Root causing screen freezes? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Rooted phone again last night after I unrooted and did a factory restore because I started having a couple f/c and twice screen froze. I unrooted 3 days ago and it was working perfect, so I rooted last night, this morning I got another screen freeze, it would go off/on with the power button, but not respond to my touch. Coincidence or because of root?
I should say that I have froze/removed nothing, only installed sqlite to add wifi tethering.

I've been rooted for a little over a week with no problems.

I do have juice defender on it and smart actions working together, I wonder if its creating a conflict between them. I uninstalled JD and see what happens.

That's probably the cause. Root alone should not interfere with os operation.

Root is simply allowing an UID to become 0 (root).
The only thing that can make your phone to have problems is an app (or multiple apps).

What is causing all thise Awake time on my Razr...even did a factory reset..

i have tried everything. Even did a factory reset and installed NOTHING but synicng my google mail, contacts and calander and after a few hours of sitting there i check the battery and it shows awake Allot. like it seems to wake up every few min, small little lines all over the graph. when the screen is off.
i have wifi off now, and my phone is not active (im on my X), set to CDMA and its still waking up. i have set all the settings that i can think of to off that would make it wake up....
any ideas what so ever? last night i let it sit there all night on wifi, and went to bed with 100% woke up to 60% with massive awake time...
please help this is the only thing making me want to leave the razr...
Thank you
Try enabling the battery extender profile in smart actions. It cuts background sync/GPS if the phone is not charging or in motion.

Only when the screen is off, when unlocked everything will turn back on and your emails will come through.
yeah, thats the thing though...i use gtalk allot...dont care about the emails but i use gtalk
I don't have the battery extender smart action on and I'm getting amazing standby time better than my nexus s with mostly the same apps. I'm thinking it must be an app that's causing you battery problems.

Try os monitor, its free in the market & can help you narrow down what's running. System Tuner has a free version as well & can help you see how your running processes/services are acting. The pro version even gives a start up monitor so you can freeze or prevent certain things from running at all.

Quirky Settings problem

I dont know if it's just something i am doing or this is a problem no one noticed. Using .28 and i noticed the Asus customiuzed settings arent holding as soon as you exit that dialog and come back. Example: ASUS Customized Settings, go to the bottom and select disconnect network during sleep, it will allow it to be checked, but as soon as you go back to it (i noticed this because the unit wasnt sleeping good) it's not checked anymore. Same with WIFI on during sleep, intermidently this changes to NEVER, then i reset it back to only when plugged in..
Someone else try this and let me know if this is something on mine or everyone has this
Thanks!
Mine does the exact same thing. It started after the. 28 update. I use Juice Defender instead now and it does a nice job of keeping everything off when it's in sleep.

I dont understand why no one else noticed this battery hogging bug!
PS. What version of JD are you using, i tried it but i started to have problems where it didnt detect the wifi signal after starting up.
I'm using the paid JD and I have the same problem with it sometimes failing to reconnect. I can usually fix it by opening the app and tapping the force wifi reconnect button and then rebooting. Annoying but better than my battery draining when I'm not using it.

[Q] How to monitor "wake up" requests

Hi!
I have a Google Nexus phone on Verizon and it has recently begun waking up on it's own with no apparent reason. It keeps doing this and kills the battery within an hour or so. It only seems to do this when running on battery. It does not happen while charging.
I wanted to know if there is a way to monitor what process/application is waking the phone up.
I have uninstalled the two apps that I remember installing since the problem began and I'd rather not go through having to uninstall every app to figure out what is causing it!
TIA!

Yep, there is. Just try wakelock detector.
Other people use also betterbattery stats, but I can't read it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I've installed WLD but I'm a bit confused by what I should be looking at to see what app is turning my screen on. I read the presentation about WLD but it did not seem to help me. (Maybe I have a feeble brain!)
I did try disabling the application (Lightflow) that seemed to be waking the phone up a lot but the screen is still coming on without reason.
If you could point me the right direction, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

[Q] Greenify waking my phone

So I just downloaded Greenify and got it all set up on my Droid Turbo. It's not rooted. The annoying thing is that every few minutes my phone will wake up and run some process for a couple seconds. How do I stop this? I can't imagine that it's supposed to work that way.

I think that what is happening is, Greenify is hibernating various apps as and when they wake up. On a rooted device, you don't see Greenify doing its thing. It happens silently.
Since both my devices are rooted, I am only presuming this. Others with unrooted devices can explain better.

You could hibernate manually instead of automatically by unchecking the "Automated hibernation" in the "Experimental features" option.

Greenify Keeps Turning My Display On Dimly Then Keeps Shutting Off at Least Hourly

Hi, I've been using Greenify for quite a while, and love it. However, recently my Note 4 has been turning on by itself with a dim display, closings apps and shutting off again. I believe that is the process to shut off apps after you've shut the phone off for a few minutes, but mine is doing it at random times, and because it is dim I can't particularly see the first app each time it is shutting off.
I keep a list of every app I install and changes I make to the system, because I have run into problems with installed apps before, so now I reverse uninstalled all apps that I recently installed, and it is still doing the same thing! Is there some way/some app for me to tell what is causing it to turn on and shut down apps over and over? I really like Greenify, and I know it's not taking a lot of juice to turn on and do the close thing, but it is irritating every time I hear it turn on, make the popping sound to close apps, and shuts off again. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks,
First check that exposed is fine and clear. If is all cool, than it's greenify beta version. Probably.
Hi, I'm not running Xposed Framework, just the "Automated hibernation". I have Lollipop version 5 on my phone.

If you are unrooted, that is the normal behaviour when an app you chose for hibernation, wakes up the device. With root, the screen will not light up but still the other actions will go on.
Earlier in non-root mode, the screen would light up bright. After people complained, the Dev has dimmed the screen. I don't think it is possible to hibernate without lighting up the screen.
You can disable the sounds so that it doesn't irritate you much.

Thanks for the thorough answer. And yes, I am not rooted. The odd part to me though is that it wasn't happening until about a week ago, and then it started. I've tried to retrace all my steps to see what I've installed since then, changed, etc. but reversing all these activities still does not cause it to stop starting up like it is doing now. Do you know of any app or some way I could see what is causing it to wake up so that Grennify needs to keep shutting it down? I would really appreciate it!

Have you hibernated any system app (I think not, without root)? If so, a background update might have changed its behaviour.
If you can, backup all third party apps and then uninstall them and see whether your problem is solved. If not, it is a system app which causes it. See for which system apps you can roll back the update and then roll them back one by one and check.
I have no idea about any app which shows you what is waking up the device at any particular point.

This is happening to me also after installing latest beta 3 update. It is accompanied by 2 toast messages saying greenify has been granted root, and a long list of all apps that were put into hibernation. Seems to only happen when phone is plugged in to USB or outlet.
I am rooted running lite rom and cataclysm mod. I do not have xposed installed.
I uninstalled beta version, opted out and reinstalled standard release and it hasn't happened since.
Don't update the greenify.

What do you mean by that? Does your phone shut down or the charging stop?

I have also expressed this concern on other thread. I downgraded to beta 1 and the issue didn't reoccur again.

Figured out what was causing mine to continue to turn on over and over. It was Google Fit. I uninstalled apps that I have installed recently (I keep a list of every app I install), and once Google Fit was removed, the Greenify turning on the phone and shutting it down stopped! FYI for others with this problem.
Thanks,
Dave

i don't have google fit installed and i was having the issue.
i downgraded to 2.7 (non beta) and greenify works correctly.
-i still have trouble with random reboots when all xposed features are enabled. haven't taken the time to narrow down which feature is causing this
I don't see HOW to turn sounds off, the popping IS annoying.
I have an unrooted S3 Galaxy Thanks!

I have a similar problem. When Greenify locks the screen on my LG G4 I cannot open screen with a double tap, like I was able to in the past, I have to push the power button to be able to use my phone. I have Android 6.0, Greenify 4.1, non-rooted. Tried disabling Auto hibernation for manual, same problem. Have donation package (But can't find icon) . Love Greenify, used to work great but have to fix this problem. Please help.
