Hi guys!

I'm so sorry to begin my adventure in this forum with a request, but that's it! I'm sorry, I'm desperate...

Instead to say what I did and what I tryied, is easyer to say which is the actual condition of the phone:

- "black" screen (no light at all, but something in the screen is viewable)

- Power on in normal way: empty battery with a triangle whit an exclamation point inside. Not recognized by the PC

- Power on in recovery mode: triple vibration and big triangle with a little andorid. Recognized by PC

- Power on with VolUP-Camera-POWER: triple vibration and black screen. Recognized by PC.

I've tried to flash with the original ROM: 99% complete than it go back and restart from 75% for 3 or 4 times and, at the end,it says "Error - try it again"

I've tried to flash with a cooked ROM with Acer TOOLs 3.1 and 3.7: it says ERROR: FASTBOOT FAILED. I've noticed it takes a long time whan it tries to flash the recover.img...

Any idea???
[Liquid S100 General] raskell:
I'd suggest you install the Acer Drivers and download the Android Dveelopers SDK then use adb to flash Malez's recovery image. By now Maelz probably even has a recovery flasher that doesn't need adb (it's in his package).

Then boot to recovery and apply a rom as a zip file from the SD card using Recovery tools. This should get you going again.
[Liquid S100 General] romolito:
Thanks for the suggestion but to install the Malez Recovery I need to activate the "debug" option and, actually, I can't... :-(

Another option is to use Fastboot, but it does not find any device plugged-in...

Any other suggestion???

I'm really desperate!

you have to re-install adeo... download the full rom not the update... reinstall it and it will be fixed. i think its a problem with istalligh the gingerbread status and then going back to stock

EDIT X3 Here is a definite fix for the TWS bug

BIG THANKS to mkasick for his hard work!!!! This fix has been incorporated into the latest bonsai ROM and will be included in the next Syndicate Rom. Thanks Devs!

Link to TWS bug fix/patch

I know the TWS (time without signal) bug is a known issue with this phone. It was present in di18 and is still here is eb13. However, it seems that some people have the bug, and some people do not have the bug after updating to eb13. I have not seen a lot of talk over this issue, which to me, is a HUGE issue. If you are not aware you have it and do not take preliminary steps to correct it, your battery will be drained much faster than normal.

I have tried everything I can think of to solve this issue including re-flashing in Odin several times, factory resets, etc... I am aware of the airplane mode toggle and profile/PRL update work arounds, but I am wondering if there is a FIX for this yet. These work arounds do not stick for me after re-booting, and it is very frustrating.

I am curious to see who has the bug on eb13 and who does not. If you are not experiencing the TWS bug, please post your method of upgrading, current ROM, kernel, etc..

Thank you for your input!

Edit: Thanks rocket, I should have included this to begin with. To check if you have the TWS bug, first make sure you are in an area with good coverage then

1. Charge battery all the way up (not really necessary, but will create a standard for testing)

2. Unplug and then stay in the same location for several hours

3. Go to Menu> Settings> About Phone> Battery Use> Cell Standby

4 Tap on Cell Standby and look for the "Time without signal"

5. If this is a high value such as above 40% you have the bug. I typically see 50 - 51% if I do not airplane toggle. After the toggle, I have 0 - 2% in my house where I have full 3g/4g coverage

EDITX2: Possible fix for TWS bug, need others to try

If you are having the TWS bug, try opening task manager (long press home button) and go to task manager. Then click on RAM management and clear level 1+2 memory. This should reset your radio as well. Get back to the home screen by pressing home button, wait a few seconds and power off the device properly (press and hold power button, power off) DO NOT do a battery pull to turn it off. Once the phone has fully shut down (after you feel it vibrate) wait a few more seconds and power back on. This should correct the problem and I have not had the issue come back after re-boots (no need to airplane toggle anymore).

*Disclaimer* What works for me may not work for you. I have no idea if this is just a device specific fix, but if other people can try this then we can rule that out. Sometimes clearing the memory resets the radio, sometimes it doesn't. I have noticed if it does reset the radio, your TWS bug will be fixed. It should stay after re-boots.
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
bizzare. Ive never had this bug. On eclair or leak froyos or eb13.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Do not have the bug now, nor did I have it at any point

Current Setup: EB13, Bonsai ROM v3.0.0

Upgrade Method, Flashed back to stock DI18 from DK28 using Odin

Used SWupdate to install EB13

Installed CWM 3.0.0.6

Installed Bonsai ROM v3.0.0
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
I have the bug. I suspect people who say they don't have the bug don't reboot very often, out of sight out of mind type of thing. I could be wrong.

What I do know is after the PRL "fix" came out tons of people were saying "yay its fixed" then a few days/weeks later they reboot and find its still an issue.

I'm hopeful that because Sprint & Samsung pulled the update (Samsung just pulled it from their site today I think) they would be working on an incremental update which fixes a lot of these complaints. I don't have any inside information, but when other SGS phones have had their updates pulled it seems like new releases were dropping within 2-3 weeks to correct problems. Also, the Samsung rep who reads XDA has been sent a list of bugs compiled on this forum so hopefully they will be addressing them without adding more "fireworks" type bugs :)

Edit:

I wanted to contribute a bit more to this thread, so first off if you don't know how to tell if you have the TWS bug follow these steps:

Charge battery all the way up

Unplug and then stay in the same location for several hours

Go to Menu> Settings> About Phone> Battery Use> Cell Standby

Tap on Cell Standby and look for the "Time without signal"

If this is a high value such as >40% you either have very poor cell coverage, or you have the TWS bug. I work primarily in a basement so my TWS is about 10% normally, but goes up over 50% when the TWS bug is active.
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
The TWS bug seems to be endemic to multiple Samsung devices and as far as I can tell they have never admitted or officially recognized that the problem exists. It has effected my phone on DI18, DK28 and EB13. From what I have read it is caused by sloppy modem.bin coding.
[Epic 4G General] BigBrotherMotown:
I know FOR CERTAIN that I have this bug!!!!!

EVERY DAY I receive voicemail notifications from people when their ORIGINAL call NEVER CAME THROUGH....

I checked the stats one day and my phone had been unplugged for 16 hours.....during that time it logged that I was "without a signal" 50% of that time.

8 HOURS WITHOUT A SIGNAL......ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!!!!

(Looking for another carrier)

[Sprint is the Devil]

BTW

I had this bug in DI18 and I am currently running leaked DK28 with the same problems
[Epic 4G General] evsnova74:
I try to remember the airplane toggle mode trick whenever I reboot after swapping batteries and if I remember right away my TWS is 0% but without fail if I forget it's always around 50%. After I remember and toggle airplane mode it slowly lowers the % value as time passes. Running midnight4.1 right now, originally odin'd to eb13.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The PRL and profile updates fixes this. I had to reflash the ACS rom last night and forgot to update PRL and Profile. This is the result:

I just updates the PRL and profile. Then I rebooted the phone. I will update this post with a new image showing no TWS after an hour or so. I had TWS issues when on DI18 and on DK28. It is completely fixed in EB13.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Does not fix it for me. Has the same effect as toggling Airplane mode though. Reboot and it's back...
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
Thanks for the input, but as I stated, for me at least, updating the PRL does NOT stick after re-boots to fix the problem. If this does fix yours, wonderful, but for people like me this is not a solution, only a temporary work around.

The fact that there is such a wide variance among users is very concerning.
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
+1 this guy knows what I'm talkin bout!
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Add me to the list of "had it, have it, and PRL/Profile updates don't stick past reboot."

My favorite way to fix it is to use a free little app called network I got from the market. It's just a shortcut to a radio settings menu that I used to be able to get through a dialcode, but I like just clicking on the button.

What I see with the menu is that the phone appears to default to "WCDMA Preferred" which is a type of network that our phones cannot access. I switch it to "CDMA Preferred," and the TWS problem will then go away (until next reboot, of course). What would really be great is if changing this setting could get coded into the custom ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Not sure what's fixed it

OK so when I initially flashed to EB13 I had the bug (also had it in DI18, but not DK28). I got an airplane mode toggle widget and all that shiz to make it easier to deal with.

After a few changes to my phone it is now gone.

I noticed it went away after I put Twilight Zone kernel on my phone, performed a flash to ext4 version EB13 through Odin from here, then reflashed Twilight Zone kernel to be sure it was still intact. I also restored my data from a back up i performed why on rfs/CMW2.

Today I attempted to flash the full Frozen ROM and for the few minutes I had it on my phone I noticed that the bug was back. I reodined using the same method as before, restored data, and wallah its gone.

Furthermore, I saw on here moments ago that there was a firmware update for the camera. After I installed it I noticed it FCing on Sports Scene mode. To fix that I flashed Twilight Zone again and still do not seem to have the bug back.

Anyone else want to try and give it a shot to see if it fixes/changes things for you?

I cannot tell if it's related to the kernel, the switch to ext4, or some combination of those things. Allz I know is its been days and it's still gone.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
I definitely have this bug, and what "bugs" me is that I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why a bunch of my calls go straight to voicemail... this is a huge problem imho which hopefully will have a real fix soon. I downloaded the Network app but can't get the CDMA only mode to stick... "process.com.adroid.phone" crashes every time :mad: I guess I have to remember to toggle airplane mode after every reboot. This sux
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
It's happened to me a few times, but not very many. It hasn't happened since upgrading from DI18, but it hasn't happened in a long while before then as well.

The last time I knowingly had TWS, I noticed that:

Battery consumption due to "Cell standby" was not larger than normal.

The "Time on" value was twice that of the phone "up time". They should've been the same since I hadn't charged since powering on, and in no circumstance exceeded it. It may have (and probably should've) been twice the time "since unpluggged", but I don't recall.

Which lead me to think for a while that the TWS bug was merely a reporting bug. That is, if "time with signal" (which isn't reported) is half that of "total time" (as determined by a clock that's running 2x fast), then the phone will report being without a signal for 50% of the time.

But I haven't ran into the problem since to reliably establish the above as fact. It could be that there's multiple issues that result in the same symptom (~50% time without signal). Or I might've be mistaken entirely, since I was only able to check once.
[Epic 4G General] Krazy_P@:
Does the bug stay away after a reboot or 2? I also noticed that I thought I had this problem solved until one day I noticed my phone died after 6-8 hours into my 12 hour shift, and the reason I belive it is such a battery drain is that the phone doesn't sleep when it thinks it doesn't have a signal in addition 2 constantly scaning for prefered network. For sum reason it is set 2 wcdma by default when that's a gsm network. If anyone knows where that value is saved plz give me a heads up...

Sprint is absolutly no help as their "specialest" told me a task manager would fix this problem -rotflmfao!! after 3 techs and numorious "mistransfers" where I was hung up on I gave up hope that sprint highers compatant ppl..

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Isn't thidls bug just visual? I have it and it had no effect on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I agree. The "TWS bug" is just a reporting issue. It has no real effect on battery life. The percentage of battery used by the cell radio is the same regardless of what TWS reads.
[Epic 4G General] evsnova74:
This is what made me think that I probably had this with DI18 and even some of the DK28 roms I ran even though I didn't know how to check for it back then, I would always get voicemails and no record of a missed call in my call log. Very frustrating. So the battery life issue that may or may not be associated with this bug is of little consequence to me compared to not even getting calls due to lack of signal.

According to the Motorola Canada website my phone is still covered under warranty for another 2 months. However it obviously does not mean that it will be repaired/replaced. I am still waiting to hear from Motorola if I should send my phone in or not. However if things do not go the way I am hoping. I would sell the device as is for parts only. I will leave a comment on this thread depending on either way whatever I hear from Motorola.

If I do end up selling the device it will be as a whole unit, not broken down. There is a website I found that has parts for the a lot of phones. Here it is:
