5 vibration diagnostic code

So lately I've been getting the 5 vibration code and I've been searching around here and on other forums and no one seems to know what causes it. Has anyone else that's been experiencing this noticed that it seems to go away after a battery pull and then letting the phone cool down? I'm rooted with unrevoked running cm7 rc2 with Chad's newest kernel right now and tried running cm7 with the included kernel and experienced the same issue.
My main concern is whether to ruu and whether thats going to fix it or if it's simply a hardware issue

I have it too. Can you boot your phone up like normal after a little while? Everyone else on this forum who gets this can't do jack with their phone. I can boot up fine afterwards, it's just extremely annoying.
It's a code for some kind of hardware failure and they all had to get a new phone. I've been told a RUU may fix everything, but that's a semi-long process for someone as ADD as me to go through. You could try it though. And if you do, shoot me a PM with the results.

Yeah that's exactly what mine does, It'll boot right away and I usually only run into the issue when I'm playing a game for more than five minutes or using my phone in a warm environment. It seems to hit 100° F and then stops itself from overheating.
I was really hoping to not have to Ruu, because its such a process and I don't want to lose the gingerbread keyboard. Maybe someone else will chime in with another idea.

So far you and I are the only 2 I know about in the internet who can still boot up like normal afterwards.
I wiped dalvik last night and I haven't had the issue today, you might give that a try. It can't hurt.

Ill try that today. I initially thought it was the battery overheating but it did it with the stock 1300 and its doing it with the evo battery I'm using now. Ill finish setting up adb and try the ruu next week when I get time.

This just in, rebooted while playing star wars podracing on n64oid.
I think it is a heat issue, cuz my phone is always pretty warm when it happens.

I've read about this in a lot of forums lately. But it seems like it only comes up with cm7. You guys sure its not rom related?

Also had it on OMFGB, though not as frequently.
Also, today I've noticed my haptic feedback has been... varied in vibration intensity.

I have an Ruu that you just place on the root of your SD and flash through hboot no adb needed if you want it pm me..... and ill give you the file and instructions
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Well I broke down tried the RUU and that went through fine but I cant seem to replicate the error with stock. I tried gaming for about 20 minutes and it didnt do it yet, normally it does it after like 5

Good to know.
Have you gone back to CM7 and seen if it helps out there?
-CM7 ADR6300

No I havent tried rerooting yet and reinstalling cm7 It keeps doing it only now it gets stuck in a boot loop instead of doing the five vibration thing then it boot loops about 3-5 times till it cools itself down then restarts normally like nothing ever happened
I already talked to verizon and the new ones in the mail so theres really no sense messing with it anymore now i just need to decide if i want to root the next phone or not

That's what's happening to mine now, too... I also couldn't root it? Unrevoked kept failing. Oh well. I'm selling it and migrating to a Thunderbolt.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? I read some problems with flashing CM7 caused by CWM 3.0.0.8 that was fixed by going to 3.0.0.7

Yeah, you've got that right !!!!

When it happened to me I couldn't do a damn thing except get into clockwork Mod, which didn't help because I couldn't access the sdcard. I called up verizon and got a new one. For the two of you that actually have a working phone after this is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?

100F is nothing for these processors. Think about it, your body is 98F and a processor is meant to handle a lot more heat than your body. I know the TI OMAP in the original droid had a failure point of 220F.

Nope, not rom related since it happened to me when I was using Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and flashing a custom kernel when it happened.

Mine remained rooted ans s-off throughout the issue.
I unrooted and applied s-on and reverted to the November RUU and it fixed everything.
Rerooted and reapplied s-off a few hours ago and flashed Virtuous. No more CM7 for me. That's when I started having issues.

Mine does the same thing. Vibrates once, turns off, vibrates 5 times and the LED blinks green. I think mine is related to an overheating issue. Mine reboots almost always when im plugged into the car charger, talking on the phone over bluetooth on my way to work. About a 35-45 minute commute. Even when plugged in at home, and while messing with the settings as well. The only thing that is almost always the same is the screen brightness. Thats when it gets super warm and then turns off. I'll try it out with the screen brightness settings to lower then usual. But when I let it cool off, like I do in the car in front of the A/C vent for about 30 seconds,, with the battery out of the device, it comes right back on no problems.

Mine was rooted and s off. I believe I installed cm7 using clockwork 3.0.0.7 then upgraded to 8 and still had the issue. I know 100°f is nothing for a processor but it seemed to have issues as soon as it got around 110 then if you let it sit it works again so that's what led me to thinking it was a heat issue even though it doesn't make much sense

Diagnosing the best modem

Hey alll..
I am thinking I have a phone that does not prefer ec05's modem. Is there any method or (free) app that can help me move this from observation to some actual data showing that my phone and ec05 are not playing best?
Thanks.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Flash the EB13 modem, and if it improves, you found your culprit (but with data problems, it's a near-guarantee it's the modem).

You could use something like this app:
Speedtest.net Mobile (in market and free)
To test what speeds you're getting using EC05 modem (run a few and average them out).
Then odin EB13 modem and run the tests again.
Then you'll have some data to compare.

Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to be more imperical than my perception. My primary concern is not the speed (although maybe that is an issue) but my signal. It seems my wifi drops in parts of the house that were solid before and my 3g seems weak. All I am working off of is the signal bars for now...I was kinda hoping for a logging/reporting thing.
I thought I read that the eb13 did speed improvements and so on. I don't wanna lose anything but I am reading people going all the way back to dk28 and the idea of a beta or rc modem being better makes little sense to me.
Thanks again.

You won't lose anything by flashing the EB13 modem, it's a simple Odin flash.

There is an app called aLogCat; it logs everything going on with your phone. The logs are pretty large but you can filter the data. Maybe that could help?

I have played with them all at some point. I haven't found the info I am seeking in logcat so I caant really tell you. One chef is claiming substant5ially better battery life from using dk28 and I have seen some android sensor usage issues reported as resolved from going to eb13. I think the devices are different and different results are happening per device.

I just came from the Nokia n900 and having so many things working on the phone is a refreshing change! Ive lurked around and read a lot! As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.

Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!

Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this

Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

No im running at stock speeds

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

Thanks. now i'm having a new problem. My phone will just randomly shut off and I cant turn it back on until I pull the battery. It has happened twice so far

is your phone hot when this happens? try darksides kernel. haven't had an issue.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.

You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

(Q) Does anyone else's phone reboot 7:34 pm every night?

For the past week, my phone turns off at 7:34 pm. I don't really notice too much, but I have been on the road the past two days, relying on my phone for internet, and blam.... A little of what I am running.
Calkulins 2.9.2
Maddoggins bad ass tsm parts mod
And the nicely colored juicy orange from mijjah/team nocturnal.
My phone has been running great, havent had problems in at all, just this weird shut off. I thought maybe it was the fc18 modem I had running, but I rolled back to el29. Doesnt bother me too much, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

Hmm, strange man, no issue here, I'm on ICS AOSP currently. Don't think its and issue but possibly because you're using the juicy orange theme with calks rom when it's for blend? doubt it but who knows, are you getting hot reboots or los?

Thats a new one I would post this in the calks ROM thread see if you get any info. I would also suggest you re download the ROM and do a full wipe x 2 and flash again that will solve the problem hopefully.

Yep. Definitely chased it to the ROM mixture. I don't necessarily think it is the theme, as most just change the framework, twframework, and systemui. My guess is the way the theme and the lockscreen mod. I am playing around with blazer 4.0 and another theme (not for blazer) to see if I have the same issues. I did this once and had no issues, just lost the exteded toggles.
Havent had any hot reboots or los. Just turns off all incognito....lol... And i have to turn it back on. No bog deal, Ill keep you posted if I can do some digging and narrow it down. I absolutely love the mixture, so it is hard to give up and start over.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Ok, so nevermond. I didn't get much into looking into the files, just searched and searched.... Found that the time was just a coincidence. Turns out all I had to do was clear the cache in the tsmparts in the application manager>reopen tsm under settings>set lock screen to none. Also during this time set the regular lockscreen to none under display>lockscreen. Reboot, sit back and relax, all taken care of. I guess just sometimes after constantly running, just decides to quit. Now you can set the lockscreen to whatever you want.

Phone keeps resetting randomly

Don't know what happened, my phone has been going strong with a the SuperGalaxy rom 1.7 with no problems. I recently updated to 1.8 and it ran fine for the past two days with no problems. Then after leaving the phone on the charger at work yesterday, the phone kept resetting randomly. I unplugged it, hard reset, flashed a different rom, everything, and it still keep resetting randomly. Not sure what the problem is, any suggestions?
Edit: I'm a dumbass, realized my cpu was under clocked to 800mhz, running smooth at 1400mhz now.

okay, i'm not a dumbass (maybe). Phone keeps resetting on its own randomly still but less frequently after I overclocked.

How is your battery condition? Like how old is it? Do you have and tweaks (kobridge or phakker scripts)
Cpusleep app? And you said it happens on a few ROMs, I would say it maybe a battery or hardware issue. Also, do you check the MD5 sums before you flash the different ROMs?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Battery condition is good, I actually have two oem batteries that I use daily and swap them when one dies.
I'm not running any tweaks currently, but when I flashed the roms recently its been through a nandroid backup of my previous working rom. But I'll try a clean install without a backup and see if that works. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Okay, just did a fresh clean install from recovery. The phone still resets, I've noticed if it's plugged in to a charger though instead of resetting it will just turn off and show me the battery charging screen.
Also, how do you check the MD5 sums? I always thought the phone recovery automatically checks this before it flashes a rom?

Are you using a stock battery charger? Is the charging cable damaged or loose? I had an issue with an after market charger making my phone freeze up before.

Okay, I flashed a totally different ROM and it seemed to have solved the problem for now. Most likely it was a ROM issue, which is kind of weird since it was using the same rom before without any issues, even when I did a recovery of it. Oh well, maybe it was the right combination of apps and crap. But so far right now, everything is good. Thanks for the help g_ding84!

What were you using to under/overclock? Setcpu specifically has been known to cause the exact issue you were having, namely random reboots, however I would not be shocked to find other overclocking utilities that could cause the same problem. Regardless I'd be willing to bet that whatever you were were using to adjust the clock speeds was the source of the issue as opposed to the ROM.

You may be right on the money with that. It could be causing script confliction. Between the ROM and the CPU app. But I do know that cpu app scripts will override the ROMs cpu scripts, but not all the time.

Does it reboot in download mode? If not..I would odin to stock and go from there see if that fixes things.

Update: still resetting. :crying:
Today its been resetting probably about once every few minutes to ten minutes. It's stupid, like the battery will say 60% and when it reboots on its own, the battery will be at like 10%. No idea what the issue may be, but I might try to see if it will reboot in download mode as some of you suggest and maybe try to flash a stock rom. It seems that when it does go in reboot crackhead mode it will do it even in recovery.
The power button will not be as functional during the crackhead reboot mode as well. I'll press it and nothing will happen, but the screen will come on itself (not sure if this is a delay or just the screen coming on by itself lol).
I'm not too worried about exchanging it as of now, since I'm in the market for a new phone, but would like to fix this issue so I can sell the phone; if not I'll just do the trade in thing with Sprint (even though I won't get as much).
