Screen unlock reboot issue

Hi all,
I don't know if any of u have this issue but on any rom (cm7, cm9, cm10, stock 2.3.6 fruit cake) my phone randomly reboots instead of showing lock screen when I press the power key to wake the phone. I don't know what is causing it but it happens randomly.
I tried complete wipe (system,data,cache,dalvik including internal and external sd). I changed kernels (stock, faux) changed radios (.36p, .37p) but no use.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance

Try fastboot wipe. That fixed my rebooting issues when I flashed cm9.
I used this

Hi guys little help

Hi my friend has the defy and has been sent a replacement by Tmobile as original was faulty. It has come back with 2.3.3 on it and its so much slower now. My question is will rooting it and instaling cm9 etc speed it up a lot?

Hey
If he wants a system that runs very stable and also smooth, he should give CM7 a try.
I wouldnt recommend CM9 since its death on the defy.
CM10 has come to a point where its very usable, ive been using it in the past weeks and i had not a single problem with it

Thanks for the reply dude. Iv rooted with super one click but everytime I try flash CWM I get stuck in boot loops any idea? I use RDS to go back to start again and keep trying but same old carry on

Hope that you're wiping data, cache and dalvik cache after flashing via CWM.

I can't get cwm to install aha I'm going to try 2ndint apk

Yup. You need to install 2ndinit to get CWM onto a stock ROM.

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.

Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

So I should try flashing another rom to see if it fixes the problem?

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

Cm 10.1.3 no 4g

I decided to give cm10.1.3 a try now that it is stable. I've flashed cm on many devices without trouble including this s4. But this time when the phone booted, I had LTE displayed as connected in the status bar but couldn't get any throughput. 3g works fine when I switch to CDMA only. So as a test I flashed 10.2 nightly (which I have run before without issues) and no LTE with it either. So I dug up an old 10.1 nandroid which was fully backed in good shape and holy crap!! No LTE!!! So I flashed back to touchwiz nandroid and LTE works fine. What's up. Very weird. Any ideas.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Same here I'm having troubles with LTE on my s4 running the latest version of beanstalk ROM and I live in a LTE area and have always have been able to get LTE. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

No..I tried re-downloading the ROM from other sources. Still 4g connects but is super slow. Like 5 mins to open a web page. I have great 4g coverage at home usually. 3g Is working good though.

Im not sure but try a apn back up on stock rom, then reflash cm.

Thanks gottablunt..will try that and post back

Apparently you can't backup APN on 4.x ROMs? Not without purchasing titanium backup at least
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

So I figured it out. 4g wasn't working because I'm an idiot and was wiping everything including system. Didn't realize there were settings that need to be left for cm to connect. At least that's the only reason I can think of. Hope this helps someone else so its not a total waste of forum space.

I wiped my system a few days ago when I was flashing the latest beanstalk build, that explains why late isn't working. What should I do to fix it?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

If you have a backup of stock or another touch wiz ROM, flash back to that. Then boot into recovery, and do a factory restore. That will wipe data,cache,and dalvic, but leave the system intact. Then just flash cm or other aosp rom and reboot. Should be good to go!

Thanks so much man LTE is back for me finally

Just wanted to report that I came in here with the exact same problem and this fixed it for me as well. I was running the Pac Rom nightly and was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I too had formatted system just by force of habit. Maybe this should be mentioned in install tutorials not to do that.
