Why there is no Dell venue section?
I want find some root / flash rom tutorial.
I think we should have Dell Venue own section
Too few people get this phone. Considering the price/performance ratio.....
Notification sounds stopped working
Has anyone else had this problem? I got a replacement unit which played notification sounds for a few hours, but then for some reason, no notification sounds. If I do a data wipe reset and set everything back up, I get the sounds back for a few hours. It's driving me mad because they keep stopping every time.

Hi, I don't know if anyone else had experienced these problems, but I'm having strange sense force closes every time I restart the phone. It gives me time to put the sim card and screen passwords, works for about 30 more secs and then f**ks up... Same thing happens over and over even after a factory reset, I've probably sent more than 10 reports to htc already. On top of that, today - two more things happened: the clock on the top right corner next to the battery icon just stopped at 1:57 although the screen one was working fine. It started working again after a restart (and another sense force close), and finally - when I turned on the WiFi, the 4g icon didn't disappear, so now I have both icons in the notification bar...
I haven't tried to root it, neither have I unlocked the bootloader. It's the way I got it + several more apps. Anybody else having the same or similar issues?

Swap it out at tmo. You should still be in your 14 day return period.

First hour I had my phone it reset/reboot 4 times while I was playing with it. It was stock, didn't restore my backup from my Vibrant. After the 4th reset, I packed it up and decided to exchange it at Tmo. I then decided to do a factory reset. After that, the phone worked fine without any weird reboots. 3 days later, I downloaded the HTC software update. As soon as the update was done, I messed around with the phone and it reset twice on me. I exchanged it the next day. My new one works perfectly! Go exchange it!
I think I may have found the reason for the Sense force closes:

I was using Juice Defender Ultimate... Since the clock and the Wifi/4G icons are part of the Sense interface, perhaps this app is the reason for the other problems as well... What bugs me though is that my girl's Amaze is also running the same app with no problems whatsoever...
I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
Hello XDA,
Third day with my GS3, and I've already noticed and had to face on what could be a hardware issue if no one else on here has experienced it.
So I went to bed at 2PM this afternoon, phone is running absolutely fine its at 62% battery. I woke up at 5:30PM and the battery was 59%. So I started browsing my phone, I already had some messages so I replied to them, then I went on Emgadget. I revieved a text and the phone froize up, it just does this really really long vibrate for about 6 seconds, no notification sound and then boom.. it all comes back, the notification appears in the bar but the phone still does not make a sound. Its not just messaging that causes this blip, if the phone is in this state receiving any notification including a call will freeze the phone up.
I've noticed that during the time the phone is doing this, it won't make sounds while you type on the keyboard. Everything, like system sounds, will just stand completely silent even after the phone has resumed functionality.
After around 5-10 minutes the phone will just seemingly return to normal behaviour, I could be in mid-text and suddenly the keyboard start making noise again. Please somebody really help me with this, I do hope its software.
Just to note, this is not the first time I've had this issue today. I've experienced it multiple times in the past three.

I had a firmware update the other day, nothing worked. Thinking of downloading the software from SamMobile and reflashing.
About a week ago I saw the app/widget featured on the little sidebar thing, and thought it was such a cool idea. I updated to Epinter's CM 10.1, and for the rest of the night, I had no problems at all. The next morning, however, I started getting reboots. I then spent most of the day messing with apps and settings trying to fix it, until finally breaking down and doing a full data wipe. I eventually got all my settings back to the way I like them after having no more reboots, then all of a sudden they started again. That's when it hit me: it was only rebooting when I had active notifications! I uninstalled the widget and have since had no problems.
So has anyone else managed to get this to work without reboots? Is there a setting or something that I'm missing?
This is far from important, and I really like the other updates that came with the new rom, but I would still really like to be able to use this. Thanks!
Alrighty then. I had some issues with this phone, its a few years old but I just took it out of the box for my daughter a couple months ago. There was some problems with running out of memory, so I was going to do a hard reset and clean the thing up. BTW I had rooted it and used and uninstaller off play store to get rid of the crap verizon apps. Just the junk ones I deleted, like navigator, and kindle etc... nothing OS related I thought. At any rate, when I went to do the factory reset, it goes through the motions, gets to the congratulations your device is ready to use click next, after I hit next I get an error that setup.android has unexpectedly stopped please try again. The phone seems to boot, but there is no home screen. No way to access anything to see whats going on. Just the status bar on top. I've tried everything I can think of. ANy ideas?? Thanks
