I have the reboot issue, but I have narrowed it down. DEVS TAKE A LOOK!!

So far I can get a 100% repro of this issue if

1. I am on WIFI for DATA and make or receive a call.

2. then leave WIFI area and attempt to call out, TXT or use 3G data.

3. phone will reboot every time when that occurs.

60% repro of reboot issue with the fallowing.

1. make or receive call with WIFI on but not attached to network.

2. go into WIFI range of a known(not new!) WIFI hotspot and phone attaches to WIFI on it's own.(this will sometimes cause the WIFI, 3G, and phone signal to all appear in the task bar at the same time)

3. make a phone call, txt or turn off WIFI then attempt to use 3G data and phone will reboot.

Also this is VERY IMPORTANT!! The conditions above will not cause the reboot on it's own. If you have data updates off or leave WIFI off all day then you might never see this. Also VERY important if you receive a call when attached to WIFI and then use your phone for data only you will not get the reboot right away it may take upto 30-40 min. Also important, if you attempt to do either repro above via making a phone call you will see the dialer get stuck at "connecting" in the upper left hand side, but it will never go to "connected" and hitting anything on the dialer or the back button will not help only home, but you will notice nothing on the phone will work anymore. This will ultimately lead to a reboot!

Here is the problem as I have trouble shot the living crap out of this and it seem that either the voice/3G radio is locking up or the dialer is crapping out.

Also on a side note that when the dialer is stuck on "connecting" if you force stop the dialer it does nothing, but if you force stop the "dialer storage" it will kill the dialer, but you will still get a reboot at some point after that.

So now we know where to look at for this issue. Can any of the devs look into this as I am not sure where to go from here, but this IS the problem everyone is seeing and can be hardware or software.
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
This is what I was talking about. I get this right before the reboot but if I use the internet right now it'll be fine until I turn off WIFI then the phone will reboot when I open anything that hits the internet. The WIFI and 3G are on at the same time.

So I received a call on WIFI then left WIFI and came back a few min later. The 3G would not go away even if I turned WIFI on or off. At this point a txt or phone call from the phone would cause the reboot. Or if I turned WIFI off and tried any app that required internet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Andreuha:
I could see this being an intended "feature" - I've found that that it will repeatably reset if I just leave my phone untouched for about a minute (or two?) after the screen times out with flashlight on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Every phone is different. Mine reboots when im using it to surf the web. It also does it when I take it off or put it on the charger it reboots. It also reboots if its just sitting on a table not being used.

After having my replacement for around three weeks now not one single reboot. So just suck it up and get a replacement and you will love the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ticobiker:
Well I am really at that point that I love the darn phone but hate this issue I saw from other mopho owners that they replaced the unit not 2 times some of them 4 because the same behavior. I think Im gonna ask for a refund and buy a Galaxy SII..... Its a real shame I am so fackin in love of this phone as I used to be with the HD2 but dont wanna take the risk to pass for a worst escenario having restars every 5 minutes. So my point here for what dual core and for.what 1GB if the phone cannot even be alive for 5 hours.... ?

Damn!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] batichavez:
My wife's phone has restarted about 8 times in the last 3 weeks, all random. taking it to the sprint store this week.
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
My buddy has the SGS2 from Sprint and his has shutdown and stayed shutdown due to heat 5 times already. Once was while we were playing against each other in a house set at 73 degrees. He also says he cannot put it in the window holder in his car as it'll shutdown as it streams music.

Just saying no one phone is better then another. My old SGS could barely make it 12 hours before a dead bat, and my photon hits 24+ with 2 hours of display on time...

But good luck in your next phone, I'm sure something will bug you as all phones have there quarks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
1 restart in a month - and I suspect it was caused by a bad app.

BTW, my battery was at 70% tonight after 12 hours of moderate to heavy use with WiFi and push email from 2 Exchange servers turned on all day (and display turned down since auto setting is too bright for me)

Now if they had just put the USB port in a location that doesn't make the kickstand unusable, I'd be about 100% happy.

Oh - it's my 1st Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Scary thing happened yesterday. Woke up and my photon kept restarting as soon as it turned on. I picked it up and it was burning hot that I dropped it and the screen broke. I had enough. Over 5 restarts a day then this? I took it to radioshack and got a replacement right away. So far pretty disappointed with the photon. This one seems alright so far though
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Dude, you can turn phone upside down with kickstand if u need to charge it while watching a video.

[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
Mine seems to restart with navigation once in a while, and I assume its because its from a torrent and when and with poorly developed apps. which sadly are like a plague on the market...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mustangmatt1966:
Awesome! Didn't think of that but it works perfectly!

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
So my phone reads 3h45m off charger with 3 restarts today, and two phone calls. Talked to a corp sprint store and because I am out of the 30 days it'll cost me 35 bucks to get the phone replaced only if the techs can confirm the issue.

So my Q is what is the easiest way to brick the phone so it never boots again no matter what so I can force them to just give me another one or threaten to sue....

[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
Your right every phone is different I have not had this issue at all, the only time my phone reboots itself is when the battery drains and I put it on the hdmi dock, from there it will just sit there and reboot itself over and over,so. I just charge via the wall charger for a few minutes then all is fine,,
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uncensored:
I believe my reboots are BT related. How many of you experiencing reboots use BT?

[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
ha mines restart when you try to multi-task for over a hour. there's no browsing the net/wifi-tether/ then listen to pandora radio all at once for this device. So yeah I'm in progress of getting a replacement. Either will be the 3d or the iphone 4s I think that's a world phone too
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
It restarts everytime it overheats pretty much
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Unfortunately 30 days changed to 15
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Replace the Photon, not the actual phone itself. By the way, the iPhone has nearly no customization.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yyk981:
I get them every once in a while. Usually while doing something process intensive like 4g streaming pandora via bluetooth and then trying to start navigation.

ok all that out of the way I have an issue with MMS, I currently cannot recieve or send MMS ( I could before upgrade ), when ever i resieve one it asks to download and when ever i send one it simply times out and say that it can't do it.

Also, i cannot use the internet for any thing after trying to send / recieve, i have to put the phone into flight mode then back out again.

I have been reading the forums for about a week desperately trying to figure it out, but as i stated being pathetic i get no where. I can't figure out if the MMS.APK is at fault or the gingerbread ver i'm using is

Any advice would be appreciated

Thankyou for taking the time to read my PATHETIC tale

Hi All

I am looking to root the telus Galaxy 4g model T959P. I have read that the T959D can be done by doing Odin to speedmod kernel then flashing the stock telus kernel which is 2.3.3 not the 2.3.4 that I currently have. So I don't think that will work. Has anyone been successful with this and if so please share. I know I am suppose to be in the forum specific to my phone but that isn't going to happen see the link below. If someone could help me out that would be great....

I recently got a replacement INC2 because of this phone is beatup and I need to send it back to Verizon for the warranty. I used RUU to unroot my phone and everything was stock then I just noticed that it's still S-OFF in the HBOOT screen.. The phone is deactivated, I can;t turn it back on to root again and get rid off S-OFF. Is there any ZIP files like PB31IMG that I can use to reverse it back to S-ON??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeadows013:
Why can't you root it? You are S-Off. Just flash a recovery, flash unRevoked's S-on script, and then reuse the RUU
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br125:
Edit: read the op wrong.

Listen to what he said above me. You don't need service to root or set back to s-on.

I didnt wipe anything. I can try wiping cache and Dalvik cache but i would rather wait until a fix comes that doesn't require a data wipe as i have things all set up the way i like.
[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
OK, I think the HoneyVillain's files are right. The best way is to replce the both su and superuser.apk directly in the taboonay rom not use the fix package.
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
Sorry but i ran into the same problem, had root and suddenly no root annymore ive flashed as usual factory reset, format system and after this installed 2.1 so i think someone has to do his homework once again.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt.one:
so my nexus shipped to me today and i power it on. at first it went it booted up fine i didnt get to play with it yet cause i had to go eat so i turned off the phone to let it charge.

came back to it later and turned it up and all i get is this :

after a few attempts with the same screen i decide to boot into recovery

[power down+power button]

HBOOT-0.33.0012

RADIO-4.06.00. 12_7

i then select recovery, after a bit it loads into clockwork mod recovery v5.0.1.0

so im assuming its not bricked or anything, but what seems to be the problem?

why is it stuck on the X screen with the "unlocked" lock icon?

-edit

an idea popped up in my head, so i put back the SD card tat came with the phone and it booted up fine to the home screen.

so im guessing the guy who sold the phone to me had his rom image booting off the sd?

would factory resetting the phone[wipe all] change this? so i can boot without the damn SD card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
It might've been that he had app2sdext running. I have never tried booting up without my sdcard in. Depending on how it was installed, a factory reset *might* help, but I doubt it (most app2sdext are put into the /system partition which a reset doesn't touch).

Your best bet is to probably just wipe the phone and start fresh with a new install. There are a lot of different options out there with ROMs, but the two most popular are CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. Have a look at those and try them out.

Flash back to stock to unroot. Either the stock kernel or stock system image. If there isn't one then, well, that sucks. Think and read a little more before jumping in. I'm not trying to be a ****, I imagine you have already realized this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kivamaki:
Definitely waiting for a better root. Too many people jumped the gun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It's not that there is an issue with the root method...it's just that compiling a kernel with (even without modifications) is not guarantee of an identical kernel (to stock), and that's assuming that there were no modifications to the code that made it's way into the 'stock' kernel the phones are shipped with...and then they modify it to be rooted and it the fallout blows outwards from there. That's the nature of experimental kernels. It takes a little while for a kernel to mature.

The root that is the most 'sure thing' is exploit based, for now. I'd imagine there are many teams working on that right this second. Sit tight, it'll happen.

Either that or Cyanogen (most likely) or another AOSP kernel will come out with a little polish on it--perhaps even derived from this early work--and things will grow from there.

This is fantastic progress this early in the game. Sit tight and enjoy for now. Only the "i have to tether" folks have much reason to be antsy. If you need to restore backups there is a way (by hand), if you need speed then you have it...The roms are on their way.

1 red dot pixel in the middle of the screen

battery over heat after 5 minutes of playing Asphalt 6 ...

can't make/receive calls

Those were enough to get a replacement... Root was not mentioned (durh)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I faced this issue of K9 mail not saving attachments. It always used to come with the error message "unable to save attachment". Searching google came up with forums filled with this issue.

After some playing through, I realized that K9 mail tries to store all the attachments to the folder /mnt/sdcard/k9

For some reason, if the folder k9 is not present (could be user deletion or whatever for that matter), the mail app does not create the folder but simply returns the error. I tried creating the folder, and saving, and this time it saved properly. Seems like a simple thing was apparently overlooked by the k9 dev.

So, in short, creating the folder k9 on sd card resolves the issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Alvien89:
My phone will switch to landscape orientation when completely closed. I can finally get it to switch into portrait by SLIGHTLY nudging the screen to the right. I've been having this problem ever since I got my EVO Shift around June. It's particularly annoying because it causes the screen to wake, and my phone is usually in my pocket causing it to move around. I often find my phones display is randomly on when I pull it out. It causes even more problems when I'm listening to music.

I want to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and/or if anyone has a suggestion/knows how I can fix this issue myself.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
What Rom are you using? Are you rooted? You can disable Auto rotate. Menu-Settings-Auto rotate , and uncheck it. But it should not be rotating on the home screen unless you flashed a mod to do so.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Alvien89:
Changing that setting does not do anything. As I stated in the title, this problem is related to the hardware keyboard. The mechanism that detects if the hardware keyboard is open or not is malfunctioning. It's detecting that it's open when it's completely shut, thus causing orientation switch.

EDIT: Just to clarify, this has happened on multiple roms. Stock 2.2/2.3, CM7, and MIUI. I'm currently running MIUI. I just want to avoid turning to Sprint to fix this issue ;(
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Run G-Sensor calibration (bubble level in market if not on sense) and see my CM7 optimal settings thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1262313

Basically want only 0 and 90 degrees of rotation. That should help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
If it did it on the stock Rom unrooted, than I would have to say it's a hardware issue. If it started after you rooted, than I would just RUU back to stock and see if that fixes the issue. But you might as well try the RUU if you have to take it back to Sprint anyway. The Froyo 2.2 RUU is HERE if you do decide to go that route.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Alvien89:
I'm positive it's a hardware issue. I can't remember exactly when I got my Shift, but it was stuck on 2.3 OTA. The problem was occurring then and is still present on all the custom ROMs I've tried so far. I guess I'll just have to take this thing up to my Sprint repair store ;(
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
I'm not absolutely sure about the shift, but I know a lot of phones "read" the position of the keyboard by magnetic movement. Your magnet may have come loose. Any drops you remember? Very possibly. I wouldn't sweat taking it in if you have a repair store near by. It should be a quick fix.
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
Mine did this all the time... I got the htc case and there is no more wiggle to the keyboard and it stays completely shut... I actually just got a brand new replacement, so this problem happened with my old shift...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Alvien89:
I was thinking a case may fix the problem and/or prevent future problems. I've been looking at the OtterBox Commuter case. It's on sell for $21.85 on Amazon, but I'd like to find something a little cheaper. Any suggestions on a good, inexpensive case?

On my other phones, when you keep pushing volume down, the ringer transitions from ring, to vibrate, to silent. But on the the photon, it goes from ring to vibrate. How do I tottaly silence it?

I wish there was a silent toggle. Sometimes I want both the ring to vibrate...but not always. I need a quick toggle.

if you press and hold the power button. it will pop up a menu. sound off is one of the options. you can also set the sounds off using the settings app.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjlefebvre:
Just a noob posting some gossip. I own a Nexus S and a G2x; two days ago the NS developed a fastboot screen hiccup that I'm now searching XDA to see if there's already tips on getting it fixed. In the interim I called T-Mobile to see if I could just go the quick route and have the phone replaced under my premium handset insurance plan. They said they could replace it BUT would only send me a G2x - nothing else. Not another Nexus S, since it's not TMob supported, they said. Fair enough. The clerk initially said she could offer a HTC handset but then backed off that when I followed up - G2x and only G2x, she said. So it seems they're really trying to deplete their stocks of the LG beast.

Another point that may or may not be interesting. According to the clerk on the phone, TMob will NOT be getting the Nexus Prime. I asked her if she meant it will be called something else, or whether she meant that they won't be getting it first. She just repeated that "we will not be getting the Nexus Prime."

For what's it's worth.
