[Q] MIUI rooted Desire randomly restarts

So, I have HTC Desire with rooted MIUI rom for a while.
HTC Desire, GSM, MIUI 2.1.6
It was okay until 5th January. I have about 25 installed apps and anything was fine. Few days ago I noticed strange "Force stop" in apps like Twitter, Foursquare, Internet Browser.
Then the same started to happen with random restarts of the phone. The phone simply started, then restarted and entered into bootscreen loop, so I ejected battery and inserted and so on. Clearing Dalvik Cache doesn't help.
Also when I try to enter Wi-Fi settings it freezes and gives out "Force close application?" That's just ridiculous!
I have lately updated from previous MIUI version 2.1.4 because that problem started there, but with no changes.
Can you please help here?

i have always faced similar issues with MIUI , my phone doesnt like it
so i have simply stopped using it
edit: if you still want to use MIUI id suggest you stick with a stable version for a while rather than weekly updates

Well, it really might be like that. Seems like I fixed those issues by doing a full phone wipe and fresh flash. Which release can you suggest me?

Wich releases did you try before ?

I have MIUI on mine and flash each update. The biggest issue I have is that it tries to update and always fails with an E:\SDCard error in recovery. I just download and then flash the full rom (no wipes) and it works a treat. The one issue I have with 2.16 is that SMS messages disappear below my 'Better Keyboard' where they didn't in the version prior. I've switched to Android keyboard now but have yet to see if the issue persists. That said, it is by far the most stable ROM I've ever used and I'm running 40+ apps on it with zero problems.

As far as it is, it looks fine. No big problems at all. The only issue is that I backed up 5000+ messages back to phone, I like to store them there. Sometimes seems like it is a little hard for android to hold so many sms's.

no service on gio

i flashed the CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5, everything seemed to work fine, then i noticed that i wasn't getting any service at all. i then tried cyanogen 7.2 and same story. 7.2 is letting me make 911 calls unlike the ics rom.
can anyone help me pin the problem down and fix it? please and many thanks

i'm now in an endless boot cycle...
is there a guide to just to back to stock?

Flash stock rom via Odin if u want
@wiwid_colgate
Galaxy Gio S5660
#GalaxyICS

it was a supposed stock oden flash that caused me the never ending boot cycle

Odin does not reformat the /data and /cache partitions. Which would cause bootloops on a stock kernel that doesn't know how to handle ext4.
Use an RFS compatible recovery. Otherwise dd back empty RFS partitions back into place.

i had some problems with setting other launcher than adw on default. next time i'd restart the phone it got stucked at samsung logo. So i didn't set my favorite launcher on default and problems were solved. maybe it'll help.

For me the same prob. no service with CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 and cyanogen 7.2.
After that i flash with "S5660XXKTI - SER" (One Package-Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread stock)with odin and it runs like a train....(not like the dutch trains)
Do a full whipe before and after flashing.

lol. that sentence has to be explained for people outside of the netherlands...
our train service is well known because of not driving trains when it freezes, a bit. like -10 degrees and ''wissels'' the things that make sure a train can move from railroad to another railroad, something like this..
we know much about water and dikes, but not about trainrail.
lol

You can try another stock firmware go back to 2.2.1 Froyo or 2.3.3. Gingerbread.
And don't forget to select Wipe data/factory reset before and after flashing.
Check if everything is working,if so than flash 3.3.6.
More i really don't no.
Maybe it has to do something about the "radio" you can found out by search here on xda.

[Q] Help: Gps not working as it should.

Hey guys,
My gps isn't working accurate.
First off it worked pretty good but when I changed to a custom rom (android revolution Hd) it didn't anymore.
When i use google maps, it takes a damn long time to get a fix on my position and when it does it stays accurate for about 5 seconds and then it starts to change to a street next to me then to another side... etc. . Also when i am standing still it jumps for my location to 50meters ahead of me and behind me, changing my speed to 20km/h ... I think you get the problem. Also the same problem on navigon (navigation software) it is constanly rerouting me because of the inaccurate position. So its not an application issue.
I flashed the rom as it should be, with boot.img through fastboot and zip file in cwm. Except for the gps there are no other issues.
Then i flashed the original rom in cwm with boot.img in fastboot, still the same problem.
I then tried CM10 and it became even worse... every 20 seconds it gave me a position update in maps and with navigon there wasn't even a update because it couldn't get a fix.
And i also used fasterfix on every rom except the original one (not rooted) to set my gps to europe.pool.ntp.org or something like that...
Now i am trying to revert to android revolution HD but first my battery has to be charged above 10% and it goes damn slow because of the bricked boot (made a mistake while changing form CM10 to And rev HD) Can't flash the and rev HD yet but does somebody in the meantime know a solution ?

Somebody ??
Could it be a problem with the kernel ? because i didn't flash one separatly

Does somebody has a solution ?

Unfortunately, I also have the same problem with rom coredroid and igo primo aid to some expert please
thanks

I had the same issue when I moved from Stock to the Modaco Ir5 Vanilla ROM, my GPS didn't even go as far as finding my location inaccurately, it didn't work at all. Hence I couldn't use my maps/navigation.
I am now running the Slim Bean ROM and everything is working great. I am no expert, but have you always done the usual 'full wipe data > clear cache partition > clear Dalvik cache' while flashing new ROMs?
For your charging issue, maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646135

My phone is now allright but you i'll try the rom you are speaking about and see if the gps works better.
and... Also tried another kernel (eternity) but it still didn't work

I had this issue and had it fixed after sending my phone to service 3 times.
The first time they only did a reset, didn't help.
Second time they changed the wifi, GPS module, didn't help.
I sent them a recording of the problem on the third time. This time they changed the motherboard and it finally got fixed.
Remember to tell them that the issue is specially visible when GPS and WiFi are both on.

It worked for me, but not for the faint hearted.

[Q] What is wrong with my Gnex?

Hey the Problem is the following:
3-5 random reboots every day
restarts during every phonecall after 1-3 Minutes
freezes when in standby, cant turn back on -> need to take battery out
often slow, especially when switching apps. or when typing
I have tried stock 4.3, CM10.2 recently and before that CM10.1 for a while.
I already send it in but they only said my battery is broken.
Is it possible that all my problems come from this?
I rather think my flash memory is broken? What you think?

Since yesterday I am facing the same problems you are describing. At first I thought it was a bad flash or something like that. Clean installed various 4.3 costum roms and it's always the same.
Right now I will look deeper into it since the phone is unusable in that condition.
If I find a solution I will comment.
Best regards
Edit: Okay, works again flawlessly. I simply flashed an nightly from carbon-rom and the lags were gone. Hope it helps. What exactly caused the lag I don't know. For now I am staying on 4.2.2 Carbon as it is my favourite rom anyway and I will wait till there are stable 4.3 from carbon.

Are you sure it's the phone and not an app?

Not pretty sure, but it still occured after countless factory resets, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache and wipe system via TWRP.

Have you tried a clean install without installing apps to see if you get a reboot to eliminate an app as a possible cause?

Yes I did. I only flashed for example newest PA and their PA Gapps.
So far I resolved it by "downgrading" to a 4.2.2 nightly from carbon. The lags are completly gone. I will stay and wait till carbon has stable 4.3.

why dont people try stock when they are having problems? going from 1 custom rom to the next does not prove it is the phone.
please fastboot flash the stock rom and do not restore any apps/data other than say your google acct

Already did that.

I am having the same/similar problems with my GNex too. Specifically bullets [1-3] from the original post. I am running unmodified yakjuux and have tried with just my google account with no other apps and the same problem exists.
Mine makes a noticeable "click" sound with a vibration followed by a reboot.
It usually happens during calls and after it boots the phone call log shows no record of the incoming/outgoing call that just happened. Its like a blue screen of death for android!
I have sent the phone back to Samsung's warranty service 4 separate times and each time they reported no trouble found in the completion report. They just factory reset or put an older version of jelly bean back on the phone and send it back to me with some notes of PRL updates and other nonsense to make it seem like they did something to fix it.
Does anyone have any suggestions (logs, adb, etc) how I can help prove to Samsung/service absolute that the phone is a lemon (other than trying to video tape the phone hoping it reboots - because that is the last resort)?
I already escalated to executive customer service and they refused an exchange because the completion reports show no trouble found :crying:
Thx!

well... I also have this problem.
First happened when I flash Cm10.2 nightly (don't remember which one).
Then I flash PA, or whatever... Looks like the random reboot relating to notifications? It's usually happened when whatsapp notification coming in, but not always.
But a few weeks ago I flashed stock ROM rooted (via TWRP, not fastboot).
The problems solved. No random reboots anymore. Then today I tried latest CM10.2, and it happened again... Wonder why... Looks like it's a very rare problems.
Interesting to see someone having the same problem...
Now I want to flash stock ROM via fastboot to check if it'll fix.
Btw, I can flash directly to CM 10.2 from 10.1, can't I? Or I should flash 4.3 via fastboot first?

I believe CM offers an upgrade option somewhere in the system settings. Unless you want to wipe your phone and flash directly to 10.2 in which case I do not think you need to flash stock 4.3 first. Maybe just do a reset within 10.1 before you flash CM10.2 via whatever recovery (clockwork etc) you are using but even that may be unnecessary.
My 1 year warranty expires this month so if I can't manage to get something out of Samsung I am going to play around with flashing stock 4.3 as you suggested. I have tried converting yakjuux to yakju in the past but still saw the problem then which made me revert back to yakjuux so I could send the phone back for service).

[Q] Help! WiFi disconnects/reconnects with KitKat ROMS.

Hi there!
My WiFi seems to disconnect and then reconnect every 5 to 10 minutes or so, after I have installed different KitKat ROMS. It happens with different ROMS.
My girlfriend also has a Note 2, and I also updated her phone with a KitKat ROM (Android Revolution HD), but her's doesn't disconnect at all.
You guys know what's happening here? I did flash latest MJ5 bootloader, but it says failed. Then I also flashed the WiFi Fix. In Download mode, Phone says, KNOX VOID: 1.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?
It happens a lot now..sometimes. It seems a 4.4.2 rom issue in combination with my router.
Laptop doesn't disconnect, but phone of my girlfriend does as well. On her phone I also installed a 4.4.2 rom. Different one though.

Another user from Phoenix ROM is reporting the same. WiFi keeps dropping on his phone. Which ROM did you flash on your gf's phone ? And which ROM are you using ? The guy I'm talking about first flashed a stock KK ROM and then Phoenix ROM so he's on the newest boot loader already

Hi, thanks for replying! My girlfriend (still) uses the Android Revolution 30, I use the SupremeKat. I plan to install SupremeKat on hers as well, after mine is configured and all.
Before that we both had Android Revolution version 19, which is still Android 4.1.2 I think. No WiFi problems at that time....
Any idea who it was that reported the same issues?

It was @Puffin617 he flashed the official stock ROM first and then flashed the custom 4.4 rom called Phoenix ROM and he reported that the WiFi keeps dropping. I've asked one of the users on xda who has a bit more knowledge about such things that what could be causing this cause many users are complaining about battery drain and frequent WiFi drop not sure why is it only affecting a few phones when people have flashed the same stock ROM and your case a custom ROM. If I find anything useful to share I'll get back at you. Perhaps switch custom ROM? Give Dr ketan's version 7 a shot and see if that removes the WiFi issue. Good luck

I have same problem. Stock rom - not root. It drops and reconnect every 2 or 3 minutes.
