Issue with nexus s 4g - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue with my nexus s 4g. When I'm on stock Tom non rooted eeverything works fine. When I root and put on different roms my phone acts weird. When I have a different rom on when I'm charging my phone everything is fine. As soon as I take the phone off and let the screen turn off for about 15+ seconds the screen won't turn back. The only way to turn the screen back on is removing the batteru and reinserting it. I've tried different roms but I'm having the same problem. I went back to stock in the meantime while I try to figure this out. Thanks in advance

I don't change any kernels. I do a lot of underclocking. I keep it at 1000 Max and 100 low on demand mode but when my screen is off I keep it at 100 max and low. I've tried different gingerbread roms. Today I tried the aosp rom and it did the same thing so I'm assuming its something with my phone

It's not the roms or the phone. You can't clock the processor down that low when screen is off. It will never wake up.

It's better to ask the kernel dev about clock speeds

I figured out that its set CPU which is affecting my phone. I'm on aosp ics from and its working great without it. As soon as I enable set CPU my phone starts acting weird.

Yeah, because you clocked it too low. When your remove setcpu, it returns to the kernels stock clock speeds. Don't blame the program....it's works just fine for everyone else.

when I did the adjustments to the setting it made my phone constantly reboot. I got rid of the app and my phone is fine. I never had an issue with it when I had it on my HTC evo 4g

Because you clocked it too low. I think anything below 800 while sleeping well prevent it from waking. You can't clock it at 100 max.

Is this normal??

When I unlock my phone and swipe to the next screen it is unresponsive and have to take several swipes sometimes before the phone wakes up and goes to the next screen.

Doesn't sound very 'normal' to me.
What was the last change you made?
To answer your question......no...

This is not normal. A few questions for you though:
1. Did you root your phone or mod it in any other way?
2. Are you using an alternative launcher?
3. If a third-party app is causing this, it may be hard to diagnose. Could you go into Settings > About phone > Battery use and list the apps and usage numbers? This could provide some leads.
Had this problem with a non-standard background-picture and 3d wallpaper.
(not rooted/unlocked 2.3.4)
I opened thread abou tuning touchscreen, if you still on 2.3.3 u can use modified netarchy kernel fixing this issue.

This kernel works great with cm7.02.
Not working with 2.3.4

Thank you guys!
OK so I notice that this happens sometimes when I use heavy wallpapers. So switched to lower size wallpapers and is doing the trick.
My phone is not rooted. I want to root it and customize it so bad but I'm afraid to brick my phone.

You guys are great!!! Thanks again!! Would love to have cm7 on my phone.... Hey anyone from NYC want to meet up and hook up my phone lol!!

[Q] BLN Setup

How do I setup the BLN app to work? I flashed Netarchy's kernel and I'm on a Nexus S 4G and I downloaded the BLN Control App Pro it just won't make the LED lights blink.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Does it even work on the NS4G?
I'd love it if it does. But ive tried using Netarchy's Kernal wit ha couple of different roms and BLN has never worked for me.

It apparently is supposed to so I hope we can figure it out.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
It works fine with net’s kernels. Download the app, check the box to turn BLN on and then set preferences. Done.

Are you sure you are on Netarchy's kernel? And is your battery over 30%? (The default cutoff point for BLN)
bln
On my Nexus S 4G BLN didn't actually work until I toggled BLN on/off from within the BLN app, after that worked great. Or a reboot would probably work too
Got it, phone just needed a reboot thanks!

What u
I ment is does it vibrate in a pattern? Apps do 3 fast pulses when they are forced to close by the system when something goes wrong.

Have you dropped the scaling down. And shut off the higher oc values? Typically that kind of thing is result of pushing the phone too high.

i used tegrak OC back when it didn't have the run for a minute and see whether stable option. And I had set on boot, OC to 1.65 just to see what happened. It turned on and then blurry freeze. Had to clear cache, and dalvik. Surprisingly, it worked.

App that helps battery?

Are there any apps out there that LEGITIMATELY help save/prolong battery life? I have memory booster running but that just helps my phone run smoother by killing cached app processes. Anything you guys can recommend?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
This phone requires it's own nuclear power plant lol.
Seriously though, don't use memory boosters. They kill battery.
My setup is, CPU Tuner with timeriffic to set display brightness. With Maz's latest kernel I can get by... mind you I live in a very bad signal area (2 bars if I am lucky).
I set cpu to 216 when screen off with performance governor. Also I turn off data and Wi-Fi when screen turns off.

I have mazs latest beta kernel as well. Don't really see a difference in battery life from his previous oc kernel. Ill try CPU tuner though

Sure, but be careful with it. I once it accidentally to low enough power to where I could not get out of screen off (kept going back to screen off). Also using one cpu does not work.

Does CPU tuner even work with a kernel that not over clockable?

Would, but only two cpu states will be accessible... fairly useless.
Edit: you need voltage states for intermediate voltages, then it should work. But I have never seen a non OC kernel with granular voltage definition.

Antutu battery saver is genius. on the pulldown notification it gives battery % (+battery added)
so like 100%((+30)
also clean master (which is a memory booster) doesn't run in background so it doesn't deplete battery as much as some others

i installed android booster, but also procured a brand new stock battery, and i actually am enjoying about 50-60% increase in battery life... although it still is not a lot (as far as i'm concerned!) after draining it, recharging to 100%, and then calibrating, i went 7 hrs 47 mins from 100% to 50% with normal use - calling, texting, some video, some gaming. not to bad considering my old battery would only last about 3 hours or less with the same kind of usage!!!

Check out DS Battery saver. I use it on my N7, catch is, to save battery it turns off all wireless signals. It also forces the device into deep sleep as well.

Yea, if you get the paid version you can create custom profiles. It's a nice app for a tablet, but only so nice for a phone.

I'm using Trinity ELP file "ELP-G2x-06022012.zip", which has worked best for me as my G2X doesn't work that well with faux-based kernels. I'm also running dual boot with Maz's awesome JB rom with hardware acceleration - this is where I install games and experimental apps.
