[Q] Weird problem with infuse, USB and charging. - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hello android geniuses,
I have a weird problem with my infuse.
Earlier today I installed a new launcher app..... i was at 50 or 60 % battery.
Suddenly the launcher froze..... and when it woke back up 2 minutes later....my battery was down to 5% ...WTF
Afterwards...every time i plugged the USB in to charge it, it froze and rebooted.... but it DOES charge.
When I turn it on it boots perfectly fine....but it has to be unplugged.
If it is plugged in and I turn it on to boot....it reboots and goes back to the charging screen....
So weird.....
PS> The launcher (ligning launcher) has been uninstalled and my old launcher activated and running perfectly.
Thanks for any help
Any idea?
Edit .... I have used a battery calibration program to erase batrrystats.bin

Well, this issue has been address a couple times the last few weeks. Its a very weird situation that seems to be happening lately. So far i havent find a way to fix it, and to me this is a hardware issue. Something similar to what happens sometimes to certain iphones also. The solder contacts from certain ics(integraded circuits) will breakdown. And the phone will not work as it should because of that. If i find something, ill let you know...

Flash the device back to stock & perform a factory data reset.

Touch Pro Hard Reset While Charging

Hello,
Here is my issue, i have the latest TAEL Sense ROM from December. My phone just hard reset when i put it on charge while it's powered ON. This has happen on 3 occasions and does not occur when the phone is OFF and charging.
Here is what happenned the last time. Battery was low, just plugged the phone in for charging, came by after 1 hour and saw a miss called, tried to get to the call history screen, but impossible, HTC Touch Sense was not responding.
I was able to get to the windows 6.5 application menu while using the HOME button. Then I used the reset shortcut to reboot the mobile.
Took a long time to reboot(Normal boot screen) and then gave me the Stylus configuration screen, and booted up again to configure TAEL sense rom.
Then everyting gone, contacts messages,... like a fresh HARD RESET...
Does anybody have a clue why this happen ?
Could there be some issue with my battery charger ? or USB Cable ?
Or is this a ROM related issue.
Thanks for your feedback on this one.
thanks for the heads up, man. pretty much the same as in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613653
and i did forget to mention that both times it hard-resat itself, it was charging as well.
update: it resat itself when i got to work this morning, after being on charge all night.
same here 2 month ago with new Romeos: HR while charging...
did you solve it? any patterns?
Charging successful when mobile is OFF
Last night, i put my mobile on charge all night while it was switched off. when i booted it this morning, everything seems working fine... no resets...
There might be something going on with some applications that are installed on the mobile ?
all i had: calendar and contacts backup. t-mobile mms size fix cab, fuze keyboard fix cab. try leaving it on while charging!
disabled touch flo, put it on charge - nothing so far.
no resets so far - disabled the touch flo. any other feedback?
never mind: put it on charge earlier today and once i opened the keyboard the theme layout changed to stock, so i assume it's going to hard-reset once again
2 resets in one day
There has been 2 resets, yesterday night... i have tried to disabled HTC Sense and install Mobile Shell. but the OS was really unstable and when i rebooted was already hard reset... i wasn't charging the phone... seem to me, that this is an issue at the windows mobile 6.5 level... i'll post a link on Tael Roms page, maybe other persons have the same issue.
flashed back to stock 6.1 - no problems so far.
I've had the exact same problem, but with my Touch Pro 2. I started a thread here, but got no replies so far. I'm wondering if something in custom ROMs is causing this.
that's what it looks like. since reverting back to stock 6.1 no resets whatsoever. knock.knock.knock.

[Q] Car Kit popping out everytime I install a new rom

So something weird happened with my Inspire where it somehow got unlocked in my pocket and opened a few programs. One of them was car kit, and even though I kept exiting the program it still pops up. I tried unticking the box where it says open automatically but it still didnt work. I resorted to clearing my cache and wiping data and flashing a new ROM, but the weird thing is the first thing I see when the phone first boots up is the car kit mode. Also another thing that changed with my phone is the way the backlight behaves. It just turns on all of a sudden randomly even if it is unlocked. Also what I like about the Inspire is its feature of dimming the backlight when it is near your ear during a phone call and returns to its normal brightness when its not. This feature is also gone. Has anybody experienced this sort of problem? Is there a way around it? Like bringing ALL the system files to ABSOLUTE default then flashing again?
I would definitely run the RUU to stock, then rerun the hack kit and see what happens.
So I got the car kit to stop opening all the time, but the problem of the backlight still persists. But another problem is the phone backlight turns on when the phone is moved just a LITTLE bit. Its definitely annoying me, since it is a major battery drainer.
PS. I just found out that it only happens when it is plugged in.
I just discovered something strange about my Inspire: I have an adapter to step the size down from mini-USB to micro-USB. When I use one particular charger, the phone switches to the Car Panel as soon as I plug it in. I've got no idea. Phone is completely stock, not rooted. I originally sideloaded a Swype keyboard but deleted it and installed the Slide-It after I realized the Swype would quit working every time the publisher issued a new beta.

Widget and Text Input problems, can anyone help?

My Optimus 3D has suddenly developed some serious problems and I have no idea what is going on.
First indication was Power Off refused to work, it would blank the screen but the backlight and capacitive button light would remain on forever. So I have had to force off by holding the power button.
After doing this a few times its now taking AGES to finish bootup and most of the widgets are working sporadically. One minute they will be working, the next they won't and might respond to a touch half an hour later. Yet, a few of them still work fine. I have tested using LG Home as well as Launcher Pro, the same problem occurs on both.
Worst problem of all though is typing has stopped working. First time it did it I simply rebooted and it worked again, but its stopped functioning again and rebooting every day is unacceptable when it was fine before.
Basically any text input form I press, the keyboard pops up and I start typing, but the text doesn't go into the text input field. This is with any keyboard selected.
This is really frustrating as prior to these problems I was really loving this phone and hardly ever had to reboot it.
It seems it all started after something caused the phone to reboot itself in the night (the bootup jingle woke me but I was too tired to check) and then I think it locked up during the reboot as battery monitor widget shows no log entries after the reboot, just the battery suddenly at 100% again as I charged it before powering it back up the next day.
I would prefer to know how to fix it in case it happens again but if I am forced to restore to factory settings, any advise for what and how to backup what is on there so I have minimal work to get it back to this state (hopefully without the glitches)?
I have had both internal and external SD mounted over Mass Storage and done an error check from Windows on them which found no errors, as I suspected it was corruption on internal SD but clearly not.
The weird thing is, other than the above the phone works fine - but its fairly useless when I can't type on it and I am concerned the widgets hanging is degrading the battery life.
Flash a clean stock rom and see if it fixes it

I actually figured out what is wrong and its bizarre. It was my router!
Basically I upgraded DD-WRT to the latest version (which has since been taken offline so obviously buggy) and it caused all the above symptoms. The instant I disconnected from WiFi all events which were meant to happen suddenly happened all at the same time, then everything was back to normal. Connect to WiFi and it hangs again.
I have no idea how a bug on my router can cause such a wide variety of problems but there you go. Downgraded the router back to the previous firmware and all is well again.
I briefly had the "no text input" error happening after i removed some bloatware with root explorer. It was really starting to irritate me but when i turned the phone on it's side it worked again and has never stuffed up since!
Just thought I'd share my experience.

Well unfortunately I was wrong, problem started again today and I even tested at a friends house. Basically, when connected to WiFi my phone goes AWOL with widgets hanging and text input randomly stopping working.
Earlier to search marketplace I had to disconnect from WiFi, type the search string, reconnect, purchase, disconnect (it refused to download) and use HSDPA instead. This is really frustrating as I'm about to get 40Mbit broadband which is going to suck being forced to use T-Slowbiles pathetic 1Mbit HSDPA to download instead. Perhaps not the end of the world, but its really really weird.

[Q] Reverted to WEIRD default settings after random reboot

So hey folks,
This is the most strange issue i've experienced with my OPO so far.. Already had many random reboots since i manually flashed 38R, but this night Bacon screwed things up.
I woke up, seeing my OPO in a boot loop, it was super hot aswell and has drained the whole battery. So i connected my charger, did a reboot.
'Android is upgrading. Optimizing apps.' - OK so far, but only a total of 106 apps (With my last runtime change to ART, it showed 188 apps..). W/e.
Now it comes. Phone boots up - language defaulted. Whole settings reverted to stock. Apps are still there, but data is lost. :crying: Media on phone is untouched.
Suddenly i see these super strange buttons - they are NOT in their usual CM11S-Design!! And i did not change any visual stuff. [Attached Screenshot of notification screen]
Top right button to switch to quick actions does not work anymore, no reaction.
Home button completely not working aswell.
Also if i shut down and charge, the charging animation is completely different and colored instead oft OPO's normal one.
Restart menu back one low-level functionality aswell..only restart and shutdown possible [Attached Screen]
It's like my phone reverted itself to half generic android.
Guys, what the Heck happened?!
I mean, i will prolly just hard reset and reflash my phone later this day, but really.. WTH is this?? Any similar experiences so far? Or any Problem solutions?
Thanks for your time and replies..
Wasnt able to post in OPO Forums so far (server error >.>) but will update this thread if i get more info.
Attached screen shows that Rom status seems normal..

System UI Stopped issue after root?

Has anyone experienced random system ui force close after rooting? All I did was install adaway and used the chainfire workaround to get it working. It continuously force closes even after reboots. The only way to get out of it is to plug the phone in to a charger...weird I know.
I had the exact same thing happen. In my case it was MalwareBytes that was causing it. I plugged into the charger, got the homescreen and noticed malwarebytes crashed too, and wouldnt open. Uninstalled it, rebooted and no more System UI crash errors.
I had that issue come up while I was using Messenger. I have unlocked and rooted my phone. No other changes. I did use Titanium Backup to import an xml of my previous text messages. (Added later: the battery was probably close to 15% or less when this occurred.)
Have you tried uninstalling ad-away? I've done the exact same steps you describe with no issue.
Yes i have faced the same problem, i think it happens when the battery is low. Don't know if its root or EX kernel!
Had the same UI issue this morning. When I plugged the charger in, the UI force close issue immediately stopped. The battery was at 7% and when I unplugged it at 44% the issue is still gone.
I believe as well that Adaway is causing the issue. Before installing Adaway, the error did not appear. I reflashed the factory images and obviously the error went away.
A temporary solution suggested @blk_jack is to turn on power saver @ 15% auto
The issue was reported to Google. Everyone should star it so it gets more attention.
I thought I was alone, it happened shortly after I froze Pixel Launcher with Titanium Backup. I'm glad to know it wasn't the case and charging the phone resolved the issue.
