Is it a stock battery? I would take it to sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinvam:
Did you figure out what was wrong with your phone?

My international GSII is doing the exact same thing. Screen and lights flicker then the phone shuts off. After a restart the battery is at 0 or 1% and shuts off immediately. Sometimes after a reboot it will have the correct amount of battery and work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Check your battery compartment is clean and the contacts are ok and clean on both the battery and the phone. Also make sure the battery cover is keeping the battery snug. Maybe put a piece of a business card above the battery to make certain it is not able to jostle during use.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
You may try odining EL29 full build with regular Odin and checking clear phone efs. This clears the video cache on the phone and may help solve the issue. I do this myself every so often as a preventative measure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinvam:
Contacts are clean and battery is snug. I bought a replacement battery and have been using it for the past 30 min or so - so far so good.

If my new battery doesn't fix it I'll Odin the Rom and Kernel to something safe later tonight. Thanks for the EFS tip! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinvam:
Just a quick update for anyone that might run into this problem later. I bought a new Anker 1750 mah battery and not only is my battery life back to normal (maybe even better), but no random power offs! Looks like my original Samsung battery took a crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I'd take the battery back to a Sprint store. They are designed to last at least one year so they might test it and give you a new one. The factory replacement batteries are expensive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
$17 on Amazon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] namakemono1776:
If it is under a year old they will give you a new battery. It's great having a second battery anyway. My phone was doing the same thing and it was also the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lunchboxVA:
hey everybody thanks for all the replies sorry it took so long to update...and i really wished i had read the battery comments becuz it woulda saved me the huge ordeal i went through

pretty much what happened is I called sprint they sent me a phone in the mail becuz ilive outside the 50mi radius from a service center....the phone they sent me did the same thing so i called back and they sent me another phone....the phone they sent me did the same thing so i called back and got a new phone...the phone they sent me started doing the same hting....so i called again and i asked if it could b the battery the tech was a real **** and was like its not ur battery becuz its holding a charge and it powers the phone on so they sent me a new phone....the phone they sent did the same thing and before they would send me a new phone they made me drive the 50mi in to get my phone looked at the guy checked my phone for 5min and told me i needed a new phone....so i called sprint again and my options were to get **** phones or get a white e4gt...i rrrreeeaaalllyyy didnt want a white one but it was my only choice so they sent me the phone in white and with a new battery and so far so good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shincrono:
So it's definitely a battery issue? cause my phone just started doing the same thing about a week ago. (very Annoying)

I thought maybe it was the rom, but I have installed 3 different roms and they all do the same thing.

Ordering a new battery now, Thanks for the info. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lunchboxVA:
Glad to see this old post helped someone else it was defiantly the battery no problems since...make sure you hit the thanks button if the post fixed your problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
When I receive a text from someone and I check the notification that is on my productivity lock screen, it shows their phone number instead of name. Is there a way to have it display the name of the person calling?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2LoWw7:
I think it's a bug. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've had this happen to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vdubtx:
Agreed about it being a bug. On 3d it does Dave thing with ics ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Danielk0582:
Do you have the numbers saved in your contacts? Mine shows the names when someone texts me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmcjam07:
I found that when the numbers are saved in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx, it will display the numbers when you receive a text as opposed to the name. Try changing it to just xxxxxxxxxx and see if that helps. Worked for me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hippolicker:
While using the phone in a spot with poor wifi reception, I've noticed the wifi icon completely goes away sometimes. It will then pop back on shortly thereafter. Is this normal behavior when it thinks the wifi signal is completely gone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Made2Last:
I just picked one up yesterday and have been having issues. In my bedroom it will read 2 bars, drop to one, then shut off. Comes back on within seconds. This phone seems to have WiFi issues for a lot of users.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Made2Last:
In the same room as my gateway full signal it stays connected no issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Cryosx:
Same problem here, but it also happens when it says i have full bars. I need to enable best wifi performance to fix it. My gsii never had this problem...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
This is exactly how mine behaves too. I'm in the room with my router so I normally have full bars (and should) but every once in a while the signal goes away and comes right back 2 seconds later. I've tested it with 2 routers, a linksys running dd-wrt and a d-link one, both have the same results.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 00_MACKIE_00:
ditto here but it reconnects fast, it doesn't disrupt me...im sure it will be fixed eventually!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Made2Last:
International One X has issues too. The newest update 1.85 was supposed to fix some WiFi issues along with other bug fixes, and it doesn't seem to have helped us. Let's not assume they even know what the problem is at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hardware-fault-found-in-the-htc-one-x-causes-bad-signal/

^For anyone with wifi issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I don't think what I am experiencing is a hardware issue at all. Im not even moving the phone when this happens, and my phone passes the squeeze test. I'm confident this means it has to be software related.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shorty6049:
This is kind of an old/dead thread by now, but I just wanted to share my experience with wifi on the One X.

I'm also having problems, but I'm currently running a nightly (though very stable) build of CM10 on my One X and still have wifi issues. This COULD be hardware related, in that it's just crappy hardware (though it could also be software related if CM10 is built using wifi "code" (not really sure what the correct term for the wifi stuff in the software is ) from the stock software)

I'm sitting at work right now, for example, and every once in a while the wifi will disconnect. When connected it shows 2-3 wifi bars, when it's NOT connected, my wifi network shows up as "not in range" .

same type of thing has happened at my house. I thought my phone was defective so I traded it in for a replacement at best buy. Same issue. Such a shame becuase I really like everything else about this phone and wifi was never an issue on my last HTC device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
kernel changes affect wifi. some of the cm10 builds have known wifi issues.

i would never think of returning a phone because of an experience with a custom rom, since the phone wasn't built to run that rom.

always revert to full stock and see if you still have the issue. also updated ota/ruu are made to fix issues also. at&t rom doesn't have many stock wifi issues, but you can always run into issues with wifi access point incompatibilities.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taufiiqqq:
well i updated to official ics...everything was fine unless the play store started to download background data at full speed. today in 1 hour it downloaded around 150mb data but i dont know what is all about...what i am facing is i cant browse internet or cant download anything as play store is eating up all the data! anyone faced this issue? i cant undrstand what this background data is all about :S as i dont see any app being updated or downloaded! any help?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
u go to settings/data usage/hit menu button. & check on RESTRICT BACKGROUND DATA.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taufiiqqq:
i am using wifi and i cant restric background data here...and sadly cant get to download any app as play store is using full bandwith to download 'i dont know what' data
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
Maybe any app is downloading from play store in the background!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auni:
Well the background data is something that helps few apps to keep synced with Data traffic. Apps like Gmail, Facebook etc. can connect to internet and execute auto sync when BG data is enabled.

The market sometimes download relevant apps updates to your device automatically, if the "Update Automatically" option is turned on market settings. So check that, because after a fresh OC [ICS] update, it is normal that the device will look for the updated version of the all the apps.

Again sometimes Gmail tries to download many emails in the background, depends on whether the auto-sync is enabled and how many days you want to sync.

And lastly as others already said that, may be some other third party app is downloading data.

Scenarios can be many. So have a closer look in the running services.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtmf:
That is. Thank you
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimoTechSid:

this worked but the download was from the appcalled googl.media so I believe the content might be important. I'll download that later when I'm on wifi

Anybody gonna ditch their A2 and jump on this when it comes out next month?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
It does look pretty sweet! Although I am still trying to get my brain wrapped around getting started into dev'ing and hacking for the A2, I think I'll stick with this phone. I am torn though, thinking about getting the SGS3 when it comes out, but will still keep the A2.

Question: If the A3 comes with the bootloader locked, and we find a way to get the A2's bootloader unlocked, will it be easier (or theoretically) the same way to go about unlocking the A3's -assuming it comes locked?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Not sure if I'd describe it as "pretty sweet" but I guess it kinda looks updated. I really despise how the on-screen capacitive buttons, launcher dock and first row of apps take up roughly half of the on screen real estate, that's ridiculous. IMO, there's soooo much bezel at the bottom of the device why not put capacitive buttons down there and make use of all that space instead of just slapping a huge AT&T logo down there?

Lastly, if the bootloader is still locked then I imagine the modding community will embrace it after seeing the headache the A2 has caused. I mean, the A2 bootloader still isn't unlocked and here comes the A3 with a locked bootloader? I hope i'm wrong but ICS presents a whole other set of challenges to overcome and the minimal dev support for the A2 surely doesn't inspire confidence that the A3 will be any different. But the LTE, ICS, HD display...pretty cool upgrades I'd say.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
So, what's the consensus... everyone leaning toward the SGS3?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I AM getting the SGS III on the 18th. I pre-ordered mine on the 6th... I am hoping to have it in hand late on the 16th or 17th (my local store is great about doing that for me).

The A3 will be the same locked down crap that we have now, and the development of this phone is just so hard to do. Look, I have been working just about every night for at least 1 hour, if not a whole lot more some nights, since ~Oct. 20th to break this bootloader. I have been working on getting a FULL version of CM7 running since Jan/Feb. with little success, due to the craptastic stuff MOTO/AT&T have done to this phone.

I have a XOOM and I LOVE that thing, it was unlocked from day one, there was a command that you run with fastboot to unlock the bootloader. I was hoping that this phone would be more like the XOOM, and we would eventually find an unlocked bootloader, but I am pretty sure that is not happening now.

I was hoping that Google would have smacked MOTO and these cell carriers around a little more, and MADE them (Moto) unlock the bootloader more like the Galaxies have, in that if you do you lose support.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
This WILL be my last MOTO device. The A3 looks very promising but is still behind the ONE X and SIII and if what I have been reading is correct MOTO is back to their old ways again.The newest OS updates for the OG Atrix and Photon are supposedly locking the bootloaders back down on those devices!!!

A big no no MOTO !!!

My update isnt until this winter but I can promise it will be on a device that isnt no where as restricted as what we have right now
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
So, if someone, for example: jimbridgman, could get the bootloader unlocked, would that entice the devs to be more inclined to (at the least) keep the A2 and work development for it?

This has been my fist Motorubbish phone, and was doing just fine with it prior to having gotten the bug to root, and get my n00by white butt into doing everything I can to learn up on how to dev for this phone... but now that I'm all goofy about development and such, I am inclined to keep it and try to help out in that regard.

But, on the opposite side of that coin, I am really considering getting myself a SGS3 and see where that take me. Admittedly, I am so intrigued with dev'ing and hacking and so forth that it's pretty well consumed my free time. Albeit, I am no where near getting started on anything; however, I can't help but to geek out just on the stuff I've seen you guys (devs) have been able to do.

I think I veered off topic, but nonetheless I like the A2, despite its limitations that Moto pushed upon us. However, I will NOT be getting my hands on the A3 when it comes out. Just doesn't seem worth it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
For anyone who is thinking of jumping ship, you might want to sell your Atrix2 before the A3 comes out, otherwise your A2 will be worthless on the used market. Right now you get 250-300 for the A2 on Ebay or craigslist. And if you put the 200 you would spend on the SGS III upgrade, you could get an SGS III, from someone selling a new un-activated SGS III. I have Friends who buy an Iphone at every upgrade that the Iphone gets, and then sells them on the open market at 3 times the upgrade price, then gets a new andriod phone with the profit, and they don't use another upgrade.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Do you have to pay at&T extra money for upgrading or changing your device before 2 years, or something like that? We had the phone less than a year, could I just go and buy another phone from AT&T just like that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
That's what i'm going with

Agreed. While you and a few others have worked hard to get us what we have for the A2, the development really never developed, hehe, pun intended. We all waited with baited breath for the bootloader to be unlocked, hoping it would spur the dev we all hoped for but it seems to be highly unlikely. I def appreciate the devs efforts though, you've made this phone decently enjoyable.

I'd imagine for a little while, but not many devs have this phone so the boost would be short lived, IMO. Too many phones out now that blow this out of the water, and more coming. I think the Atrix 2's opportunity to garner development success has come and gone :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
You'd have to buy the phone at full price, or add a line to your account to get it for the discounted price.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
So people here will buy the SGS3 for like $600??
[Motorola Atrix 2] Darkvlaad:
Oh it's look like pretty cool. I will sale m'y Atrix 4g if I Can buy it!

Envoyé depuis mon MB860 avec Tapatalk
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
People do....that price is actually for the US version, people are buying the International version for $700+
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yep, if you don't have an upgrade that is your ONLY option, that or like what 916x10 mentioned, about adding a line to your account to get it for 199.

I happen to get an upgrade just about every 6 months, since I have been with AT&T since '99, and I have ALWAYS had upgrade ability in the 6-12 month timeframe, even with a 2 year contract.... similar to the iphones "early upgrade" that you hear about.... I have no clue how, but that is just what I have had for going on 13 years now.

Remember you CAN sell the A2 for a decent price right now, even used they can go for 250-300 since they are a "4g" phone, but that will not last long, if the A3 comes out next month... just think about it... the A2 used price will drop to 99 most likely.

People pay these higher prices because they don't like their phone, or want the latest and greatest, and either don't want to use an upgrade, or don't have one.

Anyone can do this, and AT&T will not charge you anything, since all you have to do is put your SIM in the new phone, and that is pretty much it. Now with an LTE phone, you may have to go to a store and update your plan, but even still the worst they will charge you is a 25 dollar "upgrade" cost.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Oh... I see. I used my upgrade for this Atrix 2, that I got for free too. That's very cool that you can get upgrades every 6 months. I wonder if there is any way for other people to do the same. I would like to see a newer cell phone, but with this economy I cannot see myself spending that amount of money. Oh well... :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Off topic but about bootloaders..

before this phone i had an xperia x10 and development went well.the bootloader wasnt unlocked untill the very end when i had that phone.

My question is..how is it we were running custom kernels ,roms like cm7 with its own kernel ..without an unlocked bootloader at that time?

I remember outta nowhere the bootloader was cracked and nothing major came from it.at that time i didnt even know what the purpose was as we were already flashing custom kernels and roms that use them. All that changed was no more bootloader logo lol.

Now today i know alittle bit more and i think back and wonder why it was we didnt require an unlocked bootloader to run custom kernels ... o.O

Jim.maybe you know?..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Yep. I too had an X10, the dev on that thing was ridiculous! I never unlocked the bootloader but did all the other mods I could. I didn't understand all the fuss about the bootloader when I first got my A2 but apparently Motorola does things a little differently. IIRC, some of the x10 guys helped get our dev off the ground with their help on our recovery.

Those guys have some pretty cool ICS roms now...I was running Wolfbreak and man it was nice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] z652366:
i like A2 better~!

i like A2 better~!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Sweet jumpin' Jeebus! The SGS3 is hitting benchmark scores of at/around 13000? Can that be right?

That. Is. Ree-diculous-ness! I really want one. Errgh...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That is because the kernel on the X10 was not signed with a cryptographic signature, and fully encrypted.

The Motorola phones have all the good stuff in their boot image, things like radio, kernel, actual init processes, etc. and since it has a cryptographic signature, it is nearly unbreakable.

I am guessing that the X10 only had part of that in their boot image, so getting around it was easier. That is why right now we HAVE to load Moto's kernel on boot, and then once up on the "stock" kernel, then boot our own with kexec.

The second problem we have is that the source which was released, was for the ME856, it is incomplete for the MB865. So even if we could create whole new trees in the kernel source for the MB865, then there is no way I can sign it with the same signature Moto does. I am guessing it is a key from RSA, you know similar to the encryption software used for VPN software that companies use to allow you access from outside the office.... Same encryption is used here.

The only way they got around the RAZR bootloader, is because the devs over there bought a developer edition of that phone, and made a flashable zip, that "emulated" the dev fuse as blown, this unlocked the bootloader for them.

Oh, P.S. This is a good read on the subject of moto and locked bootloaders, I know, it is about Verizon in particular, but the same still applies in the explanation about the locked bootloader.

http://www.extremetech.com/computin...tloader-and-why-does-verizon-want-them-locked
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
That article has some good info on the bootloader situation. It answers my questions i have had about the moto and their bootloaders. Hopefully Google will do something about it though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nothing will change with Moto even though the Google deal is now complete.

Google said back in Nov. that they HAVE to leave Moto alone, since they really wanted the patents to protect Android. Also since they make an Opensource handheld OS, they can't show favoritism with their own hardware, or the FCC will shut the the Moto division down, as that would be an FCC monopoly for android and google.

They, google, must tread very lightly here.

Here is an article that talks about the patents and other things that Google bought Moto for, and most likely what they will sell off. Things with the hardware part of Moto have to stay similar to what they are, if the carriers still want to use them. I am guessing at best they may pull an HTC and allow a developer unlock, and give NO support. That MIGHT happen, but I am guessing that Google is not in this for the hardware, just the patents to protect Android. I am betting that in 3-5 years there will be no Moto/Google phones any more.

http://marketingland.com/googles-acquisition-of-motorola-mobility-closes-what-now-12653
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
I have read that article before but it must of slipped my mind. If moto starts sinking in sales because of the bootloader ordeal one would hope that they would pull an HTC with the bootloaders. I honestly don't think they are going to give in on this though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Damn MOTO... It really sucks that google can't do anything about the bootloader situation. I can almost guarantee that once the Galaxy SIII comes out Moto's sales will tank. I am really contemplating just ditching my A2 and buying a Galaxy Nexus for $399 or a used on from ebay...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just add a line to your account and get the SGS III... much cheaper... then cancel the data service before the first month is up, say you are using something similar to a grasshopper cellphone for your parents and don't need the data plan on the new line.... :D

I have a buddy that does that all the time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Lol I would do that, but I don't have that much control over my cell phone service... After all I'm only 17...

The only real chance I have is selling my A2 and buying phone at full price
