Frequent random resets and stuck in landscape

[signothefish]

My Epic resets itself at least once per day, and gets stuck in landscape mode every so often, the only (temporary) solution being to slide out the keyboard and slide it back in. Has anyone else been having either of these problems?

Are you using a task killer?

Are you using a task killer?

Only the native task killer, and only when absolutely necessary. I rarely kill any tasks, as I've read many threads that it's not a good idea to do.

If your situation is that bad and if you don't have the means to diagnose the problem, a hard reset might be in order.

That's what I'm waiting for, bipoler. Until then, guess I'll just "stick it out". A hard reset will require too much work for the potential offset benefit.

i would get random resets (up to 3 or 4 per day), i did a hard reset just to see if it helped. it seemed to help, but i still see it reset itself once and while (maybe once every few days).

I get that when I use slacker radio. I deleted slacker. Don't get that issue anymore with getting stuck in landscape. I get a random reboot now and then if I turn off bluetooth before I disconnect from the device.

I've noticed that the only time it gets stuck in landscape is after it has reset itself. It doesn't get stuck right away... seems there's a catalyst to first put it in landscape mode, such as the gyro or a landscape app. After that, it insists on staying on landscape orientation, unless I pull/push the keyboard back in, but then it goes back to landscape again after the next catalyst.

I have the same problem with both random reboot and stuck in landscape mode. I thought it was the Tasker profile to key the phone on while the keyboard is slid out, so I deleted it. I don't think that was the cause.

As for the random reboot, I still have it and just had one this morning. I wish there's some way to find out why the phone randomly reboots (like a log file, although that is a pain in itself). I had ACast running and then the phone will reboot out of nowhere.

I wonder is there a way to reset the gryo sensor. Maybe that's the cause of the stuck landscape?

FYI, if you are rooted, use quick boot to reboot your phone w/o having to go through the shutdown/startup process to fix the stuck landscape issue. That's my only way to solve this issue right now.

I took it to the Sprint store about this problem, and they ran a series of tests and said there is a system defect. They are doing a phone swap.

Hi all,

If your Android is stuck in the landscape position, it may be that G-Sensor calibration may be off as it was in the case of my new MyTouch 4G.

1. go to your homepage
2. hit your menu button
3. hit settings
4. hit display
5. hit G-Sensor
6. place your device on a known level surface and hit calibrate
7. hit ok

Your device should be working normally now.
Hope that helps,
Karl
