(summarized below in tl;dr version)
Since my problem I need help with showed up after going back to stock + root, I thought I'd ask in general before filling up the ROM discussion in development about the problem that I found after updating to ICS (leaked).
Had an odd problem crop up on me with scrosler's CleanROM 2.2 SP1 running (will 'splain in a sec, and tl;dr sum-up at the end), so I relocked, flashed back to pre-OTA official firmware and then let the OTA run. All was good, and I was happy. I unlocked again, installed Amon Ra, reinstalled SU, and started putting in my happy-fun root required tools (Oh Titanium, I likes you so). Then, my problem reappeared.
So my problem is occasionally the touchscreen would act "wacky" at times. Specifically, while in my browser, sometimes when I tried to scroll while browsing, the display would act like I was using pinch-zoom. It acted like I was touching the top left corner of the display in portrait mode, and zoom-in/-out according to how I was moving my touch that I intended to scroll. Then I noticed that games which required multi-touch had significant problems reading constant touch on most of the top-half of the display (left half in landscape mode with the carrier name on the left). I like Age of Zombies, and while the game would start off running right, within 20-60 seconds, the movement virtual controller would rapidly turn on and off, leaving me able to fire but not move. Grand Theft Auto was unplayable, as every time I touched a direction key in driving mode, the system would lose track of my holding the gas.
Troubleshooting took a while, as I had installed a lot of apps, and made a few changes at once after everything appeared to run properly. Ultimately, the problem appears to be caused by underclocking, and I can't figure out how to kill that and lock myself at stock speed. Haven't tried an overclocking capable kernel to see if they run any better, and haven't tried checking voltages to see if bumping them on underclocks would fix it.
I have used Antutu CPU master, an old version of SetCPU, and System Tuner Pro (from 3c). I can set the min and max CPU to 1.52, and it seems to stay for a while, but eventually, the setting reverts to allowing underclocking and my touchscreen gets goofy.
tl;dr: My system, even after restoring to RUU/OTA, wants to underclock. When the CPU runs under stock speed, my touch-screen misbehaves, particularly in gaming, but also in browsing. Any help?
Thanks
Can almost definitely confirm it's just bad hardware at this point.
After running 2 days without problem other than the touch-screen issue noted above, the phone entered an persistent bootloop after I loaded Juice Defender today. Phone would reboot, come up to home screen, get a data connection, tell me how many new email and texts I had, then tell me an app (same every reboot) was not responding and reboot 2-3 seconds after I cleared the error. Even when I managed to get to market before a reboot and uninstall the last 2 apps I'd installed, the phone is still in a boot loop.
Appreciate all that took the time to read, and wanted to share that there's a pretty good reason no one could respond with a solution.
Well, it probably is bad hardware but two cardinal rules I have when working on any Rezound is NEVER restore with Titanium BU & don't use Juice Defender (and I have a paid version of it).
I have had both mess up certain phones & I do this stuff all day at work.
I only noticed the underclocking issue with the ICS roms. But, I believe it is due to the Kernels not supporting under/overclocking and scaling options yet.

I've had the same issue for a while now and nobody answered Me either. After a little research it seems we have bad digitizers. I say this because that was happening to me on gingerbread and I upgraded to ice in part to fix it.

Okay so I have a similar problem.
I have hephappy cm9 prefinal installed just started having problems with rom. screen was acting funny so I turned on the touch point developer tool supplied with the rom. I have found that I have multiple touch points when scrolling with one finger.
So I used a apk called touch recalibrate that I got when I was on mik's cm7.
Which I have recalibrated aprox 7 times with no improvements so I set my cpu to min 600 max 600 smartassv2 this did not help either. If anyone has the answer to this problem please let me know.

Hello everyone,
Has anybody else who updated to 4.1.57 find that their Atrix is now kinda sluggish? I don't mean all the time, but every now and then I get random stutters or sluggishness when switching between programs. A couple of times, it even screen locks for a few seconds when waking up. This has never happened to me before with the 4.1.26, where programs just run without hesitation. They either run smoothly, or FC in the process. But now, some of them just becomes jittery.
I wonder if it has something to do with Motorola's battery improvement in the update. When it got sluggish on me, I decided to go to into setcpu to see at wat speed the phone was running. I noticed that the phone was throttling severely all the way down to 216 mhz the second the phone is not being used. it fluctuates up and down but it seems to always drop down there once i dont touch the phone. I think this is causing an issue cuz there's a lot of background apps and widgets running and once you try running an active program, it takes a split second to start, and that split second causes it to stutter.
I haven't had the screen lock in a while, so that's a good thing. But it seems setcpu can't seem to force the cpu to constantly stay high, even if i put the minimum to 1000mhz, so I get those stutters every now and then.
Anybody has any suggestions on this matter? Im thinking if this persists, I might just go back to 5.1.26 until they come up with a major update. Really the only reason I updated was cuz the prompt was driving me mad.
p.s. another way I know how the cpu isnt running a constant 1ghz --- my phone isnt as hot as it used to be. it used to be so warm in my hand, my hand would turn red from holding it.
It takes very, very little time for a modern CPU to change its clock speed. Monitor your computer's CPU clock closely sometime, it almost certainly does throttling to a similar degree. I also observed similar levels of throttling via tegrastats on my Atrix prior to the update.
Personally 1.5.7 has been good for me, at least in the sense that nothing appears to be worse after.

Only heard good reviews on 4.1.57. Can't wait for Bell to issue it too
lol, i dont like throttling. All my PCs n laptops run on full speed (throttling disabled) whenever they're on. I expect the same with my phone x) I just don't like any lag but I understand wat you mean. I still wanna hear what other's feel about the update.
note: I'm about to deodex the phone in a bit. Let's see how it ends
Moving stuff around in device memory is an order of magnitude slower than your CPU changing clock speed, and moving stuff between flash and device member is an order of magnitude or two slower than that. CPU throttling isn't the right place to look for this sort of issue.
As for your computers and not allowing them to throttle...enjoy the power bill I suppose. Even in overclocked scenarios modern processors work just fine with throttling enabled.

Atrix 4.1.57 issues
I have had my Atrix for over a month with no issues. After the 4.1.57 update I have the following 3 issues:
1. The phone randomely reboots (never did this before the update)
2. The cell signal is much weaker; no signal in areas where it had signal before
3. Apps seems to start slower.
I called motorola technical support and asked if there is a way to un-install this update; the answer is NO, all they can come up with is a factory RESET which will not remove the update but will remove all my data and Apps.
I finally sent the phone to AT&T and got a replacement with 4.1.26 and it works fine, especially the battery life and the cell signal and no reboots so far.
OK, so I'm on GSB 3.4 (though this issue began with 3.3), and I'm having a problem with my phone rebooting (screen cuts off after about a second, and the phone immediately reboots to the skateboard screen) at the following times:
1. Whenever I attempt to wake the phone from sleep.
2. Whenever I hang up a phone call.
3. Whenever I get a phone call while the phone is asleep.
4. Whenever I plug the phone in to charge while the phone is asleep (be it a wall socket or PC) [see below].
These problems only occur when the phone is NOT plugged into a charging source; the problem appears to be nonexistent in this scenario. But as soon as I unplug, all 4 become auto-crash scenarios.
I tried going back to GSB 3.2, but no dice. I then resorted to the stock-ish XTRsense ROM, which fixed the issue, but going back to Froyo just was too big a downgrade for me.
Throughout this process, I full-wiped multiple times, hoping to track the issue to an app or setting, but even before restoring anything through TBU (I think I may have just let the phone go to sleep at the "Touch the Android" initial setup screen once), the problem persisted, eliminating apps, settings, or CM7 CPU modifications as possible culprits.
I've continued to play with CM7 CPU settings even up till now, but I'm not getting much of anywhere. I've now resorted to the "Caffeine" app, which just never lets the phone go to sleep, and I just turn the brightness down or activate the "Desk Clock" mode in the default Clock app to save battery.
HELP?
Have you tried Tazz's ROM or CondemnedSoul's ROM, just to see what happens with those? CS's ROM uses ADW as the default launcher (not sure about Tazz's) - perhaps it's something with LauncherPro?

Guys, just thought I throw out the idea that it might an overclocking (i.e., hardware) issue?
I see that the Conap's CFS kernel that GSB 3.4 uses is max clocked at 604 MHz, but maybe that's too high for your particular phone?
I also think that schultzmd's comment about the ondemand governor helping might point to the clock stepping to a higher speed when coming out of sleep (and being related to clock speed). Maybe try running the phone at a lower speed just to see if its better behaved might prove instructive.
Just a thought...
Cheers!

Sounds familiar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14016867&postcount=5186
I'll try the changing the max, but I know I've tried as low as 604 max (19 min) with the problem persisting, and as high as 710 or 768 before GSB 3.3 (when the problem started) with no major issues. And I had already been using Ondemand when the problem started, having stopped using Smartass when I thought it slowing the performance down a bit. Any other governors I should try?
And does the overclocking issue not apply when a phone is charging?

Well, you are introducing some extra heat into the equation while charging, which might be enough to tip the balance against you if it is indeed an overclock issue.

You would have only seen that if you had seen the post in the GSB thread, of course.
I am still going to suggest trying Tazz or Condemned. From what the OP says, he should be able to see that it's having the same issue pretty quickly.
But, just to rule out the OC issue, you could try setting the max to stock 528 and see if it still happens.

I was inquiring as to why the issue DOESN'T happen when I'm charging. I'm not sure if that's what you were saying, but I have no issues while the phone is charging; it's weird, because CM7's CPU governor doesn't allow profiles for "screen-off", "charging", or anything like that. It just seems to make my problem more random and untraceable. It literally is happening on EVERY CPU setting, even 480 max (which to me, is just pointless to actually use)
I've full-wiped so many times in the last few days, I'm wary to just try a different Gingerbread ROM when GSB is (was, for me) so stable and full-featured. I'm trying my darnedest to just stick it out and charge-charge-charge to avoid the issue.
One more thing: if, right after the phone reboots itself, I unlock it before the screen goes off and manually put it to sleep and quickly wake it back up, the issue usually doesn't occur (and I can keep doing this, putting it to sleep and waking it back up again, with no issue). But if I unlock it and let it sit and reach the screen timeout itself (or never unlock it after it reboots, then let it sit for a while), the problem reoccurs.

I have used both GSB and Condemned and you will not be missing anything. I stopped using GSB because I could not get market updates to stick reliably. I do not have that issue at all with Condemned.
Right now the only issue with the latest Condemned is apparently a GPS issue, so I would go with V6 or V7 rather than V8 for now until CondemnedSoul gets an update. Or, if you don't navigate, go ahead with V8. It's just fine.
You're obviously having a stability issue with GSB now, so you have nothing to lose but about 45 minutes of time and a Nandroid Restore to go back to GSB if you don't like it.
So, I had a minor issue that was fixed by switching to a different ROM. It's worth a try.
I wish you luck finding a solution.

Nate,
Sorry about that ...I was confused from where you asked in post #8 about whether or not overclocking was in effect while charging (it can/could be, depending on the overclocking monitor/govenor I suppose) and I had lost that point from your original post.
I would say take doogald's advice and switch to at least some other ROM since that would help indicate if it is indeed a software issue or a hardware issue. Its sounding like its not clock-speed related given the things you've already tried. If you've still got issues on other ROMs, that would tend to point to some hardware issue (our Erii are getting a little long in the tooth at this point, after all).
You could even flash back to stock and see if the phone is still stable there since you can always re-root and re-restore your Nandroid backups.
Good luck...I hope you figure something out.
Problem is alive and well on Condemned GB. *sigh*
XTRsense was fine and flawless, but going back to Froyo after months on gingerbread was just too depressing for me...

I'm going to make one more suggestion - not sure if you have tried this yet, but try flashing GSB from a full wipe. When you go through the setup, DO NOT LOG IN TO YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT. After the launcher starts, go into the market, let it log you in to your Google account then, and then install all of your apps and change all of your settings from scratch.
When you log in with your Google account when installing a CM ROM, it tries to restore your apps and settings from your last CM ROM install. It may be that you have some weird setting or app that is causing this that you just keep reinstalling when you flash the ROM and log in with your account.
If you've already tried this, then try running xtrSENSE or xtrROM instead. They are both excellent ROMs and clearly your phone likes them better.
[edit] Oh, and try leaving your min at 245 MHz for a while. See if that helps your phone run better. It should, and it should have the exact same battery life as 19.2, as nonsensical as that sounds.
It is literally happening as soon as I boot the phone after a fresh GB install. I four-corner the Android setup screen, let the screen time out, and boom I'm screwed.
I wanna know if anyone else has this issue or not when click an app like a game it takes up to 10 seconds for it to run and after exiting sometimes the main screen is very delayed and sometimes unresponsive when scrolling left and right. I also have an issue of the phone not wanting to switch back to 4g if in 3g or 1x just stuck until I reboot or restart it. Wanna know if I should get this one replaced or not. Also GPS is horrible never accurate. It say in running little kids on the sidewalk over constantly or running threw people house. I have factory data restored it but same problem. Need to know if I need new one?

It does happen. Try a different kernel or over clocking.
this happens to me occasionally, usually only when the battery is hot/doing a LOT of things at once. (meaning when i'm charging and using pandora over bluetooth, wireless tether, and waze at once) the phone lags up so much that when i press the home button, the haptic vibrate stays on for about 3 seconds.... this is when i know that its happening - and i'll just pull the battery...
If you're running stock & it's been like that since day one, you might consider exchanging it. If you're running a custom rom/kernel, reflash & leave it at default settings for a few days & see if the problems resolve

I've never had the lag issue you speak of, however, the gps issue I have seen, but has been fixed in recent custom roms and will be addressed in the update. If you are on stock, you might want to just wait it out for 9 more days till the OTA rolls out. If you are using a custom rom/kernel combo, what are you using?

I also forgot to mention that i'm on BAMF 1.8 with the kernel that it comes with.
If your rooted, i'd recommend unchecking your "set at boot" and profiles in SetCPU, reboot, and see if it continues. As said above, if unrooted... a call to verizon may be in order.
My phone is not rooted every phone I have rooted besides like 2 I have bricked. But yeah I don't get why they didn't run this stupid phone a dule core. I got to play with a phone that had a dule core and response is so amazing.
Then you should take it back to verizon & exchange it for another. Your Tbolt shouldn't be like that out of the box. I've never had GPS issues, even on stock it would lock within a few seconds. And dual core is overrated unless you have apps that actually take advantage of it (not many). No wonder you were impressed with dual core phones lol. My mildly overclocked Tbolt runs Sense just as fluidly as any Atrix runs MotoBlur

Okay thanks I have been looking for an excuse to tell them basterds off.
Hi all, I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.5.7 and in the last couple weeks I've picked up my phone only to find it was off, not sleeping. It still has plenty of charge left (I can't remember when my phone last went below 50%), and it boots back up without a problem. You wouldn't know there was anything wrong except for the fact that it sometimes turns off on its own.
My first problem is that I don't know where to look to see what could be the trouble. It's running ADWLauncher EX. Beyond that and the OS I don't know what could be relevant. I switched to CM7 last month, up to then I'd been running GingerLOL and I never had this issue.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

I've done that, but does logcat hold on to recent logs automatically, or do I have to turn on "save to sd card"?
I think I might be having this same issue. I left my phone on and plugged in to charge not even for a half hour or less then I came back to it later and pressed the power button to try to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn on. Then I pressed and held it a second and it wouldn't turn on. I unplugged the battery then plugged it back in then it powered up fine. I seem to be having this issue every once in awhile and I am not quite certain why it is doing this. Also it seems like it has an issue with charging on my computer. I plug it and it the computer is telling me that it can be connected to a higher speed port which makes no since as I have 2 usb 2.0 ports and 1 usb sata port. But basically I plug it in with a full charge and it has no problem keeping it charged but when it ends up going down to at least 50% the charge just keep deceasing and never charges. I just hope that I can make it stop this as it is getting quite annoying maybe it is just the battery or something but I can't see how as it isn't even 6 months old.
I've tried using Logcat but unless you set it to save the log every few seconds it doesn't help. If there's an error it doesn't get caught by Logcat because whatever it does, it turns off the whole phone.
What are you overclocked to?
I'm not, unless CM7 comes already set to overclock. I don't play games on my phone so not much point overclocking for me.

Well then. I don't know. Have you tried reflashing the ROM?
Not yet. I was hoping Mik's CM7 6.6.1 would have been declared stable by now, but I guess I'll have to settle for 6.5.8.
Quick off-topic question: ADW Launcher always comes to a grinding halt immediately after a reboot, to the point it gives the force-close option window. Is that because there are widgets installed to the partition on the sdcard, thanks to app2sd? I checked under applications and it says they're installed to the phone, but I thought I heard that app2sd (I'm using Darktremor's, as suggested by Mik) effectively takes the option out of your hands, making it moot. If that's the case, how do I delete the partition, since I'll be doing a full wipe and reinstall when I flash the ROM again.
I don't play games 2
Dammit! Yesterday I did a complete wipe (return to factory, wipe dalvik), reformatted the sd card, and updated the ROM to 6.5.8 and it just shut down on its own again. I even saw it happen... while it was sleeping, I saw the buttons light up and blink once or twice, then it shut off. The screen stayed off.
I did a clean install and haven't touched the clock settings. I reinstalled my apps of course, but I don't have anything that runs constantly in the background that I'm aware of. I installed ADW Launcher EX, I don't know if that matters.
Does this mean it could have a physical fault somewhere? I'd really hate to have to go through the hassle of reloading the LG stock ROM and unrooting it (that's possible, right) to send it in for repair.
I had the same problem with gingerbread and the related roms.
But my problems were about the overclock frequencies. I used the italian rom GingerLoL 1.5.2 and I set the frequencies in this mode: 320-729 smartass v2. No more problems.
I don't know why I hadn't this problem with Froyo's rom...
I'm tempted to fiddle with the clock settings now that I know just reflashing the rom doesn't help. It seems by default CM7 is set to 245-600mhz, with the "smartass" governor. I figure I might as well bump the low end to 320, but where's the "v2" version of smartass you mention? It's not in the list.
I have exactly the same issue! Tried 3 different firmwares, 3 different roms and different kernels too, but it seems to reboot by itself and also really slow sometimes to scroll. Can't solve this... maybe some hardware troubles? some new defected cpu ? I sent this phone 1 month ago in warranty and they changed me the logic board, then when i got it back, it started to have this trouble. Before this, never had this trouble.

I have done a full wipe, but I don't understand your other suggestion. I'm using Darktremor's Apps2SD, so I'm pretty sure I'm not running low on ACTUAL internal memory.
As per my last comment, I bumped the low end of the governor to 320mhz and there was no trouble until two days ago when it turned off on its own again, making it the longest it went without the spontaneous shutdown. However, it then broke its record for SHORTEST time because it shutdown again five hours later.
Can anyone thing of anything else, or should I start looking for my warranty info?

I have done a full wipe, but I don't understand your other suggestion. I'm using Darktremor's Apps2SD, so I'm pretty sure I'm not running low on ACTUAL internal memory.
As per my last comment, I bumped the low end of the governor to 320mhz and there was no trouble until two days ago when it turned off on its own again, making it the longest it went without the spontaneous shutdown. However, it then broke its record for SHORTEST time because it shutdown again five hours later.

I'm my case the phone boots and when it load all the aplications it reboots... but one time i quickly go to setting>applications>manage applications and there has less than 1 mb... so i think it was building something like caches... I wiped everything and my phone worked as usually... but i installed a lot of things again and it keeps rebooting and rebooting... i wiped everything again and installed just few things, leaving my phone to have high internal memory... it worked!(actually i have 42 mbs of free space and it never happened again)
I have intermittent issues with Sense-based roms, that I also experienced on stock that I'm wondering if anyone else has or has a fix for. Basically, sporadically the brightness toggle in the Power Control widget becomes very slow for the hardware to respond. Another issue that may be related as this happens with phone calls too, and I suspect the two may be related if it is the result of a background process being killed by Sense's own aggressive background process killing.
I'll hit the toggle and get immediate visual feedback (button effect occurs on the UI), I'll hit it a few more times with still no effect. Then, maybe 5-10 seconds later, the actual screen brightness will start toggling like crazy based on how many times I clicked it. Similarly in the phone app, if I dial a number and hit the button to connect, nothing happens. It just hangs out for like 5-10+ seconds then if I'm lucky actually goes to connect the call. This issue occurs sporadically, and seems to be independent of any load-based factors. I suspect it's a software issue as I don't experience anything of the sort under CM10... I would love to just stay on CM10 but I have a variety of radio-based issues with that that make this not an acceptable avenue (sadly).
Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Those are all definitely Sense related problems and its from problems like yours that I switched to CM10. Can you go into further depth with your radio problem?

I tried the latest stable available from CM, as well as Deck's latest CM10 and have been experiencing the following symptoms that, unfortunately, despite how AWESOME my phone feels on CM10 over Sense, they're a deal breaker for me.
GPS Issue: For some odd reason the phone has trouble holding onto a GPS lock. For me it is specifically glaring in Google Maps Navigation where I'm driving along fine with a lock on my position, then Navigation will zoom out with only very broad accuracy (assume via radio-location) and say the message to the effect of "Looking for GPS" for 10-15+ seconds, reacquires a lock, holds it for maybe 1-2 minutes, then rinses/repeats. I did try the Sense GPS fix for this to no avail.
Phone Issue: I've read a lot of people having LTE issues w/ this, but with no LTE avail in my area this is the least of my concerns. My problem is that it seems to sporadically lose CDMA connectivity or something...the network status indicator switches to this right-aligned right triangle Just like this one in the attached image labelled "Emergency Calls". This occurs even if I switch the network to CDMA only... Not a HUGE annoyance except for when I'm on a call, it gets immediately dropped and I look at my phone and that damn icon is showing for network status, though it comes back to service within about 5 seconds. I have tried flashing the updated radios from themikmik, though that didn't seem to pacify the problem.
So yeah, that's why I'm back on this damn bloated Sense If you have any suggestions on how to fix either of these I would be forever in your debt
Honestly, I've run Sense 90% of the time since I got mine the first day it was available without these issues... I know some people reported contact lag but I've never seen it and most sense roms claim to have a fix for it built in.
I'm on the lastest stock OTA rooted and I just sat like an idiot mashing the brightness button for 2 straight minutes with no lag, just smooth transitions in brightness. Even the switch animation worked smoothly the whole time. You may have too many apps installed, or one particular app causing it.
Edit: Maybe you already use this but if not, try it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700211
You might even have a bad wipe,
Edit #2: And now after mashing it a bunch more times I finally replicated it lol.. Hmmm, I guess I was wrong. But its really a hard to replicate bug unless your using your power widget to turn your phone into a strobe light.

I know it isn't something everyone experiences; Though I'm more concerned with those who may have experienced, and have discovered a fix. I've tried virtually every Sense ROM in high consumption hoping this will go away including MeanROM, CleanROM DE 1.5 (was my favorite for a long time, but problem resurfaced there), Viper4G. This issue occurring in stock is what prompted me to try a custom rom to begin with.

I'm on MeanROM 6.5, and just did the same thing you did successfully. It's an intermittent issue that doesn't occur most of the time... but when it DOES occur it is extremely annoying. I will try to see if I can determine if another app could be causing this, but if there is it is just another thing that makes me hate Sense... changing screen brightness and initiating a phone call should be some pretty low-level API calls that shouldn't be dependent on or affected by other running apps... supported by the fact that I have never experienced this issue on CM10 or any of the other AOSP-based roms despite having all the same apps running.

Yeah, I user superwipe between every ROM install.
It's not a certain app in general. The main culprit is sense. That process/software causes the whole phone to be a lag machine regardless of what rom you have it on. Trust me I went through stock and viper4g(which I super wiped prior to installing) and still no prevail. HTC is going to have to fix sense BIG TIME to get rid of these lag issues.

Not sure what phone your using but on mine its running beautifully Meanrom is my favorite but I'm literally on stock right now with no lag... I can swipe through the fully loaded homescreens with no problems. Lag just isn't an issue... It's not the same as vanilla ics/jb but its definitely not laggy.

I assume he's referring to the idea that people use their phones for more things than just swiping between home screens... compared to CM10, basic things like launching apps feels like driving down the street with cement in your trunk.
Ok your right its not laggy but there is literally no multitasking and some other processes like earbud remote controls literally takes half a minute for the phone to process. Sense is just bad for your phone.

Absolutely, 100% spot on.
