Hey Mr Tomatoe,

Total bummer, but this jacked my phone. I don't know why, but it got stuck just after the initial power on screen (normally the white HTC screen, mine's a badass black though) and before the animated boot screen. It just sat there on a black screen for like 10 minutes. I pulled the battery and tried again, same deal.

Then came the 'oh sh!t' moment. I had nandroided only system and data because it was late and I had already tried the 5x4 Rosie on one of the previous MikG versions. I restored and got the same thing, black screen. It dawned on me that since it wasn't completing the boot, well that's where the problem was. I don't know how this jacked the boot process, I didn't think that would have been involved at all. Anyway, I nand restored just the boot from my last complete backup and it worked.

This sucks cause I really want to run this, and I have no idea why it would do what it did. I'll try again sometime when I have more time to mess with it if it goes sideways again.

Anyway, just wanted to report this to ya. Thanks for all your work.:)

Do you have "pocket mode" turned off? Check settings - call - pocket mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DeathBySnuggles:
I'm getting the best battery life I've ever gotten with this ROM. I had the phone off the charger for 16 hours. Made about 5 calls averaging 15 minutes a pop. All radios on except 4G. Had poweramp running for 3 hours straight. Checked xda like once an hour. End if the day, I was at 20%. I have no complaints.
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
when you say you have vibrate mode off are you holding power to get to that option?.. if you are that option is for vibrate mode only . To turn off the option your referring to go to menu>settings>sounds>uncheck vibrate. If its still vibrating while unchecked I don't know what would cause that

Off topic...Mik your website is a lot quicker than just a day or two ago. Congrats on the improvement (new server I'm assuming?).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jfree3000:
The display will take up a majority of usage if you are not doing anything else with the phone and when you see the usage it seems like that's whats eating battery but its not. Check for rouge applications running, I have never seen or heard of anyone's display using 90% of the battery unless you leave the screen on or using the phone heavily.
[EVO 4G Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Is that it? Damn, didn't even think of that. The setting says that it just turns the volume up loud. Didn't know it would turn on vibrate too. And uh how does it know it's in your pocket? =)

Just a side note after seeing people posting about the wipe files such as VR superwipe etc. I used VR superwipe before and to be honest it didn't wipe everything and actually messed up some of my nand backups, how that happened I couldn't tell you. If you are using Amon Ra just wipe with his built in program.

[EVO 4G Android Development] QuiQNeZZ:
Right, but no, I have the volume turned up but the vibrate on calls and notification setting turned off and it was still vibrating. But as someone else just pointed out it seems pocket mode overrides that setting and makes it vibrate anyway.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and they do on home screen ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DCBC:
I think it uses the light sensor (same as for automatic display). If it's dark, it rings loud. Or, it's the same thing it uses to turn off the display when the phone is next to your head during a call (love that not new feature btw).
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
haha i dont know about lockscreen but my homescreen message widget doesnt show messages. just the htc greeting which I like better cuz I like having that widget but I dont like all my messages to be in plain sight for if screen is on. Wonder if I copy apk for messagewidget will it stay messed up in other roms even though I font think Ill ever switch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kkwus74:
Regarding the screen automatically changing to 100% brightness, think one of the guys earlier is right. It's the camera that's doing this.

I set my brightness to 30% on manual and turned on my camera, took a picture and backed out of the camera. Went to check screen brightness. It was at 100%..... Is there gonna be a fix?

That is why you need to read first, post later because I am super quick at the draw! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Yea its not EVERY time I use the camera, but it happens frequently. Also occurred before after I ended a phone call, but again, doesn't happen every time.

I don't think there's going to be a fix at the moment because I don't think its rom related. I'm no expert by any means, but I think its something with the new kernel.

My fiance's evo is unrooted stock with the recent OTA update so she has the same kernel...I will check later to see if hers has a similar issue or not.

Okay ran into I minor bug, the usb drive is not reading. When the phone is plugged into the computer it only charges, it doesn't display the disk drive options
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Take a quick look back at earlier posts. One or two other people had a similar problem, but most people don't. There were a bunch of suggestions for various troubleshooting options to try. Post back after eliminating all of those potential fixes if it is still an issue.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
go to menu>settings>sdcard and make sure the card is reading in the phone. usually if the option to mount as disk is missing your card is not reading. If that's that case pull battery pop the card out and put back in and try again. If the card is reading but no disk drive option then you pretty much have 2 options. Put in recovery and mount or re install rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottgalit61:
Ok guys heres what i need to know! Dnlded the new radio and tried to install it, but message came up quick saying installation aborted, can anyone tell me why and how should the radio be flashed... Thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] waterbound:
Possible fix for brightness..

I can duplicate the same bug but the brightness settings stick (for me) if I use the HTC widget to lower or adjust the brightness.

If I set using the settings, it stays at whatever I set at until I actually use (take a picture) the camera. If I use the widget it sticks and stays at whatever I set to.

Try it.. If it works for all its a good workaround..
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
I flashed it in recovery and I have no bugs....
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
Radio shouldn't be flashed!!

rename file to PC36IMG place on root of sdcard(just in open not in a folder)

power down then hold vol- and power or while on hit power button and select restart and then select bootloader

bootloader will recognize the img and select yes and let it do its thing

DO NOT stop it or pull battery or anything for that matter you can brick your phone while updating radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Is the zip on the root of your SD? I think having it in my downloads folder is what caused the same error for me the first couple of times I tried to flash radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
You dont flash with recovery. If you don't know this already then I'd think twice before doing whatever it is your doing. But here is how to do it properly

rename the zipped file PC36IMG.zip and put in root of sdcard

if adb installed you can use cmd prompt and type adb reboot bootloader

once in boot loader hit power and just wait for the phone to automatically read the radio.

when it says volume up to update hit volume up

when that finished hit volume up to reboot

....damn man I need to type faster everyone keeps beating me to respond
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Just tried it. Didn't make a difference for me. I used the camera in Paypal again, it FC'd, and the brightness jumped to 100% even with the widget at the lowest setting.

Thanks for trying! Its more of an annoyance than a bug haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seandelise:
The rom is awsome and everything is working great. The only problem I found which isn't a big deal is you cant get all the options from the new weather app because the pull down is in the way and you cant tap the top right corner. Same with text compose button and market search button unless in lanscape or you press the menu. Great work and again the rom is awsome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
You might be right but I've flashed radios at least 5 times in the past couple of weeks in recovery without an issue. I just had to make sure the zips were on the root of the SD. If there is a known risk with this I'll change the way I do it also, but its been fine for me thus far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] klarthur:
I'm having an issue with this rom, I actually think it's the kernel because it has happened on Virus's rom also, where my bluetooth headset will sometimes say it is connected, when it actually isnt. Naturally I go into the bluetooth settings and try to connect it, and no dice. It won't even let me unpair the bluetooth sometimes. I end up having to wipe the cache and davlik and that fixes it, however, that is an inconvenient workaround. Anyone else having an issue with their bluetooth staying connected?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jstn76rs:
Thanks. worked great. just had to do a2sd reinstall after the check and seems to working fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
????

he is right and thats exactly what i wrote also.

5 times in the past couple of weeks? they havent updated the radios that many times in the past year i dont think. unless your downgrading?
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
Yep a2sd reinstall is a good thing to do anyways to make sure everything is running smooth.

Yea I'm new to all of this so I was playing around with different radios last week on Virus's rom to see if any of them gave me significantly better signal. I upgraded an downgraded a bunch of times just testing it out, and I was just flashing...no issues in doing so at all.

Again, not trying to argue because I don't know any better, but am I risking anything by flashing if it keeps working for me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
I don't know whether or not its bad or good to to through recovery but the way I learned was anything thats official from manufacture its better to install through bootloader. If it worked through recovery for you then cool, but I like to do things properly. And I'm not trying to say your way is wrong when I say properly I mean by the books if there was one
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
I might be wrong, but i didn't know they were packaged in zip files at all, can you post one of these zip files you flashed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
I didn't know..I flashed and I have no issues....

[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
see what ive read and learned is that radios are boot images and can only be upgraded through the bootloader. like i said i could be wrong but according to Xhausx who normally post the radios that i use he firmly states to only upgrade through the bootloader

That's the one I flashed also... I did not even realize he put for you to use boot loader.. Did I mess anything up that I may not know about yet??
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
I've seen flashable ones, but I think they were edited/modified to be able to flash in recovery. Therefore I feel more comfortable using one that isn't messed with to insure it works. I dont think a Radio can brick your phone if something is wrong with it, but might mess with your signal/wimax <-----Assumption not fact but it makes sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Makes sense...I'll just do it in the bootloader from now on if that's the right way to do it. I haven't seen any signal issues but I might as well do it the right way. Thanks for the tip guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] satur9ine:
I think that whether you can flash radios in recovery depends on the version of clockwork mod you are on. 3.0 and above can't flash via recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
now after seeing the ones posted above your post, its the first ive seen and i agree with you i would rater use the image file and upgrade through the bootloader.

to the guys having trouble try the link i posted and get the image files and follow the instruction to use the bootloader you shouldn't have any problems.

radios are things you don't wanna mess with, it a good way of bricking your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
amon ra never has problems flashing, i would recommend switching to amon ra2.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
Probably not but there is no way for me to tell. Just play with your phone make sure 3g and 4g works. I dont know what else would be affected by it but you'll just have to wait and see if issues come up
[EVO 4G Android Development] steal25:
if its a flashable zip you don't need to use the bootloader, you can access the recovery menu through the bootloader and flash through recovery. image files will automatically be detected in the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
Radio

I see what you did. You just flashed a part of the ota radio that was extracted. no that will not hurt your phone, but what about WIMAX and PRI you want those updaed as well thats why its best to do the combo as a boot img than to do the others one by one through recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] bytes2bits:
No, oddly they don't register on the home screen either. I have an icon for Gmail, and ChompSMS which both used to show unread count when I was on CM (which is neither here nor there).
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
Would it be okay for me to download and reinstall via bootloader? Does anyone have a link on instructions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MizzouBrent:
I flashed Calkulin's combo zip file in recovery with RA 2.3 and everything seems to have worked. That wasn't right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Well I think the combo file he had on the thread covered everything, but to be safe I just flashed each separately, rebooted to make sure it took, and tried the next one. I did the radio first, then Wimax, then NV, then PRI I think...not positive of the order but they all took on the first shot.

[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
Android platforms are designed for certain radio firmware versions and you want the proper radio with the platform your running for best performance. It is not something you need for your phone to run, but it is if you want it to run at its best. Same rule applies when downgrading as well. you dont want to keep the newest radio with a 2.1 rom.

I dont get why people dont use bootloader for the simple fact that its easier. all you do is go into bootloader it loads itself vol up to update vol up to reboot done . recovery isnt hard either but there are more steps. like I said earlier whatever your more comforatable with is what you should do dont do something if you are scared of doing it wrong.

Radios

Holy crap guys/gals(maybe)!!! All this radio talk, you guys really need to read A LOT more before you start messing with your phones. Screwing up while updating your radios is the single most surefire way to brick your phone.

Check out this thread about radios. I haven't updated them so I'm not 100% those are the latest radios, I would assume they are.

Moral of the story, read, read, read, read, and read some more before you start messing with your phones.

Those that flashed the radios via recovery did you happen to look to see if your radios even changed? Did they update?

EDIT: Hi Tommy...Great minds think a like. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
100% agree full rom with clean install run much better
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Thanks Tommy...the discussion was about whether or not flashing was a good idea. I've been flashing radios, but from the ongoing discussion, it sounds like the standard way to do it is through bootloader. Do you know if it makes a difference either way?
[EVO 4G Android Development] billbowers:
No... from 1.01 do a complete wipe of everything, ( or else you'll end up sounding like the rest of the morons who complain that the Rom doesn't work) and flash the full v1.03 Rom. Not the upgrade, the full Rom.

sorry, in the time it took me to answer that, someone else already answered it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
just to add on here is some more info to read up on. the more you know the less likely to brick your phone.

http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
Yes I made sure to check as soon as I booted up to see if the radios changed. When I saw it work the first time, I didn't think there was an issue with flashing it, so that's the way I thought it was done.

The only thing I read while researching it prior to trying it the first time was that the way to brick the phone was to pull the battery before the process was completely done. Other than that, I didn't see anything that said flashing it could brick the phone, so I went with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Personally, I've only flashed one radio. That was because the stock ota 3.70 kernel required it. Recovery is easier in my opinion because you don't have to rename anything and also it ensures you're flashing right one. Bootloader method selects it automatically and there is the chance that you can rename the wrong file "PC36IMG.zip"

Just my take.

:-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ss12108:
That's actually why I did it that way also haha. I found it easier to DL the file from the device, move it to the root of the SD, and reboot into recovery.

To each his own...I'm done commenting on radios because its a topic for a different thread. Anyone see my post about Paypal? Any takers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] taadow1030:
I actually flashed an all in on combo pack posted by XsMagical. I wiped cache and dalvik and a few minutes later, everything was done. I too was deathly afraid of bricking my Evo, but the OP and advice from other posters made it easy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] will0286:
If someone bricks an evo they need to be banned. the only way to actually brick it is to somehow delete the stock recovery which i dont even know how you would. I think a hex editior is needed for that not 100% sure. but either way if you brick it your deserve it. battery pulling out while installing might not even brick, I wouldnt test it out but even if you do that you still have stock recovery where you can runa bootable amon and go from there.
