{EXPERIMENTAL} possible solution for "device reboots when screen is locked"

{EXPERIMENTAL}

ONLY FOR USERS WHO HAVE: "device reboots when screen is locked" problem

ok after a lot of P.M. discussions and some testing (not complete as stability needs to be tested over long time periods) i think there might be a solution to the "device reboots when screen is locked" which is compatible with the newer miniloader version... according to jerpelea the only reason why ppl are having this problem is because they are not having the correct baseband+stock-kernel versions...

thank you smartgardens for doing the testing.. but i feel we need to do some long term testing (few hrs atleast)...

ok so here goes:

1) flash FULL generic 2.1 stock SE FW 2.1.A.0.435 using flashtool

2) root & install recovery

3) but dont flash baseband package provided by J

4) flash latest CM7 rom

5) reboot into OS

6) after a few reboots just power off the device

7) now download this compressed (.rar) FTF package: http://www.mediafire.com/?927nap9a1cicloc

8) extract it in FIRMWARE folder of FLASHTOOL u will get file named: x10_amss_j020ak009.ftf

9) flash this file

10) now boot device & test for any problems/issues

the x10_amss_j020ak009.ftf is basically ONLY amss.sin + loader.sin

so this will just flash baseband 2.0.52 on top of stock FW 2.1.A.0.435

guys please test this and report back if it worked for u...

thanks

P.S.: i personally never had any issue with the bb package provided by J but since some users are facing these issues thought i might post this here...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Thanks Doomlord for your help, questions from me...

Do we need to do this everytime we flash a new update?

Other question, if we do any kind of restore will this undo this flash?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
how can i get the flasher included with j's package to flash the bb I am on xp

right re doing the lot through seus the lot see if this works

if it doesnt i am going to cry and stay on 2.1 for ever !!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gogogu:
wow. I haven't checked in on this ROM for a while, seems like a lot of stuffing around to install it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Not for everybody, just a few are having problems, it has nothing to do with Jerpelea's build.;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am really not sure if this is the FINAL solution.. lets do some more testing... especially with those who have been facing this problem...

ideally one should start with clean rom for testing purposes and then keep isntalling GB specific versions of app from market... but if u do want to restore files just avoid tampering the system files...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Ok, i have just done clean install so will test from now, everything is working like wifi/bt etc so so far so good.:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] superleeds27:
Just to let you know. J is looking into the OC and UV to see if it is actually causing the low battery reboots :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
@doomlord

The ftf bundle i linked in my cm7 screen off fix thread is basically stock 435FW with the amss.sin from the bb52 of the bbcollection.

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
oh ok...

but then using the steps mentioned above smartgardens didnt require to change miniloader to older version... :confused:

i think lets do some more testing... may be either of the steps we posted might work for some? if it does i will post this in ur fix thread...

lets see when more users test it...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
Went right back to seus restore redone everything still no good.

Going to leave this rom for a while a try again some time

sent from my 2.3 powered c64 with supsettings
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
i only have ONE request if is possible... is there ANY way at all to make the screen more responsive or is it STRICTLY a hardware limitation of the screen itself?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rtblittlebrown:
If the gb. Fps. Capped was removed then it would be really smooth
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SomethingAwesome:
Seems okay so far.

My first time testing this rom.

Seem quick and responsive. Just getting all my apps reconfigured etc.

No reboots or other issues yet.

Will report tomorrow as to allow extended testing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robbyf66:
I did have the rebooting issue,I think it was either smartgarden, your or 9Lukas5 that posted it, but I flashed 2.6.9_FX_k009_gb+FXR+busybox_in_xbin_v05.zip & modules_FreeXperia-Kernel-k009_wifi_CM7_j020a.zip

This was nearish pages 745-760ish

EDIT http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13647701&postcount=7652

They successfully fixed my reboot issue.

For Battery issue: I have 62% after 12 hours of semi activity, the secret? wifi turned on, gps turned on, screen brightness more than half full,>> no GSM radio! << I have an inactive sim card for testing roms at the moment. i believe it could be an issue with GSM module built in the rom/kernal. I'm no dev but this is what my testing has proved to me.

testing on x10 with J's baseband .52 flash package, j20a, k009

ps someone was asking about timescape on this rom, I used this xdasharerdsingedxrec.zip file that has arc launcher and working timescape, It was in the themes&apps section
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] k1sr:
J020a K900 - so far so good.

Getting random reboots, and a fairly hungry battery, but I'm hoping that will settle...

I notice people mentioned a screen off reboot - is this as soon as the screen goes off, or is this after a number of minutes...? Mine is after a number of minutes (up to 15 or so)

Is it possible this is the reboot cycle that the ROM is supposed to go through after install, as I mine sat stable without any reboots when I first installed, and now I've noticed at least three this morning (flashed ROM last night).

EDIT: now rebooting like a crazy person on smack. will try the Doomlord/9Lucas5/smartgardens method as outlined above...

Also, one more issue... screen would not wake on an incoming call - although this seems fixed too after applying reboot fix.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cloudee:
I just flashed J020a K009, it's very stable, no WLOD no reboot till now. However I got some issues in the sensors.

When I installed the Compass in market, I found the compass and the pitch and roll sensors' value just went crazy. The compass is and the roll is just rolling very fast. and the pitch is either full or empty.

Does anyone have the same problem?

P.s J your soooooo awesome, thanks very much!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SeeHarrier:
Hi, i install j20a k9 and get crazy wlods~ D:!! i think this problem are making from the UV/OC
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Findee:
Well mine works flawlessly with UC/OV.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robbyf66:
mine works perfect as well. i'm thinking of moving to it as daily rom.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mama_mia:
The only problem its the battery life.

Today my battery lasted 12 hours.

I had to turn off everything to have battery.

Something weird happened, in the graphic on the battery usage menu, on about 30% the battery drops do 10%, it's like a step down, I don't know what causes that.

I took a screenshot of the battery usage menu, but i don't know how to put it here.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:
J20a for me today was rock solid minus 1 wlod when I used linpack for the first time. Until I hit 7% battery. It started a reboot loop until I plugged it in. The whole time it was loading the Os there was a flashing white led. I don't know if it is supposed to flash when the battery is below a % or not. Then as soon as it was done loading the launcher, it would reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SeeHarrier:
ummm then why with me dont work fine, i test with some steps and always get wlod when the micro gets >1113 ( dont remember exactly the amount ) only work good if i down the max to 998 with setCPU and its the same with all kernel custom with all roms on test in my x10
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Findee:
Bug j020a k009

I'm not sure if it is a bug with the rom or with market but occasionally when I update an app or install a new app, the install will fail due to there not being enough space when I have plenty.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jan2jan:
Hi jerpelea,

I am testing cm7j20a-k9 for two days now and got no wlod,fc,reboot. The only thing I had was losing installed widgets after a reboot which I started by myself.

I had to reinstall the widgets.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] P4rtyboy:
for the life of me i cant get this to work :( i keep getting WLOD right @ startup, leading to an endless reboot cycle. these are the steps i did

flash to FW435

root, install xrec

flash to bb 52 (from j's pack)

wipe all the stuff (cache, dev, batt stat, sytem)

install update.zip...

but it doesnt want to work :( im pretty confident im missing a step here.. but if someone could help me out that would be great :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maxmaniac:
Well, my x10 is having both wlods and random reboots.

Wlods are difficult to trace because i cant replicate them...

On the other hand, i believe that random reboots are triggered when i have no network coverage. I live in a place with poor signal, and in some places of my house have no signal at all. And when i leave my x10 in some of those spots, in just a few seconds (lets say 5 to 10), the phone reboots itself...

Perahps i might had that i had to use smartgardens' solution for reboots regarding standby mode.

Hope this helps and thanks for this really nice rom!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] davelinders:
I did exactly the same thing but I always to end in a bootloop even if I

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sabaramo:
Just a quick note to J.

Awesome work. Had it running for a couple of days with rock solid stability.

Battery seems to drop really fast though.

edit- I dont use facebook and I immediately downclocked to 998MHz. So for those having issues maybe its one of those.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rdannar:
anyone, it is only a click of a button on the phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wiedz:
been using j20a k009 for > 24 hours, no problem occurred. no WLOD, no reboots.

use setcpu to OC and set freq to 245kHz when screen off.

battery life is good, on minimal usage ( i have facebook, twitter, exchange account, yahoo messenger, pingchat on background ), drop about 30% in around 15 hours.

just sharing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alex4659:
WTF

My phone keeps rebooting every minute or so...!

Im using baseband 58 on an xperia x10i

i also cant flash my x10i back to 52 bb... it just says ERROR - error loading files

Im using the all in one flash tool.

thanks,

Alex
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Right woke up this morning after applying Dooms fix that i tested and sorry to say my battery has drained nearly to empty as it has been on constant reboot.

Why then has the amss flash worked then somehow reverted back to rebooting? Seems the only way to stop it is with the older miniloader as i have just flashed that and the reboots stopped.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
This doesnt work for now
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Still no wlod or random reboots apart from battery low ones :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Mayne the only difference is that i use the loader also from 435FW and you from bb52? I think that's the only difference between our two bundles.

Cheers,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Hey buddy

I will try your method later then, the only thing I do know is If do not see the Goroh booting custum kernel at boot the phone will start randoming.

Kinda stupid question: Is it possible that this CM version is the first one to toggle between 2G and 3G directly from energy control in notification bar without sending you just to the wireless menu? Or is this a feature introduced with android 2.3.4? Never seen this before anyway.

x10i J20a K009

Pulled my phone out of my pocket, and the torch is on for some strange reason... Screen is totally unresponsive (black and does not respond to power or hardware buttons, although power seems to turn on backlight)... I have to pull the battery out to restart.

After restart, all my widgets are saying "problem loading widget" and have to be added to my home screen again...

Sorry, no log :(

Bug report :

Each time than the battery is <25% the phone reboots if I don't remove the OC.

Keep up the good work :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jan2jan:
hi,

I have the same problem.

For example I install the tapatalk widget, after a reboot the widget is gone.

Cu

PS when walking through screens on certain moment the disappeared widget was back. A little spooky.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] O_K:
I can't see why it should as long as the phone is stable when batt is full. The UV only thells the voltage regulator to supply lower voltage to the processor, but the regulator still REGULATES the voltage. That means that if the CPU origninally should have 3V, and we undervolt it to 2.95V, the CPU will get 2.95V all the time, even if the battery voltage drops.

When we get to the critical limit, empty battery, the regulator will off cause not be able to supply the 2.95V we ask it to, but at that point it would not be able to supply 3V either.

The point I am trying to make is; CPU should get the same voltage if battery is 10 or 100%, so the undervolt should make the phone unstable all the time if it was the problem.

On the other hand, if we had to overvolt (to get stable performance when overclocking), it might be the case that the voltage regulator did not get enough juice on input terminals to give requested output when batt was low, on undervolting no such issu would be present.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
I have an idea,

For people who are struggling to get this working, is not possible for someone who has it working to create and recovery backup without any account info or paid apps in it and then for them to share it with the people like me who cant get this working for love nor money ??

that way the only thing people would need to do is flash the baseband, if the backup didnt work then we would know that the baseband is not flashing properly.

This is only and idea, and it would mean someone creating a back up of their rom with nothing installed or account info in I just wondered if it was possible ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
i can do that if you want , but is with my account and apps wich im shure you can delete after and replace with youre own acount and app.....

dont worry i dont care about my account and password , i dont have nothing on it anyway, is only because i needed an account to use the phone :D

but only if everybody is ok with me doing that.......

P.S. Idont have reboots or WLODS .......ETC. Only the known bugs.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync Settings -> Manage Accounts -> click on ur email ID -> remove account

that should do it...

(though it will be better if u wipe cache/dalvik-cache & data partition too, to remove personal info if any, before posting ur nandroid backup)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
OK ill do it.......but the question is how can i upload it here?

sorry , never donne that :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
If u want a smaller file size to upload... U can just compress it with 7zip (ultra high compression mode)

Then post the files to Mediafire.com

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
That would be great if you wouldnt mind,

you could drop box it or post it on here life saver
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
i think ill do a full install ,test it, and then upload it on mediafire..........

that way is just the rom ,no apps ,no account ,no data.....:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
how do you post it here?..........:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bazji:
Damn. Woke up this morning to the dreaded reboots again. I have no idea why this is happening as when I flashed back yesterday I had no reboots and my battery was low when I flashed as stated in an earlier post.

My battery is at 25% and I've flashed the fix files again and now I have no reboots at all.

My battery must have really drained through the night however to cause the reboots. As when I went to bed the battery had 80%

Cheers

Barry.

When you have created the file click on the paperclip as you type your reply its at the top of the message box, it will open another window which will let you find the file on your pc and upload it and post

or post it somewhere else and just provide the link ?

wont work... large file size....

just upload it to some file sharing site and post the final link here

I'd also offer to share my backup if needed. No fc, no wlod and no reboot in 2 days of medium to heavy usage.

For those with heavy battery drain: how much of the battery is eaten from cell-standby? (Settings-applications-battery usage)

For me see attached screenshots. Seems gsm is draining the battery quite fast.

another way to send you the files superfast is if you have a yahoo account wich has instant file send function.

I think Doomlord has misunderstood me somewhere over a pm this morning, my situation is that i tried the fresh install and flashing just the amss out of the base band last night and all was well, no reboots so thought we had found the solution, went to bed with a full battery, woke up this morning my battery nearly empty and the phone had been rebooting all night.

I did the fix of the older miniloader/splboot and all is well, i have never had issues with my phone rebooting when my battery gets low, i posted my battery stats yesterday morning, you will see in my chart my battery life is excellant.;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shedrule:
Been using since release no problems at all even when bat is less than15% weird. :+8
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
@superleeds27

YES with OC/UV ..NO without OC/UV

Yesterday i went below 20% and it was working normal

Anyway i charge the phone every night all night so the battery does not fall bellow 10% only if i play or i use it more than usual.

Cheers

Max
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey smartgardens thanks for clearing that up.... too bad it didnt work...

oh well it was worth a shot... really cant think of anything else cause the problem is not reproducible on my end, my phone has no problems of "device rebooting when screen is off" if i use the files provided by J...

so cant really figure out wht is going wrong...

also for those who are having issues with reboots when battery drops below 30%... try this...

let the battery discharge completely... power off device... remove battery (for a minute or so)... now reinstall battery... DO NOT POWER ON the device... just directly connect charger... so the "offline-charging" will start... so no custom kernel will be executed and atleast u can get ur device fully charged...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maximus223:
i flashed the baseband using latest flashtool ,created bundle from J's baseband folder
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
I can only assume that my phone is having issues taking the baseband

it doesnt matter what i do i get wlod, i have tried all fixes and tried someone else back up and still no joy

i cant use j's bat file to flash bb as my laptop keep erroring it so i am stuck looks like i will never get this on my phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Doomlord, do not worry my friend, making a quick fix each time is no big issue, i have and others have only got to change the miniloader/splboot, these things happen, we have tried everything for 2 weeks now, maybe it will sort its self out in future releases.

Thanks for your help buddy.:)
