Z1 Compact freezes while charging

I've got my Z1 c updated to 14.4.A.0.108 on 29.08.2014 despite had same version by that time. After update the phone got frozen while charging with magnetic dock: the led was blinking white and no reaction to pressing power button. Only reboot helped (power+volume up). This happen twice out of three charging cicles.
Is there a solution for this?

  • E71 Freezes While Charging Battery

    My E71-2 will occasionally freeze when an event occurs (i.e. SMS, alarm clock) while it is charging via the AC wall plug.
    Yesterday serves as an excellent example. The phone was charging and I received a text message (alert sounded). When I went to go check the message, the phone was unresponsive. The keypad light was on. I attempted to unlock the keypad, toggled and held the power button, but all failed. Eventually I had to remove the battery.
    Again this morning, while the phone was charging my daily alarm clock went off but never got to the point of making any noise. The alarm keypad light kept flashing on/off and yet again the phone was totally unresponsive require me to remove the battery.
    Any insight? Maybe something that will be solved in a future firmware upgrade?

    This is the first laptop I've ever seen, that relies on both battery and PSU to run the CPU at full frequency. Correct me if I'm wrong...?
    Since you asked...routine reliance, no. In this post, a user running both cores hard measured power consumption at ~40 W. The 85 W adapter provides plenty of juice.
    As Retired Engineer stated, the Mac OS dynamically adjusts the CPU speed to meed demand. This is about more than just battery life, although that's one main reason. Another is Energy Star compliance (Apple states, +"For starters, Apple offers superior power management right out of the box — every Mac we ship is ENERGY STAR 4.0 compliant, or better, as a standard feature."+). As stated in this kbase article, there are rare occurrences when the computer will draw more power than the battery provides, so as a precaution the CPU is throttled back when running on AC power with the battery removed. But, even when on AC with a battery installed, the CPU will be run at the speeds needed to meet demand, meaning less power drawn from the adapter, consistent with environmentally friendly operation.
    If you'd rather consume more power than needed, there are hacks that allow you to control your CPU speed, your fan speeds, etc., manually. I personally don't endorse using them, so I won't post links. Try Google.
    Also, be sure that whatever utility you're using to monitor CPU speed supports your hardware and software - I know that one of the monitors 'broke' with one of the incremental Leopard updates, and reported speeds lower than actual.

  • DVI external display freezes while charging MacBook Air.

    My Samsung SyncMaster SA300 freezes my MacBook when connected, but when I unplug the charger for the MacBook, it works fine.  Very annoying...

    You can, but, some programs still can cause the display to come on because of their demands of the graphics chip.  So you have to sometimes keep an eye on the display so it doesn't overheat the keyboard or run the battery low.

  • FREEZING WHILE CHARGING FIFTH GENERATION

    My fifth generation was working OK,until one day the folder with the exclamation mark appeared. I've tried everything the website recommends - but no luck! I've tried charging it on my computer, but it keeps freezing after about 30 seconds of charging.
    ¿Any answers out there?

    It doesn't matter. Either way, it's eventually going to turn off, if you don't touch it.

  • Phone Freezes While Charging

    Recently purchased the HTC Incredible. Noticed that when I plug it into the wall charger, it does odd things (programs open, screens change and freeze), all without me touching anything.  I may have it set to the alarm clock at night, plug it in and set the phone down, and it's on a different screen (the only way I have fixed this so far is to use the 'mouse' and click on things).
    Car charger works perfectly, no functionality is lost unlike the wall charger.
    Any thoughts or fixes?

    Boot your phone in safe mode,see if the same will occur.It could be related to a 3rd party app like battery savers or task killers:

  • ARGGG phone froze while charging

    i have never had a problem like this before with anyphone.. but has had anyone else had this problem..? i trusted my phone as an alarm clock today for 9:30 am and left it charging overnight and to wake up at 12:15.. to see that my phone had froze with the external display showing 9:12... and opening the flip did nothing.. and because of this i missed my change to see james bond... i am not a happy camper. has anyone else had the problem of this phone freezing while charging?

    Mine has done that once or twice. But I just reset the device by removing the battery and it was fine the next day. Not sure what could've caused it though

  • Xperia z1 compact won't charge using USB, magnetic dock works fine!

    My Xperia Z1 Compact suddenly stopped charging while using a regular charger connected through USB. But the same charger and cable works fine if connected through the magnetic docking station. Is there any logical explanation to this weird behaviour? Is there any quick fix? Is it possible to repair? Shall I send it in for repair?

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    There might be something faulty with your USB-port. If you have tried several chargers but you experience the same behaviour, I would suggest that you visit nearest service center to have your phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Z1 hangs itself while charging

    Hello. My Z1 hanged three times during past 2 days. Each time it hanged while charging, but restart helped. I am not sure, but I think it hangs if you tick the 'Display--> Screensaver'. This function activates the presentation of your photoalbum while charging. I`ve switched off this feature, and this night Z1 did not freeze. Any suggestions of why phone hangs while charging or how to repair the Screensaver feature?
    P.S. I`m not sure that this feature is called Screensaver due to I`m using Russian language, so in English it might be called differently.

    You might want to try a repair of software with sony update service.But do you have any widgets which could make the phone lag?

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

    Hi swaraj.vidhate,
    If you are experiencing what appears to be unusually short battery life, you may want to check out the "Power/Battery: Battery life seems short" section of the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    In particular, the Restore iPhone step will help isolate if any potential issue is software or hardware related.
    With regard to the iPhone warming during charging:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
    If you are still having issues with the battery life, or have any further concerns, there is a link to Apple iPhone Support at the bottom of the Hardware Troubleshooting document; I am sure they would be happy to be of assistance.

  • MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

    Hi there,
    I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
    While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
    By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
    There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
    This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
    System Specs:
        Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
        CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
        RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
        Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
        PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
        New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
        New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
        2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
        1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
        OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
        2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
    Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
        reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
        updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
        updated BIOS to v1.A0
        Reinstalled Windows
        bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
        checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
        cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
        ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
        ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
        ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
        ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
        took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
        tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
        tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
        tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
        checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
        tested without any background programs
        raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
    I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
    Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
    Regards
    Sebb

    Quote from: Bernhard on 10-July-12, 13:15:30
    Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
    Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
    As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
    Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
    Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
    I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
    Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

         - I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.

         -I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.
