Hello all.
Hope you guys can help me figure out a little problem I've been having with my nexus.
Its basically quite simple. I've had this problem with both the infin1ty and oxygen roms.
Basically my phone randomly jumps back to the pin entry screen. Its not a total reboot, it Just goes to the pin entry and its like I just restarted the phone again.
Its happened mostly when the phone has been asleep but also one time when I was using it to browse the web. It just jumped to the pin screen asking for my sim card pin code. Its never a full on total reboot.
I don't know what could be causing the problem. The only connection between the two different roms I'm using is the fact that I use the same netarchy kernel, with set cpu and proton voltage app.
I figure if I didn't have my sim card pin enabled then the phone would just connect to the network automatically and I would be none the wiser but due to security I always have my pin enabled. So its quite annoying that when I go to wake my phone to use for something I see the pin screen waiting for me and no signal. I hope some of you guys can help me figure out what's causing the issue.
Thanks in advance

Hey, what do you know ...I'm not the only one. That's comforting at least.
I just switched to a new rom about a week ago now and same issues...it seems whatever this thing is, it runs real deep. Very annoying now.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Having the same issue - it happens irregardless of which custom rom I use. Doesn't happen often, though, like once a week and usually when I'm not using the phone. Have no clue why...
^^^it must be that we are just a small unlucky minority or else others would probably have found a solution by now.

As a general note you should always clear any and all sim card locks before putting them into any smartphones. They almost all use different protocols to communicate with the sim card and without clearing the pin before insertion can cause corruption and that's how these errors arise.

Did you do a full wipe at first before flashing?

Its a known problem with the G2x. Some custom roms and kernels help a bit. But its the main reason I'm ditching this phone. Its a great phone for those who don't suffer with this issue.

Luckily I've never had this problem ever. Apparently from what I've read around here and few other forums are that their are faulty devices and it takes a few replacements to get a good handset.
Also, maybe getting recent new made device would negate those bugs. Mine was manufactured 8/11/11 and not one bug what so ever.
Good Luck

Random reboots are almost always app related. What apps have you installed? I have been running the stock GB and versions of it with no problems whatsoever. Never had a reboot or any other problems.
This is a common issue with the G2x. When the phone came out a lot of people complained about it and got different phones but I suggest flashing a custom rom like Weapon G2x and it could help fix the problem. If that doesn't work replace it at tmobile or switch for a another phone.

Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
Hi,
I've got a Desire S on stock ICS 4.0.4. The problem with the phone is that sometimes it reboots itself for no apparent reason.
The problem isn't new to me, it had the same problem on GB 2.3.5. It happens mostly in the same physical places in my house and on route to work.. strange!!!
Could a bad sd card be the cause?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Random reboots happen wery often due to so called:kernel's panic,..
when overload of the system is so great that it could not handle it anymore,
but may also be caused by the battery that is not sitting firmly in its place,
but then switches off by no apparent reason rather than reboots,
reboots may also be caused by some nasty process, that causes kernel to panic...
but stock manufacturer software is unlikely to contain such processes,
could it be an app you've installed perhaps,
or even a physical hardware part loosing the contact with motherboard/its part,, for a moment,
To diagnose it further- if a device is still stock and unlocked,
you could reflash ics ruu and leave it to work for a while clean,
without installing anything else.
While subject it to the conditions
in which reboots were happening before
I'm really hoping it isn't a hardware problem. The reboots happen the most when calling or just after a call, very annoying and the reason i gave the phone to my wife

The first thing to check, as suggested above, is the battery. These have a habit of not fitting firmly, so get a piece of paper, fold it in half twice, and leave it between the battery and the outer case when you insert the battery.
It may not be the cause, but it is the easiest thing to check.

Hardware problem does not necessarily mean a disaster and big costs,
it may just be a loose part,
but leaviing it as is, may lead to bigger troubles in the future,

I had exactly the same issue since I bought the device with different stock and custom software.
The solution in my case was to use only GSM (2G) or only WDCMA (3G) mode, not mixed. Hope this will help you too.

I'm having similar issues here with my Desire S, HTC ICS RUU Update Software, not rooted.
To summarize:
If I use the device with a SIM card in battery mode it reboots right after entering the PIN.
If I use the device without a SIM card in battery mode, everything works fine
If I use the device with a SIM card in charger mode, everything, including calls/text/3G Internet works fine
If I disconnect the charger and have a SIM inserted, my device reboots right away
If I use my device with networking mode "WCDMA only" in battery mode, everything works, but switch to "GSM only" or "Auto select" causes reboot
I tried 3 different SIM cards from two different carriers, hence it seems not to be related to my SIM card. I can also eliminate that this is SD card related, as I tried it with and without a SD card inserted without any difference. As the device is working in battery mode without a SIM card, I think the battery cannot be the reason either.
These reboots render my phone almost completely unusable, as using WCDMA only is not an option for me...
I must say that the gsm only mode did the trick. It's only been 3 days since but I'm hopefull

Whenever I type fast the screen registers touches that I don't do or small swipes. I originally thy thought it was my fault but now I'm noticing it more often.
Does anyone else have this issue? Maybe its a kernel issue or hardware? Using PA with Franco kernel

Here you can see when I'm taping each side alternatively it registers another touch further in the middle, doesn't always happen but enough to be annoying.
OK its pretty hard to see, try yourself using screen touch test

So let's hope there's a fix.

i've noticed this as well - can't wait for a fix i hate having to type slow -.-
omg this is one of the BIGGEST issues i'm having with the phone
when i type fast it sometimes registers a swipe left or down which will either delete the last word (Swiftkey) or make the keyboard disappear
its SOOO annoying...
i really hope this is a software issue that can be addressed
i'm coming from the Nexus 5 which was super solid and accurate for typing
i even tried disabling all screen gestures as per the other OPO threads but there isnt any difference
Same here, but for me some times the app i am typing on gets minimized. Does this happen to anyone else?

Personally I've never had that but I was only using cm11s for 1 day before I moved to Paranoid android. Maybe that's a ROM issue? I've heard of someone else having the same issue as you though

I installed SwiftKey keyboard and see if it helped that issue. Sorry to inform, not by much if at all. Coming from a nexus 5 too and I thought I just wasn't adjusted to the screen size but it is happening regularly enough to make me suspicious.
this issue is becoming a showstopper for me
its like...70% accuracy or less
either it will have a phantom swipe to left or down for me, which will either delete the last word or make my keyboard disappear
i didnt have any of these issues with my N5. I have my N5 right beside me too and i type the exact same speed and its 100% accurate
something is totally off with the OPO touchscreen and i REALLY hope its a software related issue..

SwiftKey only helps the issue because it is better than Google keyboard at correcting errors when you type. The screen still had the same issue.
Surely hope this is a kernel driver issue that can be fixed. It has been noted by many people and apparently they are working on it or it has been at least acknowledged. I would be surprised if they we would let these phones go out faulty like this without knowing there was a resolution that could be reached....
Got my OPO in the mail on its way. Yet another thing to be concerned about.
Also currently running a nexus 5.

I thought it was my own personal error this whole time. Hope it can be fixed with a software update!
Guys, please help us all out and vote on this issue in JIRA to make it as visible as possible to the CM devs. Create a JIRA account, and then on the right, Vote for the issue and then watch it as well. Also, if you can, comment on it too.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
There are a LOT of people complaining about this issue, and many of us are nervously waiting to find out if it's a hardware or software issue. I'm personally hoping it's a kernel fix that needs to be done on CM's side, or it's something that can be fixed with a firmware update from JDI.
BTW - for more visibility , I found this official JIRA ticket for the issue:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
I hope it gets more exposure. I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this because it's awful.
It's really the only major issue for me though, everything about the phone has been pretty great
*EDIT
oh lol, looks like someone beat me to it haha
I am actually relieved to see other people experiencing this. I use Swiftkey almost exclusively, installed it first thing, and I thought they must have done something, because I have had to focus on slowing down how quickly I type. I am bummed to know it's my phone but relieved to know it's not just me.

No one said its a kernel issue on JIRA. I was the one who posted the issue first on XDA and someone replied to me and took the initiative to put it on JIRA. I've been following this from day 1, and the CM devs said they're looking into it. Never said if it will be fixed or not. We can only hope.
Also please notice the CM devs may have accidentally merged two issues into BACON-55. Please only talk on BACON-55 if your issue is related to fast typing and the multitouch issues.
