Ever since I started using custom ROMs on this phone, I've been occasionally taking it out of my pocket or off the charger to find that it's rebooted itself on me for no apparent reason, even if I haven't touched it in hours. But when I check, last_kmsg just doesn't exist in any of the usual locations, so I have no way to find out why. Am I missing something? Is there any way to enable it on this phone?

Hi!
First thread, but have been on this forum a lot lately, since I finally got around to rooting and getting my Hero to run Cyanogen! If there's a similar post, I am sorry to double it, but I have not found anything that relates to my issue so far.
The problem I have is minor, yet still annoying. Whenever I get around to charging my phone, which is at least once per day, I have to use the USB port since I lost the wall-plug months ago. This in itself has never been an issue since I put Cyanogen on it. See, after I remove the cable, my SD-card won't remount automatically, causing all my photos etc. to be invisible until I manually unmount and mount it through settings.
This is especially annoying since the ringtone app I use puts the ringtone in a folder on the card whenever it's downloaded. Charging the phone thus hides the file away in a foul place, and causes me to have to redo the entire process of downloading and all that.
As a follow-up to this, I have two questions:
1) Is there any way of solving this easily, or did I do something wrong while putting Cyanogen on my phone?
2) The data that becomes inaccessible, is it still on the card taking up space, or is it deleted?
I might add that I tried turning USB debugging on and off. Also, I noticed that this issue seems to be quite spontaneous with everything except my ringtones. Photos, for example, sometimes show up no matter what, and Spotify-files are always accessible. Could it be an issue with the app?
Thanks guys!
Hi, I have a g1 that has suddenly stopped working - when I start it I see the t-mobile screen and then it switches to the android screen and just stays like that and doesnt start.
It stalled while making a call and I was not able to restart it.
I have tried wiping everything from recovery console (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669) and re-flashing my phone with my old firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
I don't know what's next here - can anyone please help?
some more background:
I had the phone for two years here in the US and have traveled out side of the country with it for several trips with no problems whatsoever, however, this phone I have given to my niece who doesnt live in the US.
The reason i'm saying this is that maybe the cause is a radio problem of some sort...
Let me know if you think of something coz I really don't know what do to next
Thanks,

First of all, wrong section.. (Please post in Q&A)
If you had poked around and used the search feature, i'm pretty sure you can find what you are looking for
but anyhow, you need to flash another rom (via recovery) assuming you have already rooted because you somehow corrupted the system partition.
Thanks for the reply, I tried using cyanogen's mod but it didnt get me anywhere, I will try different mods but could this be a radio issue? is there a way to check that?
p.s. I did a thorough search of the forums and that's how i did all the things b4 posting but then I got stuck...
Hi, sorry I posted in the wrong section, just noticed what you mean.
Can any of the admins move this thread to q&a (or can I do it myself somehow)?
Data?

My friends phone is doing something extremely similar. He gave it to me to play with to make sure he wasn't mad, and it was actually the phone having issues.
Upon playing with it for a few hours problems started to occur. It would randomly shut off, then not want to reboot unless left sitting. It would get after the ROM screen and then shut off. I noticed that that a quick was to crash it was to start browsing the Internet over Wi-Fi. After a few pages loading and moving around the pages as they loaded the poor phone would just turn off.
Since he is using another phone in the mean time, I got his G1 without a SIM card. I was playing games on it, poking around in applications and more and the phone wouldn't turn off. I wasn't till I enabled Wi-Fi that problems started happening. I'm not sure if the Wi-Fi driver is part of the baseband unit or not but it seems that the more data the phone uses (3G or Wi-Fi) heightens its chance of turning off.
To get the phone to boot again I either have to take the battery our for a few minutes or leave it off for a while. Upon which time it will book as if nothing happens.
I also noted that every time it boots it shows an exception error related to "gapps" and you have to click force quit. His phone is running CyanogenMod 4.2. Also the Home key doesn't function, but this is software related because it can turn the screen on.

Hi,
I see a BatteryMonitor service which is running in my phone. It comes back after killing it.
I am not sure what it does else than sitting there idle and it actually seem to do nothing. I disabled it from startup and android Battery Use section seems to be still functioning. I couldnt find any information about it by googling either.
Does anybody know what it does? Is it safe to disable?
Also, is it safe to remove VSuiteApp.apk from /system/apk so it wont start at boot and stay? I never use it anyway and often it is a nuisance...
Thanks,
Hi, So I have been fighting the dreaded random reboots for the last few weeks and despite factory resetting and loading a new ROM etc. I can't get to the bottom of it.
It only seems to happen when not connected to Wifi, when I am out and about and strangely most commonly when I am out jogging.
I was thinking it was something to do with the phone's radio's just because it doesn't happen when I'm using it or when it's connected to Wifi but this is just a noob speculating.
Anyway, I found some instructions on how to pull a LAST_KMSG file and I have attached it from the reboot that happened this morning. Problem is I have no clue what I am looking at so I'm hoping one of you clever people can tell me what it means.
Thanks for your time and help.
Ok, so as the title says, I'm looking to completely undo having rooted my tablet, and all the customization I did to it, but I'm having a bit of trouble.
According to multiple apps my tablet is no longer rooted, and I got the stock rom from Sammobile flashed on it, and I have the stock recovery back, but I seem to be suffering from the wifi problem that CM suffers, I know this as I can connect to my 5G wifi as well, which I'm never able to do when the tablets wifi is working correctly, and also even connected I barely have any speed, if even any.
Now I know of the wifi fix you can flash through TWRP, but as I said, no more TWRP, and I don't want to reinstall it, I want everything back to stock.
Now, I know of Wifi Fix's for other tablets, like the Galaxy S4, that you can flash on with Odin, but I can't seem to find one like that for the Note Pro 12.2. So if anyone can send me a link I'd really appreciate it.
And also, I can't remember, but did the Note Pro 12.2 ever get anything higher then Android 5.0.2? Because I try to update it, and it says because my tablet was modified I can't do so. Plus Sammobile doesn't have higher then 5.0.2 but I read somewhere that it got 5.1.1 so I really don't know, any help on that front as well would be great.
Now, you may be wondering why I want to do this, in truth I'd rather have my tablet rooted, I save so much battery life getting rid of all the bloatware. But no matter what I do, there always ends up being a problem with my tablet.
I follow all the instructions given, I do exactly what everyone else does, even having someone walk me through it step by step once, and always it goes horribly wrong.
The first time my Nova Launcher would crash constantly, and then everything else would start crashing with it. Then the second time all my videos would play stuttering and jerky, and the audio would be out of sync horribly, and nothing I did would fix it. And now most recently, even though the tablet it connected to the computer, the drivers always fail installation, and even when they are successful, I'm still unable to actually access the tablet from my pc.
I read somewhere that it may be because I disabled Media Storage, but with Media Storage I have just as many problems, it drains my battery like crazy, it causes things to load up extremely slow when accessed through the computer, if a folder has a hundred files for example, it will take almost twenty minutes for them all to load up, and you can't do anything until they do, and if you try copying something into a folder without going into it you'll just be stuck in an endless loop of copying that never ends.
But without Media Storage everything loads up just as quickly as say an SD Card, so said 100 files only takes a few seconds.
And worse thing it caused, which troubled me for a long time before I found out what caused it, at random the media storage would decide to claim 20gb's of space, saying it was all taken up, when it isn't. And it would keep happening at random times, and at random sizes. Near the end it had taken up every bit of free space I had and didn't change back even after several days which is what led me to looking up what was causing that in the first place.
So as you can see, leaving Media Storage enabled is a big no for me. So as such I'm unable to root and customize my tablet for that reason as well.
Now, before you say how weird it is that I have such trouble, and how you have no idea why it would happen, there is a very key reason, Technology HATES me. Trust me, more often then not when I try to do something that works for literally everyone else it fails for me, like say connecting an Xbox controller and getting it to work on my pc. Yeah, never works even after almost 5 hours of trying. So yeah, technology hates, maybe even dispises me.
So anyway, if you can help me fix the wifi, and the update problem if that's possible, I'd really appreciate it.
Are you able to get it connected to a PC?
There are tutorials on how to go back to complete stock if you haven't tried Knox I might search for what people have done before they take the their device back to the carrier. Many people want to un-root before they give up their old devices.
