[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TheTen:
Funny, I was just reading this thread and thinking 'I haven't had a random reboot in 3 or 4 days... And my Note just rebooted while sat next to me.

The operative word on this experiment is 'random'... I've tried it every which way... With App2SD and without... With JuiceDefender and without... From full wipe stock and with full apps installed... It never happens using an app. Never happens while charging. Only ever on battery...

And I'm now convinced that it is an issue of either battery alone, or the interactions between our ever-so-smart batteries and our phones... And here's why.

I also am frustrated that we have no persistent logging available on our phones whereby we might 'see' a trigger as the event happens and be able to identify it after the fact...

But we DO have a hint. Our battery usage meters persist between charging sessions, and do not erase themselves automatically at reboot.

So, as I've noted already on the thread I started on this subject, I've noticed some interesting phenomenon relating to the battery and the random reboots...

First, I've noticed on several occasions that immediately prior to a reboot the phone experienced a short period of INCReASE in battery capacity (an uphill line) before the reboot occurs. This is without being plugged in to ANYTHING. A phone in the middle of a room with no cables plugged in cannot just charge itself... It has to be an error in the number reporting between phone, oS and battery pack, right?

Almost every time I get the random reboot the battery meter shows the moment of the reboot (give it 5 minutes after the reboot to make it more visible on the chart) by showing a sheer drop in capacity from as little as 5% to as much as 15% in a couple of instances, literally in the space of the reboot.

Now, I don't know how tomtake and upload screencaps, but I'll describe my battery history in relation to the reboot I just had...

It shows me that I unplugged the phone 5.5 hours ago at 100% charge. It is actually missing 2 hours.

It shows me that I had a steady decline of about 10% over the next 4 hours of the meter. This is reasonable, I was texting a bit and playing with the phone a lot during this time.

But then it shows, about 4 hours into its metering, that the discharge stops... And flatlines... It MIGHT even show a slight increase in capacity over the next hour, like 1% but without graph lines onnthe chart I can't be sure...

Then Wham!

The restart.

And the battery meter falls down a cliff at the point of restart and after a minute booting (represented by a hairline break in the battery chart) it comes back having 'lost' about 5-6% and resumes its metering at the bottom of this 6% cliff face on the chart.

I speculate there's some fault in the battery system and the reboots represent thensystem recalibrating itself or catching up with itself in some way...

I already have a returns auTh for my less than 1 month Note, and will send it back for a new one...

See if I get the same on the new one.

Interesting stuff, so it could be the battery that's the problem, others suspect that it is the wifi. Personally i haven't observed the increase in battery when on DC so im not sure if i have this problem. I was using my Note heavily whilst on Gingerbread for about 2 weeks and didn't experience any reboots. When i upgraded ota to LQ2 i then started to observe random reboots. My battery holds a good charge and never decreases. I do experience flat-lines on my battery but this is caused by Juicedefender efficiently using the AOSP to disable wifi, 3g etc when not in use.

In your case i would guess the reboots are most likely caused by a faulty battery as your Note should not be gaining charge whilst discharging on battery. That being said I have read that Android devices always correct themselves to the path of true reading so it may be that the device was in deep sleep and not checking the battery level and the restart forced the device to check the battery6 level and correct it hence the spike. Im not sure though tbh this is all speculation. In my case i do not believe the battery is faulty as i have only experienced random reboots since upgrading to LQ2 ICS. I was stable before on Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dbreloaded:
Had another problem during the night. I turned the phone off after playing some games and it had like 80% battery left. Went to sleep woke up this morning to find that my Note would not turn on and was hot to the touch on the back of the phone.

The power button was not working. I did the age old battery pull waited a few mins and put battery back in and the phone booted but with only 10% battery. For some reason 70% of my battery capacity was exhausted during the night and caused my phone to not wake up from sleep.

Anyone else experienced a similar problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maximo12345:
all is ok
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Yup, had reboots after ICS upgrade. Under GB it was very stable and reliable. Samsung would not re-grade me to GB so I sent the phones back for a refund. Why should I root and flash GB, thus voiding my warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dbreloaded:
Man i love this phone way too much. I cant begin to describe the panic i feel that it is not working correctly. However i think i have seen a correlation between apps being installed on the sd card and the reboots/crashes. I found that i had installed an app that had defaulted to the usb memory rather than internal. We all know that Android sucks at handling apps on the sd card. I bet that it has something to do with an app that stays cached that is on the sd card.

I had a really nasty crash last night, screen of death 70% battery drain, very hot and needed a battery out as 30second press was not restarting phone. I had been stable for a few days with no reboots. Last night i installed an app that installed to the sd card and i played it before i went to bed. I think this app was either still running or cached. I think that this may have been the cause of the crash.

Also my data had gone over my 500mb limit so i had disabled data. I re enabled data and switched to 3g on the 16th as my data had renewed for the month. I also use Juice Defender to control 3g and wifi. This makes the phone normally last for more than a week on standby before needing a charge. Maybe the 3g/2g switching in Juice Defender is bugged?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukeinchina:
I get random reboots maybe once or twice a week. Nothing bothersome, IMO.

The reboots seem to be much less frequent than they were when I had GB installed - but those reboots seemed to me to be Wifi related, as my router at home is a little flaky.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dbreloaded:
This seems to be a common issue for Android devices. If you are experiencing this please see the link to the Android issue that has been opened.

Issue 25563:	OS keeps rebooting when lots of apps are moved to SDcard! HUGE BUG IN ANDROID OS 2.3.5 (and higher)!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
If you can't figure that out then how about removing the poll and staring over...

BTW, I never experience reboots in ICS...running RRV6 ICS now and was running stock rooted ICS LQ2 and also never experienced reboots either...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kevin_fcc:
Not on lcs so far, seen on GB before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Medulla:
I saw the same correlation with reboots and apps installed or moved to SD; it got to the stage that, after installing a new app or updating an existing one, if I manually chose to move it to SD the phone would reboot about 75% of the time. Often I would randomly hear the phone rebooting from the next room (i.e. playing the old start up tone) because it had auto-updated something and fallen over in the process of the install.

However, my experience was with my Note running Gingerbread and since upgrading to ICS I've only had this happen once so while the upgrade has seemingly caused this issue for you it's actually fixed it for me. Which I realise doesn't help you narrow down the causes at all. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
Yesterday my wifi on one of my phones would not turn on. This happened no matter what rom or baseband it was on. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Davidl9389:
I also have a similar problem, I rooted my phone yesterday using "unlock root" and it successfully rooted but when I turn on my WiFi it would only work for about a minute. The WiFi indicator still suggests it's on and I can see the reception bars get lower and higher as I move further away from my router but any site or app I use will say I do not have an internet connection. Help would be appreciated, thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DaBigums:
Two weeks ago I had an ICS rom installed and was tired of the poor battery life, so I tried to unroot my phone and bring it back to stock to start over later. I got the stock 2.3.3 installed and decided not to unroot and just use the rom.

I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14159600#post14159600

But I didn't actually use SOC to unroot, because I wasn't sending my phone back to TMobile.

Today I was looking to see if there were any ICS roms that I might like to try out and found HFS. I downloaded it and tried to boot into CWM (Power + Vol down), and instead of going into CWM, it did the little android install splash screen, and just wiped my phone. So I installed RomManager and tried to install the rom through that. It rebooted, and did the same thing. So I "fake flashed" CWM through RomManager, and it booted into CWM finally. I thought I was in the clear, so I factory reset, wiped everything, and installed the HFS rom. It ran all the way trhough and installed successfully, until I rebooted. Now it's stuck on the white LG logo. I can't boot into CWM! It just goes to the android update splash and restarts.

To make things so much worse, I can't even boot into S/W update! I remove the battery and hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB. It does nothing. No lights, no driver installation prompt on my computer. Nothing...

What can I do at this point?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
You need to re-install CWM, when you went back to stock it probably reverted your recovery to stock as well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DaBigums:
Alright, I can get into s/w update by holding only the down arrow... But now I can't get NVFlash to acknowledge that my phone is plugged in. I've installed the LG drivers, ADB drivers and the LG Modem drivers. It doesn't ask for the APX drivers, although I've installed them in the past...

What do?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] idbl_fanatic:
Just making sure, you are removing the battery, holding down the VOL up/down while you are plugging it in W/O the battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DaBigums:
Yes I am. But it doesn't work if I push both, then plug it in. I only push the bottom and it boots into S/W
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
FYI, never, and I mean, NEVER use ROM Manager to flash CWM Recovery. That's like asking for a brick. :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Re-read his question. In order to get into apx mode you must remove the battery, keep it out, and, while holding the volume up AND down buttons, plug in the phone. If you already have the drivers installed itbwill not prompt for them. Just. Flash cwm with nvflash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DaBigums:
My apologies for any misunderstanding as my answer was really short. But what I meant to say was, when I remove the battery and push both volume buttons down, then plug it in, I wait for 3 minutes and it still does nothing. But if I remove the battery, hold only the volume down button, it will boot into S/W. But when I use this method, it doesn't show up in the device manager as anything. I only get the sound of connecting a USB device, other than that, it's just not recognized by my PC. I've tried to run NVFlash anyway, and it says USB not connected. I'm at a complete loss...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
Well I actually had a problem like this ( the not found usb part ) ehen I "bricked" my phone and what I did was I kept trying this for about 5 minutes and it worked. So my advice ie to check if you have the USB driver installed then keep trying to NVFlash.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulbkd:
Hi everyone,

Pardon me if I'm asking in the wrong place, this is my first thread.

I just bought Samsung Galaxy Young CDMA SCH i509 and successfully rooted it. I'm looking everywhere for any custom recovery like CWM or RZ to Nandroid backup my phone so I can safely start tinkering with it. Although lately I found a CWM custom recovery that is said to be compatible with my device, but when I tried to Nandroid backup it made some installed applications disappear. And when I roll back backed up image to verify the result, it made my phone boot in infinite loop.

My question is:

since I can't find any working recovery for my device, is it possible to just unpack another Samsung Galaxy recovery.img and edit some files in there or do I have to compile it from scratch? Because I'm tempted to just edit it but I don't know its partition layout and anything
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Accecier:
I suppose maybe you should focus on the bootloop first? :p I don't know an answer though. Sorry.

Did I helped you? Click the THANKS button! My Galaxy Mini would like it, just like I do! :)
[HTC Sensation] honswolo:
So i am about to try and replace the glass on my extra Sensation and I wanted to see if anyone had a hard time doing this. I was able to find the replacement glass on Amazon for 26 buck shipped!! :)

If anyone could maybe chime in and lend any hand, that would be great...
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Its not too hard, although I've had issues with replacement digitizers, seems like every one in three will have a portion of it unusable for some reason.
[HTC Sensation] honswolo:
I came across this-- Apparently if you update to software version 1.50.401.1. kernel version 2.6.35.13-g1e13373 (Sep 5 2011) this digitizer should work, but that update is not available OTA in the U.S. yet. So make sure you get the exact same model number if you plan on replacing your glass.

and this-- I've got the T-mobile version of the HTC Sensation. Everything worked fine after I installed this new digitizer, but it had a slight lag after unlocking the phone. It progressively got worse, until it started lagging for ~20 seconds and I could barely manage to answer a call. I did some research and apparently there are several different models of the Sensation digitizer, and most of them have issues with the Tmobile phones.

The digitizer I received was model number:

PYD V1.0

E219454<>1

ruICACichia

94V-0 1112

Whereas, my factory Tmobile model number was:

PYD V1.0

SW-10 94V-0

E308252 1115

do you have any input on this?

sorry for all of the questions but i want to make sure this is done right and working great.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Best bet is to match those model numbers.
[HTC Sensation] vgrntbeauxner:
I did it on mine and it was easy. Just make sure you've got a suuuuper tiny phillips screwdriver and a T5. Also get a roll of 2mm wide 3M double sided tape to seal the digitizer. I didn't and I have a million dust bunnies in there now :/

BTW, I have a z710a and I just bought a random digitizer off Amazon. No compatibility issues for me.
[HTC Sensation] ICSFan:
Same here.

Changed Digitizer and LCD Screen in one Action.

I´m not a Clockmaker but no Problems so far.

I´m owner of a Sensation XE but i don´t like the red Touch Buttuns.

So I bougt the Parts of a normal Sensa with the grey Touch Buttons.

Also here no compatibility Problems.

[HTC Sensation] kampj007:
If you are looking for a digitizer i have one. Its not easy but when i bought it i tore one of the small strips that go to the screen on the mainboard and then it was shot. So i had to make an insurance claim. PM Me
[HTC Sensation] Painkille5:
Hi,

I came across this topic via search.

I got HTC sensation, and my glass is broken.

I saw some issues about replacing it. people told me that there are some kinds of glasses, with different thickness levels. which sould i buy?

I saw people saying that if you change only the glass, you may have problems and you need to replace the whole digitizer. Is it right? should I replace the whole digitizer with the glass?

There are different types of digitizers, as the quote above describing. how can I know which digitizer to buy? and how can I Match those model numbers?

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] Painkille5:
hey, can any 1 answer my question please?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lauski:
In CyanogenMod, I was a fan of the setting that allowed me to "prevent phone's auto brightness from going down".

I like auto brightness and appreciate its ability to save battery life when indoors vs. enabling me to see the phone if I go outside in a high light situation.

However, under florescent lights, or in a room with a definitive light source (single lamp in dark room)... the phone's sensor keeps jumping it between light levels where the screen brightness goes up and down.... up and down... It's a bit dizzying and makes the phone somewhat uncomfortable to use.

Anyone find an app or workaround to automatically achieve what I want... other than... disabling auto brightness when it starts, setting an appropriate brightness level, and then, trying to remember to re-enable later when I'm outside (and of course, have a hard time then seeing the phone :) )

I installed InsertCoin Evolution v2.0 Custom Rom For HTC Sensation.

Everything works fine as now, The ROM is great..... :)

But I found one thing, is it a bug or what, i don't know...

Even though I am synchronized through Facebook, Contact pictures are not showing in messages.

When I restarts the Shell, the pictures starts coming but after some time, say 7 to 8 hr, again pictures of contacts goes blank whereas in contacts list, pictures are very much there.

I had restarts the phone several times, not only hot reboot which restarts shell only but did a full reboot. Even though the problem persists...

Any way to solve this....????
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
Ive had this problem before...

have you deleted the HTC Twitter apk? Ive found that once I delete that, my pictures wont show up in the contacts or messages, even tho I dont even use Twitter. if you have, just reflash the rom or restore the app if you can

if you havent deleted the apk, you can try clearing the data and cache for the Facebook app and uninstalling it/removing your account. then you can install it again and it should work fine
[HTC Sensation] hemendrachauhan:
yaah i had deleted the HTC Twittere apk....

i don't use twitter that's why i did that, sad to hear that i have to install twitter for that, twitter is like a bloatware to me.... but i'll give a try to this solution

Rest hope for the best..
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
did you fix your problem? sorry its been a couple of days
[HTC Sensation] Seanie280672:
I had this same problem myself, the problem was nothing to do with Twitter, the problem is with facebook and syncing fb contacts with phone book contacts, there becomes a conflict between users profile pictures on fb, and the pictures u have stored for those same contacts on your google account, anyway to fix this, first open facebook, press menu, settings, scroll to the bottom where the sync options are and change to don't sync, it will clear user data for u, next exit facebook, what I did after this, was via rcmix settings I cleared the dalvik cache and cache, then rebooted the phone, once your back up and running, u can either go through each contact at a time and edit them assigning a new picture to them or remove your google account and re add it, next u can set facebook back up, this time though select don't sync, when your finished goto your system settings, accounts and sync, facebook and just tick calender events and live feed, leave the contacts unchecked, that's it, should be done, the only thing u loose is in your phone book contacts their facebook status will no longer appear.

Hey,

how did you fix the problem? I have the same exact problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] MuteIAndroid:
could you plz tell me how you fixed it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Smurf81:
try to reboot.

If it's not working and you need sdcard, you could take off the sdcard ( it's possible because it's not under battery ) and return it. Normally you could mount sdcard.

It works for me.

My R800X is trashed.

If anyone needs parts, I'm selling the whole thing to afford a new phone.

Here is the auction up on Ebay if anyones interested.

This is mainly why I haven't been developing for R800X anymore.

Phone wont even take a USB connection.

Good luck whoever wins. I started it at 99 cents.

It's actually charging up now.

I don't know whats going on with it.

Maybe the battery stats are messing up because the LCD has half the pixels stuck on RGB from the cracks running through it.

I posted in another thread about a problem with ICS concerning "Touch Key Light Duration", but feel it needs it's own thread.

My problem is "Touch Key Light Duration". Seems to be a problem with the little bit I googled. I can set it the duration to "Always On, but it has a mind of it's own. Somethings will turn off the light; I have to go back into the settings to reset the light.

I've played with all of the power setting, power saving, display settings I can find, but cannot find a way to keep the lights on the way I want. I've done Factory Reset, I've changed the duration, changed power settings,etc to no avail.
