I have yet to have a spontaneous reboot and I've had my phone 10 days.

I've used speedtest and maps (gps) often enough that I'm skeptical

of that theory.

I have a pretty stock phone although it's rooted and I've frozen a

bunch of bloatware - including wifi calling. I also tend to force 2G mode

and use wifi a lot since the local 4G speeds are only 900Kb.

With other phones the most common reason I've encountered for

spontaneous reboots are a defective battery - reads a partial charge but

a full charge or replacement battery prevented reboots. Probably a

momentary voltage drop.

A loose battery will achieve the same effect

and I've had to shim batteries before with a piece of folded paper

and/or tape. My battery in this phone is very tight so unless your

see something different....

You should put together a poll and see if you can identify a pattern

of usage/configuration that correlates with reboots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Are the people that rooted have reboots?

How many people that have reboots are using the old SIM card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
I'm rooted but using old sim card. I get reboots
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I'm gonna say its 3rd party apps as well.. I've had no reboots and haven't used any 3rd party apps that use gps.. So what apps should I check to see if gps causes a issue?

(Guide) Flash SBF to Motorola Atrix 4G

I was hoping to get some help.

I have an unrooted Atrix. It's my first Android phone. I already installed the latest update, 1.5.7, when it came out.

I'd like to roo the phone, but according to the above link I have to flash back to 1.2.6. I think I can handle the rooting process, but the flashing to the prior build is what I'm confused on how to do.

Am I understanding this correctly?:

1. I download the 1.2.6 file. Question: (What is the 1.5.2 file?)

2. Download the RSDLite 5 and install it.

3. I have a Windows Vista 32 bit system, so install the

32 bit file since I'm not rooted.

4. Then follow the instructions...turn off phone, ect..

5. On Step 7... Load up the SBF file, that would be the 1.2.6 file correct? I'm asking because I don't know what that 1.5.2 file mentioned earlier is. Does it matter where this file is extracted to on my computer?

After this is all done then do I I go to this page

[SCRIPT] GladRoot v4.2 (Bell 0.37.4, AT&T 1.26/1.52/1.57 Supported - Now w/ UnRoot) and do the first set of instructions?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm new to this and don't want to brick the phone. I really want that Titanium Backup program so I can backup and freeze some things.

Thank you

Don
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
I had the 1.5.7 update without root and a few days ago I did the same thing.

1. I download the 1.2.6 file. Question: (What is the 1.5.2 file?).

just get the 1.2.6 file

2. Download the RSDLite 5 and install it.

yes

3. I have a Windows Vista 32 bit system, so install the

32 bit file since I'm not rooted.

yes

4. Then follow the instructions...turn off phone, ect..

yes

5. On Step 7... Load up the SBF file, that would be the 1.2.6 file correct?

yes

I'm asking because I don't know what that 1.5.2 file mentioned earlier is. Does it matter where this file is extracted to on my computer?

no

After this is all done then do I I go to this page

[SCRIPT] GladRoot v4.2 (Bell 0.37.4, AT&T 1.26/1.52/1.57 Supported - Now w/ UnRoot) and do the first set of instructions?

if you have AT&T yes. Extract it so that it's C:\GladRootv4.2. When you run gladroot.bat be sure to answer yes to the question "Are you updating an AT&T Atrix on 1.26 to 1.57? [y/n]"

I got the adb "Unable to detect device" error whenever I ran the scripts. Just run the command adb services in a command prompt (You should see a device name as output) while in the C:\GladRootv4.2 directory for your computer to detect your phone properly and then run the script.

It's fairly painless, the SBF flash can take a while, 15-20 minutes or so. You will lose nearly everything that's on the phone, so save what you want to keep. I did notice the ringtones that I saved onto the phone (not on the sd card) were still there.
[Atrix 4G General] Shaydar:
Root explorer is more interesting IMO.

Cheaper than TB.

Just need to rename apk bay adding a .bak to freeze them.
[Atrix 4G General] dwaded:
Thanks for the quick replies. These forums are great!!

One last question. Once rooted, if Motorola comes out with future updates, will this process need to be repeated for each update?

Thanks again.

Don
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
i'd rather pay for few bucks for TB to have a quick and easy "freeze"/"unfreeze" button than to keep going in and manually renaming apks.

plus you can do all the root exploring and file managing that you want for FREE with super manager (in market).
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
Not sure, it depends how devs here on xda manage to root a future build. If the approach is the same as what is available now (preserve root in current build, update, restore root) you will not need to do the flash, lose everything etc. only if you run gladroot.bat prior to the official update. If you install the official update without running gladroot.bat then you'll have to go through the fun that is SBF flash.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I have a question about this as well, so I thought I'd ask here instead of a new thread...but at the drivers section of the instructions, it says just download them but if I've rooted my phone I should already have them. But if I've connected my phone to my computer by USB before just to transfer files, even if I haven't rooted, should I already have the right drivers?
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
Maybe. I would just install the specified drivers listed just to be safe. It's not a very large install file.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Alright, fair enough! Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Actually one more question. Does flashing the original SBF clear my phone? If it does, how can I backup everything on there if I'm currently unrooted? (I'm flashing this so that I CAN root later on). I'm not too worried about this I guess but I should be prepared anyway...

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C3", "Flags"

setting this to 0 enables camera button, problem is that setting is lost (value becomes 4) after reset, guilty for this probably being manila sense itself.

the solution is to enter this to registry at startup

I. by using FDC taskmanager (http://www.dotfred.net/TM/FdcSoft_TaskMgrv3.3_WM6.5.cab), in 3 little steps (someone can make a cab with these):

1. install FDC taskmanager to internal storage

2. copy attached import_camera_button.lnk file in windows\startup folder

3. copy attached a.reg in \temp folder

run file @2 or reset, camera button starts camera now, as with official rom :)

if you want a.reg somewhere else/with different name, you need to edit @2 shortcut properties (e.g. with total commander)

II. by starting the attached activate_camera_button.exe at each startup (make a link to it in windows\startup folder); what this small app does is just to change the mentioned register value to 0 (you have to trust me on that :) )

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brds85:
I was wondering if there was a way to send a text/sms message from the wifi xoom through your phone. My hope was that there was an application that you would download on your android phone as well as your xoom and sync them together. Then your phone would forward text messages to your xoom when it received them. Also, once received on the xoom, you could respond. The xoom would then send the text message back to your phone, which would send the message.

I've looked and looked, but couldn't find anything event remotely close to this. Does something like this exist, or am I SOL? I've seen other programs that give you a new number, a screen name, or whatever the case may be, but I want to use my own phone number so that people I text to will know it's me.

Thanks,

Brds

Been using this ROM since yesterday(received via OTA). Rooted, removed bloats, changed carrier boot animation and been tweaking stuffs, and it's pretty much stable and fast. The only problem I encountered so far was the constant drop of wi-fi connection but managed to fix it by changing my router settings to TKIP encryption. Still observing if the problem is gone for good.

You can flash this if you're on another froyo rom. I'm using the latest leaked(3.4.2-177_Nordic) prior to this rom.

Still no HD(720p) recording.

Tested no more wifi disconnect, TKIP encryption solved the issue.

Will share the nandroid tomorrow. Good night.
[Defy General] Mdfy:
Here you go, for those who want to try Official Froyo 2.2.2.

Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/GBN7ZZL8J2

If you're another froyo rom such as nordic you can restore the nandroid directly(via custom recovery; extract the zip file and transfer to sdcard)

All carrier bloats removed including:

Optus App Store, Games, Navi, Music, TV

Revert to stock bootanimation without the carrier logo.

Removed Optus bookmarks and homepage.

Added cyanogen APN list(since the rom defaults to Optus APN which is unusable in other country)

[Defy General] stewi21:
@JakDac OTA stands for over the air, this is the system that most carriers use to push updates to their customers' handsets.

No, this ROM will not work for either of the tablets, as the ROM is for the Defy and will only work with a defy.

Same here mate, i am a little confused by that as i thought it would have been the easiest version to roll out and i mean for all regions not just the UK.

ZTE V9 Froyo 2.2 when where also for Telstra T Touch ?

After flashing this rom you could back to any froyo rom(like the Nordic version) but not eclair.

assuming you're still on eclair you could flash the Australia Optus ROM from this site http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy and then manually update to froyo(settings>about phone>check for updates)

definitely not, the rom is only motorola defy.

Issues since upgrading....

Hi folks,

Apologies in advance for any dumb questions.

Got my 1st Adroid phone, the Defy last Thursday. Spent the weekend getting it up and running and everything was perfect -fast, responsive, no wi-fi issues... all good.

Applied the suggested system update (34.145.12.MB525.Optus.en.AU) yesterday morning and since then have been having probs with very slow GUI response - even worse if wi-fi is activated....

Any suggestions?

I don't mind rolling back - but don't actually know how.... any links/pointers?

Cheers,

Chris
[Defy General] tom11:
Not sure how to make it faster, i used that rom for a while and didn't have any problems, maybe try a factory reset.

if you want to downgrade to your stock rom there is a guide on this site forum.lowyat.net/topic/1557573 under Fixed SBF for Downgrade-ability from Undowngrade-ability but you need a back up a 2.51 rom and once you get it to a 2.51 rom then you can restore it back to your stock rom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanysto:
Ok guys, been a long battle. I spent a combined four and a half hours on the phone with sprint yesterday morning. We did soft resets, hard resets. We checked ESN and other numbers I didn't know existed. We checked towers as well.

And after all this, I still have issues making calls. When I go to make a call at home, it automatically disconnects even though I have full bars and my data is working. I also cannot receive calls, as everyone texts me saying that it is going straight to voice mail. I only really go three places.(work, home, gf's place) The problem occurs at both my place and work. However, it doesn't seem to happen when I am on the road, and it only happens sometimes at my gf's.

I took the phone to Sprint with a ticket number given to me by a second tier manager? The sprint store rebooted my phone a few times, tried to make a few calls. Of course it works. So their rule is, if they cannot replicate the problem, they cannot help.

So I guess I am asking what you guys would do. The only two option I see are:

1. Buy a used EVO and finish out my contract(14months) hoping nothing goes wrong with it.

2. Take the early penalty, close my account and go to Verizon like the rest of my friends whose GPS's and calling "just work".

I would hate to leave sprint cause they have the best unlimited deal out there. But this is the second "top of the line" phone I have bought with them that has been a disaster. And both of them seemed to work flawlessly for the first couple months I had them.

By the way, I am on stock EC05, and I have been ever since it EC05 came out. I am not rooted or anything. It was working fine till about Friday.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
Wow, try taking out the sd card and use the phone to make a call. SD cards can make the phone do some funky things. If that works; then put it back in, connect the phone to your computer, copy all the contents to your computer; format the sd card and copy the contents back to the sd card.

change to sprint only network (settings - wireless networks - mobile networks - system select .. choose sprint only)

uninstall app 3rd party applications; perhaps something running is the culprit

If still no joy; I would root it and try a custom ROM. Maybe a file got corrupted at some point and that is causing the disconnections.

I really like the one I am on, its worked beautifully.

I'd be happy to help you through the root process if it gets to that point.

Good luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanysto:
It doesn't matter whether I have it or not, they rebooted the phone, brought up the dialer, made one call(he might have made two, one of the other people was talking to me) and sent me on my way. If they can't replicate the problem, then their policy is to not do anything. I even asked them if I could make a video of it first hand when I get home, and they basically said that won't change anything cause they have to be able to replicate the problem first hand.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanysto:
I will try SD card when I get home. I don't have any third party apps, as the technician on the phone hard reset my phone like 3 times. I tried every custom rom, and I even tried to go back to DI18. All of them had the same problem, so I am guessing it is hardware related. Again, data is working correctly, just seems to be something with the calling hardware.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhill2112:
If you have TEP - don't even bother with taking to the store any longer. Just complain enough over the phone and you should be able to get someone to send you a new one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanysto:
Unfortunately I cannot really wait for them to send me a phone. I need to get something today, as this phone is also my work phone. Customers do not like going straight to my voicemail :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
After a tech on the phone with Sprint screwed my phone up even worse, had me stuck in an activation loop. He told me to bring it to a Sprint store. Well this was at night so I Odin'd to stock DI18 and let it do the OTA and that cleared up the loop. It may work for you and save you grief.

Do you BONSAI?

DDTM is not on is it??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I've heard of similar things. I helped someone troubleshoot the problem and came up with it had to be the tower. They called again to customer service and of course they said that nothing is wrong with the tower. I think that they called again to make a report to check out the tower near their house. They did that a few times. I don't know how long it took to fix the situation. I do notice lately that, even though signal strength was okay before, it's better now.

If you have another sprint phone, if you activate it, does it do the same thing? This might be one of those instances that if you complain enough, maybe they might give you one of those devices they have (I forgot what it's called) that you hook up to your home internet and it acts like a mini tower at home. I've heard of stories that after enough complaining enough, they'll just give you one. If the phone still does it then it's the phone that's flaky.

When you talk to someone, make it clear you use this phone for work and if people can't reach you, you will lose clients. If you start losing clients because of this then you will be forced to go to another carrier. If they say you'll have to pay etf then tell them you won't because it isn't your fault that you can't make or receive calls at work and home.

This phone or their equipment or service isn't working properly and you're losing customers because of this.

Here's another idea. Find someone else that has sprint. Have them go by your work and home and see if they can send or receive calls. If they can then its your phone, if they can't then it's the towers.
