[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberjak:
I think the problem may be manilla itself as i've gotten the same freezing just changing from the main home tab to the application launcher, or sliding over to the weather.

I've kind of cured the freezing from just idle. by adjusting the power management to blank the screen and turn off after a short period of time.

but this isn't a total cure. going to try a few other roms that are WM 6.5 but earlier then Manilla 2.5
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastenchef:
same problems here. some different 6.5 and 6.1 roms (all manila). freezes in standby (day and night) - no pattern. my only solution at this time is to turn of the standby. but this result in very weak battery performance so i have to charge every night - this will make me crazy.

i hope there is a solution out there :mad:

With Touch X 10.1 and Norti's superlitespeed I have experienced no such problems. With some of the other roms, particularly WM6.5 roms (NRG, UnOff) I have.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude6595:
wanna know that problem??? sony just f-ed up on the x1 period. i was a long time sony customer but since the x1 turned out to be a $800 piece of crap they have lost me as a customer....they dont give a crap about anything. havent had the phone a year yet and its cracking all over and i take care of my phones. i have had this stupid freeze crap even with stock roms so the whole problem is sony. its pretty sad that you can buy a prepaid phone from a damn gas station and last longer then the x1 for 30 bucks. the X10 and Sony can kiss my @$$!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyXL:
Not that I necessarily disagree, but it should be noted that the X1 is made by HTC. Sony-Ericsson just happens to be the ones who commissioned them to make the phone.

On topic, I'd like to add that I too have experienced these freezes and random reboots. I've been at work about 2 1/2 hours and it's happened twice. I believe within about 30 minutes of each other. It happens mostly when I have the phone charging and the phone happens be 100% charged. Normal charging doesn't seem to be an issue, but if it's at full capacity and still plugged in, more often than not the phone hangs or reboots. There has been the occasion when the phone was not plugged in and it still hangs, but not as much. Further, up until recently I almost exclusively used Titanium. Only with Manila 2.5 have I really decided to give that interface a try and the problems started there. I've since gone back to Manila 2.1 and it still hangs. Prior to that the phone was rock-solid. I'm plugging in the phone using the Titanium interface for a while and seeing how that goes. If it still happens, then I'm going to back to 6.1. I don't recall this problem with the early builds of 6.5, but all the 6.5 builds I've used since have been flaky.

Switch off Sense UI when charging.......

I am using Itjes LEO v11 & when charging overnight I switch off Sense interface & select Windows default. This works for me & I have no freezes in standby or when charging. Sense interface has never crashed in standby mode as yet but does when I use charger. Maybe this solution is not ideal but it works for me.

Edit: Ishould have said Itjes LEO v10 as I believe there are issues with the newer version. I should also have said I have disabled Today timeout........Sorry folks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cenwesi:
Well Day1 and TouchX 8.10.2 haven't crashed... will wait for day2. I definitely has something to do with charging though. If after day 3 and no crash i will try out christian's rom again but this time i will use my laptop to charge it and see if it crashes.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
I never had any problem with Touch X 10.8.2, but that's WM6.1. I think the freezing only happens in 6.5.

On my phone it's definitely not related only to charging. One hour ago I found my phone frozen, it wasn't charging or anything, it was on the table in standby mode.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cenwesi:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
We can't blame Sony Ericsson for this. The phone works flawlessly on WM6.1 (which the phone was designed for). We are experimetning with software from newer HTC phones, it's not Sony Ericcson's fault it doesn't work as it should! ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastenchef:
NO! not only on 6.5. I have freezes on 6.1 too (yesterday 3 times!).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
That doesn't sound good. :eek:

Did you try to flash the stock ROM, you still have freezes there? If so, you can send your phone to the service for warranty reasons.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastenchef:
no - i havn't try the stock rom (i have used it only on the first day with the X1). at the moment i try to use the phone with manila turned of. 24 hours without crash at this time. *grrr* - but i want manila!

(sorry for my bad english - greetings from germany!)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
These freezes are extremely annoying.

I have them on all 6.5 builds :(

Definitely something to do with charging, only normally happens when phone is on charge.

I hope you brainy chefs fix this soon, its a great phone and I dont want 6.1 forever :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyXL:
The problem seems to be Manila

I have these freezing, reboot problems also using both 6.5 and 6.5.1 regardless of which version of Manila they ran. Switching back to Titanium made all my problems go away. Let me repeat, ALL. It's like night and day. It may not be as flashy, but at least I don't wonder how many calls I've missed or have to check my phone every hour to make sure it hasn't frozen. I mean really...how unacceptable is that. You have a phone so you don't miss something and this behavior nullifies all of that. I'm sure it's not the chefs. They're working with beta software. This has been my personal experience and your mileage may vary.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey there,

I had the problem that my xperia freezed too. When I put it to standby, it freezed after 30 min and it didn't react any more.

So I flashed four different ROMs, two 6.1 and two 6.5...

But in all cases the problem came again :(

Now I found the reason which freezed !!MY!! x1:

In my case it is S2U2 2.10 or higher...

But I love this program and I don't want to miss it.

So I've installed S2U2 2.04 again an now my xperia runs and runs and runs :)

I hope this tip can help you too...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
Never used S2U2...

Sorry, I haven't read this entire thread so someone may have posted this already.

My "standby" freezing stopped when I turned of the timed password lock. Now my phone can lay overnight or for a few hours and is fully operational when I pick it up to use it.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cqdan:
To avoid going anything technical, since I ain't one with the knowledge... I'm just going to say Manila should be the cause to this freeze of death problem. 99.999% sure.

The frozen issue started happening ever since I flashed ROM with manila built-in, and yet... after I had been annoy for about a week I switched Manila off and the problem was obviously eased (not 100% gone, but 90% not likely compare to Manila on). And after a month or so I decided to ditch the ROM with Manila and install UniOff V11 and use Titanium. Never happened again ever since.

Happened again last night :(

Im reflashing stock 6.1 in a moment, cant carry on like this with 6.5 and all these freezes, simply unacceptable.

its been 3days now and not one reset using TouchX 8.10.2 (6.1)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Find the cause??

My phone went good with Itje's ROMs, till 10.4 version. I even didnt know what "standby freeze" means then.

Then I have used Agent's TR ROMs for a while (since 3.9), never experienced a single standby dead till 4.5 though (surprised). Luckily I did make the backup of that "perfect" state every time I flash a new ROM with SPB backup.

Last time I went for the new TR4.6.76 FS ROM, restore the state from backup, everything went good for more than a day without any freeze. 3 days ago I started to play more "aggressively" with my X1, now the phone get that black dead every day, yesterday 3-4 times, no pattern, got twice affter a charging night. What I did:

Playing w new S2U2, set a theme, fullscreen phone, graphic modes etc...

Playing w Smartlock, replace with S2U2 (got a freeze right after that).

Playing w new sets of icons (taskbar, folders..).

Playing w animating TF3D weather, wallpapers, Alarm Clock...

Setting X-Panel key with AEBPlus to Startmenu (Deleted Panel Manager in Registry).

Install/Uninstall the Origin Xperia Dialer (Jack's).

Then I made a hardreset and restore the "perfect state", now its OK again for nearly a day (I will wait one more night for sure). Tomorrow I will test the things did before one by one to find what cause that freeze :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
I think it's safe to say that MrRusch&WildChild's ROM - Untamed! is 6.5 and doesn't have the freeze problem. I've been using it for a few days, charged the phone a few times - and no freeze of death. It has a few bugs that will be corrected in the following days, but it's almost perfect for me. :)

You can try it and report if it's working for you too. I wonder what's the difference between this and other ROMs that helps the phone not to freeze. Maybe it's the small RAM usage?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuTaMuH:
I've tested the new Agent_47's rom - 4.8.89 TR - and can confirm - no more sleep of death

(at least not for the latest 24 hours, using G-Alarm, recharging in stand by, wireless and etc.)

You can try it - I think - it's wort

My phone worked fine for the past week or two. I only had the lock up once tuesday, and after that.. **** hit the fan... it just locks up randomly, and not only that, but everytime it lock up my screen gets a halo formed. I'm almost shat in my pants the first time I saw that. btw, I am using EnergyROM photon 23504 (Nov. 8 release)

Anyway, my phone froze this morning @06:09 (my alarm goes off at 06:30) needless to say, I just missed a really important class. This can't go on. I'll try agent_47's Valkyrie FS 4.8.88 TR since he stated to have solved the issue. This will be my last try with 6.5 :( I really really really hope it works... I love 6.5 and manila.. but if it comes down to going stock or at least back to the ulgy and non-finger-friendly 6.1.. i will...

Wish me luck.. will be reporting how it ends up...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner22:
I have been using ITJE's v10 wwe for 3 weeks now without a single freeze and I use galarm 2.2 and had been getting freeze often with other roms from ITJE except 14.2.1 and blaze 2.4 by rota.

Before I installed v10 I reasoned that it may be the sd card as freezes had occurred while using Igo8, music player etc and the majority of programs I would install on my sd card.

So I took it out of the phone and put it into the pc and ran a scandisk on it with both options ticked and it took over 30 minutes to scan and it found a few errors. Then I loaded v10 and after inserted my sd card and the thing hasn't frozen since (it will have some slowdowns though) but I can still soft reset it through settings menu.

I have one issue with version 10 and that is the htc music player only plays a song for about a minute and then stops (windows media and coreplayer work fine) but I'd rather have the music player working.

I have alarms that go off on workdays and wekends as well as reminders here and there with no freezing.

I'm loathed to change from this rom but I know I will eventually.

Cheers,

Gunner22

Could it be Manila?

Hi,

I haven't read through all 80-ish posts (only a selection) but assuming that nobody has a definitive solution yet I thought I'd add what I've learned...

The freeze problem only happened to me on TF3D2.5 ROMs (i.e. those with the beta version of the HTC Sense UI.) I'm currently using Christian's WM6.5 ROM with no problems with freezing, etc.

I've tried Itje's, NRGZ28's and EnergyROM builds but they all seemed to have the same problem - random freezing of the phone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepthroat:
well it is an old trick to not to let unwanted active sync running in the background. Open ActiveSync, then Add Server Source, create a fake server here, you can type anything what you want. Once you created this, set the Schedule to "manual". Then you can delete the fake server.

In the addition, you can google for the ActiveSync killer cab around this forum, install it. Mine got it from Polaris forum, work just fine.

Try it, please report whether this trick work for you. Cheers.

@emuX, it is possibly not necessarily related to TF3D2.5 ROMs, my Polaris got the same problem since 23088 build, it has no TF3D2.5.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
Just checking - I see that nobody complained in this thread for a while. I've been using Untamed ROM in the last month, no freeze of death yet (but it has other big problems).

I was wondering if maybe the other chefs started using a different build and the standby freeze is gone there too? Does anybody still have the problem?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastenchef:
i still have the problem. i am back to 6.1 - and the freezes have gone.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtuvas:
hi there,

went through all the 9pages of posts, I'll agree with shey.py in second page mentioning Radio incompatibilities.

It seems all chefs use a ril dll that is incompatible with older versions of Radio.

Remember, none (that I know of) of the cooked roms include a radio Rom in them.

So if you like me, were one of the first ones buying the phone, you probably have *.10.* radio rom.

It seems that the best bet is a *.14.* radio as it's more compatible to the ril dll being used.

I had the daily crash on Christian's 3000 rom, flashed the*.14.* radio and never had a crash again. Will be flashing the latest Christian rom tonight/tomorrow and hope things stay like this.

So if ppl could care mention what radio rom they are using maybe that would help...

cheers

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthmelk:
@deepthroat - I can confirm it's not. I used itje's ROMs with the official start-button-up layout and had the freeze all the time.

@virtuvas - My radio is 1.14.25.55. I never installed a radio, maybe it was done automatically when I installed the official R3A ROM...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jezza0:
Yes - R3A ROM included 1.14 radio.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtuvas:
hm, not that then!

The only other thing that did change when I updated my radio was that I "lost" the 6.5 style unlock slider (not that I care much)...

Could that be causing probs? Someone else mentioned it as well.

anyway, will upgrade to latest Christian rom later on today and will report back after tomorrows charging session ;)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucleonhart:
Hey there.

Got that problem, too, on every ROM I tested (6.5).

My personal opinion is, that it has something to do with music playback. Every time my phone freezes, it should play an alarm, my wife called me, i called myself for testing... and so on.

It simply sucks. I'm trying some basic roms now...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepthroat:
guys ...SOD problem is in different nature with the freezes. Freezes can be quite common in cooked roms, remember that every chef starting point is different and there always uncertain portion of previous rom remained. Therefore optimum procedure when you tried the custom rom are;

- flash the rom once, to see whether you like it or not, what's in it ...

- if you like it, then flash again with the official rom more or less at the same level with the build of cooked rom you want to install. In case MTTY metode is available for certain device, do it.

- flash your rom

- hard reset

- investigate radio compatibility and the ril radio, sometimes installing the ril could cause certain problem also. You dont have to update the ril radio if everything is fine.

Freezes can normally be avoided by this procedure.

But SOD is different ....;)

ive been using salling clicker to remote control my pc using my x1i, and noticed that there seems to be a small bug with this software on win mob 6.5; where if your using titanium and salling clicker is connected to your pc, it resets to the clock option when its running in the background after about 1-2 seconds. makes it kinda hard to use the today screen! also happens when using manila - happened with every version ive used so far - returns back to the clock tab.

I'm now using back to Itje's Touch-IT Experience WWE version 2 build 21869 which the ROM dated is 27-Oct-2009. I've been using it for almost a week without having a death problem at any time. I'm dying when trying to use Itje's latest Leo Black v3 ROM because of experiencing the sleep of death at any times.

Another good and stable ROM for not having sleep of death or kind of freeze suddenly is the SpikeGotti's Clean WM6.5 ROMs. I've ever once using his ROM (gold and infinite 1.5), and they are perform very well. But because I do more likely to use HTC UI, then I switch back to Itje's. Some time I also have used Valkyrie Leo v5.1 Build 21883 for a few days and it also deliver good and stable performance. But then, i prefer to use previous HTC TF3D compare to the Sense UI. And in my opinion, Itje's WWE version 2 build 21869 is good and stable.

I'm not good at tweaking so then i just prefer choosing the right stuff to be flashed to my X1 :) And i am feeling that i likely have to be calm down not to be a flasher freak hehehe.. I will stay focus on this ROM now. Hope so..

I have had this problem with EVERY single leo ROM I have ever tried, to the point where I was convinced that my device was defective. Literally, the SoD would manifest within hours, sometimes minutes! However, since flashing and hard resetting without the SD card in I have not had the problem on Valkerie's latest leo offering, even after several hours of use.

I have cleared a lot of junk of the memory card -- though I did not reformat as I could not be bothered to copy all my music back over. Having reinserted, so far, so good. Tomorrow, if it wakes me up, I'll start reinstalling my CABs.

Experienced the same problem on an HTC Polaris. While try to flash another ROM I bricked my phone...I would recommend using 6.1 and if there are still SoD then immediately send it back to repair! If under warranty u'll be fine.

I hate this sort of malfunction. You don't really know what to do against it. But to hard/softreset the phone without Memory card should be one of the possibilities!

Also - all you who experienced those issues with the x1 - did you always use the original Sony Ericsson charger or different ones as well?

I had such an SoD yesterday. But that happens VERY rarely so I don't have to care yet. Never had a problem with the stock rom (I think my Polaris had. I bought it via eBay and could not be sure if it was the original ROM or not...)
