Hey guys so I have a Infuse 4g running Aeon Rom v1.4 and I have to say I love how fluid it is. My only problem is that my phone will randomly lock up become unresponsive and the screen will shut off and the phone will turn off and not turn on for about ten seconds. It usually happens when im using the music player app and using the internet while doing so. Sometimes it will lockup while opening an app. It will hang there at the black screen until the app loads up which sometimes takes longer than it usually does. Sometimes it will go really slow and move choppy instead of fluid like it usually does. Anyone know how I can fix this? Also sometimes when im listening to music and opening a browser window it will stay at a grey screen for a few moments before opening the page. My phone is rooted and I unlocked it with the SGS unlocker tool PRO version. Thanks in advance for any advice I might receive about these problems.

Two things that that reminds me of: Overclocking and or undervolting. Have you done either of those? The browser window thing could just the CPU showing its age. It is a single core processor, so it does have to switch back and forth between tasks. Do you have the issue with the browser when not listening to music?

Has anyone else experienced a stutter in music when playing music with Nitrogen and then turning the screen off? It plays fine normally with the screen on but when ever switching it off it tends to skip frequently.

Hi thanks for the reply, however that is not the problem. When using that "screen switch off button", the music does indeed not stop but it tends to skip and jump, almost as if I was running loads of applications and it was struggling to find the resources to play properly. I don't have anything else running and so this isn't the case. Im thinking it may perhaps be an issue with the custom rom Im using as the manila tab music player doesnt work properly either, guess I should try flash a different rom and see!
I too have this problem - I have the custom O2 ROM. It got so annoying that I reverted to using the Windows music player, which does not share the issue.

its a strange one isn't it. On my Touch Pro 2, scrolling through the list of songs used to be jittery like it wasn't fast enough to handle it, on the HD2, scrolling is fine but suffers the music playback problem, strange!
Whenever I unlock my phone, the screen shows the lock screen for about 0,1 seconds and then shows glimpse of what was on the screen before I locked the phone before displaying the lock screen again. Incredibly annoying. I can't recall if I had this problem before I upgraded to Mango. Help!
i have similliar issue on my omnia 7:
so, i figured out, when that locksreen lag is happening. if you have mini player shown, when you press volume buttons, that means there will be no lockscreen lag, and everything will be like it should.
but, if you go and play a video, and then go back to homescreen, there will be no mini player shown, when you press the volume button, and if you then turn off the screen, and then on again, the clock and calendar will display with some lag (about half a second). this will continue to happen until the next time you run audio player. then, if there is mini player in the dropdown volume menu, there will be no more lag in the lockscreen.
please, try this and see if this will happen to you too. i know it's a small bug, but it's really annoying!

The mini player seems to make no difference at all. The problem doesn't go away.
weird..
i had this problem with later builds of mango, and now this solution seems to have fixed it..but it is still kind of annoying knowing that i have to have the miniplayer active to get rid of it..did they not see this when they were readying the final build? this really is kind of inexcusable in my opinion. they were saying how there are hundreds of new features, and yet theres something small like this that managed to get through? i dont recall ever having this problem on NoDo.
I have the same problem on my HTC HD7 (unlocked) with Mango forced.
Nothing works. There's no difference in having an active Zune-Player or not.
this may not explain all screen issues, but it may explain the issue of the screen freezing and also the issue of it reacting on its own. i believe that this screen is highly sensitive. my current theory is that dirtiness and dullness cause screen lag. this can result in freezing, but i think more commonly what happens is for it to cause a delay in the screens responsiveness. so lets say you touch the screen and it doesnt respond right away. so you tap the screen again, and it does respond. but maybe its responding to the first time you touched it, and then you exit out of that screen or do something else, and forget that you touched the screen again. but the phone remembers and responds, and the phone does something odd, seemingly on its own. now remember this is just a theory of mine, and i am no expert on touchscreens. it just occurred to me that this could be a possibility, because i cleaned my screen really good and the screen seemed a good bit more responsive than usual. feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on this.
There are times when a greasy/wet touchscreen will misbehave, but I think the majority of our touchscreen problems stem from a buggy driver which tends to crash during low memory conditions.
yea i definitely think its just a buggy phone. wish it was as simple as keeping it clean, but i have these problems even when clean sometimes. its not a deal breaker though, at least not for me.
i just wish we could have custom lock screens or AOSP lock screen that wouldn't break the damn auto-rotate.
i know this is a different subject than my op, but i have a question. i converted several apps to system apps. two browsers, opera mobile and dolphin mini, dolphin to replace my stock browser and opera for desktop browsing, as well as a volume control app and a few others. i use an app called optimize android toolbox to clean my cache. before converting these apps to system, they all stored a cache. now, opera and dolphin dont. the volume control app still does though. i dont think its a problem, it just perplexes me. any possible explanation for this?

Ayoteddy got us the aosp lock and the puzzle lock, using it right now no prob.
sent from my....WAIT THIS ISNT MY PHONE?
When it's cold mine never responds.
I put a screen protector on my phone and I haven't had any touch screen problems since. Might just be a coincidence, though.
before i got this phone, i read a review that said only one android phone has a more functional lock screen than the sidekick. of course, that statement is based on phones with stock roms, but still, thats definitely saying something. i like the stock lockscreen a lot. i like the media room lockscreen widget. tried other music players with lockscreen widgets, but they take up the whole screen. then you have to exit the widget to unlock the screen. plus you can slide down to unlock or slide up to launch an app. thats pretty tight.
I'm not saying the stock lock screen isn't clever. It's really is quite cool... when it works.
So often I've had to struggle to unlock the phone because the screen was lagging badly. Or the home screen has come up for a second before the lock screen. This is especially a problem when text messages come in, and often result in my phone doing crazy crap in my pocket. Next time I pull it out I discover that it's gone to CNN, changed my brightness, turned on bluetooth, etc.
Received this phone (THL W8S) 5 days ago, and straight out of the box it has had a serious issue where the phone will lock up, the screen will fade slowly to black, and then reboot itself. The problem occurs both after factory resetting AND in safe mode.
The phone is unrooted and running the stock ROM.
Basically during use, the screen suddenly becomes unresponsive to touch and the physical buttons (home, volume, power) all stop functioning. As soon as the phone locks up this way, the screen slowly fades to black over about 60 seconds, at which point I have to leave it to fade completely before it reboots itself.
It happens most frequently when using any browser (stock, or otherwise) taking from less than 5 seconds to around 5min before the random lock up occurs) but also happens when scrolling through messages; scrolling through emails in either of the stock apps; using a compass app which came pre-installed (very quickly).
Initially I thought it might have to do with WiFi, but problem also cropped up with WiFi off, using 2/3G. Then in troubleshooting also managed to get it to happen using the camera (lot of motion, and repeatedly taking snaps).
Also odd is that the batteries I received in the box were generic black ones, not the official stamped/logo'ed THL ones I've seen on every website and every unboxing of this particular phone. So while there's a possibility this may be a battery issue, the fact that the phone hasn't done this while using a more battery draining app (Beach Buggy Blitz; Rayman Jungle Run) makes me think this is a deeper hardware fault related to , although I don't know enough about voltages and such to rule it out completely.
I have a couple videos showing the problem, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to put the links here. Should both be easily found by searching:

Any thoughts/views would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I wanted to inform you that lately the reboot occur concurrently with application updates.
They are like your impressions.
Best regards
THL W8S the screen fade and reboot too!!
Hello!
I received the phone on 12 September. The screen faded from the first minutes of use. Yesterday I came three times. In "THL mobile store" recommend updating the firmware. But the update I have not found anywhere.
any suggestions
Thank you very much in advance.
Any one else seing a major performance drop after the update? Almost every app now loads 3 times as slow if it doesnt crash out and have to force close. Youtube videos get verry laggy and hang sometimes for 10 to 20 seconds before the app plays catchup and throws all frames in from time it got stuck to current play time in the video. Also screen off gps is nonexistent. I use geofencing in smartthings and it worked flawlessly before. Also smartthings app notifications will not show up until the screen is on. Ive set it to ignore data and battery with no luck. I have wiped the phone in fastboot and reapplied the update in uppercut. Still the same issues. Surely I'm not the only one. Maybe I'm the only one still hanging in to this phone these days. ?
Nope, quite the opposite, the phone feels noticeably faster and smoother after the update.
edit: Nvm, I'm not on T-Mobile.
