Ok that is awesome thank you. I lowered it to 5. Now is this a filter or is the light really at 5%. I bet I can save some juice as I don't used it to surf at work and I read in the dark. Thanks again and thanks button hit.

Edit: Oh man, there can be up to 3000 levels set! Holy crap. Nice
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
So just a little while ago all my calls started failing (I had made a couple a changes to my phone last night), so I thought I had a bad flash (reception dropped from nearly full (on the indicator) H to no service). I went to my Nandroid backup only to have the same thing happening. I was starting to panic, thinking that my radio had died (I had a heat related reboot yesterday) when my wife (who has a samsung slider feature phone) asked if I was having issues making phone calls. Turns out that I currently have to put my phone into GSM only mode to make/receive calls & texts. Sadly, I can't figure out how to do the same with the wife's phone.

Moral of the story is, AT&T has network issues, don't assume that every problem has to do with a custom ROM/ modified phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Your right should always check with ATT first. They are doing a lot of upgrades to there network right now. I have a lot of friends saying they have reception issues right now. So if you have issues try asking a friend also on ATT in the same area if they are having problems to. I personally think ATT should post on there website affected areas or even a txt to let people know that there might be trouble with there service.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psyc0:
i concur ...but thats what i expect from att....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
I do know if you call the reps can tell you if there having trouble in your area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CH33FZ:
I can text, just not call. I can't hear anything in the calls.

I RUU'd my phone to stock so I could check out the new update. Trying to reroot using unrevoked and I am getting "failed to flash recovery image" I followed all the steps...

has anyone else been able to root this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
This what I kept telling people...don't do that. Unrevoked won't work on it because it hasn't been updated to work with the new OTA, though it should happen soon. You should have waited for the rooted rom, which would be out sometime today, Virus is already on it. For now, you're stuck.

Have you tried looking at the bootloader? Does it show s-off? I doubt it worked, but in the event it did, all you would have to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery in the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
Epic Fail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRELUDE777:
lol unrevoked has not came up with new version of root for last ota. dude it just came out yesterday :) try diffident methods
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Yeah I know :P

Another root method maybe?

Or I guess I could just RUU back again and not update? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
RUUing to an older version of what you have could brick your phone. The new update has a new bootloader so you are pretty much screwed until somebody comes up with a way to root it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
If he was actually thinking properly it wouldn't matter. If he had S-Off then just flashed the Amon Ra in recovery then he will have Recovery Back and can Flash ANY ROM he Desires.

RUU'ing back to stock doesn't turn S-Off back to S-On

But if he Didn't i would advise Running the Old RUU then using unrevoked, then unrevoked forever but unrevoked3 has unrevoked forever built into it then you can update to the new rom and reflash amon ra or clockwork over to have recovery back then when a Odexed or DeOdexed rom comes out flash it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Nope not really. I love to play around and try things out for myself. Best way for me to learn things. No big deal if I don't get root right now. I'll figure out something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
I do have S-OFF still.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Successfully flashed Amon_RA recovery :) Going to see if I can flash roms now.

Thanks for the tip!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
You're welcome, i hope that makes things easier
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I guess you're lucky then. Try flashing a rom, that should set you on the right path.

Wait, what - SPRINT released the 2.3 OTA update? I can restore back to stock and get the update now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Just flash the rooted version... although like everyone else, you'll probably update OTA anyway thinking it's easier and run into the same problems as everyone else.

I didn't believe it, but you guys called it, threads popping up with people complaining about losing root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Lot of ignorant people too apparently. I knew the consequences and possibilities. And I was also able to get my root back. And I learned some new things. Not everything has to be so negative :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
I actually wasn't complaining. I was asking if anyone had success rooting the 2.3 update. I could have been doing something wrong or missed a step.

Thanks for your feedback!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Why would someone with 7 posts, that's been a member for a few days want to believe people who read and post here everyday and stay on top of things???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I've been telling people that for 5 days now, trying to prevent this from happening.

Rule #1: NEVER accept an official OTA while rooted. If you wanted, wait for the rooted version which will 95% of the time be out the same day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're pretty lucky that you were able to get root back. Taking an OTA while rooted isn't advisable for a few reasons. I've seen it cause bricks before. It can cause problems. And mainly, new OTA's usually have a new hboot version, which isn't rootable. The ONLY reason that you were able to get root back so quick is because you must've used Unrevoked forever at some point in time, which kept you S-off, luckily. If you had become S-on during the OTA update, you'd be completely out of luck and without root until someone figures out how to get S-off on the new bootloader. I don't know if you remember, but when the last 3.70 OTA came out, tons of people lost root, and it took quite a damn long time for it to become rootable via unrevoked. The only method for root was a method that would've been very intimidating for some people. Bottom line is to not take OTA updates if your rooted. It is unpredictable what will happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
That was way before they figured out S-Off, no OTA will change S-On, not even an RUU, Especially now that HTC has Agreed to keep the Bootloaders Unlocked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
okay........ so no RUU or OTA has the capability of turning S-off back to S-on your saying? okay......

and for now, HTC isn't sticking to their word on the bootloaders staying unlocked. Hopefully this is just because the OTA was already cooked and ready before they said they wouldn't lock the bootloaders.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109322
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
All of the bootloaders have been locked since day one, their has been work arounds all the TIME, HTC did just state they would unlock the bootloader you can't hold that against them yet, it was a rom in the works for a while.

But you must always remember SPRINT can influence them locking the bootloader
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I think we're miscommunicating. I know there's been work around for every locked bootloader htc has put out. And as I said, I also attributed it to this OTA already being ready to go before they announced the unlocked bootloaders. This one currently isn't locked though, its encrypted. Way different from how all the others have been. Hopefully it doesn't stay that way.

Take care, have a good day man.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
Hopefully it doesn't and the way HTC has been lately lets just hope that was in their original plans prior to them agreeing to unlock the bootloaders, so on the next update or newer devices we will see, that means that on the release date of the evo 3d the bootloader will probably be encrypted as well but will be given a way to unlock it or they will give an update that decrypts the bootloader or a different bootloader all together

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wifflepig:
Well, I'm a bit concerned about flashing the rooted stock, because I heard about people losing WiFi or Radio or some such (it's such a pain in the butt to wade through 50 pages of people screaming boogers).

I figured it'd be easier to just go back to OTA stock, and wait for another normal root method (the only thing I *need* root for is Wifi Tether, and I hardly ever use it).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Installed 2.3.4 on my HD2. I do have one question:

I cannot find a capability to assign/select separate Ringtones for my contacts as I could do in 2.3.3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Two tips that I have learned in the past couple of days when moving up from 2.2.

1. If anyone uses a Magic Jack and needs to listen to their voice mail. I have found that WavPlayer (Free) does work to play the voice mails.

2. If you want an easy way to increase the size of your Icons/apps use LCD Density Changer.

Hope these two helps others.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
Im using hyperdroid CM7 which uses 2.3.4. I can do it on mine.

Contacts>Click on your preferred contact>Hit Windows Button And Choose Options> Ringtone (Set as default)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Thanks! Your are right. I was choosing Edit instead of OPTIONS. I do appreciate your help! Give you a 'Thank You'!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
no worries mate
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Under 2.3.4, you don't see Media for Ringtones, Notifications? Did they move that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
well on my build i can pick between media or stock android sounds. even long pressing on a song in the music app lets me set it as sms or ringtones :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Thanks, that did it as it placed the song in Ringtones.

However, where are Ringtones, Notifications stored? Under other Android OS these were stored under Media. I cannot find a Media folder.

Gave you a 'Thank You.'
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
no worries bro :-), on my SD card i have a folder called ringtones with 30 sec clips of all the different ringtones I've used. These ringtones ALWAYS appear when I'm picking a notification sound (even when I flash a new rom) so I guess you could try creating a ringtones folder on your SD card and rebooting your phone and see what happens. Hope it helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
I also have two folders on my SD card.

1. I got from a previous version of Android 2.2.2 called Media.

2. I made and call Ringtones where I made ringtones and placed them in there.

However, when I view either one, they both do not contain the music filoe that I put in yesterday using the method you suggested. I used Music player and held down on that song until Select as Ringtone option appeared. I could them see that ringtone song when I wanted to select that ringtone for my SMS. However, I cannot see that specific song in either of the abobe 2 folders: Media and Ringtones.

So, that is why I ask if anyone knows where Ringtones are stored when using 2.3.4.

Again, I do appreciate your time, help and have a great day. Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
I don't care about Carrier IQ or who did remove it, Carrier IQ is suppose to help sprint and sprint already has a network to track people and they own the network, they can look at your browsing history and text messages.

Hell they might keep log on calls but they might have limited access to your phone to check on the signal strengths and CIQ is suppose to help sprint get better coverage.

So please stop giving people false hope
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting very interesting

.... Did you guys see who was first ?
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
Removing it makes the device run faster with no ill side effects, so I'm in.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
That because of the Ext4, tweaks and Overclocking
[Epic 4G General] BWFBezerk:
Is there a comparison somewhere, or are we just assuming?

Serious question, not being sarcastic.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Systems and Frameworks with no CIQ scored higher in benchmarks back when we first started removing it, but it's been so long that I can't remember by how much.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
Do we even know who is responsible maybe it was samsung and they do not have access to all that data like sprint does other than by using a program like CIQ. Not sure if its in other samsung phones but maybe sprint is the only one that let them include it?
[Epic 4G General] zeppelin481:
Before people start jumping on the "Keep it" or "Remove it" bandwagons, they should probably educate themselves on the product. People can simply go to their website and inform themselves before making said decision (the company is pretty open about what their products do). I personally don't care if it is there or not. I don't believe Sprint is even taking advantage of the full capability of Carrier IQ ( Some of the logging and such is off by default).

On another note, Carrier IQ has the potential to collect metrics about much more the signal strength; this isn't the only purpose of the software. And depending on what it collects, how it collects, and how often, it can certainly lead to performance and battery degradation.

Finally, I think it would be smarter if Sprint was upfront about the benefits of such metric collecting software on their devices, AND gave the customer the ability to opt in or out. I actually opted into something similar back in my Windows Mobile days (albeit the company payed me each month for opting in. It was a few bucks each month, and basically covered the cost of my data plan). Software like this CAN BE BENEFICIAL!! My 2 cents...

[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
Benchmarks only help show improvements in tweaks imo. Real world my phone feels the same whether im hittin 2000 or 2500 on quadrant. Not to mention I saw 2600+ well before ciq removal goin back to one of the leaked froyo builds.
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Ciq was not being used at all really.. but the service was running. Killing extra running services that are useless is always a good thing an noone can really argue that. The paranoia behind CIQ was propaganda for the most part. It has/had potential to be infringing, but sprint doesn't need it to track us or infringe on our privacy. I am certain that battery life, smoothness, and stability have all increased since removal. It's my opinion, and that's all that matters... my latest rom is by far the smoothest and most stable I've ever used. Is it noCIQ? Not entirely, but I will continue to remove it because I feel like its part of the equation.

So yea bull**** sorta, but it makes people feel good and it makes my phone feel good..
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I'm with the noobnl about this CIQ paranoia. If you have an android phone, Google and Sprint already have your entire contact list, emails, all your locations, your list of apps, visited web sites, etc, WITHOUT using any spyware. As I understand it CIQ gives them lots of data about network parameters that help Sprint tune their network. I'm all for that.

I haven't seen a direct performance and battery life comparison between an identical rom with and without CIQ. I also don't care about benchmarks, I just want a phone that doesn't lag and has a battery that lasts all day.

Seems to me that if you are concerned about CIQ spying on you, you probably shouldn't use a smartphone in the first place.....maybe you shouldn't even carry a cell phone.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
CIQ = Unproven threat

Built-in FM Radio = Vapor

Built-in TV-OUT = Vapor

EXT4 OFF over EXT4 ON/RFS = sacrifice stability for e-peen scores (lack of best practices mentality).

[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
It probably does collect information that could benefit us, sprint, service, support, products ect. BUT, since it's off by default, it's not doing much, so its better in my opinion to have it removed.

As long as I've had ****ty 3g speeds and having to resend text multiple times because they failed to go through 2 or 3 times before I'm pretty convinced Sprint don't give 2 ****s about how good my service is. I'll go without CIQ anyday.

[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I honestly don't think it's as malicious as the ACS team put it, but it does slow things down (even if by a little). And the less services running in the background for myself, the better.
[Epic 4G General] silver03wrx:
I'm not sure where I stand I see no performance improvement with no ciq. How ever sprint hasn't stolen my identity either so mabye its not such a big deal
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
Just thought I would throw in my 2cents on this topic.

Facts we publicly know:

CarrierIQ has access to every aspect of interaction between the device and the user.

CarrierIQ has the ability to log all data it has access to.

CarrierIQ has the ability to transmit all data it has access to.

Removal of CarrierIQ, as stated by both Sprint & Samsung, will void your warranty.

What Software packages of this type are capable of:

Logging and transmission of data may be enabled without notification of the user at any time via alpha-numeric string sent via SMS or MMS, via the CDMA Network, WiFi or Bluetooth.

The ability to disable geo-tagging in the latest FROYO release. Now CarrierIQ has the ability to know where you take your pictures. It may even have the ability to transmit said pictures along with its embedded GPS information.

It has the ability to monitor call information, tower location, signal strength, did the call drop, etc., to improve the Sprint network. But CarrierIQ is so invasive that it has the ability to also know, what number you were talking to, what name if any it is associated with in your contacts, how often and how long you talk to that number, are they also your friend on social networking sites if you sync with those sites. Why does Sprint need this level of "metrics"?

Does it know whats on your calendar? How many alarms you set and what for? Why does Sprint need to know this?

Every application you use, the type, how often and for how long. Why?

Every key stroke via hardware or software based keyboards. Every every text message you send or receive, every user name, every password can now be logged.

The possibilities are almost endless.

As we all know, Sprint is not the most "secure" wireless carrier. Sprint's past is riddled with employee's "stealing" customer information and fraud. Can you actually tell me with a straight face that you trust them with this type of invasive capability? Or look at it another way, can you trust the source code, the or those who hack for malicious purposes? Think identity theft, think personal and family safety.
[Epic 4G General] agentsparrow:
I'm not worried about Sprint gathering info. Anyone with a smart/cell phone, internet, cable tv, or walks outside is already having their activities monitored. But I put custom ROMs on my phones because I want a streamlined experience that I like. Take out what I don't need and give me only what I want. If CIQ were that beneficial to Sprint, they would tell us why we should keep it in our ROMs. They know it's been taken out in a lot of ROMs, they're not blind. As far as I can see it is one less running service and that means better performance and battery. I consider it bloatware. If you're gonna argue that CIQ removal is unnecessary, then so are the Sprint apps noone uses..

Also, the EVO has CIQ, so it's not just a Samsung thing. And the noCIQ ROM I have on my wife's EVO runs smooth as butter and has excellent battery life. Of course it's more than just the noCIQ, but every little bit helps.

Seems to me the only people that would argue against CIQ removal are Sprint advocates and those jealous they didn't figure out how to do it.
