[Q] Multiple Issues with xt720

I am a new user of touchscreen and android phones, so I'm not sure if I'm just being picky with my issues, or if they can be fixed. But if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
1. My phone will randomly mute mid-conversation. I then have to re-enter my password and get back to the phone "app" to un-mute it.
2. When I'm using the camera, if I leave it long enough for the phone to go into sleep mode I can't get it to turn back on. The touch buttons are still highlighted at the bottom of the phone, but the screen is black. I can hear the phone beeping like it is turning back on, but get nothing on the display. I then have to take out the battery, wait for 30-60 sec and then put it back in. Sometimes I have to do this repeatedly before it will start working again.
3. When I try to update the OS in Settings I keep getting the message that the phone cannot connect to the server. However, I have not other problems connecting to any other sites.
4. I added the facebook app and want to remove it now. I have gone into settings > applications and "uninstalled" it. However, the icon is still on my homepage and I can't seem to remove it. When I hold my finger on it a trash bin shows up below. But this only moves it to my apps page.
5. The phone is freezes pretty often. At least a couple times a day.
Ok, this is it for now. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate.
Thanks

I going to guess your still on 2.1 when was 2.1 stock the was way too touchy. The light goes out and you can't get to turn on unless battery pull this a issue found on 2.1 their a 2.2 update coming in late July. Update this on all this option will not work xt720 it not ota compatible so your settings area will not work . Be patient wait for Cincinnati bell update and if your not with them I intend to leak it.

As much as I'm liking my return to 2.1, it does indeed freeze up often, as I recall it did when I first got the phone. (the whole screen goes black, lights on bottom turn on thing)
Facebook app is a stock app and can't be removed unless your rooted.
Never had the mute issue.
The cannot connect to server thing I have had. But it's irrelevant as there shouldn't be any updates to get anyways.

Is updating the OS the best way to improve the performace of my phone? or should I still do the overclocking. If you advise to do the overclocking, should I wait untill I update the OS, or do it now?

There is no update to the OS, except for one that just overclocks from 550 to 720mhz. Chances are you already have that though. I do think that overclocking is a good idea if you want to increase the speed of your phone obviously. 1Ghz is nice and stable.
EDIT: Or do you mean update as in install one of the 2.2 ROMs from here?

I think Queenmantis's problem are related to the original Home app. try some Launcher apps such as Launcher Pro.
for now, my favorite is GoLauncher EX, with the latest update last week, that app totally rock. you guys should try.
I really love Dexter's 2.2, but the short battery life keeps bugging me so I've already went back to 2.1 since last week. I've got no modification except Milestone Overclock + App2Card 2.8.2. Eclair is still so sweet.

Hi I have bluesteel I have modified it some and would put up against any of 2.2 or 2.1 my numbers. Startup 65 memory and regular memory is 70 to 88 program memory and don't freeze and no lag.

Wait for CBW's update if you don't want to root.. If you're open to the idea of rooting your phone, then go ahead and update to Dexter's 2.2, save yourself the headache, then flash one of Khalpowers' ROMs, that should fix you up real good, there's always the option of going back to stock of you don't like the results, or go back to the "official 2.2" from CBW once it's available. But that's just me..

1. Maybe the Proximity sensor for auto turn-off has problems, when you are using the phone, the backlight turn-on and your face or your ear touch the surface and it mute.
2. Obviously this is a hardware problem, you should bring your phone to where you buy it to check.
3. I have the same problem, but I think this is not our phones' fault. Motorola seems not to support this phone anymore.
4. Facebook is considered to be a system app on this phone, you can not remove it. The app call facebook you installed on the phone, just the update of the original facebook app. Don't worry about that.
5. This maybe is relevant with the problem you have in the number 2 - a hardware problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Please forgive if there is something wrong above. I'm willing to listen and learn.
thank you

May you show me how to install App2Card 2.8.2 on Eclair. I try but i failed. What should I know first to do this.

Any news on how you did..?

I think most important part of App2Card is partitioning of SD card. I had tried the partitioning tool in App2Card but it never fail to fail . So I partitioned my card as below and I use "Parted" software inside Ubuntu. My SD card is Sandisk 8GB SDHC Class6 card.
1st Partition - FAT32 (7.2 GB)
2nd Partition - EXT3 (512 Mb)
3rd Partition - SWAP (256 Mb)
Create one partition at a time. Don't create everything in one batch.
Then, the card should be ready to use.
now come with the App2Card. Open the app, make sure u grant root access and all, make sure the app detect the card. then close it again. (that might be the trick). And open it again. Just do open and close till the "What's New" pop-up never show up. It might be two or three times. Then click "Install EXT/Transfer apps to EXT" button.
it will install, make the phone reboot and configure.
after the phone is rebooted, open the App2Card to make sure it show no error message. If there's any error message, just try to reboot the phone. It will surely work.

Massive Windows Phone Tango IE Bug?

Hi guys,
i think my girl found a massive tango bug and for those people without changeable battery its VERY anoying, so beware to reproduce this with your device if you dont have a changeable battery!
The problem is, the complete UI hang up...you cant do anything after you follow these steps:
- open internet explorer
- go to settings and set it to desktopversion
- browse to www.bild.de (a very popular "news" site/paper in germany)
- scroll a bit over the site
now there are 2 possibilities
first one
- all pictures start to show
- scroll around
- when it hangs, just wait a bit and it will hang completly up
Video: http://www.vidup.de/v/780ef/
second one
- some picture do not show up
- go to "news" section and open one news (you have to wait, it does not react instantly)
- just let the news load a bit and go back through "back" button of your device to www.bild.de
- let it load and scroll a bit around and the ie will hung up...
If you are fast enough you can "rescue" your device by fast clicking the windows button, the ie crashes and your device is still on the run and you can rerun the ie...all is fine (if you dont browse to this site again, whats not the worst idea but maybe some other sites are affected, too)
Video: http://www.vidup.de/v/JQmwx/
Interestingly not the whole system crashes because its still booked in the mobile network, wifi (you can call the number and it will ring on your side, but the hanging system shows or do nothing on incoming call, you can ping the device and so on) and the "display timeouts" work probably...
First i thought the lumia 800 of my girl is just defective but i can reproduce this on my omnia 7, both are on tango (7.10.8773.98) and both had never this problem under any mango release. I found no way instead of using "mobile" site to prevent this problem.
Anyone aware of this bug or can confirm this?
Greetings
Update:
Lumias with build in battery (lumia 800/900) can be resettet by pressing volume, power und camera buttons for ~10 secs, thanks surur for this hint
-> http://wmpoweruser.com/browsing-bild-de-will-lock-up-your-phone-dead/
samsung and htc devices just need 10 sek press on the power button
wpcentral reproduced the crash with the focus 2
-> http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-tango-can-have-catastrophic-web-browser-crash

I can reproduce the first error. I suggest you report this to MS.
the only option left is to reboot the phone. after reboot IE is back to mobile version by default in settings.
it did not happen the second time I tried this (desktop version), so it seems that it's not always reproducible - but most times it crashes.
btw. this will not happen if you do not browse the entire page. e.g. if you only open the first visible part of the page and browse then it will not crash. only if you open including the footer of the frontpage the system will crash. I had to scroll down a couple pages (it will refresh) until I reached the footer. This may be random though.
your second issue (tapping on image for news) for me just crashes IE and it jumps back to tiles. No reboot necessary. When I reenter IE it forgot all the settings again even recent sites.
cool find. maybe this can be used for an exploit
ps: and how I miss the tabloid crap from Bild. Reading the titles and pics I am cracking up...

it does not hang when i browse around the site...just on the start page it hangs up.
hm deactivating locations doesnt help :/
what helps -> restore mango but this is not a real option for the lumia cause of internet sharing
hm dont know why i can reproduce this problem on 2 devices and nobody else can do the same

k i am not alone \o/

looks like you got my initial post, which I modified. I can now reproduce your problem. I would not want to go back to Mango just because of Bild.de. but maybe there are other sites that have this problem. Certainly MS should hear about this.

nothing wrong on my Radar running Tango 8779
edit: well, it hangs on my second try LOL. FYI, u can reset your non-removable battery device by holding down the power button for 10 secs

for me go back for bild.de is no option (i even dont read it ) and for my girl theres an bild.de app in the market but thats the point, maybe there are other sites which produce the same problem or it is exploitable...
posted same problem on answers @ microsoft but the mvp who responded cant reproduce this with lumia 900...

I just went ahead and reported your post to WPCentral to look into this. Also posted it on their Forum under OS. If there are enough people that can reproduce this and it's posted on a major news site it will get MS' attention for sure. I suggest you post it at the WPCentral forum as well.
tell the mvp at MS that it takes some time to reproduce it. I could not at first just like barclays. regular browsing habits may not even trigger this. I believe the entire site has to be shown and one has to zoom in and out and scroll around enough. Eventually it will crash.

ok too bad 7.10.8779 didnt fix this
10 sec power button holding dont work on lumia but remove sim, connect to power, wait a bit, insert sim and short after this it starts again.

These kinda things happen when we become impatient and refuse to wait for our carriers and OEMS to push out the updates.

I thought the lumia he wrote about got the update officially. I do not believe it will make a difference whether it is pushed through carrier or self, unless you miss language packs. However, then you should see a number of other issues as well.
0711, can you clarify whether you pushed the updates yourself or whether the updates were pushed by carrier? In my case I used the cab uploader to update.

Both devices got the update through zune officialy (without cabletrick)
ok for the omnia, there was some impatient, i flashed an official samsung rtm (7004) rom and zune updated it to tango.
On the lumia there was no impatient cause the update showed up instantly (unbranded lumia)

Whatever the case, it's not a real big concern because it would be reported with other sites rather than a German one.

did device reset (load factory settings), i think this should do that but anyway, tried on both, nothing changed. Still crashes

The bug isn't reproducible on my HTC Titan with 8779. Works all fine.

I couldn't reproduce it on my htc 7 pro running tango as well. That site is really heavy but it doesn't hang at all. It just takes a lot to load.
Sent from my HTC 7 Pro using Board Express

Nor my L800 nor my Omnia7 can reproduce the bug. The images on the homepage take a while to load (even after the progressbar shows finished), but I can scroll and move around and zoom and click whatever I want and it won't eff up.

NO bug here
My Lumia 800 did not crash, no matter how many times i tried to open and fully load the page or others between 2 times of bild.de opening.
Also fully load take 1/10 time than for tha focus in the wpcentral video.
ps: i pushed the 8773 update myself to the phone.

Build NMI81C

Just got the notification. Downloading and installing now.

Sweet, Just got it too!

Here's the ota url: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../19d4dd2871636b2bc9ee95445a3f208b0c0cf7e0.zip

Can we at least push the OTA via ADB? System updates says I'm on the latest version...

new camera version 01069

I just got it, but had to check for updates like three times.
Edit: taking forever to install.

It made it so much smoother for me. Any of the lag I experienced is gone. And the camera seems so much better.

Yes i absolutely agree

Something I noticed with this update...
I have the Pixel Camera apk installed. Prior to this update, when taking a photo with the phone in portrait orientation, then tapping on the photo thumbnail in the lower right, the app and system softkeys overlapped. Rotating to landscape, then back to portrait, resolved the issue. However, now that bug seems resolved altogether. Not sure of the relevance, but I thought it was a notable improvement.

Yes, you can.
Get the Google USB drivers and install them:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
Get the Google platform tools and unzip them to a new folder:
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Enable Developer Options on the phone and enable USB Debugging (look it up).
Plug your phone into the computer. Let it install any drivers it needs. Reboot if asked, or perhaps do so anyway.
Open a command prompt at the unzipped platform tools (hold shift and right click to get the option).
Copy the OTA zip to this folder. For simplicity, rename the file to ota.zip.
Issue the following command to make sure your device is seen:
adb devices
You should see your device id listed. If not, perhaps try rebooting and issue the command again.
Reboot to recovery:
adb reboot recovery
**OR**
Hold power and volume up while booting the phone.
You should see Andy laying down with an exclamation point popping out.
Hold power and press volume up.
From the menu, select 'Apply update from ADB'.
In the command prompt, type:
adb sideload ota.zip
Let it do its thing. It will install the OTA and reboot to finalize the installation.
I have tested this and it works fine on our phones.

Thanks. Worked. Had a few issues with the bootloader for some reason though. Trying to launch Recovery tended to just power off, same for restarting the bootloader. And even Starting System after the OTA. Got a little worried for a bit. I eventually got it, but I couldn't tell you how. Just a heads-up for anyone else.

I'm certainly glad I decided to keep this phone. Each update seems to make a noticeable improvement. Scrolling still isn't 100%, but it's darn close. Now if we can just get source files so the devs can start working their magic, everything will be rosie.

Anyone have the latest file? I tried ADB sideload but it gave me a package version error. It says "Eackage is for source build 335 but expected 365". Any ideas/tips? Thank you

I have the Sprint variant and still yet to get the OTA. Maybe it has only been pushed out thus far to the direct-from-essential models?

U ULTRA Oreo 8.0 update, is it half baked?

I have updated to Android 8.0.0 a few days ago and so far I have only came across problems and issues with stability and performace.
So the positives about the update:
- The phone definitly is more secure, google did an amazing job on that one, for sure its the safest version on android by far,
- Performance is slighty better
- The skin excluding the icons are very nice, but it just ends here,
And here are the negatives I have come accross:
- The settings menu is kind of broken. On a few ocassions so far there have been no icons next to the text and would disappear unless i closed settings and opened it again,
- When u select for example Security, There are no icons on the left of the text. It just seems lazy from htc that they didnt really finalize the rom, everything seems rushed,
- Files are encrypted by default and impossible to access unless you do a full wipe and somehow remove the decryption(I assume you need to use aroma, but i have no idea how that works),
- Multiple icons are used a lot and there are barely any animations (Example - On youtube when u minimize a video and then reopen it, there is no animation it just teleports the screen to full or minimized. When u pull down the menu from the top, again no animation, it just goes down instantly. When u try to close the applications when u swipe left or right it just does it quickly),
- The secondary display lags a lot i have no idea why,
- When i use bluetooth headphones the audio stutters a lot making watching videos or listening to music really uncomfortable( on htc earphones the audio is fine),
- The rom in general just feels really rushed and unpolished
If anyone is experiencing similar issues please let me know, also if there is a fix for the specified please post it down.
In general its cool that we got the update, but we got a half baked one, with controversial features I would say..

Yes numerous times

Okay so with a simple reset and a visit to the recovery to attempt to delete cache and dalvik cache, bluetooth works fine with my headphones and the secondary display doesnt stutter anymore, yay.
I think the rom is a little bit unstable..

From time to time it stutters a lot while on some ocassions it works smooth, ill probably have to factory reset it

The official Oreo rom lags. The former rom was smoother. I have horrible battery life. The SOT is less than 2 hours and it was around 4 hours. I did a factory reset. This update is a big disappointment.

Give it a few days guys

Guys keep in mind that every time when you update to new android it takes several days till everything settles. With the new version everything (including apps) is scanning, indexing and setting up in background in the first few days.

I have stoсk 7.0, tell me how to roll back to 7.0.
Trouble in Oreo is Temperature over 50-60 degrees
Also noticed the fact that in 7.0 the memory was loaded by 54% in 8.0 the memory is loaded by 70%
Please tell me why the processor operates at maximum frequencies in normal mode?

I'm fairly sure that you can do that by the option which is intent on doing so.
The point I was trying to make is, battery saver does not behave like this in the prior versions, and I was assuming that OP thought his ROM was broken somehow because of enabling it.

Just to add my experience with the update first time it soft bricked my phone and had to flash ruu via sd card to get it working again. It now runs but keep finding secondary screen crashes when using sat nav and error message covers the screen! I also get a crash in mail whenever i try to reply to anyone!

Screen goes black, buttons don't respond, can get calls from other phones to me

Hi all, I have been facing a really weird problem for the past few weeks. Sometimes all of a sudden, my phone screen completely turns black, and the buttons (as well as the alert slider) stop responding. There is no indication whatsoever that it is NOT switched off. However when I try calling it from another phone, ring can be heard as if my phone is working fine. I don't understand where the problem lies. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am rooted with Magisk 19.3, Riru-EdXposed 0.4.5.1 Sandhook, Riru-Core v19.5.
Edit: Android Pie. OOS 9.5.10.GM21AA

I had this problem recently when accessing certain apks. Reflashing the firmware sorted it for me.

no root same problem to me after I update from Android 9 to Android 10

Thanks I will try doing that.

Same problem here when opening quite a few apps. Issue didn't start until I updated to Android 10 (and rooted), on a converted T-Mobile variant. Wonder if that is the source of our problem. I'm sorely tempted to use the MSM tool and go back on TMO's Android 9 (and pray for a official update to 10). Unless someone can find a solution to this, rebooting the phone every time I want to open certain apps is a real pain.

Same problem here when opening quite a few apps. Issue didn't start until I updated to Android 10 (and rooted), on a converted T-Mobile variant. Wonder if that is the source of our problem. I'm sorely tempted to use the MSM tool and go back on TMO's Android 9 (and pray for a official update to 10). Unless someone can find a solution to this, rebooting the phone every time I want to open certain apps is a real pain.

It definitely is a A10 issue as I too have started to have this issue when opening games and ram extensive apps. A workaround is to open the game or app in split screen mode and once the app has started you can switch back to fullscreen mode or start the app from recents. That has worked for me 100% of the time. The 10.0.1 update seemed to make it worse because you have to reboot the phone to escape the black screen were as at first you could use gestures to escape the app.

Good idea using split screen, I'll have to start doing that for the time being. I moved over to Open Beta 3 and the issue is still there and worst as with 10.0.1. Hopefully OnePlus can nail this bug soon. It's turning a otherwise amazing phone into a headache.

I have the same problem. Running 10.0 rooted. For me, this has only happened when opening Youtube Vanced. One clever solution is to enable "Quickly turn on camera" and doublepress power if this happens. This launches camera and returns the screen to normal.

I had this problem recently when accessing certain apks. Re-flashing the firmware sorted it for me.

Experiencing this too, it does seem to be related to certain .apks, how bizarre is that? Really don't want to re-flash as I am encrypted... Can you dirty-flash with an encrypted system and not loose any data?

I reflashed through TWRP and all data was fine. I'm encrypted too.
But it goes without saying, make sure you do a backup before flashing anything
