Liberty 1.5 Known Issues

k cool hope it works for ya
This isn't an issue with the ROM I don't think, but if my Droid will freeze at the Motorola splash screen whenever rebooting, is this a busybox issue? It is rooted and I have Liberty 1.5 flashed. Hard reset works but I don't like that it's freezing when rebooting. Started noticing it when TI backup was doing one of it's schedules with a reboot. I know it's actually booting though, as the tell-tale vibration happens and it seems to have response to the power button hold or menu buttons. Just a dimmed motorola splash screen which i can't break out of.
STILL getting some random lockups followed by a reboot. It's only happened once since loading it up Friday, which was last night. So about every 48 hours it seems, like last time, my phone with this mod seems to just stop responding and then after a few minutes reboots itself.
I already did an SBF and then clean install this time, wiped the SD card, etc. So its much more stable but still not sure what's going on. The only thing I stuck on around the time of the reboot was YouMail which I use a lot. Not sure if its the app that is causing it but I never had the issue before...although possibly I did under Apex. Stock rom doesn't seem to mind.
Is there a log somewhere that I can pull from my phone to help trace events?
I can always unload YouMail but then retrieving VM's is a pita.

Well I have to say up front that this is the first time I've flashed a ROM. Just got my Droid 2 last week and it's great. My only issue so far with 1.5 pertains to the touchscreen. It's happened a couple times with no in particular connection with what I was doing. Essentially it seems like the touch screen just starts to misinterpret where I'm touching.
For example, the first time it happened I was typing up an sms message. I use the swype keyboard so I was trying to slide across the keyboard and it was randomly hitting other keys. It was as if my finger was coming off the screen and tapping it again with each movement of my finger.
The second time it happened I was on the lock screen and it acted the same way which meant I couldn't unlock the phone (I use the grid lock). In this case it seemed more random and would start hitting locations on the screen that I wasn't even close to.
In both cases, a simple reboot fixed the problem, but given it takes a minute or two for it to reboot, it's a bit annoying.
Anyone else noticed this? Is this a known android/droid 2 issue? I hadn't noticed this with the stock ROM, but like I said, I've only had the thing for a little over a week.

Alright, so further observations on my problem above. I just plugged my phone into my computer and it started exhibiting the problem I described above! As soon as I unplug it, it is fine. Rebooting in this case didn't help at all. Now I did some searching and turns out that others have had this issue and it seems like it may be related to the PC/cable in use.
Unfortunately, I know that when I was having issues with the lock screen, I didn't have it plugged in so hopefully it was just a fluke that time...
Given that, I'll look into this a bit more as a non-liberty problem for now.
I switched to 1.5 yesterday, and have experienced numerous lockups and reboots since. I did not SBF, but did wipe data and cache. Running the Gingerbread theme, but otherwise no changes to default install.
It's worked fine for over an hour at a stretch, but I've also seen it locked 3-4 times in less than an hour. It reset while in Navigation last night requiring a battery pull, and also did in my home dock overnight (screen was just black in the morning).
Twice, these resets have been accompanied by visual corruption on the screen -- jittery picture and noise. That would indicate to me a hardware issue or overheating, but I'm not sure, and it's odd that it only happened when I switched to 1.5.

Do you have TI backup?
I had the same problem, my screen would like go black & not do anything till I pulled the battery. I did the .zip clean stock install thing from xda, rerooted then installed it.. been working fine ever since.

Just some battery screenshots. I'm pretty satisfied:

I won't swear on it, but it might be a hardware issue. I switched from 1.0 to 1.5, did not SBF, wiped data and cache, and I'm currently running the Gingerbread theme. I literally have had zero problems.dancedroid I had a market issue a couple days ago with another theme, that's obviously a theme issue as it's disappeared since switching to Gingerbread.
Let us know if you figure out the problem.
Let's look at the evidence.
Phone running stable.
Install new rom - phone becomes unstable.
Sorry, doesn't pass the common sense test to me.
The more realistic scenario IMO is the various custom environments users setup, conflicts/errors occur.

A number of issues can result from flashing a new ROM and its customization. Let's keep calm and help typoink figure out what happened. If you know the cause for the instability, do tell.
