Random reboots

Hello, I've installed the Virtuous Galaxy rom on my Iconia and have now encountered a strange (possible) bug.
When I wake my tablet up, I can see that tthere's no Wireless connection. So I go into Settings to make sure the wireless is connecting, then my screen goes black and the flashing ANDROID appears. It's there for a few seconds only and then I'm back to the lock screen with no wireless.
I left the tablet alone to see what would happen and it just cycles through the lock screen & 'reboot'. I can't connect to wireless to download Ti Backup so I'm guessing a full Wipe & re-flash is in order.
Does anybody have some kind of idea as to what could be happening??
Please don't tell me i have to re-flash, my boyfriend just clocked Cut the Rope!!

What's clocked mean ? And are you on the latest
Kernel

This is not a problem with the galaxy rom as I was experiencing the same issue on the early release 3.1. I fixed mine by disconnecting from the wireless network (must be quick to access settings and disconnect before the tab reboots) then forget the network and power cycle your router..you should then be able to reconnect without the random reboots. Hope this helps

This is not an issue with the galaxy rom. Check your wifi settings as mine is set to always on. Also what kernel are you using as the random reboot issue was solved from unity v3. Sounds like a bad flash to be honest. Always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing the rom.

If the kernel I'm using is wrong, what kernel *should* I be using? I've never had to fiddle around with kernels before.

This worked like a charm; thanks!

Can anybody tell me what kernel I should be using?
And is there a decent reason to upgrade from Virtuous 1.0.1 to 1.0.2?

Honestly take a look at the rest of the galaxy thread it will give you a indication of what problems to expect.

Gsm voice calling now enabled without issues (GT-P7500) Deodexed roms /cm9 /cm10

Here is how to to enable gsm voice calling for GT-p7500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31254809. Thanks for tomula for giving up the solution and for the op who created the zips

To my mind the tab 8.9 has gsm calling enabled by default.

While on tab 10.1 not

Please note the statement on the top of the pages of gsmarena.
Really I do not recognize why Samsung did that, is it the ipad imitation issue.?
What bothers me more is why not a single developer could port it to the p7500 though it has apparently the same hardware as the p7300?

Both tabs 8.9 and 10.1. Was able to make voicecalls (the prerelease versions ) but samsung removed this feature on the retail units. So the problem exists also in 8.9 not only us. But gsmarena forgot to update their info

Screen turning off cancels call.
Pretty amazing that i'm able to make phone calls using my HUGE 10 inch android tablet.
But is anyone having this bug where during a call, when the screen turns itself off (due to inactivity) all sounds are muted and the person of the other end can't hear u? I've turn off the "Auto screen off during calls" setting, but this still happens.

I've tried Tomula's description too, using pershoot's CM9 build. I patched my framework-res.apk respectively, flashed the modem. I was able to make a phone call, BUT:
1. I couldn't hang up. No idea why, but the big red hang-up button just didn't do anything.
2. I couldn't call the tablet's phone no. It would ring on the calling phone, but nothing happened on the tablet.
3. Same screen-off symptoms.
I tried both modems (Smithsonian's and Tomula's), but there was no real difference. I did notice for both of them that the battery would drain quicker for some reason. Didn't investigate that yet. Went back to the p7500 radio, and battery drain's back to normal.
I think we might be well on our way to finally get phone calling, but we're not quite there yet.

I just used Mobile Odin to flash the modem.tar.md5 from the stock ICS
Edit: Little update. I retried the whole thing again, using the XXLQ3 modem. After installing the modem, i booted the tablet without the SIM inserted, and after boot inserted the card again, turned flight mode on and off, and call-in now works as well. so basic phone functionality does indeed work. Don't have a BT headset handy right now, but will try that as well as soon as i can. I'll keep an eye on the battery drain again.
Edit2: Well, it's weird. I've gone home earlier, and guess what stopped working... phone call inbound doesn't ring/activate the phone app. Phone call outbound cannot be hung up. The only difference to the working state was a different location (ie. different GSM cell) and wifi network. Rebooting/Reinserting SIM etc didn't have any effect. So, basically the phone stuff can work, but its not reliable at all.

How many updates are there for Nexus 7 3G out of the box

Can I know how many updates have you gotten out of the box and do you know what each update are?

What a weird question
I got one, from 4.2 to 4.2.1 which fixed the calendar bug..
I think you may get it delivered with 4.2.1 since it's available for a while ^^

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I'm asking this weird question because I've got 2 updates out of the box which I found weird and I did not keep track of the versions before the updates. According to my knowledge there's only the 4.2.1 update to fix the calendar problem. Could it be regional problem? I got mine from Malaysia.

I don't know exactly what was preinstalled on my N7, because I got first OTA update the moment I turned it on, and it got updated to 4.1.2
Then I got OTA 4.2, and later on 4.2.1
So I guess it came with 4.1?
All together 3 updates so far. (I got mine in November, few days after 32GB was released).
I guess you just got one of the older ones, it doesn't really matter how many times it got updated.

Hmmm, maybe it was 2× the 4.2.1 update.. That's what happened to me, got the 4.2.1 notification, updated, it rebooted (with everything normal, so no error message or whatever, it "installed" the update like normal), but was still 4.2 and reloaded the 4.2.1update

issak42 - I got mine last week. Yours is the 3G version too? I always thought 3G version came with 4.2 but I might be wrong.
fushla - Thanks for the info. I think mine was a similar case to yours. After my first "update" I did check and it was 4.2. And I am pretty sure it's already 4.2 prior the first update as I was able to rotate my home screen which, to my knowledge, is a feature of 4.2.

Does your TF300T turn on when you plug in the charger?

mine does which i think is strange. I was just curious.
Thanks,

Actually it does not.
I thought every Android device wakes up when connecting the charger. All smartphones I got my hands on did. Though this can be disabled
Not it does not turn on. You may wanna check in settings if there's something to enable/disable it (don't know whether you're using a custom rom or not)

Every Android device does unless you modify the Android. Policy. Jar. I think that's the one. However my galaxy S3 doesn't turn on running Cm10.1

Well I guess since I cant unlock the damn thing ill have a hard time changing that file. My phone doesn't do it but ive had a custom rom on it for so long i dont recall if the phone turned on when i plugged if in prior to rooting it. However, i dont have a custom ROM on the TF300T nor do i see a power setting so i guess id have to edit the file somehow. Seems silly to me since I'd like to keep it shut off to charge faster but as soon as i plug it in on she powers up from being completely off. Annoying.

Yes, mine does.

[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.

I thought you found insects in the screen or something.

How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!

I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.

I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself.
