[Q] My LG P500 "silent" every 2 days! Why???

Dear all,
I've used my LG P500 for 1 month. The 1st 3 weeks was okay. The past 7-8 days an error occurs. Every 2 days my phone automatically turns on Silent mode (with vibration) and does not accept mp3 files in sdcard as ringtone. The Sound mode is only active if I pick the phone's stock/original ringtones. Everything is okay if the phone is restarted, but after 2 days it becomes Silent again!
What happened with my phone? How to fix this?
Do you use any app similar to Tasker ?

You meant task killer? I use Advance Task Killer, but not set auto-kill. Can one of the installed app conflict with the Sound setting?
No,no. Tasker is an app that allows you to set your phone to do anything at anytime, anywhere. It is a very complex piece of software.
The first thing that comes into my mind is to do a soft reset.
It happened that I found out the reason! Today my fone became Silent again. Then I uninstalled PowerAMP. After that, the fone turned on Sound mode. I'll wait for another 2 days to confirm if P.AMP conflicts with the sound setting. So strange!
I use poweramp and I don't experience this.
Glad you solved it !

It's useless This time it became Silent (with vibrate) after only 1 day! Maybe there is a problem with my rom or a conflict between 2 else apps. Hix!
BTW, I rooted the fone and remove some default apps (Music, Map, Dual clock...) of the stock rom, and then unrooted the fone, will I be able to perform a hard reset to regain the stock rom now? Or I have to root again and flash the stock rom?
Anyone help me with this?
I don't know, but u cann try
Just reflash the rom that you are currently using

I flashed void yesterday, and this morning my fone has the above problem again!!! It seems that rom upgrade cannot help
Might there be any error with the fone's hardware? Or with the sd card? Besides, I still can execute apps, play music, read prc, pdf... on sdcard as usual.
I think its a certain app you keep using that is enabling the 'silent mode'. Try it for a few days with just a newly flashed and basics, like sapps, gapps applications and see if it still changes.
i think u are installing a buggy app,
try using the phone for 2 days without installing any app after fresh reflash.
I flashed the orginal rom this morning with no additional apps installed. It's still ok by now. Will wait for 1 more day b4 changing to a custom rom. The stock one is so laggy.
u can find the culprit(buggy app) by trial and error method and move it to recycle bin for good
been using void delta for 2 days without errors. Glad that it's not hardware problem ^_^
seems that one of the app I used enabled the Silent mode.

[Q ]When go in sleep = reboot

Hello
sorry for my english.
When I'm not plugin with the usb power connected, I've got a stranger behaviour very disturbing.
When my device goes itself or by on/off push buttons in sleep, automatically it reboot itself.
So, if I let him alone, the battery fall down very quickly, and I have to wait the rebooting before to use it.
I've read something which could help me here, but not enought : "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184852"
. Do you think, it could come from Avast?
. I tried different ROM official and no unficial, sill the same. The thing strange, and after a official instal, the behaviours has desapear until i reboot.
Archos 80 Gen 9

In advance thank you.
A first solution : airplane mode
Bonjour,
I've found this solution http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=53186
Put your device in airplane mode. Go in sleep (black screen). Push the ON button. Remove airplane mode. It's working! I don't know why?
It's not efficient for me. I have to know why, and how to solve it!
If you restart your device, and the WIFI was activated, you have to do it again.
Let's see what happen in the few day.
It has worked only one time.
In fact, if I let Avast make a scan or i let a music player, every thing is all right.
I do not understand what's happen....
decrase the Brightness
Nop
Thanks you for this answer but it didn't work. I decrease the brightness but same behaviour.
Mine has done the same thing. It's annoying. Just won't wake up, have to reboot. On newest FW too.

Mine's bone stock. Haven't done anything to it yet besides the factory firmware update. Was about to start rooting it, but haven't yet. About to hit up your thread to get that going. I DID have it airplane mode today, as I was on an airplane, hit the button, came right up. There's something to that...
Add
Thanks
To add some information -
I have done your procedure : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456875
. Step 1: Gain temp root - OK Every works corectly (I only used the original post from Paul's root)
. Step 2: Enable SDE and Permanently root your tablet I do not did the last step below :
15. Turn off your device again and boot back into recovery
16. Select Developer Menu > Remove android Kernel
17. Accept warnings (MEDIA & APPS WILL BE UNAFFECTED)
18. Reboot. Your device will now boot the rooted edition every time

. Other thing, my archos do not seam to be rooted : When I'm trying to use titanium, it explain that it should be not rooted.
I've changed the method to the right one. Check my thread

No
I tried 3 times. but still the same behaviour.
After a reboot or after that I install a appli, same behaviour. Very supprising.
Do you have any idea?
Cool
Trop bien!
It seams that the v 3.2.80
which have this correction : Hard drive based products: avoid suspend/resume issues happening sometimes
correct effectively those wrong behaviour.
I will confirm you next week that it's "SOLVED"
I'm trying this update tonight!
I like this tablet, except the damn sleep of death, which I JUST had to go through to boot it up to check the firmware version. If that gets fixed, I can permanently replace my Acer A100. It is the most annoying thing about this tablet. I do have a 250gb G80. Hope this does it.
So far so good, wakes right up. Need to let it sit for a bit and let it idle awhile.

You could do a factory reset, that helps many times. Type *2767*3855# in the dial pad. Backup important files first.
Thanks. Will try that.

After updating my GT-I9100 from Gingerbread to the official ICS 4.0.3 ROM I experienced random shutdowns as aforementioned. I also had the screen freeze and become unresponsive. Screen unresponsiveness only occurred the first two days, random shutdowns occurred for about a week. After a slew of additional app update notifications and subsequent updating, I no longer have the shutdown problem either. I originally upgraded through Kies on 4/20/2012 and by around 4/27/2012 I no longer have any issues. Btw, I'm on ATT in the U.S. and my phone is not rooted.
I did a factory reset and i noticed some things:
Self shutdown occurred only once.
The phone touch is considerably faster than gb.
The screen visuals are more vivid (i think thats because of my current wallpapers)
The apps load times are also faster, but the camera takes some time to load.
Tl;dr
I dont regret the hard reset but the shutdown happened once only after that.

Bad news... Shutdown twice this morning, after going into lock mode(click power button)
One thing i noticed is that he takes toooo muuucchhhh to boot when holding the power button when this hapens, so i have a theory that he actually doesnt shuts down, rather it jus wont turn on the screen. Im going to try to replicate it and send some kind of warning to one of my apps, or mail myself.

Indeed, it is not shutting down, but not waking the screen. This is known as the "sleep of death" (SoD) and has been discussed in dozens of threads already.
Usually caused by undervolting with values that are too low, but also occurs on some peoples phones when they are completely stock.
Changing kernel can sometimes help, or if you already have a custom kernel loaded, changing your voltage settings to be a bit higher on the 800mhz step.

[Q] Serious Unknown Issue

Please watch video as attached in zip file.
My phone suddenly switched off during normal usage mainly when I made a call, use whatsapp and many more stages. I made this video after first switch off then after every time I switch it on phone goes to some stand by mode or switch off. I had used miui rom 4.1.2 and now xonami 4.1.2 unofficial rom, but still no change. Only after I reinsert battery, the issue resolves for couple of days only
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO BEFORE IGNORING THIS THREAD :'(
Have u tried using another battery? I suspect your battery cant hold it voltage anymore or maybe there is short voltage burst?

[Q] [HELP] S3 Automatically Turns On when plugged in

Hi everyone
Last night, when i plugged my usb charger to my S3 since it was drained, my phone suddenly turns on without hitting the power button,
I tried turning it off, then plugged again, the Grey battery icon with progress showed but then i was hoping to see the battery icon with green color (the usual icon when it is charging) instead it turned on.
I tried, installing stock rom, Official one, and everything is ok, phone doesnt turn on
Tried clearing cache and dalvik, same turning on happened
Tried installing a fresh ROM, still it turned on after plugged in
Can you help me guys... It doesnt affect my phone, but its quite annoying.
Thanks guys

Simple, expand notification bar, then switch to rapid settings screen, here you find offline/airplane mode(depends on translation), the one with the airplane icon, after you enabled this all networks(cell net. Wifi bt ecc...) will be shut down, you can re enable wifi if u want to surf web , i suggest you to reboot the phone sometime(one every 1 or 2 days).

That is not true. I have never experienced such an issue on any rom I have flashed, I also did a quick search here on xda and cannot find anyone else with this problem.
@cgren
Does this only happen on one specific rom?
Since it does not happen in stock it might be an option in the rom/kernel you have chosen but since you have given no information I cannot check for you.
