Yep, Yep. My wife has the same issue but I've never had a problem. I'm going to show her this thread so that at least she knows it's not just her. lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
How would the earrings affect it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
I think it's actually the proximity sensor being highly in tune to how close it needs to be to the ear/face. It takes very little movement of the phone during a call to trigger the sensor and turn the screen back on. They probably don't even realize they're moving the phone as much as they are.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
During a call, I pulled the phone away, moved it around, etc and watched for screen to come one. It did not come on easily. I don't get it.

I need to watch her during a call and test some things.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReFLeX135:
My sis has the same issues with the moment, and I tried it out and it was fine. She does seem to use it outside her hair and does have a lot of earrings. Though this is the Moment, it still runs android and has the sensors. I'll let her know and see if she'll enjoy her phone again lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Still not sure what the issue/solution even is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
She picked up my phone last night and accidentally hung up on the person during the call! I didn't get a chance to see what happened...

She's starting to hate these phones. I need a solution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Not a joke...but are these ladies blonds? At start of thread I was thinking hair color or earrings too. But earrings shouldn't impact the sensor as it is up top of phone and earrings would be down toward the screen.

But...if their hair was very light color...and they had phone only loosely pressed to head, I could 'guess' that the hair had enough light reflecting through it to set off the sensor.

Another thing to check on the earring side....what part of phone contacts first...do earrings hit the screen before head covers up the sensor?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
My wife had dark brown hair :x
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajerkdude:
My wife too. Dark brown hair. With and without earrings. Swapped out one device, same problem. She even made it happen on mine.

I have seen it get in a mode where the proximity sensor seems to get reversed. Near head, screen on, away from head screen off. A button gets pushed at some point and then when the screen is on you can't un-mute, un-speaker, or answer a returned call from the one she just hung up on.

I think we are going to have to get her a different phone :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I have the same issue but it only seems to come up with AOSP ROM's (Cyanogen & UD)

If I call Sprint and hit the prompts followed by putting the phone to my ear it presses other numbers. I think there is a delay in the proximity sensor that's causing this. I don't have long hair and my face is clean shaved so it's not that.

If I go to show someone that when everything works perfect. It's like when you call tech support for Dell, Netgear, etc. It works when you're on the phone with them and when you get off it doesn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
I've noticed this in the past. If you are talking on the phone and you cant it just a little bit away from your ear, towards your face, you can see the backlight come back on. Also, hair can carry a static charge. So if your ladies cant the phone and the screen turns on, their hair could trigger a button press.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpa:
my wife has the same issue. It is not her phone since I cannot reproduce the issue with her phone. She has long hair ( black ) and does wear earrings. It is not an AOSP ROM issue as someone else indicated , her phone is stock. It has become so annoying for her that she tends to use the speaker phone for every call. I need to watch her when she is on the phone, maybe it is the long hair messing up the proximity sensor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
My wife has the same problem with her intercept and it won't do it for me at all. My wife too has long dark hair I'm sure that this is a proximity sensor issue as she doesn't have this problem when she holds the phone with her shoulder and is pushing her ear and face against it while she is talking in the phone and cross stitching. Another thing I noticed guys press the phone to their ears and head ladies hold it loosely against their ear

Has anyone seen the limpack score board? Scroll to htc legens and you will see someone by the name of htc register a score of 16. The rom information is just with eclair with a 711mhz processor.

Did anyone of you here do it? If so how?
[Droid Eris General] joshw0000:
If you're anything like me, you want to keep your internal memory as low as possible while filling your phone up with apps. I typically move every app that I can to the sd card to keep the internal memory usage to the bare minimum. The "Failed to move application. System updates cannot be installed on external media" error was really bugging me so I started playing around with Root Explorer.

How to move any app to the sd card

Open Root Explorer

Click "Mount R/W"

Click "system"

Click "app"

Long press the app you choose to move

In options, scroll down to "Move"

Click the back arrow softkey twice

Click "sdcard"

Click "Paste"

Scroll to the app you just moved and click on it

Click "Install" when the package installer opens

Click "Ok" when you're prompted to replace the application

You can now open the application to test it or click "Done"

Navigate back to "settings"

Click "Applications"

Click "Manage Applications"

Scroll down to the app you just installed click on it

Click "Move to SD card" and watch the "Total" and "Application" numbers drop

I've moved about a dozen system apps to the sd card and have not had any problems. Facebook still syncs with my contacts, internet still works, market still functions.

I'm sure this same fuction can be performed with adb commands. If someone would like to write them I'll post them here.
[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
Want an even easier way? Install Titanium Backup and long press on app, it will give you some options and at the bottom there will be one for Move to SD card. This works for all user apps but not for a lot of the system ones that come baked in. Once you move all of the ones you can though, you'll have plenty of room since Froyo roms are generally pretty light anyway.
[Droid Eris General] joshw0000:
Yea, but I like to move them all. Wish Froyo would let us use Darchstar or CM A2SD.
[XPERIA X10 General] C3LL0PHANE:
So I searched, and searched... and searched for a solution but got no where. So right before the last update I put on a generic swedish OS but since then used SEUS to update my phone to the current one here in Canada.

Since then I cannot get the GPS to work. I turn on the GPS and even the assisted GPS but it always comes up with "Your current location is temporarily available"

I checked the Rogers network settings as well and they are all correct.

What else can I do?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisreallygay:
So I just tried to go back to a previous nandroid backup I had on my phone, specifically CyanogenTazz because I didn't like the current ROM I was on... So I wiped my dalvik cache and did a factory reset wipe and then went to restore and it gave me this error "error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!" What is the exact command in command prompt to do that? And what caused this error? I'm pretty confused :P
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisreallygay:
Nevermind, fixed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenize:
How did you fix it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
either had a low battery or a full sd card
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisreallygay:
No surprisingly, I had 100% battery and a few gigs left in my sd card. I went into settings and turned on Usb debugging and then plugged it into my computer then I went into nandroid and it worked fine. I think it had something to do with the ROM that I was on or something... Because I've never had that problem.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Thats odd, i haven't encountered that before. usually for me its just low battery or disk space
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Mine was caused by my nandroid being for a different eris (I had switched phones) and I had to remake the nandroid file and replace the items in it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Only Loki:
Does anyone know what this is, Or why it happens. my phone would crash and this screen would pop up. I did alot on my phone before it started to happen. I think it has something to do with GPS, but the only other people I have seen on the net to have this problem have different stories.

One says its after he rooted

Another person on the T-mobile forums reported it but didn't give a suspected reason.

Mine did it after three things happened I used the supl.google.com gps fix, and my battery showed an overheat warning when charging turned off. And My girl tried to send 15 pics she took to herself and cousin one through E-mail and the other through mms. The email and text messages to my girl gave me error messages that and a way to solve the problem (which didn't work) The only thing that worked was deleted her thread and the email.

I have since restored factory setting to see if it fixes the problems. I'll keep everyone updated.

If anyone has any ideas or has had this happen chime in maybe we can find out whats going on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Only Loki:
Factory Data reset was useless, it was a waste of time. It appears to be related to the GPS. After thinking about it, the radio probably burned out when i was trying to use gps while charging it in the car yesterday, it had to be 94 degrees outside probably hotter on the dash. The phone actually reset to the battery indicator and flashed a battery heat warning. Gps didn't last last long after that. It was the next morning when I started to get the error.

Called rep, and he gave me an exchange right away, no questions, will be getting another phone sat. or monday.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycaveman:
I realize this is a little old, but I just wanted to say that I just had the same problem today while I was using a navigation tool (Waze). I thought it might be related to the app, but maybe it is the GPS as op said.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klyentel:
I do realize this thread is months old but, likewise, I just had the same thing happen to me.

I wasn't using GPS though, I was simply trying to tether through usb.

Next thing I know the "kernel panic, upload mode" screen came up rendering my phone useless:(

I pulled the battery restarted, and did the same thing yet this time the screen didn't come up allowing me to tether and search the issue.

From the google search results I came across a thread where a guy said it had something to do with task managers/killers. He said since he unistalled the version he was using "advanced task manager" he never had the problem again.

which led him to believe it came from the wrong proccesses being killed or stopped by it which caused the kernel to crash.

Likewise...I too was using a task killer--Auto killer. So I uninstalled it as well, and now use the system default task manager to kill unwanted apps manually.

So far so good:cool:...Idk if this is the solution, but to any future readers that run across this and are having the same problem, I suggest you rid of any task killing apps that may be running. Manually kill apps on your own, and let android handle the rest.:D

I'm not saying dont use them at all but...unless you are an advanced enough user to understand how they work a little more, your best benefit is to leave it be.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy25000:
Here are some tips that helped me fix this issue:

1. As someone said earlier, uninstall task killers. It's better to install an app that changes the os default task killer. I use autokiller and I use the preset optimum. This way the os can manage the processes and it will stay stable.

2. If you have setcpu, make sure to go to menu, autodetect device, and then set the minimum to 200.

3. If you flash a rom, if it's possible use a clockwork recovery image instead of using Odin.

After these steps, it never happened to me again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klyentel:
I was using Autokiller too....I uninstalled it and everything seems fine, Idk, may had nothing to do with it...because I've used Autokiller for quite a while, way back on my G1 and never had that problem, oh well...appreciate your input.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demize!:
I had several "kernel panic" warnings on my handset which I replaced. If I remember it was after using Google maps right after an update and it was hot as a ***** and could smell components melting. As far as autokiller the experience I had was that say I was online Google reader decided to check XDA for instance,go back to Steel would have closed the App out.this happened using visual task swithcher and the default last used programs panel. So I don't use it for that reason.

if your phone is Loki, use Odin, you'll be Thor.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
I think this is related to some applications. This is happening to me also, I am on Stock 2.2 Rooted. First I noticed this one when I was online on Nimbuzz and my yahoo account was logged in through nimbuzz, and when I started Yahoo messenger with the same login ID I got "USER FAULT NOT KERNEL PANIC". It happened with same scenario again & again. So I dont use both together.

Again I noticed when I kept my phone on charging through USB connected to a PC, sometimes my fon went in the same Panic mode without doing anthing.

Somebody needs to find out why this is happening. some application or process is causing this problem which needs to be find out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianking21:
Vibrant Crash Response

I have the same problem! It's happened about 20 times to my phone. It crashes, gets hot as ****, and gives me the 'user fault kernel panic upload mode' screen.

I think I've narrowed it down a little though.

Things I've noticed:

1.. It only happens when the phone is charging, never on battery.

2.. It only happens after the screen is turned off, never while I'm using it (anywhere from 5 min to hours after the screen has been off).

I'm guessing its some kind of background process that uses a lot of processing power and overheats the phone..

Hope this helps. Be sure to post up if you find a solution.. I don't want to burn it up!

Also i have tried three different Kernels so i am pretty sure this is going to be a hardware issue.

My cousin had the same problem but, It did happenned on battery power, he did not activated the GPS or Google Map.

The phone is practically bricked. It does not boot to android. We tried everything and came up with no results. Even we get the battery off and waited like a minute or so, plug it back and try to turn it on and it just got us to the same screen with the message saying something about kernel panic upload mode and a bunch of red numbers at the upper left corner. He does not installed any task killer either.

I think he was trying to install a .zip file from the SD Card in clockwork recovery mode. Now we can't even get to recovery mode!

Just curious if we know our phone's GPU is more powerful or not. I heard the Iphone 3gs were , and ares is way better than those so Idk. Just want bragging rights.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
WELL THE 3GS was faster gpu than the psp I forgot where I saw it but this smashes the 3gs so I'm gonna say yes by a long shot ...

This is a slightly old but was originally an extremely good article (still is, just maybe slightly outdated) and it compares the 3gs to the galaxy S and a few other phones in terms of performance... Scroll down to about halfway through the article for the table just above "Cpu Performance"

How positive are we that this can handle dream cast/sega saturn?

there is already a Playstation emulator, a ps2 emulator might not be far off, but as will all emulation you tend to need hardware thats a LOT better than the system your emulating.

really?! thats awesome!
[Vibrant General] gTen:
Considering the GPU..there is no reason why it should not be able to handle it...As I stated the Dreamcast uses the PowerVR 2 chip..and Galaxy S has a PowerVR 5 chip >.>

@Berserk87 - PS2 may take time as the snapdragons can't handle it..if any will be able to handle it, it would be the Galaxy S..the only issue is with emulating is a penalty...the Galaxy S is only slightly superior to a PS2 so it may be tough :/
[Vibrant General] youneek:
I think someone needs to find a way to use a ps3 controller with the phone before it will be truly amazing to have these advanced emulators since you can only play the simple games.
