In need of some help - General Questions and Answers

This has been an ongoing problem for... oh pretty much as long as I can remember. Every time I plug my phone in, the screen stays on. I've dealt with it, I've created a Tasker profile to take care of it... but it's just gone on long enough. I have no clue what mod I flashed to create the problem, but it's high time I figured it out.
The problem? I have no idea how to read a logcat or what I'm looking for. I've also tried attempting to figure it out via BetterBatteryStats (wake locks and what not), but still don't really know what I'm looking at.
Below is a logcat. I cleared it, then plugged in, then let it sit for 5 seconds and promptly dumped the logcat to a file. If anyone could help me figure this out, I'd be greatly eternal!
If there is anything else I need to do to help you help me, let me know. Thanks guys.

Are you saying that every time you plug your phone in to a USB to charge it, the screen stays on?
Really stupid question, but you don't have "Stay Awake" enabled under your Development options do you?

Hope you're ready for a really stupid answer... Iiiii'm dumb...
oh my ****ing god.... I can't believe I missed that.... I don't remember ever turning that on.
I really want to delete everything about this thread so I don't have to be reminded of how stupid I can be sometimes... Maybe someone else will learn from it...
Thanks man. I appreciate the help.

As it turns out, the option keeps getting enabled every time I reboot. No clue how to fix that. any ideas?

I presume that you must be running a custom ROM. Have you fixed the permissions in recovery - maybe one of the files is set to read-only, so you can change the setting, but it isn't saved? Failing that it might be worth asking on your device forum to see if anyone there has an idea.

Tried fixing permissions already. No dice. All the research I've done points me no where. Either people don't notice it's happening or it's only happening to me. The closest I could find is a bunch of people saying that they are having a problem actually keeping the phone awake when plugged in. Quite the opposite of my issue.
I would have posted this in the inspire forum originally, but it seemed like it could be a universal thing (common file in Android). I'll post it in inspire forum anyways. Maybe a dev knows where the setting is kept in the system and can point me in the right direction.
Until then, I've set Tasker to change the setting upon boot, which is way better than what I had it doing before lol.
Thanks for the help, though.

Text message notification problem

hello everyone,
this is pertaining to the ATT tilt
i did several searches on here about my problem.------ first off the problem is, when i receive a new text the phone notifies me by the corresponding tone that i have assigned to it, (like its suppose too) but after like 5-10 msg's the phone fails to sound. later i may go to the phone and see that i have like 5 unread msgs that never sounded when received.
Now back to the searches, the only thing i found were phone wont vibrate or receiving a msg it displays the wrong time and so on.
so if i over looked where this was covered i apologize in advance, i know how irritating it is to have to re answer the same questions over again. so please if anyone knows of a fix for this or who have had the same problem please let me know.
oh before i forget i also called att thinking that maybe the phone was defective, well to find out if it is theres nothing they can do cuz the phone is now discontinued.
Thanks everyone in advance

I'm sorry I have no solution, but I can tell you I'm experiencing the very same issue on my Xperia X1. I've been searching to no avail as to how to fix it but I've come to understand anyone experiencing the lost vibration on SMS has found it was due to different apps they have installed. I, too, have noticed the time stamp on incoming SMS to be off (by 5 hours).
This, at least, helps confirm it's not your phone being defective, just software.
If you have fixed this since this post, please share your solution.
Thanks!
thank you for responding. im glad to know im not the only one with the problem. i was starting to wonder if anyone would reply. im very greatful. well i haven't found a fix or done anything that i know of, but it seems that the phone has fixed its self. funny i know and ive glad that it did. funny thing about it is that i actually called at&t about the issue, seeing if anyone has ever called in regarding this. the rep told me that if its anything like her phone, it wont sound after recieving a new text if she already has one that is UNREAD. i tried to explain to her that it was failing to sound even after reading all UNREAD msgs in my in box, and then receiving a new one. but i dont think she fully understood me. so now i make sure that i read my msgs as soon as they come in. try that if ur not already. my phone has not messed up on me for close to 2 weeks now. KNOCK ON WOOD. hope this helps you in any way.

Having an issue rooting with SuperOneClick

I've searched the forums and, unless I'm a really ****ty at the 'search' function(which is entirely possible), it seems as if I'm the only one having this problem. When I click the 'Root' button the application just freezes. The same thing happens even if I unplug my phone entirely from the computer. Anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks.
bump. is this a lost cause?
last bump, i guess im just going to give up on rooting if no on responds ;[.

[Q] Volume decreases on unlock?

Something similar (as in not exactly) posted in the Desire forums, but with no answers so I'm posting here too.
Every now and then when I unlock the phone, the volume will go from where ever it's set at when I unlock down to vibrate without me doing anything. I turn it back up without a problem, but it's kind of annoying. Anyone else have anything like this happening or any idea as to why?
Thanks in advance.

By chance, do you have the option in the Sound menu called "Quiet ring on pickup" checked?
I unchecked it. I don't think that's the problem because it doesn't happen when I have incoming calls, but we'll see. Thanks!
I had the same.issue. i re rooted and everything works now. Dont know if this helps but g/l anyway

I have this problem too. The volume gets quiet for no reason, and then "levels" back up. Would like to know what's causing this. I'm running CM7.
Just wondering if this was resolved

How to install init to fix froyo freeze ?

hello xda members
i have install froyo fx06 bundle here
my problem is sometimes the phone freeze. i read the entire post to find the solution to fixed that. then i found the only solution is to install init at here . can someone make a tutorial how to install that. i mean the step by step tutorial.
Have you any idea as to how to use ADB or terminal? If you do, then you are pretty much done, with the exception of executing those commands in that post. If not, you'll have to wait till it gets committed like the rest of us Or just wait till someone that does know, comes across your thread! That thread is mainly there for people who know how to do this already.

i don't know how to use ADB or terminal. actually this is my first time heard that. hehe
Some say it isn't that difficult while others have a difficult time trying to understand English, much less speak/type it(like myself ). If you feel up to it, you can start by reading HERE. Unless someone else has this simplified elsewhere. If that were the case and I knew of it, I woldn't be pointing you in this direction.
Thank you for trying to help me.

and i think it's not because flax cable because this problem only happen when i use froyo fx06.
Honestly, I've never had any real problems with FroYo freezing on boot. Just the SoD issue due to partial panel collapse. Supposedly, that (modified rootfs) only fixes the freezing on boot issue. Unfortunately, there is no way I can reproduce the issue you are experiencing on my end to help troubleshoot. Some blame it on the operator/service provider and others think it's the build itself. As for me, well I'm not sure what to think because it doesn't seem to affect me much. Have you tried Gingerbread yet? Might be something to play around with till the issue gets fixed.

Thank you for trying to help me. actually i have try to set my phone in airplane mode to test if the problem because operator/service provider , but the problem still the same. it's not freeze because i still can fell it vibrate when i touch the screen only the display not show up.
about gingerbread. i have read that gingerbread is android 2.3 and froyo is 2.2 right? but why many people like to use froyo then gingerbread? if gingerbread have any problem. sorry if i asking to many question.
I'm not 100% on this but I think it has something to do with the fact that the porting is still in alpha phase for our devices. If anything, this can be looked at as good or bad. Good, that we have gotten this far and it seems our devices are pretty much stable. Bad, that this might be as good as it gets for a while. You have to weight the options of a faster port(in terms of stability) but less complete(in terms of functionality) or a more complete port but not quite as fast. I remember when we first got FroYo, it seemed like a complete mess. It took till the third release (FRX03) for stability to take place(noticable) because the devs were trying to figure out what caused the instability. When it's all said and done, the end user experience is all that most are looking for. When this is the case, it's difficult to say what should be done. Wait till it becomes more stable or try to come up with work arounds. Troubleshooting can get you so far until you require more understanding of what affects what. Hopefully, I have bored you out of your mind and that this makes things clearer as to what you can do to help!
thank you for your kind to help me. i have change to gingerbread but it have same problem like froyo. then i tried to hard reset then reinstall froyo and change the kernel. now it working great without problem except camera not working . maybe because i change the kernel htc-msm-linux-20110214_200559-package.tar . but it's ok for me. i will wait till new release.
You must have the similar issues some others have (on foreign carriers/other than USA based) Now, I'm not saying this is the problem just that others that have a similar issue, are on those carriers. There have been updated kernel packages that include the camera fix but I would suggest a little more reading into what you need to do, to ensure that you aren't causing the issue you are experiencing now.

Random reboot during youtube use.

So, I've been having issues with getting reboots. Usually during the night when using the phone to play during sleep. I've had Oneplus reinstall the rom, I've reinstalled it, started from scratch, but every night it still reboots. Youtube is the only thing that I can think of. I'm just trying to see if anyone else has had issues like this. Oneplus is probably going to have me pull logs and see what's going on.

Using that, it's software, like I figured. Just wish I could get logs and someone who understands them to help figure out what I need to do to stop it.

It does pass. However I am not sure how to pull the logs from the 6. I would really appreciate the help, as this is an annoying issue. Feel free to message me if you like.
I have a similar problem as well.
On Stock rom:
Stable with no reboot or freeze. Battery drains very fast though. 50% with screen off overnight.
On Stock room with any custom kernel (Smurf, Franco, ElementalX):
Phone periodically reboots. Not sure where to get reboot logs. When I check logcat, can see many errors pertaining to lights and memory not able to free up. Not sure if it's wifi related or not. When phone is plugged in, it does NOT REBOOT
On any custom roms (AOSPEx, Havoc, LOS etc):
Phone freezes with white LED. Happens usually within 10 minutes with screen off. After troubleshooting, turns out WiFi causes the issue. With WiFi off, phone is stable for as much as 12 hours and more. Battery is excellent. When phone is plugged in, it does NOT FREEZE even with WiFi on.
Not sure why WiFi is causing issue for all the custom ROMs I tested out there.
Currently I'm using stock rom and manually debloated and with Magisk.
If anyone has a clue on the freezing issue with customer rom is much appreciated.
