[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
I posted this in another thread but essentially Qualcomm tends to deliver chips that look great on paper but are **** in reality and HTC's build quality leaves something to be desired. Some of my best devices have indeed been HTC devices - however, I have never had a single HTC device last as long as my Captivate did and HTC cuts corners too much for my liking. The Evo is a perfect example. Two different types of display panels, one of them with a decidedly yellow tint; the artificial bottlecap on framerate that was imposed and the piss-poor decision to use very thin Gorilla Glass which made the device very prone to instant breakage if dropped. My Captivate? I threw it across the room in a rage and it didn't even dent it. I dropped it face-first on concrete I don't know how many times and only got scratches.

Don't even get me started on battery life, shoddy driver history, and the outright lies about storage space that HTC makes. I bought an Inspire expecting to get 4GB of internal NAND - only to find out that it does indeed have 4GB of NAND but user accessible NAND was only 2GB because they formatted it for speed instead of capacity. HTC is the only manufacturer that has done this as far as I've seen and it does not give me any faith in them. Too many lies, cut corners, and replaced devices for my taste. My MT4G out of the box was the worst phone I've ever had. Dead pixels, dead headphone jack, factory reset itself twice while it was running STOCK, my menu button had to be pressed extremely hard to get it to work, etc.

The Inspire had a worse battery than the Evo did but other than that seemed to be the highest quality HTC device I'd seen other than reception and the NAND misrepresentation. The screen sensitivity was almost too much and the "capacitive matrix" was much tighter than the one on my other LCD devices. Oh and the ear piece volume is always a nightmare with HTC devices.

I'll give you dev support but with nVidia, Marvell, and Freescale joining the mobile fight and Intel also promising to jump in as well, I see some big shifts in power coming to the mobile world. Software development behind the Tegra has really taken off and I don't think I've ever seen HTC release a device that didn't have a Qualcomm MSM after they dropped the Intel (now Marvell) PXA chip.

If thats the case just wait for the Hercules. Or is that to much phone for you?:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
actually its qHD the sensation will be pretty similar to the SGS2 from the specs ive been reading. 1.2 dual core, qHD (one step below the retinal screen on the iphone 4).... the HTC screen to me makes up for the slight differences. plus Touchwiz isn't my favorite after my Vibrant experience. Both will be good though.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
I can't seem to get a ROM to install on my motodroid - I have the latest ROM Manager and the ClockworkMod recovery app flashed but every time I try to install a ROM (either downloaded w/ ROM Manager or via a file saved to the SD vai the USB cable) I get the attached alert display. Alt+Ctrl+Del reboots me back to the starting point...

What's wrong?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
Having the same problem!

Having the same problem and getting the same screen after reboot.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
i dnt think rom manager works on milestone/droid .. AOR is recommended ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
ROM Manager works on Droid, but not on Milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
?

I have a Droid, i am still having the same problem with rom manager. I used superoneclick to root, I have the latest busybox update, and superuser.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I don't know if this works like it does on Milestone, but have you tried holding the camera button+volume up?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
Try 4.....

Tried holding those no good. would like to get gingerbread on it soon. thks for the help so far.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
Think I did push those button soon enough. 5th try it is installing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
So that key combo worked?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
well.......

It brick the phone but i was able to recover from it. How can I get the apps on my sd card back on my phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
seems like holding 'x' work to get me back from brick
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashersgate:
I was able too restore back to the rpm i was using before i started with a backup in rom manager......awsome so now i can play without worry,,,,,, thanks so much!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
More on the problem

So, I consistently get the screen in the original post if I try to select the option presented after the download is complete to automatically boot to recovery and install the ROM - but if I install from a .zip while already in ClockworkMod, I am successful in installing a ROM. The problem seems to come with doing an over-the-air download in ROM Manager then attempting to transition to ClockworkMod to do the install. Alt-Ctrl-Del while on the screen displayed in the original post reboots and gets me back to my existing ROM...

It seems like something is not working as it should be, but it seems I have a way to make things work... :)

Tom
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
"Reboot into Recovery" also fails

I just tried to "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager and that also failed (gave me the dead screen shown on the original post)... :(

Booting while holding x gets me into ClockworkMod successfully. I currently have ClockworkMod version 3.1.0.2 installed (it has given me the most success so far).

Any suggestions?

Tom
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
It seems I was wrong - I'm not currently able to boot into recovery using the x button during boot...

Tom
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
Getting better

I flashed back to the "current" ClockworkMod - 2.5.0.1 - and now I can "Reboot into Recovery"...:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
Maybe not better...

Errr My device seems flaky - I tried to install a ROM and the transition to ClockworkMod did not work again... Isn't this supposed to "Just work"?:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tadiv:
More success yesterday

Once I got Pete's Gingerbread ROM loaded/installed (via .zip file) my problems getting to ClockworkMod and trying new ROMs seem to have cleaned up.

After performing the "e-mail connect" (to do that I had to turn off Droidwall) I was successful in downloading directly to the phone and flashing a new ROM.

Good luck all...

[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Did you set it up to drop the image quality for that specific app (or drop the quality in the global settings)? Not doubting your knowledge but we all do things like that at times:rolleyes:

Anyway, as far as running and not causing any fc's that I've seen over the past 24 hours the drivers are stable. As far as working, I guess we'll just have to do some more testing.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaph:
Hi Guys

I recently got a HTC Desire(second hand) and it seems to struggle to boot(both power on & reboot) unless I run it in safemode or fastboot(which makes me think it is an issue with the stock ROM). I have tried rooting it so i can flash recovery, I've tried updating ROM Upgrade Utility and via gold card/zip method but because all of these require the phone to reboot the problem still persists.

Is there any possible way I can make it always boot in safe mode?

I wasn't sure how common issue is so I figured I'd ask incase there was something I haven't tried.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Olaph

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
I ordered a tablet off of eBay. It already has VEGAn-TAB 2.2

batterie will not charge pass 96%.

Also the internal drive is 1.84gb and it's not showing up as 16gb

Well I can't figure out what the hell is going on. Do i need to install a another rom? Or is something going on with a batterie?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaco05:
The battery level issue is common. Please do a forum search and you will find answers. And the 16 GB is the sdcard1 capacity, not the internal drive one.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
The battery not saying it's charging past 96% is a common issue. It is in fact charging to 100%, but it's not registering as such. Charge the battery until the light turns green, then reboot into clockworkmod recovery and wipe the battery stats; this should fix that issue.

The internal 1.84gb (labelled as /data) is just a small partition of the 16gb of total internal storage. The rest of the internal 16gb is there as /sdcard. /sdcard2 is for the external microsd card, if you have one.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
Tablet will not boot now after i wipe the battery stats lol. It's coming up with Magic Value Mismatch on the boot screen. I do know some about clockwork because I use it on my Nook color that I had to root. So I just spent $260 on the tablet that I have to fix or something is going on with it .

I did a search , I'm guessing I will need to NVFlash
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
Yeah, NVFlash should fix it; I don't know if there's an easier way to get it working again. One question, how did you wipe the battery stats without using clockworkmod? That could've caused the problem. I've wiped the battery stats through CWM several times on several different ROMs (including VEGAn TAB 5.1.1) and never had any problems. If you can still get into CWM, it might be worth wiping the battery stats from there and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, a full data wipe/factory reset in CWM might be worth a shot.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
I meant to say I did use clockwork to reset the batterie stats. a but I have a problem now after installing NVFlash installed good,

but every time I installed clockwork there's no options to install rom I've tried doing it a couple times.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
I figured out how to get clockwork working but the batterie is still having issue.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
The option is under "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". If you don't see that, are you sure you installed the correct version of CWM? Everything you need (including the only version of CWM that works well on the gtab) can be found in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245.

I'd say try wiping the battery stats, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen as happened the first time you tried that.

Here's what I found in another forum from member xmr405o:

"I didn't reset my battery stats. I let the battery drain until it shut off by itself, then plugged my gtab until green fully charged light and then that's when I turned it on...then boom 100% and my battery indicator was more accurate."
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
I have tried the reset couple times already. It also was messing up in the stock version. Everything is running correctly. Except batterie stats
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenv12:
CWM is running right. I have VEGAn GE back on it. But the battery stats are still messed up. I am draining the battery .
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedlogan42:
You're using the wrong version of CWM. The Gtablet has issues with all newer versions; it's something about the filesystem. Look for the 0.8 version posted on the forums here, the one modified by Bekkit (assuming you have a 1.1 bootloader).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The battery only going to 96% (or to 104% for some people) is a hardware problem. Wiping battery stats is not going to fix things.

I've tried out the other methods that the people on the board have suggested, and I can say that they a) either don't work or b) they work unreliably.

I have a small post on the kernel battery driver implementation which goes into some of the reasons why this is a hardware problem, here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13542018&postcount=44
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
Interesting. Good to know. I've tried wiping the battery stats, running the tablet until it's dead, then charging it until the green light comes on to fix this problem and it has worked, but it's true that it works unreliably (i.e. it works sometimes, but not always or it works at first, but then reverts to not charging past 96%). I assumed the problem had to do with the battery not being calibrated; I didn't realize that the relative state of charge readings from the hardware were inherently so imprecise.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
While it may not be completely accurate, I was just trying to give a quick simple explanation to the OP that the full 16gb of his internal storage was there and why he thought there was only 1.84gb.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No problem. But, you should correct your first reply to the OP. The 1.84 GB partition on the internal microSD card is /data, and not /sdcard. The rest of the disk space on that SD card is what's actually mounted under /sdcard.

The /data is there for a reason. When you install 3rd party apps, the .apks and their required files are (usually, if you haven't directed otherwise) stored in /data ("On the phone", so to speak). When you "move to SD card" the .apks get transferred to /sdcard.

On phones, /data is also on the NAND flash chip, which has a limited size. This is why you have scripts like apps2sd on phones which move apps from /data and into a SD card partition. Since our /data is already on a SD card, and it is ~2GB in size, we don't need hacks like that.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
Oh sorry, you're absolutely right. I'll change that.

My wife is trying to load some diet apps on her A7, but we're running into a really strange bug... they ask you to verify your age, but then they won't let you change your birth year to anything lower than 2010! If you try to continue, it says that you must be 18 to use the app!

I went through and installed all the updates available and put the market back on and everything, but it's still doing the same thing. This happens on several apps and there is nothing in the comments that indicates it's happening to other users. Maybe it's an A7 thing???

[HTC EVO 3D] cmstlist:
I went to the HTC event in Vancouver this week and I noticed an employee was holding an HTC phone with a dual camera on the back. I asked her what it was, and I got a VERY BRIEF view of a global GSM version of the EVO 3D and saw the glasses-free 3D effect. There was no Sprint or other carrier logo on it, and there was a numeric tag on the phone, and she confirmed it's the global version. She told me she wasn't allowed to show me anything else.

But there we go. Exciting isn't it? :D

No its european
[HTC EVO 3D] cmstlist:
Yeah she gave me no indication as to whether a Canadian release was likely, but typically we see versions of European HTC phones arriving here a few months later on Telus or Bell. It usually alternates.

Bell just got the Incredible S and soon Wildfire S. Telus is rumored to get the Flyer. My guess is, Telus gets the Evo 3D if Canada gets it at all. Maybe rebranded as the Desire 3D, since they got the original Desire and the HD. Bell got the Desire Z and the HD7 though.

Or if Bell gets the E3D, then Telus will get an 850/1900 version of the Sensation as a consolation prize.

And I think it's pretty safe to say Rogers won't get any of the above. Their former relationship with HTC appears to be severely broken.
