So I have Samsung S8500. I installed android on it, and it hangs in stanby mode. The strangiest thing is that when Samsung is to connect to PC by USB, or charging it doesn't shut down. I installed Wake Lock, Load Monitor, still nothing. Really strange thing, maybe someone could help me?

Hi. There's no solution yet to this problem. The kernel is not yet ready to everyday use.
So you tell me that I can't even listen to music and turn the screen off?

No listening to music and going standby is not possible yet but the App wakelock worked for me (CPU on, Screen of option) to go standby and the phone doesn`t shut down (of course without music playing).
But please you don`t have to create a whole new thread because of this. on Shadow`s Tutorial thread he clearly wrote that Sensors are not working yet which causes the Shutdown-Bug...
If you rode the tutorial right, this thread isn't necessary.

Rode is the past tense of ride. Past tense of read is read only but Pronounced as "red".
As for the standby problem. Really it's the most common problem...shouldn't even be a problem if you read the tutorial as stated above.
I'm from holland, i don't have much experience with the english language yet.
Its still alpha it hasnt been completed....so u should wait for it.<>

Hello!
Guys it has been a week since I bought my ACE.
Since then it has itself turned off automatically twice.
Once, I was playing Grave Defense HD (Free version), I left it on for 15 minutes, came back, and the phone was off, and didn't turn it until I reinserted the battery.
I thought that may be it was because of too much load on the processor or the memory or battery.
Second time the phone was just lying with nothing ON, I picked up to use, but it was OFF again.
I haven't installed any update so far, so whatever the problem is, it has been there on its own.
Please help.
Also I have noticed that the battery has serious issues, like it wipes out in an entire day if used normally also if i is almost out of juice and you plug it in for just 5 minutes and then plug out, it displays that the battery is almost Full. I mentioning this battery problem to make sure that it is not just me, otherwise this might be the reason for automatic turn-offs.
Thanks.

A little hint, disable wifi sleep policy on setting. But if u not even using wifi when that "turn off automatically" happen, now thats another story

Does your computer recognize the device? Do you see QHSUSB_DLOAD? If so, its possibly equipment failure

You might need to contact HTC.
Hopefully you didn't unlock your boot loader because that voids your warranty. If you did you would know you did its not something you do un-ententionaly. As for auto rotate it could be you accidentally turned it off on quick settings idk if thats on stock but it is on mine but i have a custom rom. As for your phone not turning on try it being plugged into the wall it never hurts to try it has happened to me before if not I would suggest skipping T-Mo and going directly to HTC for advice as they know their phones the best. In addition if they only have a sending it in solution then I would contact T-Mo and tell them your issue. Then you could most likely take it into a store and get a replacement no problem as it seems your phone is pretty new. The phone is pretty new not as new but it never rules out the possibility for a bug as even older well profound technology still has bugs that can cause a major system crash. Happens to me a lot when flying aircraft. Hope this helps.

thank you sir , thats what I was thinking, A Bug .. or glitch
I even Try charging the battery in a dock or craddle and Didnt work..
And thats really weird, I bought the phone for christmas ,I had 4 or 5 apps installed, this phone is unlock cause I use a different carrier
Before taking off the battery, my charge was 90%
What I did exactly is, pull out the battery, went to sleep, wake up, placed the battery again......Dead
About rotation i know about settings and was not that..
My brother bought a second hand SGS2 (I9100), and it has some weird glitch affecting the battery reading.
Even though the phone is fully charged, when the phone goes to standby mode (sleep), after a few minutes, or seconds, it suddenly "thinks" that the battery is not charged, so it turns itself off. When you turn it back on, is says we need to charge it, but after 15 to 30 seconds, it reads the battery properly, and goes back to the right battery %. If the phone doesn't go to standby, then the battery glitch doesn't affect, it doesn't say it is not charged, and it can be used with no problems for hours.
I've reset it to factory reset, but it hasn't solve the bug. We have tried also changing for another battery (I have one as well), but is not that, the battery is perfect (both of them). We changed the ROM a couple times, also changed the Kernel and root it, but the issue does not go away.
Can anybody tell me with the info provided if it is a hardware issue (hope not) or if it can be on the software? I've searched the forums but didn't find others with the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us to figure it out.

While you're at there, resetting the fuel gauge chip a few times wont hurt either.

About 2 weeks ago, a guy reported a very similar (probably exact) problem.
After many troubleshooting, the problem was hardware related.

Dont wanna sound rude or anything, but s2 is still not a cheap phone (for most of people atleaset) , meaning,
when ur buying smartphone 2nd hand, the seller will have to agree on me turning on phone, playing with it for 20 mins, check everything and so on..
Display, RAM, everything, meet somewhere where is wireless so you can download android system tester off market etc etc
Because i am almost sure this is HW problem mate. I suggest you call him right away, and hope he still has the same number

Not rude at all! My brother review the phone, but didn't seem to have any issue at the beggining, started to fail like a week later.
We can return the phone at any time, is just that they don't have another one to give us right away, and most likely they'll take it for a review before we can get either a refund or another unit, so we wanted to explore all the options ourselves first.
I'm sure he'll be returning the phone soon as we pretty much ran out of options.

Thanks a lot Jokesy, you have been very helpful as I followed the thread and it is the exact same issue.
After a few days, the problem got even whorse as everytime is even harder to turn it on because it reads low battery. We can only turn it on, most of the time, through Recovery, as the key combination for Download Mode doesn't even respond. Sometimes doesn't respond at all. We just need to turn it on one more time to flash the stock ROM to return it.

Wow! then it is a hardware problem too. Since you said it will be returned, I think it's the last option too.

Please don't take this the wrong way but, thank God someone else has this problem!
I've done numerous Google searches and I've not found the problem mentioned by anyone else!
It didn't do it when I bought it but I'm not sure at what point it did start. It can go for a week or so with no problem and then it will do it randomly - sometimes twice a day (never had it more than 3 times in one day).
It happened twice yesterday but not at all today - today I've used my phone for internet, map navigation, playing music & multiple everyday apps.
I've not done anything with the phone since I got it, it was SIM-free bought in the UK.
Where do you keep it? I kept mine in my inside coat pocket and it happened. I now keep it in my bag and it's not done it since. I think there could be an over heating problem...

Yes, same here - everywhere! Locker at work, bedside table, trouser pocket....
Interestingly, I've also found that it's only when it is on stand-by, i.e I am not using it.
it could be that when off. the cpu drops to too low a speed and crashes. or u could be running out of memory. also check your storage space.

Total device space available: 1.4GB
SD Card: 29GB
1.4GB should still be sufficient surely!
However, interestingly, I thought everything except my Apps went to the SD card as per my set up but there's 776MB of pics/vids & even 5.21MB of audio.
Now, I can't for the life of me find how I can change my storage settings - anyone?!
Cheers.
try resetting it to factory settings (backup your files first) then observe..maybe there is a program or apps that causes the random shut off. if the problem still persist bring it to service if it still has warranty.
quick question.. do you have power saving mode enabled ? if so.. u could switch it on or off, to see if that does anything.
Also to get things of my internal sd. i use. folder mount, and link2sd. p.s. is your phone rooted ?
Hi guys, it happened to me at the very beguinning. What i did? i just rooted the phone, very easy 2 seconds. Then i downloaded Aptoide and download root uninstaller. I've removed all samsung bloatware and also several non useful google apps.. Then phone never turned off back again.
I hope to help you with my feedback. :good::good:

Not confident rooting the phone and not at the stage of willing to try a factory reset!
I'm not convinced that it's everytime but a significant factor I've noted is that it's common when there are app updates.
When I turn the phone back on, there is usually an icon at the top of the screen alerting me to an update.
shahaf-l, is this something you recognise?
Mine turned off and it hasnt turned on again, apparently its not charging the battery. I took it to a repair shop and they said is death, warranty was invalidated due to a drop I had that happened long before the fail ocurred.
Hope someone finds a solution. I will try charging the battery on a battery charger and try turning it on again, hopefully the phone is just not charging and thats why I can no longer turn it on.
Decided to leave the issue until a new firmware update came along as I had a feeling there could be one - there hasn't been!
However, my phone hasn't turned itself off for over a month now......

After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

Hi,
Something similar happened with me also. Last week I was using the phone and suddenly it slept from pocket and
fall into full bucket of water. Immediately after this I taken out my phone from bucket and saw that it was starting again and again.
Without wasting anytime I dis mental my phone and kept under hair dryer and gave heat so that all water can get dry.
It was my luck that when giving heat and assembling it. It started working.
Now it is almost a week since this incident was occurred. everything working normal.
Hope it should help you.

This afternoon I took it to a shop. The guy took the battery out, put it back in. Phone starts working. After a few hours same thing starts happening again. At least now I got a video and I can show to him tomorrow. I still don't know what the real issue is.
Indeed the power button contact was at fault. After fixing that (twice, because I managed to fill it with water again) I have a new set of problems:
1. The signal of both phone cards is awful. Useless 99% of the time. I see a lot of people have this issue
2. The security applications magically changed to chinese and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it back to english (this coming from a mandarin speaking girl I met on a bus)
3. I constantly get the message that I cannot install applications because I have no space available on the phone. I just run the chinese security app cleaner and it ejects 250MBs of garbage.
I guess installing a custom ROM might fix this? I don't know almost anything about ROMs and it is really important I don't brick the phone. My phone seems to alteady have a custom ROM. I have Vibeui 2.0. Do you have recomandations for a stabile and easy to install english ROM?
Thank you very much

On the third point, no space available on the phone, either you're really out of space (check it, due to weird partitioning of the internal storage, might be true, but if you are trying to install through Play store (and know you have some space left), there is a known issue with the MTK chipset and Google Play Services version, giving this error. My workaround was to uninstall Play Store (it will not uninstall, but roll back all updates), then quickly install/update apps because the Play Store will update itself automatically again (can't stop it). Very annoying, but it works... After I upgraded to KitKat, no more issues with Play Store.
