[HTC One X] Dreist:
Hello Guys,

so i got my new one x yesterday and im not very happy with it.

1. It does some random reboots, just lying around and reboots sometimes.

2. Phone "hangs up" with black screen and blinking buttons. As far as i know this is a "kernel panic"

This happened about 5 times now, last time as im writing this.

3. Battery drain is huge, seems like a result of the above problems. Android OS has about 90% battery usage and it dropped to 82% after 54mins without charging and just lying around.

On the both screens you can hopefully notice it, 26mins and it lost 10% battery.

After this kernel panic the battery drain changed and the Android OS stopped to drain so much battery.

This is the "out of the box" state of my phone. I changed nothing beside from charging the battery and installed some apps (normal stuff, angry birds and such).

Does someone have a idea about this? I hope or assume these a software related problems. But im not sure with the kernel panic thing can this be due to hardware issues? Should i ask for a replace?
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
You said you installed a few apps and games. Try going back to factory settings first, wait a while and see if the pattern repeats, if the phone behaves normally, then it must be something you installed, not all apps are optimised for ICS.

Good luck!
[HTC One X] shaky156:
check your kernel version pls :)
[HTC One X] Dreist:
Ok thanks for your first impressions and help. Im trying the factory reset now.

I have done a screenshot of the kernel version.
[HTC One X] djolebih:
First of all, and probably most important is to leave your phone charging for 6-8 hours without turning it on.

Then its spend the battery time where you do whatever it takes to.empty the battery completely until the phone is ready to shut down. Shut it down. Repeat charge process from above with device off. Turn it on and then you can be ready to test it for real. As far as reboots, you really should let the system settle down a bit. Give it a day or 2 without some extra heavy usage and I'm sure it will be just fine.
[HTC One X] hello00:
i hope this isnt a joke
[HTC One X] brent8577:
joke or not, normal stuff apps can cause problems. the whole Android OS battery usage is because of apps you installed. it's a brand new phone and i wouldn't be too worried about it. i switched from Samsung to HTC because Samsung releases broken source code and doesn't seem like they really know how to do anything but stick hardware together. if i'm not happy with HTC, then maybe Motorola is making the next Nexus phone and i'll give that a try.
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Please do keep us updated on how's everything working out ? Did the factory reset solved the issue? Hope this ain't an April fool joke ! Anyways hope everything goes well for you mate. Kept my fingers crossed on mine one x :eek:
[HTC One X] Dreist:
So ok, i tried the factory reset twice. Seems Not to work atm. Im going to try it again. I hope Arhd and s-off is working soon :D

Im curios, maybe there are more ppl with this Problem after monday / tomorrow.

Ill keep you up2date.
[HTC One X] catachresistant:
Return it.

There's no way a factory-reset device should be behaving that way. My guess would be hardware problems.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
First wave of a new phone is always more risky, you can get a faulty device
[HTC One X] hermand:
Agreed, it sounds screwed to me.

I can't speak for the rest of the world - but I don't really know why people panic. If the phone ends up being unstable it's going back and they'll be refunding my contract - it's really that simple.
[HTC One X] Chartist:
There was a similar problem on the original Desires. Linked to overheating especially with GPS.
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
I'm not going to say your wrong but could you post some evidence? Ok the first part is per the user manual so I will agree with that one. However there should be no need to empty and re-charge the battery should there? According to this site: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_charge_when_to_charge_table Deep discharge wears the battery down. It also says no priming is needed.

Then the second point letting the system settle down? what? let what "settle down"? I don't even understand this statement. If you explain what you mean and again if you can provide some evidence that would be great. Thanks.
[HTC One X] Bakken1982:
same problem

I experience the exact same problem. Random reboots and crashes.

What did you end up doing?
[HTC One X] kubiak_fr:
same problem too

Me too.

Get the phone for 2 days, and randoms reboots.

Get the same kernel that Dreist.

Try yesterday a factory reset, but no change.
[HTC One X] mactruck:
I have the same problem. Constant reboots out of the blue. I'm back on my nexus which is super reliable. Probably gonna return it.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Got 3 reboots in a row yesterday but it was after flashing bricked kernel and battery under 23%, plugged the AC cable and no more reboots,perhaps the battery level is false with bricked kernel...
[HTC One X] mactruck:
Just swapped mine out for a new one but now the new one has a yellowish screen. (sigh)
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
i was thinking since the razr ics update will have a signed kernel and it will be able to pass through the bootloader if we could use the razr ics update(since its like our roms all cross platform due to same processor,resolutions) and mod it a little so there is no 4G or webtop and change the device name to D3/solana then flash it as an update instead of a zip in recovery/fastboot like as if it was an OTA update that we sideload. we may have to return to stock to do this, or use otaroot keeper? i dont know if it will need to be re signed after changing things. but since this is an official kernel and the zip has a path motorola made it may get passed our bootloader if the unlock process is the same for all phones.

also maybe someone with a RAZR can use adb and see the commands during the update process to see if the phone spits out any lines of code when it opens the bootloader to replace the kernel?
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
I'm guessing it won't work as the kernel is signed only for that device and not the d3. Not to mention hw differences.
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
the cameras are the same, they both have the same processors just razr is .2 ghz faster and running a little version different, the way they use the camcorder is the same, and the way they run flash player/hardware accelleration is the same. if we can trick the GB kernel to run the roms we have now then tricking the phone to use the razr kernel could be easy given we can get it passed the bootloader securely. once its passed the BL hashcode can get codecs to take a little easier since we will have the ability to run the DEV- ION drivers instead of getting ducati to decode and re code them for the GB kernel.

this may be worth a try instead of everyone saying "oh that wont work," then waiting god knows how long until hash gets the codecs to work, or motorola might just update up in 3-6 months. it might be a sloppy thing but it may work
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
double post
[Motorola Droid 3] ZaneKaminski:
I doubt it'll work. The keys used to sign the Droid 3's kernel and the Razr's kernel are different. It would be just as hard (and really, afaik, impossible) to get our devices to run the Razr's kernel than it would be for us to get it to run any other kernel we can make/compile.
[Motorola Droid 3] cappysw10:
Keep brow beating Motorola, they "promised" unlock, blah, blah, blah

If we don't push though you'll never get anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
im hoping hashcode gets the codecs working by may/june, if not then ill just go pick up a used D4/razr since they should be 100% on it by then or maybe a gnex off CL for 300 i really want to keep the d3 though.
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
It may work if we package the kernel into the ICS rom by hash or flash it separately. But who knows how much work it may take for that to happen. Also some DROID 3s may not be able to run that .2ghz faster so we have to tone that back. It maybe be simpler to port over razr ICS codecs
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
This what will likely happen
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I could be mistaken here, but it is my understanding that the kernel acts as a sort of intermediate between the phone's hardware and OS. Seeing as how the RAZR lacks a physical keyboard, there could likely be some very pertinent information missing in it's kernel that is needed in order for the D3 keyboard to be usable. If this is the case, we would probably be better off attempting to utilize an ICS leak for the D4.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tyfighter:
Full disclosure: I'm not a dev. My eyes glaze over the second someone mentions compiling or code.

That being said, I feel that at this point, maybe these types of off-the-wall ideas might be valuable. Even if the OP wasn't 100% on the right track, maybe that will light a fire in a more capable person's head.
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
see thats the thing, our ICS roms werent programmed to utilize a hard keyboard either (sourced on the Gnex) so we can have that fixed. what im getting at is the razr, bionic, D4 and D3 run the same OMAP 4430 processor with the same efuse so it should be the same key for the bootloader. when we package the signed bootloader with either a modded RAZR rom to remove 4G and webtop and/or rename the phone id then resign it OR package the signed kernel in our ics roms then *flash as a manual update* it may get passed the bootloader. since the EFUSE looks for official firmware, the razr ics rom is signed by moto and the kernel has the efuse keys attatched (for OMAP 4430) so it may let it in. we would need root access in the rom to do changes (freeze/delete webtop) etc. we also need to wait for a reliable flashable zip of the razr rom since the only way to get it is a fatal way(cheesecake). BUT this is the deal, if we do this this will totally take you off the upgrade path if there is even one anymore, so an SBF back to 2.3.4 will need to happen in case of anything.

hashcode is more than capable of doing this ;) its just a matter of if hes brave enough to try since hes tried everything else and we havent heard anything about codecs in awhile.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
A few things

1). Signed. This means you can't edit it, change it, modify it or do anything with it...and it has to be signed for your device. Razr kernel will not be usable, nor will a Droid 4 when it comes out later.

2). Our D3 ICS CM9 rom is not built off the GNex ROM, it's built from source (AOSP) modified by CyanogenMod team and then further modified by Hashcode. Hashcode is modifying it to work with the D3 Gingerbread Kernel and that is why the hardware keyboard works.

3). Unless Motorola releases an ICS kernel/Rom for the D3.....OR Motorola releases an unlocker for the bootloader......the best will see is a modified source built ROM running on the stock Gingerbread kernel.

I'm not going to list someone hacking/cracking the D3 bootloader signing key, etc.... While it's entirely possible.......the Droid 2, Droid X have still not been cracked....and they've been out how long now?

We can run something like Hashcode's CM9 ICS and enjoy it and hope that Hashcode can get as much out of it as possible.......running on top of the Gingerbread kernel.....other than that it's just going to be hoping/waiting for Motorola to do something.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
T

The problem we run into (i messed with this idea a bit) is that /boot wont allow unsigned code, the file containing the kernel needs to be flashed to /boot and is signed by motorola so it cant be tampered with and is also signed with a product code allowing it to only be flashed on that model. We cant changed the model # in the file without altering the signature so the phone wont accept the flash anyways. As for flashing it along with hashcodes rom, i think thats what theyre trying to do with kexec (this seems to be the most likely way we have to get custom kernels running on any bootloader locked phones). The problem with kexec (it's an app that loads you into an alternate kernel after the first kernel has booted, it's like a handover) is that our kernels have to have kexec support compiled into them right now by motorola for it to work(not sure theyve done this). Really, without a bootloader unlock or kernel upgrade by motorola (meaning ics and a 3.0+ kernel signed for our phones) i think we're stuck with what we're doing atm.

Perhaps we could do something like move the /boot partition to somewhere else but i imagine it's been tried and moving /boot to a partition on internal storage or something probably just causes the phone to not boot at all.
[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
i dont understand why we cant completely wipe the phone of the data/rom AND bootloader and create a custom bootloader.
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
I think that would be eFuse and harder than it sounds entirely. Again may be easier to port razr codecs when it becomes available. Which should be soon according to speculation
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
We actually don't need Motorola to have compiled kexec in (fully, at least. I think there has to be some basic support there, which there might be). As long as we can load kernel modules (which I believe we can) we could create our own and run that. The problem with kexec, though, is that it drops kernel communications with the radio for long enough for the radio to think the phone has shut down or errored or something, and it will shut itself off. So, upon loading into the new kernel, the phone will have no radio, and the only way to reinitialize it is to go through the bootloader process again, which would mean we couldn't have an unsigned kernel. It would be nice if there was a way to communicate to the radio that the kernel wasn't actually shutting off yet or if there was a way to reboot the radio after switching kernels, but sadly there isn't (as far as I know).
[Motorola Droid 3] ZaneKaminski:
I say we all put our computing power together to crack Motorola's private key that they signed the kernel with, folding@home style.

</semi-sarcasm>

Edit: Okay, actually being productive here... is the radio image signed? Because we could use kexec to load a new kernel, but modify the radio code so that it doesn't assume something horrible has happened when the kernel stops communicating with it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Because even a fully wiped phone will only accept files that are signed by motorola.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
I believe the only way we can see a custom kernel is using the method some guy (i forgot who) has been able to kinda do. He's on the Razrs forums and he was able to get a custom kernel running on his phone. Unfortuantly this kernel can only use 1 out of the 2 cores, so it is not done yet. From what I remember he gets the phone to boot with the stock kernel and then has his kernel installed over it. I think the boot up process takes a little bit longer but it is a small price to pay for customization.

Flashing the Razrs ICS is futile. The only thing we can do is maybe kang some prop settings and apks. That's about it. We'd have a better chance with the Bionic, but it's still unlikley it will help anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZaneKaminski:
Know if you can link me to this guy's kernel project?

hi everyone,

i just flashed team ics sgs RC4.2 on my i900 and also flashed semaphore kernel with it.

previously on darkyrom or stock, the screen will wake up to show the unlock screen when there's a notification like SMS, whatsapp, etc.

now, i only get the sound notification and the screen does not wake up.

any tweaks/workarounds?

thanks!

Hi,

This app in the Play Store is not compatible with Android 4 ICS and apparently the developer has abandoned it. (play.google.com/store/search?q=WebSMS+Developergar)

Is there a chance that someone here can continue this project? It is a really great app (sends 10 international sms/day for free) and I don't want to miss it when upgrading.

There is also an api available from developer garden. (w w w.developergarden.com/apis/apis-sdks/send-sms/)

I would be really grateful if someone here were to take over this project!

Cheers!

P.s.: also see this thread for description of the issue: code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/issues/detail?id=635&q=ics&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Product%20Component%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shailentj:
It's sad that the developer abandoned the project. It used to work great.

However, the developergarden APIs are publicly available. When I have time, I will dig in the code, and attempt to build a little PHP script that can be used to send SMS via a browser. Once that is done, I will port the working prototype to an Android app/fix the connector.
