[Q] CM7 based roms all cause SOD...does anyone know what's causing this? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Everytime i have tried flashing a CM7 based rom, and i've tried almost all of them, once the screen goes to sleep it won't wake up. i think that's called sleep of death (SOD), pardon my n00bness if i'm wrong. the odd thing is that when i press the wake button, the phone and even the digitizer wake up because i can hear/feel the phone unlocking when i make the sliding motion on the screen, but the screen itself will not wake up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? or better yet any ways of preventing/fixing this?

Do you have this issue on stock?

What kernel r u using? If u flashed uv kernel try to use stock voltage, some devices don't work well with custom uv kernels

I have this problem with all 3 kernels, stock, oc UV, and oc stock voltage .. I've had this phone for a month now, this is what makes it a waste of money for me. Even my girl has this problem with her g2x, yesterday I put cm 7.1, hers started doing it too.. and she's had 3 replacements..

Did u wipe ur data and format system before flashing? Try to fix permission too. Only guessing but maybe the battery is bad, as far as I know u not getting new one with replacement, so if u had same issue on stock rom that could be a problem.
I had 2 replacements but had that problem only if undervolt too much.

Well, I don't think its the battery dying but someone mentioned here before that if you look at the battery where the connectors are, there's 4 on the battery but 3 on the phone

No this issue only occurs on CM7 based roms, OTA 2.3.3 based roms work great

I haven't purposely flashed any non-stock kernels alongside the roms, unless all the roms i flashed included UV kernels....but i've flashed almost every CM7 based rom

I did wipe data, format system and even fix permissions and still same problem occurs, I don't think it has to do with the battery tho because stock OTA based roms don't have this issue...it must be something particular about the CM7 base
Also, could it be the fact that i have the WIND mobile optimus 2x? it says p999-DW on the back though

use miui it doesnt have the SOD problem cm7 did it the last time i had it (3 days ago)

yes, I have heat, but not that really hot, just a little warm when work with it more than 10 mins continuously like gaming, facebook or sth...so, it's not a big deal but battery I think I can deal with things in 24+ hours so, it's great ^^ (stock 1650 mAh fyi)...anw, has someone tried tweaks like A.S 15 beta or Supercharge or Lagfree 2.1 on CM7 yet? I applied those but don't know if they're working or not since there's nothing remarkable
Haha, after I've flashed so many roms and many times, seem like my phone now have 000...00 imei for permanent lol (forgot to backup things ^^) so, be careful men
Edit: after flashing CM7 again by FB CWM method (via CWM), the IMEI is back @@...my phone was really got me =]]

DO NOT use those tweaks on CM7. They are not made to work with CM7 and may cause issues.

Yes, flash a one click that comes with a custom kernel built in, and make sure that if you made the backup in RED cwm you restore from RED cwm

I seem to be getting inferior battery life on CM7 compared to VB w/ AntonX's kernel, with about the same amount of usage. Anyone else notice this? I'm guessing this is mainly down to the reversion to a stock kernel. Are there any tips for battery life specific to CM7 and besides the usual ones (e.g., battery apps, screen brightness, turning off mobile networks)?

CM7 will be worse on battery until they get all the kinks worked out. You might still see less battery over a custom modified stock rom.
Weird thing happened to me..from miui when I downloaded the files rebooted to recovery it booted into blue cwm so since u said that I thought ill just backup then do a red cwm since it wouldent let me flash..got on cm7 with no problems thanks guys

Try fix permissions and reflash gapps zip. If it doesn't work you might have to repartition SD card from CWM and reflash.

[Q] Problem with accelerometer!!

I have a rooted Nexus S i9023 running CM9 RC1 with Air Kernel... I usually have auto rotate turned off because I don't like it! But then a few days back my device used to auto rotate automatically with the rotate being turned off.. It solved itself after a few days so I didn't bother. But it's just stuck in landscape mode and will not switch no matter what I do! It happened while I was using KangyU also and it happened with it also 3 times. Everytime I need to perform a factory reset and flash a new ROM and then it solves :/ I used androsensor and it does show a value for Accelerometer but my phone simply does not rotate! Is there a problem with my accelerometer? Do i need to give it to the service center or can I do something that will solve it? Any help appreciated
If doing a factory reset/ reflash fixes it. Then it is not a hardware issue.
Not factory reset persay. I need to flash a new ROM for it to go normal
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
This is probably a problem with your Kernel or ROM, please flash a stock ROM to ensure that the accelerometer is fine. If you are afraid you might lose anything make a backup or so.
Okay yeah AiRKernel might be the problem. Thanks I'll try it and let you know. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I went stock.. But AndroSensor is still showing the same reading it was showing on CM9.. And the auto-rotation bug only comes after a few weeks into any ROM.. Also everytime that occurs I get a prompt saying
" Complete action using
Clock
Tune In Radio "
Everytime I get that pop-up I'm stuck on landscape for infinity. So can it be an app problem? It's happened so far on 3 ROM's I've used (KangyU, CM9, Paranoiandroid)
so I doubt whether it is a ROM issue. Maybe a Kernel issue because I've used AirKernel on all 3 of them
Could be either I suppose. Not sure how either could cause it though
The sensor read out should be the same no matter what rom is on there. That is normal. The app itself tells you what the read outs from each sensor should be as well
My point. But what I mean is, If readings are the same then the behaviour should be same as well right? Where is the accelerometer exactly located?

If a new rom and kernel didn't fix it then it might be hardware.
Strangest thing happened. I uninstalled Tune In Radio and voila auto rotate back! So the app was the issue! But any idea what might have possessed that app to do so? :/

Problems with nexus s 4g

Every time I put my phone to sleep it freezes and reboots. Sometimes it'll reboot fine, others it'll freeze on the google boot screen until I pull the battery. I've tired 4 different ROMs from locked stock to unlocked Cm9 to baked and slimbean. I've tired dirty flashing. I'm out of ideas now. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.

Changing kernels is exactly like changing ROMs. You flash them, although, you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache every time you change a kernel. Look in the developer section for our phone, there are 3 kernel choices: Matr1x, Marmite, and Air Kernel. Test each out on different ROMs, find your favorite. Be sure though, if you're going to be hopping between Android versions (4.0.4 (ICS), 2.3.7 (GB), and 4.1.1/4.1.2 (JB)) You find the version of the kernel that corresponds with whatever version of Android the ROM you're using is running. As far as I know, Marmite is only available for JB, Matr1x has kernels for all versions of Android (GB-JB), and I think Air only has ICS and JB versions. Hope this helps!

Hi..
It either some junk files u have floating around ur SD card..
Or
Are u tweaking the CPU when u install the ROMs?
Or
Are u using titanium backup to restore any of ur apps?
Try to do the entire factor reset/ wipe both cache & dalvik but also flash a zip file call "wipe all" ( it formats everything under storage and mounts except the SD card stuff)
Then flash the newest slim bean 3.0 it comes with a good kernel
Flash it and do not add anything. Check if the sleep reboot issues still occur.
If not then make a backup b4 adding ur apps and restores since one of those can be causing it.
I hope it works... good luck

SOD with stay awake checked

I just got a sod while my phone was charging, to fix this I have it checked to stay awake while its charging, but it still had a sod. This is the first time its ever happened with stay awake enabled, and my phone will not go a night without a sod without stay awake checked, but now it seems that even that doesn't work. Is there any other thing/way to fix this?

Stock cm7 kernel, build 11/18. It hasn't happened since. But now all I get is dropped signals anymore. And I can't use any different kernel without running into overheating, insane battery drain, and random reboots.

Well, maybe she's burned out from flashing,
If it was my phone, I'd flash completely back to stock. Make sure you use correct nandroid for your baseband. That brings another question, are you 21e or 21y? 21y fixed alot of issues with battery etc.
Anyways, go completely stock, than start fresh with nvflash recovery. I'd flash CWM 5.0.2.8. DONT use touch recovery.
Than start flashing your setup. Make sure you wipe everything with recovery. Wipe system for sure.
Choose one kernel, flash it as well. Than see how she runs.
