[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichardM5422:
Hi all,

I'll describe the problem, as it has occured in two stages.

On saturday, my phone rebooted in my pocket without any button presses or prompting.

Later in the day, I found that the loudspeaker on the phone was not working. No ringtones, message tones, email tones, could not play music, would not show youtube videos.

The phone then rebooted again.

I backed up the phone on my PC, rebooted once more and it was working fine.

Then on Sunday the phone turned off and rebooted again, and the problem with both the loudspeaker and the rebooting as been occuring on and off since then.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a reason? Is there a solution?

Thanks

Richard

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgotti107:
Sorry if this comes off as noobish but is there anyway to flash over to stock Gingerbread (and eventually to a custom rom) w/o the use of Odin? I've tried to search but didn't really see anything that clarified this for me. My phone just doesn't want to work with ODIN at all...it will pick it up every once in awhile but only when the phone is powered completely on. I've installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers/kies etc. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me resolve this issue!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
you can give heimdall a try, but if you are talking about a cwm flash then no, you cannot. flashing bootloaders in cwm is WAY more risky than using odin or heimdall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgotti107:
My main issue is that I cant keep my laptop to recognize my phone in the first place...like I said earlier, I tried various drivers including the ones from Samsung and Softpedia...And whenever I do get it to respond, it wont recognize it in download mode at all...thanks though...the only thing that I haven't really tried was a new cable...will be purchasing one later...I feel so left behind on my roms lol. I was able to flash Froyo with no prob...now its so many out that I can't get my hands on...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
I would try thee drivers from dg (designgears ) thread in development. It also might recognize better from stock also.

I'm in the same situation from time to time on my work laptop. Not sure it's gonna mather for your situation but i found that if i undock and redock the computer Odin then recognize the phone again when it goes foobar. (I only use the laptop usb port and not the docking station ones).
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] pashka0:
Do I need to use taskkiller with WildPuzzleROM v0.8???
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
No. Any ROM which uses Android 2.2 and above do not need task killers.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] pashka0:
CyanogenMod 7.1.0 too?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
You don't need a Task killer for CM7 too. It's Android 2.3.4. :p
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] -Howard-:
Meh. Just dont use task killers at all tbh.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Slymobi:
i agree totally with 3xeno and howard. i was a true lover of task killers from the start of rooting and flashing and ive tried nearly all of them.i then decided to try without and the android system works its own magic amazingly.task killers in my experience actually use more resources and power than what they are trying to kill. big massive - for task killers. lol.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] -Howard-:
Yeah the android system will kill off apps when they are no longer needed. Task killers do the job they say but can cause apps to go into somewhat of a restart cycle causeing you to have to use the task killer. Whithout a task killer my system is smoother tbh

I'm not able to download large apps/games like Angry Birds, Talking Tom,etc. These apps/games are available in the market, but after i click on download, the download icon flashes in the notification bar for a moment and disappears.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] whitest0rm:
try installing a rom so that app2sd works, it maybe that you dont have enough memory since the mini and mini pro only have about 128 mb storage

if you decide to flash a rom then i suggest cm7 since it has the easiest app2sd to use
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krish225:
ya as WHITESTORM said install another rom like CWM 5.0...because for SEUS rom phone memory is very low and i think that is the real problem.....:)...make sure back up with xrecovery if anything goes wrong
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adieeluv:
After researching, found that it was dalvik cache which was eating lot of memory. So cleared it through xrecovery and guess what? these apps are now downloaded and installed successfully. :)

Btw guys thanks for your lovely support.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudelm:
Hi there,

this is my first post here, so be kind ;)

I'm writing my master thesis on WP7 Security and I'm currently looking through some of the threads posted here on XDA. Some of them are over a year old and link to documentation, that was marked by MS as confidential (I'm talking about the three documents provided in Windows Phone OS 7 Guides [Development::Architecture::Customization]).

First of all: The documents are marked confidential and leaked somehow to the public. Did MS say something on this matter? The Information I found there were very interesting for my work, but as it is marked confidential... I think you see my problem :cool:

Second: The documents are old, so old that they say explicitly its open to changes. Is there some newer documentation available? I'm especially interested in the used kernel (up to now I think its Win embedded compact 7, as mentioned by MS guy Olivier Bloch ). There were also this nice diagrams on WP7 Memory Management and Kernel details.

Third: Do you have some nice articles on WP7 Security, besides the one linked in the FAQ or the very few found on Google?

Thanks to all of you,

Markus

Have you just started watching the cell phone industry? If you have here is lesson #1. Updates usually come after about 3-4 delays and 6 months after they are suppost to :) Now you will save yourself alot of waiting. And go download the final thats been in the dev forums for over 2 months.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okachowwa:
I saw "secret codes" in the wiki for the Captivate and I wondered where you input those and the one for "Factory Hard Reset to ROM firmware default settings" can you explain what this one does and also would it unroot? Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
just dial them in as you would a phone number, in the dialer. I THINK a hard reset reflashes everything to go back to factory settings (removes you apps,etc but does not delete your sd card), which means it probably removes root, but I am not 100% certain.

get an app from the market called SGS tools and it will show you all of the codes for Captivate.

Every time watch a flash video I get some sort of a line either on the right side of the screen or on the right side and the bottom of the screen. Is there a problem with flash, phone or the video?

You can see this either in desktop version of youtube or in website such as project free tv.

I have the most up to date version of flash.

Does anybody else get this too or its just me?

Edit: forgot to add that you have to be watching the video in the browser and not the youtube application And you Have to be watching the video In Full Screen. Here is an example

[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
What is the deal with Acer? I have not received an update to address any issue since the purchase. This is quite ridiculous. If there is no release to 3.1 before the end of the month as promised (unless leaked versions are considered releases) I think its time to try a different device, maybe the Toshiba. Or HP Touchpad since Google and the manufactures can't seem to deliver a fully operational product. As a matter of fact I'm frustrated with being a lab rat for Google tablets period, the phones are awsome. Well now that i have released some tension the title of this thread should be changed.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Impatience has never served anyone.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The leaked version clearly isn't a final build, going by a few issues with it; especially on devices in the EU. Ever thought that, just maybe, they're having a few issues localising their mods with the updated codebase of Honeycomb?

Besides which, 3.1 isn't as big a change over 3.0.1 as you might think.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
Had Acer and Transformer since day 1. Been very patient.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
I guess I would rather have the gps, WiFi, and screen wake issues resloved. Everyone knows you under promise and over deliver. So Acer should say " we will relaease 3.1 in mid to late july" and actually have it pushed out 1st week of July. Therefore beating and meeting customers expectations. If Acer has a fix for their issues then release them. I can understand it may take time to address Honeycomb issues but things like the screen, wifi, and gps should have been addressed. Oh and cell standby should really be a priority.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Though the screen-wake issues should be easy to fix, the gps and wifi issues would probably require mW increases to the radios, which may or may not be possible depending on the chips and if they can be updated via user updated firmware (has Acer even shown these issues as future fixes?).

The N900 had an option to increase the mW of the wifi (did not help much), but is the only device I have seen that had the option in user settings.

I had all the common issues (screen-on, weak wifi and gps), so returned the A500 and will wait for an update that at least fixes the screen-on. Was looking at the Thrive, but am hearing mixed reports about the display (some reports are it is washed out and blurry-like). I am hoping these are minority opinions (or the A500 issues get fixed).
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Leave by all means just leave. no sense if your making these posts. Do you believe the CEO of Acer is going to respond. Even on 3.0.1 I has content can u tell me what life chaining features are in 3.1 cause I'm running 3.1 right now and nothing all that breath taking
[Acer Iconia A500] Norsky:
:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
If we're talking about looks, the toshiba is one of the uglyest devices I've seen in my life! Such lack of taste and inspiration for design...

Best to get a developer board with 3.1 if you don't care about aesthetics or ergonomics and can't wait for one more week.

Also the screen bug is no bug. It's something you installed. Restore stock and it's gone.

And what wifi issues? Check your settings.

If I were you I'd be more worried about the manual than a minor update.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I'm wondering if the screen-on bug is caused by a particular app i've installed too. The one that comes to mind is tweetdeck since it's constantly checking for feed updates, but I have no idea if there's anything in it
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I for one will wait patiently, or possibly not so patiently(j/k) for Acer to release 3.1. I haven't really had any of the issues with the wifi or the sleep/wake issues at all. My wifi signal is always strong and I think my tablet has rebooted once unexpectedly in the time I've had it. As far as GPS goes, I got an OTA update from Acer about 2 weeks into my ownership that seemed to speed up the GPS fix 100%. Overall I'm very happy with it, but do look forward to resizable widgets.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
so take charge

Flash your Iconia with one of the many awesome builds of 3.1 out there and make some changes - or have patience and wait for Acer to do what they do.

Even on 3.0 code base my tablet has been wonderful to me - if it's not working for you then perhaps the a500 is not the device for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
You choose...

Be like Asus and release early, then cover up the mistakes with 80,000 updates.

Be like Acer and release late, vetting the release before making it public.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
maybe I will, especially if the the screen wake and cell standby isnt addressed. Just think how much longer the battery would last. I guess what I'm really confused about too is how some people received updates to fix issues, but most didn't? WTF. Updates should be on their website available for download. The tablet is solid and the best as of now, but my gripe is with time it has taken to address issues. Acer is slowly losing traction and needs to improve by showing better support to customers that spent 500 on their device.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
That doesn't make any sense since people are using Asus's 3.1 on the Acer and loving it. On the other hand the Asus is cheap with a ton of quality issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Or, return the device and a wait

for the OEM to fix the issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
as far as I'm concerned, all the issues that sock 3.0 had were completely insignificant. I've been getting great wifi reception, and the cell was so simple to fix it's not even worth complaining about.

If you want a 100% purified experience, go get an iPad. If you want something that you'll be able to do what you want with (including fix issues), stay with the A500.

And we're also free to state our own opinions about others' opinions as well. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Trolling is not an opinion, just like swearing is not free speech.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
On the contrary, swearing IS free speech, possibly the best expression of free speech..

After all, WHO gets to define what is swearing anyway.

I've been in some forums and got banned for saying "hell" when some moron said I should say " H - E - double hockey-sticks".

Is 'bloody' swearing (it probably IS in USA bible-belt towns), "bugger", etc.

Swear words come and go (I was told I was showing my age because I said "sod").

No one has the right to define 'swearing' for someone else, hence it becomes free speech to swear!.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
If swearing is free speech, then you don't have free speech on xda.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
I already know that - look at the number of flamed posts just because someone posts a problem he's had with something and all the fanboi-protectors come firing our of the woodwork..
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
That is so true. It's my $500 and I feel my screen shouldn't randomly come on, gps should work as advertised, and updates need to timely. These are the basics I'm not asking for the moon.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogmeister:
just thought i'd chime in. whilst i agree that the screen shouldn't randomly come on ( and i'm a firm believer that its something you've installed thats making it do that... i never had any sort of that problem in 3.0.1) and the gps definitely should work. That being said, I also like the thought of acer taking their time and doing things right... and judging by the release from china working as well as it is on all these EU and US devices i can say they've done quite nicely.

Of course if you want to jump ship and go with the toshiba which is running the same software (or i should say 3.1) as the acer.. or go with the HP which is running a piece of software that nobody knows how well it'll do then by all means, jump ship.

In the end I believe we ALL want acer to release updates on a sooner than later style release cycle but truthfully those issues you post aren't really significant when you look at the other tablets out there right now. Do you really see yourself using a 10" tablet as a gps? i actually gave it a shot one day and wow is it unconventional and inconvenient.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
just because it "hasnt" happened to your device doesnt automatically make it user error, a majority of users have complained about this, from complete stock to app packed devices.

the "release" aka the leak has issues of its own and not exactly fizing the problems the op has. ROMS and leaks dont count as releases. so his point stand on the timely releases.

jumping ship haha. if you spend $500 on something you expect it to work as advertised without all the issues we (unlike your perfect iconia) have had to deal with with no official fix from acer. jumping ship isnt exactly what you call someone trying to get value for their money. if you bought a brand new car that randomly started and ran all your gas down while you were sleeping, you just look the other way right? God forbid you "jump ship" and get what you are paying for.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogmeister:
hey, my point wasn't that my iconia was perfect (although it is in my own eyes <3) my point is no matter which route he chooses to go the issues are going to be worse most likely.

and just because a few people on a forum that is only a very small percentage of owners of the devices have issues doesn't mean its a majority of users. I also never said 3.1 was perfect and fixed everything in the OP but i can assure you the GPS works perfectly fine (i have yet to find someone complain about GPS in a 3.1 release post) nor have i seen anyone complain on the random waking... the only issue there is on most releases that plagues multiple people is the random rebooting if wifi is on and the a500 is in sleep mode, but thats a custom kernel issue and not the stock 3.1 release issue.

and its totally jumping ship, but i can't say i blame anyone who does... but the pursuit of perfection will only end in disappointment in technology so new.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
A majority of users where? Here on XDA where most device owners overly dink with their devices, likely causing (and typically fixing) their own problems? Keep in mind that a majority of A500 owners will never see the XDA website. Heck, a vast majority of users went with the iPad without realizing the A500 even exists. Can't tell you how many people refer to my A500 as "your iPad". It's a tablet, not an iPad -- just like my PC is a PC, not a "Mac".

I haven't had any of the mentioned issues on my A500, just like the real majority likely haven't. That doesn't mean that others haven't had problems, but it's likely FAR from the majority, and it more than likely means that it's because they're running something or configuring something differently than me, or a myriad of other factors that are completely outside of Acer's control. I don't think there's a sample variance on radios or screens that's just bum luck that some people got that hardware and some didn't.

I do think that there's likely significant differences on how people have their wifi router configured, different houses and cars and locations on the planet get better/worse GPS reception, and everyone is running different combinations of apps and different preferences/configurations.

Welcome to troubleshooting -- technology is not perfect (far from it -- yes, even iOS devices). If you're going to own techie devices, you should expect to troubleshoot.

As a career network engineer, this is exactly why i say that every 7-year-old and their grandma shouldn't automatically have a PC, tablet, PS3, iPod, digital camera, Facebook account, and a smartphone. No, I'm not saying that if you're encountering problems with your A500 that you're as techie illiterate as the average grandma, but you should be able to troubleshoot the devices you own and stop automatically blaming the manufacturer, or maybe reconsider how much technology you "have to" have in you life.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I don't know about the GPS but I do know the other issues do not happen. There is no random screen bug, there are no wifi issues.

There only are apps and hacks and rooting that might have allowed the internal settings to change.

I had the random screen on bug until one day I decided to freeze Acer sync - sync got messed up with any other program and unfreezing didn't fix it - restoring my vanilla backup did take care of the screen on bug. However many apps got wiped so I can't really find the culprit.

Don't like your product, return it; but for crying out loud stop inventing bugs and trolling under the 1st amendment.

I just got this brand new 10.1 32GB a few days ago and it was working fine. Yestreday, battery was low and I let it charge over night. In the morning the screen was showing what looked like a OTA update in progress and I let it run (was still charging).

Later when I came back, screen was black and wont turn on again. No reaction at all to whatever I do. Just a black screen.

(shipping back to Samsung is not as easy since I'm not in the U.S. where I've imported it from)
