Smartphone acting stupid.

the other day with 4 bars showing my O1 wouldnt hold a call until it finally froze and shut off,not reboot but shut off, after several hours of drop call after drop call.
yesterday while typing a text the phone went back to home screen on its own. i press task switcher to bring messaging back up and it said a critical component was missing and it couldnt open. i tried it again and it opened fine
today its working fine so far.
i keep my cache dumped often, am running spb mobile shell and keypad roms and iconsoft 2.02 dialer. all else is stock.
is it an aftermarket incompatibility, a bad phone, normal for Omnias or something else.
also i turn the phone off at least once a day
thanks for your help
oh and when it acted stupid the back near the battery was not just warn but hot and battery was draining quicker by far than normal

ur not using a custom rom are u?

Could be a conflict with the keypad roms. Been using them long?

Costums roms are just fine. There was a problem early on right about the time the gps was unoficially unlocked. If you have a custom rom update it to a more current one that is still the same version ie. 6.1, 6.5, or the 6.5.1 or 6.7. Somewhere along the line all that got fixed but do a search for the battery problem. Also dont charge your phone with the usb conector. its not meant for charging. It will say full charge and than die quicker.

FWIW, what sometimes gives the impression that the batery is getting hot is actually the processor when it's being used continually.

That is exactly what I was going to say. When it starts to get hot, check to see what programs are running and close anything that you are not using. I find that mine will get hot and I will check the task manager. I find that opera, WMP, or some other programs that I thought I closed will still be open. After closing them, the back will cool back down.

I highly suggest something like magic button, HTC task manager or something similar that makes sure that the program closes when you want it to.

I would try flashing to a new rom. YOu can always flash back. adrynlyn cfo3 version 2,0 is really good and so is 3 i think. 4 is still buggy. I had that problem with my battery to and now i dont. never founnd out why. But i do keep flashing to newer roms. Blazing wolf also has very stable roms.

i have went through two phones and just one battery and my battery seems to last longer than ever now. FYI my last phone i broke. I ahave droped it in water on steel concrete and what finally broke it was me getting drunk and biting it.
