My IR link for autosync and the flight mode keeps locking up and I need to do a soft reset.
Does anyone know of this problem? Fix?
Quick question...when i use to turn on my GTab...it would turn on..and i would be connected to my WiFi. But now..when it turns on..i have to go into settings..and click turn on WiFi...THEN it will connect. How can i get it back like it use to be?
No one knows???????????
I see you're using vegantab, did you use airplane mode? There's a glitch on almost all roms where you turn on airplane mode and you can't deactivate it, even if you turn it off and turn it back on, the tablet will show airplane mode as deactivated but in reality its still on, thats why everytime that you turn on your tablet, you need to turn on wifi. I tried telling people about this problem, but no one seems to care. All gingerbread roms have this problem and some froyo roms.
Strange..ive NEVER touched airplane mode. NEVER. Could i have bumped it somehow and not know??? I doubt that. I would see. Lets say i did...no other way to undo this? But then again..lets say i didnt...why it just start doing this out of no where?
Well the airplane mode problem is what it seemed to me based on the symtoms of the problem, the only way i've been able to get rid of it is to re-install the rom and wipe data & cache

Thats what im trying to avoid lol. Im not savy with all this. My Tablet was already flashed when i got it. Lucky its not THAT big of a problem. Just weird how it used to connect...then one day it didnt.
Hope i find another trick how to make it connect again. Thanks for replying.
Few days back after returning to home I saw My phone going on safe mode, I don't know how did it happen, it was in my pocket when I was driving a bike. And when I checked it after returning to home it already was on safe mode and even the stock launcher was activated. I restarted the phone, then it was working fine but few of my widgets were removed automatically. What would b the reason behind it?

I think its while in your pocket you might have pressed the button combination the reason it goes into safe mode is if their are force closes nd it doesn't load 3rd party apps so your able to uninstall the app that's causing the Fc the painful part is when you reboot it masses up your Widgets all you have to do is set them up again someone correct me if I'm wrong
100 posts and still wrong section .

I installed the NFC Ring Unlock application from McLear on the EZ2 tablet, which seemed to function well with my NFC ring.
I did one thing differently, because I don't like to give my Google master password to a 3-party app , I used an app password specifically for the NFC ring, which I considered to be one-time and didn't write it down
Then I had to fly and put the device in flight mode and powered it off some time later.
Now I get the NFC Ring Unlock screen in flight mode when I power up the device, but I can't get the unlock screen to work (NFC is also switched off in flight mode, didn't realise that and the Google authentication is also not working) and I can't get out of flight mode!
What I tried already:
Resetting the device by voulume-up/power, red button in SD-card and PC-companion connection.
Trying to hit the "normal" unlock screen which appears for a sub-second period.
Contact McLear, but they are flooded at the moment, because of the roll-out of their new products.
But neither of this works because they all depend on unlocking the device first.
Any advice?
If your device is unlocked and you have USB debugging enabled, you should be able to deinstall the App with ADB (Adcvanced Debug Bridge).
I guess that with the locked original Sony Bootloader, this doesn't work, though.
You could do a remote wipe with play device management:

If Sony's software detect it when you connect it to computer, you might also have some options there. I am using Mac and only see repair device ,under the Xperia menu, as a potential solution.
Hey Svan, damn it sucks you are getting stuck by this! Sorry!
1. Did you try posting on the NFC Ring forum?
RE "3-party app" our app never stores your details, we use the Google provided Google Auth libraries to handle the authentication process. I can personally guarantee and promise at no point do we store or use your username/pass, we just get a success/failure callback from them and act accordingly.
2. Is it possible you can use your Google Auth or is your work-around preventing you from doing this?
We're actually just beta testing an updated version of the app that forces users to enter a pin code to handle circumstances such as this. Flight mode and two-form factor auth have been an issue for us so we're taking pro-active steps to address it ASAP This doesn't help you though ;(
3. As BabelHuber asked, do you have debug mode available? If so a simple adb uninstall of the app will get you moving again.
Sorry about the delay through support, I just took another team member on today to help with the backlog, he starts tomorrow so hopefully things will move faster!

Found a solution
I had a the exact same problem, and luckily I found a solution just in the moment I had already decided to factory reset.
I have the stock rom/bootloader/etc installed, no root.
Well anyway, factory resetting the phone is not an easy task either, so this is what I did to get to the factory reset option in the boot loader:
I pressed power for a loooong time, then the phone shutdown, I pressed power and vol-down for a looong time.
Some kind of boot menu appeared, I chose recovery.
At first I was stuck with a red triangle with an "!" over a lieing android. I found that pressing and holding power for 1 second then, while still pressing power, pressing "vol up" for 1 second and releasing both at once, presented me a special menu, wich contains the factory reset and option ... and also a mysterious "wipe cache" option, which sparked an idea of how I might circumvent the factory reset...
I remebered, that after the last OTA update the phone was so busy after reboot, that the NFC Unlock app was loaded after a long delay, while I was already able to interact with the phone.
So I though what the heck, before factory resetting the device I might as will try wiping that damn cache and see wether that caused the delay.
After wiping the cache, I booted and Android went through all those apps, and then showed the launcher/home screen without the widgets loaded etc, for just long enough to switch off the airplane mode, before the unlock app was loaded and immediately locked the screen again.
It might have helped that I disabled the SIM Card PIN check, i don't know.
Only this time I could unlock it normally :silly:
I hope this helps
Alright, so at first, google was working fine. while the phone was locked, screen off and it was in my pocket, I could say "Hey google, start a timer for 5 minutes" and it would confirm and start the timer.
Then I updated... and for a while it was saying "Sorry, I can't do that while the device is locked, go ahead and unlock the device". I followed about a dozen suggestions online and one of the suggestions (I'm still not sure which one) worked.
BUT: There's now this problem of: if the screen is off and I say "hey google, start a timer for 5 minutes": The screen will turn on and show the pattern unlock screen (as if it wants me to put in the pattern). If I leave it alone, the screen eventually turns off and google finally responds with "ok, starting the timer"... but then it never actually starts the timer until I pull the device out and unlock it.
Another strange thing is that it won't use the google assistant voice I selected (I selected a natural-sounding male voice but it still uses this robotic-sounding female voice).
I've been through countless forum posts, suggested fixes, have tried everything from restarting to the phone to clearing cache, uninstalling/reinstalling google assistant, changing security settings and even went as far as to factory reset the entire phone... nothing has worked so far. The problem I think is that all of those are solutions to problems that are SIMILAR to, but not exactly like, this. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this specific problem and if you have: were you able to fix it? How?
It's just really annoying :/ This used to work so well. I used
PHP:
it for EVERYTHING. Now it doesn't really work at all unless I have my phone out and unlocked
Darn, it IS actually still telling me "actually, I can't do that while the device is locked. To keep going, go ahead and unlock the device". SO yeah... still just doesn't do anything at all if the device is locked. Only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all updates... but then it it reinstall those updates whenever I tell google play to update all. If I want to avoid that I guess I just have to go install updates individually/manually?... :/ This stinks. Just want my google assistant back to how it was working before (aka actually working - while the device is locked).
