Motorola Defy :: Keeps On Rebooting And Locking Up - No Service
Nov 6, 2011
Phone keeps on rebooting itself and locking up saying I have no service. Just now tried to charge phone and it didn't reconize the phone charger, had to pull battery and re install. I've had to pull my battery several times today.
Over the last week my Defy started rebooting itself every night during charging (so that I had to input the sim card PIN every morning) and also had periods of very bad general slowdowns. I mentioned this to a friend who advised that I should power off my phone and then remove the sim card and SD memory card and clean them with a dry cloth.This has fixed my Defy which is now working perfectly again.
i recently upgraded my x10i to android 2.1, everytime i press the power button to lock the screen it disconnect me from my network, no service message appears, so everytime i press the power button again to unlock the screen i have to enter my pincode and reconnect again, hence, i dont recieve any messages and calls whenever i lock the screen or when screen times out?
My phone has multiple resets ad the direction of Motorola, and has been in for a circuit board replacement.Now the screen still freezes and the reception is hopeless.I am sure this handset is a lemon.It is still under warranty, 11 months old.
setting up auto-fetching applies to all email accounts. I swear on my 2.1 Spice XT300, the auto-retrieval was by email address (and also the smallest interval between fetches was 5 minutes, not 15 like on the Defy). I have never used 2.1 on the Defy; mine was original 2.2.1.
I updated to Froyo via Motorola website but it hasn't worked. My phone still shows firmware 2.1.1. Tried to update again via Motorola website but it now tells me that there are no updates for my phone.....I presume that it somehow detects that my phone previously downloaded froyo update.
My Defy is denied application on the market with no reason that I understand.Some apps are not visible from the phone, and are said "non compatible" from the market website. Sometime the website talks of country restriction while they should not be.
I have had my defy now for a few months, and I have been pretty happy with it (babyproof smartphone!)Unfortunately, its becoming more and more unreliable, and am having to reboot it regularly.This weekend is the worst. Here are some of the things it is doing:
all apps keep freezing and crashing (no fancy apps, mostly use it for twitter, facebook etc).phone keeps freezing and being unresponsible on the home screen keep getting an 'emergency calls only' notification, which then clears straight away when i go into notifications.mms photos - both sent and received take up to 5 days to be visible. until then they are just flagged as 'downloading'. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't take 5 days to download a 27kb file.After rebooting, I did have a gmail widget require a forced close immediately. I was never using that widget anyway, and couldn't see it, so I uninstalled it. Now on rebooting I have to force close Google Services Framework. I have decided that looks reasonably important and useful and have declined to uninstall that so far.
I have a my Defy & XT and as of 9:22 am the weather widget hasn't udated and I've turned the phone off and on etc and then I deleted my location and tried to readd it and it said something like.. location information cannot be found (not sure off hand).. I don't know what to do but it won't let me add any loactions but apps from the market work.
I turn on my tablet and the screen freezes saying something about starting troubleshooting or something error. I can not shut off or do anything. it gets real hot and i have to wait till the battery goes dead in order for it to shut off. I bought from Staples and i was 1 day past the 14 day return policy and they refused to help. I only had it 2 weeks and this is the 3rd time it happened
Looked thru the archives and couldn't find this topic. My DROID X started locking up last night when I was doing an email. It's locked up several times today, too. I've been trying to see a pattern to it. Email or text messaging, it's when I hit one of the punctuation keys. Either the period, question, or exclamation mark, each time. I've not put any new apps on my phone since Wednesday. Anyone else have this happen? Suggestions on how to stop it or fix it? Only way I could get out of it was to power it off, but this last time, I had to pull the battery as it wouldn't even power off.
The phone I use is my company phone. I bought my wife the Motorola Titantium because she wanted it. I refused to buy that Motorola I1, 1.5OS peice of crap, so I pretty much had to get her this one to make her happy.I wasn't expecting much because I have been a Southernlinc customer for a while and am use to getting the bottom of the barrel when it came to phones.The angry birds app (yep, the wifey downloaded it) . . . it locks up every 2 - 3 minutes. I have to go in to task manager, close out everything, restart, she plays it little bit more . . . then BAM . . . locks up again. Last night she finally said, "Guess it's a no go on the Angry Birds" Have I done something wrong or doing something wrong or is this phone not even capable of running an app as simple as "Angry Birds"??? how to speed this thing up?
I am having issues with the GPS since I installed the new blur update. No matter what dorking pose I use (left my arm raised above and away from my body in the middle of a football field) the GPS doesnt lock on. I sync my device right before a run as stated on here somewhere and still do not get any results. This will be the third time I have tried to lock on in 3 days with no luck.
I've created a folder on one of my home screens named, "Finance."I've placed about ten apps in said folder (e.g., Quote Pro, Tradefiields, Tip Calc, Bank of America, etc. etc.)I'm attempting to keep like apps together (i.e., all stock apps appearing as the first few apps, followed by "bank related apps, followed by types of calculators, etc.)However, everytime I arrange these apps in this manner, then return later, they are all mixed up, no longer honoring my attempt to categorize them.There is no rhyme or reason as to how they then appear, as far as I can discern.They do not then show up as alphabetized, or any other logical way, ah!, unless by size of app or something like that, you think? all that said, does anyone know of a way to "lock" apps in the order they are placed, so as they remain grouped?
This just happened. It's happened before in the past. When I open the maps application, it will completely lock up the phone and I have to do a battery pull.
Anyhow, out of the box, whenever he opened something that could have a landscape orientation - web browser, menus, etc - the screen would automatically turn to that orientation and he would have to turn his phone to use it, ie, no matter how he held it, it would *always* change to landscape.Going into the display settings and turning off "Auto-rotate" screen keeps the screen in portait mode, but then lansdcape doesn't work at all.We did a power off and battery removal and now the phone always stays in portrait mode irresepective of what the display setting is set to.
The odd thing is, the NFS game that comes on it plays perfectly?!Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and managed to fix it without having to return the phone? (it came from Amazon, so it's not as simple as walking into a store and swapping it)
For 2 of the past 3 nights, I have awakened to a locked up phone. After charging through the night as I sleep, in the morning the phone is completely locked up, with a steady "green" led (as though it's still charging) even after unplugging it. I've waited for awhile and it never recovers... eventually I must do a battery pull to get it working again. charging) even after unplugging it. I've waited for awhile and it never
Got the bionic gps locked instantly and withing 6-10 meters. This morning i tried navigation to find dentist new location. The gps never locked so it was useless to me. I did not change anything either. I left gps on entire time i was in dentist office when i came out still no lock. Just now after about 20 minutes screen on it locked but one problem its off more than 3/4 of a mile.
I thought I had read somewhere before that the locking security feature still allows someone to answer an incoming call, if it's set to lock. I tried it yesterday, and it's true. I don't know about anybody else, but I thought that if I locked my phone....I locked all aspects of it.
i also got a threatening private message from him stating i'm not to talk bad about the razr, but it's ok for others to diss the bionic all day long rather rude and uncalled for, considering i'm a moto customer.the post in question that he deleted was indeed in the razr forum too.thought this was a discussion forum for opinions?
i tried to update my curve but now it keeps rebooting and then saying linking java and the rebooting again. i tried to connect it to blackberry desktop software but i cant because it keeps rebooting.
My email was compromised and now I am drafting everything from that google mail account and moving to another. How can I change my motoblur login google email to another one?
My 3 day xoom 2 10.1 keeps on rebooting itself.This is really really frustrating.I tried below all things from some motorola xoom forum but it reboots randomly.
On my new phone...defy + the user cpu is always higher than 90% after i checked the process then i saw that Com.motorola.process.system. Is more than 90%?
I've just about given up trying to update my Defy which I've owned as a sim free unit since Jan 2011. I am running it with a UK o2 pay as you go. Is the 2.2 update coming out?
My Droid X2 keeps rebooting and crashing over and over. When I get past the lock screen it says. com.motorola.service.main has stopped responding or something similar to that, then it cycles through every other app saying they all crashed and the phone then reboots. I did not install anything prior to this and it was completely random...I am currently unable to use my phone right now since it will not stop rebooting. I have pulled out the battery and SD card to no avail.
