[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
My Optimus 3D has suddenly developed some serious problems and I have no idea what is going on.

First indication was Power Off refused to work, it would blank the screen but the backlight and capacitive button light would remain on forever. So I have had to force off by holding the power button.

After doing this a few times its now taking AGES to finish bootup and most of the widgets are working sporadically. One minute they will be working, the next they won't and might respond to a touch half an hour later. Yet, a few of them still work fine. I have tested using LG Home as well as Launcher Pro, the same problem occurs on both.

Worst problem of all though is typing has stopped working. First time it did it I simply rebooted and it worked again, but its stopped functioning again and rebooting every day is unacceptable when it was fine before.

Basically any text input form I press, the keyboard pops up and I start typing, but the text doesn't go into the text input field. This is with any keyboard selected.

This is really frustrating as prior to these problems I was really loving this phone and hardly ever had to reboot it.

It seems it all started after something caused the phone to reboot itself in the night (the bootup jingle woke me but I was too tired to check) and then I think it locked up during the reboot as battery monitor widget shows no log entries after the reboot, just the battery suddenly at 100% again as I charged it before powering it back up the next day.

I would prefer to know how to fix it in case it happens again but if I am forced to restore to factory settings, any advise for what and how to backup what is on there so I have minimal work to get it back to this state (hopefully without the glitches)?

I have had both internal and external SD mounted over Mass Storage and done an error check from Windows on them which found no errors, as I suspected it was corruption on internal SD but clearly not.

The weird thing is, other than the above the phone works fine - but its fairly useless when I can't type on it and I am concerned the widgets hanging is degrading the battery life.
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
Flash a clean stock rom and see if it fixes it
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
I actually figured out what is wrong and its bizarre. It was my router!

Basically I upgraded DD-WRT to the latest version (which has since been taken offline so obviously buggy) and it caused all the above symptoms. The instant I disconnected from WiFi all events which were meant to happen suddenly happened all at the same time, then everything was back to normal. Connect to WiFi and it hangs again.

I have no idea how a bug on my router can cause such a wide variety of problems but there you go. Downgraded the router back to the previous firmware and all is well again.
[LG Optimus 3D] cleanoff:
I briefly had the "no text input" error happening after i removed some bloatware with root explorer. It was really starting to irritate me but when i turned the phone on it's side it worked again and has never stuffed up since!

Just thought I'd share my experience.
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
Well unfortunately I was wrong, problem started again today and I even tested at a friends house. Basically, when connected to WiFi my phone goes AWOL with widgets hanging and text input randomly stopping working.

Earlier to search marketplace I had to disconnect from WiFi, type the search string, reconnect, purchase, disconnect (it refused to download) and use HSDPA instead. This is really frustrating as I'm about to get 40Mbit broadband which is going to suck being forced to use T-Slowbiles pathetic 1Mbit HSDPA to download instead. Perhaps not the end of the world, but its really really weird.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
Hello android fellas..i am an sgs 2 owner and a log time android user..for the most of android devices the most screen time i could ever get is 5 hours (screen on, not idle..idle means ntn..with uv i can get week++)..

So the question i rise here is, will ice cream sandwitch help our battery effeciency with hw acceleration?i noticed that my phone can do as much as 10 hours+ of video playback, but can only surf the web for around 4-4,5 ...which is amazingly ridiculous..if i let the phone idle , with screen turned on, at all times(there are actually apps to do that) i can get almost 11 hours of screen on time..but if i use my phone to as much as navigate through menus, i am lucky if i get 30% of that time.

That led me to the conclusion that cpu usage for 2d ui elements drawing is at best idiotic, but other than that, its that its not my device(s) problem..its the os that sucks it up..

So, do you believe, that ICS will fix that?is there hope on the horizon?4 hours screen on time/day , just wont cut it for a tought work day for me..

( i would like to close that section by saying that i am a 2 year android user and i know what i need to shut down, when to have on and what so that my batt is at its max effeciency..)

Opinions please? :) Will our GPUs make us look less embarassing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Unlikely... partially, because the majority of actions needed by a web browser is unable to utilize the GPU (it's really only usable for compositing and rendering, which occurs surprisingly seldom outside of games: really only while the document loads... of course that's bound to change at some point, but for now, there really isn't much to gain other than more fluid animations), but mostly because it's a bit of an unfair comparison: Video playback today is more or less handled by special-purpose silicon, not what you'd usually call "The GPU".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
no, i am aware that java still needs to be rendered in cpu... but i was not only bein referred to in browsing...menu browsing as well..ui navigation should be humongousl benetited am i right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Accelerated is usually faster and smoother, especially multiple layers benefit greatly from additional acceleration (note however, that Android already uses that in most cases)... it just doesn't really translate to power saving.

Java doesn't really have anything to do with that: it may put a bit of additional load on the CPU, but that's not what's eating your battery, especially since virtually all computation-intensive parts of Android are written in C++. The real problem is that while the GPU is faster in these "burst" situations when there's suddenly a whole lot of layers to render, it's hard to predict those. So the CPU most always run at an acceptable rate... which in the end often means that the accelerated version uses more power since the system isn't able to clock down the CPU nor the GPU.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
Damn..The load that cpu took from being less effecient to draw 2d, was my best explaination as to why our batteries suck so much..

It is definately not the phones..As i said earlier if i let the phone screen on, just idling, at, say auto brighness, it can go for 10-11 hours..but if during that time i, as much as navigate at menus, or settings , or whatever ui...BAM..4-5,5 hours maximum..

It HAS to be something wrong with the os..heck i can do 10 hours of .avi playback on a single charge , but i cannot go over 5 for just panning around the app drawer..(and my screen is amoled so it greatly benefits from black background of the drawer)...

If you could shed some light to that, for me i'd love ya even more!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
Noticed that after I rooted, my clock no longer comes up if I tap on it from the home screen. The sense clock/weather widget. Is there a way to fix this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cthorson910:
I had this issue before rooting. My phone started uninstalling different apps. I just did factory resets to get them back, but now that you are rooted, look in the android development section and find a rom you like and flash it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] helowrenchturn2:
here's the .apk for the deskclock from my old eris....i had the same problem so i just pulled this one from my old phone and pushed it to my Dinc2 using adb. the picture button doesnt work but the alarm, music and home do.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shanky0506:
I noticed this last night after initially flashing a custom ROM.

Have you used a program like Titanium BAckup? If so, I would check that to see if any programs are 'frozen'. My clock was, so I thawed it and the widget works perfectly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Delete, duplicate post... opps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
If you have Titanium Backup, check the clock app, more than likely, it will need to be "Defrosted". That should get you back up and running :cool:

Edit... Didn't notice the above post :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
Ha, thanks guys. It was frozen in Titanium. Why was it frozen in the first place?

thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Not sure why it's frozen... My clock quit before I rooted, but after rooting and installing Titanium I took a look and it was frozen (I had heard about the unfreezing method from another post, and sure enough, it worked). My news was also frozen as well, crazy :rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] helowrenchturn2:
Yep, fixed mine too
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x016x:
Hey guys. I just recently updated my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 for use with T-Mobile 3G Data. I originally bought my X10 locked to AT&T but I had the phone software unlocked for like $50 bucks to use it with T-Mobile. Can anyone help me out? I popped my sim card in my brother's G2X and it connected to the T-Mobile 4G tower just fine but it won't connect to the 3G towers at all on my X10. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMeister234:
Do a Google search for apn of tmobile.

Edit: also you have a phone that is on the wrong frequencies. Tmobile uses 1700, at&t Uses 850/something else.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x016x:
I entered the proper APN settings and it's still not working. Since it was the AT&T Xperia X10, could that be the reason why it's not working registering on the T-Mobile 3G towers?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patricks_book:
Go to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Preferred Network mode/Click GSM/WCDMA preferred.Then go to Network Operators/Wait to connect if not go to Search mode/Select Automatically/Search Networks. It should connect to three networks

(house icon) 3g an be Checked/(house icon) 2g DR/ (no icon) 2g that's your sms/mms.

Although you may only have two Networks (icons) with the primary one checked or you well be roaming. Also X10a an X10i have differences in bands so you may have to change your Firmware/Baseband/Rom. :rolleyes:

Also you can check your friends Access Point Names and try that.

Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Name/Menu/Add APN.

And put in the Exact settings/Menu/Save/Reboot Phone.

You may have to what a few to connect a minute or two.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x016x:
I'm bummed out, no matter what I do, my phone simply won't connect to the T-Mobile 3G towers in my area. Since this was the AT&T Xperia X10, it doesn't support the same 3G bands as T-Mobile's. Could I be wrong? I've tried everything. I flashed the stock 2.1 rom on it and it still couldn't read. It kept registering me on T-Mobile 2G with E on the status bar. Are there actual Sony Ericsson Xperia X10s that support T-Mobile 3G US?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
There are 3 different types of x10's;

the x10i, x10a, and that Japanese one (s0-01b?).

They all use different frequencies (can't recall them off the top of my head).

Afaik, AT&T uses x10a's because they work with the frequencies that at&t broadcast 3g on. T-Mobile uses x10i's because they work on the frequencies that T-Mobile broadcast 3g on. Because you got the x10 from at&t, its very likely that you have an x10a, which will not work with T-Mobile.

Flashing roms, kernels, basebands, whatever CAN NOT change this. The frequencies are set in the actual chip on the motherboard. The only way to change this is to buy an x10i unfortunately. :(
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
is there one out?

i dont want to have to sbf to 2.3.340 or sbf 4.5.596 just to do the ota to get back to 4.5.602 each time?

there should be a 4.5.602 by now shouldnt there?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
There's never an alloted time between when an update gets released and when we get the SBF file.

We can hope that it will be leaked soon; however, it may just be as well that you use the .596 SBF then update as the update file isn't large, and you wouldn't be able to obtain root either way.

If you're interested though the hour that one becomes available I will announce it here on Droid X General =D
[Droid X General] KruseLudsMobile:
I am turning purple...

I am turning purple holding my breath...

(Gosh, arent the vultures here so ungrateful!)
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
yea im intrested.

with all the flashing i would like it to be as simple as possible.

one sbf file to get back to stock would always be great.
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
Google 602 without SBF.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
but i want the sbf

i dont want the root (at this point anyhow)
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
is there really gonna be an SBF for such a small update? It's an 11mb zip file that mainly updates the baseband.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
i dont know.

if you are on 2.3.340 (OTA) and you then check for updates....does it find the .602 update and update you directly from there or dies it update you to .596 first then restart your phone and check for updates again and finds .602 and updates you and restarts your phone again?

if it goes straight to .602 from 2.3.340 with only one restart then that would mean there is a single sbf for .602 that is probably around 110MB wouldnt it?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I agree with the above post, it doesn't seem that a large SBF file would be released for such a small update; however, with Big Red you can never be sure. Until someone such as p3droid can confirm or deny that we will be getting an SBF file we will just have to wait.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
it should be an easy test*

do what i just mentioned in this quote
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
I don't think it will jump you from Froyo to 602 GB. The OTA download time was really fast so its really a minor update. But stranger things have happened.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
your download time was QUICK because you were on 4.5.596

try it from 2.3.340
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
no offense but if i'm going back down to 2.3.340 i might as well install CM7 so i'd rather not.

I did notice a strange thing though, the white 3G icon is useable since I updated to 602. Its almost like its a weaker 3G indicator but still 3G and then there is the normal blue 3G icon. and yes the 1X still shows up so its not a replacement for that.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
well then dont imply that since the update was a small update that it must be 2 seperate updates and then i wont say go back to 2.3.340 to see if there is only one update to 4.5.602

i already know that.

that is why i started this thread.
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
no need to get snippy, I can imply what everyone is saying and has posted, its a minor 11mb update for GB. So if you are on Froyo it will do nothing because it updates issues within GB. Just like if you were on Windows XP and a minor update for Windows 7 came up it would not affect you or bring you up to Windows 7.

[Droid X General] rocko73:
When .602 first came out it was a seperate 11 mb file for anyone coming from 2.3.340.

So if you checked update on froyo you downloaded the large .596, rebooted, checked again then it downloaded .602. Now if you do the same, it will download the large combined .602 directly if your are on froyo.

I would like an SBF also.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
now thats what i am talking about

we want the sbf :)
[Droid X General] sp3cial3dfr3d:
dont know if its right place but plz help with my .602

i had 4.5.602 on my droid x i was using apex for .602 then i lost my google talk after trying to switch to another rom still with no google talk i decided to spf i use .596 to try all over then my battrey died so i had to cut my wire do the whole black to neg red to pos got by battrey back up but all i get is bootloop tryed sevral sbf files on rsd lite 5.3.1 tryed sbf 2.2.34 sbf for a 4.5.596 a 1.13.6.2 all did nothing

plz help me only phone i have cant replace im broke
[Droid X General] rocko73:
It now goes straight to .602 from Froyo. The first week or so it went to .596 then .602.
[Droid X General] skrribble:
I can confirm this.... I've now taken the .602 ota update straight from an sbfed .340 twice on my way to CM7 DX GB.... and the Droid 3 root method (on linux or windows) works flawlessly on the .602 ota
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
ha...

i have two droid-x`s, one i already flashed when the ota .602 came out....the other i am doing now.

im flashing 4.5.596 as we speak.

im thinking sure wish that 4.5.602 sbf was here so i didnt have to let it boot all the way and then do the other ota to .602 and reboot

well at least it gave me time to come back here and check the thread.

at least some people can confirm .602 is one large ota update now.

that is good

Just loaded up htc-msm-linux 20110819_183957 from glemsom auto-build service on my TP2. I am curious if the functionality of the LEDs has been changed in this version as I only see an amber LED when charging (no green sleep, and no active amber).

For the last (several) kernel drops I have had no sleep problems.

I see that there was a patch related to the led regime.

Hi,

I recently installed magldr booting to my HTC HD2 and the Android 2.3.5. But my battery somehow drain to 0. Now When I'm trying to turn on my phone it will restart at the beginning?

I read that its something related with magldr and the battery. Is there anyway I can solve this?

What do you mean starts at the beginning?

You need to try and clarify your issue, but I think that if you can boot up into Android then connect the charger, you can charge the battery, but Magldr does not support charging when off.

if you installed the apk, you can just uninstall it from applications otherwise i don't think you can. Even if you do manage to do it it would probably update itself again.

The new market has some nice features, but I agree that out is pretty slow.I noticed that using SSH tunnel speeds up things.probably three amount of DNS requests is pretty high and handled quicker this way not using wifi.anyways a upgrade is really required and I am sure they will speed things in the best future (hopefully).

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IS THERE A STABLE LAUNCHER? I mean seriously, I'm tired of my launchers crashing all gosh darn day. Before you recommend, here's the list-

launcherPro- awesome but crashes periodically (alot)

TW- okay but also crashes periodically (not as much)

adw- to laggy and slow (haven't used enough to know about crashes)

Regina- crashes every few minutes (3 max)

Zeam launcher- great- crahes least but crashes when attempting landscape-portrait transistion, and has almost no features at all

Is this an inherent problem with the Android OS?-Or, are all these acclaimed launchers just crap. Our sk4gs have some beefy hardware so performance of the device is not it.
