Anyone having problems with RDP?

PC monitors are completely disabled after RDP session. Can't even see BIOS or any of the boot sequence but I can still RDP..
I'm not 100% certain the problem is my RDP. It doesn't happen every time I use my RDP but every time it has happened it has always been shortly after using it.
The problem is I will log in to my home PC using xtralogic's RDP app. It's a great app, well worth the price in terms of functionality. When I finish the rdp session I go to wake my pc up and nothing.. the screen is black and stays that way even after rebooting. I can't even see the boot up so there is no way to navigate the BIOS
It has happened 3 times. The first time I remoted in and reinstalled the video drivers and the monitor came back on right after install was finished.
The second time I unplugged everything except power to the box and the monitor cable from the PC and rebooted and it came back on.
The third time I tried both of the above to no avail. Each I removed and re-seated my video card. I don't know exactly what fixed it but after reseating my video card again and rebooting a dozen times (trying various things each time) my monitor finally came back to life.
I know this is loose but it seems to be related to the RDP, Anyone else have similar experience?
[disclaimer]
I know this is not a PC forum. I know this is XDA and XDA is for PHONES and my post is 99% about my PC and 1 precarious percent about my phone but on the chance someone else has experienced this..
If you think this is OT or in the wrong thread and you want to throw some flames then please, make em good.. I have no idea how to backtrace.. /\

Oh yeah, I do have one other question on a different subject. Has anyone tried cyanogenmod yet?

[Q] Xperia Arc rebooting randomly for no reason? :(

Hi all,
I recently bought a Xperia Arc, all new, as i started using it noticed it reboots itself often, for no reason apparently, its very annoying since it takes about 2 minutes to restart.
It doesn't matter if i'm taking photos, video, playing games, or even in a call, it can reboot anytime, the screen freezes for like 2 secs then shuts off and restarts.
I cant take it to SE cuz i bought it overseas, and since it's my first android i have no idea what's wrong with it.
It's a wonderful phone and don't wanna have to sell it because of that.
Any ideas on what could be happening? and how to fix it?
Thx in advance.

Install both (required for the drivers):
- PC Companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiaarc?cc=gb&lc=en
- Update Service: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiaarc?cc=gb&lc=en
Use any of them to update/repair the phone back to stock.
Or use the FlashTool and flash it again.

If it continues rebooting after reflashing it, then you need to take it back and get an exchange.

Thanks BluechipJ and daveybaby, im currently at work, so i'll try reflashing it tonight.

I found if the device gets hot (Upper portion of the back, not the battery. I guess that's where the CPU and RAM are), it reboots. It happens more often when I play games while charging. while standing by on battery, mine never reboots by itself. If your problem persists, maybe you need to consider replacing it.

My Xperia Neo used to crash randomly too, usually once a day or once every to days. For some strange reason, it seems to have stopped since I've started using AppKiller and Go Launcher. Right now I'm in the 125th hour of uptime and counting...

yea mine restarts quite often when people call me...im going to take into docomo today and let them know...

been testing it for several days now, the reboots stopped after the flashing
Thanks again

I have flashtool,do I just re run it? will i lose my root/apps/data?

Mine freezes sometimes and then the screem goes of from left to right and reboots
Did you have the same?
Sometimes it runs for 100+ hours and today it happend after 39-46 hours uptime.
It mostly happens when I use it a lot and the RAM was quite low before. Maybe mine runs out of RAM?

Um... could be? Im using a task process killer now so maybe. Try autokilling unnecesary processes.
Cheers

Mhm, everyone says they do more bad than good.
But I'll look at processes that eat up RAM when it runs for a while. Currently it's fast @ ~ 30 hours uptime.

Rebooting every few minutes - my tablet now resembles a potato

Hi all,
I have a vanilla, unrooted tablet which had Marshmallow installed a few weeks ago. It reboots constantly (like I am lucky to get 2-3 minutes out of it). Sometimes it reboots 7 or 8 times in a row until I give up and hold the power button down.
Have cleared cache and factory reset (multiple times). This hasnt solved the problem. I thought this might be an issue with the Google Play Store, as it generally crashes as soon as I run this (as the first thing I do after the reset) - so after one of the resets I downloaded the latest playstore APK and installed it. Also did not login to the play store in case this was corrupted or something. Have tried this without loading ANY apps other than the stock that comes after the reset - but still the issue persists.
All of the above has been done with the SD card removed - and with full charge
Generally it crashes as soon as I try and run any app or go to settings etc. This is even with the completely factory reset and wiped tablet with no additional apps installed.
Having tried everything, am down to the theory of hardware fault - specifically the battery. After the last update (which failed half way through) I had big problems with battery life and the tablet got (and still gets) quite hot. I am thinking something in the new update might have put extra stress on the battery, which after a few weeks has caused it to fail.
Is this possible, and is there anyway in logs etc to tell if this is hardware or software?
Anyway, other than throwing this away and buying a new one - am not sure what the next step to solve this is. (Maybe revert to previous Android?). Any suggestions or help is welcome, but I am thinking of throwing this away and not throwing good money after bad...
(Have emailed Samsung but of course never heard back - so suffice to say my next tab wont be Samsung)

try download your stock firmware and flash it with odin via your pc.

i had problem with my tab...i had restarts always...whatever i do, every few seconds it restarts by itself... but it works normaly on cable so i went to search for a solution and lol i laughed when i saw what was the solution...i removed the backcover fo the device and then just reatached the battery connector cable and thats it and now my tab works normaly even on battery.not sure if u have similar issue but u can try it it will take u 5 min work and also u have video on Youtube how to dissambly galaxy tab S...cheers mate and wish u good luck

I solved this prob yesterday, itb works fine nw, didnt crash since, just open the tablet remove the basttery vlean its pins then reinstall it
U can find vedios explaining hw to remomve z battery

OK - have updated firmware with ODIN (and tried 3 different versions going back to Android 5)
Have undone the back and removed battery and reset cables. Even replaced the battery with one I bought off Ebay
Cant think of anything else, must be a fault on a board somewhere...
I think she is dead. :crying:
Thanks to those who posted and sent me PM's - really do appreciate it.

By the way, it is definitely something to do with the power. When it reboots and it is attached to a USB, the screen flashes up with the empty battery (ie charging from completely empty) symbol momentarily (maybe a second or 2 tops) before flashing up with 64% or whatever the actual battery level is...

If your battery can go from 0% to 64% in a few seconds, the battery connector needs to be resoldered due to cracked solder joints.
This rework only takes 5 minutes , ask a repair shop or anyone knows how to solder for assistant.

Xperia M "Unfortunately, xxxx has stopped" for ALL apps CONSTANTLY

Hi all, read many threads here and finally posting.
I have an xperia M (C1905 I think)
Short story:
As soon as I turn on this device within a few seconds I get the "Unfortunately, xxxx has stopped". I hit okay and within a second something else is stopped. This is repeated constantly for as long as I could tolerate waiting for. The odd occasion I have managed to get maybe 5 seconds between app crashing to navigate into the settings to try something out or check the album.
I am asking for help on what to do in order to access the files on the device. I really really want to save the images. I since has moved on to a Z and now a Z3 but at this moment I want to get the images. (Factory reset is thus out of the question). I rather leave the phone intact for years to pass until some technology makes it possible to retrieve the files.
Longer story:
I think this issue started occurring after an android update - which leads me to my conspiracy at the end of the post. Basically after an update I started noticing random apps being stopped/crashing without warning. Apps that weren't even being used. This happened maybe once a week, then a couple times a week. Seemed pretty random at first. Thus why I never took a moment to see the exponential trend and act fast to back up data. Over the course of a month probably, this just got worse to the point where an app of some sort is constantly crashing. It could be facebook, then gmail, then google, then a service, then homescreen blah blah anything and everything is crashing just so it can fill the screen. Multiple at a time. I hit ok and another appears or 5 more appear. Then I might get a glorious 4/5 seconds to browse the contents of the phone then boom another batch of crashes. The phone is completely useless right now, no way to navigate. Also, even with the phone turned on in safe mode or not, I cannot access the files whilst connected to my computer. The charging indicator shows up, computer recognises the device but on the odd occasion it does show up in "my computer" the folder does not open and the file explorer/documents just crashes. Xperia companion doesn't work either.
There was also an issue with charging/transferring media with the charge port. Bad connections but it was made better using the Sony original cable I have now. It charges alright now (instead of needing "the right" angle). Still, as far as I can remember data was hard to trasnfer, maybe I got 10 songs copied over before it stopped responding and had to cancel. All the files on the SD card I saved of course but the ones on internal storage are still there. I browsed the album for a few seconds and I just want to get them on my pc. I tried to copy to SD card but I can't perform that with the constant bombarding of crashing app error notifications that fill the screen. Also it seems like once the phone is on, I can navigate around (with the bombardment of crashing) but once the screen is allowed to time out it doesn't wake back with the power button. To mess with it again I have to pull the battery and put it back in. I have booted in safe mode to no avail, apps still keep crashing.
Please please help. I have USB debugging enabled if that helps? I just want to drag and drop my images and then the phone can sit in a draw. I am sure a factory reset would have it working back to normal but I can't lose the files.
Btw I think SONY is purposefully killing off these older devices. The phone worked flawlessly, yes it's older and not as fast but there was not a single issue (besides maybe the charge port wear). This issue with crashing is completely software related after an android update.
The phone is not rooted and no random software was installed (just social media and the like).
THANK you for any help!

Hey which rom are you using? do you have unlock your bootloader? if you are using stock rom and not unlock your phone bootloader then it can be resolve by using a software repair using sony pc companion.

Nexus 7 2013 Randomly Shutting Off?

Hello everyone,
I recently decided to buy a used Nexus and it seems to turn off every 5 - 20 minutes. Sometimes the tablet will lock itself first then around 5 minutes later it will turn off. I have opened the tablet to check if the connection to the battery was loose or anything else but everything seems to be properly attached. I have not rooted the tablet yet, but I did reinstall stock firmware just in case it was a software problem but it still continues to randomly shut off. Any clues on how to fix? Thanks!

Please make two tests:
connect and run on external power
use a fan to lower the tablet's temperature
Let us know...
