Hi there everybody, I've been having sudden Sleeps of Death, doing some research have found that may be sd card related, however nothing focused to our beloved T. After some time of inactivity phone won't come on after pressing power button to wake.
Anybody of you having this issue as well? Any advise?
I'm running timin8r stock Rom .233 along with its corresponding kernel, rooted and deodexed and a HP micro sd card, 32gb, class 10.
Thanks and happy holidays everyone!

I also have a 32GB microsd and haven't had any problems myself. Been on this ROM for a few days. It's been downloaded quite a few times and haven't had anyone else complain.
On stock kernel? If yes then sounds odd
Try a fresh install is all I can suggest or get a logcat

I've got a 64gb card in mine and no problems so far. Had my phone for about 6 weeks now.
If I helped hit thanks!
Ok guys, made a clean install from scratch yesterday and the problem is virtually gone, just one sod after a couple of hours of inactivity. However Media Server app is killing my battery, will not cease for hours consuming from 40 to 50%, doing some research they suggest changing sd card and empty it at all, which I've done unsuccessfully.
Could be somehow related? Is it just me having this weird behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

That's expected behaviour on a clean install. Android needs several hours to build all databases. Including media database.
Just wait another charge and see if it gets better

Well, it happened again today´s morning, I´m kind of frustrated here... when everything seemed to be running at last fine and smooth... So I ran the Repair Phone from the PC Companion which just installed the same version that I previously had, .233. And now the waiting.
My T is bootloader locked and no cpu manage apps.
Here a screenshot of the logcat from the aLogcat app just before the last crash.
Will update how is going after the companion repair, and if it continues then will be hardware related I think.
However any advice is always welcome, thanks!
EDIT: Same issue after Companion Phone Repair, and the same at night when entering deep sleep mode. So I've downloaded an app to prevent my T from going to deep sleep and seems to be working.
By the way wise guys any of you have a clue in how often or after how many minutes in lockscreen the phone will go to deep sleep? No info at all in the web and, baseband 33 is supposed to work fine in every network around the globe? I know of course they are location specific but can't find much about radios.
Thanks for helping!

I had some problems with my music database and had to clear the media storage app's database and then reboot the phone to rescan. When I did that the phone battery drained pretty fast for 30 mins or so and then settled down - and media server was shown by batt stats to have done most of the draining.
This might be linked to your problem. If your SD card has corruption on it then the media scanning may get part way through and get stuck, eventually causing a system issue that causes the SoD. It might not even be a corrupt file but some issue when it encounters a particular file due to a bug in the program.
My advice would be to backup card content, reformat and copy files back on slowly over a number of days to see if the SoD issue of happens after a particular file is copied onto the card.
Reformat is an important step here. If you empty your card and just copy the files back on it isn't a clean file system. Reformatting will give you a freshly initialised card to work from.
Thanks for the advise emuX, despite of have done this I could not get it to work. The SOD continued and every day it got worse. So I dropped my T to service via carrier. They held my device for a couple of days to find out that the hardware (just as I suspected) was the guilty department of these sod´s.
In fact they were not able to run a ftf or "flash cam" (never heard of that) since the hardware keys were not responding any more.
An exceptional case so far in the T but of course really annoying and disappointing.
They are to change my device as soon as they arrive, given they are sold out in my specific carrier store.
This could happen to any random device and there´s no software solution or walkthrough. If you have these symptoms do not hesitate to get an Exchange phone from your carrier. Hoping of course that will be the good one, just like me...
Flashing generics ftf´s, rooting, unlocking bootloader (officially done) etc, has nothing to do with this, it´s not somehow related and is not guilty of this bad. (Well, that said by the sony guy) Good luck with your device.
Happy holidays!

I have the same problem like you ....
Sometime my phone will not wake up and i nedd use vol. up + power ....
So your advice is to change phone ?
Hi everybody well... Again writing from my new T and guess what... The same issue again so dont really know what could be happening. From now I'll be looking from Sony Support advise since this is inaceptable indeed.
Have done nothing to my phone at all, no root, no mods, no sd, no nothing. Even running it with all the brand bloatware.
Let's see what happen to our device in the future.
Merry Christmas.

Hi, i dont have any adw launcher,any SD card.Nothing just plain system.. And guess what.1.time when this happend to me was after when i open the box with new phone unbox it ,charge battery, after that power on my device play with phone maybe 10 minutes (it was without sim card,without,sd card, just on wifi).After that i leaved new phone on the table maybe for 20 minutes and than i couldnt wake up my phone -just with volumeUP+power.
So I dont think so its problem with some app or launcher....i think i need to change present sony to another sony xperia t and i will see. I think its a hardware problem...
Then you really really have some bad luck mate. Hope your next XT goes better. I personally never had an sod. So musty be either an app or hardware. Maybe some carrier app? Don't know which carrier you are on, and which carrier any other user with sod has.

Any news ? Today i will reclaim my phone so we will see whats going on..
I've had the same issue. Took my first t back and got it swapped. This one's not doing bad so far. Only issue I have is the fact that I've fitted a 16g sd card and no matter what I do files that I have moved onto the ext card always end up back on the original card. Don't know how to resolve this.

Hello again guys, updating this thread well... I´ve got to tell you, I´ve tried everything to live with this *** issue, with no need for this of course, and non of my "tricks" have given relief for it.
Installed wakelock apks to prevent this SOD or Sudden death, wathever... Obligate my T to stay awake by using EVERY SINGLE MINUTE doing whatever it took and usually didn´t know what to keep it that way.
Not to say I tried flashing ftf´s from here to there expecting that could be the expected medicine. Nothing worked.
So today I finally got an exchange phone from warranty at my carrier and got a SGS3, can´t be happier.
Despite of knowing some sIII have begun behaving bad as the T, my III doesn´t seem to match the faulty criteria and I´m enjoying a very reliable phone.
A blazzing fast, Bond deserved phone.
I noticed that this bug happens very rarely when I disable the wi-fi and normally it happens when I receive the notification of an upgrade from the Play Store.
While the wi-fi is enabled the SOD happens almost every 30 minutes.
Does it happens to somebody else?
Hi Guys

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..
I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.

Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly
so i thought to get some ideas if it could be calibration data or something, as i have already flashed it but it didn't yield any result..
I got a note7000 offer at a bargain price; half the price of the original... the idea is that the guy is selling it as fault emmc bug. He told me that wiping the data - factory reset caused the problem.
The phone works from times to times he said, is still partially functional, thus he still asks for the price of SII for it, which he wants to replace with.
My question is:
Is the emmc bug permanent? I want to buy it cause is such a awesome screen\phone and i cant afford one from retails at full price. My plan is to downgrade from ics to gb with safe kernels and hope it wont brick with odin as unsafe as it is already.
Don't buy it. He is selling a bricked device for half the price (I wouldn't pay that for a used but fully functional right now).
And you will always get problems with it in many different situations.
Its risky for me, but also rewarding. If you'd seen this particular phone, is almost brand new. He told me it wasn't used much and that is visible on the over all aspect. And god, i love amoled screens, even if pentile is infamous.
Could you describe what you mean by being bricked? -> the phone boots and installs stuffs, but from time to times has the flaw of getting stuck -> require reset.
Its on the way
ps. I trust that if i had this stuff happen to me, coming from a samsung product, i would be able to get it fixed somehow.
Congrats: you just bought a bricked device. I guess he used the repartition workaround which reduces available capacity.
He didn't do the only real fix: replace motherboard in Samsung Service Center.
If you read here more before buying you would understand my "do not buy". Now you will learn later.
And he didn't lie to you - he told everything about the condition.
If you want to learn now while waiting for it, start to read about bricked devices here, about hg42's repartition thread etc. You might need it
Well, wish me luck. I'm gonna follow the steps from around the topics here.
I just hope i can watch movies, and pictures, and browse the mail... then he can get stuck but just a little.
I got an ace on my sleeves though. I can test it before i buy it... any advices, maybe doesn't even have the bug, how i notice
that ?
I'm gonna try these steps on the clip from rootgalaxynote:
youtube - hDtTNDVcTF4
If it doesn't work, i'm screwed cause i do not have a replace phone atm.
Following those steps will only mean that you won't brick it again... and anyway that is really outdated... When you've had enough of constant freezes then you will probably want to try a slim rom such as Slim Bean 4.2.2
I just purchased a n7000 from a guy on eBay for $350.00. It has the Ultimate rom installed in the screenshots. This means that it should be fine, right? I should receive it this week sometime. I bricked my i9100 back when the brick bug first appeared so I'm kind of worried about this.

Thanks for replies. I dunno what to expect. It is worrying, but probably i'll return it back cause is not worth the money if you put it this way "unusable".
He said to me to add a new sd card,,, i guess here is where he was just too honest. This confirms that there is actually a permanent damage to the hardware, especially the hefty 16 GB of memory.
My friend has the bug and he did the workaround , The phone freezes when you turn on bluetooth or wifi , And also the internal memory is low , but good luck with your's btw "restarting it from time to time" seems suspicious though

Apparently that was a slight misleading. On itself doesn't restart. I got the phone right now. Is so huge even an elephant could use it.
Only freezes when i try write something thru usb cable. The ram is smaller, only 5 gb.

Really? Then it might be double-bricked and double "workarounded". Each time lossing about 3 GB...
When I close my eyes I see the grinning of this a--h-le who sold it for real money.

Now I want to see if is only a memory problem of the storage sd, or is as well as for the last 'bastion' of my phone, 2GB rom... cause then i can install slimbean like i've been adviced here.

First off, i'm in a bit of trouble right now. As you can guess, i can do something about it, cause beyond this is the morality of getting into a mess on someone's fault. Now that has to be decided, as long as is not mine.
This guy told me it is partially usable, add a card, try fix it yourself. At 190$ i expect to be better then a S1 or nexus s which might easly outmatch this phone. If is a matter of pride. Just keep it to yourself.
Either i give this guy a bad review as is a site as amazon, where user feedback is noted, or i return it back myself. Is not the holly grail, is just a phone.
He told me is not permanent damage.
LE: I got some good news and bad new:
I cannot add videos, it simply doesn't write. It doesn't freeze my phone anymore, this time i'm using samsung kies. Good news, i can write photos and songs.
I'm half way there in trusting this guy that with a sd card, the phone will work just okay in installing stuff.
On the other hand, i dunno if the internal storage is damaged; can i install jelly bean? or change the culprit kernel? or should i live with it as it is.
the seller has a no return policy. so ur actually screwed. you think the seller is a noob and that he didnt know about the fix. sometimes being too wise makes u feel and idiot in the end.

How was his random ranting relevant to this topic?
So what do you think... flashing a new kernel and formating the sdcard do any good?
I may have a different term for bricking: When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
As far as i see, this device has stuff installed on it, and i can't figure how he did it.
recommend me a memory error checking app if u know, please!
Flash a safe kernel and flash a new ROM.. Try that and if all works good we´ll continue..
I know there are threads on this problem with other Transformer pads, but I am wondering if anyone had this problem with the TF701 (WW)?
I just get the message about "Unknown error, might be network connection..."
Of course my network connection is fine, and I am using the unlock tool found at ASUS support site for the TF701. That is version 8.
I have tried this a couple of days, many times per day, it just gives me the same error.
I have read people with other Transformer models who contacted ASUS and gave them their serial numbers and MAC-addresses, which seems to solve the problem in some cases.
Others are refering to ASUS devicetracker (devicetracker.asus.com) which seems to be taken down, or is it just available in US?
I called ASUS, they never heard of the problem.
I am thankful for any help!
I think you ended up downloading the unlock tool for the TF700, not TF701. The latter only has one tool, version 1.
The former has the v8

Thanks, but version 8 is the right one. It's just called v 1.0 on ASUS TF701 support site.
Ok, in that case just keep trying. For some people it literally took 40 -50 tries and it worked all the sudden.
At the same time register your tablet on Asus VIP service, then conatct them and explain your problem.
The mismatched database entries was a big problem for many TF700 owners - haven't heard anything like that for the TF701 ever.
Send them a screenshot of your About Tablet page with each mail and ask them to check their database and correct the entry for your tablet.
Good luck

I just wanted to put in my two cents here. I've been having the same issues with the bootloader unlock tool for the last 3 months. I've called customer support numerous times and been told too bad. We don't support that. We don't care. I bought this tablet for its vast power but I am not even allowed to experience its full potential. I am deeply disappointed in Asus. It has been nothing but problems with this thing but through patience some have resolved themselves.
You're suggestion may have been the light at the end of my tunnel. I have never hears of the VIP support until now. I have done the same, registered and sent them a ticket request. I uploaded a screenshot of the screen saying password incorrect.
Here's hoping this can finally be resolved. If this fixes it, I'll be sure to tell everyone that's still having problems with the tool.

Yes, officially Asus does not provide any support as soon as yu mention "unlock". That's why people were telling them thry could not get registered for Asus Device Tracker (same problem: no s# in Asus database = no device tracker).
The VIP service people seem to be a little more receptive than general support. But it really depends on who happens to read your mail...
That's why you want to be persistent. Turn yorself into a polite and friendly PITA and don't forget to attach a screenshot to each mail you send.

I don't know the exact description since English is not my first language, but if you log in to for an example Gmail, then go to your Google account up to the right, you will find an option for allowing "unsecure apps".

I think I found what you're referring to. It's in the Google account management section. It's the area where you can make your internet experience immune to Google's pull. You can edit adsense settings, see your entire Google history, YouTube videos you've viewed all sorts of stuff. It's really cool, but unfortunately the boot loader unlock tool doesn't come up in that list of apps. That list consists of third party apps that have all already gained access.
If you're referring to yet a different screen, maybe a screenshot would be helpful?

If you are not using two-factor authentication this link should work:

Yeah, this looks like the classic database mismatch problem. Keep trying to use the app and contact Asus.
It really depends on who you happen to talk/email to. So don't give up. Just read about someone who bought an unlocked TF701 on ebay which was totally messed up and he/she got an RMA approved without any problem...
Ask for a supervisor, escalate it... If you're willing to give up your warranty - why should they care?

Now I am very disappointed with the HTC 510, mainly cause of it's awful operating system bundled by google ALL OVER the place
The user interface is a one big disaster, so much annoying and unnecessary stuff... besides the annoying bloatware (parental control app? srsly?)
I really wanna root this phone and change it's OS to those similar of gingerbreed, cyanogen etc but I don't know how to do this with my current phone
and don't even know what custom operating systems are available for the model I have.
What annoys me about the user interface:
*Often lowers the earphone music volume without my permission then gives me this annoying warning that making it higher will damage my hearing - srsly?
*Screen tends to lower it's lighting and back again by itself while I use the phone
*A button at the bottom of the menu that looks like a "home logo" will open somekind of useless google page each time I drag that button up by mistake.
*Terrible and irremovable Gallery app, not to mention it displays images in uncomfortable way, it also features a slideshow which often plays automatically without me asking it to each time I enter a photo album.
*Poorly made irremovable alarm clock app
*Other forced google apps installed on my phone which i don't use and can't just get rid of
*Bad just bad option of organizing apps, well for me atleast, back on my Xperia ARC I used to organize my apps by "commonly used apps" feature, went great, here it's just wacky, it doesn't do it automatically after you set it to organize the following way. So I find myself surfing through all the useless apps to find the app I need at the app menu.
Can anyone give me guidance or recommendation for an alternative Operating System I could replace this horrific google product infecting my phone since I bought it?
I presume this phone would become amazing with a new custom OS, did anyone changed the OS on their HTC 510? if yes what you use and how is it?
Also I know to root this device you first need to unlock the bootloader, is there anything else important I need to know when rooting it?

Perhaps you should buy an iPhone.

Beggars can't be choosers. Of course this person is trying to be both.

Dude really. Maybe you should have checked out the forums of this model B4 you bought it. That being said, since you say you are unlocked and rooted then doing a quick search should get you everything you need to rid yourself of all that is bothering you. Depending on what you have and with whom there are some pretty good options out there to use. Check it out and start doing it.
Or you could just throw your phone in the lake, buy and Iphone and forget about it. Bam!

I actually planned to buy Galaxy 3, heard it was good but also had slow loading problems, then I was offered an alternative of this HTC for the same price and faster working system. It was a spontaneous buy.
And I thought buying an Iphone but changed my mind cause of the "itunes" thing.

Ok, how do I deal with the "menu" thing where I want to authomatically always to arrange my icons by last used but cant right now?
I tried themes, but those are so intrusive and full of advertising, well those I tried so far.. (if there are any good ones to recommend I'd give a try) and how about disabling the annoying requests of updates I don't even need? <--(forgot to mention this issue) And how about issues 1-3 I mentioned? any idea how i deal with those then? You talk as if it's so easy, show me then.
About the lake.. better to throw to those who came up with this terrible phone idea

All I can say (and I never said it was easy) is for you to subscribe to all of the HTC 510 Forums and start reading thru the threads. In your case, the most helpful one being this one..."Help & Troubleshooting" if you can not find answers to your particular questions then I would assume that means we just aren't there yet. This is a pretty new device after all. I wouldnt know about themes being I am on custom ROM and that is not an option. You should maybe go for the Unlock and root your phone method. Try out some of the ROMs available. I believe that will alleviate many of your issues since the stock ROM that came with these units have multiple issues. Many of them are the same ones you are experiencing. I wish you well and Read, Read, Read.
Good Luck

You should definitely read through the forums if you haven't so far. I have read/skimmed every thread here about our phone and I almost have no questions or concerns except for some ideas for a couple of issues that haven't been brought up yet or just not yet done.
I only use Sense Home or Dodol Launcher and they both don't have the option to sort by last used, check out Nova, Apex, or some other launcher.
As far as the update is concerned, you can follow this post by LarryBoyG, if you plan to stay on stock. I'm sure a custom ROM will be built that includes the update, unless everyone just wants to wait for Lollipop.
