Hi All,
I have a mt4g which is rooted with S=Off. I switch between the Sense launcher and Launcher Pro Plus. Usual apps on the phone, not too many.
For last week or so, I have been seeing that sometimes the phone gets really really laggy and Norton Util tells me that the CPU is 100%.
Also, I think most of the times, when this happens, I see a Sync icon up top. I do not sync a lot, just 2 GMail Inboxes and weather (every 6 hours). But I do see that Sync icon most of the times when this lagging happens.
I have tried removing apps, but this still seems to be a problem. I have see somewhere that turning the USB debugging to ON has helped many, but did not work for me.
I tried CM7 RC1 when it was out, but didnt like it (stock camera etc...) and I restored back to my stock ROM. Could this have done something?
Thanks

On your home screen hit menu key. Go to settings. Select accounts and sync. See what all is listed there. Chances are something with sense is constantly syncing.
Disable everything from syncing. See if the problem goes away. If so turn on one thing at a time until you find the culprit.
Hope that puts you in the right direction.

Have tried that. When I go there nothing is synching. Strange.
I have tried to remove all accounts from synch but still see the problem.
Went into recovery and wiped the cache about a hour ago. So far so good. Hope it stays this way.

I've noticed that there are apps that as soon as i download them, and open them that my cpu will go to 100% until I reboot my phone. System panel is a good app that isn't too obtrusive that will tell you exactly what app is doing what.
Have you installed anything new lately?
I uninstalled everything new.
Moreover I think every time this happens the battery is less than 30%. Maybe in low battery profile there are some apps which are over utilizing the CPU.

There's a couple threads like this. The stock Rom seems to have issues running rooted. Best bet would be to flash a different rom

Turn on USB Debugging... See if that does anything

@NicGraner: Why would the stock ROM have problems with being rooted?
I am still having this problem. Uninstalled everything that is not important.
The phone just becomes unusable and I have to reboot. Un-installed Watchdog Lite too, as I thought since it is monitoring, it is taking up some CPU in background too.
No widgets on the home screens.
I guess I am gonna do a full refresh using the PDxxx.zip and go back to stock stock and then see what happens. not sure if I will lose my root once I do that.
Try the royal glacier rom it's solid stable and the sh!t
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/stop-t-mobile-from-being-bought-by-att/.......
I returned 5 phones for this exact problem, then I finally got one where the usb debugging trick actually worked. Before that I was just using OSmonitor from the market to see when I was hitting 100% then I would have to yank the battery as that was the only thing that would make it stop.
When I got this new phone I installed os monitor and waited for it to happen again, which it did, then I turned on usb debugging and watched my cpu usage graph drop to 0%. SUCCESS! Unfortunately since this was my 6th phone this solution seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
I did a lot of poking around on google trying to fix this and found a lot of people with different results. Try disabling t mobile sync and go to the myaccount app in the market and uninstall the updates. If that doesn't work try getting a new sim card and sd card, or just keep returning phones until t mobile offers to send you a g2x...
Also if you search around you'll see that this isn't just a problem with the mt4g. I found multiple threads where this happens on the nexus one, and several galaxy s phones. I really hope google is aware of this.

@johnsmith970: Thanks for the info. I will try calling TMO tonight and see what they say.
I am really bugged by this now. The phone gets totally unusable once this happens.
They will say to do a factory reset. Every tech support person I talked to told me to do that. This didn't solve the problem for me at all. It still exhibited the same symptoms on a fresh reset and not even signed in to google.
I would advise calling htc support just to let them know you are having this problem. Sending back a half a dozen phones per customer can't be good for anyones wallet or their peace of mind.

I have no idea why the stock rom doesn't like being rooted it's just what's been said and the solution which is most widely given (and mostly worked unless theres an underlying problem) is to flash a custom rom.
OK! I have more information for anyone interested.
I am tracking processes now in OS Monitor app from Market.
Most of the times it is the bluetooth daemon (bluetoothd) that goes bonkers. I was connected to my GPS in my car while driving, and when I came out of the car...the bluetoothd is going bonkers...looks like it may be trying to 'find' the device it was connected to. At the same time logcat2 process is also utilizing 30+% of the CPU.
I turned off Bluetooth and both the processes went away
So let me see if this sticks for couple of days.
Thanks

I wasn't even rooted.
If you want to keep stock rom this is what I did and its absolutely solid.
Install this stock rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042586
After installing this rom flash faux123 first time kernel. After its all booted up reboot back into recovery and flash faux123 cfs rc3 kernel. I have my cpu set at 1200mhz and everything is gravy.

Anyone else having this? The time on my phone is reading incorrect by about 10 mins. I am using the stock clock widget and under settings it is set to use network determined time or somethingike that.
Any ideas?

Try selecting your city and country, i it desnt work you should probably just do a factory reset.
or just set the time manually...why HR just for that ffs?
I'm using ClockSync from the Play Store.

I have got the same problem. Over the day the time gets an offset of around 3 seconds. After I had it on the charger over night (and ONLY if it was on the charger) the time of the phone is over 10 minutes behind the real time. I already disabled using the network time etc. but nothing helped. I don't think that this is a hardware failure.
I've got the same problem. Last night even my manually set time changed. Really strange.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
same problem here - seems to be related to charging over night, going to test.
any apps that have recently been updated that have permission to change time?
have tried rolling back google movies, will see if that helps.
also i would be interested to know if everyone is o2 (i am) - might be a problem with one of the o2 bloatware apps?
what seems to have sorted mine (for the time being) is just restarting the phone, very odd but seems ok at the moment

Network time also gives me an instant offset of ~10 min
I will try the manual setting, and see how that goes.
Might give a try at ClockSync, mentioned above.
Same problem here. I can adjust the clock, but whether I use the network time or not, after a few hours to a few days it's lagging behind by about 10 minutes. It's quite annoying.

Thanks, I'll try that.
Automatic sync with that app needs root, I don't plan on rooting just yet - will probably make use of the warranty replacement because of the arc oxidation issue. Maybe the clock will work in the replacement.
no progress for me here, what an annoying bug.
reboot sets the time correct again but that's no fix!
following these steps it looks to me like a network time issue:
1. wake up with the clock 12mins slow
2. go into time settings and untick network time
3. set the correct time
4. retick network time and the clock jumps back to being wrong again
would really appreciate if anyone's got a clue on a fix
I've contacted HTC, they escalated it, I'll will forward their answer once I get it.

Hi all! Also had this bug, until checked all boxes in Date&Time settings. Try to make all automatic. For me it solved problem.

this is really strange - been staying at my girlfriends for a couple of weeks and not had this problem. so unless it a location problem (10mins walk), the only difference is ive been using a different charger overnight (htc vs kindle)
determined to figure this out
HTC told me that the update should help. For my part, it works now, although already before the update.

doing the ota update now, was holding off but might as well try it.
hope it fixes
hi guys, any luck on the time issue? by girlfriend's phone is experiencing the same issue of being 10 minutes off

Not sure why but at night it seems my one s data shuts completely off and when I turn the screen on it it shows a triangle and no 4g icon. When I check what the triangle is it is a warning telling me data is disabled.
After a couple seconds it comes on and emails are synced and notifications come in. Not sure what is causing this but it is annoying. It happens while plugged in or not. I have not found any settings that are power related and I run no software to control data in this way. Does anyone else have this issue?

Does it happen late at night? Do you have always-on mobile data turned on?

Mine did that when it was stock, every night just after 12:00pm data would switch off, I also looked around settings but found nothing, i'm sure its some sort of power saving feature..
Rooting and custom rom seems to be the only way to stop this.
It is called "smart sync" and it is a piece of crap from HTC. It turns off data between 0:00 and 7:00. Try smart sync disabler from Google Play as a workaround. Unless you're using something different than stock rom, you have to live with it (using smart sync disabler).
I'm stock, unrooted and have never ever lost data.

Yep, use the xda user application from the app store and it will solve your problem!

PM the developer of the app on XDA.
I tried this but he does not answer since a few days.
Yes it seems like midnight and randomly during the night. Really is stupid as almost everyone keeps these power hungry phones plugged in at night.
So far this is the only phone I have not rooted yet. I wanted to wait for devs to get rolling.
I will give this app a try and report back.
Thank you! This was really frustrating me. Emails and Google chat would not work and missed things due to no data till the morning. Maybe HTC should change it to cut to edge if its that important that way stuff keeps in sync.

Well I donated for the app and it seems to have worked. The test will be tonight too. So far so good.

HTC Desire Mobile Data Issues
My HTC Desire is around 4 years old and has begun doing some crazy things.
It is stock, unrooted but has an update.
Android 2.3.3
Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g3f43272
Build Number: 3.14.405.1
Issues:
1. So when I'm typing with the keyboard, the keyboard would randomly close, and I'd have to open it up again to continue typing. I do not get an error message or anything, it just disappears in mid type.
2. When I remove the battery for just a second or 2, the clock and date settings go to 2am and 1 January 1980. Surely there is an onboard battery that keeps the date/time settings current? But the other crazy thing is tht iven if the phone is connected to mobile data or the wifi to sync the date and time, it doesn't, I have to reset it manually.
3. The mobile data will randomly turn off. I use my phone as a mobile hot spot and it is very annoying when the mobile data randomly turns off.
Does anyone have any solutions for these?
I've had wifi issues since I purchased my htc one x for AT&T in may. I have had the hone replaced and the issue was never resolved and I'm kid of fed up with it for the fact that everyone I know who has an android device other then a one x don't have these issues. Issue seems to be Interment but happens a lot actually all the time.
Basically my issue is I have wifi turned on sometimes I lose connection.i notice this due to delayed alerts at times and when I'm using the phone such as on the play store, Facebook or any app that uses the I telnet every once in a while ill get a connection loss message and have to wait for the Internet to come back, usually comes back quick but still very annoying. Another ways can tel is when the phone is in sleep mode is when it happens the most. For example ill unlock the screen at times then all of a sudden I receive all my alerts such as gmail, google talk and any other alert that never came through b c of loss of connection. I also notice a lot when I open google talk right after I unlock my screen that it says I'm offline, then after a few I see it come online and if I had any google talk messages they then come through. I also see the time stamps when this happens, like emails come in and google talk messages and they can be anywhere from like 2-15 mins delayed at times.
I have also performed various of tests when the phone is asleep and I s end myself an email or google talk message and it does not come in until I unlock the phone. FYI this is Interment does not happen all the time but happens very often.
Are you guys still having issues with wifi ? Will getting a replacement possibly resolve the issue or sis this a known issue that cannot be fixed? I love the phone but sick and tire of not receiving all my alerts in real time. This is the first android phone with this type of issue and so frustrated.
Have you checked your wifi settings to make sure it's staying connected while the phone is asleep?

Yes of course checked all bases including forums for the last couple of months. Please note as per my op even when I'm using the phone sometimes I get lost connection errors even while using the Facebook app etc like google play store and other apps. So although while asleep seems to happen the most it also happens during normal use.
This is a known issue with many HTC phones. Even if you have WiFi to never sleep, when your display turns off the WiFi goes into some sort of battery saver mode. It doesn't turn off completely so you get your alerts eventually. I have not found a working solution short of flashing a custom Rom. HTC knows about this but hasn't fixed it. They think it is working as it should...

Thanks for clarifying this for me. If you flash a rom like for example cm10 or other rooms it can resolve this issue? Funny bc if wifi is shut off on just data works good, but the whole point is to use wifi as much as possible since I only have 3gb limited. I was thinking of upgrading to a one x+ but I'm afraid it will have the same issue as the normal, one x. This makes me want to go with a different company such as Samsung etc.. Anyways thanks for your help.
Alright guys, I've pretty much had it with this phone and AT&T. This is the 4th issue I've had on my phone. Basically, my battery dies within 3 hours no matter what I do. I turned off all connectivity in class this morning and put it in my pocket at 90%, 2 hours later it was at 29% with "Google Services" as the main cause of the drain. I thought it was weird because my internet was still off. This is my third One XL due to numerous problems in the hardware, at this point I just want a totally different phone which I know they'll offer me. But I'd rather get a Nexus 4 or try to hold out for the Nexus 5. Any ideas on what I can do to maybe temporarily fix it until October?

Is this phone bootloader unlocked/rooted? are you using a custom ROM? If so, which one?
If it is unlocked/rooted, also please indicate if your phone is S-ON or S-OFF

Thanks! I'll let my phone recharge up and try to replicate the issue to see what's causing it and I'll see where to go from there.
Try uninstalling all your apps, keeping only the necessities. If you went through 3 phones already, the problem is probably you, not the phone itself.
I get this sometimes, I usually fix it by uninstalling updates to play store and deleting app data from play services and play store and the app that battery usage says is the problem. Then reboot.
There's probably an easier way to fix it but I haven't found it.

I would ruu. And install gsam right away. Then I would monitor battery drain over a day or two. If gsam reports no wakelocks but it keeps draining quickly, it's a hardware issue. If it's not draining quickly any more, install a few apps a day until you find the draining culprit.

Apparently there was an error with sync that kept my phone awake while it tried to finish it. A reboot and refreshing the sync seems to have done the trick. Thanks guys! I'm still jumping ship when/if the nexus 5 is released.
