[Xperia Arc General] remolo:
Maybe Finalfour is right. Yesterday, after two reboots, I switched off Green Power and no more reboots. The big problem is that now the battery is going down very quickly and my Arc is getting very hot.

Now I'm trying Juice Defender and Advanced Task Killer. It's too early for saying something but since one hour the Arc is colder, no reboots yet, but the battery is still quickly discharging.
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
The phone will go to reboot is you use juice defender too. It is not depends on program (juice defender or green power), its depends on wifi managment. Is you let for any program manage your wifi to save battery drain - reboot will appear. Why why, i can't understand, why it happends, but it is.
[Xperia Arc General] FiveInline:
And why is the phone restarting when tapping on the backside of it? i cant see that has anything to do with WIFI.
[Xperia Arc General] Finalfour:
Maybe, there are two between not related reasons, why phone is going to restart. As for me, i can tapping on the backside, and no happends, never. But when i let for green power manage wifi, phone is going to restart. And it hapend when phone is idle. Maybe there is another reason, why your moms arc is going to restart...
[Xperia Arc General] NiMH_999:
if yours restarts by tapping at the backside of it, you may try this method, it will probably help you.

[Xperia Arc General] remolo:
No more reboots since i uninstalled Green Power. It looks like Juice Defender doesn't give that problem. Maybe it's a coincidence or maybe not. I'll check it more.
[Xperia Arc General] Leafhill:
Mine reboots at least few times a week.
[Xperia Arc General] FiveInline:
This seems to help! so far NO REBOOTS! it used to be 4-5 in a day.

Used Ductape on upper-half part of the battery and on the bottom of it (underside of the battery)
[Xperia Arc General] mosburger:
an update to my rebooting issue, it now reboots approximately every 2 minutes. yes, 2 minutes. i will post a video when i have the patience to actually sit there and film this frustrating little phone.

the reboot issue has been getting progressively worse, and i'm not sure if it has to do with wifi or not, but i will try the green power and juice defender apps just to see what it does. and while tapping the back doesn't do anything, i will try duct tape. a new battery didn't fix my issue.

as a side note, when i am actively using the phone, it seems to be fine now, but as soon as it is put on a desk or table, the issue starts.

the only thing that i have noticed is that this reboot every two minutes started occuring when i was roaming on another network. other than that, the phone is the same setup and apps.

i have visited a docomo shop, and they confirmed that the handset is "most likely" defective (this was before the every 2 minutes reboot), but due to low stock of the arc in japan, they are unsure when i can receive a new replacement handset. they offered to repair it and provide me with a loaner unit, but due to travel plans i wasn't able to do this yet. with the xperia acro announced officially by docomo on monday, the arc is pretty much outdated in japan, after 1.5 months. 49,000yen, or about $550(?) dollars, and an unusable phone. nice work sony ericsson quality control team.
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
I think mine may have had a reboot once since it arrived to me more than a month ago. But that's it, I'm not even 100% sure of that one time.
[Xperia Arc General] LahiruRD:
No reboots

From France
[Xperia Arc General] kaatisu84:
Skimkim84 had the right idea, I use tissue paper, just enough to really hold the battery still...now I've gone over 50hours without a reboot.

Before it rebooted everytime I put in my pocket or put on the table. Now it is fine. I'm a little cautious about returning to docomo as a have rooted and uninstalled at JPN apps...doubt they would notice though!
[Xperia Arc General] remolo:
Now I can confirm: no reboots since i removed Green Power and I installed Juice Defender three days ago.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jkalbfeld:
Hello,

I've been haxoring and modding my G1(s) for a while now, but the recent ATT merger got me a little bit freaked out so I renewed T-mobile to get a G2 (unlocked, rooted, S-OFF, eng hboot, SuperCID ;) and also I bought an HTC Desire Z and did the same.

In doing hardware repairs on the G1, I noticed that the UMTS radio is a small daughterboard connected by coaxial cable to the main PCB. If I could get ahold of a Rogers HTC phone of a similar model, would I be able to switch out the 1700/2100 radio for an 850/1900 radio and use it for ATT 3G?

Thanks,

jonathan

I couldnt figure it out either, so just used Wifi to get myself going...

Turns out 2.1 doesn't support two factor authentication with Google accounts, (at least I couldnt get it to work) so you may need to turn that off too to get going.
[Networking] DJSpyral:
I currently have an HTC Vision and have tried running multiple different ROMs, each with different radio basebands and kernels. However, I seemingly have an issue in a specific spot with data, so I've come to the conclusion that it's not my phone. Basically, my phone will be blazing along on 4G/HSPA+ then all of a sudden BAM!, data stops and it says I'm on 3G yet nothing will load. I tried reporting it to T-Mo customer service, and the woman I spoke with the second time was just... well... retarded and I couldn't understand her Engrish, but what I did understand was "the towers shouldn't affect your data sir" ... really!?!? How do I get my data service then?? I don't know why T-Mobile has gone about hiring people who hardly speak English all of a sudden, but that was one of my favorite perks of T-Mobile... customer service I could understand. Should I try getting through to Customer Care?
[Networking] matthew5025:
I guess it really depends on how big the "dead" spot is and how much time you spend there. If it is a really specific spot, and you spend little time there, than no, I don't think it is really worth your time. Might be some strong interference nearby affecting that spot.
[Networking] DJSpyral:
It's a broad general area, not a small specific location. Already called them about it and they found issues with the tower. Thanks for the reply though!
[Networking] Twirl126:
I would recommend to flash back to factory settings and then try to install whatever you want.
[Networking] DJSpyral:
Twirl ... you're missing the point. It's only in one specific location. Not to mention, after 4 phonecalls to customer care and speaking with Tier 2 reps, it's been resolved. The tower in fact was malfunctioning. Problem solved. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninpoumike:
Hi, Today during a surfing on the net with my wifi and in particular whan I was watching a video on youtube, my Desire stop working during the video and I removed the battery to unlock it, but when I reinsert the battery the phone don't power on and don't go on recovery, It seems completely dead, if I put it on charge the orange led work but when I press power or power + vol down the led turn off and there are no response from the phone.

What can I do? Can I send it to the asssistance, it is rooted with unrevoked and with djdroid 2.1 installed on it!, and I have it from a week because of the porblem of rebooting the asssistance have changed it the motherboard.

Please help me!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
I think manufacturers tend to treat rooting = void warranty unfortunately

Are you able to connect with the handset via adb?

There's a good tutorial on this here:

If it works, you might try to flash the correct branded stock rom (RUU) so you can return it?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davpitdavpit:
Hello.

First sorry for my poor english and my newb-ness ...

My xoom is stuck in boot animation (the honeycomb animation).

It is recognised by my computer, I can access it via adb.

I wish I could unbrick it without having to reset it.

The last thing I did before reboot was to install ADW.launcher.

So I thought I only had to remove the apk/odex from my system/app folder, but the files actually do not exist.

Is there a way to know what is happening, and to repair without having to do a full reset ?

Thanks for your help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
How are you seeing system/app folder. Try looking in data/app folder instead.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davpitdavpit:
Thanks for the answer.

The installed apps are in data/apps ? Or is it the data for each app ?

I am rooted. I am seeing files with adm remount, adb shell, and then shell commands.

I tried lots of bizarre stuff yesteday night, removing or pushing files to the system dir, but off course I didn't manage to do anything usefull.

So I decided to flash STOCK MZ604_HW169 root, recovery, system and userdata.

I lost my userdata but kept my apps.

Anyway:

1. I would be pleased to know how could I have been able to know what is wrong ( is there a bootlog ?) and what should I do if and app prevents me to accomplish full boot.

2. My xoom is a french wifi, and stock us wifi works like a charm on it.

Hi guys, I'm using GV 2.1 and flashed the leaked gingerbread drivers and am now experiencing wifi problems where my phone says I'm connected to my router but it won't send/receive any data.

Does anyone have a flashable zip of the stock drivers or is my phone f****d?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

EDIT - My wifi works fine using sense roms but loses connection on AOSP roms, it worked fine on AOSP before flashing the leaked 2.3.3 drivers zip :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] dude_se:
hi there. before i get moaned at .... im new here, ive searched and searched, and im still stuck!

soo got a galaxy s yesterday. not really used android before, so guess im a "noob". its running running 2.2.1, and have tried z4root (first time i tried it, it did a few steps then just closed, and now it usually just gets stuck on the first step). tried doing it via the recovery menu, but im using 3e, which isnt very good for the task so i hear. have also tried a few other ways but have always got stuck at some step. superoneclick is something i have yet to try, as net framework 4 is moaning it needs 1gb of space, and im stuck on a netbook with a 4gb ssd, but im convinced it will not work for me anyway.

all i want to do is install a custom rom! seems like such a painful process. some great looking roms and sites out there, but i have also come across some painfully hard to understand (worded badly) ones.

so all i want to know is, how can i flash a custom rom to my 2.2 galaxy s, with 3e recovery? and more importantly, if i need to root it how to do it, as it just aint working for me.

ps: sorry if theres any typos/lack of caps, etc, but this netbook has a very poor keyboard. i think it needs a good clean.

cheers :)

Then tried a different wifi access point on my network with similar results so it seems to be the phone. In comparison my wifes phone is consistently around 5 times faster download speed. sucks not to be able to use my new toy properly Any ideas before it goes back?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyGeko:
is your router capable of sending G and N signal at the same time? u may have to change either a setting on ya phone to just pick up G or a router setting, this wont be your phone, i work for an isp, see this all the time 1 pc or laptop is N router is N and 2nd pc is G or even B and this causes problems
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonkQuixote:
Thanks for the reply changed the router to n only and the phone is the only device connected still painfully slow. Then tried b/g and the speed test is much faster. Looks like the galaxy dosn;t play nice with the n router I have (home hub 3 from bt)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
Some routers with n were released with support for the draft spec. It's possible your router only supports a version of the draft n spec and thus isn't fully compatible with the SGS2 which would be full n spec compatible. Your router may have a firmware update that would give it full n spec. It would be worth a quick check.

ok creepy. I had root access this morning. Everything was fine...

I rebooted my xoom recently to check out a new boot animation, and now I've lost root. Every root-required app I open says I've lost root!

Still running 3.0.1 ... so it didn't install any OTA that I know of. I didn't accept any OTA's anyways

This is on the WIFI Xoom 3.0.1 with Tiaman 1.3.2. Anyone seen this happen before where you just randomly lose root? I've rebooted 3 more times.... still nothing. What the hell?

- new boot animation zip file - no troubles there

- installed CircleLauncher widget ...

- usual browsing, checking emails, gtalk, tweetdeck etc...
