[Thunderbolt General] snowbdr89:
Do I flash it via hboot an do I have to rename the zip?
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
I do recall her saying that it was happening stock as well. This morning I rooted it again and flashed the most current radio once again and flashed Das BAMF 1.6, so we will see if she continues to have any problems. I'll keep everyone posted as to if she is having problems or not.
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I'm not in front of a computer right now, but yes you rename it something like PG05IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and then boot into hboot. Double check that name thought as I came from an Evo and not sure if I'm mixing the two up!
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
You got it right
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
OK, so the other night as I mentioned already I flashed my phone back to S-On stock like it was new out of the box, rooted it again (without any errors during the process this time), restored my CM7 nandroid from right before I did all of this and then flashed the suggested radio set for CM7. I should also mention that I'm always talking on my Motorola Endeavor HX-1 BT headset through all of this before and now, never actually using the phone against my head.

Since doing what I described above I've been told that the ends of my words will kind of drop off sometimes but that now it is so much better than before and people on the other end don't get frustrated trying to hear me anymore. I have also noticed that I can hear people I'm talking to at a higher volume now. That sounds good of course, but before getting the Thunderbolt I used an Evo (also running CM7) and when using my Moto HX-1 headset people could not even tell that I was sitting outside and then got into my car and drove home during the conversation. Now with the Thunderbolt even after doing everything the other night people can hear all of the background noise, wind, etc.

I have a replacement Thunderbolt arriving Tue or Wed, and when it arrives I will leave it stock, put my LTE SIM in it and make some test calls for a couple days with the headset and report back what people say.
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
Ok so here is a new thing. My wife's phone no longer goes into 4g. Really making me think she has a bad phone.
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I do too. My GF said that she couldn't hear me again last night like before. Replacement should be here by tomorrow so I'll try it and update.
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
Here is something interesting that I just observed. I live in Chicago, while in Chicago she isn't getting any 4G, barely able to hold onto 3G. My T-Bolt has no problem getting and holding onto a solid 4G. Well we are in Detroit for the weekend, and sure enough now her phone is working perfect with a strong 4G.

Could this be tower related and not phone related? Are alot of these problems people are seeing actually coming from the tower and not the handsets themselves?
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
Bump any thoughts
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I happened to be reading a review of another phone on BGR and they mentioned something about it not having the poor voice quality issues that their review of the Thunderbolt mentioned! So I looked up their Thunderbolt review and it said:

"Callers on the other end weren’t overly impressed with the quality of voice calls either, and some went as far as to use particularly colorful language to describe the audio quality. I’ll spare you the details."

Here's the link to the full article: http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/28/htc-thunderbolt-review/
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
(davidbudd1, sorry you had to bump the thread. I saw your post yesterday morning but didn't have time to properly reply until today.)

OK, so I received my replacement TB last week and was finally able to get everything set up over the next few days (manual root w/ADB, etc.). I talked to my GF on Friday night from my apartment in Temecula, CA and after about 10 minutes she called me on my work phone (Droid Pro on VZW also) instead because the audio from my TB still sucked.

Yesterday I was at my GF's up in Marina Del Rey (in Los Angeles about 10 minutes from LAX and about 95 miles from me) and called my Mom for Mother's Day. It didn't take but all of 2 minutes at the most for my Mom to complain and say she could barely understand at least half of what I was saying. Just for the heck of it I turned my BT headset off and held the TB to my head in case it was some weird BT issue with the TB chipset, but it didn't help.

I'm going to try using the TB without my BT headset tonight or tomorrow night just to say I tried more than once to take that out of the equation and I'll report back.
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
I'm wondering if it is part of their network causing the problems. I was surprised to.see my wife's phone working perfect while we were in detroit, but as soon as we got back to Chicago hers once again sucked.
[Thunderbolt General] prozal:
same problem

4th phone all ready from amazon, same problem , must be network or sim. I travel a lot from Chicago to Texas with no change to voice quality same crappy muffed sound, :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Thunderbolt General] cthuga:
Same problem here in Minneapolis. My wife and I were both on TMO previously and the voice quality was soo much better. Often times while talking to each other one of us has to hang up and callback to get a clearer signal while on 4G. I am impressed with everything on the TB except the voice quality is quite rubish. I think the voice quality using Skype video is better. wtf?
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I now know 2 other people at work with TBs and neither of them have any voice clarity issues at all.

For now since I still can't talk on the phone with my original or replacement TB I ended up reactivating my Sprint account and picking up a Nexus S 4G to use since I'm 100% Google Voice. I really want to keep the TB so this allowed me to return the TB to 100% S-On stock tonight so that I can keep calling VZW over the next 30 days and try to get this figured out! If they can get it figured out and fixed within that time then I'll return the Nexus S 4G, and if not then I'll have plenty of support calls on record to get out of my VZW contract.
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Well my TB got the new OTA on Thursday morning and it hasn't really helped at all with the voice quality issues. I called my VZW work cell phone from the TB and left myself 3 voice mail messages, 1 of which was OK, 1 was kind of bad and the other one I could barely even understand what I was saying. Haha, and on top of that my 3G icon is dropping out a lot again and I've had multiple random reboots.

I called VZW again after the store was absolutely no help whatsoever again this afternoon and this time they bumped me up and they're putting in a trouble ticket to check my provisioning and towers in my area and will call me back on Sunday or Monday.

One other thing that I've noticed with both my original and replacement TB is that my signal is far worse than my Droid Pro for work. I don't just mean a little but a lot! Places my Droid Pro will have 2 signal bars my TB will have no signal bars and the dreaded little "x" on top of them, so it's not just a difference in the signal displays it's actually far lower db. When I get back home I'm going to try putting my stock battery and cover back on (I've always used the extended) in case it's something as stupid as a bad antenna in the battery cover since on the TB that's where it's located! :eek: Haha, I would die if it was actually something that crazy but it can't hurt to rule it out!
[Thunderbolt General] kwiggington:
My first tbolt had sound issues the speaker was muffled and rattely even when kickstand out and there was a huge scratch under the screen
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Just a quick update:

No luck on the battery cover swap. Called my work phone again 5 times and I can barely understand 3 of the messages. It's weird to hear the issue firsthand! I'll be sitting in my quiet apartment when I call my work phone and leave a voicemail but when I listen to the message it sounds like I was calling from inside a wind tunnel and my voice is really distorted but in a digital-sounding way. I can hear that I was talking but can't understand a thing. No callback from VZW tech support yet either.
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
Well vzw is sending her a new phone, so hopefully that fixed her problem.
[Thunderbolt General] droid fetish:
I to have had this problem, however most times I can nail it down to a certain geographic area, also I have previously had this problem on my droid x. after much complaining to Verizon, they opened a trouble ticket for that area and when they contacted me back, they told me the problem was with the tower and it would be fixed when 4G turns on in my area (late summer). I dont think replacing your phone 10 times will cure it, Old towers+new phone= bad service! just my 2 cents
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
I spoke with VZW tonight and they didn't find anything wrong on their end so they're sending me yet another TB. Not sure what to do if that one doesn't work either? Might have to root again and try the GB leak with the new radios...
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
Well she got her replacement phone yesterday and so far all is well.
[Thunderbolt General] PorscheGuy:
Ah, good to hear! Unfortunately mine probably won't be here until Monday or Tuesday but at least I have hope!

i have installed miui a2sd+ edition... i have created a 512mb ext partition... i still have low storage issue... but i still have a lot of space available on my 512mb partition... (only 100mb is used up) and internal storage i have only 20mb left... why aren't the apps stored fully on the ext partition?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghepard:
u have to flash the rom after u create ext3 partition
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
yup already flashed the rom.... still it used 100mb out of 512mb of ext partition but i have only 20mb internal space available.. why aren't all internal memory moved to ext partition?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
There is plenty of information about what a2sd+ is and does. Try searching!

If you need more space search fire data2sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
ok thx... so basically what i am reading is that a2sd+ is mostly like the move to sdcard feature of froyo and gingerbread...? 512nb is way too much if i understand correctly

okie i installed data2ext version of miui!! it's great!! i now have a true 1gb internal storage!!! :)
[HD7 General] stickman1000000:
i bought a htc hd7 in january this year from a tech mall in hong kong. im now in perth australia and the hd7 is not available here yet.

anyway the phone was great right up until one of my friends dropped/threw my phone into the ground with a decent amount of force. at first i was happy to see that there was no damge to the phone on the outside, the screen wasnt cracked and the casing was fine. the touch screen still worked fine but now there are these lines everywhere. all over the screen. on the right side, there is a strip of just black. im assuming that bit of the screen is completely dead. it gets rid of the last number and continues like that all down the screen. there is also a ugly shade of grey that has the shape of a backwards "l" around the bottom right corner. the only way i can use my phone without these lines is if i set the theme to white, but even then it is extremely dull and greyish. when the theme is on black, everything that is coloured white, such as text or images sends the lines all the way down the screen, perfectly aligned with the white text or image all the way down the screen.

im a little unsure if this is the screen or something more internal. most importantly how/where can i get this fixed?

thanks

You need a new LCD, search Ebay for one & google for an instruction video.

LCD Replacement on Ebay for $50.00.

Tool Kit Needed to Replace LCD on Ebay for $2.00.

Can't find a Video, but here's a thread with info on how to replace the screen
[HD7 General] stickman1000000:
do you think if i bought the parts and took it to a phone repair shop they would fix it?
[HD7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I would call the repair place first to see if they'd use the parts you supply & if it'd be any cheaper than just having them use their parts.

I'd say try to find someone in your area who has done screen replacements before who do it for you for a small fee. I've done a few of them, it's not that hard. I've replaced them on the HTC Kaiser & Excalibur. The HD7 should be easier to do as it doesn't have a keyboard.

NOTE: This will void your warranty, so you may want to upgrade the SD Card at the same time if you want 32GB of storage.
[HD7 General] stickman1000000:
well if my phone is covered by warranty then wouldnt htc replace it?
[HD7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No, warranty doesn't cover damage caused by the user or this case, user's friend. You'd have to of paid for the accidental damage insurance for them to replace it.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Acoole:
Hey there,

Probably a stupid question but when I add a pattern lock to my phone I lose the default lock screen.

When pressing the unlock button:

Without pattern lock - there are two sliders, unlock and sound on/off

With pattern lock - it goes straight the enter pattern thing.

I want to have a pattern, but also have the sliders, how can I do this?

Cheers!

[Xperia Arc General] gagafafa:
Hello guys,

I 'm experiencing the problem as I cant bring my ARC to flash mode,

Can some body share the experience to me?

I tried [return + USB] and [Menu + USB], both fail for flash mode.

Kindly to share the procedure for unlocking the simlock in arc :)
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Is your device sim-unlocked?

To get into flash mode, you turn off the phone and after 5 second press and hold the back button(far left button) and then plug the usb into the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] gagafafa:
it is not work for me, my led is still green and my flashtool cannot find it. :(

You didn't say if you are sim-unlocked or locked. have you unlocked the phone yet?

[Xperia Arc General] Imdking:
I had a similar problem when I was trying to flash my x10a to get rid of the AT&T crapware and outdated 1.6. Here is my experience with the x10a last year when I got it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10198269#post10198269

The issue had something to do with the version of windows I was running, and the drivers on SEUS not being compatible. The flashtool could never find it, and the phone would get out of flashmode in 10 seconds, and actually turn on.

I ended up using the non graphic flashtool as the alternative option, and it solved my problem. I don't know if you have that option for the Xperia Arc, but I suggest you look into that. Hope you find a solution to your problem. Good luck.

I'd like to just understand more about all of the topics. Not to be a dev, but just to be able to communicate better on this forum about it. Like I understand digitals VMS os but always hated to work with unix, so I learned very little about it.. What is scripting ? what is meant by modding, etc.:confused:

Thanks Kevin, Ted O.

Also the lessons won't start until next week sometime because I wan to gather a group of students first. Right now I have a small class of 8 people. I'm only starting next week so that I can make a plan on where I'm going to start teaching you and the process I'm going to go about teaching you more (what should I teach you after what I previously taught you so that the lessons flow together). but I'm sure I can teach you all enough so that you all can start doing something for xda too :D

[General Questions and Answers] niXXoz:
If you flash 2.1 RUU and then install z4root, you can get temp root. Isn't it then possible to flash CWM, with Rom Manager, while you are rooted, so you can flash a custom rom and then achieve full root?

I know it is most likely not possible, but probably worth a try;)
[Blade General] shad0wboss:
I started this thread because i just bought my device and first thing i did was to flash cyanogenmod 7 but now i'm starting to think that the problems i'm having, is it only me who's having these problems. What i found is that by hardware acceleration enabled by default in cyanogemod, there are graphics glitches and texture missing when playing open world games such as miami vindication. I chosen this game because it's an open world game and requires lots of texture rendering (aka GPU stress) but when i disabled hardware acceleration using an app called blade buddy, the game ran fine BUT the UI started to lag like crap.

So i started this thread to share my problems with other if others are having similar problem, do report please. Also if you play miami vindication specially, i would like to know if it runs fine.

Screenshots comming soon !

Hi,

Has anyone experienced this problem and knows how to fix this?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] productofusa:
The glass, little circle thingy on the back cover of my n1 has been shattered for awhile and it really hasn't seemed to make much of a difference in the quality of the photographs, not sure how that works but YMMV.

If somehow the lens on your phone got broken you may be out of luck, perhaps ebay parts phone or something?
[Nexus One General] hitmarkv:
Hi all,

I've bought a Nexus One from a friend that went to US a while ago (I live in Brazil). My N1 was exhibiting an overheating & reboot issue whenever I used the 3g connection.

2 weeks ago, just after a phone call, it rebooted and did not come back. I took the battery out for the night, but still did not come back.

The bootloader is unlocked, but I was using stock gingerbread. I can get into fastboot, but not recovery. I tried the PASSIMG method a couple of times, and tough the flashing did succeed, the phone keeps stuck at the X logo.

The last radio flash was 5.08, when ginger came. Does this means my device is bricked? To make matters worse, it seems I'm out of warranty...any of you guys have any clue to help me? Or is it all lost and I should get a new phone??

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
If you're booting - you're not bricked. Brick = NOTHING on the phone, no reaction whatsoever to anything, won't turn on.

Anyway, since you have your bootloader unlocked - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, and then try to boot into recovery, see if it works. Read the Wiki to help yourself.
[Nexus One General] hitmarkv:
Hi Jack, thx for the reply!

I already tried that; the flash succeeds, but I cannot get into recovery. If I try to reboot into recovery, it still gets stuck at the X logo.

I understand that brick == nothing at all; but I suspecting that the GSM modem is history. I was already having rebooting problems with it, and now it seems that it's dead and the phone will not boot because of it. Does this makes sense?
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Have you tried "fastboot boot recovery.img"?
[Nexus One General] hitmarkv:
Just tried it, the phone reboots, but vibrates 7 times and does not boot, still in the X logo...
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
7 vibrations - means you have some HW problem, and the phone won't boot. Yes, I guess that even though you're not bricked, the phone isn't usable and needs to be fixed/replaced. Sorry.
