thanks for the reply mate - though the Evos only have 500mb - 1gb of internal storage.

and a lot of apps i use (widgets and home screen) cant be installed on the SD card.

cheers.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma777:
Short Version: Phone worked, Sat for a month, doesnt get past cyanogen screen goes into protect mode.

Okay i bought an evo that had the screen replaced on it. The guy obviously didnt know what he was doing. So I dropped it one day and the digizer ripped off.( the flex cable ripped, The digitizer wasnt stuck down) So a month later, i finally got around to buying a brand new housing for the entire thing. I took the mobo out and put it in the new housing. It worked for about 5 minutes then gets stuck in a boot loop. I had it happen once, before i got the new housing, It took me 5 minutes to get it to work again. The phone would shut off randomly sometimes.

It worked fine before the screen broke off no major problems would shut itself off every 2 or 3 days. The board has sat in a bag on my table for a month and now it wont work.

Now i cant even get the phone to stay on at all. The cyanogen screen shows up it loads and then shuts right off (i have recovery) I have tried different kernels,roms, and radios. The phone goes into protect mode now. Can I hit with a heat gun and reflow the cpu like a ps3 or xbox? Is there anyway i can remove all hardware failure protection?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RileyGrant:
You have any insurance? Depending on how your morals are you could try to make a warranty claim on it (although after todays announcement I might feel bad considering theyre trying to help us out). Otherwise I would try flashing an RUU and if that doesnt work take whatever means necessary, although Im not sure why your mobo would be damaged after a month, have you tried cleaning it and blowing on it to get all the dust out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
My recommendation is to make sure you stretch first, then when you do throw the phone through the wall, that you make sure it's a wall that's going to be easy to repair.

Reading your post it looks like you bought a phone that was practically guaranteed to have problems.

You bought the phone equivalent of a lemon, so expect the same amount of effort into keeping this thing alive as if you were to buy a car lemon.

short of running an ruu or smashing it and saying you 20lb sledge fell from 20 feet and landed on it lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnathan9:
I've never looked into something that says "protect mode" for an EVO.

However, most electronic can do this if the thing is going to over-volt. If you think about car amplifiers, they do the same thing and go into protection mode which means that capacitor or something much more is bad.

I agree with the other guy and that you threw yourself into a bad deal from the start so it's as if you're going to be fixing something that's already inherited potential issues.

Have you considered that the replacement screen may be the culprit? Aside from the potential drop damage that could have broken something on the logic board, the another possibility is that the hardware you just installed could be defective and causing the EVO to do this protect mode.

In any event, the best solution would now be to work with a company to get a diagnosis of the problem. If you get a diagnosis only, you can buy your own parts and do it yourself if you're like a McGyver type-a-guy.

Find a credible cell phone repair shop and just get an diagnosis first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I'm curious - if you had no working handset at the moment, had to pay full price for a handset, and didn't want to buy who potentially might be someone else's trash off Ebay or Craigslist, would you pay $265 for a BRAND NEW Nexus One ?

I had one when they first came out, and then moved up to newer and "better" handsets, either brand new or used....

My latest, the G2, which was bought off Craigslist, fried after 2 weeks of having it. I've already talked to HTC, but then say I'm looking at being without a phone for 2-3 weeks before a replacement will arrive.

So, knowing everything that is out right now, and everything that is coming, would you pay $265 for a brand new Nexus One , or shell out $500+ for a "current" or soon to be released handset?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Nexus......other than the evolution 3d or sgs2 or even maybe iPhone 5.

Edit: actually....I will by the nexus. It get quick updates plus is very hackable. Also I will be saving.up for the nexus 3!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just bought my wife a G2 to replace her (submerged) MT4G.

I would've preferred to get her a Nexus (still like the N1 better than both of those). The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want her to have the same phone as me - that's one of the advantages of not having a phone from the fruit company...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Without hesitation! I can't see what any new device has to offer that i don't have already.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
Biggest benefit I can see of the newer devices is FFC , more RAM, and Dual-Core CPUs...

I've been thinking about it though - other than a larger screen, the N1 did everything I wanted it to do. Only complaint I had was when I held the phone to my face with my right shoulder, because the 2nd mic on the back was covered by my shoulder, everyone I talked to said I sounded really muffled.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
its a pretty hard deal to pass up getting a new nexus one at 250 dollars. you cant go wrong if you do get it. newer phones like the galaxy s2 have better gaming. but really i'd get the n1 again today if i had to.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperweight:
I have come from the ERIS and as far as kernels go the Incredible has a lot more to offer. This leaves me confused as to which would be the best. I currently and running latest nightly of cm7(smooth) and 2.6.38.6-Tiamat v4.03 with chad0989's voltage tweak download. Nothing to complain about really but with all the undervolting and voltage tweaking and updated drivers etc i get kinda lost in the mix.

My question is what do most of you prefer for a kernel setup that provides you with the most stable experience for the way you use your phone?

If this helps I like my phone to be responsive - and if batt life suffers a bit then thats not a big of a deal. I use my phone to stream googles beta music cloud thing, watch some netfilx, play some angry birds, make some calls and a few texts. Nothing overwhelming.

Thanks for all your help!:)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmbtimmyb21:
For me, chad's latest incredikernel beta 7 has been super smooth with stellar battery life. Never had great results with Tiamat on my Dinc. I just keep it at the regular voltages and it works great :cool:

invisiblek is very reliable too, just a modified version of slayher's stock CM kernel

FLASH away!!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Yes, this would be better suited for q and a but no reason to be mean about it, it'll get moved. Seems like half the threads in development don't even have DL links up, they're just for roms "coming soon".

As for kernels, I stick with incredikernel and invisiblek. Tiamat gave me some reboots but when I could get it to work it seemed nice.
[Vibrant General] Satinder Krishan:
Hi All,

Can anyone help me in getting the issue resolved that I am facing.

Few days back all of a sudden my PC stopped detecting my Phone (Samsung Vibrant). I thought it might be an issue with my PC so I tried to connect the phone storage on some other PC, but the result are still the same.

I am also not getting any pop up notification on my phone to "Mount".

I can download anything to my phone via direct internet browsing but cannot transfer or upgrade my phone via my PC.

I checked all the setting and also restored my phone to Factory Default but still the issue persist.

Pleeeeeease guys can someone pleeeeease help!!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] djluis48:
Sorry to say this, but seems like a hardware problem. Did you tried with a different cable? Try Different port on the PC? What happens if you plug the phone to a wall charger?

Is the phone still on warranty? You can send it back to Tmo and get a "new" one.
[Vibrant General] viralbug:
Try a new cable.
[Vibrant General] Satinder Krishan:
Yes I tried different cable and also tried different port of PC but nothing happens. Also the other functions works as normal.

The phone charges when I connect to my wallcharger or PC. I often get a messag from my PC that the harware is detected but is not properly installed.

Any clues, also I cannot send it to TMO because I am not in states right now and TMO does not works here.

will flashing the ROM work?????
[Vibrant General] jnorth89:
This has happened to me before. What usually works is to reboot the computer and then connect your phone to it. Wait for the connection error message. Then go into ur device manager and find the "unknown" USB device. Make sure u both uninstall and delete the "unknown" device. Unplug the phone. Reboot the computer again. And once its finished booting up plug connect your phone again.

Always works for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I'm sure the Evo 3d will be every bit as capable as the Tegra 2 devices. But nvidia has the developers courted in a big way. I'm not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy the 10 or so on my Evo 4g. I'd have to say games on the Evo 4g are underwhelming. So I'm excited about the 3d having the chops for some serious games. But now I'm afraid that the qualcomm processor means it simply won't get the cool games with so many developers committed to Tegra 2. And some of these Tegra 2 games look pretty sweet.

With the rumor of a Tegra 2 device on Sprint, I question if it would be worth waiting for. What do y'all thing? Will qualcomm get the gaming love from developers? Will these cool Tegra games be ported to other capable dual core devices?

Fragmentation...:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I was just thinking about this earlier. WTF is nvidia thinking?

THAT is *actual* fragmentation that everyone is talking about. That's not a difference of a simple version number that can be upgraded....things for download in the market that WILL NOT WORK on 90% of all phones? That's terrible. That's selfish. That will. not. help.

Even if they own 90% of the market its still wrong. LEss obvious, but wrong just the same. I hope nvidia fails and goes out of business for that maneuver. There is nothing keeping the game from running on non tegra² GPU's....sure, it probably won't run great....that's fine....but to have it look for a vendorID string and say 'sorry' just cuz you bought the wrong brand? That's insulting. Go ahead, tear the android market in 2 pieces.

...I think they'll fail on that front. What scumbags. Take something that is a legitmate but fringe concern (fragmentation) and turn it into a legitmate and very very real (market leading?) issue.

I'm not a gamer, but, it will suck that there are games I can't play--at any performance level--cuz I'm not wearing the right brand sneakers...or whatever.

fnck nvidia. That's all marketing and branding, lets keep it a strictly performance based game with standards as the rules...
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
chainfire3d is an app that is currently allowing tegra zone on most 1ghz devices. I'm not worried about the Evo 3D getting games because we can run anything the tegra 2 devices can AND there are 3D games coming very soon (3DS ports). :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
I feel this tatic of terga exclusive games will either fail by the end of the year or most high end phones on the next generation will have a terga processor including whatever HTCs next line will be. Personally I'm skeptical that this will take off. They do seem to have a developer following and if I was more of a gamer I couldn't see buying a non terga phone. SO maybe I'm wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
@daneurysm

Exactly! Forget Froyo vs. GB. This is the fragmentation that really sucks for consumers.

@sprinttouch666

chainfire3d looks pretty sweet. hadn't seen that before. I won't even bother loading that on my Evo cause I'm sure it'll choke with a beefy game. But it looks like we'll have to be quick to get root and S-off for the 3d to see what this app can do for it. But 3ds ports may be quite a job since they'd have to code out the DS part. Not sure how many game devs would bother for 2 or 3 3d capable phones in the whole market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
Check your specs fellas, qualcomm's processors blow the Tegra 2 out of the water... Tegra has dual 1ghz synced cores, Qualcomm has dual 1.2ghz asynchronous cores. Qualcomm's chips also feature the Adreno GPU which is faster and more efficient than the Tegra 2's minimalist GPU. Do some Googling to confirm then rest assured, the EVO 3D IS the droid you're looking for *waves hand like Obi Wan*
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
So the EVO 3d's chip outperforms these Tegra chips? I thought they were only releasing it for the Tegra chips because they might have been more powerful. Good to know if this isn't the case.

Now what is in the GS2 as I saw a benchmark video and it blew the Sensation out of the water? I know those benchmarks aren't everyhing but will the SG2 be that much more powerful then the Evo 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I think tegra2 is possibly the slowest of the dual core bunch. BUT when games are coded specifically for that chip, will it matter that qualcomm's chip is better? What good is all that power if all the high quality games only run on tegra?

And you can't blame devs for coding to the most popular chip out for android. That chip is in phones, tabs, and more
[HTC EVO 3D] peachpuff:
Don't forget to blame the developers too, nvidia drives a dump truck full of money to their front porch and says "make this game work only on tegra2 devices".
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
The EVO 3D isn't a droid. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
That's a matter of interpretation. Anything running android is considered a 'droid' phone by most people. Then there are a few purists that believe only the phones made by motorola with Droid in there name can be considered 'droid'.

Whatever.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
meh droid has always been a abbreviation for android, in all reality an android phone named droid is silly
[HTC EVO 3D] AdamHart612:
I don't think I heard a single person refer to Android as "droid" prior to Verizon's marketing campaign...Droid is Verizon's branding, not Moto's or Samsung's or anyone else's...

I wouldn't be picky if it wasn't for the fact that "DROID" is so obvious on all Droid products. You definitely know if your phone is a droid and you definitely know if it isn't.

Benchmarks I've seen all put Exynos/Tegra/MSM8x60 slightly behind the new TI OMAP4. No matter what you choose it's going to be ridiculous. At the level these phones are at you cant go wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Im pretty sure you'll still be able to play the games if you want to but they'll have a version special made for the tegra 2. It wouldn't surprise me if qualcomm started doing something similar but I'm not going to be buying a game that is nerfed even though my phone can handle it just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
Everybody's bringing up good (and funny) points, in the long run, once dual core processors are the norm, I think we'll see these "processor specific" games go the way of the dodo
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
It reminds me of 3D graphics cards in the late 90's. You had to get a game made for your 3Dfx card to get 3D...or whatever mfgr....but that was the state of the software at the time, we lacked a common API, directX/directdraw was a mere infant at the time and Direct3D was only in beta testing...progress in progress.

Now they are trying to intentionally revert to this horrible horrible situation in the name of branding. They want to enslave you to a market for just their processors and/or supported games.....but it's not an API problem, its a vendorID string problem--and that's just effed up.
[HTC EVO 3D] scores87:
So in conclusion we need google to make something like directx???

riptide looks AWESOMEEEE to bad I will not be buying a tegra phone..... all of them suck (atrix has pentile display and blur, optimus 2x has lots of problems, droid x2 same as atrix)
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
No, the companies involved need to just not do this. There are already APIs to cover this.

Game developers are getting bribed, ahem, "courted" to support this chipset. The actual performance difference is likely negligible to keep it compatible all around. Even if it isn't negligible so long as it runs on everything android so be it--they just have a better graphics chip. Competition drives innovation.

But if they are just making it suck on non tegra2 devices by pulling the deviceID string, well, that's just disgusting.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I think it's more a matter of the chip makers purposely trying to fragment, when programming it's always faster to write native code then use APIs (as talking directly to the hardware instead of going through android) but different chip makers are using different commands and incorporating their own customized features directly into the chips.

I would be surprised if google doesn't put their foot down and stop this sooner or later.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Hey everyone. I wanted to cleanup this post a bit in order to make a pretty big announcement. Here is an expcert from my blog post late last night. The whole post can be read here.

"Tonight, I so very pleased to announce that Intellijoy will be donating FULL versions of ALL their children’s apps to Android4Autism to be distributed on all the devices that we will be putting into the hands of Autistic children from around the US. I’m very excited about this because I truly believe this WILL make a difference in the lives of many Autistic children and their families. I don’t make it a habit of promoting companies on this blog because that’s not the purpose of Lost and Tired. However, Intellijoy is a company that is working to help our children learn through engaging and entertaining apps. My children benefit from the use of these applications and I know many more could as well. As special needs parents and members of the Autism community we should support companies like, Intellijoy, as they are providing low cost software that can turn your Android powered smartphone into a learning tool for your child.

So on behalf of Android4Autism and lostandtired.com, I want to THANK Intellijoy for helping to improve the lives our Autistic children and their families. If you have an Android powered smart phone and I KNOW many of you do, check out these apps on the Market. Help spread the word that these apps and others like it can be found on the Android Market. As a community we need to support the companies that are providing resources for our kids….. More to come soon…"

What do you guys think. I was polling today on twitter for advice. I really like the name but can't decide between "Android 4 Autism" or Android for Autism". For url purposes android4autism.com looks better but written out, "Android for Autism" may look better. Using "for" looks more professional but I'm catering to kids and special needs families so using "4" may be a bit more casual and kid friendly.

What do you guys think?

"Android 4 Autism" or "Android for Autism"

I want to put some feelers out in the Autism community to help identify needy families.

As I said I just wanted to say something now so that if and when you guys upgrade you have knowledge of what I'm doing so if you wanted to donate your device you could and if not that's cool to. Maybe you could just help spread the word. :)
