[General Questions and Answers] mindseed:
My phone, sorted itself out - should I say my wife sorted it out - by mistake. What I think she done was hold down the home button, and then pressed the power off button together and held them untill the phone switched off. When my phone came back on again - she had somehow removed the -Exclamation Triangle of the kernel counter and removed the problems from this post - that I'd been experiencing for abouyt 5 months prior.

Go figure - I now have a SGS2 that works beautifully again and has also had any kernel counter and Custom Rom flashing notifications removed altogether. I wish I knew why this worked, as I'm sure their are many who would like to remove the Triangle without a jig.

The other option that seeemd to work for other people was to clean the MicroUSB port of the device with a dry, clean toothbrush - though this did nothing for my problem. Good luck -I know how frustrating it is.

Help Please

Guys, I am Facing the EXACT same problem.

1.Driving mode on/off automatically

2.Showing a lockscreen which shouldn't have existed on this planet.

3.Hanging up unconditionally. Have to restart phone.

4.Sudden "mtp connections" and because of that "Media Scanner"

I own a Galaxy note just 1 month old! I was so angry that i wanted to sell this. But i couldn't adapt to any other smaller screens so, guess ill try fixing this.

1.It definitely is something related to usb port (Since i cannot charge my phone, i use an external charger)

2.Took my beloved to a samsung service centre, they said phone is waterlogged and showed me the motherboard, saying"IC MIGHT be damaged"

3.Cost for repair - $200

4.Cannot afford that. I am guessing they were bluffing cause i saw the shiniest motherboard ever

5.Please fix this, or ill be stuck with a Nokia 500 !!

6.I can, however afford changing the usb connector, anyone successful with that?

Edit: Did my homework and found out that its definitely a usb port problem. Solution:Clean the usb port. Ill try try it and get back to you ppl. Oh and about 20% of the world's population is facing the same problem.

Edit(2): SOLVED!!!

1. Turn Off phone

2. Remove battery.

3.Take a Brush with hard bristles(Toothbrush/Artist's Brush)

4.Take a pin.

5.Take your own sweet 15mins to perfectly clean the micro usb port using the brush. Nicely and Tidily, give all possible strokes to flawlessly remove any dirt in there.

4.Then take your pin(Be careful here) and gently insert it into the gap between that small metallic micro slab and the bottom part of the usb Connector and gently move it up, VERY GENTLY!!!

5.Clean the battery's charging plates using a cloth, i used my own T-Shirt.

6.Put battery in and REBOOT.

7.Clean the charging pin of the charger using the safety pin/Brush or both.

I have it on for 15mins and no problems. Removed and put the charger again and again, still no problem. After waiting for 1 week, i am able to charge it using its charger! Now lets see whether it lasts......:-/

Edit(3): So, my phone acted up again last night, with driving mode and car dock. I used the pin solution, No problem till now. its Peacefully charging. Bah! it really is annoying :(

Edit(4): Now, its been 24 hours since my last solution, and phone hasnt acted strange. I guess after another 12 hours ill rule out the permanent solution. Which i used.

Well.. I'm having similar issue. Battery drain and random driving mode/voice search sometimes. It all started after last OTA update and rooting without changing a ROM to custom. I've clean out USB port and no result. Maybe it's time to scan system with AV or unroot device...

[General Questions and Answers] ashwinrajsr:
ckeswar critics,

I had the same issues 2 weeks after i bought my galaxy s2. Took it to Samsung customer care and they replaced the micro usb port. Haven't had a single issue since.

PS: Try to dry out the port and the phone if it is a water logging issue. I used a hair drier to do that. Luckily the tab that indicates water damage hadn't changed colour.
[General Questions and Answers] archer2009:
Had same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Note - randomly going in and out of driving mode, used a dry, soft toothbrush to clean out the USB Charging port, so far so good.

Make sure to flick the bristles of the toothbrush back and forth with your thumb first as you might see a lot of dust fly off of it.

Don't use anything hard like a pin or needle as you might scratch the contacts.
[General Questions and Answers] sterpas:
Same here with my gs2... Resolved the issue using some contact spray on my micro USB port.
[General Questions and Answers] Amosthecoolboy:
It's just a software problem, the reasons might be:-

1) you might have opened and closed some huge apps randomly and very rudely..

2) You are low on space on the internal MMC Card

3) Your phone might be performing the restarting apps re scheduler

Solutions:-

1)Factory Data reset will not help as the cache section might be corrupt.. neither the android 3e will help...

2) a)Use odin and download the Latest firmware package from Sammobile's Website.

b) for tutorial on flashing, go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488942.

c) Do not touch the phone after processes and restart was observed...

d) Again get into download mode and re flash the same Firmware again...

e) Restart the phone holding the HOME key, (it won't do anything by itself)

f) it will surely fix your Phone

3) Message me if any problem persists...

Hi,

When I play music on me phone, via a bluetooth music device, the music has dropout's. It doesn't seem to be a signal strenth problem, as it still doesn't work if the phone is very near to the device.

I've tryid with SE's own Bluetooth loudspeaker and a bluetooth receiver from Belkin..

Is that a known issue?

I'm on Android ver 2.1

All the best, Kent.

[HTC EVO 3D] abrown0809:
Hello All. My girlfriend just got an HTC EVO 3D. The phone was absolute crap. Overheating, spotty to zero 3g/4g, won't come out of sleep. You all know the issues, it had all of them. I went with her to the sprint store and after fighting the good fight, they gave us a new one. It works perfectly. I did a speedtest. The phone got 2000-3000 kbps. It should be more considering its 4g, but its a huge upgrade from the previous 130kbps we were getting on the old one. Doesn't get hot anymore. Battery life is better. The signal is great. Full 4g most of the time. We live in NYC btw, signal is great here for all carriers, which is why I immediately knew something was up when the old evo 3d couldn't get a good signal. If you guys get it exchanged, you might get lucky and get a better evo 3d. We didn't test GPS yes, but when we do I'll report back.

Its a great phone, you guys should enjoy it.
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
My phone doesn't have any problems other than the camera, since sometimes it freezes when I take a lot pictures after another. I'm hoping that they fix it in a software update or something since my phone doesn't seem to have other problems that people have.
[HTC EVO 3D] friedCELLS:
This is true. I got a 3D about 6 days ago and had nothing but problems. Battery draining super fast, camera freezing up, apps that were moved to SD were disappearing on the home screen, 4g was not working, and the worst part was that I could only get a max of 150 kbps on 3g using speedtest! More often around 100 or less kbps. Unusable! Would take 5 minutes just to download a simple app. After 3 trips to Sprint store, several "updates", several hard resets, and a few calls and comparing side by side with an Epic 4g that was getting 1500 kbps on the same network in the same spot on 3g while I got 100 kbps, I had enough of people not knowing what was going on with my phone and I brought it back to RadioShack and exchanged for another Evo 3d. Problem solved! 3g is at 1000-1500 kbps now. 4g is at over 10000 kbps most of the time. Apps don't disappear. Not sure about battery yet but I'm convinced that will be better too. I think there is a big batch of botched Evo 3d's out there. Just changing mine even with all the same apps, it made a world of difference. If you are still within your 14 or 30 days (not sure how long you have) and your Evo is sucking, exchange it. Show them how bad it is. Hopefully you get one of the good ones. Good luck
[HTC EVO 3D] abrown0809:
HTC's first big shipment was probably a really bad batch. I called HTC just to see if they know of these issue and if they are workin on a update for them and the rep just kept telling its sprints network giving us the terrible signal, that every device that uses radio waves will heat up and all these other B.S. reasons as to why the phone was acting up.
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
I received my phone two days before launch and haven't come across any of the issues people have been complaining about.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
3g speed is decent not the best but mostly due to the area I'm in no heat issues. Phone works great no problem for me love it.
[HTC EVO 3D] twin001:
My EVO3d has been awesome to say the least. I went 24 hours unplugged this weekend with 11 hours wake time and still had 49% battery left. No overheating problems, no camera problems, no screen problems. Phone is smooth and fast. I have tried the temp root a few times but I keep reverting back to stock. I'll wait for the bootloader to officially be unlocked and some real ROM's to start showing up. 3G speeds could be faster, but I think that's more of a network issue than a phone issue. The OG EVO had a few issues when it was released, but Sprint and HTC pushed out a few updates to the software and radios and it worked much better. Just give it a little time and they will get the bugs worked out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserPass:
So I had my Evo 4g rooted with Unrevoked3, had some nice ROMs and all that fun bling stuff for a few months without a hitch. Yesterday I had my number changed, didn't bother returning to stock or anything. I couldn't dial out or send texts (but could send texts) but had access to the mobile network. So I unrooted, returned to stock (no OTA cuz I intend to root it again), ran through Sprint's activation again and still exact same issue.

I get this message when I attempt dialing out and also when I dial my new number from a diff line: "We could not complete your call. Please try again." Google voice works fine though - but again, so does the mobile network.

Sprint customer service is no help - and right now the Sprint store is closed, so here I be. Any help would be appreciated.

It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

[Epic 4G General] darksideauto:
I feel that when you make purchase like a cellphone you should do some research first. Especially about signal quality. Im not upset about the 2 mile radius of 4g I get in davenport, iowa. I knew it was weak. And I know that signal quality can drop alot by going inside a building or even in a car. I know from my experience that 4g in chicago and orlando has far exceeded my expectations. Either deal with it or go away. Complaints here wont make your 4g better.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
My honest opinion:

It was a bold and possibly masterful move which serves to fulfill both a short and long-term goal.

In the short-term, it allowed them to lay claim to being the first US carrier to feature "4g". In hindsight this may seem trivial, but it had the immediate impact of gaining a lot of new and upgrading subscribers locked into 2 year contracts due only to the fact that they were the only ones around with 4g, and the idea sounded intriguing to many users. They of course had to have known of wimax's poor performance compared to LTE, but a company (clearwire) had already laid some groundwork so it would allow them a window to be the only one with 4g. That, combined with my next reason, is why I think they went with wimax. A pretty bold move by only the 3rd largest wireless carrier.

The long-term goal and the possibly masterful explantion deals with, of course as we've all heard before, the possibility that Sprint may convert their iden network (which is huge) to LTE. If/when Sprint officially confirms this, it should solidify my thoery. What I have learned here is that wimax and LTE can operate simultaneously on a device. This would be an ideal setup as a user can have the best of both worlds: wimax with it's higher operating frequency has the potential to have a higher data density, where as LTE provides much better building and terrain penetration with it's lower frequency. Should Sprint in fact decide to do this, they would near instantly have the largest and possibly most reliable 4g network.

This could also possibly explain Sprint's previously sudden decision to go with wimax when it had appeared they were dead set on LTE. It seems very possible that the idea might have popped in to their head back when all this debate was happening, and after crunching the numbers decided they could afford such a longterm plan. The fruition of this down-the-road decision combined with the boost they got in the short-run from being the first 4g carrier would decisively increase both their stature an their revenue.

This is, of course, entirely speculation and conjecture. But remember that Dan Hesse is no idiot.

Stupid double post
[Epic 4G General] Xiutehcuhtli:
My 4g kills 3g. Two days ago I was downloading at just under 10000 Kbps, and I routinely get 6500-7000 outside and 2500-4500 inside buildings. This is easily 4-15x faster than the 600-800 I get on 3g. I can tether to my laptop at my house and stream Netflix without constant interruptions and buffering.

I cannot and will not complain about data speeds over 4g.

Please excuse any erors or typos as this massage was sent from my mobil device.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Same here. I find 3G almost unusuable since they basically launched 4G in my area the week Epic came out. 5000-8000 kbps download and a steady 1400 kbps upload speed. If you haven't had it yet then that's probably better because its worse to have it for a brief time then have to give it up
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
The only thing Wimax is faster than is ATT "4G" joke but ATT is still better because it's actually 3G that you can use all the time. Tmo "4G" is faster than than wimax and Verizon is faster than any other carrier. So other than wasting a lot of money that they don't have, I don't see why Sprint kept building wimax towers after they saw how poor the frequency was. And before everyone goes bananas with "sprint has truly unlimited" blah blah blah, that's not going to work forever. Their 3G network is so far behind all the other carriers and it's not getting any better.

Hi, I searched the forums and can't find an answer for my softbrick. I was trying to push a recovery file into system/bin after i changed recovery to recovery.bak. I clicked R/W when I pushed it, but when I looked again it was still R/O and the recovery.bin i pushed was 0.00kb (guessing it didn't go through).
