Hey guys. So on Wednesday, I had the upgrade to Android 5.1.1 pushed to my device. I went through the upgrade process and since then, whenever I lock the device using the power button, or when the phone auto-locks, anything that was previously working in the background stops. Obviously, this makes music playing nearly impossible. Also, when I go to the Battery setting in settings, the "detail" button is greyed out. This may have to do with the fact that this is an LDU unit - with Retail mode installed. Is there any way to fix the auto-stop problem without factory resetting ?

Hi all, first time posting on this forum
Had the Desire since last Friday and for the first time tried out the FM Radio on it. All seems well at first but after a few minutes use the app just stops responding completely and the Radio continues to play whatever your currently listening to. You can still manipulate the on screen buttons but nothing happens at all. You cant change stations, re-search for stations doesnt work its just effectively stops the current station from playing, or change anything via the menu button. The app power off button on the top right stops working and the only thing you can do to make the Radio work again is rebooting the phone
This is very frustrating because i use the radio on my phone alot normally. Is this a software fault or hardware fault or something else im missing here?
This would be a software issue. Would you be willing to try a Hard Reset? By performing a Hard Reset, this will return your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on (factory settings). This will hopefully eradicate any software bugs that you are experiencing with the handset.
Note: A Hard Reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card. However, a it will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a Hard Reset.
A Hard Reset can be performed using two different methods:
Method 1: Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Method 2: Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.
I had the same issue a while ago, I haven't used the radio since as I can't be bothered with the hassle of finding out why.
Factory reset seems to have worked a charm Will test some more later but seems to have corrected a right pain of a problem
Nice easy solution, thank you Mastoid, your help was greatly appriciated

no problem Bud, anytime
No, i was wrong. It hasnt sorted the problem as its back exactly as before. Is it just a poorly written app or a fault elsewhere
Ok after the problem persisting i contacted Orange and got the handset replaced but to my disappointment the new unit is doing exactly the same thing
I havnt even been able to pinpoint what triggers this from happening. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes with it on in the background whilst casually playing with other apps, other times after it stops working and locks up after a phone call and other times after the Radio has been playing and the the phone is otherwise idle and you press the power button to bring the screen back on
The only things that are the same on both the old and new handsets are the sim, earphones, and 8gb SD card that were swapped between the old and new phone but surely they could not be the issue???
I have read on other threads/forums that a few other people are having identical problems but im really at a loss and cant believe its because i have had 2 faulty handsets in a row with the same problem
It's not a handset problem, the FM radio app locks the phone up so something is going rogue.
The strange thing is my Dad got the Desire as well and ive tested the Radio a couple of times now at length and his works perfectly without freezing up. Could it be something sim card related? I shoved in my own reformatted 8gb sandisk SD card...could there have been data on the original SD card that it accesses whilst the FM Radio is in use and as the original 4gb card's not there the Radio player locks up? Corrupted software twice on 2 seperate handsets? I really havn't got enough tech knowledge to know if these things are possibilites or if im way off track
I would guess it is most likely due to another application running in the background which is taking resources or preventing the radio application from getting resources and then the app starts to lock up. I really don't feel like removing my applications 1 by 1 and testing though.
I had a similar problem it turned out to be the task killer I was using. I put it on the ignore list and restarted the phone and its working normally now.
I don't know if its same issue as yours but might be worth a try
Unfortunately not - the only app i installed was 3G Watchdog. Suppose the only thing to do now is uninstall that too and retest
I have exactly same problem , it's totally random, we need to contact HTC about this problem , it is clearly software problem , really i think that all units are faulty ,manu people just didn't test radio yet. My friend also has same problem.
Europe stations.
ok , i just contacted htc support and their response is to try to boot desire in safe mode, i just did that , and again freeze , radio is playing in background, but GUI is totally out of sync in fm radio app , buttons doesn't react
mines been fine, mines unlocked - used radio loads this last week, on and off for around seven hours a day, is you're desire branded/locked to a network? maybe oranges software?
i've the same problem, also randomly the radio starts to scan for new stations... it's really annoying but i managed a way to stop it, simply putting my finger on the "picker" a couple of seconds stops the scan.
I've got also a problem while listening to mp3s, the phone randomly switchs between tracks when in standby.
Hi all,
I purchase my Samsung Galaxy Nexus from 3 (Three) UK Store last Thursday. It has been faultless bar the odd hang which taking the battery out has resolved. Im using it on Orange.
However, this morning I picked up my phone and was notified I had the volume bix fix update.
I downloaded and installed the update and all was well for about 20 minutes.
Then my phone started going crazy!
I think its something to do with the screen as it keeps popping up the google search bar and flicking through some options, then the screen stops responding.
Sometimes the phone flicks between home screens partially and make them jiggle!
Locking and unlocking the phone gives me 5-30 seconds of normal use, then the phone goes crazy or just doesnt respond.
Ive turned the phone off and on, removed the battery and even reset it this evening.
It doesnt do it ALL the time, and whenever I try and do it on queue, it doesnt!
Luckily tonight I got video of the phone going crazy.
Can anyone help?
The phone is bog standard, ie no roms/roots etc.
Should I take it back or is there something I can do?
Also, since ive just reset the phone, ive had to set up my mail. Once the phone behaved I put in my account details and then it started popping up the menu button at the top of email, ie to change folders or accounts etc. Deffinately seems to be something with the top of screen.
Thanks

Please check the video out.
Maybe download the original shipping rom from Google and fastboot the image onto the phone and see if the behaviour continues.

This.
There's links to the original roms with or without the volume fix in place which can be found on the development section. I used this to update my gun and its working just fine. I'm also on Three UK and the reason I did this is because even though the volume bug doesn't affect us three users I still like being 100% up to date.

My tablet recently began entering a locked blue screen state devoid of text or icon. It holds there for one to three seconds and then reboots.
Prior to the start of this rebooting sequence trend I downloaded and installed the stock ROM listed on my signature, hoping that it would alleviate some issues with delay in screen tap response, some occasional heating during gaming along with what I perceived to be a little bit of driver related lag.
I haven't figured out when, why, or how it decides to reboot. But as far as I can tell it seems to be related to [behind the scenes machinery of] Google Play (GP). I suspect this because it has happened when I've launched GP or GP tried to do some updates or software installation.
Incidentally, though possibly unrelated, when I try to add an account via settings, at the sign in page, the device returns unable to sign-in message citing connectivity issues. I am in China, so I suspect this could all be related. To get around this issue, I log into a VPN service. This allows me to sign in and add the account to the device. However, in order to play any games, I must log off the VPN. But once the account has been added to the device, it more-or-less is able to access some of the Google services (at least the ones not outright blocked -such as drive and YouTube).
In my troubleshooting attempts, I have thus far done a cache wipe and factory reset from the boot menu. All to no avail.
At this point I need to live in constant fear of a sudden reboot, for I know not when it will strike next.
I would appreciate some suggestions on either what the issue might be, how to determine the cause, or how to solve it.
Thanks
Funny story...
So Kitkat has been released, for the TGY country code.. Yay!

Is the md5 file to be put into the AP slot of Odin 3.09, for my tablet.
I was excited thinking this would address the issue.
Prior to flashing the ROM I factory reset from within the settings, then I went into the recovery boot menu and there I wiped the cache and did a factory reset once more.
Then I proceeded to setup and sign into my Google account, after flashing the ROM.
Naturally the tablet went ahead and started downloading and installing apps and updates from Google Play.
I was happy to see that it was progressing along swimmingly.
The screen dimmed down and then shutdown after period of inactivity (while downloading and installing apps in the background).
Occasionally, I'd click the home button to see tat everything was going as it ought.
I then noticed the screen turned black somewhat suddenly, without dimming first.
I thought little of it.But I went to check by pressing the home button... I figured maybe there's a little lag or the tablet is too busy installing, so I clicked the power button. Nothing; no response.
The tablet is deader than dead.
Now I don't know what to do.
After waiting a while, under the advisement of another user who apparently has also been having issues with his note 10.1 2014, I decided to try to long press the power button. The tablet came back on, and resumed downloading and updating from Google.
But now the tablet is going into this sudden blank blue screen and most of the time rebooting on its own (occasionally it needs a little help, by the pressing and holding of the power button to induce the reboot) ever so randomly. I have found absolutely nor rhyme nor reason for when or how it decides it's going to reboot itself. It tends to happen often if/when I launch some apps that require logging into Google services; but at times it happens without provocation -at all.
Recently it's been boot-looping -without the launching of any app... just from turning on, sitting idle, and then rebooting. But I'm no closer to figuring out how to consistently induce the reboot, either.
My tablet has never been rooted (and for obvious reasons, never will be), no custom ROM, no ROM from another region. Nothing that would give Samsung the excuse to void my warranty (not that it's worth much, here in China).
And yet, it still reboots at random intervals for no immediately apparent reason.
In any event, if anyone has any ideas on how to proceed, any suggestions on what to do with this POS, I'm open to suggestions.
I'm interested in general ideas such as take it to the Samsung shop (something I'm loathe to do because Samsung has terrible service -especially in China- and at best I'm looking at a month or something like that before I get it back), so some ideas on how to discover when/why/how this rebooting sequence is being triggered -and maybe troubleshoot it is slightly preferable.
Hello,
My wife's Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with model number H8324 has an issue with booting or maybe the launcher getting stuck in a loop after getting to the lock screen for a split second.
The phone seems to boot like normal and gets to the lock screen, we are even able to punch in one or two digits of the 4 digit pass code. Then it goes into a loop of the notification bar and back button flickering. From then on the phone is not responding except for the power button which brings up the normal "Turn off, Reboot, and Lockdown" menu. The issue just started out of nowhere yesterday morning and we haven't been able to fix it yet. We haven't done any rooting or custom rom flashing, it's running the official Sony software but it's out of warranty.
Here's a video showing the issue. The video shows the whole boot process but the link takes you to the last part after the logos.
We would love to get some files off it so if there is a way anyone can help us with that we'd prefer it over a hard reset.
Things we've already tried
Turning the phone off and on again
Unlocking the phone in the split second the lock screen works, this is just too short to swipe up and then put in four digits.
Rebooting the phone
Booting while charging
Booting into safe mode (this has the same issue)
Connecting the phone with USB to a pc, the phone is recognized by Windows, but it doesn't share it's filesystem with Windows.
Connecting the ADB to it, alas usb debugging is not yet enabled on the phone
Trying to get into recovery mode, we haven't been able to get into the recovery menu. Googling seems to indicate it might be holding volume up + power button when the phone is off but then it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
We're currently trying to run out the battery of the phone to see if that will resolve the issue on it's own.
If anyone has any idea, we would love to hear it.
no solution from me. But I have exact same problem and tried same things. Yesterday I did not used the phone. Day before shut down, today tunred it on and it starts with the issue. Strange it happens to both of us at the same time frame. removing sims did not help either.
By holding down "volume down+power" I was able to boot in safe mode but the same issue occur; no way to get into the phone.
Yeah that's weird. Draining the battery did nothing for us. There was not much data that we wanted to extract from the phone. Most of it was contacts and an emulated Pokémon game save file. So my wife eventually reflashed the OS with Xperia companion which did actually resolve the issue of not being able to use the phone.
I faced the same problem today ,i have xz2 , yesterday it was 24% and today i found it 0% so I put it in the charger ,but I faced this problem
Hello,
On 10/24 I upgraded my S22 to A13 and since then I have had some annoying problem with it.
Every few hours there is a problem with the gyroscope/accelerometer on my phone. When I hold the phone vertically, the screen rotates horizontally (and vice versa). When I restart the phone, the problem goes away for a few hours. The problem is in all over the phone, but the easiest way for me to detect it is by turning on the camera (the icons are in the wrong orientation).
I did a hard reset twice. I have flashed the phone after odin (two times) and nothing helped - the problem keeps coming back.
I didn't drop my phone or hit with it, so it's more likely a software problem (especially since the problem disappears after a reboot).
I also checked the diagnostic options available from the phone menu and there is always information that the sensors are working properly, even when is not a true. Test in hidden menu (*#0*#) also show "PASS".
Also the November update did not bring any improvement. Yesterday I did second flash after odin, with november system - nothing helped again.
I have no more ideas what I can do to fix this. I suspect that sending the phone to the service will end up the same - the service will upload the software again and say that the problem is solved, and it will not be true...
Bug report as well but they not helped me yet.
Have any of you encountered this problem and managed to solve it?
