[Q] Shaking Problem with my Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Every one
I'm having a weid issue with my phone I already search the forum and a few threads appear but nothing that could help me....
I flashed a ICS rom a few days ago... and my phone started to shut off when I shake it or something that could move it hard and sometimes it just shut off doing absolutley nothing...
At first I tought it was a kernel problem or a bad flash problem so I returned to stock with Odin and the problem stills there... When Im on Recovery It also shut off from any kind of shaking...
I change battery with some friend and my battery is working just fine.. when I put my friends battery in my Vibrant still shut off when shaking...
So my question is... could be a software problem? or is it a Hardware problem?...
Any help would be awesome!...
Thanks guys! (sorry for my bad english )

you need to put something inbetween the battery like some cotton or something to keep it in place your battery is falling out of place even though your cover is on

This is my initial suggestion as well. Try it out and let us know how it goes. Hopefully it's a simple fix...if not, come back and we can move forward!
Good luck!

I messed with one that if the top left corner of the phone got tweaked just a little (can happen in your pocket) the phone would shut off.
Thought it was very strange, tried everything with it. After googling and reading I found that it was/is pretty common and I never found a solution.

Does Downgrading back to 1.6 or changing the battery solve the overheats and restarts

Not gunna go into much detail here. I'm sure most people have heard o the motherboard bug which causes the sony ericsson to over heat and reboot as soon as it is turned on and things like that. This problem only started for me when I updated to 2.1. Would downgrading to 1.6therefore stop the reboots because I never got even 1 before. Would changin the battery to a diferent one stop overheating o the battery. Maybe there is a battery specialized or this. Maybe a mugen battery would work? Help greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
I dont think so, i had the same problem and tried everything, last thing was getting the new one, and now i can do anything, and no reboot, i think u should go to SonyEricson and tell them about your problem, they will give you back your phone for about 3 times, then when your problem still persist they will give you a new device or they will change motherboard,
Good Luck (and sorry for bad english ^_^)
Out of Warranty Cant be bothered to explain why. Getting it repaired would cost a lot. CoulD I repair it myself?
your best bet it to use advanced task killer app
sent from my X10 using my wicked awesome premium xda app
I do use that app but 90 percent of the time I cant get my phone on long enough to even think about using it
have you tried reflashing the rom, via repair option on SEUS, or even Flashing a custom rom?
sent from my X10 using my wicked awesome premium xda app
yep didnt work
has anyone tried the downgrading or battery change method that can enlighten me as to wheether it will work or not. Or at least significantly reduce the reboots so I can actually use the phone

Yes i think some thing inside the rom could help. One of my friend have X10 with mainboard bug like u. But as i sure in xrecovery it never reboot even you flash a rom sooooo....it should be something inside the room or kernel
sorry i dont really understand what you want me to do :S ????
just downgraded to 1.6. Still rebooting but not as much. Not every minute anymore. It like every few minutes. Im at a loss here there must be something I can do. Warranty and paying to change the motherboard is not an option
I had the same problem, tried everything but my phone only worked when I was using it in cold places, or in front of a fan. The problem started to become worse gradually, it started playing games, then in a few minutes of light use... and then every minute. Had to flash to stock rom in front of a fan to use the warranty.
You cannot do much, unless you use the warranty you'll stand with a dead phone for now.
Isnt there a way I could like open up my phone and do something to it to make it work? There must be something out there that will work.
what if i put the phone and battery in the freezer for a day or a few. maybe it could at least stop the overheating for at leastt a few days? i wouldnt mind doing this every few days

It will work for a few minutes, once your start to use the phone, the battery will start to heat, and then it will reboot once it reach its threeshold.
I highly suggest you to try to repair it in any sony center, or at least check the price to fix it. As far as I know, you can't do anything to at least remedy it. You won't be able to use your phone well. I experienced it and tried everything it came to my mind to at least use the phone well for a few days before I gave up and sent it to the repair center.
Out of warranty and would be like 100 quid to get motherboard replaced. (sorry about caps lock) there must be something that no one has thought of
Of there is of course a problem with asking for solutions that no one has thought of....
Sorry for the cheap shot. I do have sympathy as I have the same issue, although to a much lesser extent. Got a new battery and it made no difference. Went into a phone shop today and had a chat. Although I was not 100% convinced about the guy in there he showed me another X10 that smelled the same as mine and he said it did reboot. Anyway for £15 he says he can reflash the stock ROM using a special box. He seemed convinced it was software related so I may give it a go. It is very strange that I can put the phone into xRecovery when the phone is rebooting and it is stable.
However I think your best bet is to sell your phone and get another. Not sure how much a spares/repairs X10 goes for but I can recommend the ZTE Blade as a good, cheap Android phone with a strong support over a MoDaCo. If you do this you should not be to much out of pocket.
dont really want a different phone. Lilke I said there must be something that someone knows :S
if theres no solution anyone knows, does anyone know where I can buy an xperia 10 PCB so I can dissassemble my phone and change the PCBs myself
Get insurance and lose the phone.

[HELP] Phone wont turn on

Okay so hope this is the right spot to post this....
My phone about two hours ago was on working fine. At about 30% bat...
I took a nap and now when i plug it in to the charger it will not turn on at all.. only thing that happens is the LED blinks that orangy color over and over...
If i remove the battery and put it back in.. still nothing at all ever comes on the screen.
After removing the battery and while plugged into the charger if i hold the power button it will vibrate once and thats it...
not sure whats happening.
I was on gingeritis 1.0 and everything was great up to this point.
any ideas??
Let is attempt to charge for a while, maybe 2 hours. Then see if you can power up into the bootloader. See if that works.
I had that happen once as well. I just let it sit on the charger for about 15-20 minutes, and it booted up with no problems after that. In my case, it looked like the battery was just completely dead and needed to build up enough juice to last until after it booted up.

Ditto, try pulling battery out for 5-10 seconds, put the charger. It will not blink, then it will flash orange blinks let it sit for some 15. Minutes. Remember that TB takes alot of juice to reboot sometimes 5%.
STAY AWAY FROM ALL GINGERBREAD ROMS
My phone got stuck on the white htc screen this morning all of a sudden without any perceivable reason at all. Luckily I was able to restore to a backup.. BUT... It wouldn't install any new roms on my phone anymore for some reason.. they all get stuck on the white htc screen.
My advice.. GB is f&&&ked somewhere deep down.. and which is probably why it isn't officially released yet. Keep off of it if you don't wanna brick your phones.

That's a sign of a hardware failure I had a bad touch screen and once it went out it wouldn't boot past the splash, I'm sure it's similar with other hardware failures so it's a bad device not the gingerbread roms
Atleast that's my opinion

I had this happen to just a few ago.
Picked up the phone and screen was off,Normal, I hit power and nothing.
Pulled battery, went bootloaded mode recovery and wiped and loaded bamf.
I have all the roms on my SD now.
Serious now, that was the second time I loaded th3ory.
The first time, I went to uninstall something and when I hit uninstall the button started flickering wild.
I kept mashing uninstall,I got it to switch to the next screen where you hit ok.
Then got a pop up over and over, phone force close sorry.
Pulled battery and went recover and loaded bamf.
So th3ory came out with v4 I thought ok why not.
Then I had the dead phone problem like you are talking about.
I don't want to bash any dev or Rom but I'm not sure about th3ory Rom guys.
I posted because this just happend to me and many post are talking about battery.
I don't think its a battery problem guys

For one all GB ROM have the data load issue when trying to uninstall. Second, if it was a issue, more people would have reported it.
Titanium Backup, a App you use in every ROM, CPU setting to low, not wipe to save some time, a multitude of things could cause you a issue.
In my defense, if it were my ROM, it would be heard.

Dude. Stop bashing the GB dev Rom. You run the risk of bricking with any Rom. Plenty of people are using GB and the 2.5 radio with no problems, myself included. If it docent work right on your phone then put something else on it. Not every phone is going to react the exact same way to a flash. Your always going to have those few exceptions, even with OTA's.

Not good advice at all.
Check your charging cable! I just had a bad cable the other day and my phone was doing the same exact thing... light bliking on and off. I found if I plugged it in and then lightly pulled it half way out the orange light stayed solid, but it took some work.
Before you start freaking out, just try another cable... hopefully its not the connectors inside your phone.

no need to get your panties in a bunch.. My advice is only worth whatever it is.. (which may be nothing too).. and I am not thrusting it on anyone to follow it.
Where the hell do you figure I am bashing devs??? The more time one spends on xda the more you come across these noob "police figures" who go around poking into unrelated stuff getting all worked up for nothing.. Like I said.. it is probably something to do with how the alpha gingerbread works at the core level which is causing all these problems.. it has nothing to do with devs.. and look around you.. plenty of people are reporting the same. I didn't see anyone complaining when devs reported the same with the earlier GB and asked people to stay away from it. Were they doing it so that they can bash other devs who had their GB roms out before they did? I don't think so. So quit shooting from your hips and move along.
If the led is blinking it means the phone is totally dead. If you let it sit the light will eventually become solid and be fine

Problems with Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

Hi
I recently bought Amaze. Pretty awesome! I was all happy and clicking lots of pictures and stuff after which I decided to root because of the battery problem. Never mind that all good. But yesterday I randomly opened up the G-Sensor settings in display and I noticed some lag in the movements of those bubbles, I was confused and I knew this isn't how those bubbles move. I downloaded AndroSensor to check if everythings alright. But it wasn't I think there is some problem with my Accelerometer and Gyroscope :l those number besides the Accelerometer and Gyroscope keep on changing even if the phone is kept on the ground without any motion. If someone has experienced this or has a solution to it please help. I really don't want to ruin my experience with this phone.

I would just say get it exchanged man. I haven't had any issues along those lines and rooting shouldn't have any effect on those sensors =/
I also got probably a similar problem with the accelerometer. The phone began rotating the pictures as well as application windows absolutely wrong, unexpectedly and may say randomly.. and it isn't rooted yet..
P.S. I decided to go for the factory reset..
Now re-installing and re-setting all my operational environment
Anyhow the G sensor seems to resume its duly performance.. ))

Try and get AndroSenser from Market and let me know if the accelerometer values keep on changing even if the phone is kept on a surface with no movements.

Well my Amaze also has a prob with the g-sensor. it doesnt work at all there is no auto rotation , nothing. i have just had the phone for 2 days now. any solutions?
Try removing the battery and let sit for about a half hour. I had the same issue and this worked for me. Good luck.

Got the same issue, at this point it doesn't work at all yet if I flash a rom with out a full wipe it'll work again until I restart. That being the case it feels like a driver issue to me... I'm not sure if anyone has a tool that will allow me to flash the proper drivers?

Call HTC as far as i know the phone hasnt even been out a year yet which means they should all still be under warranty. Htc sent me a new back, a battery and charger for things i made up so i could have back ups should anything go wrong. All sent for free and they dont even ask for the bad parts back. Their customer service is great. Unless you like messing with stuffvif a factory reset dosent fix it. Get a new one. & to the guy with the? About the accelerometer numbers they always dance around a little even when set down flat. As long as the phone rotates correctly and maybe get a game that uses it and az long as everything functions your good dont freak out because the numbers dont hold completely still.

Hi im posting here as not enough posts for other forum, i have sony xperia mini pro updated last week to latest version, it was rooted untill i did the update after that i lost the root but today i have a bigger problem all of a sudden my battery died when it had at least 50% charge and my phone switched off, now when i try to turn it back on i cant see nothing the screen is black i can feel it vibrating when i hold the power on switch and the leypad lights up but the screen remains black, i am at a loss to why this has happened i had it in my pocket along with my door secruity key today i think it has a magnet in the secruity key i dont know if that would effect my phone but i did notice i play a game called drag racing and all my data had been wiped just before the phone went bad.
Does anyone know whats happened to my phones screen and will doing a manual flash of the previous software help fix the problem
Any help would be kindly welcome its my only phone and i kinda need it at the min

[SOLVED] HOX+ tragic death?

Hey guys, I have a really big problem here and I thought some of you might know what I could do. Search didn't find me anything.
So here's the situation: I've been running a rooted HOX+ for approx. 5 months now, mostly AOKP (shoutout to maxwen awesome ROM).
About a week ago, I installed ViperX+ and the EliteKernel OXP. Running fine, up to saturday evening. I was running low on battery, plugged the phone in last second. However, it shut down immediately afterwards (downanimation was shown though, so it didn't crash). Now it won't charge at all. The LED isn't even blinking :crying:
I tried plugging it in to various power supplies, also it can't be the cable (tried switchin' those too and it works on other phones). Plugging into PC doesn't work either.
I have no idea what to do or where this came from. I really hope somebody has an idea what this could be and how to solve it since i really don't want to lose my data and send it back to fix it (would that even be covered by warranty )
Appreciate your help and also, if this isn't in the right forum here, sorry mods and please move :angel:
EDIT: Mods please close

Try to just let it plugged in for a couple of hours and then keep pressing the power button for 20-30sec and it should boot up again..

I dont think this will help you, but you could open up the device and then disconnect the battery. It is a 1s lipo, so you can charge it with a lipo charger that supports 1s lipos (maybe at your local hobby store) Then you solder it together again and you would be able to flash another Rom and Kernel. I know that this is Risky, but i think that this case is not covered by your guarantee.

Send it back for warranty. HTC wont even know you rooted it and chances are if they do, they wont even care they will just replace it. Thats what happend with my HTC One S
Ok guys, sorry for the fuss.
IT WAS THE MICRO-USB PORT! :banghead:
I stabbed around a bit and cleaned it. BAM! It works. Yaay!
