[Q] Stuck in standby

Hi All,
i Have a Galaxy S here im using to try and learn android as i support handsets for my job and not had much experience with android.
However..
the galaxy will often get stuck in standby, you can still call it but the screen wont come back and i have to remove the battery. A similar thread for HTC desire is on this forum and it suggested changing to 3g only or 2g only if it was when it was switching however 99% of the time im in a strong 3g area and it very rarely switches so i dont see this as the cause.
Is there any thing else i can check. handset is running latest stock gingerbread 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.35.7.
Are there log files i can check for odd occurances.
I know way back in the past on my old winmo handsets that an app stored on memory card if the notification queue tried to access it from standby it would hang. Not sure if this is similar.
Any help would be great, thanks

Are you OC it? Is it using a custom lockscreen?

adb logcat will show you what is going on in android.

no, just the stock ui the phone comes with, hasnt ever been flashed with anything unofficial just kies to software update.
Only apps installed are Lastpass (not running) and Google+ not running but it did this before i installed these too

thanks, is there a tool in the sdk to get a remote shell to run those commands, or can they be run from the phone itself?

Issues regarding YouTube

Okay so, to put it simply... I own an Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 which was rooted up until this day. At some time yesterday, YouTube randomly stopped having any connections to the internet.
At first, when you go to the application you can see videos, they load fine on the list as well as the names and thumbnails, but as soon as you click on them / search for videos / wait for 5 seconds you will get an error "Attention - There is no network connection right now. Please try again later."
I'm 100% positive that it's nothing with my net. Browser works fine, I don't use facebook so no idea if it works or not. I even stood right next to the router or modem, however you call it, with full signal and couldn't go to YouTube.
Now, I unrooted the phone. The issue is still there.
Restarting, pulling out battery, factory reset - Nothing worked.
I'm starting to go crazy with this.
No, youtube doesn't even work if I go the mobile site and try to run the video with the application.
No, it does not show up in "Manage applications" so I can't clear it.
Trust me I'd definetly want to go to Google Play and download a newer version, but considering Google says that Youtube isn't compatible with my device / or the actual INSTALL button on their page doesn't work on my phone.
Do help, I got nothing to do on the phone if there's no Youtube to watch videos or music.

The same thing happened to me yesterday with my Xperia x8 phone. I get the same message when I try to watch a youtube video. It was fine a couple of days ago!

If there's more people with the issue, I doubt it's a phone problem anymore. Youtube is most likely doing something then.. Either way, bump, in case someone knows how to fix this.

You might be right... Maybe they did some kind of update that caused this. Anyway, if I find a solution, I will post it here.

Try upgrading to froyo or gingerbread.It works fine on gingerbread.

I can't. My phone model is too high so I can't install 2.2 or higher.

I've been having this issue as well. There isn't anything wrong my connection, as I can load all the pages >.< I just wish someone had a solution. All I've found to do is clear the app data and that's done nothing...

You can (2.2-2.3). there are roms for locked bootloaders. You can consider that and see if it helps.
Also, update youtube if possible.

I can't. I don't recall finding one for 11W48.
You can't update Youtube further on Android 2.1 (aka above 2.20.16)

[Q] YouTube - "Connection to Server Lost"

So I know this has been an issue for others in the past, but everything I've tried hasn't seemed to work. Every time I load up a video on Youtube, it seems like it's about to start but then says "Connection to Server Lost. Tap to Try again". This only happens when I'm not on WiFi though. I've tried restarting the phone, uninstalling all updates, clearing app data and cache, and none of that seems to work. I also don't have an AdBlocker so I know that isn't the issue. Everything else works when I'm not on WiFi though.
Any solutions? I would greatly appreciate it.

I apologize for the bump but is no one else experiencing this issue? My friend also had it happen to him after updating to the most recent OTA. So far it hasn't seemed to be fixed.

Had it happen before update but haven't tested since update. Will check it out tomorrow when I'm out. Service where I live is terrible so can't really test now.

Edit.. just tested and YouTube is working fine. But that's after a data and system wipe from flashing new firmware and whatnot

Hmm, alright. I'll probably need to know if others that are on stock and running the latest firmware are running into the same issue. Because it seems likely that the update is the reason.

I'm stock rooted running the latest firmware and my YouTube seems to be working fine on both wifi and 3g. No issues so far and I've watched quite a few videos the last couple of days. I'll let you know if anything changes though.

Okay well I'm getting extremely annoyed here. The problem temporarily resolved itself for a few days but now it's back and now I can't even watch youtube videos on any Internet browser. It just says "sorry. This video cannot be played." it's clear this isn't an app issue, but what the heck is causing this? I should be able to watch a damn youtube video.

At this point, I'm assuming it has to do with the combination of Sprint's towers and the latest update (since that's when it began to happen). If you do factory reset your phone, please tell me if it begins to work for you.

I just did the full reset and still doesnt work. I think your right, it must be the update

I kinda got it working. Videos will only play when i have the network more on cdma which is kinda bogus.

Sadly no. It's so strange though, sometimes I can see the video as if it knows it should be loading the video, but then decides to give me an error one second before it actually starts. It's almost like it's being blocked.
Haven't been able to get mine to work with CDMA only, either.

I have tried everything and never managed to get a video to load, ever, while not on WiFi since I got my M8.

I honestly believe it is Sprint's doing, since I remember the videos being unwatchably bad quality back on my stock EVO 3D, if they would load at all, but after rooting it and removing the sprint proxy that suddenly cleared up, both the glitchy nature and quality. Probably use some kind of broken proxy to reduce bandwidth used by Youtube.

It has been happening with my phone as well. Works occasionally, but it's not just youtube, it's pandora, podcats, and even wshh. The problem has been going on since the update. I did speak with someone at Sprint and it was the usual "turn this off, turn that on, enter this." It worked but than went out again. Phone is brand new and 13 days old. Hope somebody can figure this out before i exchange it.

It's not "any page" the site you're trying to connect refuse your access as you can read it.
Have you tried google.com ?
What is your browser?

Yes google works but any other Page gives me that answer. I use Chrome but have also tried other Browsers and nothing changed

So your internet works correctly and there is no problem, it's the website that you try to connect refuse your access.
Just a question, you don't know what this website is but you try to connect to it?

I know what this website is and it works if i go on it with wifi but it is on every website the same on wich i tried exept of google. A friend sad it would be error 500 but i still don 't know how to fix it

Every website except google? Weird. also this website works only if you're in WIFI? There must be something wrong with your network, have you tried to reboot your phone? have you change something in the network settings? In the screen you posted you have not a decent network did you tried with a better network cover?

i have already cleaned the cache in my browser tried other browsers and have downloaded the Network Settings from my provider via sms
by the way my provider is o2 and they told me to reset my phone. And i've got this issue now since 2 moths or so and for me it isn't a little issue anymore it's a big issue because i want to google often things when i am not at home and often important things and then i must wait until i am home and have wifi

Well, you are correct, if this has continued for 2 months its not a little issue
But I would return the handset in that case.

ok i have just resetted my phone and now ewerything works again

All WiFi profiles getting deleted periodically

My phone configuration
AT&T Note 3
Stock firmware, rooted with TowelRoot, few modifications with wanam.
Haven't changed/modified anything system level on phone other than few visual changes with Wanam Xposed
Problem
All the saved wifi profiles are getting deleted. Happened twice in last month. I do not see any reason why it happened. Today, I came to work, it connected to wifi. An hour later I saw that phone disconnected from wifi and was using mobile data. I went to wifi setting to find that all the saved wifi profiles were deleted. (It only showed one saved profile "attwifi" profile which I think is the default comes with the phone). Now I have to save all wifi profiles again for work, home, friends' homes etc.
Solution
This is where you come in the picture.
Has any one of you seen something similar?
Is it a known issue?
Can this be related to Google "Sync App Data"? Is Google syncing empty wifi profiles for some reason?
Do you guys know solution/workaround for this?
(I will update the solution section when there is a solution available, so all future readers don't have to pile through pages of comments to find the right solution)

Bumping

I've been having this issue. It's a PITA!
I am not rooted.

I assume this issue is very rare and only few of us are seeing it. That's why nobody is replying to this thread. A quick google search found a lot of similar forums but no solution

It's not particularly rare- in fact I have a different but similar situation: my phone will not discover new SSID's, thus cannot connect to them.
You'll find this website isn't always helpful; this thread has had hundreds of views, yet no responses.
Tis just tough luck

I have this problem too. Not only losing l the Wifi but also all my personal settings, such as sounds in unlocking, typing etc. Drives. Me mad

Mine does the exact same thing as yours. Every couple of weeks or so all of my wifi networks just disappear. I've tried googling with no success. I just can't seem to find an answer either. I even have general/backup and reset/backup my data unchecked. My Note3 did this both when I was unrooted and now that I am rooted. It is a real pain.

Well, lets hope that someone will have a fix for that in the future. The WiFi profiles are getting wiped like once a month so its not very annoying but I hope it doesn't wipe my SD card or my personal data.
I have unchecked the Google backup for now, lets see if it fixes the issue.

@K-Alzwayed has a great thread going with a bunch of fixes it looks like #2 in his thread might fix this, you might want to check it out and see if that works for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793441
For a workaround (needs root), try saving a copy of the wifi configuration file and then the next time you lose your settings overwrite the file with the backup version
Code:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
