Yeah, that would suck. I do love Launcher Pro, but I doubt it's the cause, since Google employees have admitted the issue is real, and that they can reproduce it and that they're testing a second fix idea for it already. If it were Launcher Pro, they'd have shut the issue down and said it was an LP problem.

As a group here, we've all not been very good about bug reporting on this. We should always include at a minimum our version # of the OS, what Launcher were running, rooted or not, amount of free space on our device, etc...enough data so that we can try to pin down a commonality for those with the problem, and those without.

I have a stock NS on 2.3.1 and today marks the 3rd time it has rebooted in a call. Most of the time for me it has happened after about 20min into the call. Weather bug, WPClock, pulse news app, along with other google services seems to be all that is running on my phone. I have never rooted this phone as i am mostly just a user.
[Nexus S General] bosewicht:
Mine has been doing it for sometime. I thought it was a radio hardware issue because it only happens using Bluetooth but maybe those calls are just longer I think. Anyone getting the radio dump files that are having the reboots?

Nexus S Update for Reboot BUG coming in 2 weeks!!!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post an article I saw on Phandroid.com saying that the Nexus S article isn't too far off!

Here's the link: http://phandroid.com/2011/01/28/nexus-s-reboot-fix-coming-within-2-weeks/

Enjoy and can't wait :D
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
This is why I bought the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] Crackaf3tt:
I'm glad they found a fix. It has happen a few times to me.sometimes within the same hour but I was never doing the same thing so I couldn't figure our what was causing it.even on non stock rom it would still happen. Very odd
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Phone rebooted in the middle of a call on me again last night. Only the third time in 7 weeks, but annoying nonetheless. I was about 20 minutes into the call.

Coupled with the hotspot feature requiring me to keep turning it on and off to tether well yesterday, and a couple of the white bars = no data issues yesterday, the charm of being a Nexus S owner was a bit strained to say the least. :(
[Nexus S General] lordmirg:
Interesting (and annoying):- I just had the first reboot during a call since I did the Factory reset and USB storage wipe. That was just over a month ago - and I've made a few quite long calls since then.

I tried to get a log with Log Collector, but it seems to start from after the reboot.

The common thing between last time and this time is that I had just installed Need For Speed: Shift. It's probably just coincidence, but I am beginning to think it may be something to do with the USB storage? NFS:S downloads a large amount of data (100MB+) to the USB storage. Do other people having this reboot issue have a significant amount of data on the USB Storage?

I'm going to monitor it further, and if I get any more reboots in the next few days, I'll first be trying to uninstall NFS:S and then if that still doesn't work another factory reset. Hopefully Google will get the fix mentioned out in the next week or so anyway.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I only have 2.05GB free on my usb storage area, but that's a pretty static number (been about that since day 1 of the phone). I've had only 3 reboots.

The log seems to be wiped at each boot. It's a shame that it's not kept running where we could actually see what happens at reboot (if anything).
[Nexus S General] bosewicht:
I have almost 6 gigs available and also have need for speed installed. I get reboots everyday sometimes during calls but also when the phone isn't in use. Its really annoying I hope a fix comes soon
[Nexus S General] dman777:
When I had the Epic 4g(first month of the release) I had this problem also. I exchanged it for another still did soft reboots. Not often but it did do them. Not when I was talking though...once when the phone rang...to this day can't help wondering if I missed this call from a chick I had a chance with.

Maybe be a design flaw hardware wise?

I am currently using the Samsung intercept(virgin mobile) and no reboots at all(3 months so far).
[Nexus S General] netarchy:
The reboots are a known issue and will be resolved in the next ota from google.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
LOL.

If you really had a chance with her, I think she'd have called again. :D
[Nexus S General] dman777:
I'm not totally convinced since I had this problem with the Epic when it was using Android 2.1. Was this a known issue dating that far back? If so, they waited 2 releases just to acknowledge it? Seems unlikely.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You're comparing Apples to Oranges. The Nexus S is an unlocked Google supported phone on multiple international carriers. The Epic is a Samsung supported locked phone on one small US-only network.

Samsung has a track record of dragging their feet, Google doesn't. We've had two OTAs in less than two months on the Nexus S. Time will tell, of course. We should see the next OTA in less than a week if Romaine_Guy's (a Google employee) post was accurate.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
And another reboot during a call for me last night.

The text message my friend sent while my phone was busy rebooting was "U dropped the call again...sorry ass nexus." I really couldn't disagree with him at that point.

This is only my 3rd or 4th time now, but it happened much sooner than the last time, like maybe if it's not truly random, it's going to increase in frequency. Are others with the problem noticing it occurring more frequently as time goes on, or it's just random. I went a month with nothing, then in the last 2 weeks 3 times.
[Nexus S General] jamiemac1977:
I am also gettign the problem on my UK one from Carphone Warehouse.

fortunately i do not call lots, but it has me wondering if i should really pay £429.99 for a new phone that i have to wait for an update to use as a phone!

May well jsut take this back to CW under principle. Shame as it's a VERY NICE device. :(

Back to N900 ... or wait?? What'ya think?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I think that it's an annoying and serious bug, especially when it happens to you, but it's also a non-issue for plenty of users, and a rare issue (4 times only for me) for others. It hasn't kept me from using the phone as my primary device.
[Nexus S General] lordmirg:
Sounds like the 2.3.3 update should fix this issue:

But how does this package fit into that? This looks like perhaps a way to get native debugging working, but I don't see what to do with this.

You haven't provided any information about what it does--the program just quits regardless of zune state or WP-device connected state. What does it do? Through what means is someone to interact with it? I don't know too much about how RAPI worked on Windows Mobile, but there isn't any indication of how to use /this/ in the article you linked.

I give to more info... but not now my friend
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
[This is a reverse engineering effort in progress. Your mileage may vary and information below could be completely inaccurate. Proceed at your own risk.]

It's a Windows service. Copy it somewhere handy, and issue the command (editing the path as necessary). NOTE: The spaces are required.

Sadly, I don't recall retail phones having RAPI bits, so doubt this will be useful. I'll have another look at the filesystem though.

Update: Judging by the way this executable behaves, it's likely meant to replace WMZuneComm.exe.

Update 2: Because of the reliance on Zune libraries (e.g. ZuneSA.dll), this is for 32-bit Zune users.

Update 3: Listens on localhost, port 64694

These are old binaries from old Zune client software. Retail devices don't have RAPI bits (verified via samsung ffus), therefore this is useless. Silly original poster.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nokser:
You do not have right to end because of ... Each distributed system WP7, has the shell RAPI applications and libraries.

What is so good about cyanogen is it good enough to move from leedroid v1.2 Rom?

What are the advantages of cyanogen?

Thanks

Aamir.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paper:
I there,

I have run cyanogen and leedroid on desire HD.

I personally like the sense interface and cyanogenmod has this removed.

I have been a fan of cyanogen on the g1 for a while now and always keep an eye on what is available but When I first got my desire HD I really fell for sense. I use the facebook/contact integration etc but a lot of users don't want this. CM has a good solid rom with all the extras removed. It is nice and fast and responsive but doesn't contain sense or google apps by default. You can add the google elements though.

I went for it to try it out and simply missed sense but was impressed with the speed etc

give it a go and see what you miss

have fun
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
Thanks I'll check Cyanogen out today.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alize:
Hi,

I found myself asking the same question but not only about CM roms, about any rom and I must say, I've tried Android Revolution and CM and all I can say is wow.

With stock, I found my phone struggling to last a whole day before the battery died, now with CM, it easily lasts a day - absolutely amazed by it.

As for the software itself, I am more than happy with it, I too like some aspects of Sense, others really annoy me so I'll never be truly happy with either direction!

All I can say is give it a try - everyone is different and will like different things! One thing is for sure though, your battery will be happier!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosswaa:
sense is better imo, im using cm6 customized alot but id much rater be on sense because of the camera contacts and all the other goodies you get like srs and dolby sound, battery i never had a problem with either one of them cm6 is known for battery problems on some phones

i like how you can easily customise the status/notification bar but thats as far as it goes for whats better, people will go on about speed improvements etc but there really isnt any its more placebo than anything i find

but each to their own

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atcasanova:
Hi

I looked around and saw a few ppl having trouble while rooting vibrant.

I've put update.zip on /sdcard, and when i reboot my phone in recovery mode it says something about my package not being signed.

So i googled and did this:

java -classpath "/home/ohai/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign update.zip file-signed.zip

(don't worry, i'm not that stupid, i DO have the sdk and the testsign installed here)

then renamed file-signed.zip to update.zip and replaced it on /sdcard, but still got the same message.

Does anyone have a link to a actually working update.zip to vibrant's froyo?

i'm using froyo.UVJL4, downloaded from samfirmware.com.

Thx in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdof1337:
If you are comfortable using the voodoo lagfix you can flash the new voodoo 5 kernels. They come with the SU binary and clockworkmod recovery built in. Then download busybox and superuser from the market. You'd have to flash via ODIN though.

Thx for the tips, but i was not thinking about using modified roms... all i want is to root my default rom from samsung, is it possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
You need the correct key to sign the zip file. My understanding is this key was not released by Samsung so you will not be able to sign your update.zip files to work with the 3e recovery.

The 2e recovery accepted a "test key" which is why we're able to use update.zip to root and use CWM.

The RATC method still works for rooting in the 2.2 Firmware. You can use SuperOneClick to root, and then replace the stock 3e recovery with the one from here. This is a modified 3e recovery which removes the signature checking.

Rooting T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo 2.2 JL5

I have the T-mobile Vibrant US Phone. I upgraded to JL5 and have rooted my phone with a program from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Get the latest version and you might have to run the program 2 or 3 times for it to finish. Note on my phone these were the steps I took.

1. Put phone in USB Debugging Mode.

2. Plug usb cable to computer.

3. Run the rooting program above with windows administrator rights.

4. It will run then probably hang half way through and indicate WAITING FOR

DEVICE.

5. Shut windows program down.

6. Reboot phone (Turn Off then On).

7. Reconnect to usb.

8. Restart the Rooting Program and Root.

9. It should finish and ask if you want to test SU say yes.

10. That's It you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.
