I have run into this issue several times since flashing. It also sometimes happens when I plug just a normal USB cable in to charge at work.

Yea its been happening to me with broken out but never to this point where i can't use the dock at all. I'll try a fresh install of 1.3 tonight (if I'm not lazy) and see if it makes a difference.

What should i do with it?

If it is showing in titanium, try launching it. Make a backup too!

They're I'd another thread around here that talks about how the docks work using magnets and something else. If you can launch it from titanium, then there could be an alignment issue with the dock.
 
Dcaugust I have been rooted since it first came out, I had my first boot to lg screen and lockup running stock rom the after i froze the music app.
I have run every broken out rom since and freeze a lot of the apps but every time I freeze the music lilac file my phone will run perfect for 24 to 48 hrs and then start to lag real bad and when i restart I GET A notification that my memory is full or close to full and I have to reflash it to fix it. I am just stuck with it. I have when days after freezing apps to let the phone settle down before freezing music so I know it is the app causing the problem.

ive never tried freezing it.. but i always rename the music.apk to music.apkk since i dont have tb pro to freeze and unfreeze when i want.. never had any problems... if i dont rename it it causes conflicts with the miui music player for some reason
 
Yea you don't want to do stuff like that. Freeze apps you don't want or need. You'll need a pro version of apps like rom toolbox but freezing is better than removal or renaming.
 
The Even Less version of broken out I made does not even have the LG music app installed. I've been using it for at least 3 weeks and have no issues not having the music app, or LG home installed. It must be something the app does during install

I couldn't figure out how to launch it. I've only ever used TB for backing up apps. I did however manage to get it to work last night. I'll try the same method tonight to see if it's a "fix".

Could an alignment issue cause it to reboot and bootloop while connected?
 
If you look in this capture, there is a run app button below the backup one, and above three restore one. Not every installed object is a launchable app however.

I don't know if you are looking into it at all michaelson, but I just wanted to update you that having my phone plugged in to either my pc or wall charger causes the cpu frequency to reduce to whatever it feels like. Sometimes 1.5 but mostly either 1.2 or 1.0 but I have even seen it go to 800mhz several times. I even returned to stock earlier today and reflashed 1.3 and it's still doing it. I've done everything I can think of to troubleshoot this and have concluded it's something in the source code of the rom or android causing it. I don't even know if you can fix it, but just figured I'd give you my feedback.

Also after I reflashed the rom I didn't even use a backup to restore everything but actually redownloaded my apps just to make sure nothing in my previous setup was causing it. (I also didn't install a lot of the apps I had before and reduced my app number from around 100 before to 39) I had done so much configuring and changing of settings and installing and uninstalling apps I figured i needed a fresh start. Though doing that has made my phone run smoother and faster the cpu still changes when plugged in.

Nevertheless I love the rom and sent you 20 dollars earlier tonight. :)

Could you please hook me up with that clock zip? :D

That can be caused by your phone overheating

I left a reply on your site when I had my laptop unpacked.
I can't seem to navigate the site from here.
Can you PM me here or post what app you want me to run.

What music app do you recomend?

Back on topic:
I set a magnetic card holder close to my device and it rebooted.
I was running this full version of 1.3.
I will try to recreate it.

Mine does the same thing, frequency randomly changes when charger is plugged in. Not a big deal to me, just thought I would confirm it. Love the ROM!:D
 
I have heard that the new update for our phone has made some drastic improvements to it's performance. I can't wait to try broken out on it.
 
I use WinAmp as my music player. Well, I use it for music files and occasionally for streaming through ShoutCast. I also keep on hand TuneIn Radio Pro and the Radio Paradise widget. Between the three, I have no need for any other music apps.

The one thing I haven't tried yet is playing WMA files. I accidentally ripped some CDs to that format before I sold them and didn't notice until they were long gone. My old HTC DROID Incredible couldn't play them, but my Spectrum supposedly can. I need to see if having the code onboard allows my music players to play these files.

I found a free app that allows you to freeze unwated apps...Its called AntTek App Manager, I have froze the music app and icon etc and had no problems as others have stated with doing so. Hope this helps someone. Link is below:

By the way MtM. great work on ROM as my battery life is way better. One more thing, I do like the clock being displayed in the center of the screen!
 
I saw that the other day... It's a great option for those who want a free app! I use the archiving in rtb, so even though it fc's a lot but it's my fav tool

Not sure how it could be related to you not being able to get to my site, but I removed the crappy mobile site plugin that was pushing ads today.

I have a 32GB class 10 micro SD in my phone, and it is mostly full with Roms, test/beta Roms, nandroid backups, titanium backups, and other app backups, that I use Google music as my secondary music app and Pandora as my primary.

As for the reboot issue, our phone uses magnetic sensors in various places to initiate different things. There is a thread on here about car docks where someone was making a custom dock and discovered this. More info in that thread. I do not recall him finding a reboot spot, but I am not surprised, it would be handy if it works during an OS lockup so you do not have to gank your battery.
 
I have had a peculiar issue with this ROM. It seems that, no matter what I set my screen timeout to, the screen only dims and never shuts off completely. I am using the 1.3 build with no CPU-altering software running. The phone also is not currently using a battery conserving app of any kind. The screen does dim at the proper time, but I have to press the button for the screen to turn off.

That said, phenomenal job on the kernel. Battery life has been tremendously increased :)

No i mean the desktop dock, the one that charges the extra battery. From Verizon. Every time i dock it, it reboots and bootloops until i take it off. Then it boots up with an empty notification bar, nothing on it, just gray and i have to reboot to get it back.


Edit: ok, fine, it's called the"Media Charging Dock" lol

i get random reboots when i lay my phone on my desk at work. it is a metal desk and i suspect that it might be slightly magnetic. took me 2 days to figure out what it was. i had the brow sweating going. whew. not good.
:(

i had this happen when going to 1.2 ... try wiping cache... if that doesnt fix it backup everything and wipe data and cache and reflash the rom... that should straighten it out

i just attempted to get mine to reboot with a magnet... no luck but i noticed the sensor is very close to the volume down key... positive and negative sides of the magnet determines whether it shows the pouch clock/notification or car home.... it would be nice to figure out how to change what happens... for example put a magnet on my dashboard so whenever i put my phone there it automatically opens google maps or music...
 
Posted over on Popcorn first as I thought it was a kernal prob. then this.


I ran all day on Blitz yesterday and started having proplems around the 30% mark again. First while running pandora phone would just reboot on its own . then when I put it on the dock last night boom reboot. took it off. Reboot stopped and was fine. Repeated this process about 5 times . I have several batteries so I took out the low extended battery and put in a fully charged normal battery. No reboot.

Any information needed I can supply. Just let me know.
Wonder if its a problem with the overclock? Im going to try a few things today and see.

Thanks
