[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v.vibrate(ANNOY 0):
I fell briefly in love with nitr8's insanity ii ROM. However, after plugging in my phone to Wall charger overnight, I woke up to find my phone was OFF. Power button did turn things back on.

Searching the forums for other's similar pain scenarios leads to some generic domains of possible cause:

Buggy Kernel

Bad Apps

Wrong Modem

Bad HW (RAM)

I briefly became excited about the prospect of running logcat, then saw several 'random re-boot' related posts where the logcat trail goes cold after a hard power down.

Surely, there must be some diagnostic procedures that can point to a root cause.

Is there a RAM HW diagnostic utility...get that question out of the way, for example. (I don't think doing the standard *#0*# test covers RAM ;-) )

I have read through nitr8's entire insanity ii thread and I haven't found any posts about random reboots or power-down there.

I would have posted my query and offer to recompense any blatant stupidity with vast sums of beer, however forum rules require that I ask my 10 stupid questions in the non-developer area first.

I don't expect a free lunch. I'm happy to work for an answer. If somebody can point me to a guide or reference / process that I've missed, I'll be very happy to read up and hang my 'suck at teh search' head in shame.

What I can say from the sampling of Galaxy S2 folks where random rebooting is the source of pain and frustration, is that no clear process was arrived at for determining root cause...mostly luck and re-flashing the double flash Dalvik type responses...or try this modem or that kernel....

I've restored my phone using CWM to the pre-insanity ii state because it hasn't re-booted or powered down (yet) with that build. The attachment reflects where its at right now...in case this is of interest.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitr8:
Morning v.vibrate(ANNOY, 0),

The way I would take it is in stages,

a) do you have random reboots on other roms? i guess answer is no as you stated that above

b) flash ROM with insanity, restore just contacts and verify there are no random reboots

c) if no reboots go ahead and install your apps

d) if no reboots go ahead and restore all your settings

Report back as to where your reboots start.

I wold also need to know what kernel you on because 99% of the time i have seen this issue its kernel related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v.vibrate(ANNOY 0):
Good morning. Thank you for responding to my query.

I will follow your recommendation to the letter and report back.

In the interest of providing some more background information, I did have a previous configuration that was rebooting prior to insanity ii.

I had been running VillainROM 3.0 with Ninphetamine 2.0.5 and Modem XXKI4. I experienced more than 1 random reboot that way. After that, I re-flashed the kernel to the speedmod one you can see in my previous post attachment and the phone has not had a re-boot with that configuration.

The configuration in the attachment has had 5 days total time (spread over non-contiguous intervals), so it's hard to say for certain. However, the experience I've had so far with swapping out the kernel tends to agree with the idea that re-boots / power down are mostly kernel related.

Finally, in the case of insanity ii, I ran with the 'stock' kernel that came with version 049. I cannot recall the name of that one...but it was cyanogen-based.

Thanks again for your reply and I will endeavour to be systematic and clear about symptoms and prior actions taken.

I really want this ROM to work for me...it's like they say, once you've had it you cannot go back! ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitr8:
np, start off with this:

Flash latest kernel - Latest Kernel

Flash latest rom - insanity ii cm 051

Monitor ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v.vibrate(ANNOY 0):
So far, so good.

OK, so I followed your first two instructions to the letter. Flash Kernel, Install ROM. No problem.

Still no problem. I have not had 1 reboot or power down since yesterday evening at 18:00 GMT.

No, I must confess that in an orgy of non-compliance, I've installed many many things. I will try to attach list of screen shots.

I am not sure I expect this to be very helpful or useful. Perhaps I am hoping you may say something like "ooooh, be careful with that dog...it will bite you..." or some such thing.

I will also add that should the power-off come back, I'll start from 0 as instructed and blame myself for wasting time.

On a final note, I think it's been covered before, but trying to use the Video camera is an almost instant FC.

Also, not much to do with your stuff, but I had some troubles with O2 and the KI4 modem:

If I discover any meaningful or useful information, I'll pass that along. I'm sorry if this has been a bit time wasting at present.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v.vibrate(ANNOY 0):
Well another day and still no lockup or power-down or any other malfunction.

[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Wait! Could be 2 weeks so i just recommend going to stock and waiting until you can receive it the update is being sent out in waves so if you go to settings/about phone/check for updates/check new and it gives you nothing then you are going to have to wait i would say got back to stock and stock recovery and just wait until you can receive it ota.

Edit: No your local Verizon can't force the update lol
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Thanks for the heads up
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
It's being pushed in waves, but I thought if you check for an update, it should force it?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
i am currently running the infused rom on my infuse 4g and i am noticing a lot of people talking about the MIUI rom. can someone tell me the big differences in the roms that makes them stand out from eachother. which one is more user friendly and such. i have uploaded a screenshot of my homescreen using go launcher ex.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
really no replies yet? c-mon people help me out. i have been looking around and found a new rom that looks amazing. i am not a total noob at this stuff i know what i am doing. the new rom that i am looking at is called sensation rom and it looks amazing kudos to the guy that designed it. if you are running it please feel free to fill me in about it too. i am looking to flash a new rom soon and want to know what is the best that i can get for my infuse. here is the link for the sensation rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1325177

again all the help i can get from here would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
you can wait longer than an hour lol

to get an idea of how the roms are different, you can watch some videos on youtube.

miui is a big change from most roms, it's probably best to just flash and see if you like it. it's not like flashing is permanent
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
the sense Rom is good, i will leave it at that.

i dont like to hype Roms, cuz they are different for everyone....you may not like the features on one while someone else absolutly loves them. Miui is the MOST customizable rom that is out there. Cm7 is a great Rom as well. i can find good things to say about most roms i have tried on the infuse. and i have Tried them ALL...lol

i say flash away, if your not a Noob - i know your not scared of a brick right.

take the time and see if you like it, if not Flash another and another and for ****s and giggles flash another.

trial and error is the only way to really see if a rom works for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mcmb03:
It's al about personal opinion man, in my opinion, you should backup your current rom and then flash miui and give it a try. the worst that can happen is that you won't like it and all you have to do is restore from your backup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Its just two ROMs..!! And you are on Infused. Try out MIUI for a couple days and keep what you liked more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] airflood:
I've just flashed to MIUI. This is purely my opinion alone.

- It's has a very clean interface with no "crapware" at all. I've to install everything from scratch. That's a plus point anyway.

- And there's multitude of customization that can be done. From themes, to settings, etc.

- But the thing that I don't really like is all my installed app sitting pretty on the home screen.

- I do notice that it's faster than the original infuse interface. Faster browsing too.

- I think it has problems handling more than 4 gmail accounts and Google voice seem to be working erratically.

Apart from that, everything works fine and I'm still figuring it out further.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Think of MIUI as a REALLY REALLY GOOD knock off of iOS.

its CM7 with a skin. lol. basically.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
Do you think you could upload a few pics of MiUI? I am interested as to how it looks. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:

youtube would be a great idea if i werent at work where it is blocked. haha. but thanks for all your help everybody. i may flash MIUI just to try it out. thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
Personal preference tbh.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
so just to cover my ass a little, if i make a backup of my current rom using rom manager and i dont like MIUI i can always restore from the backup that i made? and when i do decide to get MIUI what and where should i get it from?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crash822:
MIUI is in the developers section of the infuse forums. It is usually on the first page due to so many people posting on it, it isn't hard to find.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
well i did it. i flashed to MIUI and i am going to see if i like it. so far i am not happy. i had my phone to backup all my contacts to google and it didnt and i even moved them to my sim card. so i lost all my contacts. but all in all its going to take some getting used to. will either upload pics at some point or maybe make a video to help people like me who are a lil iffy on rom flashing.

thanks guys for all your help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] priest2705:
I've been running MIUI for 3 weeks now and I LOVE it.....sleek, customizable, fast, faster browsing than stock....but I would recommend trying both to find the one that works for you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagecanman:
Make a folder put everything in it and put it on the dock and walla an app drawer and no iPhone home screen crap.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] wes78:
All I know is I LOVE Infused GB rom

I tried Serendipity, and HATED it. Flashed Infused back immediately. The swype is outdated, and the look and feel is god-awful. Plus, I refuse to keep a ROM on my phone called "Serendipity" terrible...just awful.

Never tried MiUI

just get Infused. GTG is the man.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Im late on this topic. Just flash both and see which you enjoy more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
so i have a problem with MIUI. when i set tones as my ringtone, notification, and sms tone none of them work and it is the same sound for them all. i am using zedge for my ringtones and i noticed that you could use your music on your phone as a ringtone. please help. is there a fix or something that i am missing. i am going through settings to do this. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sasa111:
Bluetooth in MIUI doesnt work properly at all. That made me switch to DlevROM. Also the battery life isnt that good on MIUI.. other than that.. a cool ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DaMeatMan:
I just installed MIUI for the first time. My first impression is that it is by far the smoothest and sleekest looking ROM i have ever tried.. liquid butter.. seriously! It has very clean lines, a somewhat iphone like clean and simple elagance to it that spans across all menus, customized and rounded icons (for everything you install.. not just custom apps), nicely modifed notification tray, pop up menus are clean and tightly integrated as they drop down from the top.. overall very sleek looking rom!

Things i didn't like about it:

- As others mentioned.. the stock launcher copies the iphone by dumping all apps on the desktop.. this is retarded and very messy in my opinion and i hated it. First thing i did was install ADW launcher, and ADW Notifier.

- Lockscreeen is nice and clean, however i prefer to have more toggles so i can jump right into certain things like "flashlight", toggle volume, camera, sms, etc.. right from lockscreen. So i also installed Widget Locker from market.

- By installing another launcher and desktop you lose the MIUI picture frame widget.. so if you are like i am and like picture frame widgets on your desktop, you will also want to install "Big Photo Frame" from market to enable this functionality again.

Overall, i'm very pleased with the speed, reliability, and performance of MIUI so far. Only thing missing that would make it perfect is a fix for bluetooth audio stutter. But for now i'm still keeping it as my daily driver.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
i agree with you 100% those same things that you didnt like i also dont like. and yes all in all it is a very sleek and smooth ROM. i am still getting used to it and it takes a while for the ROM to settle in on the phone. although i am unsure if i really want to keep it. i really liked infused and all but this is so much sleeker. if i had to change one thing it would definitely be by putting an app drawer back on the phone. i hate how everything i install in automatically put on the desktop. yes there is an easy fix for it but it would be so much easier to just have a app drawer. overall i rate the ROM at an 8.5/10. i may make a video tutorial on it in the near future. look for it to be posted somewhere on here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] byuboy87:
as far as the lockscrren goes, theres a bunch of themes u can add that make the lockscreen as useful as anything else ive seen, next to widget locker. i use one that adds camera, phone, music, browser, & txts shortcuts... its pretty neat, ill try to post a screeny. poit was tho, lol that the locksreen can be really useful. i, like u, hated miui, honestly think i still do, but the theming capabilities keep me using it...

You might need to send it off for repair.

So here is the New Rom for your Huawei U8650.

The Rom was tested for 3 weeks and so far has no bugs, the rom is fast and stable, it's based on WWE Huawei rom, with OC kernel up to 780MHz, it also have app2sd.

I assume that everybody knows how to root and custom recovery the U8650 if not just search my other post.

Note: YOU FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'M NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.

THIS IS MY FIRST ROM EVER, AND I'M NOT A PROGRAMMER AND NO DESIGNER SO GO EASY ON ME. :)

How To Install:

1) Boot in recovery

2) Wipe data/cache/dalvik

3) Partition SD 512 Ext and 256 Swap (Partitioning SD erase data on SD, so BACKUP)

4) Install GGR_Final_ and enjoy

If you like my work buy me a beer :)
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
this rom based on cyanogen or not??
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
No,its based on a WWE Huawei Rom
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
what the other special features for this rom?i hv trie this rom and it go smoothly...and can oc to 780mhz w/out restart my phone..:)
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
The rom is intended to be as similar to the original as it can be.

Improvements:

OC kernel up to 780MHz (fast an stable)

Deodex

Zippling

Some basic graphic changes

A2SD

Ext&Swap

Busybox

And few other things :P
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
why this roms can't detect 3g coverage for my phone???
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
I don't have any problem, did you wipe data/cache/dalvik before install??

The screens are in my house, it change from 3g to hsdpa with no problem!
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
your phone working well...ok..i'll try it coz i like your rom's speed..:)

it still the same..no coverage even gprs...i have wipe everything...is it possible that this happen because before this i use CM7???

one more thing is before this i use recovery mode that you mention before which from zad but now i use recovery from benru which different version..so is it possible to cause this problem??
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
sorry for the question but did you check you phone maybe you set only to use 2G in network settings. I'm using the recovery from zad's post as it works fine, i flashed my U8650 about 200 times in the past month and it still works fine, I really don't know why you got that problem, I'w also used CM7 and GGr after with no problems!

I installed this rom on 6 other phones and no one had this problem!

When you try to flash another rom does your 3g works??

back to your question it's still the same problem when i try flash another rom but working fine with cm7...maybe this happen because of my new recovery???

[Android Software Development] gvpula:
well you got the full explanation of how to put Zads recovery in my other post,and yes it can be the reason why it does not work. Another question,why did you changed recovery if the first one works fine. And did you back up the original rom before you flash？ Try restore original rom or if you do not have the backup try download original rom and flas it from the phone update utillity.
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
i have follow the instruction but it not work....no,i'm not change the recovery but the cm7 rom that i use automatically change that recovery...i'm not backup the original one...can u teach me how to do it???
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
now is too late my friend,as the backup is the first thing to do when you install custom recovery. For the original update rom you need to download it,you can find it on htcmania.com under U8650 then you need to put it on the root of you sd card then mount you sd,go to storage settings and find software update, update from sd card and follow the instructions. the rom update will be called update.app this should go on the sd root folder. you can also find how to on androidforum under huawei sonic thread.
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
ok my friend...thanks...can u teach me how to install zad recovery??i hv follow that instruction and it didn't work..when i click to instalador.bat it say ' waiting for device'
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
You need to install the drivers for your device, the adb drivers, because your Pc can not connect with your device, if you use windows vista/7 just go to device manager and try update device drivers, or just download huawei drivers and install it.
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
i have install that driver...but still didn't work...

i have download the original firmware...but in my storage setting don't have option software update...
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
what rom you use now???
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
i have install original firmware...i change to your rom 1st and it has option for software update...before this i use CyanogenMod7.2-benru89-v2...that's why my recovery change automatically and dont have option for software upgrade...now i need to root my phone once again
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
install my rom,then update with original rom,then push new recovery,make backup from original rom. wipe data/cache/dalvik partition your sd one more time. Put GGR in root of sd and flash it.
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
now the problem is i cant make new recovery...yes,i have follow the instruction but it didn't work..maybe i have forgot something...
[Android Software Development] gvpula:
try to update your drivers, then put phone in downloade mode volume down+power for 10sec, your bootscreen wont change, run instalador.bat and then connect your device. It should work. If you say that the instalador bat say that is waiting for device it means that you don't have the right drivers!
[Android Software Development] brofaris:
yes..that the problem...can u tell me how to update driver??because i have update it but still it said waiting for device...

before use instalador i have do fastboot and it when to original recovery..am i right??
