[Windows Phone 7 General] :
There are TONS of thread with the problem of the LG E900 rebooting himself, that's an hardware fault, you have to replace te system board, one or two reboots per months is acceptable, but if after reflash your device crazily reboots every 5 minutes, RMA it!

Am using lg optimus 7 too with mango RTM noticed the rebooting frequently in September now no more
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Well, you are using an OS pre-release with drivers not written for your OS but for Nodo.

You must worry only if you are using a stable OS release with appropriate firmware (so if u always updated via Zune without homemade tricks, I suggest you to flash back to original using the Firmware collection in this forum)

My Samsung focus i917R keeps restarting

Hello everyone,

Please be patient and bear with me while I try to tell you my story.

Background:

I bought the Samsung Focus i917R in September 2011, it had NoDo OS version that time. I read a lot about the microSD card issue and I really needed more than 8GB space on my phone. I had options to go with other HTC phone and not ever deal with Samsung ever but at that time Samsung Focus seem to be the best Windows Phone in the market to me (Amoled screen). I did a lot of research for a compatible microSD card and found that someone broke open an HTC (I believe it was HTC, don’t remember 100%) phone and found that it is using Sandisk class 4 memory card. So, I went with a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 memory card. My phone didn’t really give me any problem. I used up almost 17GB out of 22GB total memory.

Main Story

Then I updated my phone to Mango in end of Oct. I don’t remember if I started to have restart issue right after Mango update, but I noticed if I use my phone for a long time, like playing games or use the internet or use IM+ Pro or use Slacker Radio, it gets warm and then restarts. At that time I thought may be because I am using microSD card.

So, in Dec I formatted my phone and installed the newer Sandisk Mobile 8GB Class 4, bought it from futureshop.ca. I noticed I still have the same issue. This is very disappointing. I am only using 3GB space out of 15GB. So, I removed the microSD card and formatted the phone again. Now I have only 8GB and no microSD card. I still have the same issue. I will give you guys some examples of the issue.

Issue example:

If I run the Slacker Radio for over 10 min or so, the phone will get warm and it will restart.

Use the native Microsoft bing map app for a while and the phone feels warm and it will restart. I don’t think the phone gets hot or anything. This much heat for a mobile device should be acceptable. I was using iPhone 3G before I bought the Samsung and I don’t think the Samsung gets any hotter.

Let me know if any of you ran into similar issue. I don't know what to do. I bought the phone from a guy (he bought it from Rogers) and don't have the papers, not sure if it is still under warranty. The phone packaging was sealed though, it was brand new. Somewhat disappointed in Samsung.

I think I pretty much gave up on Samsung. I like the OS and I love the Zune pass. I guess that's the only reason I am sticking to Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
2 Questions for everyone.

1. How much memory have you used (and you have free in the About section under settings)

2. Have you updated from Nodo through the Mango Betas to finally Official RTM Mango?

My Arrive has been pretty solid but came upon a bad Memory Issue I think due to a mix of the Betas + other apps and such and even though it said I had >2G free in the About screen, Zune only saw roughly 500M and the phone would act really sluggish and even reboot sometimes whenever I used Memory intensive apps (Mainly Super Tube and IE9 with image rich sites). No idea how to fix the memory issue and after a good month or so, my IE actually died (could not start the browser at all) so I finally Hard reset and the phone is 100% once again. With all the same apps installed I have over 7G free and plan to keep it a bit cleaner this time around.

I do need a 32G upgrade, but find it odd how with no memory low message or anything, the phone obviously was running low on memory somewhere because when I would free some up (deleting media + download files within apps) it would regain speed in apps that were getting sluggish with the low memory. It may stink, but a good Hard Reset may fix a lot of Reboot issues.

Also Heat may be an issue, but it will have to get extremely hot (to the touch even) before it will actually reboot. The phone has never gotten as hot as my Touch Pro and it still didn't reboot due to heat. (battery would die first lol)
[Windows Phone 7 General] epostsyed:
Hey. My Samsung Focus i917 Rogers firmware.

1. Total space 7.39 GB. Free memory.6.6Gb.

2. Updated official Mango from NoDo. Didn't try RTM.

3. It restarts when the phone gets hot. But the heat is not that much, the phone is holdable and touchable. I think it's a heat related issue for my Samsung. Because every time it restarts its hot

[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
I have a rooted HTC Evo, well 2 of them really, my girl friend and my own. My Evo was dropped :( and I broke the glass, but it works amazing still.

The only reason I'm getting rid of our Evos, is the simple fact I got a new job with AT&T and they are giving me free phone service.

So my question is this, what would be a fair price?

Phone 1

Fully Rooted Evo with a cracked screen

Phone 2

Hardly used Evo in perfect shape

Cables and Charges

They both have cases, black and red as well some cables and charges I'd throw in.

I was thinking $200 for the broken one and $350-$400 for the one in perfect shape. I'm just looking to cover my ETF with Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
When I have something to sell I'll usually check Craigslist to see what other people are asking and Ebay to see what other people are actually getting. I personally think $200 is overly optimistic for any phone with a broken screen, but that's only based on what I'd be willing to pay.

Pete
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I would take the broken one in to Sprint and have them fix the screen before you sell it.
[EVO 4G General] revx:
Or if you're feeling confident, a friend of mine got hold of a broken Evo from another friend of his. (This other friend just went and bought a whole new phone, so the old one was fine ESN-wise, it just had a cracked screen.) Anyway, we scoured ebay and found the right replacement front panel (digitizer, lcd, and front panel housing) for about $65, it took less than 10 minutes to install and reassemble the phone and now it's good as new.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Why spend the money and take the risk when you can just bring it in to the store and have them do it for free?
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
Fix it for free? Seriously? So I can take it to my Sprint Store in Folsom, CA and have them fix it? I have insurance on the phone, but that company is insane to try to work with.

[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
Yeah, as long as you have TEP on that line, they will fix a broken screen for free. It came with the new changes in Sprint TEP coverage last month. It's $35 for a new screen if you don't have TEP, which is still an awesome deal, big win for everybody. I'm about to go try it out myself, as I just got a crack in my screen a couple day ago.

Also, $200 is way too much for a broken phone, I'd say $100-$150. So, it's very worth it to get it fixed first. It may be different where you are, but here, NIB Evo's get about $350 and like new one's go for $300. Remember, the phone is in stock everywhere now, so anyone can go buy one from Sprint NIB for $450. I see them go for $425 on Ebay, but with Paypal fees, Ebay fees and shipping, ur back down to $350

hi everyone,

I am using mattc evoleo build and it is really great.

but I am almost out of space so I need to increase the interior phone storage from 1 GB to 2 GB.

can you show me the proper way to increase it or a data file I can replace to do so :o ????!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Kev007 posted this a while back

Manually edit data.img if you want a different size or use a different build!

I wrote this tutorial using a European HD2, 8GB microSD card, DarkStone's Froyo_v1 and a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04, your experience may vary.

Requirements:

* Desktop/Laptop running some form of Linux.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Both, a PC and a Mac, can resize the .img file but not modify (specifically - run resize2fs) the ext2 file system that Android uses. I was in a hurry to post the resizing instructions and didn't fully test the procedure on a PC. Currently, this procedure is only possible on a Linux based operating system. I apologize if your time was wasted.

* data.img file

* HD2, microSD card, microUSB cable etc, etc (you might be better off using a card reader)

--------------------------------------------(Running Linux)----------------------------------------------

Procedure:

1. UnZip Android or your present data.img file to your Home Folder. Or a folder of your liking (or even on your memory card!), just remember to cd before you do the following:

2. Open Terminal and Copy&Paste (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Shift+V) this:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=XXX >> data.img

where XXX is the amount, in MB, by which data.img should be increased by.

My filesize started out as 256MB and I wanted a total of 512MB. That would mean I needed a extra 256MB, so I executed this:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256 >> data.img

3. Run a file system check and file system resizer

Code:

e2fsck -f data.img

resize2fs data.img

e2fsck -f data.img

if prompted, press "y" for "yes"

4. Copy all of the Android files onto your SD card, put it into your phone, and run CLRCAD.exe and HARET.exe!

-----------------------------------------------TIPS!-------------------------------------------------

Don't know how to cd?

If you're running a modern build of Linux you can just mount your SD card (phone or cardreader), open File Browser and paste "dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=XXX >> " into your open Terminal. This way you can just drag and drop the file into Terminal rather than typing out the file location!

Mounting:

If you're switching between builds and need to copy more than just your apps (apps are easily backed up by ASTRO File Manager - found on the Android Market), mount your data.img file and copy/backup the relevant data before moving on!

Linux:

Code:

mount -o loop data.img /mnt/data

Apart from that, I've nothing else to suggest, except maybe moving most of your apps etc from the "internal storage" to the sd card.

Maybe someone with a lot more knowledge than I can help

Actually I might have a clue, is it set to record in HD? Having just set mine at multimedia message, it only records 10 seconds, and is as bad as yours.

Unfortunately it is set to record in HD and as Fiddich has said it seems to work so much better on WVGA.

Ironically when I play back a video shot in MMS mode its clearer and more smooth than the HD setting

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
Hi,

I've had a quick look through the Q&A forum but didn't see anything obvious.

Anyway, I wonder if there are recommendations on call volume management for incomming calls. My various phones have always been Nokia prior to the Desire. The Nokias have a facility to quickly config profiles and change them, e.g.:

o Meeting (one beep for incomming calls and messages);

o General

o Silent

o Outdoor

....

The profile sets various attributes like Call Volume, Ringtone, Vibrate. These are then fixed for that profile so no chance of accidentally changing the volume to silent in you pocket.

I tried a couple of Market apps but the ones I tried didn't do the job properly.

Any thoughts on this, or is it just live with it ?

Regards

Colin

hi

i've seached all over here and modaco and cant find a solution

i had this feature on a HD rom but i've flashed back to MCR

when i click the optical joystick once i want the screen to "wake"

and then when i click it again (double click) i want it to "unlock"

i dont mind editing apk's or the bravo-keypad.kl

i dont want an app to do it (cos i think there is one out there)

i just want to change the framework on my existing rom to allow this please

any links, help or support would be greatly appreciated

thanks! :D
[Desire General] jamesc123:
Don't know if it will work on your rom but from LeeDroid's site.

leedroid. protogenlabs. com / customization/

(remove spaces)

scroll down and find D-PAD to Wake & Unlock. flash the download from recovery.

Don't know if you will count this as an app but this is much as I know.

I don't know how to edit the bravo-keypad.kl

Hope it helps :)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Modaco custom rom supports trackpad wake already i think. For unlock you need a kernel with it enabled and also an edited htclockscreen.apk

yeah it supports wake, its unlock i want

any idea which kernal supports it?

Try upgrading to the newest stock ROM. I saw you still run 1.07.x, but there is already a version 1.36.x.

Does anyone know if a hard reset fixes the problem?
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
Maybe, but also check the values of:

HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\HomeDST

and

HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Is that the same as enabling/disabling the automatic time in the phone options? :confused:

BTW what value should be in those entries? Thanks
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
Try to set both of them to "0", soft reset, set the correct time and time zone through settings and check if the problem still exists.
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Doesn't work. As soon as I activate the automatic time, it increases 1 hour :(
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
The automatic hour must be deactivated.
[HD Mini General] jade master:
This is the process to de-activate auto time update.

Go to:

Settings> Menu> All Settings> Personal> Phone> (search for) GSM/UMTS Services> Time Synchronization (second last option in list)> get settings. Un-check "automatic change time zone..."> Done

now the time will not update automatically.
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
That's in post #6.
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
I knew that, that's how I solved it long time ago, but what I'm trying to do is to make the automatic time work again, since I find it quite useful :(

Useful of what?
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
When traveling for example. Thanks for the tip anyway ;)
[HD Mini General] alexandros0124:
i followed the instructions from NitroNitrous old thread where you disable the updates.

(very well hidden settings).

Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".

thanks NitroNitrous

I have aslo an open case with HTC as soon i will get update i willl pass over

One other guess is that the provider has incorect setting. could be that the case ?
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
I thought about that, since it happened when they changed the time for the daylight saving thing, but it's hard to believe that many providers in different parts of the world have made the same mistake :confused:
[HD Mini General] falchetto13:
nah! it's clearly a bug, something like network is sending the correct hour but the phone is applying by always adding daylight time saving again... :(
