HTC Droid Eris :: Phone Restarted Itself
May 10, 2010
I was on this very forum typing a reply using Uber Keyboard. I was using dolphin. All of a sudden the options screen for Uber Keyboard (BTW, I don't like it anymore. only got it for the speech to text feature) popped up and kindof self navigated to a deeper menu. I tried using the back button. This cause all of the buttons/keys to light up full brightness and then the screen went black, but the keys stayed lit. I tried pressing the end key but nothing happened. Then all of a sudden the the Android and Verizon splash logo's came up (very fast, not anywhere near as long as when you power on the phone). The phone came back to a normal state as it usually does from a power on and everything is fine.

I just did a *228 and my phone had an on screen notification (not in the bar) that said something about OTA, and my phone restarted.

I was sending a text using the shapewriter keyboard and was trying to put it to landscape mode when it wouldn't react...i was trying to press back and the phone wouldn't respond and then all of a sudden it just restarted on me...on top of that once the phone restarted I was trying to turn on 4G but I couldn't even get the option to be available...it looked as though it was blacked out while I had no problem turning on everything else...here is a screenshot...
I had to restart the phone in order for 4G to become available again...since then shapewriter has constantly "force close" on me...I don't know if that is the issue since I just installed it today Should I take the phone back because it just randomly restarted on me and the 4G wouldn't work? Anyone else have this happen to them?

I got an Xperia X8 on 22nd October. The phone is very good to use. Its touch response is perfect. The speed is good. But the phone restarted the first day when I played the demo video. Within 5 days the phone has restarted for about 4 times when I was playing other videos. How to get rid of this problem?

I was sitting at my work desk and my phone restarted itself out of nowhere. No updating was done, I was at 55% battery and it wasn't even touched. I was at my desk for about 30 minutes straight, it's laying face up and I saw the phone restart.

Yesterday I got notice that an update was avail on my Ally, but wife didn't get the message(?) so I accepted the update but was low on battery. I connected to a charger. Walked away as it was taking a wile. Forgot about it and today its acting all kind of crazy! everytime I press menu the camera pops up or it restarts! I checked and it still shows 2.1 update 1 in the phone info. Took a few times to get to it as everytime I tried to check it the phone restarted. I want to backup my messages and reformat it and see if it helps! Anyone know of a good app to backup the phone with?

I have a long lived service, it wakes up (via the AlarmManager) at intervals and connects to a web server. If the phone goes to sleep and one of my polling intervals happens the phone wakes up enough to let me attempt to connect to the network but the ConnectionManager claims there is no network. Given the system log this is correct, it was torn down. Pushing "Menu" once is enough to get the network back up and then my service can connect. How do I get the network to reconstruct itself?

I just ran across the 'PAW Server' app and it's pretty neat so far. I don't want to use it with http though, so I enabled https and restarted the app. It doesn't work at all now. I enabled bluetooth so I could manually update the config file on the sdcard and restart the server in http mode. It instantly started working again. I've tried a couple of different ports but can't get the https mode to work at all. The docs say that it will be slower which is understandable, but since it's not working at all I have to assume that I'm doing something wrong and missing something obvious. Anyone else using the PAW Server app with https enabled?

This is where it gets weird. When I tried to call out from my DINC, it would start dialing, then simply stop and say "call ended". During this apparent outage, CityID (worst crapware ever!) reactivated itself after a month and a half of being done with my trial (got the DINC on 4/29). Even though my calls weren't going through, CityID was identifying the location of the numbers I was trying to call.
After a couple hours, service resumed, everything was fine and CityID stopped working again (thankfully). When I go to my call history, all the numbers that I tried to call during that time have the city and state information from CityID. All the numbers before and after do not? Weird! I thought after the two week trial it was supposed to go dormant? I hope it never reactivates again as it has never, not once, been correct regarding the location of the number calling.

I have an Android application with a background running Service. When the Service crashes or gets killed by Android I can see that Android tries to restart it again. However the Service never actually restarts, I can see Android scheduling the restart but it new actually happens.
My code is as follows:.................

From what I can tell -- if you return START_NOT_STICKY from Service.onStartCommand(...), the system should not restart a service if it crashes. However, I'm not seeing that behavior -- any ideas on what could be restarting the service?

I know on screen orientation changes activity restarted, but suppose i don't want to restart the activity then what should I do? I had tried it by adding in manifest.xml. android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
and override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); }
But still activity restarted each time when I change screen orientation.

I have an activity (say activity A) which displays video using a mediaplayer, rendered in a surfaceview.
The use case is to pause the video, start another activity (say activity B), then come back to activity A.
Activity A is stopped but not destroyed when going to B, which is good.
The surface view (since not visibile) IS destroyed (as observed from the notification callbacks). When coming back to activity A, and restarting the mediaplayer using start(), the media player does play back the audio, but video is not seen. Errors like this one are output on Logcat:
CODE;......
Unfortunately, using the new instance of SurfaceHolder as provided by surfaceCreated() doesn't help (i.e. provides the same error).
I have read in various posts a solution would be to reset the mediaplayer and restart it completely, however it is not efficient, as the end user would have to wait for the whole player preparation cycle + seekTo last position within the stream.
As shown with the fact the audio plays back, it should be a matter of plumbing between the the video decoder and the new surfaceholder/view.
What should be the best solution (best = fastest) to resume video playback when resuming the activity?

This is my first ever smart phone and android phone so excuse me if this is a silly question! I've noticed that after closing the web browser (well hitting the home key as there is no obvious exit option) and then re-opening it, the browser shows the page I was last at which makes me wonder if it's still running in the background and consuming battery (same with the PDF viewer). Am I right in thinking this and if so how do I close it?

I have a service that needs to hold a persistent TCP connection, think IM. I'm reluctant to use setForeground() - the service being down temporarily isn't that big a deal, and I am assume I can trust that I'll be run again once memory is available, correct? The problem here is this. The service was started via startService() before being killed. However, when it is restarted, only onCreate() is executed. This makes it hard to continue, because starting work onCreate() means I can't even bind to the service (to say query it's status) without it doing so. Is this a bug or per design? What is the status of the service after it is being restarted? Is it consider "started" by the system, i.e. waiting for a call to stopService()?

I have noticed that if my background service crashes the system will automatically restart the service after 5 seconds. This is great, but I have noticed that only the onCreate method gets called and not the onStart method. Does this mean the service is properly restarted or do I need to do something special in the onCreate method to make sure it is? I did have my initialisation logic in the onCreate method and my starting service logic in the onStart method but it looks like it will all have to be in the onCreate method.

Suppose you have a download service that downloads files asynchronously. For each download intent received it will put the URL of the file to download and the start ID into a job queue and return START_REDELIVER_INTENT. A worker thread then processes that list and calls stopSelf with the start ID it just processed. My question is: If the service's process gets killed and the service restarted, will the service receive all the intents (with the URLs) it hasn't called stopSelf on before it was killed or does the service receive the last intent only? It seems the API docs are ambiguous on this.
The docs say
"if this service's process is killed while it is started [...], then it will be scheduled for a restart and the last delivered Intent re- delivered to it again [...]", indicating that only the last intent gets redelivered (which would be terrible in this use case), but they also say "The service will [...] be re-started if it is not finished processing all Intents sent to it (and any such pending events will be delivered at the point of restart)."

Whenever I open the "phone interface" to make a call, everything becomes much more sluggish, i.e. when I hit dial, or speakerphone button, there's an input lag. Droid Eris on 1.5.

I am going to try taking my eris in to get it exchanged because of the silent phone problem. I am on leak 3. I have some questions first though.
- Will I even be able to have a legitimate complaint if I am on a leaked version?
- Will a new eris come with 2.1 or 1.5?
- if the new eris has 2.1 what are the chances of this happening again?
I cant stand having to reboot to use my phone as a phone.

we are developing an application where we are depending on a native, custom-written library which sometimes crashes. When the Activity crashes (it's the Activity's SurfaceView that crashes, either while resuming or pausing Activity) we would like to automatically restart the Activity that was just running, preferably without seeing the idle screen in between. What we find strange is that sometimes, our Activity is restarted by Android automatically after the crash, and sometimes not. How does Android decide this? Is it somehow dependant on exactly what the Activity was doing at the time of the crash and if that was considered important enough to restart? How can we force a restart to make sure the Activity doesn't quit after a crash? Running on device flashed with Android 1.5. The Activity is running as singleInstance. Doesn't seem to make much difference which mode it is though. Other methods we have tried are:
1) Since we can predict when crash is going to happen(but not stop it), use AlamrManager to start the Activity again via an Intent, 3 seconds later. Has the disadvantages that 1) need to be able to predict crash 2) if crash takes longer than 3 seconds (normally about 2s) it won't work 3) Idle screen is seen for about ~1 s, since some slack is needed.
2) Start a Service, then let the Service (which always seems to be restarted by Android after crashing) start the Activity in its onStart method. Has the disadvantage that Android doesn't restart the service until 5 seconds after the crash, so the idle screen is seen quite along time before Activity restarts. Is it possible to modify how long it takes before the Service is restarted by the Android system?

Is there any way to get the stock Android Messaging app on the Eris? I hate the HTC messaging app; it's so slow and leggy. I also hate Handcent and Chomp. Is there any way I could get the stock Android SMS app? Or does this require rooting or what?

I was wondering what was the best SMS/MMS app everyone was using or are most of you using the default messaging on the Eris? I've been hearing different reviews regarding the Handcent vs. Chomp. Is there anything else out there that is pretty good? I actually like the default messaging on the Eris because it shows my pic and the contact's pic during the conversation. The only thing I really don't like is that you don't know when you reach your 160 characters because it doesn't have a counter (or does it and I don't have it activated maybe?).

First I must say I'm enjoining the transition from blackberry storm to HTC Eris. I'm curiosity to know if there is an app that cuts the phone off during the late night hours and then wakes it up in the morning. Or is there a setting built into the phone?

How do I power the phone off? Is there a manual somewhere out there? Mine only came with a book called 'Tips, Hints and Shortcuts.' I have a mac... is there anyway to sync this to my computer? Also how do I put files onto the phone... I have mounted the phone onto computer and can see it but I don't know where to put the files. When using the phone, can you rename folders? How do you manage these folders? Also is there a way to remove all the crap software that comes loaded.... amazonmp3, no thanks!.... Peep, no thanks!.... I read about "rooting" but this seems complicated, is there maybe an application that does it for you?
