Looking into this and it appears we still have no right to get rid of annoying /system/media/ files in 2019. 2019. This seems unbelievable to me that I should be cursed with a carrier boot animation that plays an irritatingly loud jingle before anyone else rises in the morning.
Am I the only person turning off his phone at the end of the day? This inability to choose a .qmg in 2019 is hard to believe/insane.
Have you ever heard of airplane mode? Same as turning it off, but without really turning it off...
I turn off my phones once a day. I don't like charging them when they are on.

It does not play a sound if you mute the system sound. Just mute only system sound and you are good.
I also don't like the animation from the phone service company.

I actually downloaded one the other day. I wasn't able to even download it without simultaneously finding a new ota update for my phone in my notifications.
Now I have this 3.7GB download saved (it is a prior Firmware nunber now, ending in 5 wheras the new ota update's firmware ends with 6).
One thing though holds me back from flashing it in the future, not knowing if the new phone will be able to get ota updates if I flash it.

What, you turn off your phone at the end of the day? Hahaha, I remember this was the thing like 15+ years ago, even I used to do this when I go to sleep.
I guess you are the only one person doing this.
But I agree, music from the boot is hella annoying, while I used to the Nokia tune, I just hate from other manufacturers. I believe LG had option to turn it off in the settings?

You'd still get OTA updates even if you flash new rom. Also the version you downloaded is probably an old one. Download the one with September security updates (as for this date it's the latest). You must download unbranded one not the one from your operator they will work as long you have the same model.
Yeah, seriously what a boring boot animation Samsung has got.

Changing bootanimations in 2019, seriously?
I think you all misunderstand, I have a dang carrier boot animation which is not just saying "samsung" or something. And I would like to not have to see it (and in the unlucky case that I accidentally increase the ringer volume above vibrate during the previous woke period, hear it). At any rate yes I will turn off my phone and my wifi router though I am the only one considerate enough to do this in a world full of people who basically are zombies staring down at their phones, and not believing in science which will explain radio frequencies and testing which will show that radio frequencies do something.
All the zombies walk around, all day like, there's no internet infringing on my personal space right now.
And yeah you can shut your phone off and miss the call. Miss the alarm too. Quit your day job. Get your pink slip. Tell them all to **** off.
....soo......did you flash the stock firmware or not ?

at&t 8525 owner, here.
So, I've had this issue for a little while now after I flashed Shadow TE ROM. But it's continued since then... so here's the issue:
I go into work and turn the phone onto vibrate. After I leave work, I switch back to sound on (ring & vibrate). Even though the icon shows the sound is back on, it's not. It only vibrates. It acts as if the speaker is still asleep.
So for awhile I'd have to reset my phone every day to get it working again until I realized I can go into sound settings / notifications and I find that the phone's jumped back to the default ringtone and more than that, I have to literally push PLAY to test the sound in order for the speaker to "wake up" if you will. Then the phone's fine until the next day.
Ok so back to present:
I got fed up and thought it was Shadow TE. So I flashed CRC's v9.2 ROM. Still had the same speaker issue! I was advised to flash a shipped rom.... which I did.... and flashed CRC's v11. Issue still remains.
I've searched the board and could only find one other person make mention of this a couple years ago and no one ever addressed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Same problem here with a custom Titan ROM. Installed the same software as every other ROM that I've used so the problem must be in the ROM somewhere.

Could be... but why does no one else seem to have this issue? Wouldn't there be tons of people replying here?
I did find that instead of switching it to vibe when I arrive at work, I switch it to silent... and SOMETIMES when I go back to Sound it works ok for a few hours but then it goes back to silent without warning so I miss calls and texts a lot. Might as well force the sound back on through Notifications Menu anyway. I'm SO getting away from Windows Mobile ASAP.
As soon as the Blackberry Bold is released here in the US, I'm buying it.... unless something about it disappoints me, in which case I'll settle for the iPhone 3G. The Bold can't come soon enough.
Who would like to claim this Hermes when I'm through with it? What are you willing to pay?
Try making sure that your ringers are in the windows\rings folder. Saw it somewhere else and it seems to be working.

Don't know what to tell you then. Make sure you're not running any 3rd party software.
Hi,
Couldn't find anything in the forum, but it could be detailed a 100 different ways...
I'm having a problem where my x10 won't come out of sleep properly - it doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for it to be super annoying...
Basically I cannot get it out of sleep - the screen will turn on, but without backlight, and without the ability to interact with the touchscreen. to get out of it, I have to pull the back off the phone, and pull out the battery.
So in short, I'd say the digitizer and the backlight frequently fail (together) coming out of sleep (everything else 'works')
Anyone else had experience with this issue?
P.S. I'm not rooted.
Happened like 2 times to me, I leave it for 1 min and press again and it works.
No big deal.

Normally I need the phone there and then, but worth a try waiting... I just upgraded to the latest FW, so hopefully it's the last time it happens...
Thanks!
Hmm.. tried the waiting option... left it for more than 10 min, and all it did was stay frozen and drain my battery...
Might try a full re-flash
Strange. I thought a Firmware upgrade would have sorted it. Do you have any apps installed that may be relevant, a lock app or anything? And did it do this from the moment you got your phone?

It started happening fairly soon after I got the phone... couldn't say when, but it's now happening really frequently - at least 3 times today already...
I don't have any apps I could pinpoint, although I'd guess it would have to be something I installed fairly early on.
Strange that it's getting worse though.
Hmm, it seems that this has happened to a few other people online, but mostly with HTC devices. Do your hardware buttons (at the bottom) wake it up differently at all?

Yeah, the HW buttons wake up fine (at least from what I can tell) but they're basically useless when the phone is stuck on the lockscreen
I did a full re-flash last night, so hopefully that fixes it...
It had better since all of the backup programs I had faith in failed me completely... man I'm annoyed... have to spend a bunch of hours putting everything back on my phone and setting it up again.
So, I'm on my second a500, first one seemed "off", bad battery life, random shutdowns, etc.
now, I understand some issues are fixed with the 1.141.07 update. I desparately run the system update check like a teenage girl waiting for a boy to call. But no dice.
Is there any way to legitimately get the update?
Seems like people were being updated last week and then nothing...... (crickets chirping).
I'm still not very impressed with my second unit. screen on/off thing drives me crazy. I dont think the battery should be draining when in standby. etc.
I know that nobody here works for Acer, so dont flame me. But if I can;t get a reliable android tab, I think I may run back and get an Ipad2 instead. I have had an ipad 1 since release, and I guess i'm spoiled to only needing to charge the thing once a week, and I use it heavily.
I really want a android tab though - I'm a big google person and love having all my stuff in sync and connected. But I dont like having to live next to the power outlet, or wonder when my unit is going to randomly restart. I'm sure there are others in the same boat.
My first one runs great, just bought a second one at Costco with the fabulous deal they have. I have no battery run down issues. Auto brightness, Wifi, and gps all on....except when in for sleep mode. I turn on Airplane mode on and off through a downloaded toggle widget.
I've been using it periodically for 3 days and haven't turned it off. Even started a new book with Kindle. Still have 55% battery.
I'd say you are running a bad app which is the culprit. I bet if you go back to stock reset you won't have the issues, other than sleep without airplane mode.
...and no, we are all waiting for the update or 3.1, whichever comes first. I need it for Exchange, everything else is pretty minor.
I guess I should have mentioned. my first unit, I did a factory reset and ran stock for a couple of days, and still had the same issues.
This new unit is pretty much stock, and only thing I have installed is Flash, Kindle, and File manager HD.I have it running in airplane mode, wifi set to turn off when the screen is off, and screen brightness at about 10%.
I charged it all night, I have used it maybe 3 times today (since 6am), just to browse a couple of sites, and @2:30 today the battery was already @ 40%. it has been in standby most of the day.
I find it hard to believe that 2 different units could perform so poorly.
I really want to love this product, but haivng a hard time doing so, lol
The thing you described should be fixed with the 3.1 update...be patient.

I too am waiting for the .141.07 update. Seems I read that Acer had pulled the updates. Still check every day. I like my tablet and have not seen battery issues with very little standby drain.
The only issue I have is that the WiFi keeps disconnecting. I have checked the advanced settings and it is set at always connected and I have tried changing the channel on my router (suggested elsewhere) but once or twice an hour I have to bump the WiFi to get it to work.

yup, did that on both units.
so, I made it 12 hours today on a single charge. I only used it 3 times to browse the web for about 5 min (no flash), and I wrote an email and sent it.

I have a build 1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7. A new tablet and it's registered from today so they probably update them by batches because there are no new updates.
EDIT: But it works brilliantly apart from the crashes when I've installed any app. I've fixed that but it would be nice to be bug free.

You are lucky. There is a update from Acer here for your build. It will take you directly to 1.141.01.
You need to unzip it using this post and then move the extracted update.zip from the decoded.zip file to your external sdcard and then do the update key sequence (volume down and power pressed) and you're done
Thanks. I'm updating as I type this.
I just hope that it will update properly and that I won't have any problems with rooting and or bricking my device or any problems that I've already solved.
I come from Desire so I'm used to wiping my phone first so just updating is a new for me. I would also feel better if our bootloader would be unlocked.
EDIT: Updated OK. Root pending.
EDIT2: Rooted and disabled phone.apk
The phone now works perfectly and is updated.

This is an official update so it will either update or not if the checksums are wrong or it cannot binary patch a file. So no chance of a brick.
It works OK. The only thing I've noticed is the longer boot time.
The android screen takes a minute longer probably because it's building files.
I'll check logcat when I have the time and patience to mess with it some more.
I didn't know that the update would just fail. I was expecting a brick because I was reading some posts about people bricking their tablets. I guess I was wrong.
Feedback from Acer Support re Updates, Etc.
According to Acer tech support, there is no way to force the new firmware update or Honeycomb update to the Tab. You just have to be patient and wait for the Tab to update itself.
As we know, lots of people are complaining about the screen turning on/off/on/off by itself, resulting in battery drain. These complaints are well-publicized and easily found using search engines.
I first purchased a 16gb Iconia Tab. I called tech support about the flashing screen and reported it as an issue. After speaking with customer support, they emailed me a survey asking about my user experience with the Tab. I completed that survey and again noted the problem with the flashing screen and battery drain.
The new firmware update that was pushed to the device solved the flashing screen issue and improved battery life.
Then I bought a 32 gb Tab and experienced the same flashing screen/battery drain issue. I called tech support (to see if I could obtain the firmware update for the new Tab). Amazingly, tech support told me that they had never heard of this issue. I told them to search their knowledge base but they insisted this was the first time they heard about a problem with the screen.
I know that cannot be true because I called them twice about this very issue, and gave them feedback in their on-line survey.
Anyway, I expect that the screen problem will be resolved when the firmware update gets pushed to the device. Unfortunately, on my first 16gb TAB I got the firmware update the day after I opened the box. I'm still waiting for that update on the 32gb Tab after 10 days.

I had this issue. It's because of the wifi. My screen would turn on and off randomly and it was because my wifi was on my place where it had bad reception. I turned it off and the screen didn't light up anymore.
I didn't test if it also occurs on the new firmware.
I upgraded to latest 2.3.5 last month or so when it came out had no problems until last week that started ramdoms reboot like once per day and while booting back up starts playing this song ringtone for like 6 long ass time lol. Annoying. It stops like after 5 times and I really don't know wtf is this. Like a virus or some lol. Oh I forgot. First time it did it phone came up on safe mode. Says safe mode down left screen. And playing stupid song. After that I rebooted pull out battery and came up to life normally but stil playing the annoying song. Any idea? No root it. Stock rom uk version I think. In att usa

Same problem on Samsung stratosphere. Except no safe mode. Hopefully someone can give us a helpful answer soon. If I wanted to root, I would have.
I have a Moto G4 Play, I believe it is XT1607, purchased straight from Motorola. I'm running Squid's CM with the stock kernel. Overall it works great, but I have a minor annoyance: when I first turn the phone on from being completely off, the time and date is always completely wrong. I mean off by MANY hours and minutes (like I don't even know where it gets this time from), as well as like 20-30 days. Obviously this isn't much of a problem since time syncs with my cellular network after the boot is complete, but this still bothers me slightly. Every other phone I've had kept the time accurate even when it was off. Is this a ROM issue or a G4 Play issue? Anyone else experiencing this?
*Note that I don't remove the battery when the phone gets turned off.
It's nothing tho. Connect to WiFi or use the latest ROM
I have the same problem in my Moto g4 play. Any suggestion?
It's tied to your Recovery. TWRP goes off whatever the hardware time is. My phone was initially in Mountain or Central time, but even with it set to Pacific Time it's off by several hours and minutes. The only way to fix it would be to modify whatever the heck smartphones use as BIOS/CMOS.

Maybe this is something Moto removes as a result of unlocking bootloader. There's no possible way this glitch exists on stock firmware.

Well, I would gather that the clock applications (CM has two) would be storing that information either in the memory space directly or not at all. That's the only way I could see that file being recreated on boot. As far as I can tell, phones don't have button cell batteries in them, so don't ask me how the Recovery manages to keep time.
