[Omnia 7 General] BombeXIII:
I have the same problem. I just have a new Omnia 7 from repair, and the new one already rebbot 3 times since yesterday!

Any idea why?
[Omnia 7 General] tdt321985:
Is your omnia 7 warm? If it's warm, you must to change your CPU, your cpu is overheat.

Problem will go away. It costs about $75.
[Omnia 7 General] peteski22:
I suffer reboots

I suffer from the rebooting problem, sometimes randomly reboots when accessing data (3G also). Well, I believe this is when it happens as it happens a lot!

There have been occasions where the phone gets stuck rebooting and sits with the Samsung Omnia 7 splash screen for ages before powering down; or reboots in a loop.

I tried updating the bootloader with Samsungs tool (after putting the phone in download mode), I've since tried flashing different ROMs and non of them have fixed it.

Currently using:

Phone: I8700XXKB3

PDA:I8700XXKB2

CSC:I8700XENJK1

OS Version 7392

It's so frustrating, it's been to a Samsung 'repair centre' but they just seemed to factory reset it and claimed it was fixed. Next step is send it back to Samsung and hope they fix or replace it for me.

VERY annoying as I cannot use the phone at times when I'm out which is worrying.
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
I was listening to music, browsing facebook and doing several thing at once with case cover on; then i took off phone from cover and it was very hot, so i supposed it was a over heat problem...

it just happened once for me
[Omnia 7 General] fishfingers:
I tested this with the SIM in my phone and the SIM out of my phone. It made no difference - I received random restarts in both cases.

It's definitely software related though, as I never received these crashes before upgrading to Mango RTM. Not saying it is Mango, but maybe something to do with the firmware installed in the process of upgrading?

I am really hoping that the official Samsung upgrade to Mango includes new firmware and that it fixes the issue. If not I'm getting rid of this phone, I don't want a phone with features I can't even use. I got a full phone crash the other day when just trying to view a map.
[Omnia 7 General] Fjtorsol:
I have it also it only happens when I search websites with the Bing search button. I search websites that I already know that exist and even trough the phone is connected (most of time via Wifi) it shows no results and then restarts. I think any ROM replacement will fix it as I have tried them all without success.

Definetly the issue has something to do with Bing services
[Omnia 7 General] TiT-_:
Hi I had some random reboots but just a few ones like maybe 3 or 4 in 6 months but since I installed Mango beta, it starts to reboot randomly like you on IE or marketplace but removing the battery a few minutes used to fix this.

I thought it was firmware problem so I flashed it with a lot of different firmwares ( now i have KC1 ) but It didn't solve the problem even worst, now my Omnia 7 is stuck in a boot loop.

I suceeded to make it work for a few hours playing games or using bing maps after puting the phone in the fridge for a few minutes. Now the phone wont charge because of bootlooping so even the "fridge fix" doesn't work. Maybe I will try to change the battery but here in france it's really hard to find Omnia 7 stuffs. Maybe its firmware problem because my phone dont look so hot but it acts like overheat problem. Maybe trying to calibrate the temperature sensor by diagnosis if someone knows how to. I'm ok to try it =)

If someone can give us the normal temperature of their omnia 7 maybe we can compare and try to find the solution.

Thanks for reading my bad english ! =D
[Omnia 7 General] Spookidoodles:
Bad times! I haven't had anything of the sort on my Omnia 7, on NoDO or Mango RTM..I'd say its probably hardware. The support are really helpful (provided you are in a location which has access to service centres ect.)
[Omnia 7 General] Shalzar:
I only had an issue once after i flashed my Omnia 7 with Mango, it was while i was browsing the marketplace while it was on charge, it restarted twice in a row and then its been fine since :S
[Omnia 7 General] AleHop72:
My Omnia 7 gets pretty warm sometimes when I play games plugged in and I have never had any problem. Every now and then an application exits by itself to the tiles screen but it doesn't happen very often and I normaly blame the application as it happens with some of them sometimes and others always work flawlessly.
[Omnia 7 General] Spookidoodles:
A week on from my post up there ^ and today I experienced one of these random crashes!

I was walking along, listening to some Music when I accidently touched a Zune Pass track when I havent reassigned Zune to my phone yet. The screen went dim and came up with an error about being unable to verify my Zune Pass - I tried pressing the ok button on this error, and pressing the back and home buttons - nothing happened. 2 seconds later the Omnia 7 boot screen was there and the phone rebooted.

Tried to make it do it again, and it wouldn't. Personally I put this all down to the RTM build and outdated drivers.
[Omnia 7 General] Kash511:
Worst phone I've ever had!!!

The Omnia 7 is easily the worst phone I've ever had...and boy have I had some stinkers. It all started about 7 months ago. As I do every night, I put my phone on charge, waking up the next morning I see a "Download mode - this process takes 10 mins". As instructed I waited 10 mins...then an hour and then an hour and a half - I had to bite the bullet and reset it by taking the battery out. Since then, my phone hasn't been the same....battery life has always been shocking, I've never seen my battery show over 8 hours with 100% charge and battery saver on!!! my phone reboots a hell of a lot, the compass gave up working with the Mango update...these 3 issues have been bearable, I still have a fully functional phone I just had to make do with a phone that needed more attention then it should have needed.

The latest issue however is beyond belief - the speaker or sound drivers have completely given up, I was watching a youtube vid a couple of days ago about the snake 97 game and it just went, I assumed a simple reset would fix it but nothing. I restored it back to 7740 via Zune and nothing, I'm back on 8107 now and guess what...still nothing. I emailed Samsung and I'm hoping they send me replacement, problem is, I got this from Ebay so I don't how the warranty will work. I hate this phone beyond belief. I've been very loyal to Windows Phone but this phone has tested my commitment - to think, I declined an upgrade for a Galaxy S2 for £20 a month (last year) in favour for this pile of trash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
How much did you pay for your phone? And was it on or off contract?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
$178.99 off contract thru premier store. No commitment. No contract extension. However there was a flaw in their system that they have since fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
Wow. Lucky!
[HTC Inspire 4G] freekquency:
Off what?

Isnt there 3 of these threads now?

99.

-50 recycle rebate at RS

$49 dollars
[HTC Inspire 4G] yellowdragon:
I paid $79 with contract

BUT I am grandfathered on a very old unlimited data plan plus 200 SMS for $35.

Also I'm happy with AT&T so why not? :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
128.99 with contract extension from wal-mart. It was only 99.99 at ATT, but they didn't have any in stock and I wanted one right then :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
$80 on contract at Costco.

[HTC Inspire 4G] onesojourner:
My buddy just picked one up for free with a contract extension. The guy at att said he was a good customer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
$99 on contract (best buy)

[HTC Inspire 4G] florelui001p:
130 out of pocket in total 380 (sold my captivate on craiglist for 250)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Askal007:
$90 after taxes but before the $18 upgrade fee from Costco. Includes an accessories bag, which has a belt case, crappy headphones and a working car charger which I was very happy about. This is on contract by the way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
69.99 Amazon with contract.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wuufer001:
I want eligible for upgrade, att gave me $249 but added few of accessories and bluetooth. Phone came to $179. I check best buy, best they could was sell me retail.

Note that another att store i went to say $299 for my situation. 2nd att store is $249 befire the extra acc i bought the same time. Didnt hesitate. Although my next upgrade date is 2 years from now. And i still kept the unlimited data plan.

Not bad of a deal afterall, considering that i shelled out $700 for the touch pro wgen it first came out (dumb move)
[HTC Inspire 4G] carhigh:
I paid 299 each for them with early upgrades on non data lines, but had them add the phones to the 2 data lines. My kids dont need data on thier lines.

I feel the phone is worth it and i have been waiting a long time for att to get something like this in. Im not sure if im going to keep using the inspire or the dell, yet. But my wife feels better now that she has a real replacement to the EDGE only hd2 she had before the crapdivate she just replaced.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
$70 on contract with amazon and new contract but convinced ATT to give me a statement credit because my last phone's screen died three days ago after 10 months, so it was free :)

...except for the upgrade fee
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
I might just have to get one off Craigslist but its like 400 bucks.

[HTC Inspire 4G] vafifty4:
Got mine for free with make/model exchange after 2 faulty captivates and 2 hours on the phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] denco7:
$49.99 from AT$T , off contract but with a new commitment. It was a knife in my side to " re-up " with AT$T because they suck so bad.

Would have gone to T-mobile, but really wanted this phone. Here's hoping that AT$T bites the dust now that their cash cow ( iPhone ) has been spread a little thinner.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
What is off contract but with new commitment?
[HTC Inspire 4G] denco7:
That means that my 2 year contract from my Tilt ended and I was free to take my number to another carrier with no early termination fees to AT$T.

After 18 months AT$T will allow you to upgrade your phone at a discounted price if you sign a new 2 year contract. But you cannot go to another carrier until your contract is up.

I had to sign another 2 year contract, so AT$T will easily make up the cost of the phone by taking everything I own and my first born child in outrageous service/data plans and obnoxious fees. There is a reason they are at the bottom of every customer satisfaction survey. They work hard to be there
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
I've done that before but now I have the warranty from Best Buy

Sent from my Captivate using CM7
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
Got mine for free, and I just love it when ATT trys to get me to pick up a current data package. I have the " extremely old " 20$ Month Unlimited Text/Data grandfathered over from when I had a frist gen Razer :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I paid $49.99 for mine, ($99.99 minus my $50 loyalty discount), which was too good to pass up. We've been with Ma Bell for 14 years, and have always been satisfied, so we had no reason to look elsewhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
49 from Costco. No activation fee.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
49 from ATT corporate store with free 34 case and a 30% discount applied to my monthly bill.

Nothing. Won it in a raffle an an accessory convention my job made me go to.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feny_lf:
I9000 moves the shared preferences to /dbdata/databases/[PACKAGE_NAME]/shared_prefs/[PACKAGE_NAME]_preferences.xml

For other mainstream devices, shared preferences are in /data/data/[ PACKAGE_NAME]/shared_prefs/[PACKAGE_NAME]_ preferences.xml

Everytime, when I uninstalled the application (my own or some other 3rd party's) in i9000, I found that the shared preferences won't be removed. It still exists in /dbdata/databases/...

this will lead to some serious problem: for example, I'm developing some app, and changing the shared perferences structure. when I debuged it (reinstalling, reinstalling the apps, finally I found my shared preference cannot save my configuration. everytime rebooting i9000, the configuration will be reset to the default value. When I change the configuration in UI and then look into the shard_pref xml, it never changes. The root cause is the existing xml is the old one. maybe UID even mismatched.

Is there any patch from Samsung to uninstall the apps completely? :confused:

we need remove not only the ones in /data/data but also the ones in /dbdata/databases/.

... Samsung, why do those vendors customize the phone so much?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feny_lf:
no comments?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
Interesting.

I have never heard of that (or a patch for that) before. But if I think about it... I am no unix expert but shouldn't you be able to mount /dbdata/databases/ into /data/data/ ? As long as the deinstallation routine has not been changed this could work^^

Edit:

Oh dear, I took a look, you're right thats really strange. I thought everything was relocated by samsung. It's not. My statement above is useless:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiwiPouPou:
Yes it's the sammy's "lagfix" since 2.2.1.

Uninstall apps with Titanium, it clears everything ! That's the only way i find (apart manual method...)

Can you give a symbolic link?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Same reason as users customize their phones .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feny_lf:
Sammy's lagfix? Do you mean there's no problem prior to 2.2.1?

My i9000 is 2.2.1 now, I don't have chance to check the previous versions....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoMJ:
This is a serious bug.

I have encountered this too and it makes the SharedPreferences completely useless.

Uninstalling and the re-installing an app will cause the app to never be able to change preferences again!

Is there a workaround for this that we can code in our apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edyim:
I also experience this problem. Is there really no fix to this. Its damn irritating when I'm developing my app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark3n:
I have recently found out about this too.

I started an app to deal with this:

Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel. You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
thanks for sharing

so far ive flashed with no issues and everything is running snappy im on 1504 using smartass governer

everyone please be sure to join #xoom on freenode for future updates

[Xoom Android Development] robocellkid:
How do you flash the kernel with no SD support? Looks really cool and I want it! Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Flashing Instructions

1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:

adb reboot bootloader

2. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

3. Push the bcm4329.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot to re-enable wifi:

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko

adb reboot

[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm so glad to see that this stuff is happening before I even have a XOOM in my hands! Amazing work!

I have a question about the scaling.

If I wanted my processor to only run at 1.5 when it needs to, which governor should I use? On my OG Droid I use Ondemand, and it seems to do exactly that (Correct me if I'm wrong) and the battery life is amazing. I'm assuming that's the setting I would use here, too.

What exactly does the Smartass governor do?
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
which of the boot images in the Kernel folder does one flash?
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
U flash the one titled boot and the other 2 files are pushed to the modules folder see my post a few posts up for instructions
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
In the Kernel folder, I have 5 different files there???
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
What are they titled?
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
dump_image, mkbootimg, mkbootimg.sh, unpackbootimg and zImage???
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
looks like you downloaded the .zip installer file for clockwork recovery. I did the same thing, the link for the actual boot.img appears to be down. I looked at the script for the .zip and it appears that he is using the AnyKernel updated by Koush in the .zip, so the actual kernel is made by the .zip. We need a download to the actual boot.img before we can flash anything, and the link appears to be down...unless i am very mistaken.;)
[Xoom Android Development] Cayniarb:
Glad to get this kernel out to people for the Xoom and to have Bigrushdog taking up maintaining it. Check out the other Tiamat kernels for the Incredible and the Evo. Links in the signature.

[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
Do we have to use setcpu to change the speed?
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
Yes to set scaling frequencies you have to use SetCPU or droid overclock.
[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
What's the best method to set it and forget it
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
I like droid overclock the most, i would change scaling frequency to 1504 and use it for a while before you set it at boot.

[Xoom Android Development] shakuyi:
does the kernel have to be overclocked? can we just get one that is stock? i dont feel like my xoom needs to be any faster unless i want it to take me to the moon
[Xoom Android Development] bjarnia:
I don't know how the kernel behaves without setcpu, but you can just get setcpu and set the kernel to 1 ghz = no overclock.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
No, it doesn't need to be the Motorolla OTG cable. If it worked previously it should work again I'd imagine. Sorry, as I say I don't have a cable yet so can't really help.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
If you don't use SetCPU it will run along at 1Ghz and you just then get all of the other nice features of the kernel. You don't have to OC.
