I have a belkin and it works fine on it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nrage23:
I have the same and no issues
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
Well it is true that the bionic rules all machines now isnt it.

I too have a linsys router and i have wpa2 encryption and my bionic connected without even putting in my password, not sure if google remembers my settings from my droid, i hope just anyone cant access my system lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
You stole my quote damn you. I was gonna say that :-(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mikecheat04:
Well damn seems I'm the only one with this problem. I'll have to go test this out with some other wireless N routers and see what results I get. For now I have my router handicapped at G speeds just so I can get my phone to work. May try to return the phone....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ninjagonepostal:
No... The issue where these guys are getting their Bionic to reboot routers are all id10t errors. I've never even seen a device restart (except an Android) just because a connection was made to something. Also look at the brand. EnGenius, guys, really? Problem exists because user bought no name hardware. That statement almost includes D-Link as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mikecheat04:
I'm sure there are a ton of things that happen every day you've never seen, doesn't mean they don't happen or aren't true. And I didn't buy either of those pieces of equipment, they were provided by my ISP. Don't appreciate you calling me an idiot either.

Anyways...I did some more testing and I couldn't get the Dlink to do it any more, maybe I got confused about that one. I did test two other EnGenius routers and it still happens with them. I've since been given an Asus router that has wireless N and it's working great! So this just seems to be a glitch with EnGenius routers. Besides this one weird glitch it was a great router.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ITGuy11:
You are not crazy! My Bionic connects to my D-Link access point and it doesn't reboot the router, but it locks up Internet traffic on all other connected devices and will never connect itself, even though it receives a valid IP address. Same thing occurred with my X, but not my Sammy Charge so it is something particular to moto hardware.

Not a huge deal for me cause I have a Verizon tower less than a mile from my house.

When I get time, I will dig through my access points logfiles.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ninjagonepostal:
I did not call you an idiot sir. Just because someone makes an id10t error does not mean they are an idiot. Just means they goofed and I'm sorry you felt that way about my statement.

As far as the EnGenius routers go, are there any awkward default settings on the routers? Maybe a weird default mtu, or something along the lines of an awkward security measure? Just trying to fuel the solution train. Enjoy your day.

Bionic and Wireless N

Linksys WRT160N

The Bionic would connect to the router then not pass any data. I changed the router mode from mixed bgn to mixed bg and the issue was resolved. I was able to connect and get data on bg.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] abuttino:
I have a lot of problems connecting to my n router with a secondary g router in the house.

They both have the ssid hidden and the n router is behind a ISA firewall and has the IP address assigned by windows server 2008 r2's dhcp server with a static address assigned to the Mac address.

I do admit that this is a very intricate setup but fail to see why the phone makes the ssid disappear after one connection.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigsapz:
That's just way to complicated of a setup. Your Bionic said "f all that, i'm just rebootin that BS".

DoMinated.

iv'e seen this before, in fact i have a router that does this, it does it with my bionic, and my wife's laptop... it can go a few days, or 5 minutes and then poof reboot, had to move the wife's laptop to another router that didn't crash like that, my main router that crashes is a WHR-HP-GN running the latest brainslayer build of dd-wrt while the one that doesn't crash is a netgear WNR3500L samknows edition... i don't have a fix for it sorry. but maybe you can rest easier knowing that you aren't completely insane, oh btw, thanks a lot, my router had been doing its thing and i didn't know why, i guess i hadn't put that together yet... oh its not crashing either, its just the wifi is dropping it should come back after a little while, and wired shouldn't have any issues.. that's how it goes with dd-wrt installed anyhow.

i bet all of like 5 people have ever even seen that happen before... i have *no* idea why it does that or how its even possible.

Actually, I'd say D-Link IS crap, but EnGenius actually make some pretty decent gear, for the price. I work in IT, and while I'd prefer all our clients to go with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and access points, not all of our (small business) customers can afford that. EnGenius fits this niche very well, and in my experience they perform better than ZyXel and other "semi-pro" hardware, and far above consumer grade Linksys, NetGear, D-Link etc.

Side note, I HAVE seen strange issues with Android phones and WPA2 security, and I have heard of people having issues when b/g/n modes are enabled, though not the router itself rebooting, just the phone losing its connection, not leasing an IP address, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2gtalontsi:
Hi I have a Samsung SGH-i897 I am sort of a noob to android devices but i had the phone rooted and everything was fine then i loaded Fasty Rom to it and everything was still fine now here is where my problem started.

I attempted to load CynagenMod Rom to the phone everything went downhill from there. After many attempts to restore the phone back to stock i keep getting the same thing.. The phone keeps rebooting to Recovery NO MATTER WHAT!! i have been using ODIN3 to flash it back to stock and it doesn't seem to work. ODIN says the phone is doen and passed then the phone restarts i get the att screen then boom right into 2e recovery again.

I tried reinstalling packages and i get into CWM but even there every time i hit restart now it goes right back into recovery again I CANT GET THE PHONE TO BOOT... At this point i just want it back to stock so i can start from square one... Ive tried searching the forums for the past 12 hours and everything i do just brings me back here please someone help me!!!!

​

So I've been looking for something to boost the volume in my bluetooth headphones. i tried DST mananger and that didn't touch it. is there something else i can do to fix this issue??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CallMeQube:
If you're using Gingerbread, Volume+ can give bluetooth sound a serious boost.

You can purchase it from the android market here:

market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&hl=en​

Or install it manually for free from here (at least for now):

androidaudiohacks.com/home/​

I've never had problems with music over bluetooth, but videos tend to be a lot quieter. Watching TV on a noisy train was very difficult before I got this app, but now I can hear it loud and clear.

P.S. Excuse the unlinked URLs above. I'm too much of a noob to post links apparently. Just add http :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Thank you for this link it works awesome.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] technokid:
it's fine.. and do u mean the original uhpdate from at&t or a rom using gingerbread?:confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mohan2k6:
Bluetooth volume boost?

I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.

Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?

I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rduckwor:
Hi guys, haven't been here since my WIN MOB days. Glad the place is hopping as usual.

Bionic users seem to be experiencing a total lockup on sleeping handsets. There is a rather extensive thread over Moto support and the mod seems to be paying attention.

Just popped in to ask your experiences and the frequency with which you guys are seeing this and any possible remedies.

I've seen a couple of very short threads here, but nothing with any follow-up.

Thanks,

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iyl78:
I have had this happen on multiple occasions, the power/wake-up button stops working and the only way to get the phone back is pulling the battery. The last time it happened was last night, and even after the battery was pulled it wouldn't come back up. I only got my phone back after switching out the battery with my extended battery.

Does anyone have a link to the thread at Moto support?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jwest06:
Seems like it happens more often when the phone has been sleeping for longer than 30 mins for me. Go for a run, come back and can't wake the phone up. Or go to sleep and wake up in the morning with it blacked out. :eek:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codehtmai:
This happened to me for the first time today, but it happened twice within about 2 hours. Pulling the battery was the only way to get it back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TrinitYPL:
This has been happening to me for the last few days, only things is Im rooted, I was considering unrooting until customer roms and kernels come out.... but seeing that you guys are having this issue with the phone stock.... quite weird, hopefully a firmware update will come out for this soon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] willbur73:
I've got mine rooted and have never had this issue before. I have not removed or frozen any apps though.

Also I leave my system on performance mode in the battery profile.

In fact, I left it on my nightstand last night without plugging it in. Woke up a few times and checked the time each time and the phone always woke right up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chbimmer:
So, I want to say mine started locking up when I selected "in pocket detection."

I just now thought about it reading one of the post here talking about going for a jog. I just turned it off and will see if that makes a difference. I get a lock at least once a day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smacinskyjr:
I have been rooted since day 1 and have had Bloat removed since day 2 and "knock on wood" have never had this issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] techrosis:
I've been getting this too. It only seems to happen at home where I have only 3g available. Are you guys that are having this happen in a 4g area or is it just 3g as well?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
I had this issue on the second day and never since, but being how "lucky" I am as I post this I will have the issue...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
Had this happen once to me today while i was severely multitasking then hit the power button by mistake. I gave up after about 5 seconds and pulled the battery
[Motorola Droid Bionic] alemondemon:
I have had this happen to me about 3 times now. Once during texting, once after breakfast, and once after movie. I think this is pretty damn unacceptable for a $600 device that was delayed so much.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] C@rn@ge:
Never had the black screen. However after long standby times the pattern screen doesn't register correctly the first few times. Unrooted.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TrinitYPL:
Luckily Chicago and the suburbs are 4g so im it all the time. So far inly in 4g has it happen to me
[Motorola Droid Bionic] topxshelfxtre:
Second day it happened but nothing since this and the huge 3G drop error is big on the moto site maybe an update soon

[Motorola Droid Bionic] pwrdbykyank:
mine did it once, but after i rooted i havent had it happen since.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rip Syntaxx:
I had this same issue on Day 2 of having my blessid Bionic... Didn't realize why my screen kept going to sleep every 5 seconds. So after taking my phone to VZW to have it looked at (and the rep had no clue what was going on)--I realized that my in-pocket detection setting may have been the culprit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cdejesus1119:
Not happening to mine. However I do notice apps deleting themselves when transferred to my SD card. Rumor is they are prepping an update soon... I sure hope so. But the good news is the screen is growing on me, and I love the phone. It reminds me when I first bought My Samsung LED TV w/240 refresh rate. My eyes took forever to adjust, now I cant watch tv any other way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chbimmer:
So, I turned in pocket detection off and it has not had an issue since I posted last.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rip Syntaxx:
Good deal... Glad to hear it. It was gonna drive me nuts. This was my first time being an "early adopter". I usually wait about 3-6 months before buying a popular phone to allow all the bugs to be worked out. So getting this phone 2 days after its debut--you can see why I was nervous to have a fully-functioning phone!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jimdandy:
I'm rooted to and haven't had this issue. FWIW-I am using Juice Defender free
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
I've had this issue twice (in the same night). The phone was in my pocket, and when I removed it, it wouldn't start back up.

But after a battery pull, all was right as rain each time, and I've not had the issue since. Still hoping for an update, though.

Bionic BSOD

Well, an unscientific poll at AC shows 50% of these handset with the BSOD issue. Any guesses as to when Moto will release an OTA that MIGHT fix the issue?

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Poloasis:
Got mine yesterday on a 3g area only with pocket detect unrooted "for now" spend the night on stby with no issue so far.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
has anyone else noticed that this issue only occurs when 4g is enabled and not when the phone is put in 3g mode? and I do not have pocket protection enabled, so that's not the cause (at least not in my case)

just to clarify, I do live in a 4g area but have very slow 4g service at home and the phone occasionally drops back into 3g mode on its own. I usually put the phone in 3g (cdma) mode at home (to save battery), and it seems to me that I may only get the BSOD at home when the phone is left in 4g mode
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rduckwor:
I live in a 4G area as well, but with a strong signal at home (I can see their tower from my office window.).

My second BSOD was in a solid 3G area while the handset was set to LTE/3G as required.

As for the first BSOD, I can't recall where I was or the level of data service available. IT was all too new and something of a shock at that time.

I factory reset the handset this AM, loaded a minimum of apps and made sure pocket detection was off. I also went into the internal memory and deleted the image bloat that tends to get written there in the DCIM folder (Duplicate images from your SD card, PLUS image files that have no data and appear magically courtesy VZW and Moto.). I also set battery management at the "performance" level.

I made a decision to keep that handset despite the issues reported and experienced. I just hope I haven't shot myself in the foot.

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
i have been following the BSOD issue on multiple forums, but i haven't noticed any comments on "image bloat" as a potential cause, did i miss something there?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rduckwor:
There was a post I read somewhere a week ago that speculated that the BSOD had to do with ghost image files written to the DCIM folder in the internal memory. I checked and there were three or four image files titled with "?" marks and all my real image files I had copied to the SD card had been duplicated in the internal DCIM folder times 3 or four. I cleared them and so far so good.

Seems that anytime you manipulate an image file (open, copy, transfer, maybe even take a pix) bloat gets written to the internal DCIM folder along with dup pix files from yor SD Card.

Check yours for crap and duplicates.

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
ok, i actually moved all my stuff from /sdcard-ext/dcim to /sdcard/dcim early on (and using my PC) once i understood the difference between them, and i just checked the gallery and do not have any duplicates in there, thanks for the clarification
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chbimmer:
Still flawless and I live in a 4G area and stayed in a 3g area this weekend without any hiccups either. Just an update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nooben:
Holding some variables on this, but I don't know anything about programming

So this happened to me on my way back from the VZW store buying the phone today. I live in a 4G area. In-pocket thing was off. Battery mode was on nighttime saver. Had not ever been charged. One thing: they had put in my SD card from my LG Revolution which I was returning ;). The LG had been rooted and there were some left over storage folders in the SD card. Is everyone else who is having this problem bringing over a used SD card? Perhaps there is something with that. Perhaps not.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Nope, mine is clean as the driven snow. Sorry.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Chbimmer:
I do have the SD card from my incredible in mine and it has all my information on it....it has not been formatted or altered in any way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skoone68:
My Bionic has suffered this lock up problem since day one. It has done it both rooted and unrooted. I am in a 4G area. Pull the battery, restart and all is well until the next lockup.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ChevyNexus:
Never had the issue an I've had my phone since the release.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] NEpatsfan:
Well, after almost a sudden week of this lock up, sometimes once a day,sometimes twice a day and battery pulls, i called big red. I had the tech looko over the motorola support thread on this and he was like "ohhh,wow" and a new phone is enroute to me.

Since i was sending this phone back I unrooted and restored the stock rom from back up......the phone hasnt locked up since. I previously had it rooted with no issues but only started getting lock up issues intermittently after installing unl3ashed v1.3, but with all the threads on this I figured it was a hardware issue.....hmmmm.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
did they give you a new one or a refurb? did you walk in to the store or call verizon? i can't take it anymore and i gotta do something...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] NEpatsfan:
Just called them up and they are sending a new one. Just wish i could figure out why its NOT happening now....

Sorry, called custmer service, i tend to stay away from the stores...dont care for the lack of help or tech knowledge, or customer service for that matter.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
ok, so, i just factory reset from recovery, flashed the full FXZ file, and then factory reset again from recovery for good measure. then i noticed that there was still data on the internal storage (/sdcard), so i factory reset from the settings menu and chose to erase all internal phone data.

i've purchased 3 Motorola smart phones and 1 Motorola tablet in the last 2 years (all but 1 purchased at full retail). if this phone BSODs again, then i'm through with Motorola and i'll never buy another one of their products again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kyoteqwik:
I'm with you. I have the Droid 2 and Xoom. Just returned my second Bionic to Best Buy. Great phone but just too buggy. Should have known better the way Motorola has done us with Xoom. I'm waiting for something from Htc and probably Samsung now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rduckwor:
I started this thread and while I don't have a definitive answer, I have been ten days now w/o a BSOD. I did a factory reset, set the power to performance mode and have not connected to my PC for anything since the last episode. I live in a 4G area but travel in and out of 3G coverage and so far so good. I did notice that when I opened the battery case up for the last battery pull, my SIM card was a bit loose and out of position. I stuck it back at that time.

If Moto has any ideas on this, they aren't talking and it was not on the list for the OTA release scheduled for the first week in November.

BTW, factory reset helped immensely with battery life.

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
if any of you guys have exchanged a Bionic for the BSOD problem, will you please provide feedback in this thread?

by the way, i posted this same question in a separate thread in this forum before i remembered this thread (which is more directly applicable to my request) existed, sorry about that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jjrozek:
I had it happen a number of times, a week after getting the Bionic. I thought back to what I had done to make it start. The only things I could think of were the battery saving settings, in pocket detection, and Pandora. I changed the battery and in pocket settings and it still did it. I removed Pandora and it stopped. I thought it was just the widget so after a week of no BSOD's I put Pandora back on via TB (So the version would be the same as the original). Not more than an hour later I got a BSOD. Removed Pandora again and haven't had a BSOD since.

Not positive it's Pandora but that fix worked for me. If it is Pandora it may just be a certain version. I will let you know if the BSOD comes back on me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
how long ago was it since the last time you removed Pandora? just curious. my experience with this issue is that it is clumpy, i can go for 3-4 days with no BSODs, then i'll get a bunch within a few days. unfortunately, i haven't been able to correlate the occurrences with anything.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jjrozek:
I removed it two weeks ago and the problem went away. I put it back on a week or so ago thinking maybe it was the widget and within 2 hours I got the BSOD. So I went a week with no issue after removing it and couldn't go more than 2 hours after re-adding it. It's Pandora 1.5.13. Not sure if this is the issue but I will post back if I get the BSOD with Pandora removed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] meth68:
Odd I thought this was just a fluke, I have gotten the bsod several times now, 5+ I would say. I do not have pandora installed. It's very annoying
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
used to have this problem

I used to get BSOD's almost daily since release, running stock. I've since then flashed to TH3ORYROM and have been rooted since Oct 3, no BSOD's so far. Since it is happening to rooted users and nonrooted users, I think you should give it a shot to factory reset...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jntdroid:
Had my Bionic almost a week and so far no BSOD - haven't really played with it much yet, though. It's rooted, and that's it.

I did have a weird issue once where no matter what I did, the screen would only stay on a few seconds, then turn off like it was going to sleep... I just put it down b/c I was in bed, woke the next morning and it was fine.

Odd...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chay03:
How do you disable pocket protection?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Have not had this issue with my phone at all. Only issue I have had was when I used the dolphin browser on occasion it would lock the screen where I couldn't do anything, but within 10 secs or so, I would regain user ability. Removed the Dolphin browser, and swapped to opera.. Not a single problem since.
