[Q] Sync icon will not go away - Motorola Droid X2

Hi Everyone,
Last Month while away on business in NC my rooted Droid X2 started acting up. When using the hotspot feature it would drop the hotspot after 1 minute then reboot. Once rebooted the hot spot was on off on off on off on off making it useless. So I first wiped cache then data went so far as a restore to factory reset. So now I started reinstalling apps and accounts. After the Gmail sign in phone said sync icon will go away when done syncing. Icon came on went away after 5 minutes or so then back on and has been on since. How do I get it to stop syncing? I have tried all kinds of suggestions I have found on the web but none will get the icon to go away??
Please help me !!!:crying:
Thank you in advance

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

Your last hope may be too sbf to complete stock state. If that doesn't work, you May have borked hardware. It does seem you have just a software issue though. After you sbf, you will have to root again.

Edit: the reason you might have to sbf is a data and cache wipe will not put /system back to normal. If you messed some settings or files up in system, only an sbf will fix it.

Thank you Uzephi I did the sbf to 2.3.4 registered the phone then rerooted. I checked the box to sync google and ended up with the same issue. So I redid. The reset and upgraded to 2.3.5 rerooted same thing. Finaly I did mot check the google sync after 3rd attempt. It finally went away. The icon may not be a problem itself but it drained the battery in 3 hours. A brand new battery infact. So thanks for your reply I am back to a ful day of battery sometimes 2 days if I don't use it lolol.

Hi
I forgot to mention I did wipe cache and data the fhirst time.
Thanks
Matt

Unfortunately, if sbf didn't work on fixing your issue, it could be something hardware related. Are you able to get GPS lock? If your GPS chip is messed up and cannot get a lock Google could possibly have sync issues as it will try to log your GPS for your check in history.

[ Q ] Evo 3D F/C auto turns off...

Hey guy's I bought my evo 3d off craigslist it was working fine few hours later i start getting f/c when i try to set my notification tones, htc hub, sometimes camera app as well. now recently it's gotten worse? freezes to a black screen when i try to open the phones dial pad "lights on the buttom stay lit tho.. or when i open my app drawer it either freezes where it won't recover or randomly shuts off? does this about 5 - 8 times a day! plus with moderate use IE: lil web surfin on wifi, browsing market on a full charge the battery hits the 15% mark within 30-45 minutes? its flashed on metro pcs but it had this prob before it was flashed...
any ideas? is it possible to wipe out the entire phone and re-install the OS and UI etc.. does it need root access for that?
Go to settings/sd and phone storage. There is an option for factory data reset that should put the phone back to factory, and you may need to re flash to metro after
Otherwise, you can run an ruu

I did a factory reset before I had it flashed, is a factory reset the same thing as wiping out the OS and re-installing it?, kinda like a reformat for a pc?
i'm worried that it's not a software issue since i already factory reset.
No, but on every reboot, anything that factory reset doesn't touch is restored to factory anyways because of the s-on protection. Only other choice is to run the ruu

Any idea where I can find an ruu for my device? I was told I need a stock recovery image? sorry I am new to this any help pointing me in the right direction would help.
On my phone, but
I believe this is the link. Just plug your phone in to your pc and run it. This is for a phone without any updates installed, if it gives you a boot loader error you will need a newer one (they're in the dev section here)

[Q] Update partially worked, could use some advice

I installed p3's prerooted gingerbread last night following the instructions in another thread here. To the best of my knowledge each step completed successfully. However, I have noticed a number of small things that indicate to me that not everything worked 100% the way it should. Can you provide thoughts on how to fix the following issues?
1)I cannot access blur or the updated blur widgets. I've cleared the default app settings under manage applications for go launcher, but everytime I click home go launcher is used.
2)I went to freeze the bloat and noticed none of the blur apps were listed in titanium backup (probably explains the above problem)
3)I went to do a factory reset via recovery (power up with vol down pressed). I accessed android recovery, but it just sat there with the green android and the yellow exclamation point. A battery pull was required to restart my phone. A factory reset from the settings menu worked, but did not resolve these problems
4)My free RAM is lower than I expected after a boot, about 100.
5)I am experiencing audio lag as I was prior to the v6 script in froyo.
Any ideas? I know people has used the sbf to go back from the OTA, but has anyone used it to go back form p3's update?
When you see the android with the exclamation point you have to press vol up and down at the same time

Just checking but did you and back to froyo and do a factory reset. It sounds like something went wrong in one of those processes. I'd retry the whole thing over. SBF first and factory reset before the phone has initial boot.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah, I let it boot prior to ding the factory reset after the sbf. Question is how do I wipe before the initial boot? Once the sbf is done it just booted up, I believe.
I agree, sounds like you didn't factory reset. Unfortunately to advice the best results when upgrading you should sbf, factory reset and instal as little as possible, which in this case would be root and system recovery, then upgrade.
Oh and yes, you can safety sbf back, even from the rooted version.

Reboot into recovery mode, personally I think the factory reset works better this way rather than from the privacy menu.

So just so I'm clear about this, do I re-activate the phone before or after the SBF or the factory reset.

Sbf, then factory reset. Boot the phone up, the first thing it should do is ask you to activate. It's right there in the first time setup. You can't not do it.

I'm having the same problem. Except when i go to activate it, the screen just locks up and won't do anything. Iv'e sfb'ed and factory reset like 30 times and i still can't get past that screen. UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Sounds like your screen isn't registering your touch, you need to tap him to start, I had to tap him like 20 times last time I sbfed. bring it in to the store if you sbf and factory reset make them fix it

[Q]

at&t update blocked my atrix
I have at&t atrix but it's unlocked and I'm using it in Europe with my carrier.
Couple days ago I was notified that there is an update from att and that I should download, which I didn't do, but anyway phone downloaded package itself and it reminded me every hour that I should install it and no data will be lost. I did that finally last night but now I can't get it to work, there is android icon and ! sign on it and it has been there the whole night but will not turn on again. finally I took the battery out and than returned it, it started to work for one minute and than it showed -turning off, and android icon is now on the screen again???
Please help or advise!
If you press the up and down volume buttons when the icon appears, do you enter a menu?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'll give it a try and reply.....
well I took it to service center, they told me that they can enter in that menu, but they can root it again, but all data will be lost.... can I avoid loosing data???
If they just factory reset and reflash the rom, you shouldn't lose things like pictures and music, but you will lose app data including saved games and text messages.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it's done, they charged me cca. 30$ but managed to save phonebook and photos, all else is lost. I can deal with that but I'm frustrated that this was caused by at&t update where I didn't have option to say no, just install now or install later. It also said that all data will be saved, which obviously was a lie. How can they do that, I didn't want this update at all.
This is very inconvenient for me, but than again it seems that no one cares!
Official update my as.......
Thank you for advice but this sucks!

Definitely worth trying a profile update, or PRL update. In addition, perhaps the tower in your area went down. I know this does happen from time to time, although it seems to occur more frequently in rural areas (not sure where you're located).
Worse case scenario, you might need to wipe /data as some important system setting became corrupt. This can be done thru the stock recovery or stock system by selecting factory reset. this will wipe the data partition and essentially reset the device back to store.
as long as you're contacts/emails/texts are stored in the cloud with your google account, they'll all sync back up. otherwise, you might look into a 3rd party app to backup /data prior to attempting this step. factory reset should be the last alternative. if a factory reset doesn't clear up the issue, you'll prob end up visiting a carrier. but this generally doesnt occur very often, so i wouldnt be too concerned with this last resort/option.
hope that helps!

Memory Card Issues Since Root

Since root I constantly lose my ringtone settings and see the memory card disconnect & connect. I have done a restore to the day I rooted & haven't done anything to it aside from changing font & freezing apps but it is still happening. Anyone have any advise or should I just try to unroot? If I have to unroot is there a best way to do it?

afaik the only way to unroot would be to use the flashtool to flash a stock ftf
edit: or maybe use the Full Unroot option is supersu, but Im not sure that returns you to stock completely like flashing a stock ftf.

I guess my first question should have been is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Not experience this. If you haven't tried a data wipe I would give that a try. You'll spend less time setting your phone up again than you would trying to figure out why this is happening. Just one suggestion. Hopefully someone has a better answer

I would do the data wipe from the stock sony/android recovery rather than the dual recovery. I read something somewhere by someone who knows "things" that a wipe from stock recover is more complete.

Just beware that wipe from stock recovery should nuke your internal storage so have things backed up
Thanks for the warning. Did the wipe & set everything back up. Disabled apps as opposed to freezing them for now. No other changes until I see how it goes. Then will take it one change at a time. Block ads. Xposed & camera mod. Etc.
Thanks everyone. I'll let ya know if the problem is still present or what sets it off.

Here's hoping all goes well
OK. Factory reset from stock recovery, wiped cache from dual recovery, reloaded basic apps, disabled several & all has been working great.
Installed Xposed & 20MP Superior Auto then the phone will no longer go to Airplane mode or shut down the wireless connection.
Again hard reset, wiped cache, reloaded the backup from before installing Xposed...still won't shut down the wireless & go to airplane mode.
Can't imagine either of those would change the Airplane functionality. Not sure where to go from here.

It was the Setup Wizard! Disable or freeze that & Airplane won't work. What the hell? Time to try the 20MP Superior Auto again.

Good find
try wiping data and factory reset once again. i was also having the same problem but resolved by factory reset two times.
Memory card issues seem to be gone. Reactivated amplify & greenify the other day with no issue. Still need to turn on ad blocking.
Only issue I have now is the audio through my headphones keeps going out. Think my beats headset finally **** the bed. Now I have to figure out a decent pair.
Any suggestions?
I liked beats but some people say it is a gimmick when compared to "good" headphones. What's the best in your opinion?
