[Q] Time to speak up

Getting tried of watching my phone reboot. If going back to stock would resolve the issue I would do it. I called big red today and the pinhead I spoke to acted like it was the first time anyone had called about the TB rebooting on it's own. I'm looking at going to a different phone. I really think at this point it is a software issue that they need to correct. Just like with most businesses things are not addressed until they become a problem. So my thought is we should set a date when every one calls in to report their rebooting phones. We do this every week until we get a resolution. Anyone with me?

Wait... You are rooted and getting reboots? Are you on gb? Did you root or install your rom properly? What kernel?
Stock I had no issues. Non-Gb I've had mostly no issues... Some kernels less reliable than others, of course. But to be honest it sounds more like a user issue than a tb issue

Are you near a Verizon store? Verizon is usually very easy to convince that you need your phone replaced. (Although I think they will only replace it with the same model. But I'm not sure.) My Thunderbolt never reboots on its own but I know it is a problem that many Thunderbolts are experiencing, so maybe yours (and many others) is/are defective. I'm 99% sure if you go into a Verizon store and tell them that it randomly reboots all the time, they'll replace it for you.

I reverted back to stock and haven't had a single reboot or loss of data on three days. Just sayin'.

I have read posts where people who are not rooted are getting reboots after they took the update. Have never had an issue with my phone until I took the update. Am going back to stock for a week or so to see if that clears things up.

Funny how VZW is changing their stance on it, almost as if it never has happened. About a month ago I went into a store and they told me that Im not the only one experiencing problems and that there will be a fix within 2 months.
I called VZW tech support and they told me that no one else is having reboots.. . . . I dont get it.

Try flashing your radios, I put both of mine to .6 and the reboots stopped.
(there is a thread in teh development forum, with the packages)

Can you specify what you mean when you say "both"? I have been getting reboots too - approximately 1 per day - but is there a process to flash each radio independently?

No, but each flash has two radios

It is a hardware issue,that's where the few pricked phone came from,my original bolt had the reboot loop on stock but no one seems to want to hear that,it is a series of phones having the trouble and they are or have replaced most of them,as far as most of the other reboot go that is self made misery by not following directions or not reading to find the fix, this bolt I have now has no reboot issues and it has a mat finish to it,the other one and a few I have seen that had issues had a smooth glossy finish.

I would love to think its a hardware issue, but my phone was solid from day one. Then I took the update and get these random reboot.

It is not a hardware issue. It is a problem with the update and how certain phones installed it. Verizon is in the process of making a new update and has been working on it with HTC for a little while now & expect to have it going out this month. For some reason the software does not talk to the towers properly with some models & the hardware does not get the proper info which causes the reboots. Exactly how to tell which phones are affected, I don't know. My friend is trying to find out for me.
I can say that I ran my phone with rooted stock & moved up to the rooted update when it was available which I am still on and I have not had any issues at all besides the low recorded video audio which the update seems to have fixed for me.
My phone is:
Rooted stock & radios w/update
Adrynelynes 4.47 Kernal

I am telling you what HTC said they admit that a certain series is defective hence the snappy replacement. Just cause one Rom works and another doesn't isn't always the Roms fault,ever had a CPU that would run one OS and not another or RAM that worked fine on xp but not win 7 once the defective hard hits its limit it will fail. I have seen hardware work fine overclocked and the exact same hardware crash with half the settings,or a motherboard run suse fine but put Windows on it and it dies a week later. I didn't say they all were defective just one series of them and when they did the update a lot of the phones started to fail and some didn't,so does that tell you hardware or software,if one can run fine and the other fails its either a bad flash or bad hardware. Take your pick

I didn't do the update over the air on my other bolt, I downloaded it from HTC and it killed the phone,but the same download is on this phone and it works just fine,not one reboot, and its still stock and not rooted. The other one was dated Dec
10 and this one is dated Feb 11, I would just about guess they tweaked the update to weed out the bad phones faster,makes sense to me.

I wasn't aware of HTC stating there was some defective hardware. Never saw any references to it. If thats the case then glad they acknowledged it.

It's definitely not a hardware issue. Its a radio/ signal issue. Verizon does know about it, and is working on getting a new update out there. I know this, for a fact.

My TBolt is not rooted and before the update I had no problems at all but after the update the random reboots started. Battery life is acceptable but could be allot better.
Called Verizon yesterday and they acknowledge the problem and actually said HTC is aware of the problem and are working on it but have no expected date as to when it will be fixed. I believe it is definitely is a software issue and will be fixed when the official Gingerbread is released. Just my 2 cents.

Atrix 2 Issues

So I have recently started experiencing issues with my Atrix 2 where it reboots itself about 15-25 times a day on its own. Its a very annoying issue that has been going on for roughly a week now. It also started all of a sudden. Any help would be appreciated.
Other Notes: 2.3.6 Rooted, Stock ROM, Currently Under Volted for battery saving,

I recommend disabling undervolting and/or trying to run without the overclocking modules.

I've went all day w/o my SD card and it did fine until about 2 hours ago. Since then it has rebooted 4 times. Any suggestions?

My fiancees original Atrix just started doing the same thing a few weeks back. We had to do a warranty exchange and get her another one. It's the phone.

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 strange touch screen problem

Hi,
I have a galaxy tab 2 which I got recently. As soon as I got it home I installed the latest CM10 so not sure if this problem is software related or hardware.
Anyway the issue is that when the tablet is turned on within the first 5 minutes of use the touchscreen becomes unresponsive intermittently. The only way to get it working again after it freezes is to turn the screen off then on and the screen responds again. It will keep doing this for another few minutes or so intermittently. The stranger thing is that after the first 5 minutes or so of doing this the screen then seems to work fine for the remainder of the time I use it.
When I turn off the tab and start it again the next day, it does the same 5 minutes of intermittent unresponsiveness then fine again!
Anyone had the same problem or can suggest a fix??
Thanks.

Try to use another night or stable CM ROM. Did you have the same problem on stock ROM? Has your tablet screen protector? - it may cause some permanent lags
Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 4

I have no screen protector. I also have the same CM10 installed on a second tab 2 I own which does not have this problem.
To me it does not feel like screen lag, but more the screen touch just switches off for no reason.
I'm not sure if it happened in the stock rom as I did not test it. I will try the latest CM10 and also stock to see if it makes a difference.
Sent from my CUBOT GT99 using Tapatalk

If you will see this problem in the stock rom after flashing multifiles rom with PIT-fie, you should going to service, because your recently got tab can have physical problems.
Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 4

Yes I suspect this is a hardware issue as nobody else seems to have reported the same problem. I'll try the stock rom again soon.

Well I have a second tab 2 that works perfectly with CM10. I think this second tab must just be bad luck.
For general internet browsing, apps, and even most games, this tab is fine. It's quick and smooth with CM10. If you need productivity software or high end games then go for the tab 3 or the note. But for general stuff those tabs are overpriced and over spec!
Sent from my CUBOT GT99 using Tapatalk

So I've now tried flashing to CM11 and then also back to the stock, but still the same problem.....first few minutes after starting the tab the screen becomes unresponsive 4 or 5 separate times. Only turning the screen on and off makes the screen responsive again.
Then after the 5 minutes or so the screen works normally!!!
What is going on?? I assume this must be a hardware issue then??

ill bring this up cause i have same problem
on my side i own the first generation of galaxy tab, i dropped the tab o the floor, got the screen replace by a local shop, the intermittent problem started, brought back the tab, they put a new glass/digitilizer, problem is still there.
stock p7500 rooted for the past 4 years, never got that problem before breaking the glass
they told me every connections seem to be fine, i didnt opened the back panel myselfto check but i wanted to know if anyone got that and if they found a solution
any idea ?

@np27np27
I had the same problem one year ago..
The only solution was to replace the motherboard.
This happend for me after flashing stock Samsung jellybean .

and how do you replace a motheboard on a tab, also whats the cost of a motherboard, wouldnt be easier to just buy a new tab ?
i really love the first generation, even if its outdated and slower, it does what i need and i dont have the "middle" button that the new ones have.

I've sent it to a Samsung service center. The tab was still under warranty.

[Q] Nexus 5 touchscreen suddenly stopped working.

Hello,
My Xperia Z broke and I sold it. Last week I bought a Nexus 5 (white) and yesterday the touchscreen suddenly stopped working while browsing twitter. I rebooted and the touchscreen worked for 1 sec and then it stopped working again. It keeps working for 1 - 5 sec and then stops.
Is there a way I can fix this? The phone is rooted because I wanted to copy WhatsApp over from another phone because I lost my sim bound to whatsapp.
I can go to the shop I bought it and get it fixed under warranty because I did not do anything weird with the phone nor dropped it. but first I want to see if it can be fixed from home or if it is a software problem because the shop is a hour drive and I don't want to do without my phone for another 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance!

This should have been posted in q&a, not general. But to answer your question, you're going to have to warranty it.

If you want to be sure it's hardware, reflash the factory image and see if anything changes. But it's most likely hardware at this point.

I hope we are not going to get this part functioning screen problem with the N5. I bought a Nexus 5 last week only because part of my N4's screen stopped responding to touch after having it for only 14 months from new.

If it's happened to two of your devices, maybe it's something you're doing to it.

[Q] Restart issue on AT&T LG G3

Hi guys,
I know that there is a problem with other LG G3 carriers that the device make restarts by its self.
I thought that my AT&T device is protected from that buti wrong.
The phone make self restarts i think one in 2-3 days.
I don't know why....
From my search in the NET i saw that this is the illness of this device.
There will be solution for that problem?
Hope yes....
Thanks

If your device randomly reboots then it is a factory defect and should be returned immediately! I did this with one of my old samsungs and it only took a couple of days to get a new one in the mail. Don't keep a lemon, get a new one while you can!
