Hi everyone,
I'm having overheating issues with the custom ROMs put up in the forums here. It's really frustrating because I love the interface but I can crashes and overheats pretty often.
I was running a rooted i727r with official ICS, I used ROM manager to flash to paranoid android ICS and JB, I also tried liquified (I think that;s what it's called) and everything runs great except I sometimes get overheating (up to 45 degrees celcius) at which point the phone just shuts itself off. And the worst part is that the battery gets super drained when that happens. I have done nothing to trigger and has happened when it was in my hand as well as in my pockets when in sleep mode.
I don't want to run official ICS, so if there is a solution, I'd be really grateful!
Also on an unrelated note, I can't get swype to work on these custom roms, does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!
Use clockwork mod or twrp to flash and if you haven't yet, try your roms with the stock kernel.
Don't use rom manager and do some reading.

I tried using the CWM, it didn't help. Which version should I have? I was getting the same problem. I wiped everything twice as instructed too.

I tried, but was getting the same problem. I'm glad to read but I don't know where or what to look for. I'll take any advice you may have
Well the stickys AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE would be a start

ROM Manager can and will brick your phone if you use it to flash ROMs on a Skyrocket. Read up and learn before doing things like that.
Stay on stock rooted and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, switch to a TW-based ROM and use the stock kernel. If your phone is still cool, then move with caution into AOSP territory (which seems to be where you want to go) and consider UC'ing/UV'ing AFTER you've read up on them and understand the possible side effects.
my phone gets hot sometimes, but usually when i'm browsing for a while. doesn't seem to be overly hot though but definitely hot to the touch

I don't mean to sound defensive, but I've read all the stickies...they tell me how to do things, not WHY to do things (kinda like a recipe book). I might be ignorant in the technicalities, but I know my way around following instructions. Telling me to just READ is not helping me, telling me WHAT to read or WHERE to go is better, and I'll be glad to read.
I took your many advices and flashed back to the semi-official ICS using the CWM recovery. The overheating and crashing problems are no longer happening, at least not during all of today which is a good sign in my eye. I still don't have an indication why it wasn't working when I used to the ROMs provided in the development section. I follow the instructions to the tee and I still had the problem (even when I used the CWM instead of ROM manager pro).
I was having severe heating probs. I never let it get so hot that it autoshutdown but I'd do it manually. I found that there was a serious wakelock happening and even while awake media scanner was going nuts. On it's own it just chewed up the battery but combine a high useage app with media scanner and the phone got hot. I ended up doing a stock rom install via Odin, reformatting my ex sd card. It's been good ever since. You haven't been using Zedge by any chance??

No it wasn't installed because I loved the roms built in ringtones but I did notice that it was taking longer than usual to read the media from the external sd card...do you think it had something to do with that?

Could be. Try pulling everything off your sd card and put on your pc. Format the card and put everything back on.

It is the Media card...a couple of my friends have had the overheating issues on their devices. I would suggest formatting the media card on the PC as previously stated. If that fails then try another SD card since it could just be the SD card.
Thank you all, I will give this a try and report back!

To solve media scanner consume battery during phone start .... Disable media storage via startup manager app and rescan media using f5 media scanner app... Download both from play store.... Help save alot of juice

Please press thanks if helped
I will opt to say that it might be more related to how you are using the phone.
I've ran plenty of custom roms even OC to 1.9ghz but the phone will get hot no matter what with heavy wifi usage or talking I must say.
With that said, the custom rom will most likely not help unless you aim for roms that aim for that kind of purpose.
Others may beg to differ but that's my 2centz.
Alright, so I did what some of you said and disabled the media storage at start up. The crashes and overheating are fixed! But, now I can't see my pictures that I stopped in the external sd card when I'm browsing for them through my files or through the gallery. I can, however, see them through third party file browsers. It's there a way that I can at least see them them in my gallery? I tried f5 but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance

My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.
Any ideas ? I dont really want to flash a custom ROM as I use the wifi calling feature and no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that into the custom ROM's out there plus the external SD card ID seems to get lost with the Blaze custom ROM's too.
What do you mean by the external card SD card ID? The external cards works flawlessly in the custom roms. And that's very rude saying, "no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that (wifi calling) into the custom ROM's," The devs have lots of things into their hands, if you need it so much why don't you figure it out?
The only way to actually wipe the battery stats is with cwm. You can flash cwm with Odin and not touch the rom. Also custom roms based off stock ics have working wifi calling.
But I think the issue may be with your phone, so wiping battery stats/flashing a rom will probably not work, I have seen this on a different devices.

Ive flashed half a dozen ROM's on this phone, my sons phone and my wifes phone. None of them gave normal access to the external SD card. I could play music off them and movies etc but none of the file access programs would open the SD card file directory. Ive seen other people complain about that too. .Ended up going back to the factory ROM to be able to have normal external SD access and to be able to use the wifi calling.
And no, no one has developed a ROM that can use the wifi calling feature. Seems like one of the first things that would get cloned but whatever. I'm just a mechanical engineer not a software developer so writing my own code is beside my pay grade. Only reason I bought these phones in the first place was the integral wifi calling. Not the greatest phones either. My sons drops wifi after 15 minutes every time. Mine won't show a full charge on a full charge and then wigs out at the bottom of its charge cycle. I'll be using them in the trap launcher in 11 months once the contract is up. Pull.

Could you recommend a stable ROM that has the working wifi calling feature? None that I have tried would allow for wifi calling. I gave up trying a few months ago when the factory ICS came out and my CWM got blown away by Kies. Of course my new laptop is windows 8 which isnt playing well with Odin. Gives me a reason to boot my son of my old win 7 desktop. He spends too much time on those computer games anyway.

Got nothing to lose so lets try yet another ROM. I couldnt find a copy of blaz3r . seems as though the link is dead. I did reroot the phone and get tweaked installed. Its going through start up now. We will see how it performs. Thanks
Well, that didnt work. The meters stuck at 77% yet actually fully charged. I do like the tethering and hot spot capabilities of the new ROM though.
Ok I suggest flashing a jellybean rom. And for the external sd card issue you've had it's under storage and sdcard1. Try it it's going to work. It's not inside external sd in sd card. I recommend using root explorer going storage/sdcard1

The external card access didnt work with CM10 and a few other jelly bean ROM's Ive tried. Yes, I tried all sorts of ways to access it through file explorer programs.
As far as charging, the factory ICS ROM was working fine until a few weeks ago. My wife and sons blazes work fine with the factory ICS ROM.

No go on the jelly bean. Same thing. Charges to 75 % or so and the battery dies completely within 4-5 hours. Called up T-mobile and I'm 1 day past the warranty period. Oh joy.

The external and internal sdcards work in every JB ROM that's currently available on xda for the blaze. The reason you can't find them is user error, not the ROM. Solid Explorer makes it really easy, but if you just want the file path to both its /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd
Try 'su cd /mnt' and then 'ls' in the terminal emulator or with adb shell and they'll show up. Then you just have to learn how to use your file explorer software of choice.

changed everything a few times including the battery. Most it will get out of any battery under any condition is about 3 hours. Thats with zero programs running and no use or screen activation. Most any battery will charge to is 75% and they start dropping like a stone once charged. Right now it just stays on the charger as my garage music player.

Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.

I have been testing ROMs on my SD card using _that's method from here as well as the built in ROM2SD install from the CROMI-X installer.
Everything was working great using CM10.2 until a few days ago when my TF700 became unresponsive after 5-10 minutes whenever I was running on the SD card mounted ROM. (It had been working fine for about a week of steady use). When it becomes unresponsive, it doesn't register any screen touches nor do any hardware keys work. The only way to recover is with a hard reset (holding the power button for a while even though pressing once has no effect). Decided to see if it was something related to CM10.2 so I reformatted the SD card and installed CROMI-X to the SD card using the CROMI-X installer... used it for a little bit and got the same problem.
I'm back to using the internal ROM and have no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a problem with the SD card itself (I'm using gparted to format and the card appears to function normally in other devices...)? I don't think it's a kernel issue as I'm using _that-v7 both internally and on the SD ROM (either through the CROMI-X installer or with the modified rom2sd2.zip from _that's dual boot thread).
Anyways, any advice or theories would be appreciated. I'd post in the original dual-boot thread but as a serial lurker/flasher I don't have enough posts to participate in the dev thread.
I could have written your post....
I had EXACTLY the same setup, progression and result.
No idea for a solution though.... But doesn't it feel good not to be alone?
You'll need to provide a logcat for a proper diagnosis otherwise we are guessing
But my guess will be your sdcard is not up to the task. What type of card is it?

Maybe. The microSD interface in the TF700 is known to be unreliable, at least in combination with certain cards. It was even worse with old ICS kernels.

I have what everybody else has: Scandisk Ultra class 10 formatted with Gparted.
I think I have the last installation still on the card. I'll give it a shot and try to capture a logcat, but that could be a looooooong logcat - if I remember correctly both CM and CROMi-X ran fine for a few days and then froze without warning. Not much fun using the tablet with a computer attached to it

I'm also using a 32GB SanDisk ultra UHS Class 1 (the red and grey one) formatted with gparted.
As for the logcat, I haven't been able to get my tablet working over adb since I moved to windows 8.1 but I will be messing around with that today so hopefully I'll have something later.

adb works fine in Windows 8.1. Use these drivers here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834442
Ok, got adb up and running. The full logcat is attached. I used the most verbose logging and the last responsive thing I was able to do was go into settings and attempt to keep wifi on in the low power settings (this occurs at 11:12:34.489 in the log). The tablet obviously saves this setting however the screen fails to update or register input after this point and actually continues to highlight the check box for that setting option as if I was continually touching it. I let the tablet run for a while to see if it was just laggy, but it failed to respond for over ten minutes... Anyways, let me know what you think and I'll be happy to test any theories.
(as a side note, you'll probably notice my wifi continually disconnecting and reconnecting, but my tablet has done that since I purchased it so it's probably unrelated).
I haven't been able to reproduce the freeze yet. Ran the tablet on rom2sd for more than an hour with all kinds of apps, Netflix, Quadrant etc - works like a charm.
I did format the ext4 partitions before installing rom2sd (yet again). Maybe I finally got it right?

Possibly but like that said we've had this issue with some cards since data2sd days. If it does happen again, grab a logcat and post it up. I bet it will report file system errors.

(as a side note, you'll probably notice my wifi continually disconnecting and reconnecting, but my tablet has done that since I purchased it so it's probably unrelated).

Will have a proper look later, but on first glance your tab seems to have real difficulties staying connected to your router.

Haha... Yea that's an understatement... Think it's actually a router/generic android problem as my gs4 and my roommate's gs4 and tablet all have problems staying connected at home and on other networks they work fine.
Appreciate you taking the time to check this out and love all the work you do.

I'd solve the router issues first - it might be the root cause. Either reboot it or reset it, use WiFi analyser to get a good channel. If that doesn't work kill it and get a decent one.
Hmmm never thought that would be anything more than an annoyance, but it's a good idea. I'll bring my tab to work Monday and see if it freezes there where I know the network is reliable.

It's just there are so many log entries related to wifi and connections.......
well, used the tab on the office wifi for several hours with no freezes and brought it home where it froze after about 10 minutes.
Looks like the router is the culprit which means I now have an excuse to buy a new one...

Sounds like a good idea. Unlessnit is really old try resetting it first.
It's happened several times in the past three weeks, seemingly at random. I'll either be texting or playing a game, and boom. Phone goes unresponsive for about 4 seconds and the boot animation pops up. Sure enough, it's reset.
I have no idea how to get logs or I'd post them. Googling around at the time of this post.
Nexus 5, black, 16g, AT&T and (rooted) stock ROM.

Not to my knowledge. If I am it's because an app I installed did it.
How can I check to be sure?

It's happened 4 or 5 times with Hangouts, at least once with Chrome and I don't recall what I was doing for the rest, I just made note of it resetting when I didn't intentionally turn it off myself.
What kernel are you using?
Try factory reset fixes 98% of problems

Would there be a quick way to restore my phone to the condition it's in (preferably without the hangups)? Because I'd like to avoid that option if possible.
I pulled a logcat off my phone (and let it run for quite some time, 77k lines. Eesh) and there's a few warnings that kept popping up that I don't know how to decipher since I'm not an Android developer.
-[edit]-
Sorry, stock kernel. Only non-stock thing I've done is root it and installed few apps that either need or work better with root permissions.
I find it odd that the phone would do this randomly considering you are running stock ROM and kernel and all you did was root. With that being said a factory reset is your best option. Use titanium backup or helium.
What method did you use to root?
