Artemis turns off during phone call

Hi,
my Artemis turns off every now and then and I'm getting a bit pissed off by the phone. Because it happens exspecially when I'm talking to someone. The error occurred first about two weeks ago and i tried to fix wit an hard reset, but that didn't worked out. I also don't think it has anything to do with the battery, since it also turns off while being connected to the charger.
If anyone knows help, I would be grateful.

i had the same problem and the solution is ......
a new battery

My XDA Orbit is doing the same thing - randomly switching off when in use (either phone call or browsing the web). Its being doing this for over the last two to three weeks and I, too, am getting pissed off with it. My Orbit is over two years old so I'm suspecting the battery although the battery meter states everything is OK. I've just purchase a new battery on-line and, when I receive, I'll let you know if it cures the resetting issue.
Alistair

thanx, that is at least a problem with an easy solution.
@ ajmcfarlane: thx, I'll wait for your post.

Received battery on Saturday and early indications look as though it has cured the problem of the phone resetting. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Alistair

great, I'll order a battery right away

i also got same problem in my p3300 so did changing battry really solvd problms?

It will cure it.

awesome.. i think most of us have purchase this amazing handset more or less the same time..
all of our devices loosing out on batt.... no bad..
can any one please update the price of a new battery ?
i am in india now.. will be going to singapore this month end to watch the formula 1.. are there any options to buy it in singapore to save some money on it ??
how much is the new batt ??

I have over 200 of these devices in their various guises, and I can tell you that this is a very common problem. If you are lucky you only need change the battery and the device will be fine. If that does not improve matters then good luck as I am yet to find a solution when the problem is not simply the battery. At the moment my best effort is to flash the device with an upto date original ROM and change the battery. It seems to help but I can't say it fixes them as I have not monitored how the reflashed devices perform yet. I will post when I have used the reflashed devices for a few months and see how they go on

Hi radcarash,
do you have any findings? I got the same issue with one Artemis, and it seams the battery change doesn't help at all. I'm just wondering if you found already another solution to cure this world wide problem.

Random (and ghostly) touches on screen

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!

I guess its time for a replacement.

Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...

it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first

I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:

I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

I also had this problem and I sent it to service center (Still in warranty period). They replaced my phone touch screen and the problem is solved.

Thanks.
It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem

So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...

I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

That's exactly the SAME situation the occurred today, almost threw at a wall...when data is on heavy usage, it gets worse...I'll try this, but I seriously thinking about to get a new Moto G...'cause this digitizer gonna take a long time to arrive at my country
Thanks for ur information, dude!

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

Where did you get the eu one? My screen has been like that for a long while, I have learned to live with it, but would love to change it.
thanks

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.

Must have gotten a dud. Any ideas?

I ordered the Zenwatch during those few hours they were first available online at best buy. I picked it up yesterday and only have a few days left before I need to return my Sony Smartwatch 3. I want to decide between the two, and was leaning towards the Zen because of aesthetics and I actually like the charging cradle design.....
BUT, this watch lags like crazy and then freezes completely within a few minutes of booting. Even the very first time I turned it on, it took forget to register what I had selected for language. After rebooting, I got past that and it eventually installed a software update. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to help.
After 1 or 2 cycles of dimming the screen and being woken up, the watch freezes. The phone still thinks it is connected and I can feel it vibrate when swiping down to mute/unmute, but the graphics are frozen. The side drawer doesn't activate and the only way to shut it down is to hold the power button for 10sec or so.
I've done multiple "resets" on the watch and repaired the phone, but it keeps acting the same. Is there a hard reset for this watch? Anyone else experience this?
I'd exchange it at best buy but of course they are sold out so who knows how long before they can exchange it.

This happened to me when I had the 360. It froze when I was trying to turn it off. I eventually got it off, just like you did. It never responded the same afterwards. It would freeze at random times. I assumed it was the TI processor in the 360, but I hope this is not something to expect with AW. I took mine back to BB and got a refund so I could get this watch. I hope this is an isolated event.

All the reviews have been stellar and people have seemed happy even on the fortune, so I'm sure this is isolated.
I wonder if there is a way to reload the system software from the computer to the watch? Best buy is a no-go at this time. Sold out and unable to help aside from returning and refunding it.

Based on the tracking status, I should get mine tomorrow. I'll let you know if I experience any funny business when I get mine up and running. Good Luck.

I really haven't noticed any significant lag. It's initially unresponsive sometimes which I attribute to an overly conservative cpu governor, but otherwise it's a pleasant experience.

I've had mine for almost a week now and definitely haven't seen those problems. There were updates to both the watch and phone app soon after starting up. Maybe you got a bad load on one of them. Have you tried the 'Resync apps' option from the Android Wear (Phone) settings menu? Have you tried the full factory reset of the watch? If so, sounds like dud might be the case. If of any significance, I'm connecting via a stock Sprint HTC One Max.

Yes, the watch did an update after the first successful boot, but it was laggy and had frozen during the language setup even the first time. I've done multiple factory resets to no avail, but it does not repeat the update with that (though it does require pairing to the phone again).
I wish I could manually reload the watch system software. I'm new to Android wear rooting,etc. Is it possible to manually completely reload the system software?
Yes, I've also tried the resync apps and have the latest phone software as well...

I would maybe try once with a different phone then call it a dud. I don't know enough about it either to go deeper than that.

Saga over. Returned the watch today after trying clean installs of everything last night. It would even freeze when not connected. Sucks to get a dud, but glad this seems to be a unique occurrence.
Trying out the LG G watch R (what a horrible name). Big and sporty instead of subdued, but nice nonetheless.

I was having similar issues but wanted a couple days with the watch before i posted, I just requested a RMA for the watch, love the look of it, but was having issues with random reboots, very laggy ui especially when browsing through watch faces..had one time where the watch actually locked up and required a hard reset via the button on the back..also got significant battery drain, 2 percent every it seemed 10 minutes....Hopefully the replacement is better than this one...I could live with some of the issues, but the random rebooting i can't deal with. If the 2nd is a dud mite get the sony, till then back to my trusty g watch.

Did you get your watch back? I have to send mine in too because the battery dies in 5 hours without even touching it. ASUS said it is a bug with the lollipop update so they are going to re-flash it. Also did you have to ship it yourself or did you get something in the mail.

[Q] Lg G3 Turning Off Still Speaker Phone and Camera ...

hey guys, im new here but thought this would be the best place to ask.
i am having a problem with my lg g3 since i bought it, at first the phone would randomly turn off when using the camera and i would have remove the back cover and remove the battery for a few seconds just for it to be able to turn back on again, which as you can imagine with a brand new high end phone incredibly frustrating!!
a few months down the line i am having a different problem this time, whenever i have the phone on speaker phone in a call it does it again and instantly turns off. even if i take the battery out it doesn't come back on i have to leave the battery out for about a minute or 2 before it will switch back on. i have returned the phone on the first instance a week after i bought it but now i dont know what to do.. it seems it must be a widespread issue with the phone as i have gone through 3 of the same devices from the store and they all do it.
has anyone else had the same problem on here, and does anyone know the solution to it?
thanks so much for reading hope you have time to help me out as im not very experienced in phone issues.
ps these recaptcha are umm different shall i say.. ive been here for 5mins trying to get one correct am i being stupid?

360 Charging issue - Display pulses on charger and does not advance

I got my 360 a couple of months ago and I had no issues with it at all until a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes it would stop charging at around 60%. Started happening more frequently and then I noticed when it had been on the charger for a while, the display would brighten and then dim and repeatedly pulse like this and quit charging. I only found one reference online about this and it suggested a problem with the internal charging hardware so I took it back to AT&T and exchanged it for a new one under warranty. The new one is doing the same thing so now I am wondering if it is a 5.0.2 issue but I am not seeing any outcry over it.
I am kind of at a loss as to what to do here. Looking for suggestions from other users. Have any of you heard of this problem and can point me in a direction for help? My next step is to contact Motorola but not looking forward to that.
Thanks in advance

Do you have watchmaker installed for faces if so there is a bug in 3.3.2 it should be resolved in 3.3.3 testing beata now this is refering to the bright to dim while charging
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Yes I do have watchmaker! I have Facer as well but it has been crashing for weeks now so rarely use it. Will suck to lose watchmaker even for a little while but if that fixes it, then it will be a big relief. Thanks for the tip, i will give it a try.

Temp solution it to use a stock face

Theres lots of good others anyways, use the moto connect for now for a custom one. I know its not the best but it still works...

Facer is the biggest battery hogger in Moto 360 if u have it installed.
Even if u dont use Facer it still has its processes running in the background.
I too faced this issue earlier but a reset fixed this for me.
