Hi all I'm having a problem with my phone randomly going into airplane mode (or sometimes it just reboots itself). When it goes to airplane nothing will turn it off except a battery pull. I'm running the EA11 leak, ea11 voodoo, PnP and the midnight blue steel theme. i saw a couple of posts in other phone type forums but didnt see any that gave a cause. I was just wondering if this is a known android os prob or if i changed a setting somewhere that might be causing this or whatever. It doesnt do it often, i upgraded the day after the ea11 leak was posted on here and its done it maybe 3-4 times in that period.
btw love the job yall r doing with these mods Kodos and Thanx

I had mine get stuck in airplane mode (the settings showed disabled, but it was enabled) but a reboot or battery pull wouldn't fix mine (not even a flash back to PNP), I had to end up going back to odin 2.2 and clean install of PNP and theme.
I had the same thing happen. I had to reflash 2.2. I never had a problem until I installed that same theme.
I just went with voodoo and no PnP and am not haveing any problems. I think there might be something in the theme conflicting with the ROM. Then again I'm not that knowledgeable about all this stuff either.
I had the air plane mode issue after applying a theme. Reflashing the the theme fixed it though.

I had the same issue. phone was stuck in airplane mode. my phone didn't have any of its info either. No phone number no PRL no MEID nothing like that. I just loaded a backup that I had and all was well. Have no idea if itis kernal rom or theme, but it doesn't really matter because when you are running unofficial cutting edge mods this stuff will happen. I was a little worried when it happened, tho! Ha not gonna lie. But I do expect things like this to happen. As long as you make proper backups and are willing to go back to stock, I think its fun to do this stuff to this phone. I personally don't mind when something doesn't work right cuz its a challenge to figure out what's wrong and a learning experience. That being said I have no idea why the phone stuck itself in airplane mode.
I don't know why either, but I believe (just a guess really) that it must be a glitch in the EA11s radio. I know it isn't the theme as it has happened in each I've had including the stock. My house is at the edge of cellular coverage so I often lose signal here and it seems to happen when it goes without sig for awhile. Not positive as I haven't actually seen it do it.
I agree with you ilove tweeking this thing with cutting edge stuff and am willing to suffer the occasional WTF moment I was just wanting to make sure it wasn't a carbon based user interface error LOL

yeah im at the edge, and my phone is bleeding. LOL oh well sometimes just like my laptop or my truck i seem to have the most fun when things dont quite go according to plan. just think how boring life would be if things didnt go OOPS
Just got it back!!
Mine went into Airplane mode today and after 4 battery pulls and getting rid of the Home Screen I had installed it finally came out. Just as above it said it wasn't in AM but it wouldn't let me do jack via phone or web. I don't think this is just an EA11 issue as it did the same thing with 2.1. Either way, God is GOOD!!!!
Mine did this several weeks ago. I'm on 2.2, voodoo, p n p, no theme. Reboot into recovery and just restart fixed it. Battery pull did not.

let me ask yall a question when your phone went into AM had you been somewhere that had little or no signal cuz where i live my house is in a deadspot that only gets tower sig when propagation allows. I have WiFi here but had it set to shut off when screen went dark and after an indeterminent amount of time AM kicks in, but in town where i get full sig it never seems to happen.
Experienced this last night. I believe its something to do with gogle maps, gps or wifi. After disabling via holdin power button n rebooting about 5 times n failed I did a battery pull and solved it. Voodoo kernal was my last change as far as flashing goes. Running 2.2 stock.

Same thing here. Go into recovery and wipe cache will fix every time. Something else I got my lady one too and hers is stock her signal strength is wayyyy better than mine idk but I hate to go back to 2.1

I haven't had this happen to me since EB16, try just using odin to go back to stock EB16 then do pick and pack and theme if you wish - I haven't had it go into Airplane mode a single time without me setting it to.
Flashing isn't perfect, typically an odin reflash will fix problems.
I'm on ea11 can't seem to get eb16 to work lol and im not new to this at all.

Mine did it again yesterday. Have eb16, PnP, and voodoo. Phone was in holder and just rebooted and stuck in airplane mode. Pulled battery for about three minutes and it fixed it.
Could there be something in these leaked versions causing this that could be corrected when the official 2.2 and source code are released?

Happened to me today for first time
This happened to me today for the first time. I'm on stock EB16 with the voodoo kernel (no themes). Restarting a couple of times didn't help. Finally pulled the battery and after restarting, every thing was back to normal. In general, it seems if I don't reboot the phone at least every day or two random glitches seem to start happening (usually wifi not working correctly). I have no idea what causes the problems.
Mine did it once Sunday and twice yesterday(Monday). 3 times in less then 36 hours. It's getting very annoying and I'm contemplating going back to 2.1 bcause of this. Be nice if USC would hurry up with the official release and source code.

Have you tried doing an odin back to EB16 and reflashing pick and pack/theme?
As I stated before, I have run into this issue in the past and after I did a clean install it hasn't happened since.
Just got my thunderbolt a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to root just yet. Too many days at work.
I had a bad problem with resetting on my EVO... I'd like to make sure this doesn't turn into round 2.
Its been sluggish on and off all day. Lagging through my texts messages while I am tethered to my laptop on LTE. It reset on me eariler while I was tethered. Did I overheat this thing?
Any input? Or where to look/start troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Sounds weird. I haven't had any problems with mine.
Maybe a defective device? I have no idea.

Hmm another odd thing it does, is during a phone call the top part of the screen around the status bar kind of gets a greenish tint during the phone call if the person I am talking to doesn't have a picture. Is that the updated sense doing that? My Evo never did it. I'm gonna try and stress it again... I couldn't get it to swype properly, it would end the word before the I finished swyping it.
I hope I don't have a defective device

Might have to. Kinda wish I would have bought instore now. I'd imagine that would make potential swapping much easier!
This phone is awesome. I personally dont like waiting for devs to finish ROm/Kernals so i will be trying to bulid my own. Verizon / HTC have so many bloated items in this phone its unreal. Just debloating the phone makes it run faster via quadrant, overclocking it to around 1.4 to 1.5 is the most economical and i beleive most are able to do it with the required stock voltage (minues a little) and i get about 2200 on my 1.4ghz Senseless Virus ROM. Anyhow. The only thingthat gets to me is the lack of installed apps. Otherwise its freaking fast.
me and 9 other co-workers all got the thunderbolt the day it came out. two of us had horrific battery life and some lagging issues as well. i just wiped data and cache and seemed to fix it right up. you can give that a go or just root it and play around with all the kernels!!!!!!!! lol i can't go more than a few hours without flashing a new kernel...so addicting!!!!
Even before I rooted and debloated mine I never had even the slightest lag. I would recommend trying to get it exchanged. It shouldn't lag at all unless you have some kind of huge app constantly sucking CPU and RAM in the background.

Yea, I am getting force closes in the stock default text message app. Only apps I have installed are dolphin browser mini, swype, tweetdeck.
While in my 4g area yesterday during tether I had a few periods where the 4g would connect on and off for a few minutes before it solidified itself..
Do I have a dud? Or should I root it and see if these problems continue? Since I bought it from Letstalk.com, Would they even let me exchange it at a Verizon store?
Sounds like a dud. Just take a trip to Verizon and see what try can do.

I've had my G2X for about a month, and have been experiencing the common issue where my phone randomly shuts off and the only way to get it to turn back on is to pull the battery.
I've installed the GB update, that didn't fix it. Factory reset didn't help either.
Has anyone successfully fixed this issue on their phone? If so, what'd you do? Is there any chance that rooting my phone would correct the problem?
Sorry if there was a post about this, I couldn't find anything talking about if anyone's been able to fix the problem.
Thanks
yes... the onlyhh way to fix the problem is to root! nvflash clock work mod recovery, then flash eagle blood 2.3.3 rom and it is perfect...
Thanks, this did indeed seems to do the trick. Not a single reboot so far after 2.5 days.

My G2X actually restarted on its own today. It was the first time since the first few days I had the phone over a month-month and a half ago. Wasn't really a big deal, lol. It comes back on.
Have been playing with this phone for 3 days now and haven't had any issues (I did install xboarder's stock rooted version). Minor screen bleed is the only issue.

Finally, someone (dmaniscool) who can say they switched to an xda dev'ed ROM and got rid of the lock ups. I've posted many times asking if anybody ACTUALLY FIXED a problem (specifically the battery pull lock up); I got no responses, and someone finally stated it. Great. Next time my wife's G2x locks up, I'm rooting and putting a ROM on it.
Thank you dmaniscool

so, PLEASE dmaniscool, occasionally update this thread with your lack of lock-ups, or if you get a lock-up. PLEASE!!!

Will do, so far so good! I had no experience with rooting, and was able to figure it out looking at the guides available on the forum. It kind of looks intimidating, but it's not actually very difficult.
By restart does everyone mean just shuts down? Mine never restarts, it will just shut off.

Mine did both actually, shut down and restarts. But mostly just shut downs, which required a battery pull to power back on.
My 2 will do both - but I think the "shut-off" is a lock up, because the longer I leave it locked up, the less battery I'll have after I do a battery pull.
8 days of both phones not locking up by doing one restart per day per phone.
Since I raised the minimum CPU speed to 389 from 216, I have far fewer sleeps of death
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I've tried every ROM and kernel combination possible and nothing actually fixes these problems for me.
Wow this post was scary at first, I had a thunderbolt and no matter what. RUU, Different ROMS, Stock, Kernels, Radios. Changing all that didn't matter it still turns off constantly and doesn't turn back on till I do it meaning no text or calls, basically same as having a phone on silent all the time without even having the luck chance of pulling it out while ringing.....
I am on miui x.26 (whatever kernal that comes with it) and have over 40 hours of uptime. I haven't had a crash yet, I just manually restart every couple of days because I'm weird like that.
Sent from my LG-P999
Well 6 days into it and I've had a total of 2 shutdowns. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but both times were after being outside when it was ~90 degrees out.
This is still much improved, I used to get 3-4 per day on average.
I'm using Eaglesblood 2.3.3. I'm thinking of trying MIUI because it's so nice looking.
For me I did a battery replacement the first time directly from T-Mobile and the phone continued restarting on me. I was just about to request a replacement phone from T-Mobile until I recently purchased a different brand of battery containing the same specs as the stock battery and to my surprise no overheating and definitely no restarts. I feel that the restarts and lockups are due to faulty batteries shipped out with the phones. I'm suprised no one has mentioned this.

Wow, I told the CostCo kiosk girl I was having lock up problems and I had my grandkids with me. She took my phone and pulled the battery - at the same time my grandson stated he had to go to the bathroom NOW. She either looked at the battery or something on the phone under the battery. I didn't have time to ask. She didn't really comment and gave me my phone back.
Hmmmmmm........

ok so do they know what exactly is causing the shut downs or reboot on this phone? i just got mine today and it was pre installed with gingerbread and idk if there is root for the gingerbread build yet. i just want root but no custom rom for me. i love the stock rom. it kicked the crap out of my sensation 4g as far as speed goes in everyday use.
Ok I have been reading some but cant find all that I need. I live in VA and right now the city I live in has no 4g it will soon I hope but I know what soon means to VZW because I had the fassy before. But anyways I went in and turned it on to cdma only for right now so it wouldn’t be always looking for 4g I hope that is the right thing to do. But even before I did that I keep dropping from 3g to nothing to 1x to nothing then back to 3g. The bars never change and it is at places I have full bars. It killing me because I use Pandora all the time and it will go about 2 songs then drop and I have to wait like 10 mins for it to work its self around to start playing again. I was only stock for one day but couldn’t take it anymore so I used odin and flashed gummycharge 1.9.1. I love the rom but the dropping data is killing me. Do any of yall know anything to do for this or do I need to call VZW about it and if I do should I flash back to stock before I call or what. My wife has a charge and its all stock she wont let me touch it and she hasn’t said anything about dropping data. Is this a phone problem or is it a sim card problem?
This is a common issue with no known workaround. Sorry.

It's all over a LOT of forums out there. Flashing gummycharged has helped immensely for me, but YMMV.
You may believe it's the placebo effect, but straight up, its been a night and day difference. I'm a firm believe in the fact that it's software related and Verizon needs to get it fixed, and fast.
Their "resolution" for me was to send me a refurb phone, I told them to sit and spin cause I've been down that route before and it aint gonna happen again.
Yea I might flash back to stock tonight and see how it goes and if it keeps doing it I will see if a new sim card will help.

Ok so get this last night after I dropped data for like the 100th time I got pissed I started opening all my apps as fast as I could. I was turning on data turning it right back off turning on WiFi turning it off like as fast as I could. well my phone went all to hell locked up tighter then a nun. But then it did so crazy stuff and the pull down menu thing was showing but I couldn't turn on or off anything like data or GPS. but I could hold in the power button and it would let me restart and stuff so I restarted it. on boot up it could not find my sim card so I was thinking great I f'ed it up well it made me restart again on this boot up it found my sim card. now with heavy Pandora uses I have yet to drop data. So in other words I kicked my phones ass and now it knows I'm the boss lol.

Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.
What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?
Need for specific info

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.
I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7
Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

No, thought never occurred to me that I should look at this as a solution.

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).
are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.
