Motion Sensor (Accelerometer) Failure Usually *is* a Software Problem

I don't know why the person asking about an accelerometer failure had their thread closed after a single response suggesting banging the G1. In fact, failure of the accelerometer usually *is* a software failure, and is usually fixed with a factory reset. I just went though this on my unit two days ago!

I just did a wipe yesterday to rid that same issue.

I am not so fortunate. My accel and compass sensors have remained non-working despite several wipes and re-flashes. Here is my thread, if anyone has any ideas for me.

And yes, the hardware is fine, as they both work great in pre-cupcake firmwares (RC29 and RC33), but not at all in any (ADP, JF 1.51, Cyan's mod, etc) cupcake build.
Any help is appreciated!

way to fix without wipe?
well is there? i dont feel like wiping and then reseting my settings from b4. the issue just happened when u updated to cyraogen 3.6.8.1 with the help of the download like from the kspec kustom threAD to get the rom update, theme, and htc music in one flash.

Fixed it! (All by my self....... kinda)

I should have searched his thread.... ran the script in the fq to fiv my issues.

Vibration Issue

Not sure anyone else has this issue.... At times i'll get an email and the vibration will not stop until i hit the end button. This can go on until the battery drains. Anyone else have this issue ?? Any fix ?

That has been the ONLY issue Ive had with my HD2. tagging to look for answer also.

maybe your phone really wants you to see the email

i have the same issue with text and emails

Stock or custom ROM's? Give us some info please.
I had this issue come up with a custom ROM about 2 years ago, had a bad download.
If you are running stock do a hard reset.
If you have a reg editor do a scan looking for "duration" I can't remember the exact location but there is a setting that tells the phone how long to vibrate.

Did anyone find a solution for this? I have tried the stock and my own custom rom, done many hard resets, and I still have this problem. I think its hardware related, but I'm not sure...any updates?

It happened to me frequently on the newest stock ROM. I don't know whether it'll happen on this custom ROM.

I'm running the stock ROM 2.13, nothing else on there phone other than some of the basic fixes. I have done a hard reset more than 3 times and the issue is still there.

Too many issues so few roms

3rd thread, about 4th rom flashed
constant issues with builds. have gone from stock to:
cm 6.1.3 -apps crashing, random crash notices i.e "phone book has crashed force close" - "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
cm 7 - random reboots, opening browser caused power cycle, wifi issues, lag (thread posted, no solutions at the forefront)
currently on tripnraver pre release. now another issue. no signal what so ever.
original baseband on this xperia x10a is .55. it is suggested to use with bands 52 or 49.
loading either of these basebands. which ive done. doesn't seem to fix the no signal problem. the description states should be backwards compatible even if appropriate bb is not installed on device. yet no luck.
attempting to flash either baseband fails to resolve this problem. currently trying to flash back to stock and try another full reinstall and baseband flash in flashtool.
any ideas would be a great help. having to flash x number of times between roms is getting quite time consuming
thanks everyone.

if you want to stay on the miui rom, you can flash the baseband patch located here and stay on whatever baseband works best for you (I'm on .55 and find it fantastic), then when you load the rom, go to dev tools>bad behaviour>crash the system server.

Otherwise, I would recommend wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3, as it is the most stable. You must have done something wrong during installation as I never had an issue with his roms.

The only issue I have ever had with any rom is MiUi and thats because I used the wrong baseband. You must be doing something wrong for you to be having problems

if you want, try this flash, it's trips miui pre-final with the baseband patch implemented.

worked with my .54 baseband

thanks so much for the links to the baseband patches. i remember coming across a thread that posted it but unfortunately forgot to book mark. so im definitely going to go ahead and try with the patch installed. hopefully all works well
each rom ive flashed has been done properly according to instructions. cache wiped, dalvik, and full reset as per menu options in xrecovery.
one way or another i experienced lag for the most part, and as mentioned some random crashes. never had reset on wolfs rom just error messages at times. trips rom worked excellent, smooth and quick. hopefully with the patch implemented everything will work flawlessly
thanks you guys
*Updated
Flashed over rom with baseband patch. signal working. everything running smooth.
except for when using camera zoom. zoom default displays 0x. as soon as the option is selected it spawns an immediate force close
any patches? or similar outcome for anyone else?
i will outline my steps below so everyones up to speed on how i performed this flash.
- flashed back stock in SEUS
- root with one click (success)
- installed busy box (market)
- installed xrecovery apk
- booted into xrec
1. full factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. wipe battery stats
5. install custom zip from sd card
6. selected trips rom with bb patch implemented
5. reboot

Camera zoom doesn't work in most ROMs yet and the lag you were experiencing was likely just the FW "settling" it can take a little bit and a couple reboots sometimes for the phone to calibrate itself properly.

thanks cmoney. maybe ill try my luck with cm7. give it a few reboots and hope for the best. great rom. im really loving trips iphonesque style
clean smooth and quick. everythings working great. hoping the zoom may get fixed soon enough. only other inquiry i have with regards to this rom is the apps2sd.
this feature is essential to myself personally. and it is not working as ive noticed on this rom. ive read a thread with regards to a fix for the last release. i checked the settings for an enable option in case the feature requires being manually set as active but nothing listed. within sd settings state reads as unavailable. if anyone has an answer as to whether this fix will function with the current pre release. ill be going ahead with completeling the flash and reporting what i find back on this thread.
thanks again everyone

Try Wolfbreaks rom. It's very very stable for me. It has cam and everything upto date.

im going to flash back to wolfbreaks updated 6.1.3 unless anyone can point me in the direction of a fix for trips rom.
the smooth and fluid feel of trips rom was brilliant. i am hopeful someone has directions for an apps2sd fix as i have flashed the build twice and the same issue has occured.

works for me on trips newest....

i just downloaded the new version 1.0
this is ridiculous. without the baseband patch. crash system server. no signal
now apps to sd is saying "apps2sd is not supported on this device"
this is an xperia x10, so obviously there must be something wrong here.
can anyone elaborate on exactly what to do about this because im going to attempt to flash back the rom, flash the bb patch right after, reboot. i assume this will only solve my signal issue. but this apps to sd is getting extremely frustrating and i can not figure out why it is not showing an enabled status.
- Flashed 1.0 with baseband patch - network signal resolved.
- apps to sd is STILL not working. and i really dont know what to do about this. everything else on this rom is perfect. is there something im missing? i came across a patch for apps2sd fix but this was for a previous version. would it be needed here? is there a setting that must be enabled first in order to start apps to sd as a service.
- as mentioned previously within the main menu, under sd card settings. message states "apps2sd is not supported on device" and on previous build would display "apps2sd unavailable". its simply impossible that the phone doesn't support it. as with every other rom the feature has worked. froyo would support it. the question is how do i go about enabling said feature?

I dunno man, it works fine for me, but I copied data from my 0.3.2 xrecovery image, so that might be why. try flashing that apps2sd fix for 0.3.2, should work fine

damn it. i just found that thread. found the links to the fixes. so far ive tried miui32_a2sd_fix.zip. and flashed that over with xrec prior to reboot. which did nothing.
there are two more links so im going to try those two flashes as well and hope that one of them will do the trick. if its working when utilizing .32 patches then ideally the bloody thing would have to work here. thanks for the input though dtox. much appreciated

I don't know what else to suggest man
From the feedback I see in the miui thread, everyone else is reporting it working!
Did you factory wipe, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache before install? then flash the miui 1.0.zip, and flash immediately the baseband patch then reboot into the rom.
Remember not all apps allow apps2sd so use something like android system info, go into the applications tab click on one, click manage and then see if the option "move to sd" is highlighted. Like I said check a few though, not all apps can be moved

i just replied in the dev section lol but yes i have gone ahead and checked the applications menu. specifically downloaded a file i have moved to sd on a previous occasion from the market.
nothing
the "apps to sd" selection is completely greyed out. no matter what application i click on or download. i did a full wipe, full install, and selected the apps2sd fix immediately after rom and bbpatch flash, prior to rebooting. issue still remains.
we'll see i guess. thanks again dtox

Try it again but without the fix...

i did that to it doesnt work i get the same message displayed
i tried with fix and without. another thing to note is that the rom itself says it should work with a different baseband as it has elements of unified. (which it doesn't) i had to flash the bb patch to get signal.
im not sure whats up with this but until i figure it out for a certainty ive flashed back over to wolf breaks rom. hopefully something will surface and i can give trips rom another go.

No idea man, like I said it is fine for everyone else so I'm so no big development will arise that will make it function with your phone....

maybe it has something to do with 10a. i dont know. but the point is it shouldn't even be doing this regardless. hypothetically if its froyo and it has apps2sd built in. it should work. its not the way ive flashed. the phone supports it. so my only conclusion the rom must not be as compatible as stated. and from reading different posts about the prev builds sometimes the patches worked at other times they didnt. and also the fact that the rom is claimed to work without the need for a bbpatch. yet without the patch instaled phone caught no single. i guess certain unexplainable glitches can be bound to happen at times but any how ill give it one last go.
if nothing comes out of that then im giving up on that build because it seems relatively hopeless.

lol I'm using an x10a...
Still man you're the only person reporting this. Don't you find that strange? What baseband are you using anyhow?

[Q] U8800-official 2.3.5-rooted-random reboots

Updated to official 2.3.5 rooted, added back the pink screen, not done much else except installed a few apps.
Getting random reboots while phone is sleeping. Never happens while actively using phone. My phone will be on my desk and next thing I know it restarts.
Anybody else have this problem or found a solution?
I need to find out if it is the rom or something else causing the problem so I can start to troubleshoot it.

Turn OFF wifi when you're not using the phone. problem solved

If not work try this :
Goto CPU menu -> smartass v2 and make low and high cpu speed settings to 1 ghz.
This will also increase Battery life and must fix random rebooting.
Other way is clear caches and install rom again.

Loureiro:
I'll try turning off the wifi. It sounds like a highly likely solution since: 1) I've only seen my phone at home 2) I always turn wifi on at home.
Is there a specific reason why wifi is causing reboots? Maybe something I can find a fix for?
technogod:
Don't have custom kernal installed, so I can't alter the CPU parameters. Wanted to make sure the phone was stable at stock before changing the kernal.
Speaking of which, what's the most stable kernal for overclocking the 2.3 stock rom?
I'll try clearing the caches as well.
Thanks.

The wifi bug is known fault with the .35 kernel found in the official upgrade. hopefully it will be fixed next week fingers and toes crossed. I am not sure if any of the kernel dev's have found a fix yet.

Without cpu parameters, only way i am found that : clear three caches with clockwork and reinstall your rom. It's working on stock roms or custom roms. I think, this is not rom problem. There is different something. Cache clearing solves problem. Resetting problem started on my phone when i start to try other roms.
I am using miui 2.2.3 now and i will setup 2.2.10 version today. While using stock rom, i have some resetting problem. But now, my phone working without self-reset.

Service Provider Update after Root

I have followed the guide to flash the unlocked firmware and root my S7 Edge (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145) and all has been working well this weekend. This morning my phone gives me a persistent popup notification about a service provider update and "my device will restart to configure features supported by new sim card." The only option is to press ok and allow it to reboot. I cannot use my phone while this notification is active, and I am unable to kill it in any way. When the phone reboots to recovery, the configuration fails with "dm-verity verification failed". I then reboot system or power off and the endless cycle continues.
Has this happened to anyone else, has anyone figured out a way around this? I think I can reflash the firmware and start over from scratch, but this is of course not ideal.
Thank you for any help you may provide.

I wasn't getting any notifications however i did have some strange behavior going on and rebooted only to get the dm-verity verification failed and was no longer able to boot it would just sit at the Samsung splash screen I then had to factory reset re-post and re-setup everything, hopefully your experience won't need that since you are still able to boot!

Thank you for the response, it's always nice to know someone has had similar problems. Looks like I will have to try reflashing the firmware. After your re-setup, did you do anything to prevent the issue from reoccurring?

Everything is again in working order. If anyone finds this and has the same problem, after flashing the Verizon fixes the phone is identified (in the about device setting) as the SM-G935V version again and is set to download updates automatically. I unchecked this option and I hope this should prevent it from happening again.

Not really wasn't sure exactly what happened the first time but thankfully (knock on wood) ??? it hasn't happened again.

I encountered this issue today and found a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/whats-package-service-provider-update-t3425169

This happens when you install the xPosed module xTouchWiz. Generally it's perfectly fine to use. HOWEVER DO NOT CHECK THE DISABLE DVFS BOX! This is what causes this!

Going to have to disagree with you there, I have had DVFS disabled since I've rooted and have never seen this issue. I should say though that I'm on the international firmware, so maybe it's something with the Verizon firmware?

This has been my experience, as well as a few others. I'm not 100% sure it's that setting in particular, but I am 100% sure that it is caused by a setting in xTouchWiz. I had the issue once before, and it was a clean install save for xTouchwiz and me running through all the options. Since then, I've limited the choices in xTouchwiz and have not experienced the issue since. When I have some time I'll run through it and see if I can replicate the behavior again, since I'm working on a ROM.

There is a simple fix...
I agree, XtouchWiz drops a bomb when installed and it will cripple your phone. I never played with DVFS, I personally though it was the disable TIMA that set it off. An easy fix for anyone who stumbled on this. Power off your phone, remove the sim card, power up your phone, freeze a service called AutoPreconfig, power down and insert sim, good to go.
