Serious Problems - Focus General

Since I got it there has been very few issues, but since I got a new laptop/nodo I've had a whole host of problems. I would like any fix if anything is possible!
Sometimes it will randomly turn off and not turn on unless I remove the battery. This happened once while playing music and was not battery related.
Sometimes it will not charge.
and Now most recently I cant get the email app to open no matter what I do!

Give us some more details. Do you have a sd card installed? Have you performed any register changes?

No sd card, and the only thing "extra" I've done was the Chevron updater. However that update caused me zero issues.

I have no idea. You may have to hard reset.

I won't call Chevron updater causes no issue. In fact, it causes serious issues for future updates, e.g. Not possible to get any updates.
But your issue is probably not caused by this. A hard reset maybe your only solution (but it won't get rid of the issue with Chevron updater, you have to wait for Chevron team to fix that problem).

Phone keeps rebooting itself (!!!!)

Ever since the big update (023 or what it was called) my phone reboots its self now and then when I let it sit. It startaed doing it once a week then it started doing it many times a day. 5 days ago I did a repair and it has worked fine until today. It reboots it self again and you're stuck at the pin code.
I've heard that I'm not alone with this problem but few people seem to care. Well I care, A LOT.
How do I fix this.
Obviously it's something SE's done given the fact that it started after the big update.
Im starting to get very tired of this piece of crap and will soon flush it down the toilet. Hang ups, slow interface, reboots, poor screen sensitivity after a while, rediculous sound quality, poor bluetooth support. This is my last SE phone, they're totally incompetent. I tend to use my 9 million year old Nokia handset more than this infernal piece of f**k.
Well .. thanks ..
memory card error ! try copyin all your stuff on your pc then format the card in your phone then copy back worked for me !

Oh FFS dont say that! You will get flamed on here by the kids who think this phone showed apple how to do it.
Slag the X10 of at your own peril! All I did was ask one question and made a comment about 2.1 on the phone and got 3 pages of people phanboying it up.
Your right though the phone is **** and mine is up for sale to get a Galaxy S But thanks for the tip I shall format the card so when I sell it it wont reboot while they are looking at it.
My phone keeps rebooting, and I don't care.
Just kidding. I had this problem before, but it seems to be better now. I was using the program Vault, and I hid away "Backup and Restore" and "SIM Toolkit". After I restored them to normality, I stopped having phone restarting issues.
Also, please don't start a flame war with your complaints about your phone. No one else seems to be having as many issues as you, it is probably something you are doing wrong.

See it's saying thing like that that adds fuel to the flames! Its an open forum so people can express opinions on it yet all I read on here is:
"It's your fault you cant use the phone" this does nothing but incite a retaliation from the poster as if some one said "It's not your girlfriends fault she doesn't cum its yours, I mean she cum for me last night" it would get your back up.
If somebody express an opinion about something does not mean they want a flame war I simply expressed my opinion and agreed with what the OP said.

What do you mean by "I hid away"?. You mean that you just uninstalled Backup & Restore? I have not installed SIM Toolkit whatever that is.
same problem here.
phone reboots once or twice a day and it gets stuck at the pin screen.
this is really annoying.
will try to format the card, and there is another thread were someone said he replaced the battery and the problem was gone.
Found the probable cause of the reboot problem:
Check the "[GUIDE] SIM Card Locks randomly - Howto solve. (rooted SE X10i/a phones only)" in the X10 Anroid Development section.
Try killing Backup & Restore in the Program menu and voilá, the famous SIM card kill bug.
I disabled the SIM card PIN code so it doesn't stick there. The bug is still there but the phone works.
Great work SE - No just kidding - You bunch of amateurs.
well ... the method is for rooted devices, so there is no solution for this yet.
i did format the card to see if i solved anything.
if it reboots when your reading from the card like useing MP3s or looking at photos ! its becuase ther is a bad sector try poping your card in a card reader then let windows tell you there is a error and let it fix this !
i know this sounds stupid but i too had this problem and hav noticed it does it when the battery is at a certain temp (hot) i mite be wrong !!! or is it just a coincidence
Well... formating the card does not help.
Any other ideas?

Do you use a taskkiller? If so stop killing 'backup and restore' .

You don't need a taskkiller on Android. The whole problem with this bug is that people are trying to kill apps/services that shouldnt be killed in the first place.
This is a firmware bug...
I have had a similar problem... however my phone is a new one from the SE repair facility in Poland. It has the latest firmware and the phone exhbits the rebooting with no SIM or SD card installed. The problem also doesn't appear to be related to battery temperature as it can also occur from cold.
I will try an unbranding and see if the same issue exists.

I am not using any task killer.
Mine just started rebooting itself today too after owning it for two weeks. Have been updated to firmware 026 rooted for a few days and notice it only does it when the battery reaches lower than 50%. Gonna re flash it tomorrow and re root it. Reformat the sd card. Will update on if it keeps rebooting.

That did't do the trick for me. Taskkillers will force the bug to trigger, so will the backup & restore program (that seems to runt constantly).
The fix would be to: FIX THE FREAKING BUG IN THE BACKUP & RESTORE PROGRAM, or simply delete it (which is impossible now).
Idiot SE.
Well, it seems mine is rebooting too.
I don't know how often... i just saw it once... out of the blue.
Phone was in standby when happened.
I watching tv and i saw the display turned on with the boot animation and then i figured out what happened.
I uninstalled the backup tool with Titanium. Let's see...
2 day and no reset,i am happy

[Q] Clicking an App takes you back to the main page

Have you ever encountered this phenomenon where, when you click an app it just takes you back to the main page. The app does not load at all.
Why does this happen? What is causing the app not load.
The only way for me to work around this problem, is to restart the OS. Powering down and then powering up again solves my problem. There have been no need for me to pull out the battery or use the Reset feature.
But it puzzles me what is going on in the back ground to cause this problem.
Marketplace is one app that i had problems with at times.
I just need to understand this problem. Cos i do not want to keep rebooting the phone to solve such problems.
I noticed this behavior yesterday -- specifically with the Marketplace App after my son had tried to install the Assasin's Creed demo. Seemed like the Marketplace was in a "hung" state at that point, which only an OS restart would resolve -- either that or waiting for the OS to fix itself, if that's possible.
You're not alone, and it's certainly something that Microsoft will resolve in their 1.1 update.
Honestly, this was such a minor issue for me, that I really did not pay too much attention to it, but it IS there, and I think it is an OS problem, rather than the LG Optimus' fault. How I fixed it was that I launched something else, like Facebook or Twitter ( basically something third-party ), and then pressed the start button. It seemed to resolve the issue for me, not sure what degree of success others will have.
The marketplace is fairly buggy and can cause you in some pretty irritating issues. I know Microsoft is working on it... with new servers and services sometimes getting everything right can take a bit...

[Q] Random restarts: how to tell cause?

Hi all,
My MS2 has been randomly restarting and was wondering if it (or Android in general) has a way to see what happened directly before the restart, or more helpfully, what actually caused it to restart?
It hasn't restarted on me while I use it, but seems to restart when it's just sitting around and hasn't been used for a while (ranges from 10 mins or a couple hours) - I know it restarts only by the vibrator going off a little as it boots back up.
The phone is running the stock ROM, and I don't recall installing any new apps recently that may be causing it (such as system apps or anything etc, but NFI really).
Any and all help much appreciated!
Edit: "vBulletin Message Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes." in before flames.
So I'm not going to read through pages and pages of posts to find one specific issue which may/may not have been asked etc.
mine restarts 4 out of 5 times i reboot, its really annoying
still dont know the cause, does it with both stock and argen2stone, so it seems like hardware
normally it boots properly when its cold
dont know if this has any relevance... but yeah
weird. im using stock 2.2 AsiaRetail firmware and i have never experienced such a problem - random reboots. perhaps you have some sort of very buggy software that you installed, or perhaps you tampered with something after rooting your phone (if you did)? in any case this is very odd, as it should not just reboot out of the blues. do check each and every downloaded software to see if that is the cause.
I don't have the same problem with UK 2.2.2 running on it.
But random restarts do exist when I was using Argen2Stone 1.8, so I don't think this is hardware problem?

actually, my phone was being pretty stubborn when i tried to root it. had to do a few battery pulls cos it never finished rooting, just kept spinning and spinning. Ive done factory restores with sbf's too, didnt seem to fix it?
I had reboots, but only very few. Not worth mentioning but it occured when I restarted the phone once. It seems to be faulty software.

u should have used one click when z4 didnt work. i tried z4 several times, and when it just didnt root i tried one click instead. btw it really is no hassle unrooting. just click unroot on z4 if that does solve the problem, try re-rooting it, but use one click instead. i believe ur set has the RageAgainstTheCage loophole sealed too

Yeah I suspect it might be a downloaded app (hoping so anyway) but I dont want to have to uninstall everything or try a trial'n'error uninstallation process as that will take forever.
I was hoping someone would know if there are logs that show kernel panics or last processes run prior to the reboot...

I was experiencing some stuck and random reboots when I was using 2.2 with my class 10 sd card, so I decided to try the 2.2.2 sbf, and it kept the same behavior, them i saw the thread about problems with high speed cards, and since i saw it i'm using the original card and experiencing no more stuck or reboots.

try using lookout security (free)...just to see if any apps you have downloaded are contain malwares. i also heard such reboots can be caused by external wifi scanning/searching apps.
Thanks I might try lookout and see what it says...is itself trustworthy tho?
Also I dont use wifi and have it disabled.
Can anyone else offer any further suggestions?

bump...anyone know if MS2 has kernel logs or sth to help me narrow down these random restarts?
I didn't meet with random restart problem at all. using uk 2.2. only once it restarts again and again, and that turned out to be caused by my battery.
sometimes when my tombstone is too hot (above 48℃), it will shut down automaticly to cool down itself. and my battery reports a wrong value of current temperature to system sometimes, then cool down mode will be startup and shut down my phone.

Type dmesg and logcat on terminal.
Also, download live dmesg and live logcat from market, they are bootanimations with live logs apearing on the screen. Pro version suports both at the same time.

Android Market problems on A500 as repoeted by some of the custom ROMs users.

Firstly congrats. If you're seeing this post, you might have already done so or are trying to flash some custom ROM, which is absolutely ok.
Rather its fun and satisfaction that you keep your device up to date if not possible through official means. Also for some good changes.
Unfortunately, its not completely flawless. There might be some issues which are covered in the further updates of the ROMs.
Among oother small problems, one major problem I faceed when I flashed a custom ROM (actually three) is that the Android Market failed miserably when I initiated it. There were horrible search results. Also the categories were not showing the apps which would otherwise be placed under them.
Fortunately, the Android Market site was open for me which was the last option for me to go on with.
The only solution I could find to this problem was a bit of patience and some really basic info about market.
I tried to re install all the applications that were previously being shown as installed already. Though they showwed "Installed" status but you can install them again.
After a lapse of almost three days, I tried to access the Market app and it was actually accessible with all the search functionalities and EVERYTHING running smooth.
A thing I would like to advise on is try not to wipe out all the data (the 4 wipe out options while flashing) from your device. It might, might help you not to lose data and possibly, the Android Market too.
Have fun.
I've been on a custom rom for greater than a month now and have not experienced any market issues. The only problem that I've ever had was wifi stopped connecting for me. But it was an easy fix. Sorry you've had problems... Perhaps something else is to blame?

Super lagging & freezing after newest fw upgrade

My S10+ becomes super lagging and sometimes freezing after newest fw upgrade (G975FXXU1ASE5) on May 22. Anyone having the same problem?
First thing i'd try if it was mine, if you haven't already, is a factory reset. Between Googles backup and Samsungs backup you can get it pretty much back the way you had it before resetting. I always make sure to do a fresh backup using both Google and Samsung first. Then Factory reset. Full restore using google when system asks which backup you want to use, use the latest one you just made of course, then restart and do the Samsung restore through Samsung cloud on top of Googles. I usually get all apps and Data restored without missing much. Home screens and widgets are restored. It's almost like i didn't do a reset at all. If it's still Laggy, then factory reset again and don't restore it. See how it works then. That way you're not restoring any App or setting that could've been causing your issue. It looks like you've been around here about 10 years so this all may be nothing new to you, but this is how i would do it.
Factory reset doesn't seem to help according to reports about rhis update.
Okay well flash in Odin and use CSC to perform a full wipe on the device... See if you still have the same issue. Consider Frija or Samfirm
People report it's something to do with the WiFi drivers, try switching it off and use mobile data to see if it persists

i dont really want to use the factory reset option because you wont know which app causing the problem.
im trying disabling app by app. so far i guess theres also something wrong with the fingerprint driver. i have a feeling the lagging always starts with fingerprint then it causes the whole system lagging and freezing.
maybe the optimize battery usage feature is way too aggressive? it freezes the fingerprint service while system tries to wake it up then it causes an endless loop and end up with a memory leak?? just blindly guessing so pls correct me if am wrong.

Workaround for this is to switch off WiFi as there is some problems with the WiFi certificates.
Use Mobile data for the internet connection and you will not face any laggyness or issues.

It was like that plenty of time, just for test i forgot my work wifi network and 3 hours passes and still works perfect.
BTW people with problem, do you remember in developer options if there was before this update option to enable hardware acceleration for modem?
Could you for test try disable that option and reboot phone, or enable if it was disabled...just a hunch..
I had troubles with google app not responding at all and whole system became extremely laggy. Disabling bixby all together fixed problem. Now phone feels smooth and responsive even battery life has improved.
I ve read on sammobile that a new update rolls out to fix the bugs. So you better check for OTA. I am still on april

the new fw (AES6) rolls out to my phone today. and looks like they got it fixed. no more lag & freeze so far.
I was hesitant about applying the new update for the May patch because of all the issues everybody with reporting. I've had this update applied for about 4 hours now and so far there's no issues at all. I wonder if it's affecting every device or just a few. Anyone know if the updated fix has rolled out to unlocked Canadian devices?
