if you have some compressed air i'd blow it in the sim card slot, but thats probably not the problem i would take it to AT&T and try to get a new sim card or have them look at your phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] egomezmorales:
Is the sd/sim cover flush?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Is it the SD card that came with the phone, or one you bought separately?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I had to go get a new SIM card today because the original was not connecting. It initially didn't enable a network signal, so the gal rebooted my phone....and of course saw my custom boot animation and status icons and what not...I don't think she had seen a rooted phone before...said something about "you've really bling'd this thing out haven't you? This is the most customized phone I have ever seen"... [sheepish grin]

Pull out the batery and turn on with the sim card inside.

Try the battery pull mentioned above. If it keeps happening then try getting a new sim from att. If the issue persist then call att they will more then likely replace the phone.

Does anyone else experience this with the new leaked 2.3.4 HKTW build? Or is it just my Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kix08:
Yeah I exp. It as well but I notice my screen becomes in responsive and so do the touch keys. Only the power button and volume rocker work.

I've only experienced this while on a phone call though to be honest. Like when I'm on hold and I'm.checking Facebook or I'm looking something up on the web while on a call. But I definitely think it's a bug in hktw build 2.3.4 cause I beverage had a problem before with it.

I tried looking through the forums and haven't seen any other complaints untilled this one so maybe its just a few of us. Can any one else confirm this or is there a fix some where?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcph:
Mine did that already in 2.2 , back then the fix was to lock and unlock the screen. That would always fix the issue, at least until next time. Now in 2.3.4, it still happens, but if I wait 15-20 seconds it usually fixes itself. Looks like Motorola applied some fixes but didn't fix the issue completely.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexctk:
well guys, i solve the problem for now....

solution:

1º make sure that you have a backup prior to the problem (original stock or other thing), if not you might have to install the room from set one.

2º retrieve you sd card, make a backup of some things that you dont want to lose (like pictures, ring tones, mp3 etc) and leave a folder with a backup that you have, next format sd card in fat32 and put the things that you save (note, dont do all the backup of sd card, like the folders with .com... and android folders etc)

3º go to clockworkmod recovery, by restarting to recovery, wipe all data, like the firs time you install the custom rom, now go to backup and restore and do restore to your backup.

4º Restart and voila, that works for me...i figure that was some app that might cause the problem,(thinking on ndrive 11) im going to test now, but it works.

cheers and post something that might help some one

Hi guys, First of all HAPPY CANADA DAY! :)

I have a rogers branded Sony Ericsson phone with original firmware. But I have removed some bloatwares from Rogers and Golf game.

My phone have been noticing me about 2.3.3 firmware update. The phone itself also downloads, installs it. But after that process, the phone starts like normal and says "Couldn't update" message.

I tried resetting phone and tried many methods. Now the phone also doesn't display "Connect to Phone memory" in Notification area (it charges, but apparently doesn't connect to PC) :/

What's wrong?
[Xperia Arc General] CarbonX13:
You probably modified some of the system files in a way. Anything like removing bloatware with Titanium Backup will cause the update to fail. If you want to root your phone, you'll need to re-flash the Rogers 2.3.2 ROM back, root it with GingerBreak, and then perform the update to 2.3.3.

If you don't want to root, just use FlashTool to flash the Rogers 2.3.3 ROM.
[Xperia Arc General] binku:
Yeah, that's what I thought. Where can I find 2.3.2 Rogers ROM and how can I re-flash the platform? (the phone doesn't show connected to PC as well). :(

Skype video quality is bad, all image in little squares, and it took about 1Mb of traffic for 1 minute of video chat.

gTalk video is much-much better, the image is clear but it took about 6Mb of traffic for 1 minute.

Since 3G is payed by traffic - it's up to you what to choose, nice video-quality or nice monthly bill. :)

I know the linux and android kernel are different, but not much if you can already chroot into ubuntu. My question is, how do I make/compile a kernel that can boot with Ubuntu NATIVELY? Not chroot, but flash to the internel memory (maybe have to cut some bloatware out for it to fit). Or could I even just use a kernel from android?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpyFi:

[Epic 4G Android Development] josidhe:
I get the impression this would be a 10x greater effort than a build of Cyanogenmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
How so? To my understanding, TECHNICALLY we could have cyanogenmod 6, correct? Since we have froyo source...but thats not the point. With a stripped down linux distro (768mb if we could merge data and system partitions together), and a kernel built for the phone (linux kernel, not android) it should be COMPLETELY possible. My question atm is, how could I compile a kernel compatible with linux (or will the android one work)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You mean something like this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892877
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
No, thats the chroot+vnc method. Basically that runs android in a vm, which is not what I am talking about. I mean installing linux to the internal memory, completely removing android. That way linux could use all 512mb of ram, the only downside is losing android.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I think that would run a heavy risk of bricking the device since you'd have to overwrite the entire memory.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Maybe, but if you just flashed the root file system to the system (256mb), you would still have the bootloader recovery etc. partitions. Or I'm not exactly sure, maybe delete the data and system partitions and create a new 768mb partition. The only problem is I cant find anything to handle the partitions, fastboot is the closest, and fastboot doesn't work/isnt supported.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
You're delving into an area that already has been delved in before. Considering the fact nobody has gotten this working ever, I would go so far as to say you're wasting your time. By all mean have at it, but keep in mind you will need a linux kernel modified in such a way that it will completely support this hardware or it would be useless. Good luck to you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/

^^^That is the type of kernel suitable for a distro like Ubuntu, correct? Building a kernel with the samsung sources using that guide, should give me a kernel that can be used with linux, correct? I don't see why it is so hard... If you can port linux to a device such as the hd2 whats so different about running it on the epic? Linux and android are very close... the only problem I'm having is finding a way to get a .img to the device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
not to mention a few of the drivers are closed source and aren't likely to be compatible with any other kernel version be it one of samsung's kernels or one from linux.....that isn't to say it is impossible but definitely a hurdle
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
the first line of that article..."Since the launch of the unlock boot loader site, we have received a lot of really great feedback."

we do not have a modified boot loader and our bootloader is a 2 stage process...i believe the first one is efuse protected...which unless exploited cannot be modified...i'm not sure what kind of checking is done to the secondary bootloader..but one mistake with either of these files you have yourself an expensive paperweight that odin will not fix (no download mode)

edit: i see that site goes on to talk about rebuilding the kernel but still important to remember that stuff about our bootloaders
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
So even if the kernel worked, the drivers were perfect (which wouldn't be, I know that) and I somehow got an image to the phone it wouldn't boot because of the bootloader?

It can be done but it's not an easy task. This guy has Ubuntu natively booting on the Galaxy Tab.

He's been working on it for a long time and I still don't think it's anywhere close to fully functional, it probably never will be.

Ubuntu + Mobile Phones just weren't meant to be. However.. as this shows... if you devote enough hours to something, anything is "sorta" possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
There's a thread in the fascinate forum that's relevant to this, about building jigs.

The issue is, as you mentioned, the bootloader. Apparently, it is much like the BIOS on a PC, where you have the option to boot up from different sources. However, our bootloader has those options removed (it actually might have been disabled by hardware, but I can't remember), and only includes normal bootup, recovery kernel, and the kernel/partition that handles download mode.

Obviously you know all this. The developer there is working on a solution, and it could end up being either a software or hardware hack. I suggest you search for the thread (I would if I wasn't on my app).

However, this is relevant because his goal is different than yours, but will most likely be your solution. Rather than modifying the bootloader to handle a larger partition or a linux kernel, it would be easier to get the bootloader to do something it was intended to do back at the factory: boot from USB. There are unused pin configurations that were meant for this, and if enabled could allow a lot of possibilities. Booting ubuntu would be just the tip of the iceberg.

The developer actually has gotten as far as getting a boot log from the very first, barebone bootloader (whatever the acronym is), and shows it searching for usb host or whatever. I'm gonna see if I can dig up the link.

EDIT: er, maybe not fascinate forum, I'm having trouble finding it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Starfox:
Try searching for the SGS Ubuntu attempts. I know that someonne in #ubuntu-arm has gotten it to a usable state on his SGS. However, be prepared to lose functionality.

Question is why. There won't be an accelerated X server, and if you are looking to target a embedded linux surely there are better systems out there. You'll also have to deal with the keymappings afaik because that's apparently dealt through system_server via keymaps, and not the kernel.
