Hello guys, I am currently rooted on stock Android version 4.1.2 and randomly getting a "Connecting to Dm Server" sign showed up on my toggle menu, its a blue and red arrow I've seen this before of course when I wasn't rooted and it updates my software and what not. But is it because I am rooted it is not updating and getting stuck there for days? It goes away after I freeze it in app quarantine but I feel like i am missing out on something and when I unfreeze it it just pops up again and gets stuck there.. What are my solutions? Thank you for your time. :good:
You must be using a stock 3e recovery to get updates of course...and updates generally do not play well with rooted phones...
If freezing the updater doesn't bother you...then leave it frozen..
The updater runs every 24 hours...or on reboot anyway...and is annoying for users without root...
Personally...I would enjoy your rooted phone...and freeze the application...
If anything important comes along...you'll see it posted here within hours...and can deal with it then...imho...g

Hey thanks for the reply and sorry for the late reply! Haha, I ended up taking your advice and just froze it and it worked just fine. Thanks again for the help.

Edit: I sent another test text message, and it sent fine.
My phone has been freezing all day, because it turned off while updating market apps. So, I booted into recovery, and cleared cache. All seems fine now, but my messages won't send now . They just say stuck sending, I haven't tried updating prl/profile yet, so what are you're suggestions?

Anyone else having issues with the Facebook app on their Ion? About a week ago mine started not loading right. Sometimes its all black, sometimes it wont show any pics, untill I scroll, then they will flash in and out. Then as I scroll down I will see the "loading symbol" circling and it will load up correctly. I have uninstalled all updates and reinstalled twice with no change. Not sure what caused this...

For future reference please refer all questions to the Q&A Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1657
We already have a thread going on about this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788198&highlight=facebook
so far we all emailed google play and fb about this issue which seems to just be affecting Xperia Ion users -__-
I'm experiencing the same thing, but it seems to work after leaving the app open for a few minutes...fb on android has always been glitchy which is almost why I was hesitant to buy another android phone get buy a iphone 4s instead. Still at times I wish I gotten an apple for its "simplicity" but I'm content with this phone...even more when ICS released and hopefully rooted/bootloader for jellybean
Sorry about posting in the wrong place. And thanks.

Ok Im a newbie to the rooted epic 4g touch, now I one clicked my epic 4g touch with sfhubs ff18 one click. Now I heard that they are rereleasing the update to fix ALOT of issues. My question is will I get the notification for the update on my rooted phone and will it put my phone back to unrooted if I do? Also if it doesnt send me the notification will someone be posting another one click no data odin link for the new update so I can get the fix? Sorry but not sure how updates work on rooted phones.

There is no new update release. They are resuming the previous release, with the only change being the updater script now automatically wipes data from the Swype keyboard to fix that particular bug.

So then they arent fixing the battery issue?
The battery issue has been resolved for several people I know that have removed all of their user installed apps and reinstalled one by one till they find the app that isn't ICS ready.

It might sound weird how i resolved the battery issue. I went to settings and unmounted sd card. Then restarted phone. Then inserted card, mounted, and let it go through its motions, when it stabilized... I restarted it again.
All is well. Run cpuspy to check making sure its going into deep sleep properly, remove apps or set them to manual update. Im not a big Facebook guy, i have an account, but the recent update forced 1 hour check ins, preventing deep sleep. Be vigilant in checking apps anytime they update.
This ff18 (two weeks or so im on it) is fabulous and smooth for me. No rooting, i did the YouTube guy update real easy

Same here... Not sure how to fix this issue and I downloaded betterbatterystats and cant figure out how to use to figure out what the problem is.. Hope someone FINALLY has the answer to this battery problem!
So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

from what Ive read, root is intact but the update replaces the custom recovery with stock recovery. (correct me if Im wrong, but I read this on this forum)
New
Yea I saw the update to, unfortunately I had to titanium stop them due to my ROM
Been reading all day every time you reboot it reverts back to stock recovery.I think there's already a fix but im gonna wait till someone cooks a Rom with new firmware that have the fix baked right in like raisins in oatmeal cookies

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.
Thats it!

I'm unrooted, no custom stock, kernel, anything, and I got this update today.
Still 4.0.4, only differences that I could tell were in the web browser and in the pull-down menu from the top of the screen. There's a brightness slider there now, and the brightness options in the browser are gone.

I tried deleting them using Astro. I got a "file delete error". I assume it is because I do not have root.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

Your fine ! Just that Kitkat is all the rage, so I assumed you were on that too.
Try this : Settings >>> Apps >>>>ALL... Find the settings running app. Then CLEAR CACHE. You cannot clear data though.
Hope it helps !
Also, Philz latest (I think 6.14 or 6.16) has some bugs. I would just flash a generic CWM. TWRP latest also is buggy.
Thanks Man I appreciate your help. I'm not so sure about the e980 and KitKat yet on ATT sounds pretty buggy so I'm still holding off.

Hey community, I need your help here pretty bad. I was running the aicp 7.0 release but ended up flashtooling back to bone stock. I am getting constant and random reboots. Sometimes it is a bootloop, sometimes it gets to the att logo, sometimes it makes it to my home screen, and sometimes I can actually use it for 10 or 15 minutes but it always fails and reboots. Is there anything I can try? I am totally stumped. I figured a tot file flash back to stock would have solved this but it didn't. It almost seems like a hardware failure but I have never dropped it, got it wet nothin. Another real odd deal is when I can't get it to come out of a loop, if I take the back cover off it will start up. I thought maybe it was the connection on the back cover so I put a piece of tape over it but it still does it, but even now it is working with the back cover off but randomly reboots. Its always like this, my signal drops to no bars with the red x and then freezes then reboots. Sometimes it's when I wake it up, and sometimes it's when I start a program. Can anyone please give me some hope?
