I am rooted and cwm recovery flashed. I have had a few instances in the past few days where it would drop from 2-3 bars 4g to X no signal. Just now it does it every time I attempt to download anything. I have tried enabling and disabling airplane mode etc and it does not help. I access the market with a couple of bars of 4g and instantly it will drop to X when I attempt to download or search the market.Any one else have these issues? Does anyone know what might be a fix for them(I know send the device back and wait for SSGII.LOL)
Send it back and wait. Thats waaaaayyyyy more fun. Heck you might even get an update one day. Of course I doubt it.
But hey its a nice phone.

I had the same thing happen a few times today. I noticed it more while checking facebook
Have you tried a factory reset?
I am rooted with cwm as well and have no such issues.
I have the same problem as well.
Very frustrating.
Who here HAS RETURNED a rooted phone?
Should it be a non-issue?
rooted, factory reset here as well. i guess i should update my Info
Mine does this every now and then, even with the Obrien fix. It's happened on the first 2 G2x phones I had, and happens on the one I currently have as well :/

Well you should unroot it first, then return it LOL
I'm on my 3rd G2x, and the first 2 were rooted (as is this one). I just flashed stock recovery and did a factory reset, then unrooted through One Click.
I am totally new heree and not sure if this is the right place to post this. Please bear with me.
I updated my G2X when the Gingerbread version first came out. I just noticed that it still automatically rebooted itself twice last night while I was reading. The G2X was right nest to me and I heard the T-Mobile tone while it rebooted. Has anyone experienced this? I thought this update shall fix this bugging issue. I also notice the battery drains faster. Anyone knows how to root it after gingerbread update? Thanks.

Yup, go to the privacy menu and use the option.
The simple act of doing a reset does a lot for a smart phone.
I had an Iphone 3g where after 4.2.1 the solution to speed was to do 2 factory resets in a row.
Some people will return a laptop because they don't want to do a reboot.
------------After the reset, go to the marketplace and the first thing install the T-Mobile My Account app. The original version is problematic and can lead to buggieness

If you return a phone to Tmobile before doing a factory reset to see if it solves your problem then you simply don't value your time. A factory reset takes all but five minutes. If you call Tmobile you will have to wait for them to ship you a phone, and when it arrives it will be in "factory reset" condition anyway. If you go to a retailer and pick a replacement up, it too will be in the same condition. So if you are going to get a reset replacement, everyone would be wise to try a reset before rushing to Tmobile.
I had the same problems with GB after the update- I didnt do a factory reset though.
Moved to Eagles Blood and seems like a much more stable and cleaner rom- havent tested enough to see if it reboots or not though.
To root, flash clockwork mod recovery using nvflash and install a rooted rom. There's a rooted version of gb stock out there, or you could be adventurous and install one of the many custom ones we have.

Return your broken phone ASAP. Phones should not randomly turn off or reboot. It is broken. Do not try to fix a broken phone on your own. It will result in nothing but headaches. Take it back now!
Yeah my replacement phone still randomly dies, I'll come back in a few hours and have to do a battery pull. It doesn't reboot like the old one but it does die more.
Should I get the replacement replaced?

I ran Xboarders OTA GB with no tweaks since it came out. I then switched to EB 1.07 and had a ton of issues. I then returns to Xboarders OTA tweak and it was flawless. Now I am on to Weapon G2x.
Like I said, I really think a good scrub down and wipe, i.e. factory reset does wonders, at least folks should give it a try.
I absolutely agree that theres a good, actually great batch out there, I have NEVER had a single issue with my phone and its bone stock on 2.2.

so are you doing this in the store? or calling customer service?
So auto reboot issue is the only issue you people are facing in this mobile phone?
Returned phone . New works flawlessly. Tmo is aware of the issue. When u call you will talk first with an outsourced person. Get past them they will transfer u to tmo who will pretty much no questions asked process ur return

Purchase at eBay does not affect 1-year warranty.
Just got this phone a few weeks ago. Running all stock latest software and my camera consistently fails to start up and just goes to a "camera failed" error message. Most of the time if I clear data it loads but I think I have a faulty phone. I even did a factory wipe and the problem persisted. Anyone else have this problem with the skyrocket? If I cant fix this on my own soon ill have at&t send me a new one.
Thanks
get a new one. haven't heard of this issue before.
In one of the other threads about this it took formatting the sd cards
This has happened to me on a few Roms
In those cases I had to do a full wipe and reflash

It happened to me about a week ago. What I did to solve it was to go into settings/applications/manage apps then look for the camera apk and clear data/force stop. After that it went back to normal.

Definitely go back for a replacement if wiping SD card, stopping and wiping Camera data and resetting to factory setting doesn't work. I neglected to check the Camera when I picked up mine from Roger, first time using it thought root and CWM messed it up, so I flashed Bonestocketeer, managed to get it working for about 5 minutes with all of the above then failed again.

I pulled the camera.apk from a T989 ROM and pushed it to the skyrocket. So far, it has worked flawlessly.
Hope it helps
My phone's camera worked fine out of the box. Just noticed I'm having this problem also.
I installed / backed up with CWM and rooted my phone using this method:

Froze most of the AT&T bloatware with Titanium using suggestions here:

Somewhere between these two steps may be the culprit?
Besides being rooted, I'm running stock Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11, UCLA3 ROM. Luckily, I've only had the phone for about 10 days so I'll just have to swap for a new one if it persists after restoring and a factory reset..
Edit: Still not working after factory reset.
I started getting the error when I took the 2.3.6 OTA. It began with failures to save pics to my external SD card, then later the error popup. Clearing camera data and reformatting my external card helped a little but the problem grew back. Finally, launching the camera app always got the error.
Swapping the phone didn't help. In my case the problem followed the SD card. When I read that other apps accessing the camera might aggravate the problem, I disabled video calling in skype.
I got a new SD and the problem hasn't repeated.

Tried removing my SD card, to no avail.
After looking at how relatively cheap I can find this exact phone, unlocked, online, I now realize I made a huge mistake by going to a retailer. I paid $649.99 before taxes for the S2 Skyrocket a week ago at Best Buy Mobile, as I was replacing my recently destroyed LG Thrill, which had no insurance and was out-of-warranty.
Does anyone know if it'd be possible to just get a full refund for this device from Best Buy Mobile, and use another (much cheaper) unlocked S2 Skyrocket on AT&T's network?

I dropped my s3 in some water and quickly grabbed it, and dried it off. Everything seemed to be working ok, but then i noticed that it's acting like i don't have my sd card in it when i do. My wifes card gets recognized right away when i put it in, so i think my sd card is no good. Any suggestions on how i can recover data from it?? Thanx

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Have u tried using a different launcher just to be sure its not hardware/ROM related it might be the launcher?

--------------If you like puzzle, tackle this---------------
I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?
carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck. I'm stubborn and don't want to give up if anyone knows if there is a possible fix, hope you can possibly help!

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.
nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

[Q] T-mobile HTC One S "Process system no responding" and no sound or video playback
I've had the HTC One for a couple of months and ran into an odd problem which I couldn't find any help for online. An error message pops up with the following message "Process system is not responding". At this point the phone freezes and the only option is to reboot using the power button. After re-boot if the error message doesn't come up (usually a few reboots are required), there is no sound (even on phone calls) and either video playback doesn't work or the player speeds through the video (almost like 4x or 8x forwarding). After 5 to 10 reboots (although that number seems to be going up recently) I'll get the phone to work correctly, only for the problem to reoccur a few hours later. As of late the problem seems to occur when I tried to answer a call or right after a missed call.
The phone is completely stock and unrooted. I'm a total noob so I'm not sure what other details I need to provide. If anyone has experienced this issue or can shed any light on the matter that would be greatly appreciated!
Re: [Q] T-mobile HTC One S "Process system no responding" and no sound or video playb
This may not be a solution to your problem but its definitely worth to try.
1. Backup all your data.
System -->backup and restore
Backup your sdcard (fotos,music, etc.)
2. Do factory reset in
System -->backup and restore -->reset phone
After that set up your phone. Restore apps only from your Google account ( i.e. clean install from Google play).
If this won't sort out your problem go thru warranty and get it fixed.
Let us know how you got on.

Thanks for the advice but I've already tried multiple factory resets (forgot to mention that). None of them helped. As far as the warranty goes, I bought the phone off of some guy on Craigslist and I'm pretty sure he's not going to cover anything.
hey did you ever solve this problem? I am having the exact same issue right now.
No.. I found some links which helped temporarily but nothing that solved the issue ( let me know if you're interested and I'll dig up the solutions)..I ended up buying a new phone. Let me know if you're able to find a solution.
