I have tnt 4.4 and things were going great until recently I attempted to add the wiimote controller using the revert to older settings menu to change keyboard options. The honeycomb boot menu kept loading and my tablet never turned on again. So I installed 4.4 again and even got titanium pro because I grew tired of installing apps 1 by 1. Now I have this issue which is by far the most frustrating problem I've had with this tablet. No matter what I have open, the screen shuts off after 5-6 seconds. I have to tap the power button to wake it. The last time this happened to me, I installed 4.4 again and things were fine for almost a month till that reverting of menus thing.
Is there anything I can do to get out of this sleep bug every 5-6 seconds of inactivity? I could understand 5-6 mins but seconds is ridiculous (yeah, that's what she said ) Please help thanks in advance, I love this forum and the community.
A shot in the dark...
Check Settings->Display->Screen Timeout value, and check if modifying it changes anything.
Hello guys, I just noticed strange bug/behaviour. If my battery is around 10%, touch screen is not respondig as it should (also touch buttons). I have to tap like 10 times on some tile to open it and then tap another 10 times on back button or home button to jump of from app. As soon as I connected the charger, phone is behave normal, like new
Does somebody else notice the same behaviour or its just me?
P.S. Tried to reboot phone twice. Battery saver was off.

Can you check under settings -> applications -> Background tasks?
It more looks like plenty of apps are trying to sync up or use the resources. I might be wrong, but this did happen to me even at about 55% battery. But not as bad as 10 taps. I just felt the app launching was a lil slower than normal when I had ample background tasks.
Didn't know about "Background tasks", thanks
Currently I have only "HTC Hub" there. I will go and check this setting next time when I occur this problem.
But anyway, shouldn't reboot kill all background apps?

Reboot surely will kill all background apps. But these background apps are different to other OS. They are those that will 'start on boot'. So after reboot just in few seconds, they will get to their business as usual.
I love this 'background' task feature! No other OS does it so efficiently as Windows.
The good thing is if you check that place often, you will know what apps are 'going to run'. It doesn't mean they are running all the time. It tends to indicate the capability of them to run.
So as you said you just have HTC Hub, which is same on mine. However, when you to go 'advanced' option on that same page, you will see a list of greyed out apps that are going to run in background and you can't kill them. Reason being these apps need to be told about not running in background by entering them individually.
See if that greyed out list has some huge apps. I downloaded this gMaps thing from market and although I just looked for maps once (a day ago) since then, it's been running. It's because it kept on looking for my GPS co-ordinates. Now that dint freeze my phone (1.5 Ghz, I know!) but it drained battery quicker. Changing attributes within the app, removed it from greyed list and happy days!
In a nutshell, very intelligent task management. You can choose what can run and can't run while your screen is off! + you get benefit of battery saver option if you use that so you can choose who can connect to 3g network and who can't while you are not looking at your screen!
PS: whole point of that long post was : Most likely it's not a background task that's hogging your processor, but it's worth looking under advanced and you might know what app was it.
Hey, that was a long post Thanks for clarifying. I just checked Advanced tab and there are only HTC hub and some Media something (I have it in Czech so don't know the exact name in english)
Anyway I will keep my eye on that menu and in case of any issue I will check it and we will see
OK guys, here is the update. It's still happening :/ Everytime battery drops under 10% phone cannot be almost used. I have to tap everything 10 times to get it done. Checking background task was not helpfull, only HTC Hub is running (even if I kill it its the same).
So...I don't know...maybe its a bug (some power-saving feature thats is not configured properly?). I was used to behaviour when my mobile works even with no battery left like fully charged. No change in behaviour...

As a last resort - try a hard reset. I've got many issues fixed that way.
However, can I ask how closer to the release did you get this phone? Here in the UK there seems to be two separate batches dispatched. One which was at the release - which is buggy batch. I got my new phone sorted from someone I knew at the store and so far not a single problem from the earlier handset is seen. Battery is drastically better too (it was better on earlier one already, but this is very pleasing!)
Try hard reset, if that doesn't solve it, I would recommend to swap it if you can.
Hello everyone,
I am facing the exact same issue on my HTC Titan - when battery is low (battery saver turns on), touchscreen becomes unresponsive. This is very annoying since it usually happens when i get an incoming call and i cannot answer it.
Did anybody try hard-resetting the phone in order to solve this issue?
Thanks for the answers!
Regards
Hello there... I have the same problems too. I don't try to do hard rest for my titan. It is very annoying for me. Also some time my touchscreen becomes unresponsive even the battery charging is more than 50%...
Yeah, I get this issue too, it makes the phone unusable until you get to a charger. I find that it comes in stages, it sometimes is really bad then works for a few seconds, then stops again.
I have checked all my background tasks and nothing is really running.
I have this issue too. I got this phone only yesterday, and when my battery reached 10%, touchscreen became unresponsible.
Guys I think I've mentioned this in the FAQs thread, but ..
Everyone with this issue - please tick the box under battery saver, where it says 'automatically start.... '
If you phone goes below 25% without battery saver ON, it will lag/freeze - the screen response.
However with battery saver on, you will be able to use it till you go below 5% or even 3% when it gives you the 'critical battery' warning.
This is HTC screwing with us!
mine has the completely opposite problem!! when the phone is charging, the screen becomes very unusable, in ex. i press the phone tile, the screen registers my tap, but it understands that i pressed the tile below or next to the one i really pressed. or i happen to scroll down or up, the phone hesitates for a second and then scrolls but it is very jumpy and jittery, unlike normal use. some times it doesn't even register my taps 2 or maybe 3 times in a row!!
the only workaround i've found is not to use the phone when charging
is this happening because of a faulty charger, maybe the phone is experiencing a short circuiting situation??
(i forgot to mention that i have the phone only for a week!!)
thanks

I have battery saver enabled and even with the heart icon in the info bar at the top, the screen is still unresponsive.
Same here! i thought it was just my device that was dead or something, even since it's only 2 months old!
I did a hard reset and it solved the problem, it must have been something messing it up.
Nope...I have tried Hard Rests...ROM Changes etc...but its still the same problem..
Does anyone here think its a hardware problem ? or something else?
Any geek suggestion would be helpful
Send it back to htc, let them repair it?
Sent from my HTC using Board Express
Hi, I also have a problem with non-responsive screens but only in specific areas and doesn't have to be 10% percent or lower.
Ex: It happens only when the keyboard is up and the buttons on the bottom are very difficult to press!
I'll provide pictures soon

That happened to me today. Then I did a hard reset and now my phone won't go past the carrier logo (the one after the HTC logo, and before the windows Phone logo)
This is an unmodded phone, just to start off quickly. I take pretty good care of my phone. However, the camera app on this is super slow and frustrating.
When I activate the camera from sleep mode either by double tapping the volume key or use the lock screen camera icon, the app launches, but it takes anywhere from 10 - 15 seconds for the shutter button to be active and start taking photos. This is in all auto and manual modes.
I've missed a lot of moments that I couldn't capture, because I'm waiting for the app to do whatever it's doing and then start working. But even after the button is active, I press it and it stalls and then takes the photo. I've tried rebooting and even go through my phone for running apps that could possibly slow it down, but I just get general push notifications and emails. No heavy apps running in the background.
Any ideas how to get around, or resolve this issue?
Thank you.
Have the exact same issue. Rebooting helps a LITTLE but often still 5-10 seconds of lag, which can result in completely missing the shot. Searched around a bit, no one seems to have a solution for it that I can tell.
So annoying! I'm going to write to LG about it, because it's BS that they don't fix this software issue, and I shouldn't have to buy a new phone for a camera app.
Firstly I wanted to clarify one thing that my phone worked okay after the update. I didn't realise it has updated until after a boot loop.
Just FYI The camera in my phone have been crashing randomly when taking pics and the pics weren't having the full resolution. It was 1280x720. This wasn't an issue for me and I ignored it for like 3-4 months.
So my redmi note 10 have had some random reboot issues lately which i didn't give much attention to. It wasn't frequent just rare random reboots. Few days back I noticed my phone rebooting while in use and it started to loop for a few times and when it loaded into lockscreen right after unlocking, the power button started to press automatically triggering the power option screen and then the emergency calls as well. It stopped after a few taps on the power button.
A day or two later it rebooted once again while the recorder was on and and this time it boot looped a few times and showed the lockscreen and crashed booting back once again. A few tries after that it booted up and I was able to use it for another day.
The very next day, it did the same. Started to boot and loop once again. But this time when the battery is sufficient enough or the phones cool and haven't been used for a while, it boots into lockscreen but freezes and crashes. At one occasion, it stayed just a few more seconds long enough to open the passcode screen but crashes before I could type anything. Then it loops once again and before even reaching the lockscreen, boots back into MI Android Powered screen right after the three dots blinking page. And randomly it boots into lockscreen as well. But once the battery is down or the phone is heated enough, it barely goes into lockscreen.
Booting into safe mode also shows the same. It sometimes boots into lockscreen but doesn't show the 'safe mode' text in the bottom.
Right now when I had kept my phone off for a while it booted into lockscreen twice and the screen dims immediately before freezing and crashing.
The third time it just went back to the MI Android powered logo right after the three dots blinking screen.
Guys please let me know do you think this is a hardware issue or a corrupt software update?
I know software update issue can cause bootloop but does it reach till the lockscreen? My phone consistently gets into the lockscreen when the battery is sufficient or the phones cool enough.
What last update did you perform?

MIUI 14 which i didn't even realise until I checked the settings app one day after a boot issue
What version do you have?
For me see screenshot, works fine!
Backup your data and clean flash with Mi Flash Tool, you can then exclude any software problem
This issue have been resolved.
The issue was the CPU couldn't handle the heat once the device turned on and would reboot right after reaching the lockscreen and loops.
Thank you for all your suggestions, though.
