[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Hi all :)

I'm running DeFroST 6.1a, stock DF kernel, and radio 5.11.05.14. Please bear with me because this might be a little long, as I try to explain everything I have done which landed me into a somewhat sticky situation.

A few weeks ago, I flashed the JAMT theme by ClassicalGas, and what I noted was the sudden loss of LED notification (and I don't seem to be the only one, actually). So I poke around, search the forum, and one user said he had gotten the LED notifications to work again by extracting the theme files from the JAMT framework-res.apk into the DF's framework-res and flashing the whole DF again.

I decided to try my hand at it, did a NAND, wiped, then flashed the "modified" DF - which caused my phone to be stuck in a bootloop. No biggie, just have to restore my NAND. I wipe, then when I'm about to restore my NAND, I get hit with

Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!

Which, after some googling, could mean a couple of things, like the checksum is wrong, or battery is low, etc. But before I do anything, I hit the wrong button in recovery, then my ROM boots up (wiped). The first thing I realize during the starting phone set up application is that about half of my screen is not responding, but once I get out of the initial set-up, all functionality returns

I power down, charge my phone a good bit, _wiped_, then I did a NAND restore , without any problems this time, restoring my original problem free-state, and everything seemed fine

A couple of days later, on vacation, I was playing a Tower Defence game on my phone, and the whole thing froze on me. I popped out the battery. This is real strange because that game had always worked fine before.

I then try a bit of Zenonia. At certain points, my phone freezes up. Characters on screen, monsters, etc are all still moving around mind you. All EXCEPT me. There seems to be no response from touch whatsoever. I get a little frustrated and press the "home" button as well as the "power" button.

After some waiting, my phone screen goes off. I find out that it has went back to the lock screen, and when I unlock, its back to the home screen, with Zenonia still running in the background.

I inferred that my phone's response has been super delayed for some reason. It happens for over a week, sometimes, seemingly to resolve itself after a good wait, and sometimes never (which requires me to pop out the battery). Sometimes, it "hangs" so badly that my phone itself began force restart. Also, out of all the times it restarted, there was _once_ it was stuck in the bootanimation.

And I also have noticed, if my phone has been on the whole day, at night, my SMS app (stock) seems to move very slowly - in terms of when I type out my reply, the phone seems to lag behind and cannot keep up with my usual typing speed. Even pressing the "reply area" requires me to wait for some time until the keyboard pops out (not stock, but never had problems with it before).

Sometimes, unlocking the phone when I last left it as the SMS screen would also cause some lag when I unlock. Reboots from the power menu seems to clear it up (until the next time it happens again).

Last night I tried some Kongregate Arcade, which needed flash. At some point of playing, whenever I was about to receive an SMS, the phone seem to _not_ response to my touch once again, while baddies on the flash game still continued to move around and hit me.

At first I thought it might have been a problem with SetCPU's governor (does interactive cause problems? Regardless, SetCPU was not a problem before the NAND). No matter, I changed the governor of my screen off AND my "normal" profile, but still no dice.

Also, could it be a memory issue? I doubt it, I hadn't installed anything else before and after the NAND, and I manually clear any unwanted running processes (and I have been, since I've gotten the phone).

So, dear XDA, what exactly is wrong with my phone? I hope its not hardware, and I'm hoping that flashing a new ROM might help, but I haven't done so until I have heard some opinions :/

P/S: Probably at wit's end here... :confused:

Edit: I'm not sure if its related, but once when I pressed the home button when all forms of input didn't work (buttons, touch screen) when I was playing Zenonia, Launcher Pro was "about" to FC, giving me the option to kill it or to wait.
