[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcastillano:
As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.

I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikolis:
I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKiDCLown:
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark P. Moyer:
Same problem here. Very aggravating.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisSkeeles:
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...

This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.

I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.

One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
OK, so does anyone have any ideas? I have tested it using a load radios...and still nothing, it still randomly reboots. This is possibly the most unreliable handset I have ever owned
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp2132:
Have you tried fastboot wipe? Maybe format internal SD and start fresh. Haven't had this issue just trying to help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
I have formatted /system and /data etc between ROM changes, how would I do a fastboot wipe? I'm willing to try anything at this point!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Actually, scratch that, I know exactly how to do that...except I can't boot into fastboot. Is this indicative of something wrong? Will I have to go back to SBF?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.

I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.

One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.

The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?

Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoupySauce:
I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Cheers, have downloaded and will report back. The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!). I have .36 radio installed already (I think, will check...it's the Brazilian one isn't it?) .

Just to check then...you have all the check boxes in wake my android ticked?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tytung2020:
1. Unable to hold and operate it with the thumb of the hand that is holding it, must use two hand;

2. Yes you can fold the cover back to use your thumb, but this will eventually make the edge worn off easily, and also create ugly lines along the edge surface

Any comments?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ashn2k:
Tried it for a day and found out it's very annoying. It protects the screen from dust and all but it also makes it more harder to hold the phone, let alone do any business with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tytung2020:
Yes, this is the problem of all horizontally-opened covers like Zenus, not just the Samsung flip-cover.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] yyl:
Same here. I used another flip cover case (from another third-party vendor that I shall not name). Very elegant and beautiful case, but the flip cover always stands in the way of me operating the phone. I got tired of it after a few days, and switched back to my slim case (which only covers the back).

After all, this device is phone first, tablet second. I need to be able to quickly access it to take phone calls, send messages, etc., without the hassle of constantly opening the flip cover.

But to give the flip-cover case some credit, it is very nice for reading an ebook on the Note. It makes the device feel like a real paperback. You can actually hold on to the flip cover with your left hand and read.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tripleteamed:
Totally agree. Waiting for my tpu case to come in.... Andmy sgp ultra crystal screen protector.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arogance1:
I received the FOTA update today to 2.29.771.3

It said it was system enhancements.

Anyone know exactly what enhancements these are?

Is there a definitive list somewhere of what each of the update is for?

SGS tools is not made for SGY obviously, but some stuff is useable, such as USSD code (in part).

actually "SGS tools" just gives you an idea, how SGY tools should look like. only useable functionality is some of the USSD codes. that's still SOMETHING !!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8009280&postcount=1

SGS tools is open source on google-code.

so somebody with time at his hands might take a look at it so it works for SGY. an USSD-app is a cool thing I believe.

tuxility is open source too. app to BAK/RESTORE kernels

[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
I deleted 2 apps from my Tablet but the icons are still there though they are no longer working.

Is there a way to completely erase the icons?

Thank you for your advice.

p.s. the apps are Go Weather Animate Wallpaper and and GO Weather Widget Skin HTC
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Are you saying these icons are showing in the app launcher? Or in the respective widget/wallpaper menus?
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
They still appear in the Home Screen but .when I click them, they say "Application is not installed".

The 2 apps are downloaded from the Market but deleted later.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
press and hold on the icons and drag them to the trash bin that shows up on the screen. voila!

Done!

Thanks a lot.

Just wanted to ask how to install ClockWorkMod Recovery
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
all custom kernel are pre rooted and has cmw inbuilt..so if you flash any custom kernel then you will get cmw...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] noradoor:
May I ask how to flash ftf file using flashtool?Is it similar to flash kernel?

And do we have to update baseband like .64 and that needs flashtool,too?

Sorry for my noob qeustion,I'd like to update to .64,which FXP recommended.:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
to flash ftf file you have to go in to flashmod..when you download and extract flashtool(version 6.+) there will a firmware folder..put ftf file into that folder then open flashtool... click on flash and then click on flashmod then just select your ftf file and press ok..switch off your mobile..then press volume down button and coonect your mobile to pc using usb cable..flashtool will flash that firmware...:D

kernel

on this part;

Flashing Kernel (boot.img):

do i need to have my bootloader unlocked or not?

Reason is i have the stock .62 and i want to root it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
yes you need to have unlock bootloader..without it you cant flash any custom kernel...:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] noradoor:
But if you just want to root it and stay on .62,you don't have to unlock your bootloader.

What you need to do is flash older version(eg .42) and root it via this thread,then upgrade to .62 by OTA.(don't change any system files before the completion of upgrade)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
DO this:

Flash a fresh .42 firmware using FlashTool

Root it using DooMlorDs Easy Rooting Kit version 4

Connect to a WiFi or a stable 3G and update via Update Center App on your phone

Done!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fbloise:
did everything as you guys said. Root it fine. However after updating the FW over the air (OTA), the phone doesnt want to turn back on anymore.

Any advice?

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Well answering my own question, I was able to revive the phone back to .62 using Wotan.

Now I will get back to .42 but will stay there as I dont want that to happen again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
did you unlock your bootloader.:confused:if yes then you can brick your mobile f you do ota update..and if you have unlock bootloader then flash custom kernel it is the best way to have root on any firmware...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
Very risking updating yur phone using tha OTA method if yu have unlock yur bootloader..... but if yu use testpoint method, den yu have no problem!!!

just use flashtool to flash yur phone with latest firmware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fbloise:
thats the funny thing, i didnt unlock my bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nomailx:
no offense, but the wire thing is a little extreme for me. I guess i'll pass and wait for a more conveniant tool than playing with wires.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
It's easy to unlock your bootloader using wire. Just connect the main point to ground.. I did in just first attempt..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
very easy brov.... i use tha pin pointed part to touch my phone ground point & connect tha other end to my usb cable mouth dat enters my phone.

Hi.I have a problem with flashing kernel.I do everything as in 1st post.I try booth methods,if I try do it with flashtool it says your device must be rooted first.my devie its rooted already.First method with cmd window dosent work to.Any ideas how to get it work?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
Did you unlocked your bootloader? You need to unlock it to be able to flash a custom kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
first did you have unlock bootloader??if yes then proceed..and you should have all drivers installed..

and in my opinion use flashtool method..i use only flahtool method..

1.open flashtool

2.instead of connecting phone to pc using usb cable just switch of your phone

3.now while connecting usb cable press volume up button..then you will get blue light..that means you are on right way..and log will tail that you are in fastboot

4.click on fastboot mod

5.then click on select kernel to flash

6.navigate to where your flash file is located(boot.img)..double click on that boot.img file

7.click on reboot device into system

thats it.......
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tego:
Hi, sorry for noob question but is there a way how to backup installed apps (and maybe their settings) and restore it after flashing new ROM ?

Hi

I have some questions if i unlock my bootloader it is possible to update it with android 4.0 ICS? my phone is xperia mini st15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
Not officially but you would be able to flash roms like fxp cm9 or MiniCMSandwich that are ics roms so yeah.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hfmls:
hi guys, i think i have with success unlocked my bootloader, it shows r and not R now. but btw how do i confirm i have unlocked it? i used testpoint.

my problem is i can't get a blue light with volume+ ..i never did :|

do i need specific drivers? how to force use those drivers?

thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
Well mate the good news yeah you have an unlocked bootloader.

On the other hand the bad news is that you have a sim locked phone that needs to be unlocked to have access to the fastboot mode.

And the worst news is that at the moment the only way to unlock your sim locked phone is paying to wotan server or omnius or setool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hfmls:
so, if i unlock my phone paying like 14€ to wontan i only have to do it once right? its hardware unlock not software unlock right?

so if i unlock my phone i'll get the blue light of life? :) tx

btw, wich is the cheapest and fastest?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
Yep you only have to pay once and all of them charge almost the same. As for the best well all of them are good and they use the same procedure: test point.

And yes once you unlocked it you will have the blue light of wisdom jejejeje :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hfmls:
u were right mate now i have blue light :) and my phone is unlocked. sweet, now i can test all images, thank u

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Using those testpoints may not be actually THAT hard to do,

but I ll just wait for an unofficial software way to unlock my bootloader,

just like I did with my Xperia X8 some months ago.

I m just not comfortable doing whats described in the tutorial.

This is my only every day phone after all.Don't wanna risk anything.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Either unlock via official way or patch via test point method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Can I reverse the process if I use the official method or my IMEI gets permanently blacklisted?

N.

Sent from one of my 5 iPads.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
IMEI isn't blacklisted at all. The unlock code can only be made from the phone's IMEI.

Bootloader can be relocked, if done via official method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
So,you re saying that I could just re lock the bootloader again and go on flashing the new ICS ROM later this month/early June?

No consequences? :)

N.

Sent from one of my 5 iPads.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yes, should go without problems.

How can anyone install other kernels if the phone encountered bad blocks during fastboot?
[LG Nitro HD] YoungGun821:
So I thought I'd post here since I believe this phone is the closest to the lg spectrum and there is no lg spectrum forum here yet..

The main issue I am having is other callers hear me. The mic seems to be set a such a low pick up volume that others have a hard time hearing me. I mostly use voip app's like Viber and Skype. Who ever I talk to always tells me they have a really hard time hearing me.

I plug a headset w/mic in and that does not help at all.

Any idea or ways to help others hear me better?

I assume that I'm gonna have to wait for a root and some kind of 'mic gain' app..?
[LG Nitro HD] xordos:
So, is the mic volume good in following cases?

1) use a recorder app

2) use the normal phone (not voip)

This should at least give you an idea it is app specific issue or a global/hardware issue.

HTH,

xordos
[LG Nitro HD] lucidvtec:
How diff.is.the.spectrum compared to.the nitro

We dont.have a.forum yet...sweet phone

Wonderin if we could port some roms from u guys

I dont even.know.how to get to the stock recovery on this phone

Got it rooted thou
[LG Nitro HD] YoungGun821:
Please explain how you got yours rooted..
[LG Nitro HD] finndo:
Head over to Android forums dot com go to the spectrum pages, there is a one click windows .bat root, and a win/Mac/Linux scripted root, the one click windows .bat also adds CWM if you choose to.

And in case you don't know (I did not) you have to put the spectrum in tethering-ethernet mode to get debug mode to activate on the phone.
[LG Nitro HD] Evo2DroidX:
LG Spectrum LOVE

Honestly, I was disappointed in this phone as it feels like too much plastic. Especially coming from my Droid X and HTC Evo, heavy phones. But the little bugger warmed it's way into my heart with its impressive speed. The only complaint is sometimes people I talk to it sounds to them like i'm in a tunnel and when I talk to my girlfriend, who also has this phone, I can't hear her unless the mic is in a near perfect position to pic up her voice; I think it actually pics up the voice and registers it as background noise and cancels it if it's too quiet.. Just an idea. Could be wrong. And video chat is good, but audio through video chat is HORRID.

Cant wait for ICS and then WE NEED a space in XDA dedicated to ROOT and custom ROM on this bad boy. Verizon pushed it pretty hard a lot of people are going to own this device! Why not, it's worthy.
[LG Nitro HD] liteon163:
Yeah, the Spectrum has a lot of potential, potential that's hamstrung by Gingerbread and the dumb Optimus UI.

In the short term, using a different launcher helps a lot. In the middle term, rooting and removing some bloat helps. Installing a custom ROM will help too. One day soon I'll drop Broken Out Spectrum onto my phone.

In the long run, Ice Cream Sandwich will truly unleash the beast cowering under the crap it's hiding under on this phone. I'm really looking forward to trying the Nova and Apex launchers when we finally get ICS.

Hopefully CM9 will follow hot on the heels of ICS...

So, I'm going to tweak my phone in an attempt to get it working as well as it can on GB. Then, eventually, ICS will (should?) let my phone work the way it was meant to. I just have to be patient enough to not go get a new phone when ICS comes to new phone before we get it.
