[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
I have to agree, I think it's the SD card causing these problems. I have a Galaxy Note and my reboot problems all disappeared when I removed the 32Gb sandisk card. I replaced it with a 16Gb card and was very careful about which apps I installed on it. Now whether it was the card size/brand or the selective apps that resolved the issue I can't be sure but it's worth investigating if you have reboot problems on devices with external cards installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cintra2:
My reboot problem solved (perhaps)

Since my post above ref. removing the 32 GB Sandisk card and having no reboots, I tested first an old 8 GB Kingston card from an earlier Nexus One, with apps on, got no reboots.

Next I tested a new 16 GB Class 6 Sandisk, first with no apps, then with apps, got no reboots.

Then I put the original 32 GB Sandisk back

without

reformatting it, and with no apps, it rebooted in the middle of the night after 17 hours.

Finally, I reformatted the card, ran it without apps for a few hours, then put the 10 largest apps back (mostly games) since when it has been running without reboots for 52 hours+.

Either I didn't format the card in the first place, or the reformat has now skipped past some minor defect (?), anyway it seems to be OK now - with apps. :)

I think its also depending a lot on WIFI and internet connection.

I am visiting my parents and noticed that my phone was rebooting every 15 minutes.

The solution was to turn off wifi since it got such poor internet here in the woods.

So apperently loosing internet over wifi makes the phone reboot.

At home I got 100mbit internet and 300mbit WIFI so it dosent happen that often,

Same issue here, phone rebooted once while using dolphin browser. Not sure if the option to save cache to sd was checked. This was with stockrom and stock kernel. Now i'm using checkrom with hardcore's speedmod kernel. And no reboots so far (over a week with new rom). By the way, I have an extra 16gb SanDisk card only for audio, photos and videos, all apps are on internal memory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thozi:
can somebody confirm that all Reboots stop (regardless of any dolphin hd Installation) once the SD Card is removed from the Device?

Thats how its with me here... System runs Rock solid.

in a next step, i will Backup my SD contents to my PC, then Format the SD to See how the System runs with a BLANK card in it.

if the System stays stable, then ill gradually refill the SD with content. maybe i can narrow down what content causes the issues :)

again, if you have reboots - try it without SD Card and Report how this works for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cintra2:
Yes, the reboots vanished when I removed the 32 GB Sandisk card, and as I mention in one of my recent posts, I had no reboots later when using an old 8 GB Kingston from a Nexus One, or when using a new 16 GB Class 6 Sandisk.

Currently I am back on the 32 GB original and after a week without, had 1 reboot after a period of heavy Angry Birds use by grandchildren ;) Have now moved the Birds back to the phone and it has been working fine for 5 days..

Mvh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thozi:
Aha! ok, thanks for the intel :)

I'm temporarily moving my SD Card files now to a folder on my Notebook and then see how the Device works with a "Blank 32GB Toshiba Class 4".

Any guesses what might be the "problem"?

Is it the Size of 32GB (because your 8 and 16 seem to work flawlessly) or could it be the CLASS (maybe 4 is too slow to handle Apps on SD)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geriguy33:
My problem was Dolphin only. After uninstalling, my device is rock stable. I've never used SD in the SGSII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimler1727:
Here's what I did and didn't have a random reboot so far:

1) I cleared by browser cache from the application...

2) I formatted my SD card using the SD Formatter from this link...

3) I installed WatchDog just in case something goes wrong.

I'll update my activities as I progress... By the way, I don't have Dolphin browser since day 1.

Edit: Jan. 16, 2012

So far, my Galaxy S II has not rebooted randomly yet sin the time I applied the abovementioned procedures. But another thing that I did was I moved all apps to my phone. There are no more apps on my SD at this point. So far, so good. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
thanks for the info. i also have the same problem after putting external sd. sandisk 8gb class4. random reboots!

after removing it, it has been always stable. now on the 30th day without hiccups.

im also measuring how stable this is than my other android. the longest was 59 days (desire Z). anyway for whatever reason this one reboots i will put back the SD and try again.

btw, SD works fine with other android i have. or might swap the 8GB that comes with the Z with this one.

i also dont have dolphin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSapai:
I just signed up to share my reboot experience with Dolphin (I installed both HD and Mini) on my Galaxy S2, Android 2.3.6, not rooted, Samsung 16gb SD card. It's the 4th browser I've tried so far and the only perfect-ish one so far (stock crashes too often; firefox feels beta-ish, doesn't load every page well; opera is just so slooooow, pages that stock and Fx open in 2-3 seconds take 5-15 on Opera).

Unfortunately, it almost definately was the cause for my random reboots. I installed it Feb 12th and experienced several random reboots since then, ranging from none in 2 (maybe 3 days), to 4 a day.

I read this thread about a week ago, decided to monitor my phone's behaviour and report it. First I unchecked the 'cache on SD' checkbox, but to no avail: in the next couple of days I've had some more random reboots, though never when using the phone: I'd take the phone out of my pocket or wake up to find the sim lock screen.

I uninstalled it 2 days ago and haven't had a single reboot since. If I'm still reboot-free in a couple of days, I'll reinstall Dolphin and see what'll happen and report it.

In short:

SGS2, Android 2.3.6, not rooted, Samsung 16GB card

Feb 12th: installed DHD and Mini, ~Feb 22: unchecked 'cache on SD'. Random reboots nearly ever day.

Feb 28: uninstalled DHD/Mini. No reboots since

Edit:

I just found out (on a dutch tech forum, of which I, apparently, can't post the url) that loads of people have reboot problems using 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 and either WiFi or an SD card. The Dolphin reboot problem may therefore not be Dolphin's fault, but (as more or less mentioned before) an SD card problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geriguy33:
Well, I don't have external SD, and I run android 2.3.4.

In my case (and believe me: in your case too) problem is Dolphin Browser!

YES, there is an other problem with the external sd cards (when apps installed on it).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
is there really a problem on 2.3.6 or just faulty sd? i put back again my sandisk 8gb class4 and there random reboots started to happen.

tried to unmount it yet keeping it inside - so far only 1 reboot happened.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSapai:
Could be both...

Good to know.

Update: I installed Dolphin Mini last tuesday (left the 'cache to SD' unchecked), no reboots since, but I think I read somewhere that the problem was DHD, so it's not completely unexpected.

I'll install HD again later today...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geriguy33:
Any experience with the newer versions of Dolphin HD (7.5, 7.6)???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geriguy33:
Nobody?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flash05:
may be not cause by dolphin. i experience random reboot without dolphin. i removed the SD and there stable.

i upgraded to official ICS via kies w/ SD no reboot so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellbo:
I have no whale or dolphin installed in the phone so that they reboot random 4-5 times a day from standby and rarely if I talk on the phone something important. It's kinda annoying just do not know why restarting. I installed LogCat and connected to a Syslog server hoping to see what happens. I'm still in testing ... because today would not do anything like that. : |
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tome_1:
I had random reboots too and narrowed it down to playing certain music files (possible file types) on the stock music player. It would happen very regularly and was repeatable. When I switched to WinAmp I got no more random restarts.

I've just upgraded to ICS last night and am testing the stock music player now. So far so good with no random restarts playing the same tracks that used to crash the system.

Similar threads we found ( not counting threads i found using search ) gave no answer ... in fact, there was one in HD2 General section with the closest issue as mine, but it had 0 replies :)

So, something that should be easy, like, say, contact list in phone ( what could possibly be hard about that, you click on phone, phone opens with dial pad and your contacts in it ) becomes a nightmare if you have contacts saved on your sim card. When you click on phone after flashing any new rom, your sim contacts are shown automatically, but when you import your contacts from saved list on sd card, you get duplicates wih no way to separate them in phone view.

My Nokia from 15 years ago had the option to view what i want in phone ( view sim, view phone, or both ) but not HTC from 2011. Am i stupid, or HTC is ?

I planed to attach a screen shot, but forum kept telling me upload failed ...

It was simple .jpg (66 KB) 960x540 ... but never mind. Is there a way to fix this, or people should wipe their sim cards ... not :)

Edit:

Upload went fine after i renamed the attachment from 27-10-2011.jpg to 1111111.jpg
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
.

From within "people", touch Menu then View and select the option of which contact list to show in all applications

.
[HTC Sensation] strahota:
Thank you for the reply, but if you look at the attachment below, you will see that I've done that already ( only phone is selected ) and still there are duplicates like i showed in previous post's attachment.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
its Android issue.. you wont see double contacts in People when only Phone contacts are marked in View but in Dialer u will see sim contacts too and nothing can be done about it..:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] strahota:
Is that really possible, i mean ...

Why would anybody with at least half a brain separate dialer and people, one uses dialer to call people ... right ?!?!?

I'm not gonna send mails from dialer, or that was the plan all along ?

If that genius decided to separate them, why didn't he leave option to select which to use in both ?

Plane stupid ... no comment.
[HTC Sensation] vegi71:
i fixed mine by exporting my contacts to my gmail account then deleting contacts from my phone and sim
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Yeah i agree but that's Android way of managing contacts and they really suck in this aspect..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuktukscotty:
I have tried most of the MIUI roms and have had the same issue with every one. I use whatsapp and the first message of the day that I get from a contact, the time stamp is always wrong ie, They message me at 8.34am but the time stamp on whatsapp would be something like 3.18am etc. Once I have messaged them back then it shows the right time stamp for each message. I have emailed whatsapp to see if they have any ideas but never got a reply. When installing whatsapp it does give a message warning that this is not a supported rom version etc etc.

Anyone had this problem?? Anyone found a solution??.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
no issues for me, i just sent a message and got one back with the correct time stamp
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuktukscotty:
If I send the first one of the day then when they reply it is fine. It's when no messages are sent over night and then next time one is sent to me the time stamp is wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pReXx:
Same here.

If i chat with some1 via WA it works well, but sometimes i don't get any messages till i open WA...

very annoying.:mad:

Sometimes its shows error Unfortunately, Whatsapp has stopped. :eek::confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] t0phe:
Hello there.

I recived a brand new ViewPad 7e (the lowcost tab from ViewSonic) yesterday. Everything works fine (or, almost fine for that price...), but the 7e come without AndroidMarkets (nor Gmail apps, Google Account etc...). It's possible to use alternat market, but I'm looking to use the original one (and, most important, to set up a google account synchronysed with calendar) anyone got an idea to install that ? (I tried some trick for Archos etc... but nothing seems to work atm).

If somone got an idea... thanks in advance :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
My guess would be that it's missing the gapps framework, you can try installing the architecture independant gapps package from CM7, which

"should"

work.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] t0phe:
Well, it worked by installing the gapps manually, the last point will be to put the market 3.1.3 or so (for the moment I only have th old one), thx again for your help.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] ctenedor:
Where can I find how to install gapps manually

you said it's possible, where can I find the steps to install it manually?

Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] KwangSheu:
Hi, I also get a Viewpad 7e, and download the Google Apps from CM7

But I could not install in manually after I unpack the Google Apps package.

System will say it is an invalid APK.

Could you help to release the package you install and installing steps?

Thanks.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mikilet:
I have the same problem : "System will say it is an invalid APK".

Could you explain what you think we are doing wrong ?

Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Guys, cm7 market would not work for our devices as it doesnot meet the criteria for having google market. Yes is ironic but for now we have to rely on the market we have. We have to wait till someone make cm7 work forr our viewpad.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] charlies1112:
there's a way but i need to translate it because its in chinese i got it it on mine
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] mikilet:
charlies1112, if you can, it would be really nice to explain how you did it.

Yesterday, I was able to root the viewpad 7e using Gingerbreak v1.20.

Thank you in advance
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] charlies1112:
instructions for getting android market on the viewpad 7e

go download this file from this link:

dl.dropbox.com/u/34743606/v7e.zip

put those five files onto the micro sd card

Step 1:

settings>applications>unknown sources>tick it

settings>applications>development> USB debugging> tick it

Step 2:

Go to the inbuilt app ES File Explorer

find the GingerBreakv1.20.apk

install the GingerBreakv1.20.apk (I installed it on mine but it made my micro sd card useless i dunno what was with this but it still got gingerbreak on it it just made card die so use at your own risk =_= it still install it fine tho might of been a defect of a cheap card)

Root the device by going through the steps

When you complete the steps you should see Superuser in your applications

Go back to ES File Explorer

Find Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk

Install Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk

Click allow for permissions for the Root Explorer

Once you have Root explorer installed open it and fine the folder sd card

Press and hold the Vending.apk until the menu pops up and choose copy

Make sure all the columns are ticked and select OK

once you get to this step you should see the market icon but you're not done yet you need to go through the same thing you did for Vending.apk for GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk

and you should get it i'll paste the chinese website the author posted pictures

Hi thanks for the guide which I have followed and now have the android market installed.

I am now having an issue with the apps not downloading they just say starting download and nothing happens can anyone help please?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Did you restart your tablet?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] pedaars:
yes restarted the tablet before I went on the market I didnt use the files from the link as its not working maybe thats the issue
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] pedaars:
Is anyone able to link me or send me the exact files they used please

I am now getting an insufficient storage space error whenever i try to download anything from the android market but i have over 2gb free on my micro sd card any ideas? I tried searching solutions to this error but none of them have worked
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
charlies1112,

Your rooting procedure is the only thing that worked. Thanks! The only problem I still have is that I am unable to install the calendar and contact sync adapters. I get parse errors. Do you know of a version of these adapters that are compatible with the market in your zip file? Also, USB debugging keeps turning itself off. Is there a fix for that?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Turn off your anti-virus software and the link will work.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] pedaars:
Thanks managed to download the files installed as per the guide on page 1 still getting the insufficient storage error oh well
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
So my link work? Just off anti virus?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
I don't know if this is the correct place to post but can Clockwork Mod Recovery work on the Viewpad 7e?

Cyanogen Mod 7, Shadow Kernel
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
You mean use the clockworkmod app and flash rev?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
Pardon my noob language ;-). I want to install Clockworkmod Recovery to be able to do backups. If a custom ROM becomes available in the future, I would already have Clockworkmod Recovery on the tablet.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
For now there arent any recovery or custom roms. Rom manager wont work too. Ive tried it
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
Thanks. I'll stop wasting my time looking.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] pedaars:
yes turned off anti virus and the link worked just cant download anything as its telling me i have insufficient storage but ive got a 2gb micro sd card in the pad which has about 1.5 gb free
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Download it using your computer? And place in your sdcard?

Thank you very much! I was a few days away from returning this thing if I couldnt get marketplace installed.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jucares:
I've been able to install successfully the android market, but there a lot of applications that are incompatible with the device. This is not totally true because I can install from the 1Mobile Market the same applications.

So anyone have tried some tweaks in build.prop to make our device more compatible with apps?

thaks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Yes, because some apps are located in 1mobile market. The android market is not a official market for our tablet
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luik:
Any solution to the "insufficient storage error" when installing any of the market application ?

I have first followed the instructions listed in this thread. It went all fine but I am always getting the same error.

I have then tried several versions of the market application, same problem :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] cesariongelvez:
Did you find something? Actually I've follow all the steps and I get the market, but when I try to download something I've the same message.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
The only think you can do is manually delete apps you dont need using Root Explorer, to free up space to install.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
Clear the cache. Sometimes, it makes that notice disappear.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] charlies1112:
Fix insufficient space problem

Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Find market> Uninstall updates

that should fix it
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
I've asked this before but you didn't answer. Do you have calendar sync that's compatible with your gapps? I haven't found one that works.

Cyanogen Mod 9.2, stock kernel, EI22. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
Copy the following file using root explorer to your system/app dir and you will have calendar sync. I also have news & weather and google search (to replace ask) working. Google Talk is still giving me errors and I am still working on getting it working.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
It's not working for me. Market keeps doing an fc so I think everything's messed up with the apps.

Cyanogen Mod 9.5, stock kernel, EI22. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
I would try clearing the data and cache for the market in your Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market>. This might fix the FC and if not recopy the Vending.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and MarketUpdater.apk as you did to get market working the first time. If you did any changes to your build.prop restore them just to make sure.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
Here is a picture so you know it can be done!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Psycho dogg do you know how to make cwm working for the tablet?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
First step we need adb to see the device, I was going to start to see if that can be done. Then we need a Recovery made for it.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
Yes i know but i dont have the knowledge to do that :/(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
I have a strong background in Linux and develop app's for android. I make no promises but will try to see what I can do.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
That fixed the Market. Still can't get calendar sync to work.
