HTC EVO 4G :: Magnetic Holster Closter Causing Reboot?
Jun 22, 2010
Is it possible that the magnetic closure on the HTC leather holster is causing reboots on my EVO? I've wanted a leather holster since I got the EVO, but could find one I like and fit the phone. Yesterday, I decided to purchase the HTC holster from Sprint ($29.99). Since then, my phone as rebooted at least 6 times this morning - kinda annoying. It's not an app 'cause I haven't downloaded anything in days, so I figured that maybe the magnets (which are right there by the back of the phone) are interupting something.

I originally purchased a holster off of ebay that was meant for an iPhone (seeing as they're about the same dimensions), but its clasp is magnetic and will randomly confuse the phone into thinking it's in car mode.I just got another case (this one) that has a velcro clasp and was marketed for the Droid. Well...it came in the mail today and my phone definitely doesn't fit in it.Has anyone found a decent holster that doesn't use a magnetic clasp? I found that verizon has one, has anyone tried it? I don't ever use the belt clip, so I'd like to get a case that the belt clip is removable.

Everyday I go to the gym and turn on my Motorola bluetooth headphones (Amazon.com: Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset ) and then click on the Bluetooth widget on my EVO and after two beeps, I start hearing the phone through the headphones.
When I'm done, I tap on the Bluetooth widget and the phone freezes and then reboots. Sometimes it comes up with Bluetooth still turned on and when I tap it again, it reboots again. Every single time.
When I go to Settings>Wireless and uncheck Bluetooth it often does not reboot but sometimes it does.
Since it takes for.freakin.ev.er to come back after a reboot, I'd like to streamline my process and skip the reboot part.
(Not rooted. And I've never used the Bluetooth function for anything but this one headset. When not using headset, I keep Bluetooth turned off.)

I complained before of the phone constantly rebooting itself, however i find with wifi off, it does not constantly reboot, also noticed that i get only 1 signal bar everywhere in my house on wifi, where as on 3g i get almost full bars everywhere. I dont know what this means, since im new to verizon service. Is this normal as far as losing bars depending on wifi or 3g?

I never really had an issue of reboots until recently, before I actually updated to froyo (week and a half or so) I started getting some random reboots.
Now I have been having some major problems, I am not sure if it is related to froyo or not, but i suddenly am getting a lot of more reboots, and when it does it will sometimes get stuck in a cycle of reboots and just keep going and going. Tonight it literally just kept rebooting over 10 times. I battery pulled multiple times and still was doing the same thing. Is there a reason this could be happening?
Yes I have done factory reset since install of 2.2, and actually right when i installed and did factory reset it got stuck in this cycle.
I have talked to verzion and they could not make it reboot so they said they could not do anything at the moment but put a note on the account.

So I have 2 reports now of my app causing a crash/reboot cycle the user can't always break from. I cannot reproduce this on my phone, and I am wondering what might be causing something like this? Would running out of memory or something cause this? Because I can't reproduce it, I can't look at the logs or anything.
Has anyone experiences anything similar? For reference, my app runs a foreground service which utilizes the AlarmManager. It starts automatically on boot_completed (which is probably why the cycle happens). One of the users who reported this, said it only happened when they plugged their phone into a PC.

For some reason, using the batch backup (apps + data) in Titanium is causing a reboot every time. Under the "problems?" tab it talks about Busy Box being an issue and so I installed a know good Busy Box.. which got me farther along than the first 2 attempts, but still.. it rebooted again.

I don't know what has caused this but each time I reboot my wireless is on and the screen timeout is set to 30 sec(my setting is 10min) even after adjusting it reverts back to these settings on reboot. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

I have a Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 (build JWR66Y), with the stock ROM. I recently started using other launchers, at first Nova. I did notice, however, random reboots ever since. I thought it might be some new apps, but even uinstalling them didn't solve the problem. Then I switched to Action Launcher, and after a few hours of use, the reboots started all over again.
Now I'm running only the original launcher, no troubles at all. How to solve this issue with third party launchers?

First off, I apologize if I start a new thread when one already exists. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything related to my issue.
The issue:
When I have to restart my phone, all apps stop responding, including phone, google apps, everything. I can't make calls, I don't have a signal, nothing works really. The solution: uninstall recently installed applications, and that fixes it.
However, I wonder if there is something else going on causing this. The reason: Yesterday I installed Backgrounds (a popular 4-5 star application from Android Market). I had to reboot my phone (locked up), when I did, nothing was responding, got messages like acore, gapps, and other apps stopped unexpectedly. I removed Backgrounds, restarted again, and everything worked. My wife uses Backgrounds, but her phone doesn't stop working when she has to restart. Why is this happening on my phone? Is there another app causing interference?

I have a rooted behold 2 [stock] and when I push libwebcore.so into system/lib , the phone hangs after I reboot. I have tried it with a couple of different libwebcore.so files [one from android 1.5 and 2.1] with the same outcome. It sounds like the system is checking for corrupt files or so when it boots and doesn't go any further if its numbers don't match up. Any ideas ?
The reason I'm trying to do this is that i want to be able to read arabic properly on webpages. I have already installed the arabic font [thanks to BH_Man] and all the characters are displayed. However, the browser renders the order of the letters backward [from left to right instead of the opposite].

I have the Motorola Droid 2 and Motorola S305 headset. I have paired them together, no problem; however, my phone keeps rebooting when I turn my headset off then back on, and sometimes they don't work when I am making a call. I really like these headphones (plus I'm really cheap ) and don't want to have to get another set.

I've looked around and have noticed a number of complaints, but I haven't found any solutions, so I beg of your advanced knowledge and expertise... would anyone be able to help me?
I own a motorola milestone, and I love it to pieces. However, I am finding that the leather case I have has a magnetic clasp which triggers the phone to enter into multimedia mode. This is very annoying, as I never plan to use this mode so I was wondering one of two things.
1. am I able to reassign the magnetic trigger from "open multimedia dock app" to "enter standby". Considering I just rooted the phone, i would imagine that I have the priveledges to do so, but I'm unaware of what level that control would be on and if I could manipulate it without bricking the phone.
2. am I able to completely remove this app? so that the magnetic trigger just does nothing?

I have noticed that the magnetic flap of my droid pouch has activated the phone every time I insert or pull the phone in/out of the pouch. Even though, the screen will shut off as it supposes to be, but I just wonder will the magnetic will affect, or damage the phone, such as the GPS feature.

I have noticed a rash of EMF "detectors" currently available for the iPhone 3GS only.
Does the Milestone/Droid series phones have the capability to detect EMF and if so does anyone know of a current app or one in development that will do this? I've searched the app store without finding a clear result.

I understand that one should not use a case with magnetic closure because it adversely affects the Moto Droid -I believe the concern is the GPS radio. When I first got the Droid I used an old Covertec Palm case, which has magnetic closure, to tide me over until I bought a new case. Did I fry the GPS radio? Google Maps cannot find my location and my SMobile security system cannot find me either. WeatherBug is on and off in knowing my location. Thoughts about magnets and Droid?

I have both the Spica and the S side by side. When I tested their compasses, they're pointing in different directions.
I pressed *#0*#. There's nothing unusual on the Spica. The S' Magnetic Sensor Test Self Test says "PASS". However, under sensor, under MAGNETIC Sensor, it says "Need for calibration #". The # fluctuates from 0 to 3 (0, 1, 2, and 3). What does this mean? It says "Need for calibration" but I don't see any options to calibrate the magnetic sensor.
I've already tried the #8 motion in different axes & it didn't fix anything. Is this normal? Is the S supposed to say "Need for calibration" under the MAGNETIC Sensor section?

I'm working on an application that will randomly point an arrow in a direction, and have that arrow maintain it's direction if the device is moved. All I want to do it get the magnetic field readings as degrees and I can do it from there. The problem I'm having is getting the magnetic field readings. I can't find any tutorials on it and the API demo on google's dev site uses deprecated code (figures, google's sample code is never n00b friendly).
At this point I've got this together but I don't know what I'm missing, all the examples I can find are using SensorListener which has onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) but SensorEventListener does not support "float[] values"

I may be purchasing a Droid soon. One thing that worries me a little is the GPS/Dock function that "activates" when you dock it in the media or car dock. From what I understand this triggers due to magnets that the Droid senses.
I use a leather money clip that holds like 10 cards then has a clip with a magnet in it to hold bills. (See picture).
My concern is that if I keep the Dtoid in my right pocket with my wallet it's going to activate and start draining the battery like crazy. As the phone would be too big to fit in the small "change" pocket on jeans that I used to use for my LG Voyager and previous phones it has me a little worried how I'm going to tote it around. I may buy one of those glasses cleaning clothes and wrap it in that, but the magnetic portion could still be an issue.

So it's no secret that the super-special-awesome multimedia and car docks use magnetics to get you into that mode. But I got curious just now, so here is what happens when you put 1/4" cube neodymium magnets on certain spots on the device. If you already figured that this is how it works, good for you.
These pictures are terrible, yes. You can click on them to see them in their full-sized horror. I didn't make a point of being artistic here, I just want to show you what happens. And yes, that is a box of Sensodyne. It was on my bathroom vanity, which is the best-lit area of my house at nighttime.
This is where you want to put the magnet to activate the sensor.
But the polarity is the key to choosing which "dock" gets activated. I don't have a polarity indicator to tell me which pole is which, but suffice it to say that one pole activates multimedia, and the other activates car.
I tried this with 5mm diameter, 1mm thick neodymium disks, but they didn't work. That's the only other size I have besides 1" cubes which I'd be afraid to put by my phone though.
You may want to look into something like 5mm by 2mm or 10mm by 2mm or something. 1/4" cubes aren't very compact if you're looking to be thrifty and make your own dock. You could just slip a thin disk into your design and it'd be totally discreet. Hey, making your own dock or buying an el cheapo one and slipping in a 10 cent magnet sure beats buying a $30 one, doesn't it?
This also shows us that there may not be any more special docks to come, and if there will be, they won't be based on this technology. After all, both poles of the magnetic sensor have already been used.

I have a HTC Desire and it fits nicely inside a flip case, held closed with a magnet. I am no scientist but a good friend of mine, who is a scientist, seems to think that a magnet could damage the phone!
I have heard that they can mess with the internal compas (i didnt even know i had one until yesterday) but what about the motor in the lens, will this be damaged being an electro magnetic motor?
I am most worried about the screen being effected by a magnetic field always being near (even on) it.
Has anyone had any experience of a HTC Desire being messed up with a magnet or can anyone reassure me that the 3 ebay phone case is phone friendly?

The magnetic sensor in my stock rom (JB) is deviated from the direction. and it is due to faulty sensor files in the stock rom. The sensor works perfect in old ICS version.
Calibration apps wont work because the problem lies in the sensor files itself

I had a Seidio spring holster for my Palm Pre and loved it. I'm going to look for a case plus a holster for my Incredible. I would like something that isn't slippery and preferably one piece, so when I drop it things don't go flying. I use my phone as my music player at the gym, so access to the headphone port is very important to me.
