No i didnt add any encryption apps

I plugged it into windows, it displayed the "scan for errors" window, i did that, and all the files are found. Ill see if i can get away with not formatting it. I have tried other SD cards and they work (8GB though)

I got this SD card from clove. It is interesting because their website only has SANDISK 32GB micros (www.clove.co.uk/memory), but i got a KINGSTON and was charged the SANDISK price.

After the last boot, i went to task manager, and the only app that has run (at boot) is EncryptApp, cant see information online about what that does either.
[Galaxy S II General] aceclaw:
Okay, I plugged it back into windows, and did a full check and repair, took about 30 minutes and now it works again. Seems odd that the card worked for 3 weeks, with heavy usage and dies just with the new firmware. Like it didn't unmount properly or something.

i just picked up an evo a week ago and it came with 0003, i know 0004 exists, is one better than the other? i know it has to do with the screens or something
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
It actually doesn't have anything to do with the screens; whether you get an epson or a novatec seems to be as random as ever regardless of your hardware version. If I recall correctly, hardware 004 has a slightly different camera (I can't recall if it's considered better or worse than the others) and I think some minor changes in the height of the power button. Presumably also some other minor internal revisions.

Can't find Hardware Version

Hello!

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if there was an alternate way of determining my hardware version. The first field under "About Phone" is Status, and I don't see Hardware Version anywhere. I'm running Gingerbread Evo Deck 1.3.

ok i was running com rom 1.2 then decided to try out the evil rom. so i did what you do normally and wiped everything. then when i flashed the evil rom everything force closed and would not save any setting so i went to re-wipe and noticed that now i'm unable to wipe datadata.

i'm pretty sure thats the problem so i've odined back to a stock ed01 which was suppossed to wipe all data and i wiped my sd card also then went to start all over and bam same crap happening. i also odined a new cwm and same crap again any help would be great cause i'm now lost

The second link is if you are running a non-voodoo kernel. Since you were using CR I'm assuming you were on voodoo and therefore you need to flash the first package. This is better than wiping.

I did adb reboot bootloader and it goes into starting fastboot.

Then i do fastboot flash boot boot.img and says in CMD fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command.

So the ADB is working just not the fastboot command.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all,

many use the battery run time counter to determine how long the unit runs on one charge.

How accurate is that counter in your experience?

I have just measured run time with a stop watch (it was 6 hours 35 minutes from full to empty) - and the counter indicated 10 hours 23 minutes of run time.

Is that normal? Why would there be such a big difference between true run time and run time on the counter (the unit was switched off when not running)?

Thanks for any suggestions...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Update: it is definitely NOT accurate.

I was using my unit this morning (after fully charging over night) - and after I used it for about 15 minutes (counter was correct) I removed some apps and restarted.

After the restart the counter said 5 minutes use (at the same time my battery life was down to 91% - I literally could see the %'s go down one by one).

I suspect this is a software issue - but I have no idea what could cause it...

I am using Go launcher - is it possible that the launcher (plus its widgets) suck up a lot of power?

Thanks again for any thoughts
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
I know we have had similar threads in the past about how to show off the Vibrants screen, but I have not seen one for a little while so I figured I would try to start a new updated one.

So what do you use, app wise (besides Avatar movie), that really shows off the Vibrants GPU and screen?

I think Gun Bros is pretty good, at showing GPU, but the game itself has problems. Same goes for Guerrilla bob, great graphics, but game is not great.

I just had to re-flash odin so after reboot i downloaded titanium backup from the market and started a batch restore like i did when i first installed odin but this time it made me hit install and then done for each damn app and there were 100 apps!!! i tried some of the other batch restore operations but they did the same thing!!! last time when i first flash odin all i had to do was hit batch restore un-check the apps i didnt want and titanium automatically installed all my apps back. Is this something im doing wrong this time around or is this something new with titanium backup?

Htc has made numerous statements that it will review the bootloader policy but as mentioned in many text we all know that just spin, I say we boycott HTC and dont buy on launch day unless the lock is down

Dear sir, I see this is your first post and I welcome you to the site, but how many of these threads do we really need?
[HTC EVO 3D] Broded:
Unfortunately, even if this entire website were to buy a EVO 3D, it would not even make a dent in the amount of profits they will get on launch. Everyone wants a 3D phone, most people don't know about rooting phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] randy2:
im not new to the site been around for 6 years under three names i keep forgetting my old passwords and i dont have access to the old email on file but my post is for boycotting upon release date not just making a statement but rather not purchasing until a fix is present
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
HTC doesn't really give a flying **** about our *****ing. If all of us who were previously considering the Evo 3d don't buy it, HTC wouldn't care. We are the minority, the mainstream people who don't know what root means will continue to buy It regardless.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Htc better care, who do you think makes all of the apps that are the reason why ios and android are what they are today? If they're not smart enough to care today then they'll start caring a few months from now when all of the 3D apps are designed for the optimus and the E3D is irrelevant.

Theyre already one of the last out the gate with dual cores
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
That is correct. But who do the majority come to when deciding which phone to buy? The geeks. Imagine if engadget, phonedog, cnet, etc... were to give the EVO 3D bad reviews? Can you imagine what the comments will say in those articles? Even if we can't make a direct impact with our own sales, we influence the minds of many of those people that are not as tech savvy as us. My whole family has HTC phones cause of me. That will soon change. I am sure we can have a very powerful impact.

I for one have a job with PHONE SALES, and i am sure i am not the only one. What we think will influence the customer greatly.
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
Not true. We are the enthusiasts who shape consumer sentiment. This news has made it to all sorts of popular blogs recently. Even a friend of mine who rarely reads tech blogs stumbled across the news. My fiancee won't even think of buying it anymore obviously because I won't -- and I'll recommend other phones to her, my friends, and my family.

That's already ~10 devices for one pointless random person -- me. I know the effect isn't as dramatic for some others, but what we show off, what we brag about, what we get excited for and lust over... is highly contagious. The legendary HD2 didn't merely sell because of its "awesome features." It's still moderately (shockingly) popular today among enthusiasts and is happily sold and traded online -- because of the community.

Even if it's just a placebo effect for the masses (who won't ever know what "flashing" could possibly mean), placebo effect and public sentiment is one of the biggest influences the advertizing world has ever known.

Now the clincher -- many people besides the forum-goers here look to HTC as an alternative to Apple out of principle (or bad experience). They need just ask one enthusiast or read one of the many popular tech sites now posting this news to know that they shouldn't buy the device. How? They'll just read that it's "locked, unopened, encrypted, spurned by uber-geeks" just as the Apple product was.

Don't underestimate our power. Use it. Such social gathering and protest won revolts in random middle eastern countries. It even won a partial concession from Motorola and its formerly horrific bootloader policy. It's powerful, and it works. Vote now (link in sig, takes seconds) and/or contact HTC. Better yet, have your friends do the same. Welcome to Web 2.0 power, people.

[HTC EVO 3D] Broded:
I disagree with you completely. The N64 emulator and the 3D capability of the EVO 3d alone would attract so many people, its like a phone and a 3DS. We are a minority, we may be able to convince other people to not buy it, but a 3D phone is attractive to the masses sort of like an iPhone is.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
it is still a damn good phone with gingerbread and sense 3.0, people wouldn't give a damn about locked bootloader, ask 10 of my friends and they probably wont know what the hell a locked bootloader is. Even if it is a locked bootloader there is always a way around.
[HTC EVO 3D] Blitzpwnage:
wrong, you should really take a proactive approach to this and tell your friends about the locked boot loader. Second, yes there is a way around LOCKED BOOTLOADERS, but not an encrypted hboot, recovery AND kernel. With those being encrypted, we are essentially screwed.

Lol i say on htcs sites and email that i will not be gettin the evo 3d bc of this to try and change there mind . But really who thinks its gonna help ? Sprint and other carriers have a roll in this to they dont want you to be able to get hot spot free anymore,

Im gonna get thr evo 3d for the phone itself

No matter if they change it or not , the evo 3d is the bEst phone coming out soon its htc , htc has the best build quality other then apple and i hate apple

But you people or can say ur gettin samsung or lg can go ahead i will wait 6 months for a full root with a leaked eng bootloader half root wont hurt untill then . What will hurt is u people going to samsung or lg and couple months down the road ur phone falls apart i would rather a great phone then a phone with a unlocked bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
We will get full root, some how, some way. If htc does it the way that sony is (they unlock, flag as voided), I'm sure we will find a way to use that and unlock that biotch.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
It's a damn good phone now but, it won't be all that in 6 months from when Android releases ice cream or whatever their next OS version will be and you will not be able to get it on your EVO 3d!

People will not feel the effect when they first get their 3d, but once the newness of the phone wears off and you get bored of Sense 3.0 there won't be much you can do after that except to look around and be jealous of the awesome Roms that are on all the other unlocked phones.

I seriously thought I would still buy the Evo 3d anyway but the more I think about I am not going to be happy to wait another year for an upgrade and be stock with a phone I can't install custom Roms on. It would make XDA pretty useless for me the entire time I would own it and this is my favorite site! But what would be the point of coming here?

So I will probabaly purchase just to get a quick fix of something new and return before my 30 days are up. After that, the SGSII shouldn't be to far out so that will probably be my next phone unless Motorola announces something that will top it.

Sounds like you need to educate your friends on what your phone can actually do. I'm sure once they enjoy that freedom they will care.

[General Questions and Answers] ekb606:
Rooting Yes! It's Great! But lack of backup util is scary

Yes, my Echo has been rooted for four months using Z4root.

I haven't tried to find an alternate ROM because, frankly, the stock one is so much better than anything HTC ever offered me.

My main interest in rooting the Echo was to get rid of all the dumb Sprint apps and, most important, extend battery life by using power saving apps only available with rotted phones My favorites being SetCPU and and Timeout3G.

Also, if you like to blacklist callers without ever hearing half or three quarters of a ringtone before the call if blocked, Root Call Blocker is the best blocker in the Market, but as the name implies it is for rooted phones only.

Anyway, all these things work great and I can get through an entire day (most of the time) on one recharge ... even more impressive I can leave the phone off the recharger at night and start the next day having lost only three to five percent of the charge ... as opposed to 40-50 percent before rooting.

The problem -- and its a very real problem -- is that there is no way that I have found to do a Nandroid or other complete system/recovery backup for the Echo.

When I open ROM Manager Premium it tells me there is a new version of Clockword MOD available, but, of course, it's lying ... at least in regard to the Echo.

If I try to use the backup current rom option in ROM Manager it reboots and freezes on the green symbol with the yield sign and need to be hard rebooted by pulling the battery.

Now, to make matters worse, Sprint has started downloading auto firmware updates that may or may not brick rooted phones. Since my phone is now working perfectly the way I want it to I wouldn't install the updates anyway if I could avoid it but avoiding it is the issue ... there is a toggle to turn off checking for and auto downloading Android updates but none for eliminating auto firmware updates.

So two questions?

1. Has any figured out how to backup the Echo?

2. Does anyone know how to disable auto system updates?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] evilvoice:
In answer to your 2nd question, if you are rooted, install File Expert, hit menu button, settings, file explorer settings and check root explorer.

exit file expert (should not have an icon in the status bar)

open file expert, hit back 2 times, goto system, hit menu button, more, mount, mount as read write.

goto etc, security, long press on otacerts.zip, file operations, rename, otacerts.zip.bak.

it will tell you about the update and download, but wont install because it cant validate.

if someone doesnt post a reply to your 1st question by tomorrow, I will tell you how to do that too, but right now I am going to bed...this post may not make a lot of sense, but hopefully you can figure it out, if not, let me know and I will clean up tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] ekb606:
Sorry it took me so long to thank you

I've been overseas and out of touch ... your solution fir disabling auto system updates is great ... thank you.

Do you know if anyone has figured out how to do a Nandroid type backup on the Echo yet?

For the record, I love this phone more every day ... which is quite the reverse from my experience with various HTC and Samsung smart phones.

Yes, the release Echo is a bit prototypy, but there will, hopefully, be an Echo 2 with a smaller band between the screens, etc.

What most people will never know is how incredibly misleading most of the reviews were. Not exactly untrue, but misleading.

For example, almost everyone panned the Echo's camera for being slow, producing under-saturated colors, only having a 2-1 zoom ratio, etc.

Truth is there is nothing wrong with the Echo's camera, hardware-wise it is the best phone camera I have ever used (and I used to shoot pictures for a living,) far better than a couple of HTC 8mp cameras I've tried.

What is horrible is Kyocera's implementation of the standard Android operating and color control system. It is just awful, even worse than HTC's (Samsung is pretty good with this), which I would have said was impossible.

Download a decent camera app from the Market and the Echo shines. Vignette, my current favorite, virtually eliminates the standard app's focusing and shutter delays, produces rich, sharp color correct images and offers a 10:1 zoom ratio.
[General Questions and Answers] Jamin13:
I don't think it's possible without a custom recovery and there doesn't seem to be much hope with that.

The only way we would get some development on this would primarily be if a dev was given an Echo. All we need is a recovery and then we can move from there.
