Titan unresponsive using DCD's 3.01 or 3.04

[kill_dano]

I find that my Sprint titan is, at times, very unresponsive. Usually it will happen after having not used it for a few hours. After I wake the phone up, I'll notice that most tasks require multiple inputs before sensing the touch. (ie: if I wanna open the start menu I might have to touch it 3-6 times before the phone opens the start menu) It is not just the touch screen; the buttons are just as unresponsive when the issue is present. After a about a minute or two of use while I'm having this issue the phone will become more and more unresponsive, finally I might have to press an item 10-20 times before the phone opens it. At that point I need to reset the phone in order to restore normal functionality.

This used to happen to me using DCD 3.01 and I hoped it would not happen on the newer 3.04 but same issue remains.

Something that is unique to my situation is that I'm in the US navy and currently deployed, thus my titan will never get a signal. Being that I can't find anyone else with this problem it leads me to think that it might be related to never having a cell signal as most people who change their ROM probably are on the network.

Just to let you know, I have had this problem. I think I limited it down to IM+. With just the included applications running, this did not occur.

[kill_dano]

I've never used IM+

I'd suggest that both of you list ALL apps that you added to the ROM.... That way we can cross reference what you both have in common when the issue happens, and can eliminate OEM's one at a time....

I didn't add anything to the roms. Just donwloaded the rom and flashed it.

I installed Mortplayer and HTC home 2.0 + HTC home customizer 1.0. Those are the only two programs I have on my titan.

Then it could be HTC home. I found what specifically lags me about IM+ is the home screen plugin. Try disabling the HTC home screen plugin.

I'm having this same problem. It started after updating to the new Rev A/GPS Rom from Sprint. I've just recently noticed that when the device becomes unresponsive, the signal strength icon is showing data transfer. The device is acting like it is becoming bogged down while sending or receiving a large amount of data. The last time it became unresponsive, I hit the Com manager button, triggered airplane mode (thereby killing the data connection), and the device instantly became responsive again.

The only thing I have running in the background is Outlook which is checking my Gmail every 15 minutes.

I do have HTC home and Home Customizer on it though. Anyone seeing a pattern here??? I do not use IM.

I ran across Spybot Search & Destroy for WinMo standard and PPC last night. was thinking of installing it and see if it discovers any possible malware. I highly doubt it though since I never surf to unknown websites or open unknown mail.

I should also say that I did make some reg edits for better power management. But they were done with the previous Sprint Rom AND after the new Sprint Rom was installed. Never had a problem when running the previous Sprint Rom.

Anyone else noticing this happening when data seems to be transferring? Anyone try disabling the HTC home and Home Customizer?

HTC Home is a huge memory leak, the worst of any PPC application I've ever run
it dumps tons of useless info to the kernel log which may be the cause
I would suggest rltoday, there are htc home clone themes available

Thanks so much for the info DCD!! Checking out rltoday right now. Possibilities look endless.

I'm bumping this thread because I have the same problem all the time. The issue appeared on No2Chem's ROMs and DCD's roms. I have many programs installed, but it sounds like this occurs even with no programs installed. Did anyone figure out a fix for this?

It is quite annoying to find my phone randomly very unresponsive to any key press (touch screen or hard buttons).

By the way, could it be our radios? I'm using 3.42.30.

Interesting - I've been a user of DCD roms since pre-3.01 on my XV6800 and have never had any problems. After installing 3.3.4, however, I did experience these exact same symptoms. I tried removing applications, today plugins, etc., but the issue persisted. As a last resort, figuring it was just some incompatibility with my configuration and not the rom, I rolled back to 3.2.6 and all has been fine so far.
