[EVO 4G General] 740man:
hello fellow forum i have htc evo my phone been well taken care of since it came out , till today the phone wouldn't adjust to brightness i can only see the screen when brightness is all the way high , if i try to adjust it alittle lower like half then screen goes black , and cant see anything , i tried to reset the phone clear cache , but still same issue and tried another rom and it still the same issue, so can some one help out , i tried to google it but nothing , any info would help out thank you in advance .
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
If it's doing the same thing regardless of what Rom and Kernel you have installed it sounds like a hardware failure. Take it back to Sprint for a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] 740man:
i had the phone over a year u can forget sprint because i closed my account, but is the htc have only one year factory warranty , for hardware issue
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
I suppose you could try replacing the screen, they don't seem to be too terribly expensive, just google around a bit and figure out what size of cable you have for yours by taking it apart.

But before you do that, definitely take the advice given previously of testing out different roms, especially different types of builds (Sense, AOSP, CM).

Im trying to install the speedmod kernel for MIUI via ODIN and it keeps failing at get PIT for mapping?! Never had this problem when flashing a kernel before.

Im on JPY firmware using JPU for partition and PIT.

Someone help please :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Have you made sure 're-partition' is UNchecked in odin ?

and you have not loaded a PIT file have you ??

could you post a screen shot of what odin looks like before you press start ?

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
After receiving my handset. all the death grip issues, losing wifi and some signal. I feel HTC Should redesign the back cover and send one out for each IMEI.

The backcover is flawed and atleast it all comes off. so replacing it should be no problem. The least they can do for a £500 phone.

how does everyone feel?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
as we have a poll for the bootloader, why not have a poll for our deathgrip. after all bootloader is useless if the phone wont function correctly with deathgrip
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
It seems like the most direct way to address the problem, but I'm not sure that HTC are willing to take the hit on profit...
[HTC Sensation] ARC X12:
Yes they need to since this is clearly a hardware issue which couldnt just be solved with software updates.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I know no least they could do

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with my finger using telepathy
[HTC Sensation] SousukeUK:
Another problem riddle handset from HTC

Well they will simply deny first! (Already did I read somewhere)

Then they will acknowledge! (Very Soon)

Then will ship a rubber band to solve the problem!

They will not do back cover redesign, that cost money!

Remember HTC has many other model handset. even Evo 3D is now due.

Apple had only one model phone even then they refuse to redo.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Im really thinking about selling it now
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
All devices have some sort of grip issue depending how you hold them. Some people are saying they have no issues at all when on a call.

I voted NO.
[HTC Sensation] ARC X12:
Yes they do not have any issues with call as the death grip issue referred to here is not for call but for wifi and bluetooth issues.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Wow - death-grip wouldn't bother me in the least, at least it's better than the reboot-o-matic G2x ! I've been through FOUR of them now, each one of them has been a clinker!

I'll be more than happy to pick up a Sensation next week when they are available.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
I have been saying this from Day 1.

The Sensations Design is inferior to previous phones designs... HTC will not do anything unfortunately.

I fear HTC is falling back into its old ways...
[HTC Sensation] sorcerika:
Well, with my personal experience, equiping sylicon cases only get worse...

[XPERIA X10 General] breitlingtim:
Well I have a brand new X10 that was sent back to me after my old one died. Only problem is it's locked to Rogers and The few unlock websites I've contacted couldn't find a code for it. I have it posted on craigslist here in the US, but I doubt I will have any luck. I posted it in Canada as well, but nothing yet. What is the best area to post in Canada do you think? I'm just not sure where Rogers covers up there. Thanks for the help.

By the way I have an Infuse 4G on the way today so bye bye x10 development forum...it's been really fun.
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicbrownn80:
The Mytouch 4g vs a lot of others phones has a whole 4GB of rom.

After I rooted it and installed Royal Ginger 2.1 on it, I saw I only have a little over 1GB for all my apps. Meaning that the OS takes up 3.6GB(formatted) - 1.2GB(Around) = 2.4GB ....

Is there anyway to get more user space? Some phones only come with 512MB of Rom so how are they able to load so much into 512 when we have 4GB and most of it not usable.

Honestly, I think 1GB is fine, just does not add up for me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
I think when you see manufacturers talk rom size it's the amount available to the user. So 512MB after os allocation.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicbrownn80:
so when mytouch 4g says 4GB it means? 4GB to user?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
the 4 gigs are supposed to be for the system and any read only data, or apps that don't like being on the SD Card. Even with a hundred apps, it should still be enough. What you'd really want is a larger SD card, and you'll be living in harmony.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
No 4GB total of which 1.1 available.

Desire for 512MB of which 100 or less available to user.

Rest is storage + cache.

Desire canbe changed VIA hboot. If same can be done to glacier, im sûre u'll find the remaining space.

This is a mod by $omator. I just wrapped it all together and put into single downloadable CWM zip, as it took some time for me to find working "crt off animation" on my JVO.

This package includes:

- crt animation

- FlyIn animation (search for "flyin spicia" on youtube for example)

- extended power menu

- overscroll glow effect (this is not in default package from $omator, but he described how to include it),

- notification bar stock icons (not all) converted to green, just like stock batery icon (also not as default in original package, but described in his thread)

- battery icon includes percents

Don't ask me to do package for other rom versions or with other icons. Do it yourself - $omator described pretty well how to do it.

I'm just sharing package that I made for my needs, maybe someone else might like it too.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nogaros4v8:
Hi guys,

First day with the new phone. Coming from a bb torch and was wondering if there are any apps to receive instant email?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
Um - the built-in email app? Just set it to push delivery. I'm assuming you are using an Exchange server for email?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
for true push you want k9 mail in the market. there was also maildroid but people prefered k9 even though they had nearly identical features.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
How is ActiveSync's push not "true push"?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well i havent cared to check lately to see if it improved but if you installed k9 on the captivate and had both running k9 would always give you a notification long before the stock app. but im thinking back almost a year, the email stock app may be improved now, lately i have only used my phone for checking email not replying or composing but i remember the stock apps being limited. k9 seemed more fully featured, could attach any file type and had a global inbox for all your accounts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
Well, I used "Improved Email" which is a slightly modified version of the stock app - primarily because it lets me setup multiple Exchange accounts. But anyway, I routinely get notifications of new emails on it before my desktop notifies me (granted, my desktop is running in "Cached Mode" - but still...).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
oh sorry. due to insomnia my brain isnt working. yes the stock app may have push for exchanger servers but it doesn't for personal emails. k9 might not be "true" either but it is much faster than the stock app can be on your gmail and other accounts. i need to watch how i word things but what i was getting at is in many cases k9 is very near real time notifications for most email accounts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
:) In that case I defer to your experience. I don't really use my Gmail account, so I have no idea how quickly it delivers email. I only assumed the poster was using Exchange because that's Blackberry's claim to fame - and I've never understood why Blackberry users seem to think that BB is the only way to get their email immediately - Exchange server has had that functionality baked in for years.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well the gmail app delivers the gmails fast but that app sux for full time use

i used to use k9 and killed notifications for gmail and email. now i stopped caring, i dont have a work email anymore and i stopped using my other personal email from an isp i no longer use so im down to only my gmail but use my computer to reply now as nothing in my life is that urgent at the moment that i need to reply from my phone where ever i am. i may be out of touch with what works now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nogaros4v8:
Thanks for the help guys. FYI it has nothing to do with thinking that bb's are the only phones that can get instant email. Just some people arent as tech savvy or forgot since they havent owned htc/wm phones in a long time OR never owned android like myself.

I do appreciate all the help however guys!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
I'm not sure, but I don't want my email to have a stop ever on k9 server before it reach me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I want to put in a vote for enhanced email... Its a pretty awesome client.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
I agree with you on this,

[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
When applications that are GPU accelerated are switched to full screen, the screen orientation always switches back to default (with the Asus on the Transformer logo on top). This is regardless of the orientation you have set.

For example:

A)

1.) You have rotated your screen upside down

2.) you run Angry Birds

3.) the screen switches back to standard default orientation

B)

1.) You have rotated your screen upside down

2.) launch youtube

3.) play a video

4.) switch to full screen

5.) the screen automatically switches back to standard default orientation

I have upgraded to 3.1 recently and don't seem to remember this being an issue before with 3.0.1 before.

Is anyone else also having this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
ok, is anyone with 3.1 NOT having this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
I get the same thing happening, and I think I would go as far as to say that it's actually intentional behavior on the part of Asus and Google to make the orientation revert like that. It makes more sense for fullscreen video to default to that orientation so as to ensure that it's consistent with the proper docking position, which is with the docking port on the bottom. Most people who watch fullscreen video for any extended period of time are probably going to dock the device.

Why do you turn the tablet upside down in the first place? I understand that having the ability to rotate 270 degrees is sometimes helpful for games and multi-user applications, I just don't see how using the tablet in its default orientation would pose a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
I'm typing on phone so briefly, the reason I need the transformer to be upside is due to the design of the variable angle stand of the official asus transformer skin case.

The case stands by folding in a scalene triangular fashion.

20 degrees above horizontal requires upside down.

75 degrees above horizontal requires right side up.

So most of the time when you use it in your lap, you want only 20 degrees
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Applications are allowed to overide the orientation. This is true for most media players. It'll force the screen into the default landscape mode. App controlled so not honeycomb issue

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Sounds like a bit of a design oversight on the part of Asus.

Now as far as fixing it, you only have a few options. While you do have the ability to disable auto rotation on the screen, that's going to cause the tablet to simply default to the 0 degrees landscape orientation. What you need on top of that is a way to manually set your orientation, and so far I've never seen an app or ROM that does that. That's not to say it's impossible, just that I've never seen it done. The other option is to buy the keyboard dock, but that's a little excessive unless you really think you need it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
This is due to the fact that the dev of the app has forced it to lock in that orientation (landscape right side up, there's an app called androsensor that will give you more info). There was another thread concerning the same topic in themes and apps section. Your best bet is to email the app developer when you run into this.

One example is airport mania, if you were holding the device upside down and launched the game, it would force it to run right side up. I sent them am email with a description of what is happening and that the official sleeve (although I don't have one but felt it was with mentioning) is designed so the device is upside down with camera at bottom and charge port at top. Got a reply within the day and an update in the market within 3.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
To much beer, not enough sex :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idlefrog:
There is an option to lock the orientation in the settings. So once it is upsied down you can lock the orientation and it shouldn't change.

I am not with my TF right now to test this though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
no, that doesn't work.

I don't recall this being a problem prior to the 3.1 update. Having to purposely ask each developer to change the orientation when none was necessary before is simply unacceptable.

Having bought something as simple as a case with it's multi-angle feature, one expects it to work out of the box.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
As far as I knew, apps like Moboplayer always stayed in the default landscape orientation during video playback
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
I don't use Moboplayer much, but as far as I can recall, the Youtube app worked upside down in full screen before.

Can someone with 3.0 confirm?
[HD7 General] NachoNut:
So as of yesterday, out of nowhere my data speed on my HD7 went through the drain. I can't even get the marketplace to load, let alone anything else that involves data.

I had previously run a speed test through some apps and have gotten around 1.3 meg download speeds, now running that app I can see the speeds as it's trying to calculate at under 0.01 meg.

I can get things to work if I reboot the phone. I even had t-mobile take me off the network and reconnect me.

Doing either of these gives my data the original speeds. Then after like 5 minutes, back down the crapper.

Any ideas or anybody else have these kind of issues? I'm under the 2 gig data limit before they throttle my speeds.

[Legend General] faratrix:
Hello my Legend before root was no brand Froyo 2.2 and GPS works well.

Then I ran successfully the root and installed the stable version 7 CyanogenMod but the gps does not want to officials in spite of having GPS installed booster for the test plus gps fix and to check ... but no signs of life, not satellites even see them ... how could hook ... I tried to flash with the nightly version, but nothing came back to the stable .... what do you recommend? Froyo return to 2.2 for a further verification? then I'll root again?

Help please!

thanks

I've replied you in your thread at Dev forum... Anyways, I solved the GPS issue on my legend by upgrading the radio to version 7.13.35.13 as suggested in one of the posts in CM7 forums.
[Droid X General] HostileJava:
So I recently updated to the OTA rooted 2.3.3 by clearing all data, sbfing back to 2.2 and then updating to 2.3.3 OTA rooted. I have noticed recently that every other morning or so my data connection is just gone. I can turn airplane mode on and off and it does not come back, wifi works fine. However if i disconnect from wifi I get no data and I can't make a call or send receive text messages until after I reboot, just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this and if there is a solution or if I should just clear the data on the phone and see if the issue goes away.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
That is not good. You may want to SBF again to see if that works
[Droid X General] paulieocean:
I have the same problem on my non-rooted droid x. data connection goes away and doesn't ever come back until you reboot. I've seen other people have this problem in a few other forums also...
[Droid X General] HostileJava:
Well I did a factory reset and install only launcher pro and google voice. Will use like that for a few days and see if it happens again.
[Droid X General] droidJW:
I sorta had this issue last week -- mine was dropping from 3g to 1x in my daytime location --i am here everyday so I'm familiar with the speeds/signal strength for this area.

Also I had never had this issue... ever. I was on the .595 GB leak, but I sbf back to .340 (didnt root) and STILL had the issue. I did data and cache wipes in recovery while on .595 plus a factory reset even after the froyo SBF.

So nothing worked..... GB, Froyo, rooted, non-rooted, factory resets, data roaming disable ... it still would drop 3g for 1x. This was just out of the blue, I've had the phone since Dec. 2010

I thought it might be a tower issue, so I suffered with this nonsense for 3 days, knowing that VZW would likely fix tower issues in that time.

After additional research, I found those saying a battery pull would do the trick. Well heck, after all that angst and effort a simple battery pull did it !

Not one problem since. Try the Battery pull !
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm having this occasionally as well.

Curious as to why a battery pull would do anything different than a reboot?

FWIW I'm on .596 rooted
[Droid X General] drhill:
It isnt any different. I've had this happen a few times and it keeps coming back in normally bad signal areas, but not every time. I have also had random reboot when the phone is in my pocket, unlike froyo where the reboorts happened when I was doing something important. I suppose that is progress then.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have a list of filenames for all the ASUS widgets that come stock on the TF? I'd like to delete most of them. I've already deleted Myzine, but I can't find the name of the analog clock widget. Do you have to uninstall the clock app to get that one to go away?

Well I've confirmed that the analog clock widget is built in to the clock app. I don't want or need that widget. Does anyone know a good alternate clock app that doesn't have extra junk?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jens1987:
I was rooting my Desire following the newbie guide found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

When doing the S-OFF with Alpharev, phone got stuck on step 3:

Flashing new bootblock: OK. Read Alpharez instructions and it would be safe to remove battery. Did so, then fastboot, recovery mode, back-up & here, it says it cannot find any files, even though I made a back-up when I rooted with unrevoked... Am I screwed?

Edit: it does say I'm on S-OFF now, but still can't get into stock ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LVL91:
As you mentioned, you see that your are S-OFF, so you can go into alpharev HBOOT I guess?

That means, you might be able to go into recovery via HBOOT.

From there you might be able to flash a custom rom. (Backup stock rom just to be sure)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jens1987:
Appreciate the comment.

I can get into HBOOT and from there into clockworkmod recovery, but as I said, there appears do be no recovery file. You're saying I should do back-up in clockworkmod and proceed with flashing a custom ROM? I'd still need to partition my SD-card but I suppose this can be done with my card reader as well. I followed the guide completely so I'm clueless as to what went wrong.
