[Q] Phone restarting all the time when USB connected to PC

---

Sick and tired of this.

50% of time it's acting normally, other 50% it turns itself off and on continously, basically giving me a limited time span to copy files onto the SD card.


Also, another question - is it possible to turn off the automatic widget/program rearrange thing ? When you're on the homescreen or on programs listing screen, and when you hold your finger a bit longer, the phone automatically opens a "mode" which lets you rearrange your icons/widgets/etc, is there a possibility to turn that off ? Getting tired of sometimes holding my finger on the phone for a brief second more to have that rearrangement crap activated.

The problem is not your phone, but the cable or the computer.. Try to unistall your drivers and then reinstall or use another cable..
About disable screen widget option, i don't if it's possible, but try to use another launcher.. i recommend launcherpro..

tried with a different cable, didn't work, same **** as always ( the moment PC recognizes the phone and pops autoplay message for the SD card to browse it or w/e, phone freezes, then restarts, then works for like 20 seconds after first reboot, then shuts down entirely and starts rebooting slower and slower after each reboot, and when I take the cable out, the phone suddenly starts acting normal )


will try on a different PC, doubt it it's going to make a difference

|edit|

yep, same **** on different PC - so far 3 PCs and 2 different cables causing this problem, so yeah, I think it's safe to say that it's a problem with my mobile phone, or the SD card at least, cause when the Autoplay option pops up on my PC screen, the phone blocks

aye, it's the SD card, just tested with another one and I have no problems whatsoever

so.. does anyone have the original content of the Sony Ericsson shipped SD card that I could use to restore my SD card to it's original state ?

I can post mines..

Send me a mail

I'll send it to you. Who knows what they ship on SD card in other countries.

edit:
it's little less then 200mb so it'll take some time to upload it. I'll send you the link by private message once it does.
Please inform me once you've downloaded it, so I can remove it from my server.

Xperia Bonbon je u pitanju! /i've deleted all mi personal **** from it, but if you find anything I missed such as my nude pictures and sex videos plase don't put it on youtube or flickr.

Kidding

i experinenced the same problem when i root the phone.then connected via usb to pc companion and repaired and reinstall the phone os.

i had the problem after updating to official 2.1. found out that it didnt occur when i pressed "charge phone" on the display after plugging in and activating the usb drive afterwards.

maybe you'll find different drivers in this board, i installed something at some time and its gone now

Try this, it worked for me: (I wanted to give the link to SE forum where they talked about this, but I'm not allowed, not enough posts, they say)

This seems to be quite a common problem in X's, there has been some bug in notification tone in the device in regard to the PC companion, some sort of confrontation which makes the phone to reboot all the time. So, I went to the settings, "sound and display", "notification ringtone", change to "thinkerbell"

Also, uncheck the "SD card notification"!

My phone does not reboot now, hope it will stay that way!

cheers, doesn't reboot anymore !
