(Tittle changed from *Phone won't boot with sdcard inserted*)
I woke up this morning and my phone was just dead over night. I thought well the battery just drained but no. First it wouldn't charge, no red led lighting up on the power button. After 15 min. in the wall charger and no sign of charging i hooked it up on my netbook. About five min. went on and then the red led shined and i thought yes and tried booting but just a vibrate once and a black screen.
I was running latest 4.0.A.2.368, rooted, unlocked bl, doomlord's kernel and @thomassafca's samsung theme when this happened.
Tested fastboot mode and flash mode all good there, blue and green light.
Then i re-flashed doomlords kernel and it rebooted to the point of *sony ericsson* on the screeen and went black and then the charging icon and orange led.
Took out the battery and inserted it again and booted up. Again only vibrate once and then black screen.
Then flashed kernel.sin with flashtool, still the vibrate once and black screen.
So i was a bit lost and took out sim and sdcard and flashed 4.0A.2.368 ftf file posted by @thomassafca and it booted fine. Then i turned it off and inserted the sim and booted up. It booted just fine. Then inserted the sdcard and again vibrate once and black screen.
Then formated the sdcard extFat still no boot, tried Fat32 no boot, tried a card from my old nokia wich should be formatted correct since it also run on a linux base (maemo) no boot.
I'm a bit lost on what to do to make my phone boot with sdcard again.
Have been working with no issues at all since i flashed the new firmware/unlocked bl/flashed kernel/rooted.
Any help will or if someone could explain what happened will be great
Regards Dousan...
e: Ok a slight change in this. The phone when turned of won't boot again unless i take out battery and insert again. When booted into the phone i inserted the sdcard and mounted it and now it boots with the sdcard, but still the same issue of having to take out the battery to boot when turned off?
e2: Tried adb reboot and it seems to go in a bootloop. It connects to the pc and disconnects (windows sound plinging connected disconnected) and i can adb devices and a connected device number appears after the first pling and after the second pling there's no device to be found with adb and then it just goes on and on till i disconnect and pull the battery and boot? All this is with a black screen not even *sony ericsson* appears.
e3: Reflashed it with the latest fw and without pulling battery it booted right up and i thought, yes, problem solved. Went through setup and then turned it off and booted the phone and still vibrate once and a black screen. Pulled out battery and botted again and still vibrate and black screen? So pulled it out again and sdcard and it booted up fine. Inserted the sdcard when on and mounted it and it works, but still the boot problem?
After the reflash the vibrate felt different, stronger, and after i pulled the battery it's weaker.
e4:Flashed doomlords kernel again and rooted, still same issue?
e5: Solved problem by flashing doomlords kernel v2 for fw 4.0.A.2.368. After flashing it booted with the kernels new boot txt and then it turned off and the charging icon showed. Then booted into cwm and wiped dalvick cache and battery stats. Then rebooted from cwm and it booted up. To make sure problem was resolved I tried 2 times in a row to reboot with quick boot and it booted without me having to pull the battery Thanks all for your suggestions
Try going back to .145, see what happens. Flash the .tft file so you get the older baseband. Worth a try

Not likely as i only OC'ed to 1400 the first feew days i had the kernel and then 1200 and when it happened stock clock.
My incident is isolated and your point is?
@captain67, yes it might be related to the kernel, could be?

e: would there be a point in booting into cwm and wipe dalvik cache, wipe data/system and battery stats and then re-flash 4.0.A.2.368?

And then the problem reappeared and this time i couldn't fix it myself and has just gotten my play back from service today (one and a half week they had it). It turned out to be some hardware problem and i've got a new screen, top cover and some other stuf.
Flashed the latest FW and locked the bootloader before handing it in and just told them what happened. Woke up and turned the device on and it froze and then it turned off with the backlight on. Tried rebooting but just a single vibrate and then a black screen.
They fixed my issue but created another. The volume button is now broken and i have to go back tommorow for a second time. Just booted the phone this evening and wanted to hear some music, but couldn't turn up the volume without pressing a pionty thing on the rocker. Down works fine. Bit annoying that a broken volume button can leave the service place, that should've been seen by the service person in the shop before it was ok'ed.
The screen is nice and crisp and the old one had a backlight issue i just lived with... untill now
Regards Dousan...
So a little update on this:
As i said they broke my volume button while repairing it for the stuff i wrote about above (didn't want to turn on).
It took me a week to go back with my play and in the meentime i descovered that it would randomly turn off during the night and wouldn't turn on unless i pulled the battery and charge it untill the charging symbol showed on the screen. It would then boot and first i thought it was the battery that was drained, but when on the lockscreen it showed that there was plenty of juice on. One time it was 35% and another it was 62% and no way it could've charged that much in 1-2 min.
Another thing i descovered was that when turned off it wouldn't turn on again unless i pulled the battery.
Anyway i went to pick it up yesterday and here i saw that they've broken my R-trigger Those idiotic service people even ticked of a box on the service papers that they've checked that all buttons where working (i don't think so, slackers). They did this on both occations
My play had no juice on it so i wasn't able to see if they had fixed my problem about not being able to reboot without pulling the battey and the random switch off's. Further more the service papers that came back with the phone didn't mention it at all? They did fix my volume button or atlest it seems they did as i couldn't turn it on and check if it did actually work.
So once again i'm without my play, but this time they're processing it express

Yeah i know, I'd rather have them fixing it though, than having a fualty device. In the end it might go to SE and let them see if they can fix the issue. Hope not, don't want to be without my play once again Got the iches for gaming and now EA got free games, bummer
Regards Dousan...
Well just need to vent a little.
Starting rant:
So I got my phone back today for the third time. They did fix the R-trigger they recked the last time it was in for service, but they didn't fix my issue with the random rebooting/turning on without pulling the battery.
They claim it worked fine before shipping it, but when i unpacked it and let it charge enough to power on guess what it didn't turn on i had to pull the battery to get it to turn on lol They shipped it without checking if they fixed it. Hell i don't even think they tried at all cuz then they would've cought it straight away. They're full of BS and when googling them and reading their trustpilot it's also full of dissatisfied customors with the same type of problem as me, no fixing or pour fixing or even more breaking of the device or simply lieng it was water damaged
Hey that sound's familiar to me, not fixed and more broken, those C*NTS.
I'm pissed and nothing i can do but a claim with the place i made the purchase.
Rant ended
Regards Dousan...
End of story...
Well the last update on this.
I made a claim with cdon.com where i bought it and sent it of to their service center for repair and once again it was returned non repaired. Still wouldn't turn on without pulling the battery. Then they sent it of to SE and they couldn't fix it either and sent a new device to cdon.com, but i chose to get my money back instead of a new device.
The cons of this device ended up being more than the pros. Relly liked this device though and what it was supposed to've been. I was just not the big gamer i used to be and mostly played RB6 online and found the lag of analog touchpads support in fpse annoying and psxperia converter tool didn't work with the games i liked to play.
Anyway it was a fun ride while it lasted and mostly a friendly helpfull crowd I encountered here in the play sub forum. Must say that it has been the best forum I've been submitted to so far
Thanks to all of you and I might see you around

I ended up with the Lumia 800. The N9 seemed nice and have good specs and a familiar OS, but tried it out a few times in a shop and didn't get that wow feeling. Further more read a few things on TMO (talk.maemo.org) in the N9 sub forum that convienced me not to pick up the N9. Even read some danish users experience with the device and it wasn't good all in all. Though the N9 has it's openess and a lot of modding potential i didn't want to go for a 'half finished OS' as i see it from reviews from users. On TMO hardcore N900 users that shifted to the N9 was dissapointed in the N9 as it's gone more mainstream and comercial in how Nokia build the OS.
As of now the Lmia suites my needs much better and I do like the WP7 feel and looks.
It was hard to choose between the two devices as they both have good things going for them.

Hi all!
Since a couple of days my HTC DHD has been freezing up. Most of times it happens when i take it out of sleep mode. The bottom buttons (home, menu, back and search) do light up, but the phone doesn't respond at all. Sometimes this also happens when using the phone. The screen moves slowely, like a frame every couple of seconds before it freezes up completely. Only way to get it back on is taking out the battery and put it back in. I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 about a week and a half ago so i thought the problem might lie there but i switched back to Cyanogenmod 7.0 (which i have been using for the past 6 months or so without any problem at all) and the device still freezes up. This happens twice of more every day! I have wiped everything and updated all my apps and the problem still occurs. I'm really clueless on how to solve this problem.
I can provide a logcat but i have never used that before so i'm not sure on how to do this. Even then, how can i make a logcat when the device freezes up and i need to take out the battery?
Any help would be much much appreciated!!
Thanks!
Did you do a full wipe; all caches, Dalvik e.t.c
Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!
The best way to get a logcat is using adb and perhaps a terminal emulator.
Try using the phone without the sd card to see if the problem persists.
Sent from a dream
Thanks for your replies! Sorry for the late response but had to install SDK and get it up and running.
@ GuyInTheCorner, Yes did all that except for a full wipe. Don't want to loose all my data.
@ Teichopsia, Ok did what you said and i have Logcat running now. Just tested it and it seems to be working. It's huge tho with only a couple of seconds running! Now i have to wait for the device to freeze up again and i can get to my computer while it doing it. As soon as that happens i will make a logcat and post it here.
Thanks for you help so far!
You've changed roms without full wiping? Try it without the sd card to see if there is something in the sd card causing the problem. However, you will probably need to full wipe. If after the full wipe problem persists, check without the sd card, if so, wipe the sd card.
The logcat will help figure where the problem is, but I don't know how to read one.

Ok, so it took a while but my DHD finally froze up again while i had acces to a computer. So i did a logcat. Results are in the Logcat.txt file. I hope anyone out there can read it and figure out what the problem is. Many thanks in advance!!
I started a thread for a similar problem ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734707 ) but the behaviour you describe is identical to what was going on with my DHD.
Try disabling Wifi and see if it stalls up on you - Mine runs great so long as Wifi is turned off. With it turned on I get random freezes, and the screen not turning on with the backlit buttons lit. Removal of the battery is about the only way to get it to respond again.
I tried changing ROMs, kernels, recoveries, radios and bootloaders with varying results but nothing seemed to fix it.
I ALWAYS full wipe and clear any files relating to the previous ROM off the SD card when changing ROMs.
On 2.2 ROMs Wifi would just turn itself on and off, the phone would not freeze though. Wifi was mostly un-usable as data didn't seem to transfer 80% of the time that it was turned on.
On 2.3.x ROMs Wifi started out doing the same thing as on Froyo, but after about a week it started to freeze the phone and would not return from sleep.
On 4..0.x ROMs Wifi would generally cause a complete freeze of the phone almost as soon as it was turned on.
I hope you find a solution. Mine is the 24 month warranty.

Sounds exactly like my problem. I see you have done way more research on this problem then me looking at the thread you started. So i guess the problem lies in the WIFI hardware then. If so, i could send it back for repairs. I also have 24 months warranty. Problem i have, my device fell into a bucket of water when i had it just 3 weeks (about 16 months ago) It never gave me any problems tho! Worked just fine until now. All my warranty labels turned red. I could pull them out and replace them of course. Or tell HTC that it got wet during rain and it was in my pocket. But that wouldn't be honest now would it. A friend of mine has a DHD as well but he tells me he never has this problem which makes me guess the problem only occurs with some builds of the device.
I have been using my WIFI a lot lately for tethering on my laptop. So i will try your solution of turning WIFI off first and just see what happens. Also i will go back to stock rom when ICS becomes available. See what happens ten.
For now thanks a lot Max-E-Moose for your help. I will update this thread if something occurs or i find a solution. :good:

Nope didn't try that. I just ordered a new Samsung 32gb class 10 SD card. Should arrive tomorrow. Will try that first. Maybe it helps.
Thanks anyway.
Any luck ONeils? Updatey?
Due to where I am situated, I have not had the opportunity to bring my phone in yet so am still using mobile data almost all of the time.
I didn't mention before, because I forgot about it, but have you tried using WiFix Manager from the market? I read in another thread that this solved a similar problem for some people.
I think the process is: install WiFix, install the fix from the app, then restart the phone. It should be that simple, if it works - it does nothing for my poor DHD.
Currently using JellyTime Beta 7 and I have noticed that I can turn my WiFi on, and use it for a while, but if I forget to turn it off then the phone doesn't want to wake up once the screen turns off. Wifi hasn't froze the phone entirely on this ROM... Yet.
Everything in the ROM works as advertised, except the battery level will not update until a reboot. Third party apps and the system read the same. Flashed the correct boot image, gapps, ROM etc. Charged up to full (Overnight, reboot, read 100%), then went into recovery and wiped battery stats, nothing happened. About to try draining to 0%, recharge to 100%, and wipe stats.
Kind of doubtful as to whether this will work, but if anyone has had similar experiences on other ROMs or this ROM in particular, any advice would be greatly appreciated :laugh:
bump and update...
Tried above method, didn't work (Almost bricked phone when I rebooted on low battery LOL)
Flashed jmz's updated cm10 app correctly, everything worked as advertised, but battery still wouldn't update.
Starting to think something's wrong with my phone, going to see if Best Buy will take it back.

Really not sure. you are the only person to report that. flash my stock rom and see if it works.
Alright will do. Thanks for the reply. How do I do a COMPLETE wipe of everything that I can possibly wipe asides from sdcard data (photos, vids)? I think there's something that's being left behind from each ROM i flash, because I restored back to stock, and I couldn't activate phone, restored to your cm9, chrome/browser sporadically and randomly close.
Feels like each time I flash/restore to a different ROM, something new goes wrong.

Choose factory reset in recovery. That's all that is ever needed. Some people swear by using every option to individually wipe each item. Its unnecessary. Puts extra wear on the nand.

I do that, but the problem persists. About to try your stock ROM, will update.
Edit: Tried the ROM, similar issues (worse, if anything). Am now suspicious of phone defect. Is there an established way of unrooting/demodding in general the one V? Thanks for all the help so far.
My battery is goofy too running CM9 Primoc.
The first night it charges just fine.. .shows 100%.
The next night it will only charge to 92-93% or so.
The next night it will only charge to 85% or so.
It's like each night I recharge it I lose 7-8% off my final charge.
I'm pretty sure the charge is there it's just displaying the wrong percentage for some reason because if I simply reboot the phone and do nothing else the charge percentage jumps back up. If I reboot it after charging all night then it shows 100%.
hello..
well, the duration of the battery is fine. the problems is that when the battery % reaches 9% it goes down to 1%! it passes from 9% to 1% almost instantly. the same thing happens when charging the phone, goes from 1% to 9% charged in seconds.! so, what is happening with the missing %?
it is an Xperia S, stock ICS rom. the one that sony provides.. i've never rooted the phone.
can i solve this with the PC companion? by repairing the phone?
thanks..
(sorry for my bad english)

I had this exact problem a few weeks ago on an LT28at with, at the time, ATT's ICS .111...i flashed everything i could find trying to chase it, rooted, unrooted...did that hard reset thing with the battery full, etc...Mine was about 30% off...it would stay at 100% for hours, and would shut off as soon as the phone hit about 31%...and show all the crazy cliffs in the battery status menu...
I was sent a replacement by AT&T...the directions for returning my old phone stated do a master reset...boot down the phone...remove the sim card...and boot it back up without the sim card...I skipped the master reset, as the phone had just been flashed back to unrooted ATT ICS .111 (wanted that on there went i sent it back)...
booting the phone without the sim card...the battery icon flashed a few times...then popped back to 'normal'...No idea if this was just coincidence, or something else...as again; i had tried every single option i could find on here (rooted batterybin wipes, everything)...none of which seemed to changed anything...but it returned to normal precisely when i did a sim-less boot up...
its worth trying, but no promises...it may just be something that eventually fixes itself...

Hello,
So I bought a G3 the day before yesterday and yesterday was my first day with it, and for that first day my phone had shutdown twice on its own. The first time was when my phone was lying on the bed and doing nothing, it had around 50% battery and was not hot or anything.
The second time was this night i don't know when, i have put my G3 on the charger and went to sleep i woke up and it had shutdown.
I didn't made factory reset when i got i from the box which i will when i come home from work and hopefully this will fix it, but does anyone have a problem like that? If is something serious i will be disappointed to return the phone.
p.s. My previous phone was galaxy s2 and had this king of problem only with custom roms and kernels, but i have not put anything on the G3 yet, except activating the developers options and had switched it to ART and the first time the phone had shutdown i thought that the art was the issue and switched it back to dalvik, the second time though was on dalvik.

I have the exact same problem. The past few days when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, the phone has shut itself off. I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms.
I would advise you both to take a factory reset, only install apps you need for a few days and see if the problem persists, if it doesn't install your apps back one by one as it may well be a particular app causing the reboots.
If you still get reboots after the reset and with no apps installed then you may have to take the phone back to swap it.

Yes as I said in the first post the factory format and hard reset will be the first thing that will be done as soon I am at home. About the apps i have pretty much basic apps (facebook, messenger, soundcloud, etc) all from the market except smashhit of which i have the apk and installed from the internal memory.
Except those apps I have 2 mp3s and some wallpapers and nothing else, becouse when i got my phone it was late on the evening and i had no time to do anything else. So the phone is pretty much out off the box and I was verry frustrated when the secound shutdown happened, becouse i tought the first was from the ART runtime.
Anyway today I will have more time to spend on the phone and we will see what will happend.
p.s. The phone does not reboots, just shuts off.

Is it definitely off or is the phone just stuck on a black screen? It is quite common on some devices when something is not quite right for the kernel to be unable to wake the phone up, the phone is still technically on but stuck in deep sleep.
does holding the power button for 2 seconds turn it on? or do you have to hold it for say 7-8 seconds?

It is definetly shut down around 2 seconds(the normal time to hold the power button to turn on) it turns on and work perfectly and does not show anything suspicious in its behavior, it's super fast, not laggy and etc, may be a little high on ram consumptions but with this havy skin i think it is normal or could not be normal idk, the ram consumptions go from about 1,2GB the lowest i have seen to up to 2,3 the highes i have seen.
Anyway about the shut off think yes defenetly 100% sure it is off, it happend again a while ago and i thoght the same thing may be it si deep asleep even i had chacked the weather 10 min ago and call myself from a friends phone and the operator said that the phone is off or i am somewhere without network covarage.

If you have to remove the battery to get it to restart then its not actually shut off, its just stuck in deep sleep! which is usually caused by a bad app.
Yes if you have to remove the battery the problem is different, i just have to push the power button and it boots right away after it have shuted off by its self........
i didnt have this issue with my 855. but i did a factory reset after i got the phone just for the hell of it
So it's reset time i finally have some time to the some staff on the phone so hopefully everything will be fine. I will post if this fix or not the problem to inform the other people in this thread.

did you have any luck with the problem? I have the same issue, performed a factory reset and restored, hopefully it will fix too..
Hi all!
I have and have had the same problem and think I've pinpointed the problem to Google Search but can't 100% confirm it yet. I didn't do a factory reset when I got the phone and it shutdown during the night. I did a factory reset, made sure it got enough time to update everything properly. Problem was gone and worked fine. HOWEVER, the phone kept asking me which home screen I prefer at random times when I hit the home button. With random I mean like 4+ times per day. I searched the net and found a threat saying that a guy with a G2 solved the problem by removing Google Search updates. So I decided to do just that and get the factory version back and the questions disappeared but guess what, the phone shut down the following night.
Any takers or might this just be random? Note that it was working fine for three days with the updated Google Search and shutdown the first night after the downgrade.
So I did hard reset and so far so good the phone had not shutted down itself, and I updated everything which need to be updated (mentioning this for the guy with the upper post). So far so good I will keep you in touch if something goes bad...

whether the use of ART
The problem will be resolved?
I suggest take it to your dealer and get it replaced asap. I've seen lots of returned phones(my job at XXXXXXX company ) with the same issue, and as long as the defect is reproducible the dealer will give you a new phone. If it's outa replacement period then they'll probably repair it.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand shut down again but this time it took quite a bit time longer to shut off by its self so i tought the problem was fixed, but it's not, so i am going to the store which i buy it from to replace the device.....
Does this also happen with the korean models?
