Droid X2 Owners with Freezes/lockups READ THIS!! and VZ/MOTO employees!!!

I am COMPLETLEY convienced the Freeze/lockup has something to do with the SD card or SD card slot. i retored my phone to 100% stock yesterday, NO bloatware removed etc...ran so nice all day, this morning i decided to put the SD card that came with it back in the phone, formatted it, and BOOM within 15 min, SCreen lock up
MOTO and VZ, you need to look into this. i think that is the issue on the freezes. im going to maybe call and see if i can get a replacement....
**also has happend with a seperate 32 Gig SD card*** SD card slots bad???

Interesting.....if you are running GB, then that's probably your problem. I have had an original DX since Nov 2010 and up until August when they released GB, I had absolutely no problems with the phone. Once GB got installed to the DX, the SD card started having serious issues. The card the phone came with just up and completely corrupted right after GB got installed on the phone, and then the replacement card that I was forced to go buy (VZW refused to replace it but that's an entirely different story) has had problems 3 seperate times since I installed it into the phone since the end of August....seems like every 3-4 weeks the SD card suddenly has file system errors and I cannot read anything on it (computer won't even recognize it), so I end up losing pictures, ringtones and other things to the point that I have regularly back everything up to my computer just to make sure I can keep these pictures and ringtones.  They're not all that important pictures, but still....if I was able to go 9 months on Froyo with NO problems with the SD card (or phone for that matter), then how come 2 months since VZW pushed the GB update to the phones are there regular occurences......something is fishy in Denmark with all these sudden problems
I would hope that VZW and Moto would realize the problems increased ten-fold since GB was pushed and actively attempt to fix them once and for all, but I truly believe they view it as the phone being EOL (no NEW phones are sold anymore) that the issues are no longer of a big concern to them. Seems like the only answer is that as we are able to do so, just upgrade to a different phone. I know for a fact that I will NEVER get another Motorola phone.....the DX is a great phone, but Moto, and to an extent VZW, have truly caused the phone to go down the proverbial toilet, which is a shame

  • HELP! Someone please read this and send any knowledge or opinions my way

    Im having a major problem syncing my 160 Gb Classic to my Mac OS X.... I synced my ipod to my computer and it wiped it clean...nothing left..... then i went to try and resync all 23,000 songs and my itunes would freeze when the ipod eventually turned up in itunes (often it would show up on the desk top but not in itunes)
    I called apple support and spoke with an agent named Michael and told him of my 160 classic ipod woes we went over many things together on the phone numerous times such as reseting ipod restarting my computer and trying many other things including updating itunes eventually I got it to sync but it did not sync all my music I was missing around 500 songs. Then When I played my Ipod the songs began pausing before playing skipping to the next song then skipping randomly. at one point I turned it off and it turned back on with a mind of its own & began to play a song... I tried to resync it and GOT THIS MESSAGE
    *"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPOD"*
    I disconnected and tried to reconnect the ipod nothing Then restored it back to its factory settings... *And got this message*
    *"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unkown error occurred (1430)"*
    I tried somemore and got this message
    *"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unkown error occurred (1416)"*
    Then Michael from tech support said it must be a problem with my 3 month old Ipods harddrive... he sent me a box to send it away in for repair.
    Then a few days later a friend who syncs his Ipod up to my computer came by and synced his I mentioned the problem and that Michael told me its with my ipod... The the same thing happened to my friends iPod.... He synced it to another friends computer and it seemed fine then he called me and said his music is skipping and pausing.. even though his was wiped by my computer and re synced on another
    *Could this be a problem with my Mac computer? my Itunes? or is it just coincidence that two Ipods got messed up from trying to sync to my Mac? I don't know If I should send mine in for repair cause I have a feeling its a problem with something else...*

    I am having the exact same problem. I just got a brand new HP Pavilion laptop recently and at first my 160gb classic worked fine with it, then at one point when I connected it to my laptop iTunes just froze. I couldn't see any of my files in my iPod but it showed that the space was being used. Then before I knew it I lost all my 32gb of music. I managed to get it to sync to computer and put some music back on but now I am back to the issue where iTunes just freezes and my music got wiped again. I cannot figure it out.

    This results in a totally unusable service with web pages at a crawl at best.
    Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. I'm just about at the end of my tether, coming home every night to deal with this is no fun, not to mention all the days I've spent waiting in for engineers. Forum mods are aware, and although everyone has been without exception extremely polite and tried to help, the end result is a fail.
    This is an Option 3 full price package. Surely I have good grounds to ask for an amicable exit from my contract, as BT cannot provide a stable service?

    Replying here just to update and let others know what to expect. This issue now been with the mods for weeks and I have escalated to the high level complaints team who are looking into and have asked me to send copies of router screen dumps etc showing the low SNR as "evidence"
    Well I have posted all this info before here and in previous threads, but I have lots of this evidence so happy to supply if it eventually gets me somewhere. Have to say though, I am not confident.
    This is what is happening as soon as sunset kicks in, think it is pretty obvious where the SNR will end up once dark. i know from experience this will be a downward slide until 2dB or lower and the subsequent loss of margin issues with my service. I am currently syncing at 6-7 meg with an IP profile of 5 meg, and have attenuation of 39, living 1.5km from the exchange.
    Absolutely fed up with this and now it seems that it will take some more weeks for this to be investigated.
     And behold....

  • Connect RS232 with labview to read current and voltage values.

    Hi, I am trying to connect my microcontroller kit which will measure the current and voltage. I was provided with rs232 port to connect with labview to read the voltage and current data that is measured by my controller. How to make it display both current and voltage value by acquirng the data from rs232. I tried some programming but it doesn't work or it was wrong. How to make it work ?

    As we said in the other thread, you need to talk to whoever is designing the microcontroller and decide on a specific format for it send you the data.  Once we have that, then we can start talking about how to program this up.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • For all iPad owners with video freezing concerns- read this first!

    First of all, take a deep breath, acknowledge that it is not your fault, and there is nothing you can do with the software to fix it. It is a hardware problem, most likely video chip related, that is ONLY solved with replacement. I have had several discussions with senior tech support who won't say exactly what the cause is, but admit that there is nothing a user can do to fix the problem other than replacement. Which they will happily provide. This is where it gets tricky.
    If you are like me, you can't live a day without your iPad, even though you also have a smart phone, a net book and a laptop....if I can admit it, so can you. So if your local store has a brown box replacement for your model, go in and get it replaced, and you are done. Most of the time, this will fix the issue because they test these ones first. If you are like me and your store does not have a replacement for your wifi only model, then you have to either drop yours off and wait for a replacement to be shipped in 4-5 business days, or purchase apple care where they will hot swap a new iPad with you with overnight to your doorstep. This is the way to go and here is why: you can't be without your iPad and you won't be. AppleCare is $100 that is fully refundable at a pro rated time period. So you have it for 1 week and then cancel it. Cost of use? Should be about $2. And the experience is seamless. This is just my opinion, but it worked for me!

    taffytafftaf,
    Agreed; The problem might very well be a hardware one. After all, these symptoms are very weird. It's undoubtedly a great phone. The main reason I bought it was to have the first decent looking WCDMA phone out there (that works in Europe) and I still quite like it.
    To tell you the truth though, I was going to replace it with a 8GB N91, until I tried one yesterday. It's way too bulky, actually the dimensions seem weird - nothing like my old 8850. The HDD explains everything, but I really don't need another DAP or a pocket drive, so it won't quite do.
    I'll take your advice and take the 6630 to my nearest NSC. Hopefully they'll be able to revive it. If not, I'll replace it with something very small.
    "Good luck"
    Thanks, I'll need it!
    mbamg,
    I think it's a case of "what goes around, comes around". You've obviously taken good care of your phone, whereas I haven't. I definitely should've taken it to a NSC to be updated. These problems, as mentioned above, might also have something to do with the hardware, as the phone has taken some unintended abuse during the years. We'll just have to wait and see.
    The original RS-MMC card was in the phone when it was updated. After that the phone claimed it was faulty. Other cards don't seem to work either. Unfortunately formatting them didn't help.
    I still partially blame the NSU, since these problems didn't surface until the software was supposedly "successfully updated". My 6630 is a bad combo of possibly damaged hardware and new firmware.
    Thanks once again for your input guys, I really appreciate it!

  • Lockups, crashes, video freezes, BSOD, Read This!

    ...or other mysterious ailments.
    Before you tweak anything, go here and determine your power consumption (recommended power.) Remember to add a bit if you overclock and/or run onboard graphics, and/or USB mouse/keyboard. Don't forget your sound card (if any), hard drives, CD/DVD drives, system fans, and something other than stock cooling. If you can't find your device, then find the specs and plug in something close. Also, if you OC, list your processor as the one that runs your OC speed (e..g a 2500 clocked to a 3000). Also, don't forget it's better to be a little over than a litle under.
    http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
    After determining your power consumption, look at the real specs of your supply (available from the label, manual, and/or manufacturer's website) and NOT total Rated Watts. Use the peak max wattage of the +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails together.
    If your total combined configurations come close (say within 10%), meet, or exceed the three rails spec, consider getting a new power supply before you troubleshoot any further.
    E.g., if you run an Antec Soultion Series SL400 supply, then, according to specs, your max current draw on the combined +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails is 380W, not 400W. If your recommended power supply figure (from the above link) is, say 360W to 375W then you might want to think about getting a bigger power supply. If your recommended power supply is 380W or more, get a new supply, no question.
    This is not a panacea (cure-all), but a very good place to start.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and downgraded to the lower version. now the video works without any problem, but there seems to be another problem. when I want to eject the ipod from itunes, I get a message, that the iPod cannot be ejected because data on the iPod is currently used by an external program...
    any idea...?

  • New Droid X Owner with questions

    I was able to upgrade early, so I dumped the Storm and got the Droid X on Saturday.  Honestly, I wasn't very happy at first, and I'm still not 100% satisfied, but it's getting much better.  Although the Storm was frustrating, there were a few things I really liked, and missed not having on the X.  One thing was the ability to simply tap the screen to "wake up" the phone.  With the X, it's a bit troublesome to press a hard key, then have to slide to open.  Is there some way to "wake up" the X with just a tap, or at least get rid of the "slide to open" thing?    I heard Launcher Pro might do that, but I cannot open that app (nor the other one that was recommended).
    Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens.  Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
    On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close".  Otherwise, they would keep running in the background.  On the X, I've been using the "Back" key.  Does this 'close" the application or browser?
    Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary?  On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full. 
    What are some good productivity apps?
    What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
    I have corporate email and calendar on the X, but I can't get my corporate calendar to sync with my personal calendar.  I have to check two calendars.  Is there any way to have business appts and personal appts show on one calendar?
    Some other issues I'm having:
    1.  I've had the phone for three days, and it has suddenly powered off and automatically came back on four times.  I'm thinking it was maybe because I was doing too much with it on the first day or two.  It hasn't done it today. 
    2.  Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had.  Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
    Some great things:
    1.  Love the screen size.  It's like having a mini "iPad"
    2.  SWYPE!!!  I thought I would use the Voice to Text more often, but Swype is fantastic.  My boss and co-workers were amazed.  (My boss immediately looked for an app to do this on his iPhone.  He couldn't find one.)
    3.  Caller ID as 'ringtone'.  I didn't know it was set for this, so imagine my surprise when I heard this computerized, feminine voice saying "Phone call from RB". 
    4.  The speed!  Downloading and installing apps on the Storm would take several minutes (if at all).  Now, it takes only seconds!  Webpages load fast and clear!
    5.  A camera that actually works when I press the button!
    Sorry for all the questions y'all, but I haven't been able to find any answers in my online searches.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can use NoLock, it does well to disable lockscreen on device wakeup but usually wont bypass lock screen  at startup.  The wake up by screen touch is a bad ideal anyway, if in pocket what would stop accidental program run and accidental calls.
    LauncherPro does not bypass the lock screen in any way but it is a nice screen replacement.
    If LauncherPro does not run I suggest a restart of device, it should auto run after restart.
    Secondly, I tried to use a pic as the wallpaper on the home screen, but it stretched over all seven home screens.  Is there some way to use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?
    LauncherPro gives you the option to disable scrolling wallpaper, but also you will have to modify the image to the screen size to make sure image is center the way you want it.
    On the Storm, I needed to "Force Close" each app, webpage, or anything else, by going to the menu and scrolling to "Close".  Otherwise, they would keep running in the background.  On the X, I've been using the "Back" key.  Does this 'close" the application or browser?
    Download Advance Task Manager...   Make sure to exclude OS files from auto close and set to close on sleep state.
    Is there some way to save apps on to the SD card?   Or is this necessary?  On the Storm, I added only about five apps and the device memory was pretty much full. 
    If the application supports saving to SD there will be a option under Setting > Application > Manage Applications ? App Name..
    What are some good productivity apps?
    I don't think this can be a easy question this question because there is so many helpful apps but each on ia a user preference.
    What are some ideas about what to put on the other six home screens?    I'm a little overwhelmed with the possibilities!
    I'm not using 6 pages but here some examples of my test unit ....

    Sounds like you have a incompatible app maybe and is getting a force closed situation that is making device restart...  Check all your apps by uninstalling them one by one and see if issue resolves itself, you may want to watch the habit of installing to many apps... The more apps you have, means the better chance on incompatiblites.
    2.  Battery life is the worst on any phone I have ever had.  Again, maybe because I've been using it and trying out all the features so much lately.
    Battery life on a smart-phone will always be different than a BB because the device is a more powerful device,  its like comparing a pda to a desktop...  Task Killer and setting email to not to have all accounts to instant push because that requires the device to waste a large amount of power retrieving email and staying connected to web.

  • If you are having issues connecting to wifi with your Ipad, READ THIS

    My son recently could not connect to the home wifi. After almost a year of having no issues, it came on overnight sort-of-speaking.   I spent over three hours doing all the resets and tried anything that was talked about online.  This could be your issue too. WHEN YOU SET UP YOUR ROUTER, IT WILL HAVE A PASSCODE/PASSWORD/PASSPHRASE (different routers may call it differently), this is usually a series of letters and numbers.  YOU WILL ALSO SET UP A PASSWORD TO ACCESS YOUR HOME NETWORK FROM ANY OF YOUR DEVICES.  THE TWO ARE VERY DIFFERENT, THE PASSWORD THAT THE IPAD WANTS IS NOT THE NETWORK PASSWORD, IT IS THE PASSWORD OF THE ROUTER. 
    This makes no sense to me, but it worded.  I have a CISCO router and Mercury Net for an Internet provider.  As I was working on getting my issue solved, I ran across a post that said this same thing about a different router and provider, so I thought why not try it, nothing to lose.  IF IT WORKED FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUTERS AND PROVIDERS, THIS COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM AS WELL.
    To start with, I did not know the passphrase to my roouter.  I reset the router to factory default and followed a few steps for security and other things.  Along the reset, there was a page that showed the passphrase.  If you do not have your router passphrase, this may be your best bet.  I am by no means a professional when it comes to computers, but I am not affraid to try a few things when needed.  This was not too hard and it will not be for you either.
    Good Luck
    If you need more information, let me know, I will try to help.
    Thanks for reading

    I'm glad you had luck with this.  I have the same issue, and i've replaced the droid turbo 4 times.  I've tried it on 4 or 5 different wifi networks and it doesn't give me any type of speed at all.

    My iphone 4 is about a month old ad it continues to send multiple repeat texts message to the point where I have stop sending texts because everyone is annoyed with me, is there a solution that anyone knows of? I am hearing from sprint that it is apple's issue and from apple it is a sprint issue. They said I can take it to the store but its one month old and I find it hard to beleive that they do not have an easier solutions, i dont have time to or the patience to give up my phone for three days. This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
    thank you

    It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

  • HARD DISK PROBS / TIME MACHINE not behaving with TC ? READ THIS!!!!

    I had many probs with the hard disk and now have a happy healthy TC working great with time machine, so I though I'd share my experiences with others hoping it will save you my huge pain !
    i,
    I've spent hours and hours trying to get the harddisk to work properly. Set-up was easy-peasy and the Airport works great for the internet. However, when trying to use time-machine and the hard disk it was a nightmare !!! Each attempt at the back-up failed after about 4 gig with a 'unable to mount volume' error. If I re-tried, it failed. Following some of the tips on the forums, I deleted the back-up file created by time machine on the hard drive and the initial back-up started successfully but failed after about 4 gig again (I had 96 gig to back-up). There are various fixes flying around -
    *_ensure you have a name for your computer - should be short and no spaces or funny characters. Same goes for your name of the timecapsule. Some people are saying you should use an ethernet cable for your first back-up but that should not matter at all.*_ I took mine back to the apple store in the end - a mac genius downloaded all the latest patches (only came out 19th march) for the time-capsule firmware, time machine software and airport express. Still didn't work, so conclusion was the time-capsule was knackered !!! SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO GET APPLE TO REPLACE IT BUT MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE ABOVE FIRST.
    New time-capsule was attached to my imac, started up great first time. My initial back-up ran through perfectly first time through wireless - it took 15 hours but I did have 96 gig to back-up. time machine sees this no problem so it looks like everything is fine. _*I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TC WAS MUCH MORE QUIET AND LESS HOT.*_
    Good luck !!

    Hi,
    Well, The external drive you have problem with is from a third party vendor :-)
    I just looked up your model and we need to start over.

    How do you connect it to your computer?
    Is it plugged in to the router via ethernet and you access it over WiFi.
    The drive needs to be setup as per supplied instructions.
    The manufacturer says it is Time Machine compatible but from my experience I know this is not switched on by default.
    The main reason why you cannot access it is you basically have to set it up for your use and most likely authenticate to it.
    At this stage I'm quite sure there is no much wrong with that drive. It just need setting up.
    Let me know if you have any instructions from Seagate which you can follow.

  • Solve Problem with USB Connection / Read this it i...

    i can not load maps on my n97 mini. the error 'usb connection lost...' show on the screen in map loader but at the first day i had no problems.
    i wonder why. i look for driver, ovi suite, pc suite, usb at the pc, read in the forum and many more. but nothing solve the problem. after 2 days i use accidentally the original cable which comes with the nokia n97 mini (it is a ca-101) and all my problems are gone ! bevor i use an 'old' ca-101 cabel from my n82 and i can not upload a map but the handy is shown in the pc system with all drivers and no problems. only loading big megabytes data on the handy crashes the usb connection. with the n97 mini ca-101 cabel no problem with gigabytes. i look for another ca-101 cable from the 6220 from my wife and i have the same problems (i never used bevor this cable for a connection to any handy ! it was brand new !). it seems that 'old' ca-101 cabels do not handle big data with the n97 mini. i look on the gold spring clips in the micro usb and could see that the are a little smaller and not so high in the jack in the 'old' cables. all three cables are original from nokia and not from china ! if you are also problems look on the produkt id on the plastics. if the letters are gold you have a cable like my n97 mini cable, but if the letters are black on a silver button you have an 'old' cable.
    i hope i can help another with this maniac problem
    greetings

    I can verify this on win7 with latest PC suite.
    I was using the cable that came with my 6500s as I didn't want to tackle the rats nest of wiring behind my pc.
    This cable is a ca101 with silver writing on the plastic tab, made in China.
    Using this cable, my 6620c would not complete a backup, it would just sit for hours on 2-4%.
    Tested with the ca101 cable that came with the 6620c (gold writing, made in Thailand).
    This time the backup completed in about 2 minutes.
    Thank you so much for finding this, it has been driving me crazy!
