Recently my phone started acting a little unusual. For instance, composed email weren't being sent out while syncing and a wipe and reflash seemed to fix it at first. This problem continued to get worse and at the same time, I started getting SD card ejected notifications seemingly without reason. Now it's to the point that my phone is completely unusable/useless. IF it boots all the way up, it will lock and then just go black. I have to remove the battery for some time to get it to turn on again. This includes loading the SPL and the Recovery interface. The ONLY way my fone will act semi-normal is if I remove the SIM card and boot it. Then eventually it will again just shut-off. I have reverted back to an older SPL with no luck (was using Haykuro's latest one until now). I have loaded multiple radio's with no luck (after reverting the SPL of course). I have tried multiple ROM builds, JF's, Cyanogens and Haykuro with no luck. This really sux. 4 month old fone and seems the radio might be fried. VERY disappointed in the quality. I hope I can get some help and warranty the phone. I am thankful I unlocked my old Blackjack and am able to use it for now. Just though I would share my tale of woe. I am not sure exactly what caused this. Maybe too much flashing? Not sure, but be aware; I feel like maybe I played too much with my phone. That last part REALLY sux cause I love my fone. I LOVE that I can play with it and install all of the great ROMs and themes. Anyway, best of luck to all you Dream owners. I hope I dont have to buy another one (cant afford it )
My fone is not bricked it just seems unstable in every way. Sad day 4 me
[UPDATE]
Before I made this post, I turned on the blue LED (holding trackball and power) and just let my phone sit there. Didn't really have a good reason to do so other than 'why not?'. Anyway, shortly after making this post, I couldn't just leave it alone so I picked up my phone again (I really do love it that much lol). While holding it and just thinking about my less and desirable situation, I noticed the back of the fone was warm like it is when you've been using it for some time. I couldn't help but think that the blue light was indicating that "something" was going on in the background so I just began pushing the buttons on the front and no specific way just randomly and all the sudden my fone rebooted. Sorry I can't say how long it was in "blue light" mode.
Now everything I had experienced and read concerning the "blue light" indicated the only way to get it out of this mode is to 1) remove the battery or 2) let the battery just die on its own. So you can imagine my surprise when the fone just rebooted. It booted up (no SIM inserted) and seem to be fine, but as I mentioned before, this had happened only to lock up and reboot itself. I just began using it as much as I could to see if it would fail again and it seemed to keep going fine so I thought "why not insert the sim again?" So...
With SIM inserted, the fone booted up fine. Again I began to put it through its paces and everything is good so far. Makes call (too late to have someone test call me), browses, downloads market, basically everything with no lockups and no reboots leaving all keys unresponsive. Damn I was happy! But not too much just yet. I'll let it keep going for sometime to make sure it's good, but I can't help but to think that putting my fone into "blue light" mode somehow "fixed" my fone fo lack of a better word. I am perplexed but pleased. Will update later after some decent testing time has gone by. I remain hopeful and regret my earlier comments regarding the fone's quality. I hope I remain regretful of this lol.
Interesting. Can you tell what EXACTLY was on the SDCARD when this happened?
lbcoder:
When this problem first happened on my phone I had folders containing my AppManager backups, ringtones, NES ROMS, camera pix and video files. It's the SD card I always have in there. I don't use apps2sd. I thought maybe there some problem with this card so I tried 2 other SDs I have with the same results; instability. I even tried a clean build with no SD card (as well as with and without SIM); all with the same results. I tried every possibly combination as a form of troubleshooting.
When I put it into blue light mode, the SD card that was installed contained DCIM (pix), appmanager, mp3s, video files, 2 different radios in .zip form (radio 1.22 and the sappire radio; neither with the name update.zip), .footprints folder, ime folder and that's about it. Did u have something in mind?
BTW, I wish I could edit the name of my thread to show there's an update...
The Blue LED has some other purpose and is simply not a "lock". That just seems silly and useless, especially since you'll find if you put it into this 'mode' it will drain your battery fairly quickly for a 'lock' mode (like 12 hours).
There's more than a 'lock' going on here...
I agree. It's doing something in the background other than just being a type of "lock". I'm don't want to claim that it fixed my phone because I have no idea what it's doing when that little blue lights is on. I am saying that it seems a little more than coincidental that my fubared fone (my feeling at the time) began to "magically" work after putting it into this mode and its subsequent reboot. I am really glad I did.
No amount of: fastboot erase "partition name", data wipes, radio/spl/rom flashing helped my fone. I was going to try and get warranty today, but now I don't need to. Back running ION and happy as h3ll! Maybe this will help someone else with a fone that refuses to function correct. Maybe it won't, but I definitely wanted to share my experience with it.
BTW, I was running Cyanogens 3.4 JF mod at the time this began. I understand some other people have had some similar issues as seen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525306
These problems are very similar to what I was having, but mine seem irrecoverable even after flashing EVERYTHING. Just food for thought...
I wonder if it found one of those radios and did something with it?
For that thread, Cyanogen has stated that the main issue is in the kernel. The memory killer kicks in and kills essential processes thus result in a crash. He stated that he's looking into it and the fix will likely be in 3.4.1 or one of the iterations after that. I'm not sure if your suffering from the same thing though. None of them seem to have the same symptoms as you do.

This is why I stay on Google Ion. It's clean, stable and fast. All these "optimized" builds seem plauged by bugs and quirks.

Interesting thought. But it would have to have parsed the file and made a determination on its own as to whether or not it was a valid radio. Neither were named update.zip at the time. Also, I had already downgraded the radio to one of the versions that existed in file name radio_1.22.zip that was on the SD. That allowed me to downgrade the SPL without bricking because at the time I was running Haykuro's newest SPL (which I have since reflashed to my now functioning fone).

Actually I described pretty much the problem quoted below that is in the thread that I referenced earlier:

Can someone please help me..
I installed Cyanogen 3.4 when it got released a few days ago and it was running smoothly.. I think he is a genious. Just today my phone shut off on its own and I had to take the battery out and put it back in to get it to come back on.

So I guess it could be open to interpretation. I think Cyanogen does amazing work. I have great respect for him and all his efforts that have given us more functionality with our Dream fones. As I said, it's food for thought. I'm not drawing any conclusions as they would be based on conjecture.
I am intrigued by the blue light mode. I really wish we knew exactly what purpose it serves.
I am trying to dual boot WinMo and Android and having some issues with Android. Hopefully somebody has got this working on the Rhodium. I got it booted, but I can't access data, make calls, and its stuck in landscape mode. Can anyone help me with some tips, or settings changes?
Edit: Got the landscape issue handled. When I call I can't hear nothing, so I assume the hardware install failed. I can text, so I have service. No data. Any suggestions or help?
The thread says there are many issues with TP2 AKA Rhodium.

I'd be interested in this as well...
I know it's frustrating, but you're just going to have to wait around for awhile. The developers are making progress, but it's still very slow going, especially with sound. Most hardware doesn't work at all, and the working hardware sometimes doesn't work properly.
For data, make sure you're using a kernel later than kernel 4, which is the kernel where data support was added. (links and info about the latest Android build can be found in my signature, called "Rhodium Android"). Also make sure you've manually configured an APN or use a new userland (system.sqsh) that has automatic APN configuration.
If you can find it, try using Kernel 13 for built in speaker in phone call support, as Kernel 14 (in the latest packages) displays oddly (though otherwise works). If you're using an earlier zImage (kernel) and don't want to upgrade, you can use the front speaker workaround, where you call your voicemail, boot with HaRET, and let it automatically hang up. After that workaround, the front speaker works with phone calls on the earlier kernels.
Hope that answers all your questions

simple enough! Go Here and then download the android 2.1 files once downloaded place to root of sd card after a fresh format. then make sure you copy BOTH startup files for the rhodium to the sd card (not sure if you need both but thats how mine works) and boot
I have full 3g and calls just no sound, wifi, bluetooth, gps but i havent changed the zimage in a while so dont know if there is a working one or not.
I ended up getting XDANDROID from another thread, and it seems to work quite well. The data, sound, and orientation all worker immediately. The only thing is that the apps from Marketplace won't get out of Starting Download, but I looked it up and that seems to be a common issue with the Android Marketplace. Thanks for the help!
XANDROID is awesome.
I just can't get it to shut down. I wonder if there's some trick to get it back to Windows Mobile without restarting the phone?
I am interest in this too
but looks like have to wait a bit for testing
thanks to bring this up

You have to restart the phone, it's simply not possible to do otherwise. The misconception is that HaRET/Android simply run along side Windows Mobile, when in reality, HaRET kicks Windows Mobile out of RAM, then loads the Linux kernel and eventually Android. You're essentially restarting your device into Android when you use HaRET, so you must restart in order to load Windows Mobile again.
Does anyone know specifically which version has working speaker (for playing music, etc?) And also, what is the proper way to get the apps on the SD card to install? I move them up one folder level as I read in another thread is necessary, but when i boot into Android they are still not showing up in programs list?

To answer both your questions:
There's no build with the speaker working for music, games, etc. The front speaker is working with phone calls, but even those builds don't support the back speaker doing other functions. The developers are working on this, but so far they haven't gotten it working yet.
There should be a folder on your MicroSD card called AndroidApps, and if there isn't, create one. Then, place the APK files you have into the AndroidApps folder and Android will install them on the next boot.
Looking for some advice/help. I got my wife the Evo Shift a couple of weeks ago. Her phone has not been rooted and other than a few added apps the phone is completely stock. The phone reboots on her 4 and 5 times a day. She does not have any kind of task killer installed so that's not it. She plays Angry Birds a lot and uses Pandora quite a bit. I have also installed Sound Manager for her. Other than that I can't think of anything that would be helpful for trouble shooting. I have searched here and through Google and have not seen any info of others having this problem. I am not sure if I should root the thing or return it to best buy. I have the Evo and previously the Hero and am no stranger to rooting or custom ROMs. Just really did not see the need to root it since my wife has no idea about any of that. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
root and install nfinitefx's or mik's rom; you'll have less trouble than if it was stock.

That's what I was thinking. I am a little worried its a hardware problem though. I guess I could always flash back to stock and return it if that doesn't fix it.
hell return it ya got nothing to lose but a headache

Not yet. I did get some more info from my wife though. It only happens when she is at work. And she says she get some sort of "radio error". I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the building she is in. She had my hero for a couple months before I got her the shift and had no problems. It had CM 6.1 running though.

im running mine stock and rooted and dont have any problems with reboots. sounds like a app is probably screwing something up
i had a similar problem with one of the streaming media apps i used to use a month or so ago i cant remember the name but for some reason if i lost signal it would crash the phone and need to be rebooted
i took it off and installed tuneinradio and it worked better anyways
My shift was rebooting itself 3 to 4 times a day, I just rooted it and it seemed to stop rebooting itself for a day. Now its starting to reboot itself again, but not as often.
I am almost convinced its a hardware problem. Sounds too rare to be anything else. Maybe bad memory or something.

I had a freezing issue with my phone which people suggested possible due to pandora and bluetooth. Perhaps you have the same issue?
Anyway, try to find "bluetooth for automotive" settings for pandora and turn it off.
I wouldn't recommend rooting your phone if you think its broken. You might just end up breaking it further and render your warranty void.
If you can't fix it, get sprint to replace it.
i dont need a signature
This may be resolved by now, but I got my shift previously used. When I first activated it, I was getting some radio errors and I could not make calls or send sms messages, but the email worked fine. I contacted Sprint customer service via chat from the website and they did something from their end to fix it. I had to turn off my phone and she said now wait till I tell you to turn it back on. I waited 5 minutes and when I turned it back on, everything was fine. So I would take it in or contact Sprint and see what they say. As for not sure if you wanna root it for her, I would definitely recommened it, she doesn't have to take advantage of all the advanced tweak that some use but it will just make the phone a lot smoother and easier to use. IMHO.

Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go ahead and root it. After keeping an eye on the situation its seems its only happening when she is at work. I can't imagine it will fix it but I think its worth a shot.
I think I fixed mine. I tried to use navigation and it kept force closing, that was strange because I've used it before with no problems. I googled around and found some info that if you had another text to speak engine in your phone then uninstalled it without setting it back to pico as default it would cause nav to FC, which is what I had done. So I set it back and checked "Always use my settings" in the Voice section of settings, nav started working and the reboot issue went away for the past 7 days.
I don't really know crap about phones and most tech stuff for that matter (heck 99% of what is said in these forums goes over my head) but I think why this fixed it is either nav or some app was trying to use pico or something and when it couldn't the phone would get an error and reboot itself. I may be wrong (probably am) but maybe she deleted something or changed a setting some app needs and that is causing her problem. Hope this helps in someway or at least gives you another direction to start checking.
Hello my name is Xan Steel. I've been trying out roms on this forum for my Epic 4G. However I've run across a lot of bugs in this rom "ACS ICS V6". I would love to be able to post them in the development thread pertaining to the rom, but since I'm under the 10 post limit to post in a dev thread. I would like to ask how I go about doing this the correct way without breaking forum rules.
Thanks in advanced
Xan Steel
Tell us what your problems are here.
1st you have to have 10 post. Go to other threads and comment on stuff like the off topic forum. Then you should be able to post on dev threads. Or you can pm them and let them know.

Well as Neckberg has said to post my issues here (Thanks) I shall.
[ROM] ACS ICS V6.
Where to began.
I came from ACS SyndicateFrozen 1.1.1 I could never get 1.2 to run. And this ROM was based on GB. Really wanted to see what GB was like. SO after installing the ROM. Everything started out normal (no issues at that point). It was sluggish which made me wonder if Carrier I.Q. was still in the ROM. It wasn't listed that it was removed.
SO I started trying things out. Everything was going good until I turned on the Wireless WiFi Tether. It crashed outright. Tried again, and crashed. It would open to a black screen and then crash. So I did some digging, and apparently this is a known issue. So I got a different one from the market that worked (Open Garden WiFi Tether).
I installed Opera. I like Opera for it's desktop mode that actually works over Dolphins. I would type in a address, and hit go, and it would act like its going, and then stop and remove what I had typed. Tried again, and it would load a blank page. Tried a third time, and got the HTML header to load the page in a text format. Uninstalled and reinstalled same thing happen. So I left it alone, and about 3 hours later it had uninstalled itself/completely missing on the phone and market stated it wasn't installed. Rebooted phone, still gone. Not idea where it went. After reinstalling it again. it would do the same thing.
So I flashed and wiped X3. And reloaded the ROM. Thinking I have a bad load.
reinstalled all my apps and even though Opera is still doing it's thing I mentioned earlier, it hasn't uninstalled itself... yet.
Now after the reload of the ROM. Last night I lost cell service (couldn't make calls) but I had data. Which was odd to me. Rebooted the phone, and same thing. Had data but not cell service. After about and hour or so, I have cell and data back together. Maybe it was someone working on the tower in the area at 11pm, or maybe the ROM decided it would be funny.
Another thing I noticed. If you hit the menu button to pull menus in apps and on the home screens. They are white on black. White text and image, on a black background. Now if you go into any sub-menu from the main menu, its black on black. You can't read anything unless your lucky to have a bright white page behind it, so that it can try to bleed through some of the transparency.
The battery icon when charging in portrait goes from normal to skinny (blinking), while in landscape mode it goes from normal to fat (blinking).
Also two music apps is not really needed. One is fine. Trimming down on unneeded apps would help save on space. Also remove Carrier I.Q. if it hasn't been yet.
Adding that super brightness, is actually bad. Not thinking about it, it's actually crashed the video HW of the phone. On a plain white screen at max brightness, it starts to artifact, and if what ever your trying to do doesn't complete. The video HW crashes, and you get a pretty rainbow on the screen until you pull the battery. Basically acts like a dying or dead video card in a PC. Also it can (and has happened to me) cause screen burn in. If you want a image of it let me know and I'll post one.
Also Rom Manager does not recognize any ClockWorkMod Recovery, if you manually install the recovery yourself.
If I find anything else buggy I'll post and update here.
Thanks
Xan Steel
Phone: Epic 4G
ROM: ACS ICS V6
Recovery CWM 3.1.0.1 purple
Note, I haven't tried this rom myself.
No, carrierIQ is not removed on this rom, nor has it been removed on any GB rom that I know of. Still, removed or not, it won't make any difference in the performance of the device.
Any apps that you fine are useless can easily be uninstalled, even if they are installed system/app folder. Rom chefs correct attitude about roms is that they build for themselves first. I personally have 3 music players installed.
We don't have official Rom Manager support so that will be an issue on pretty much all non AOSP roms for the epic.
Your lack of service issue it probably a carrier issue and not a rom issue.

It's a good possibility since it only happened the one time, but since it is a beta, and I'm using it for the first time. I felt it needed to be brought up just in case it wasn't. Heh beta tested a lot of new software, and got into the habit of reporting everything, even if it looks like something else is the issue and not the software.

Hey,
My phone started acting up after 1 month of upgrading to gb 2.3.6. My wifi and bluetooth wont turn on and my phone constantly reboots. I used CWM and did a full wipe. and flasehd the darkside ROM. Still i have the same issue.
Does anyone know what do I need to do to get my phone working?
Thanks
A friend of mine has the same problem, Im pretty sure thats a hardware issue already. !
running gb 2.3.6 #4 - still no wifi/bluetooth
Having the same issues. Does anyone know if wifi and BT share an antennae?
try flashing a differnt radio? for your phone specs

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue... I have been having this problem myself, and have tried flashing many of ROM and Radio's since it has reared it's ugly head - all to no avail. The WiFi an Bluetooth do share the same Broadcom chip... maybe there's enough of us experiencing the problem that we can collaboratively order a dozen of these things (they only seem to sell in bulk).
Had the same issue, ATT had to replace the phone.
Any more news on this issue?
Same thing happened to my Atrix last week (Bell, 2.3.6, locked bootloader, unrooted).
Same here
Same problem on my original Atrix, which was replaced under warranty by AT&T six months ago. Recently my replacement Atrix has been having the same problem. Wifi won't enable and frequent reboots.
Although the phone should still be under the 1-year warranty, AT&T refuses to honor it because the screen is cracked (so much for Gorilla glass).
After getting two phones with the same problem, and hearing about countless others having the same problem, and getting screwed out of the warranty, this is definitely my last Motorola phone.
EDIT:
The "fix" that was originally posted here doesn't actually work. I'm almost certain that this is a hardware problem. As of now there is no software fix, if one even exists.
Check this thread for more info:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/0c2f1387d6
I recommend that you post to acknowledge you have the same problem.
i tried the script and it tells me "oops... did NOT find wpa_supplicant.conf! any help?
cafe. said:
I found a permanent solution to the problem. It was probably more obvious than I originally thought it would be. This is probably what will fix it if you recently ran some sort of 3G tweak as it probably damaged/corrupted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. Before I get started with what what problems my phone was having:
-'Wifi Error' message when enabled
-Random reboots when trying to enable wifi
-Bluetooth worked fine (and if you are having issues with bluetooth it may be due to a similar bluetooth related file having problems)
-Impossible to fix by flashing new roms, wiping/factory reset, and virtually every other possible thing I tried
So, just before giving up, I found something called 3Gturbocharger--which can be downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021 REMEMBER: IT'S 3GTURBOCHARGER, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER SIMILARLY NAMED FILES.
Now, the value of the script isn't really in the "tweaks" it provides, but rather the easy way it provides to reset the file of interest (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). Run the script using "script manager" as root, once you've done this you'll be able to run a feature within the script called Wi-fixer. Run it and reboot. The problems should all be corrected. You could also try to manually navigate to 'data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' and simply rename it to whatever you want (as the script does), at which point the old file will be replaced by a newly generated one.
I'm assuming that in your case the bluetooth equivalent of "wpa_supplicant.conf" was corrupted. Possibly /data/misc/bluetooth/dynamic_auto_pairing.conf or /data/misc/bluetooth/incoming_connection.conf. Worth a shot trying the method I described on those files as well. Try it out, you've got nothing to lose.

im getting that to
My Atrix wifi stopped working in the past, but started working again. It currently stopped working once more, giving me an Error if I turn it on. The Bluetooth has never had issues and still works, I am a month past warranty but with unlocked BL it doesn't matter anyway. This seems to be a slight issue with these phones unfortunately.
I could live with the phone without wifi, but the constant reboots are unavoidable. I notice that when I originally boot the phone, if I use it and keep the screen on it works, but as soon as I turn the screen off, it reboots. Odd to me.
Ya I have the Bell Atrix myself and I'm still on Froyo because of complaints of GB. (especially battery life) Maybe I'll do ICS, but I'll wait for some reviews since its not that easy to go backwards as say my OG SGS...

Run the script using "script manager" as root, once you've done this you'll be able to run a feature within the script called Wi-fixer. Run it and reboot. The problems should all be corrected. You could also try to manually navigate to 'data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' and simply rename it to whatever you want (as the script does), at which point the old file will be replaced by a newly generated one.
