[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] margelef:
I have been having a nagging problem w/ my DInc ever since I was stock w/ 2.1.

When I use the GPS w/ Google maps, my phone will randomly reboot.

I've tried various kernels, various 2.2 ROMS, tried underclocking / managing temperatures and continue to be plagued w/ this issue.

My current setup is:

Rooted, S-Off, Virtous ROM 2.6, Adrynalyne's Virtuous Custom Kernel, 2.15.00.07.28 radio

It is rock solid with GPS off. As soon as I enable GPS and start navigating somewhere, it's only a matter of time before it reboots. Sometimes it reboots after 1 minute - other times 20 minutes. No rhyme or reason to the length of time before reboot.

I've been hoping that the latest kernels, radio, etc would alleviate this problem, but I'm about at my wits end and ready to just un-root, go back to stock, and try my luck w/ a replacement from VZW.

Anybody have any troubleshooting tips that I can try before I go the replacement route?

UPDATE: Took phone into VZW while it was doing a reboot. They immediately put in a refurb order for me. Replacement phone has been absolutely rock solid for a few days now. Thanks for your help in convincing me it was a hardware issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Idea

What's the temperature of your phone at the point it reboots (or comes out of its reboot).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] margelef:
Good question, I've never actually recorded the temperature after the reboot (I obviously can't know what the temp was *before* the reboot) :-)

I have, however, used SetCPU with a profile that should underclock (and throw an event notification) if the phone gets above around 43 degrees celsius. I've never actually gotten that notification, though. So either the phone isn't actually getting that hot, or it's rebooting before SetCPU can kick in and pop up the notification.

I'll GPS on the way home tonight and after the inevitable reboot, I'll take a look at what the temperature reading is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
...

Great. Of course, my question was one of experience and not randomness. I am expecting to hear something back from you along the lines of 43c+. If you are at 47c or 48c then its a no brainer.

Bad radios (not the 2.15.xxx software; the physical hardware) are a documented issue with early early early DINC's. They are faulty and they start trying REAL HARD to get their signal, at which point the DINC overheats and reboots.

I returned my first DINC (I am on #3) as it would superheat to 43c (without being in actual use ... temp would just climb and climb) and then enter a reboot loop.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] margelef:
Other than having SetCPU do an "Audible Alert" if it hits a certain temperature, is there any sort of diagnostic logging that I can do to help monitor the temperature?

I have used System Panel to show CPU/usage history, but I have not noticed a spike in the CPU right before the reboots in the history view.

This is a release-day unit, so it would have been in the first batch of DIncs. You reference a documented issue on the early batch of phones...do you have a link to something that I can reference if I take this to VZW for a replacement?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Not any more

At the time when this was big news you could find postings, but no admissions from VZW if that's what you want. I think you overestimate the amount of difficulty VZW is going to give you. Sure, a level 1 tech may get very very very annoying by asking you if you pulled the battery and if you are running "advanced task killer" (I guarantee the latter actually), but you should just come up with the answer you know they want, until they agree to pass you up the chain. At the second level, they don't ask those questions (case in point: when I went to return DINC # 2 because it was shipped to me with a pre-blown speaker; the tier 1 rep actually asked me if I pulled the battery and did a reboot. Tier 2 rep apologized when I told him that).

Anyway, if you have one of these bad initial batch phones (as I did), I doubt any software solution is going to help you. In fact, it will hurt. If your phone has a faulty radio or is overheating after a few minutes of GPS, you probably want to know that, rather than mask it.

Turn off your protections, run the GPS, and see if you are hitting 43c+ (I believe 48c is the absolute highest level the Incredible will actually go before shutting down to save itself). If you are getting that hot, you simply have a bad phone.

EDIT: Whoops - missed your question. I use BATTERY INDICATOR (Free) from the market to show my battery strength as a number. It also shows the temperature when you slide down the top menu bar:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicator
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] margelef:
Well, took all of 5 minutes of gps'ing before my phone started rebooting. It rebooted, I opened System Panel and the temperature was 35.7. Then it rebooted again. I shut off gps, went into System Panel and temp was 36.1. With the gps now off, the reboots stopped.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Hmmmm

Honestly, I have to turn the reigns over to someone else. I am still thinking bad radio (search out Incredible random reboot) as the source regardless of heat, but heat would have been the easier answer. My first DINC would also reboot randomly at the office (where it is sufficiently cool all the time).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
It's assuredly hardware failure.

In my case, it wasn't related to temperature. Anything that taxed the radio or cpu triggered a reboot and/or boot loop. Even batch operations in Titanium Backup would render the phone unusable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] margelef:
You are probably correct.

I reverted back to unrooted stock 2.1 last night. Did not install ANY applications whatsoever. This morning, used Google Navigation on my way to work and the phone rebooted about 3 minutes into my drive.

What's interesting now is that my phone is telling me that it's up to date and there are no updates available. I wonder if VZW has pulled the 2.2 OTA because of the battery drain issues. It'll be interesting to see when I go into VZW for a replacement phone if they make me go through the 2.2 upgrade or if they'll just swap out the phone.

You will be able to get a wifi connection on the phone - you wont be able to call or text - so basically its like an ipod touch -
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
and he can only connect to your hero if he's using one of the last few nightlies when they turned on the ability to connect to ad-hoc. Normally, an android device cannot connect to an ad hoc network.
[Hero CDMA General] LiquidSolstice:
Have you heard of punctuation? I'd love to help but I have no idea what you're asking.

EDIT: It appears you're asking if another person can connect to your Hero using their phone. That's only possible if their phone supports connecting to Ad Hoc wireless points.
[Hero CDMA General] mycomputerisjunk:
Along those lines, does a kernel exist that supports WiFi tether in AP mode on the Hero200?
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
no drivers to allow that. If your friend is running froyo or eclair (doesn't work on all phones), he can use the wpa_supplicant from this thread. Then he can connect to ad-hoc

UPDATE 4/4/11

For those of you interested in a dock from the last run, my stock was bought out by a local company.

I started to make another run, and I broke my back in an accident at work, yes I can still walk. 2 split discs, 1 herniated, 2 bulging, 1 vertibre broken. So getting in the shop was difficult to say the least, first surgery to relieve pain was a failure.

I do feel a little better, have an appointment for more surgery today, however pointis, these docks.

Id like to get back in the shop and start back up, wife has been so nice as to start replacing older equipment with new stuff while I have been down, sky is the limit now, I want a new dock for myself now, so the motivation to get in there even if it's to make one for myself, is pretty high.

Just thought i'd update, let anyone interested know what was/is going on. Emailing me is the best option sometimes.

Jim

UPDATE 2-14-2011

Damn......

I sold all 22 docks to one local company today.

So, I started on some new ones.

What ill wrap up this week are...

1 solid Mahogany dock

1 solid Walnut dock

1 Purpleheart and white oak dock.

I am waiting on a shipment of wood this week, then can get some other types out.

Probably going to start doing limited runs, say, ill only make 2-3 black walnut docks, or 1-2 ash and mahogany docks, and that will be the only time I offer said combo. Then ill move on to another design, or combo of exotic and domestic woods. I have alot of Japanese Cedar coming this week, but will only make a few.

Since this first run sold out, if you want to place an order, you can contact me via email. Email is the best way.

Price of docks are 40.00 + 11.00 s/h, I accept PayPal, and if needed in event you're not old enough for PayPal, you can send me a money order.

I will take orders, typical domestic and exotic woods will run the regular 40.00, however if you have a request for a certain type of wood and it is really exspensive, I will have to add a surcharge for that. I don't expect that unless you want a dock made from say....some obscure German wood.

Contact me at,

Jim

Oldmacnut@Gmail.com

Here is a pic of the 3 I will have done by weeks end, first come first serve on these, ill post pics by this weekend of them completed if not presold.

Hey guys, thanks for showing the interest, I wouldn't have much to do in the shop if it wasn't for these docks for the DX, since I got a Galaxy Tab this weekend, you better believe I will make one for that.

Jim

Update 11/6

After not having anytime to work on more Docks, I had Time to Make one for my Wife Yesterday.

I got my Hands on some Japanese Cedar a week ago, and she wanted one made from Cedar, so, here it is, getting the 4th coat of Poly this morning...

I call it "The Blonde" I have some of that Cedar with Red and Blonde in it.

Also got some leather for it...

Update, 10/22

Well, went to solid Oak, and a Poly coat, made it not for me, but a member here.

Here are some pics, I have not attached the fabric, but did set the various types I have onto the dock.

Bonus Pics,

If you want to know more, shoot me an email, oldmacnut at g mail dot com
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Here is the final,

It was real hard to match a 60 year old dresser, but for my first time staining I know my wife likes it. I did learn alot, now to make one for me but with the leather back instead of fabric.
[Droid X Accessories] Eirikr88:
Awesome job man. Did you build a magnet it into it for the desktop dock app?
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
No I did not embedd a magnet. Wife and I like the option to turn the deskclock on or off. Sometimes I just want to place mine in for texting or something else, but i have messed around with magnets.

I should have another one done by the weekend, I want one where the Dx sits level, so I am working on a curved back to match the contour of the phone, and I am also working on a vertical version as well. Will I sell any? sure if there are enough to people to justify my time spent. takes some time to make each one, but then again that is the very first one i did for the Dx. The Incredible dock....well I got like 12 of those things floating around somewhere.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
1 Person out of 227 had something to say?, wow, guess I wont be posting the other stuff then.
[Droid X Accessories] andyandy6464:
Don't let the lack of comments get you down - they were so impressed they couldn't think of anything to say!

I stumbled across your docks today (I also saw the one you made for an Incredible) and I have to say, they look really great.

I'd love to see some more pics with the phones actually in them!

Have you recieved any word from prospective buyers? I'd REALLY like to purchase one for myself. If there isn't enough demand, then i'd be willing to pay a little more...

Edit: I just went back and looked again at the docks you made for the Incredible. They look even better than I remembered! If you begin to sell these, count me in for 2.

...Please post some more pics! :D
[Droid X Accessories] x.v_:

I would like to puchase one solid wood dock for my droid x please
[Droid X Accessories] Mayfairkid:
Ditto...in a cherry finish please :) Also would need to imbed the magnets for the dock though :) Id pay upwards of 40 bucks for it too...
[Droid X Accessories] BBJohnnyT:
Just noticed this thread. Wow, this is nice! I'll buy one once you start selling them.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Wow, Ok. Did not check this thread.

Ok to answer a few questions.....

Sorry I wont post the templates.

Each dock take about a week.

Each Dock is different, as each one is done by hand, and sometimes I sand a little different

I have a new "play" on this dock

Yes I will make them for people.

Here are some pics of the 2nd revision.... Nevermind that I totally screwed up the clear coat....lol

These 2 docks...I made cause I was bored, If you are indeed interested in one, shoot me an email, my oldmacnut at g mail
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Ok, so since there seems to be some interest, Wife will be going to Home Depot tomorrow to pick up some wood. Since Home Depot does not carry any Cherry that I would bother to use, Ill make 4 of her style, and 4 of my style for starters.

Ill update tuesday night on progress and how long it will be, could just knock them all out this week. Sorry I have been out of town since thursday for a wedding.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:

[Droid X Accessories] themobijew:
hmmmm...looks like mine! :P
[Droid X Accessories] Sleuth255:
Nice idea! Here's a thought: you could set a magnet in your dock too so the phone would bring up the dock app. A bit of router work to make the magnet flush would be pretty much all you need.
[Droid X Accessories] damiens:
Wow really nice work. Your docks look great.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Ive messed around with magnets before, Wife and I just use the DeskClock app, so I never embedded one.

Alot of the work is based on the router table, infact I am building a new router table right now to work with this small material and.........the aluminum :eek: Im going to be experimenting with on the next 3-4 I make.

Ill make one with magnets if thats what someone wants, Heck Ill try to figure out a way to hide the magnet even if the fabric is not used.

I found a supplier for Walnut, Cherry, Ash, and the specialty woods like Panga Panga, Indian Rosewood, African Black Mahogany, and Mexican Cordia in the sizes I buy and use, but Woods like that, thats a custom one off dock that lets say.....the cost would change and it would be harder to mass produce.

I will try just about anything, magnets, special woods, mix of metal/wood.
[Droid X Accessories] xoxidine:
WOW, most impressive. Your work has encourage me to look into making a custom dock for myself instead of buying one.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
I am experimenting with different woods, as well as Wood+Metal. Trying Cedar, some 10+ year old Mahogany, pics to come....:D
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:

I would totally buy one!

they look like little pews for my Droid!

[Droid X Accessories] mikeyscislo:
I'll buy one after I get out of Air Force BMT!
[Droid X Accessories] Nefariouss:

[Droid X Accessories] 0mie:
I'm guessing the OP in no longer around? I emailed him twice and no answer :( I wanted to get 2 of these, they look AWESOME!!!

Guess I will stick w/ the lame multimedia dock now :(
[Droid X Accessories] ike88:
Very cool. I am in need of a better dock to work with my otterbox case. It wont fit the standard dock with this case.
[Droid X Accessories] kameleongt:
great looking dock I wouldn't mind one in black/red
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Sorry guys, ive been so busy.

Ok, Otterbox friendly Dock, can do. Ill borrow all 3 otterbox cases from local store to make sure it will fit, and if needed change it up a bit.

Painted, can do, however, kinda dont want to paint Walnut, Mahogany, or other exotic wood, so, let me see what I can do.

I just tooled up to do a mass run, plan on an initial run of 20, Cedar, Walnut, Oak, Mahogany, etc. I wont offer any up for sale until they are all done, photographed, numbered and packed for shipping, so if yall can wait approx 2 weeks, you can pick out a dock.

Jim
[Droid X Accessories] themobijew:
ill take my dock #2 hehe (im ur first sale :P my name has since been changed)
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
But, I was going to do a vertical one for you right?. Im cutting blanks for horizontal docks right now.

Ill post a pic, but....

I cut blanks so far for 3 Cedar, 2 Redwood, 3 Pine for Painted versions, 2 Mahogany, 1 Red Oak, and I have some of the White Oak cut so far, man I hate working with White Oak. But, I still have Walnut to do, some Ash, Maple, and if someone wants to be big pimpin and pay the money, Ill do a Bubinga.
[Droid X Accessories] oldmacnut:
Here,

In the pic.

Blanks cut,

2 Cedar

2 Pine

1 Mahogany

2 Redwood

1 White Oak (ready to be assembled)

Wood waiting to be re-sawn to proper size,

Ash, Walnut, More Redwood and Cedar, Red Oak, White Oak, enough Purple heart for 1 dock, and the last of my Mahogany.

Should have everything cut by tomorrow mid day, kinda hoping to have all of them dont by weeks end.
[Droid X Accessories] themobijew:
got ur voicemail. will give u a call tomorrow :)
[Droid X Accessories] BFS1983:
That looks great, However I'd like it more if it looked more industrial like the droid X. Have you considered making it out of metal like aluminum? You can even do wood with aluminum accents from a thin "beauty sheet". Also you could put some holes in the feet to make it look a bit more modern and futuristic.

Anyway, It looks great, you should sell those things.
[Droid X Accessories] t0rqued:
Looks great

I'm just curious if you used dowels or not?

Looks great, I've got a case in the mail and am thinking about making something to mold around the case on my desk and keep it a little elevated since my desk is a dangerous place :)

I'd buy one if I didn't exhaust all of my "spending ducats" on getting the dang phone again and the case haha...
