Hello,
My Defy is rebooting randomly, and I'm looking for a way to know why it reboots.
I'd like to have something monitoring the reboot events, in order to tell me why it reboots exactly, which service or application is causing the reboot.
Is it possible ?
thanks.
mine reboots randomly too, but even worse is that sometimes I get "only emergency calls" and keeps that way until I turn fly mode on&off. It's very annoying because i need to keep an eye on it.
I hadn't flashed mine, maybe these issues get solve if i use another ROM?
No rom solves it. Its to do with signnal strength and 3G. You will find two more threads in same section. But no one wants to help.

Try another SIM card? I read that some SIM Defy give problems and restarts ...
i've only tried a SIM but it's new.
It seems to be a software problem, because it happens randomly and recovers signal every time i switch flight mode on and off...
It has to do with signal strength and 3G. I would suggest that is there is one particular area it does it in, note that area and contact TMobile. They have solved my issues every time I have called into them about it. I suspect part of the issue has to do with the tower.

Have read other threads on this saying same. In the US, T-Mo seems pretty good at responding to these calls.
I'm in France, so T-Mobile should provide me with no help.
However, I will give a try with a new SIM card.
The problem is when you walk into elevator or some cabin. No signal initiates reboot then and tmob cant help in such cases. Is there a developer who can help me with fine tuning one already existing app?. Its called Shutupbattery saver. It switches Off data when signal is low but it needs more modification to make it work. I am ready to pay if someone can help. This tool will also be useful to everyone to save a lot of battery in low signal areas.

Are you running wifi at the same time? I've noticed this exaggerates the problem even more. The other thing I noticed is if you phone is overclocked, put it back to stock and see if it still happens. That was one of the observations I made with both of mine.
With or without WiFi makes no difference. The phone is using official "Orange FR" 2.51.1 ROM, no root, no overclock (even no app), and it may work perfectly for several days and then start to reboot.
It rebooted during the week end. On monday I managed to stop it after several factory reset and wipe of cache. It worked on monday afternoon and tuesday ; and on wednesday morning, during the breakfast the phone restarted one time. Afterward, in the morning several reboots occured, I tried to factory reset the phone two times. The first one with no success (using the bootloader's recovery), the second one by using the "confidentiality" menu of the phone, and it stopped the reboots.
The phone have been working since 10 am and the last reset, and no reboot occured. I installed no app after this reset, I only replaced the SIM by a new one this evening.
I will try the phone like this tomorrow, and on friday I will start to reinstall my applications, and test each one prior to install the next one.

All those observations I made was with stock rom and with no/less apps. I will wait for the Scratman to come back and report his findings. Hope the sim thing works. I am damn fed up of walking into no signal zone again.
If you know the phone is going to reboot, before it does hit *#*#4636#*#* on the dial pad and let us know what the phone is connected to, signal strength, etc. I know I could alwasy tell when mine was going to do it as the phone got real sluggish and it acted almost like a kernel panic. It was a very obvious behavior.
Signal strength with 3G below 102dbm is when it reboots.

OK i came across this wonderful app called Tasker. I tried doing some stuff but this app is realllllllly complex. Can any bright mind download the app here and make a sequence which says "low signal then switch off APN".
I made some but i am pretty sure I am wrong. Here is the code for the direct download. It is a trial and will expire in 9days.

I have the same problem with random reboots.
I sent it in to Motorola and got it back now with only the speaker exchanged (!?!).
Of course now I still have the problem. Upgraded then to Finland 2.2. with Pays Mod, but reboots still sometimes (once or twice a day).
Tried ShutupBatterySaver to turn of data connection when the signal is too low --> still reboots.
I think I can remember that once somebody in this forum posted a link from the Motorola support with a bugfix, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone here knows more?
Has anyone else tried replacing their SIM with a uicc SIM? Others on the non-us Moto forum are reporting SIM replacement as a cure -- but I recommend you get the latest uicc version.
hi
i'v got mine yesterday and i have this prablem too. last night when i was sleep it happend and i woke late for my class...
sometimes when i lock the phone i cant unlock it and i have to remove battery an restart the phone...
i tried two diffrent sim but this steel hapens...
how can i fix it???
sorry for my english
Okay, so my problem is that I'm not getting data on my phone suddenly. It doesn't matter what rom I'm using, it starts off with only bars, no data. Then after a while it goes to 1x and stays there no matter what even though I'm in a strong 3G area and have gotten 3G here 24/7 before. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? My roommate is behind me with his Droid X and he has 3G so it's not on Verizon's end.

Most all of the time when I flash from a clean (Factory Reset) I need to select the data roaming boxes in the mobile network settings.
I know tech support told me something about one of them, but I can't remember which one it was or what it was about.
But I think it has to do with how close I am to Canada?
I know if I don't select at least one of them, I get NO data.
Also sometimes I cycle Airplane mode to "Motivate" 3G.
ENJOY...

I used airplane mode for a second to try and switch it and it just turned all data off again. I gave up and went to sleep, and when I woke up it was 3G again. Not sure what the deal was. Maybe it was verizon. I'm in Williamsport PA so maybe they're gearing up for LTE here. That would be awesome. Thanks for the responses.
EDIT: My cell standby is abnormally high. Wonder if that has anything to do with this..

Edit- just saw you're in china, so verizon is kinda useless, lol. sorry man...
Swap the ESN by moving your number over to a spare Verizon smartphone, then right back to your old phone. This forces the data stream to switch, and if it got corrupted it will be reset. Please note you MUST do this between two smartphones so you keep your data plan intact.
I believe verizon can do this from customer support if you don't have a spare smartphone, but i haven't tried it.
Thanks i will have a try
Up , anyone have a good idea for us ？

Letitride & artvandelay440 just helped me out with this, call *228 and use option 1, then after its done call back and use option 2, this worked for me, i had no service, but now i'm back on 3G.
The problem now is i am not in US ,so this method don't work for me in China .
Any other methods ?
Ok, tried this in a couple of Marshmallow ROM threads and found just one other person who experiences the same, so I decided to make a thread and maybe find a solution or at least the cause for my problem.
I tried several new 20A Marshmallow ROMs on my H815 EUR G4 and always get the same slow Wi-Fi speeds problem. I notice it the most in Google Play And Youtube load times but also in the browser. When I fire up YouTube I usually have to wait between 5 and 10 seconds for the content to show up. Similiar is with Google Play when I have to wait for the graphics, app thumbs and stuff to show up.
As soon as I switch to Mobile data it flies, and yes, I tried it on another Wi-Fi spots. it's the same. When I go back to lollipop it flies. WTF?
One thing I notice is when my phone on MM first connects to Wi-Fi connection it briefly shows an exclamation mark which disappears in a few seconds.
If someone has any idea what this could be causing, i would appreciate it.
Thanks
I would guess it has to do with DNS requesting, maybe on wifi you have custom DNS servers ? (which you can't change on mobile, you're bound to your carrier's ones)
maybe also your router quite does not like seeing you phone with some settings (firewall ? other ?) bound to the lolipop version of the phone, and just after that the same MAC adress with other settings (MM) => have you tried to reboot / reset your router ?

I have just installed MM, and I experience 'hangs' when on Wi-Fi.
Same issue here - any idea on how to fix that?
Update: the problem only seems to occur, when Bluetooth is on *confused*
WiFi is just bloody awful on this phone
Same here. It's annoying!
Tried with several Wifi-networks.
Did 3 hard-resets. After these wifi is ok for 2-3 days. then broken again. Ping-times at 2-3 seconds (!).
Please see my other post here.

No problems for me, it works fine. Stock 6.0, locked bootloader.
Some issues may appear if the router changes the channel, but otherwise it's fine.

As said before. Disabling Bluetooth (for a while) fixed this for me.
Since weeks now no problems.
Two days ago I got Android Pie update and recently I noticed some issues with following apps:
YouTube
Nintendo Switch Online
System update
Signal Private Messenger (well, this works sometimes...)
The issue is that those apps stoped working on WiFi. They work fine when I use mobile data (cellular connection) but simply refuse to connect when I use WiFi. Other apps work just fine (including web browser - Chrome).
What I have already tried:
Forgetting WiFi network and registering it again
Completely resetting network settings
Restarting phone
Cleared app data and cache for those problematic apps
Reinstalled the apps that can be reinstalled
None of the above helped fix the problem... Phone has stock Android straight from Xiaomi, I didn't mangled with it in any way.
For my WiFi is broken since Pie update.
In my case, Twitter and Twitch app refuse to load too. Even Google Photos wont sync, it says "waiting for WiFi connection" besides WLAN is in ON and working.
Cant access certain sites.
Funny thing is that, for eg twitch app won't work, while in the same time mobile version of twitch works perfectly fine

Good to know, I was thinking about doing that...
It is really hard to do something about it. I played around with DNS settings (they added that in Pie) but even changing DNS didn't seem to resolve the issue although YouTube started to work (for now at least, but I don't think that has anything to do with DNS changes). Other apps from my list are still broken...
Same issue for me when I was on stock Pie. I don't know why, but using a VPN fixes the issue for me if this can help
Im thinking about flashing CAF kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/caf-caf-kernel-mi-a2-lite-daisy-t3880135
It is using different WLAN driver. But this requires unlocked bootloader, and this will cause another data wipe... Also there is no certainty that this will fix the problem.
Have you tried connect to another WiFi? Maybe this is releted to ipv6/MAC adress/DNS. Router/Access point issue?
From what I see phones gets IPv4 address BUT it has two DNS addresses. One is IPv6 and the other one is IPv4. I think both point to my router. I haven't changed anything in router configuration and WiFi worked fine on Oreo... I will try different WiFi network tomorrow at work
Do you have bluetooth on? I found out that when m bluetooth is on, WiFi conwction ia really bad. This os only on pie.
Check out my thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/bluetooth-wifi-conflict-pie-update-t3883829
So, I tested my phone on my office WiFi and surprisingly apps that I mentioned on my list worked. It seems that Android Pie on my Mi A2 Lite doesn't work well with IPv6 WiFi networks. Office WiFi is IPv4 only and assigns two IPv4 DNS addresses while my home WiFi assigns two addresses as well, but one of them is IPv6. I will try to recofigure my home network and see if that will help (I guess @ShadyTurtle334 mentioned something about possible IPv6 problems)
Yep, switching network to IPv4 only works like a charm. Android Pie must have broken something because on Oreo everything was fine... Does Xiaomi has some sort of issue tracker?
Maybe post your findings here https://en.miui.com/forum-205-1.html
Yes, it is MIUI forum, but our A2 Lite is listed there, so i cant imagine better place.
Also, you should have app for that, i am not sure how is called in your language (orange icon with smiley emoticon?)
It seems that my Router/AP doesnt have options for ip configuration, maybe i am blind.
edit1; There are similar threads already. https://en.miui.com/thread-5119175-1-1.html
edit2; Forced IPv4 in AP settings, now WiFI works like a charm!!
WIFI Problem after PIE update
Hi, Irecently updated my phone to Android 9.
My phone model is:MI A2 LITE
There is a problem with WIFI. Some applications such as Instagram, google play game or Telegram cant use internet.
Somehow something like Firewall stop them, But other applications such as web browser,play store,... are connected to internet.
When I am using my SIM CARD data there isn't this peoblem.
I dont think the problem would relate to modem or wifi , because other mobile models dont have this problem and theyre working without any interruption.
Thank you to pay attention. Please say me how to provide this problem.

The only way to fix network problems is to flash again to 9.6.4.0 Oreo and stick with it or 10.0.2.0 and OTA update to 10.0.3.0. Other versions seems to have corrupted modem.img and mess with SIM cards slots (swaps places and/or one of the SIM isn't working). Just check my other posts.
I never had problems after flashing 10.0.3.0 and I did it several times. There is no corrupted modem.img or something like that. These problems may occur when you downgrade from Pie to Oreo, that's why Xiaomi warned about it.

Well no. Issues with the network started after OTA update to 9.6.11.0 thus the only way was to update further to Pie or to downgrade. I updated but issues persisted so the only way was to downgrade and reprogram sim slots.
All of this may be because of different parts' vendors so not all of the A2 Lite react the same, or you just didn't notice, because you don't use two sim cards at a time or/and bt, wifi & location at the same time. It may be max 1 mbit you can achieve on the wifi but for a phone is a decent speed. Personally I can't stand it, so I dirty flash 10.0.2.0 and now everything work as it should.
This is about network problems on Pie. So either you can't read or just stupidly assumed that everyone had their devices downgraded, then updated and thus network issues. And if you weren't be so lazy and read further, you would have known that modem.img from Oreo can solve network issues.

@thorin0815 And why would you flash several times if there were no problems at all? Reseting yeah to start fresh but flashing means something's wrong.
@wenna.speedy Turning off & on some features or messing with your modem settings while other devices work properly is not a solution.

How absolutely F**KING ANNOYING!!!
Here, in my area, I was told to reset the network every time I had an issue, the problem with that, is that I have to reestablish ALL of my network connections again (WiFi and BT mainly which is a PITA)... so... I used Airplane Mode on and then waited and then off and let it reconnect and this works about 60% of the time.
I want to try this to see if it helps, but holy hell why when you lose it after a reboot? I auto-reboot once a week and manually sometimes when I really can't get Data without restarting.
Painful.

Yes, you have to redo it after a reboot, but it doesn't take long to do, and I haven't tried it, but you might be able to just do the "apply" option since the asterisks are still there after the reboot. This should fix the problem you get for data, so you shouldn't have to reboot for that reason anymore.
ETA: I researched what the Block AP option was and that apparently will prevent you from having to redo this after reboot!

I did this based on a post on Samsung Members previously (you can see that screenshot in my post in the cell reception thread here), but I haven't seen the instructions with the Block AP option in it. What does that do, do you know?
I've seen instructions with both the SA and NSA versions of the 5G selections to choose, too.
ETA: Based on my research, the Block by AP option prevents you from having to redo this after rebooting the phone.
Thanks guys! I just did this and I guess we'll see over the next few days how this works.
Yeah, one day out and I am STILL having connection issues, even after applying these settings. I am going to head to a T-Mobile store later and throw this thing (well, something else) at them and tell them to figure it out.
Nah, the guys at the store are awesome, I'll see what they have to say.

Strange. What are your connection issues? Maybe it is something different than everyone else is having. I hope the store can help you, as I've never been to a T-mobile store and only have been in a Sprint store like three times (before online phone ordering) in the 21 years I've been using their service, so I don't know how much the store people know.
The problem is the mainboard itself, I got replacement from Samsung, which has perfect connection on Android 11, I updated to 12 without any issue. I tried to downgrade the old one back to 11 and the connection issue is still there.

This does not happen all the time, but it happens often enough to where I am worried about work (I am On-Call most of the time and need to be able to get calls).
I am on WiFi when home. Pretty normal.
I leave home and I MIGHT have data/voice
If I do not, I normally put my phone in Airplane Mode and then back out again and things are okay
If I am driving and move to a new tower, there is a 50/50 change I will need to airplane mode again to get voice/data
Resetting network connections (which is what T-Mo told me to do every time) works, but then you have to log back into WiFi and reconnect all your BT devices again, so this is definitely a NO-GO for me.
edit: Here are my settings using the instructions in the OP:
Just curious, but why do folks think this is a hardware issue ? Everyone's hardware failed after update ? I have the issue but following the procedure in the service menu seemed to take care of it for now at least .

I haven't had problems when driving around locally or two hours away (prior to this temporary fix, but I've had the issue for a while, not just since 12 came out; I haven't driven far since applying the fix, but don't think I have had an issue with it - I did have an issue with WiFi tethering not connecting to my car stereo one day, but I don't know if that was after the fix or not).
ETA: I checked my Google Maps Timelime and that tethering issue happened before the fix.
We lost internet here at work the other day, turned on tethering on the device, laptop would connect but no internet.

Do you have tethering as part of your cell plan? If not, it might not allow you to use it even if you are willing to pay for it. Tethering works well on this phone for me, although T-mobile removed Bluetooth tethering as an option for some reason, so only WiFi tethering is an option. My plan comes with 60 GB of tethering, so no issues for me.
It's part of our family plan.
So, just an update here.
When I originally made the changes, somehow it reverted and the issue still persisted.
I have the changes applied now and have done a few reboots and the settings have stuck.
I have NOT had the issues I explained above since these settings have "stuck", so take that as you like, but as of now, I have not had connectivity issues and all seems to be working well.
I did those settings yesterday afternoon and made it worse..........wouldn't pick up 5g. Finally did a chat session with T-mobile and finally got 5g again.
I did notice earlier in the week that the device kept dropping calls left and right, not sure what was causing that.

Did T-mobile say anything about fixing these issues?
No.
So 3 weeks in after the update and still experiencing horrible data network issues. I drive a lot and this thing has become pretty much unusable on the road. Tmobile offered me to either receive a refurbished Fold 3 as a replacement or to switch to different phone altogether. As much as I love the Fold 3, I might not have any other choice. Have you guys replaced your Fold 3?

I don't have the money to switch to a different phone even if I wanted to, but I love this phone. I just hope they fix it so it can roam. I have the temporary fix on it and that makes it work, but roaming will be helpful for longer driving distances, especially since I tether my Android car stereo to my phone for Google Maps while driving and other apps while sitting in a parking lot etc.
Does the temporary fix not work for you?
