with update since unrooted now. is there root method yet if were in FD24
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, it involves flashing pre-rooted EL24 in ODIN so you might as well skip a redundant step of applying an OTA EL29->FD24 update, then re-applying FD24 with root.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes Sprint to test a OTA candidate before it gets approved? Working under the assumption they don't find any hang up issues. I'm just not sure if we're talking 2 days or 2 weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Put it this way, RDFs are usually coming out around 1 per week, sometimes quicker. So you should have a better idea by next week. Likely if you see a new RDF, this wasn't deemed the official one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
SF, you are consistently the most articulate developer on this forum. Your posts are clear, concise and always helpful. I, for one, appreciate the care you take in explaining the hows and whys of what we're doing. I've clicked thanks numerous times, but I've long wanted to put it in writing. Done. Huzzahs and kudos, sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Well said Rusted Root. I scrolled through this thread and skipped over most everything except sfhub's posts. He mentioned using Chris41g's EL26 kernel to flash ICS Roms. That's the safest strategy because as explained by Mijjah and others, it's the last kernel available with true CWM. For those who don't have it DL it here. I flash it with mobile odin then as the phone is trying to boot (it won't) press power and volume up to boot into EL26 recovery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Thanks Data (BTW, remember Star Trek -- Next Generation?) You spooked me. At the same time as I was ODINing Rogue's FC22 to get CWM with sfhub's FD24 to flash Calk's FD24 I read your post. (I've not been happy with battery performance perhaps because I used his no-data version (too lazy to do a clean install), but who knows?) Then I thought, I've been lucky in the past taking some risky shortcuts -- this is an omen. Don't be a schmuck, flash chris's EL26 CWM and take the smarter way out. I did and just flashed Calk's latest. I was gonna say I bricked my phone, but that would be cruel. Success. Thanks. Good timing, eh? I'll trust Calk and sf that this MAY not be the last of the leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
So does anyone know what will happen when the official official ota drops, while we are on this version of FD 24 . Do our phones get ignored by ota update or does it try to install over what we have installed with this update zip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I couldn't agree more!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If FD24 ends up being selected as the official OTA, then your phone will ignore the update.

If a newer release is selected as the official OTA and you are on FD24, it will download the OTA and ask you if you want to install. If you say yes, it will try and install and fail with an assert failure. Nothing bad will happen, it just won't install.

It will keep wasting your bandwidth and download again unless you do some extra measures to prevent the download, upgrade on your own to the released OTA version, or downgrade to EL29 and allow the OTA to do the upgrade.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeas:
Hi, I got a very annoying problem.

Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.

Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28tovette:
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeas:
I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28tovette:
Maybe calibrating the battery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia_2011:
go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kZard:
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery

If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.

Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CEDDTU:
thanks so much..............
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeas:
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.

I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Try wiping battery stats then charge to 100% (it may help, not sure)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
Yeah tried that but it didnt seem to work :/

could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger :P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdavietnam:
I have the same problem.

My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved :( )

Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n@twork:
Maybe your solution

I

had

the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.

Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...

I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...

I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.

So I think that kernel could be the problem.

Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.

*Maybe the solution is*

Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :

- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")

- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)

Note :

-

With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery

- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked

So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel

Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael_or:
voltage

Hi,

I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.

As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.

I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.

As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.

I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...

peace.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.

Good to know:

The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.

Symptoms of a failing battery:

* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.

* Device drains fast, even when not used.

* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.

* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.

When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.

Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".

There's nothing wrong with the device.

Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.

But beware:

There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.

There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:

More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.

If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic :) I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems

Also, N@twork, i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

Thanks!!!!!!!

Hey mate, I just want to thank you a bunch for your useful post and contribution to help me to solve the mistery that made me almost trash my z1c away for good. I was about to send my phone to tech service because the sudden shuts off of my device (original battery has lasted 2y5m) were not solved with a supposed "new" battery (it wasn't new but a defective one that lasted a couple of weeks) so after that I thought that my phone was the real culprit. Then, after doing an "extensive" research in a countless number of threads discussing this problem, I finally came across with yours that made me realise to give my device another chance by buying again a new battery that finally made the trick :victory: :victory: :victory:

Thanks thanks thanks mate!!!
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Since updating my XE to ICS I've noticed a bug with the wifi signal strength icon. On unlocking the device I see minimal wifi strength, but then if I lock and unlock again, the wifi strength shows a full signal. As far as I can tell, the actual true signal strength is the same, it just the wifi bars that appear to have a glitch.

Anyone else get this?

Same experience here - I thought I was going mad!
[HTC Sensation] TheStigFIN:
Same here.. And also I see sometimes minimal wifi strength icon while wifi is off.. :O
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I'm glad it's not just me then. I should have mentioned that I noticed this after I'd done a factory reset, not sure if the problem was there before that.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Wow guys you're so funny :D Its not a bug, when phone is locked it goes into sleep mode and lowers wifi strength to save battery
[HTC Sensation] Bullitt_McQueen:
I can understand that. But why does the icon not show full strength when the phone is unlocked? I'm currently on Wifi and the only part of the icon that is white is the dot at the bottom. I'm next to my router so the strength should be all the way up.
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
It takes time to regain the signal. :D
[HTC Sensation] Bullitt_McQueen:
Ahhhh, makes perfect sense and, now that I know what I'm looking at/for, that's exactly what I'm seeing!

Thanks Deathsongx3!
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Deleted - double post
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I used Wifi Analyser this time and with the wifi reception showing at just one bar, then again with full bars after another unlock, the signal strength remains the same other than my hand effecting the reception slightly. That would seem to suggest that it's nothing to do with sleep mode or low power wifi.

If the signal strength remains the same, then it must just be a glitch with the wifi signal indicator in the status bar?

[YOUTUBE]c_hw_VZhymA[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC Sensation] Bullitt_McQueen:
I wonder if the "Best Wifi Performance" option in Advanced Wifi settings has any bearing on this issue? I'm calling it an issue because Seagull's post definitely suggests it is...
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Not sure, but I don't have 'Best Wifi' selected.
[HTC Sensation] Bullitt_McQueen:
Hmm, neither do I. I'm going to select it and see what happens...
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Did anyone get to the bottom of this?

I'm wondering if the 'settings update' patch that came after ICS has anything to do with it.
[HTC Sensation] quenxer:
Hello,

i had same Problem under Gingerbread, but founded a solution. Its not perfect, but it works. Download the App "Network Signal Info" over Play Store. After Installation, put a Wifi Widget to your Homescreen. Now the Signal works correctly. I hope this helps.:)
