Silly question but you aren't running v1 are you? It had a bit of debug code in it that caused it to ignore the actual value and complete in 30 seconds. You should be on 2.0 ( v5)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PrimeDeluxe:
I'm using 2.1, the latest Update from the market.

It's counting the whole time but at the end something going wrong

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rampage2020:
yes some time the counting stops when the device is locked(screen off) and resumes from the same after the device is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bendix83:
I tried it with an 2.1A universal charger (2 USB-Ports)

20-80% in 3h28m1s ~350mA :mad:

Guess Pin2 and 3 is not bridged. I searched amazon and did not find a charger with shorted data pins. So i think i have to remove the dust of my soldering iron and build a charger-cable by myself.

[edit]

I found an USB-Charger Adapter, but is it worth buing it for ~10€ ?

[/edit]
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cikomiko:
or you can buy the timri dock station which also costst around 1o€. 1x data cable and 1x charge cable are included.

you can find it ebay
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
Why are there separate charge and data cables? Can't a cable with the bridged pins to charge quicker also be used to send/receive data?

If so, why have anything but a single cable? Given you can't easily tell what cable is wired one way or another, it's a major PITA!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xadious:
When you say "charge cable" do you mean a shorted usb cable or did you already have a separate dedicated usb charge cable that can't transmit data?

And on the flipside, when you say "data cable", are you referring to the original Sony one that came with the phone?

Using the Sony EP800 charger & usb cable that came with the phone i got: 5982s, 631mah

Does your phone get much hotter than normal at the higher (2000ma) charge rates?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
Either the pins are bridged or you can transfer data, not both.

What I'm wondering is, why don't take a data cable both for charging and data transfer and simply short the pins on the charger's end?

would this charger make my phone charge faster?

http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Fo...d=1340970996&sr=8-1&keywords=playbook+charger

If i got the rapid charger one, wold it be faster?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigPhil:
Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been away on holiday for a little while.

That BlackBerry charger will charge your phone faster than any Sony charger. Looks like a good buy. I personally use the earlier model playbook one with the orange tip. It is rated at 2.0 amps, but is over twice the price.

To the person with the 2.1a charger that is under performing, assuming it isn't an Apple iPad charger (which I have only done simple tests with) then one of these

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-data-charging-extension-cable-for-samsung-p1000-black-91141

or these

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-power-adapter-for-samsung-p1000-81753

will sort you out. I have confirmed that with my 1.5A charger that outputs .4a with a data cable. Slip one of these in and I get 1.3a. Both work. Both are dead cheap.

To the person asking about heat, the phone gets warm to the touch with the 2A charger, but no warmer than a 1A charger, and it soon cools down. Not looked at battery temperatures. Perhaps that should go on my to-do list for Charger Timer 3. I just have to stop playing MW3 and fire up Eclipse in the evenings.

Cheers

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
do u have a link to the orange tip one? I am in the states so not sure if I can order it. Also is 2 Amps charging rate going to be too much for the battery?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bendix83:
My 2.1A USB-Charger is not an Apple-Charger.

Thank your for the Links, but i have cut one of my USB-Cables to connect the Data-wires. With this selfmade charger cable my SXS is consuming up to 1.3A while charging. :)

Even my Archos 101 G9 is not saying "slow charge mode" anymore.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
i bought 2 of the orange tipped chargers, do i have to worry about rewiring USBs to make it charge faster? Also will my battery degrade faster if its charging at 2A? seeing as how this is a 1500mah battery, that would mean it would charge at 1.5C right? normally 1A is safe, but that was back in the days, I've heard of newer batteries able to charge at 5C.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BigPhil:
The orange tipped chargers have the cable built in, no need to mod any thing. The phone will only pull as much power as it deems safe for the battery, which I think is capped at 1.75 A ( pure guess)

You will be happy with those chargers, I wouldnt be without mine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rkanwar:
Ive just order myself an ep851. Dont know if I made the right move but I will test and compare and post my results :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rkanwar:
Hi finally I managed to conduct a test with my new charger and here is my result with the charger timer result.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaiseris:
Sorry for bringing old thread up.

I wonder if anyone found more cheap chargers/cables (DX, eBay etc.) that perform well. I'm especially interested in so called "charge cables", because I already own some decent chargers 1A-2.1A but no suitable cable. All of the Ebay ones seem to be data cables.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaiseris:
Remembered that I have one of those cheap no-name retractable micro USB cables at home. It wasn't doing a good job as a data cable. But surprisingly with it connected to a TomTom 1A charger Current Widget was showing ~900mA - double of what it was showing with EP800 (500-550mA). So I connected it to charge for the night with Charger Timer started. In the morning I found these results:

But it doesn't make sense, does it?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdjy:
first i wanna thank you guys for this awesome forum

i have an AT&T aria phone that randomly reboots

LIBERTY PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-1.02.0000

MICROP-831b

TOUCH panel-stn21_03

radio-7.16.35.11

Nov 4 2010

the phone is rooted with CWM v2.5.0.1 istalled.

i flashed the original ATT rom 2.2 from HTC website and it didnt fix it

i flashed shipped att rom and it didnt fix.. also flashed rooted rom yet no luck

1-i tried to unlock the bootloader with HTCDEV.COM but it gives me error message

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...INFO[err] command error

2-i tried to use the revolutianary website and no luck either

3-i tried to put the original img on the sd card LIBEIMG.zip and booted into bootloader but the phone didnt recognize the file at all.

i am a newbie in the android word but i can swear i did every thing by the book in these last 3 steps** at least as i could understand**

p.s: i dont know wut or who did this to this phone
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
This is sort of a long shot, but did you happen to install a 32GB SD card around the time the problem started happening?

If not, did you change ANYTHING else? new SIM card? new charger? etc.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdjy:
nope i did not install 32 GB card..

i dont know exactly what happened to this phone.. i took it AS IS..

when i first got the phone it had the original at&t 2.2 stock S-off ... i was lucky to flash CWM using fastboot..

i think if i can install HBOOT again and turn S on this might solve the problem... or may be i need to do something to the partitions but as i told u im a newbie in here
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdjy:
i am sure it is a software problem due to the error message i get when i try to unlock the bootloader...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
I tried everything: stock AT&T Froyo rom, returned to S-on, new sd card, new sim card. Also returned to HTC for "repair," but it still rebooted so I returned to HTC for another try.

BTW, I used the Unrevoked method to root/S-off the phone, and the S-on method listed in the development forum to take the phone back to stock. Both with no problem (several times). The S-on was a little trickie, had to load stock AT&T rom, then follow the S-on instructions, which includes loading the stock AT&T Froyo rom again.

I'll report the results of my 2nd HTC repair on the 2 Arias reboot problem thread.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdjy:
i am trying to install HBOOT 1.03 but no luck.. i think if there is a way to reflash the hboot this would solve the problem
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Don't try to do that. HBOOT 1.03 will not fix your problem, it'll only make it worse (not being able to easily S-OFF). You should avoid HTC's official bootloader unlocking method -- it's worse than Revolutionary.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdjy:
thank u drumist...

i tried already but no luck.. it says device ID error..

i am so desperate in here.. is there anyway i can fix this aria??
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
To my surprise I had called HTC and found out that my phone was still under warranty. As I said above, the phone is now back at HTC for a 2nd try. I will let you know what they found as soon as I get the phone back -- it took about a week last time.

Drumist was very supportive in my effort to find the problem, and against his advice and out of desperation, I did restore the HBOOT, and, as he said above, it did not solve the problem. The phone was back to being completely stock -- ATT Froyo 2.2 and S-ON -- and it sill had random reboots --taking anywhere from 1 minute to almost an hour before rebooting. Which is really annoying when trying to troubleshoot. I even re-rooted and S-Off'd the phone using Revolutionary, and still had the problem. I then returned the phone to stock again prior to sending it to HTC for repair. Checked one more time... still random rebooting. As I am now using another phone -- Atrix 4G -- solving this has become more of a challenge.

The other thing that's amazing is that I have 2 ATT Arias with exactly the same problem!

I wonder if it is a location thing. You don't happen to reside in SE Pennsylvania do you?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charbo187:
the same thing has been happening to me. it just started happening recently.

about 10-20 times a day the phone just buzzes and goes straight to the white HTC turning on background.

it's very annoying.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
I have to agree with you, it is really annoying. Luckily I dont use my phone very often. I dont think it is location based, as I'm in eastern Iowa.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Ok. Just got my Aria back from HTC after their 2nd attempt at at fixing the random reboot problem. It rebooted within 5 minutes of turning it on! And twice after that.

The only thing I did was put in the battery. No SD or SIM card, and I did not plug in a battery charger. I didn't even have a chance to connect to my wifi.

I will call HTC tomorrow and anticipate sending it back to HTC for a 3rd try.

I really thought they would send me a new phone after the 2nd attempt at fixing it. Although now I'm really curious about what could be causing this.

It's interesting that that there are more reports about this problem. I had rooted and installed multiple roms before restoring it to stock AT&T Froyo prior to returning it to HTC for repair. Has anyone had this random reboot problem on a phone that was never rooted?

Oh well. I will probably be sending it back to HTC tomorrow, and will keep you posted about the results.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelebz:
I am having the same issues...luckily I now have the HTC One X, however I do still use the Aria as a dedicated GPS, which is frustrating having CONSTANT reboots.

This also only happened recently...I wonder what the issue could be...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Reboot saga

Just spoke to HTC about their failed 2nd attempt to repair my phone. They told me the repair records state that they replaced the "main board," which I assume is like the mother board.

If that is true, I would assume that would be like getting a new phone. If that doesn't fix it, I am truly baffled. The ONLY thing I did was put the old fully charged battery in the phone to test it -- without a SIM or SD card . Could the problem be related to the battery? Since I have another Aria (with its own battery) with the same problem, I doubt it.

Regardless, HTC is having me send it back for a 3rd try to fix it, and they sent me a prepaid shipping label this time.

They said if the 3rd repair attempt doesn't fix it, they would send it to a higher level repair facility for a 4th try! I can't complain about HTC's commitment to trying to repair my phone.

From the responses on this thread, this has become a recent problem. Mine started about a month ago. Any theories out there?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
Thanks for sharing your experiences yar, however I'll be dealing with the reboots cause I cant go that long without my phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
Another thought I had while driving yesterday, Do your guy's that reboots, happen usually after you press the lock button? I've noticed after I send a text message and I hit the lock button is mostly when it will restart. Anyone think it would be that button causing the problem or maybe the HTC Sense Lockscreen?:confused:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
While I'm waiting for HTC to return my phone after their 3rd attempt to fix this problem I have been experimenting with my other Aria.

I booted into CWM and left it there for over an hour and the phone did not reboot. Does this helps isolate the problem?

Also, has anyone managed to stop a random reboot problem?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Just got my Aria back from HTC after their 3rd attempt, and it rebooted within 10 minutes. I even used a new battery, thinking that somehow that was causing the problem. No sim or sd card, and I did not even log onto wifi. They claim they replaced the "main board." Its hard to believe they actually tested it.

Probably beating a dead horse, but I will take HTC up on their offer to send it to the next level of service for a 4th try at fixing the problem. Can't believe it wouldn't be more cost effective to just send me a new phone at this point... but then there might not be any new Arias available.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RWB Jr:
try setting the Aria data comm to Edge only

I've been following this thread with interest since I have an Aria with AT&T "service" and have been experiencing the random reset problems described here. I have not rooted the phone and have the stock 2.2.2 release side loaded through HTC Sync. After several attempts to isolate the problem, I think I may have stumbled across something that works (so far, no reboots in the last 11 hours, but, that is not conclusive evidence yet). Try using the "hidden test feature" by entering *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer keypad. Then under the "Phone information" section select "GSM only". I understand that this forces the phone to use only the Edge data format.

I think there may be a problem with the Aria's firmware that communicates with the 3G network. I was able to use 3G successfully in the past year, but, something must have changed recently in the way AT&T configured this network or at least I suspect that a recent network change has caused these problems with our phones. You would think that AT&T and HTC would be aware of such a problem by now since I imagine many of us are affected. I'm leaving my phone on Edge until I see evidence that the problem has been resolved.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
I will have to give this a try, as for HTC and ATT knowing, they probably don't care and I dont really blame them this is a 2 year old phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
try setting the Aria data comm to Edge only

I will try this, but my phones (I have 2 Arias) reboot even without the SIM card installed and are therefore not logging onto an ATT network, or any network for that matter.

Both phones are unlocked and I have T-Mobile and European SIM cards. I will also trying booting the phone on a different service and see what happens.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
HTC has advanced my situation to "escalated" repair for a 4th attempt to fix the random reboot problem.

The GSM only setting described above did not work for me. The repair representative checked the records and found that they replaced the mother board again, she also said they would probably send me a new phone this time. Isn't the mother board essentially the whole phone? What's left when you take out the mother board? Whatever is left must be the source of the problem.

My other phone is out of warranty. If they send me a new phone I guess we'll never know what the problem is. I won't dare be using the same sim card, sd card or battery in the new phone!

Anyone have any suggestions of where I could send my other out-of-warranty phone for repair?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Fixed (I think)

My Aria has not rebooted for 12 hours! Problem was solved by inserting a new SIM card, which is baffling since the phone now does not reboot when I remove the SIM card. First I used a T-Mobile SIM -- I did not want to somehow contaminate my new AT&T SIM. I left the T-Mobile SIM in over night and no reboots. I then felt confident in using my AT&T SIM, still no rebooting.

Somehow the last SIM card inserted effects the way the phone works even when the SIM is subsequently removed.

Interesting that a SIM card could impact the way the phone works even after it is removed. Any thoughts?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
I'm baffled, I have given up hope on fixing my phone as I have a preorder in for the S3 but very good job finding out what appears to be the root of the problem. Keep us updated if it still goes strong without a reboot.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Have you tried another SIM card? If you go to an AT&T shop and explain the problem they will give you a new SIM and set it up at no charge. It would be a good test of if the SIM is in fact the problem.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Reboot and SIM card

I have now tested this for 2 days. All random rebooting has completely stopped with the new SIM card. My initial observation that it also stopped rebooting with the SIM card removed was wrong -- I still get random rebooting when I use the phones without a SIM. Both of my Aria behave exactly the same way, rooted or not; and, CM7, CM9 and stock ROMs.

My conclusion, the rebooting was somehow related to the SIM card. I still have absolutely no idea why both phones still randomly reboot without SIM cards. And one of the phones had been "repaired" by HTC who claim they installed a new mother board. I believe them because the phone I sent in for repair was SIM unlocked and the one I got back is SIM locked.

I was told that too, about the SD card. I finally just sent the phone off to HTC and they repaired it and sent it back and since then no unwanted reboots. They didn't tell me what the problem was though. Oh well, at least it works.

for now, guess, only the way to get working device
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
I'm curious to see if this is a software problem... has anyone managed to get a logcat when it reboots?

There is one library for the radio that hasn't changed (libhtc_ril.so). Stock 2.2, CM7, and CM9 all have the same one.

The marvel ("Wildfire S") has official Gingerbread, and might have a newer version of it.. (can't check right now)

I might try taking my SIM out for awhile and see if it happens..

Edit: Yep, it does
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Reboot & Sim card

Thanks for testing this. You are the first to confirm my observation about the random reboot problem and the SIM. For some reason my experience appeared to be related to my original ATT SIM. I also have an Atrix 4G and it rebooted with the ATT SIM I was using in the ARIA. I took it to ATT and got a new SIM and the Atrix stopped rebooting. The same for my ARIA. I have also tried a T-Mobile, a European SIM I had from traveling and an un-activated ATT SIM, and the ARIA does not reboot with these SIMs installed. But it does when running without a SIM.

This is not really a problem as long as you keep any SIM in the phone.But it is a curious problem.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clowndro:
Aria Random Reboots & SIM card

I "decommissioned" my Aria awhile ago and decided recently to use it strictly as an Android media playing device. I figured it would be fine to just use WiFi and not have a SIM card in the phone. But I experienced the rebooting issue as well, and tested at least three different ROMS. The phone was rooted using Revolutionary and has a 32GB SD card. After failing to find a ROM that worked, I ended up finally going to an AT&T store to get an unprogrammed SIM just to have one physically in the phone.

Putting in the SIM fixed the rebooting issue.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
Well, tried it (libhtc_ril from marvel), didn't help :-\
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scyzor:
This is interesting because I have sold on eBay fully functional Aria to a person from SE Pennsylvania which claims that the phone reboots on its own. My wife never had any issue with that Aria almost 2 years
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Tell him to get a new sim card from at&t. My experience is that this will stop the reboot problem, but THE PHONE WILL STILL REBOOT WITHOUT A SIM CARD INSTALLED.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scyzor:
Thanks, I will provide that suggestion. Also it is strange that it will reboot without a SIM card installed :cool:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
I agree. It is strange that the reboot thing only happens without a sim card. But those with a lot more knowledge than me - such as developer WinSuk - have noticed the same phenomena. It apparently is related to an earlier AT&T sim card.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scyzor:
OK - that person got replaced SIM card to a newer one and no random reboot so far :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yar2:
Great. Thanks for the feed back. I am curious though about what the issue could be, especially the rebooting without a sim card.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcactus:
so just found this thread as i was experiencing the random reboot. I had turned on my phone with no sim just to do the reset before selling it. I no longer have service with att.

so if i have an OLD att sim/non working- will that stop the reboot?

I'll assume if I sell this and someone puts a working att sim it would work fine?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The SIM doesn't have to be active (i.e., you don't have to be paying for service), but the SIM card needs to be relatively new -- probably needs to be one of the ones that supports LTE is my guess (even though the phone doesn't support LTE).

And yeah, the reboots will go away if whoever you sell it to puts a recent SIM in the phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Needs to support 3g. My last sim was a 3g in my aria. Never got a reboot. They gave me a 4g lte card with my new phone
