A few remaining issues... Need Help - Touch CDMA Android Development

After running Android for a couple of weeks on NAND, I've noticed a common problem among Myn's and Plemen's Android builds using the latest dzo's nbh files. I don't know if it is related to what I'm doing but the auto sync functionality of google (including gmail, calendar, and contacts) is very flaky and I get an odd reboot problem.
Since I usually use the phone as my primary wake up alarm in the morning, I never turn it off. Instead, before i go to bed, I put the phone into airplane mode and plug it in to charge. What I've noticed in the two weeks is that more often than not, the phone reboots itself sometime during the night. I noticed this because several times, the single plus double vibrate on startup wakes me up. Other times, I wake up and the screen is on (I've set it to never sleep when plugged in). It's not all that major as long as the alarm rings at the proper time.
Then, as I get ready to go to work, I turn airplane mode off. When I get to work I see that the phone says I have no email. I thought that was odd because I usually have a bunch by 9am. So I logged into gmail on the computer to find that I have 10 unread emails that all arrived while on my way to work (between 8:30am and 9am). So I went into the data sync options to check when it was last synced and it says 8:05am (the time I turned airplane mode off). So the next thing I did was send a test email to my gmail account. No notification after 2 minutes. So I decided to reboot the phone. After it got to the main screen I could see the sync icon on the notification bar and about 30 seconds later, all 10 emails plus my test email got to the phone.
I'm not sure what is causing this problem, but I have a feeling it has to do with airplane mode.
I'll do some more testing to see if I can come up with a consistent way of reproducing this problem.

Update...
I've just done a quick test and need some confirmation from others that this problem exists:
1. Turn airplane mode on.
2. Reset the phone by pressing stylus into reset hole.
3. Wait for it to boot up.
4. Turn airplane mode off.
At this point, I went to check the last sync time in the data sync settings. It should say a time close to when you booted up.
5. Now send a test email from your computer to your gmail account.
Your phone should never notify you of the new email.
6. Now reboot phone again using the stylus method and wait for phone to boot. Your emails should arrive on the phone automatically.
7. Now send another test email from your computer to your gmail account. You should be notified within a minute.

Program to mute just email notification during night?

I receive emails every 30 minutes on my Fuze. I would like to keep my phone volume on loud during the night (just incase I receive a call), but somehow mute or stop just the emails from coming in. Is there any program that can do this? thanks in advance
start/settings/sound&notifacations , scroll down to email , and uncheck what you would like to uncheck .
or download g-profile from ageye , look it up on google . it works quite well
Another solution: I use Phone Weaver (SBSH) - SPB makes equivalent Phone Suite, but I like Weaver better...
My setup = My phone not only goes to vibrate mode whenever certain categorized appts happen in my calendar (meetings/Clients/gigs), but every night at midnight it turns to silent or vibrate, the push mail shuts off, bluetooth shuts off if its on. At 5 am, wifi turns on and SPB backup kicks in if AC plugged in and wirelessly backs up my whole phone to my desktop every day, then turns wifi off. Then in the morning, resume pushmail and volume full.
I rarely ever have to touch my volume settings unless im going to a movie or dinner or something. I never have to think about backing up/losing my backups on a lost/stolen storage card/phone.
I just checked G-Profile too cause I've never looked at it. It seems like it does mostly the same things as P Weaver. try all the trial versions, see what you like.
If you are using active sync, you can set the peak vs off-peak time so that off-peak is when you don't want to recieve email. Then set off-peak to sync Manualy.
use mortscript to set it up.

you can also simply turn off the push feature using comm manager. What I did was modify te options in comm manager using the app called Advanced Config. I removed the 3G control from comm manager and added the control for Push Email. At night, I simply turn off the push email and that way the phone still stays on to receive calls but email is no longer pushed.

[Q] Wifi/3G not connected whilst phone is in 'sleep'

Okay. I noticed today that when pressed the power button to wake my phone from sleep the wifi or 3g (depending on where i was and what I was connected to, ie home or away) icon was not showing and thus indicating that it wasn't connected. Hmm, I thought it was odd, maybe it was a display error. But I then noticed that my emails and gmails all came through a few seconds after I unlocked the phone (and the connection icon appeared) and that they had all been sent whilst the phone was asleep. So, it seems to me that the phone is disconnecting from any data source when it goes into sleep mode. Now, I am right in thinking that the whole point of push notifications or setting your email to sync every 5 minutes is that the phone will remain connected even whilst asleep, and then wake up (briefly even) when it picks up an email?
I had no power saver on, no smart sync, wifi set to never sleep. Is this normal? It's pretty important that I get my emails as and when they sent to me. Any advice would be great. I am wondering if it's a bug, and whether I need to take to the phone back to exchange for another one?

you're sure power saver in the top menu wasn't on? because that's what it does, turns off wifi and data when the screen is off for an expended period.
maybe cycle it on and off a couple of times and see if the problem persists...

No, isn't normal.
So, can you upgrade to the latest firmware and, maybe, do a full wipe?
Did you install some app for battery?
And check that your power saver isn't on...
Check under power, setting that sleep mode is off. That on by default on mine. It turns data off after extended screen of time and doesn't require the power save to be activated.

Hmm, no additional battery apps, power saving toggled and definitely off (I purposefully turned it off because of it's data management policy), and sleep mode set to off.
So, I'm right in thinking that you/others actually get notifications then? and wifi/3g is working fine? Looks like it's a return and hope that the next one works (I only got the phone 7days ago). My software update says no updates available, though this is likely to be EE fault. If I can get the shop to exchange I might just do that. Ho hum, another 3 hours setting the thing up again then...
It seems to be a Wifi switching itself off problem...

So, a quick update in case anyone else is having this problem.
I reset the phone to see if it would make a difference and it kind of has. Now I have noticed that if I am using mobile data it's fine. Things are pushed, notifications come through. But if I use Wifi it's a different matter.
it seems that with Wifi on and connected then it works for around 15 minutes when the phone is sleeping (I have done a few tests). After this it seems to shut wifi down and hence no notifications. So it would seem to me that although Power Saving is set to OFF, and Sleep mode (ie no data in sleep) is set to OFF, the phone is still disconnecting from WIfi regardless of the settings. Which is a bit frustrating as I don't want to be connected to the mobile network all the time, especially at home, but still want to know if I receive emails.
Anyone else experienced this Wifi switching itself off issue (and then switching itself on as soon as you manually wake the phone?)? I have to decide whether to return the phone for a replacement or not. If this is a wide ranging issue it might not be worth it - though I'd have thought a simply thing, like keeping wifi on at all times wouldn't be hard to make sure it worked.
there are a few apps available on the play store such as "keep wifi alive" which might do the trick.

Okay, now I feel a bit of Doughnut! I think I've found out what was causing this. So, even though I had Power Saver OFF, Smartsync OFF, Sleep Mode (disconnect data whilst sleep) OFF, I hadn't had a proper look in the Wifi settings, and under Advanced I found:
Advanced>Keep Wifi on during Sleep. This hadn't been set to Always and was set to 'Only when plugged in'. So, changed to 'Always' and now it seems to work (and that would explain why I got emails through the night when charging).
So, apart from feeling a little red-faced for not exploring every single menu available, I am happy it (seems) sorted. If anyone has wifi dropping whilst phone is sleeping it seems there are four steps:
SmartSync = OFF [in Mail app]
Power Saver = OFF [in status bar and Power Settings]
Sleep Mode = OFF [in Power Settings]
Keep Wifi on during Sleep = Always [in Wifi>Advanced Settings]
Hopefully this'll help anyone else who has been having a bit of prolonged blond moment with the phone settings. {retreats to corner}

I have similar problem. Even when I have everything OFF as you suggest, I get disconnected a second after screen goes off. When I turn phone back on, I can see that wifi is on, but all aps are off and wont connect again. I have to turn wifi off and on and applications like skype go again online. I have this problem at home and also at work on corporate network. I have even tried apps that should keep wifi on, but with no change.
Interesting is that after the phone goes to sleep mode, I can see that speed of wifi is changing on phone. The phone actualy stays connected to wifi, but doesn't send or receive data.
The router at home is TP-Link 1043ND with DD-WRT (flashed to last firmware to see if it fixes this problem). I'm not sure what brand and type are corporate APs, but could be some cisco or similar.
Any advice what else I could try?

Help! Moto X (XT1049) Constantly Freezing and Restarting Itself (RW)

I purchased a used Republic Wireless Moto X (1st Gen) and in the beginning I was happy with the phone, but then I got to school with it...
The first thing I noticed was the issue the phone was having with the college's network. The network requires a one time login every 10 hours to authenticate that you are a student. I would login and the phone would work normally on the school's network until it turned the screen off or I hit the power button once to sleep the phone. Once you did this and then tried to use the phone again it was like there was no network even though it was connected and already authenticated. I am forced to disconnect from the school's network and reconnect every time I want to use WiFi if the screen was turned off...
Well that problem was annoying as hell, but it got even worse as time went on (2 weeks). Now I can barely even use the phone at all on campus or sometimes even at my own house. I will be trying to do something very simple like open txt messaging and it will show my messages and then load the names to match the cell numbers (slowly). However when I click on a message it will stay stuck at a white text body with the person's name at the top and a txt enter box at the bottom that I can't do anything with (keyboard won't pop up).
If I hit back normally it will freeze the phone and it will restart, this is my primary problem. When trying to do basic things like txt messaging the phone freezes and restarts itself. Once it restarts on its own, nothing has fixed. I try to open txt messaging again and I get the EXACT same problem and the phone will restart again. The only semi-solution I have found is once the phone restarts itself, I shut it down through the normal hold power button briefly and click power off. Then when it comes back up, SOMETIMES it will act normal-ish.
The odd thing is a lot of the time once I get home on my network these restarts and freezes are much less frequent vs. on the school's network. This could be a coincidence, but I thought I should bring it up.
-------------------------------------
This is my first smartphone I have ever owned, but I have owned two tablets so I am familiar with Android and also with modding Android (rooting, boot loaders, custom ROMs, etc). If modding is the answer here then by all means tell me what I need to do so I can get a phone that functions properly.
I saw that Motorola is testing 5.1 for this phone now, perhaps that may fix these problems? Right now I am tempted to throw this phone out the window and go back to my flip phone that I can at least txt message on.
Not even a single idea?
Edit, found this:
http://www.androidauthority.com/moto-x-problems-528956/
Some users have faced problems with the device freezing, or randomly rebooting occasionally.
Potential Solution –
If the screen is frozen, tapping on the power button to turn the screen off, and turning the screen on again might unfreeze it. If that doesn’t work, a long press on the power button will reboot the device.
The likely culprit for this issue is a specific application. You can follow the instructions in Problem #4 above to find out if this is the case.

Moto E5 Plus slow to wake and rebooting when trying to wake

I recently purchased a Moto E5 Plus directly from Sprint. After taking the phone out of the box and going through the initial setup (connecting to wifi, adding gmail account, fingerprints, etc), I noticed the phone took a long time to wake up after tapping the lock button (approx 9 seconds). After a factory reset, clearing the partition, not adding a gmail account during setup and running the phone in safe mode, the problem still persists and the phone takes the same time to unlock. It does not seem to matter if I use the fingerprint scanner or the lock button to wake the device, it still takes far too long. I also noticed that if I use the fingerprint scanner multiple times while the phone is waking up, the phone will turn off and reboot. I also tested and confirmed that having an alarm go off that wakes the phone will play the alarm properly at the correct time but instead of the screen turning on and making it possible to turn the alarm off, the phone reboots. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed each of the firmwares found at mirrors (dot) lolinet (dot) com/firmware/moto/hannah/official/Sprint without any change. I have also tried adding wakelocks, no change in performance. I have no SD card in the device and only the SIM card that shipped with the device.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions outside of what I've tried above.
New update: the screen does not turn on at all anymore but I can hear the reboot sound and the phone vibrates like it is on. Returning for a warranty now.

[Help] Internet Timeout

I'm not sure exactly when this started but I'd say within the last month. When the phone is on idle (screen black), the internet is being timed-out.
Example 1: I leave my phone on the desk and I haven't gotten any messages on say WhatsApp / Messenger. When I press the power button to unlock the phone, I can have like 10+ messages coming.
Example 2: I'm again having the phone on the desk but I'm in a WhatsApp call, suddenly the call drops and tries to reconnect, as if someone lost connection. The moment I press my power button the call comes back (so it's obviously on my end). Happens with multiple people as well.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I'd say it happens after about 30min or so of "idle time" but I haven't properly timed it.
Latest Firmware and Android 10, if that's important.
I did some obervation today. It seems the timeout happens exactly after 15 min, on the second. Was in a call and the first was 15:15 into the call and the second was at 30:30.
