Gameboid and SD Card dilemma - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

hey guys,
i have an irritating problem on my LGP500 (v2.2.1 Froyo), i had this phone for over a year now, but recently when i tried putting 2-3 videos on my sd card, only one would then freakishly appear. After a few PRIVACY reset (as well as SD Card Reformatting), the problem didnt go away. (i did not know the cause of that problem but it wasnt the video, had successfully transferred them before).
I had this problem a couple of months ago but after a reformat it usually was solved but not this time. Also, after the reformat my gameboid just crashed on me. No message whatsoever. Just clicked on a game then *boom* i'm back on my homescreen. I had this game for months now, never had this problem. So i decided to try to update my phone to 2.3.3 Gingerbread then root it via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167.
The problem with the videos disappearing was fixed but still the gameboid dilemma persists. So i tried, i searched, tried different bios, tried different versions (from 1.8-3.0.11) still no luck. Tried different roms that were compatible and still no damn luck. Im getting quite irritated, hopefully anybody can help.
Also, my 2.2.1 phone was rooted the whole time before that problem appeared, (also tried to unroot --> reformat) so i think my root isnt the problem.

Kaiser performance: Slowing down few days after flashing

Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...
Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks
Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk
Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.
Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english

for those with 2.2 lag

searched forums for days for an answer and couldn't find one. Found my solution and figured I'd pass it along. had a 2.2 device, but suffered from random shut downs. Went through 2 additional units, and noticed successive lag with each device in general homescreen switching, games, and tried all solutions I could find except rooting/lag fix. With my fresh new device, I went to 2.2 and experienced the lag. My original device had none and many other devices ran fine. Its the sd card. I had an external, since I put it in an external card reader, wiped it out, formatted the card and put it back in the device the phone runs lightning fast. 2.2 should have no lag at all, this this device doesn't. Give it a shot.

SD Card freezing phone

Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my phone, i've researched everywhere but it seems that no one is experiencing the issue as me, or at least I couldnt find anybody.
The thing is that one day after syncing my phone, when I unmounted the sd card(in the correct way) and I inserted it in the phone, the phone started to freeze everytime I locked it, once I locked the phone it became unresponsie, everytime. I can turn on the display but it doesnt respond to touch, the digital buttons either. However, if I get a notification it does show up in the display, so the phone its not dead.
This behavior happens with every card I have, ive tried with 3 different cards and everytime I sync them to my mac my phone responds this way.
I did a factory reset, I wiped everything and installed different roms but the issue remains. I also formatted the cards several times.
For the phone to work correctly it has to be card-free or with a sd card that has never synced with my computer.
I uploaded a video to make the problem more understandable, Im really desperate so any help will be greatly appreciated,
thank you!!
Edit; Sorry, I dont know why the youtube thumbnail doesnt show up here,

If the issue only happen AFTER you sync it to your PC that would make me think to look at what files you are syncing and how you are doing it. What are you loading on to your sd card? What class is your SD card as I have seen cards with a class less then 4 can cause issues.
Yes I thought of that, im just syncing music, and its the exact playlist i've been syncing before with this phone. I did a virus scan and nothing. Maybe a file suddenly became corrupted, but there is no warning about that..
I've tried with class 6, class 4 and class 2, all with the same problems..
I forgot to clarify that yesterday I synced the same files and for a while everything worked perfectly, I was able to play my music, etc. But all of a sudden I opened the camera app and the phone freezed, It did this everytime until I removed the card...
I appreciate your help, thanks

Sounds like maybe the virus scan is not detecting it. Are you syncing it while the card is in the phone? I would try that with blocks of music until the problem pops up and then you can slim it down from there
zelendel, thanks for your help, I did try those things and the problem remains.
However after trying different things I discovered that the files are not the problem because I synced all my music wirelessly and everything worked perfectly. Until I connected my phone to my mac without syncing and unmounted the sd-card.
My guess is that there is a problem with the mount-unmount mechanism, it may be a hardware issue I dont know. Its weird, because once I unmount, the sd-card prepares and the phone identifies it, but after that I cant open any music application, camera, etc and once I lock and try to unlock the phone, it freezes as I stated before.. Im lost
What do you think? any ideas?
thanks again!
Same Thing here in Xperia mini St15i Please Helpppppp?!

Sorry, something that is confusing....if you are unmounting your sdcard then that is why that you cannot open files..it is unmounted. What happens when u pull your sdcard out? unmount it from settings>storage and see how the phone behaves....if works smoothly then it might be a slot issue....
If your phone rooted?
Its stock rom? Hace u ever do something to ir? Probably its hardware problem.

Hello fellas
Same problem experienced here on two different Huwawei android phones -> sonic and ideos..gingerbread and froyo respectively.
Everytime the phones do sdcard I/O opps, all UI elements become unresponsive but bg tasks run coz they ring during incoming calls and texts.
The sdcard is the same...a 4gb kingston.
I know the sdcard works well because i've tested it more than once using H2testw 1.4 ....no flaws reported at all!
The card also works flawlessly on my nokia E63.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
sd card error ... guess so.
Hey there am too experiencing the same prob . When i insert the sd card class 2 the phone freezes , and becomes unresponsive until i remove the card ... Since dis post is about 2 yr old so guess there might b some solution to dis prob ... .... thankzz in advance

Oh No! Phone gone crazy! Missing apps!

Phone has been fine, working GREAT, thanks to the smart minds in this forum. Well, today my phone has been fine, until just a little while ago. It doesn't appear to have re-booted at all, but now things are really different. My theme isn't working, and isn't even showing up in my list anymore, as well as a lot of apps. I rebooted, and when I did, there was a wierd icon in my status bar. It looked to be the sim, or SD, with an exclamation point beside it.
I booted into recovery and tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. It got rid of the icon, but my apps still aren't showing up. A lot of them. Also, before rebooting, it wouldn't let me send a text. What should I do?
Val Final Rom, AntonX rc2 kernel, AS14.1
Update:
Everything is looking fine now. Apps have returned. I'm not sure really what happened, but I freaked. This is why I only use 'chirps'. I get pissed and smash these things when they fail to do my bidding.
Update 2:
It happened again. I think I have it figured out to be a problem with my sim card. Gonna try a few things and report back.
Maybe internal storage device/memory problems? I would try making a backup and reflashing same/different rom to test if it still happens.
Last time that happened to me, my SD card went corrupt. It may be time for a new one
you may have broke your sd reader.
Sim cards don't cause internal phone problems, all that would happen is no service/"UNABLE TO READ SIM CARD". Your apps/data would be fine.
Did you drop it?(your phone)
That's what happened to my G1.
And since when are themes listed in applications??
Do you mean launcher?(home screen replacement)
cm7/miui have theme support.
Sorry, been awwaway. Crazty night off. Phonne is still workidng fine from last fix. I thinki I just put it donw too hard.

Phone Randomly Restarting

My new Z3 has randomly restarted twice today when sitting by itself on a desk. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
i experience once while i was sleeping in the middle of the nite. it suddenly restarted which cause me to wake up.
same here it happened while it was sitting on the desk, after the restart it did updates for apps from the google play store
Same here, soft reboot today when Phone was not in use. No need to enter pin.
The first night with SIM card inn it, it restarted a bunch of times. The two previous days I did not notice any restart but cannot say for sure that is did not. It has restarted only at night. Last night it did not restart, but it restarted this morning. I have not found any logging feature or app that could point to the reason for the reboots. Annoying!
random reboot
I still get this random reboot problem every now and then, phone was on stamina mode whole day today and restarted twice randomly. Have you guys found a soln on that?
I have literally the same issue. Have you guys found a solution or a culprit yet?
I think that I've just found the solution. I had the same problem for a while, at the beginning I had some reboots once or twice a day, but the other day I had 15-20 reboots in the same day, I did a factory reset but the problem was still there. Using the phone I noticed that I was in TeslaUnread settings when the phone rebooted, I tried againg and it rebooted always when that app was opened. So, I uninstalled it and I had no reboots for days. Today, I reinstalled it and after 5 minutes the phone rebooted. Now I'm pretty sure that the problem was that app. Tell me if you notice the same thing
Try to uninstall the apps who are not update for long time( such 4-5 month or more ) and see the result. For me works, after I uninstall one app ( I having 2-3 rebooting by day ) who are updated last time in 2013 my phone not have anymore random rebooting ( passed one month ! ) . I am pretty sure you have installed an application that does not support Lollipop ( is not updated for lollipop ).
Sorry to bump an old thread, but this problem has been driving me nuts and I think I may have a solution. Specifically for my phone (a Z3c), it seems to be related to the SD card. I had a similar problem last year where the SD card would be corrupted and cause lags/data loss. I then bought a new SD card. Now, the phone has been randomly powering itself off and will not even charge when powered off. Then, at a random future time, the phone will be able to be charged/turned on as if nothing happened. This behavior has become increasingly more common
I've tried reformatting, deleting unnecessary programs, clearing caches, etc. The reformat seemed to help for a few days and then the problem returned. Last night I did some more troubleshooting and removed the SD card. It remained powered on for the whole night (for the first time all week). In the morning, I put the SD card back in and the phone wouldn't power on.
Right now I'm wondering if anyone else having the same problem with their Sony Z can cure it by removing their SD card? I'm going to next try to reformat the SD card and, if that doesn't work, buy a new (maybe slower) SD card. My current SD card is a 64gb class X which I've anecdotally heard can have timing issues with some SD controllers. I find it strange to have problems with two separate SD cards in my phone though. Either I'm very unlucky, SD cards aren't made for longevity, and/or the Sony Z has a controller that eventually kills or corrupts SD cards.
I still have reboots on the latest firmware, full stock, no mods and no shady things installed. It seems like this phone is not able to last more than 10 days without crashing and rebooting at least once. Today I thought the problem was solved as I didn't have any reboot for the last 9 days but as I was reading a page on chrome, I left the phone unattended for 5 minutes as I went to get some food and when I was back I was greeted with the boot animation. This is absolutely shameful, feeling the buyers remorse already. If course there is no way to tell why it happened.
if your phone is under warranty, get it fixed.
Huge waste of time if it's a software issue. Also I already had the phone serviced and factory reseted and I still have the reboots. Does anyone of you guys have these kind of reboots? You can see in diagnostics, system incidents.
