Love this. You give us clockwork but we can't even s-off yet.

What is the point?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
So that it's available when S-OFF is released. That's really the same as:

"We have S-OFF but no recovery, so we can't safely load ROMs...what's the point of this?"

OK, would you care to release the S-Off instructions/files for us? :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Sigh...

XGunther does not have the files or instructions on how to get s-Off.

An Alpharev dev did it for him. They will be releasing the instructions in the next few days.

Please visit http://www.alpharev.nl/x/ for updates on the release and future instructions and in the future please search around first or at least read the posts that came before you in the same thread you posted in.

This is just like the inc1 when we were waiting for unrevoked to drop. It will come when it's done, until then, just have fun with the phone, or use ur inc1 until root comes. keeps me satisfied. :cool:

How to boot into recovery?

I can't figure out how to boot the Incredible 2 into CWM Recovery. On my OG Incredible I would hold volume down + Power, but that doesn't seem to work on Incredible 2. What am I missing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KratosAurion:
That's correct, volume+power will take you to the bootloader. And then you have to boot to recovery from the bootloader menu.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
It can be hard to get just right sometimes. I had problems this morning. You have to hold power for maybe 3 seconds, then hold volume down and let go of power. It is a lot easier to go through rom manager if you have it.

Sent from my Incredible 2 with Xda app
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bucwylde23:
Yup, just use ROM manager. You just select "boot into recovery" and wait. It's easy.

Question, though. This thread has 4.0.0.4 as the CWM version, however when I updated in ROM Manager it is version 4.0.0.8. Do we need to run the version in this thread or is 4.0.0.8 okay? I haven't noticed any issues but all I've done is made a backup.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fillossofer:
Thanks, I had fastboot enabled in the application settings, which makes booting into recovery impossible. Doh!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
Trying the following:

fastboot flash recovery cwm-4005.img

(yes I renamed the file)

and get:

< waiting for device >

Never flashes it.. just sits there... wtf?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
Boot into fast boot first
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
DUH! Thanks man...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
You can hit that thanks button:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Thanks for all the fine posts...when I run the "flashboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-vivow.img" in window 7 cmds I get this message "error: cannot load 'cwm-recovery-vivow.img'" any sugg?

I have all the adb tools and fastboot files and cwm together in the same folder....I suspect drivers??

EDIT...JUST GOT IT!!!!! WHOOP! I just changed the cmd to: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.8-vivow.img" and it worked ...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dg4prez:
my rom manager wants to update my CWM to 4.0.0.8. Can I allow it to do so or do I need to use the manual method listed in this thread?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dg4prez:
I installed the version requested by rom manager. Looks like this one is orange, and doesn't say "for alpharevx."

What's the difference between the two, if any?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tonemand:
I let mine update it automatically without any issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tonemand:
The bootloader is the one that says "AlphaRevX" at the top. The ClockwordMod Recovery is separate. ROM Manager is made by the folks who make the recovery, and that is the only thing it will update (aside from installing mods as well), not the bootloader.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathon2011:
The recovery installed from using alpharev is blue and also says alpharev on the top.. I'm not sure there is a difference, but I would like to know as well..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spartan018:
The 'Quick Backup and Restore' option in ROM Manager doesn't seem to work for me, anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] happynoodleboyx:
I got stuck at a recover without a "install zip from sdcard" Took me a while to find this and finally got recovery installed.

Android Flasher method to install ClockworkMod recovery

Download Android Flasher for Windows from here

Run Android Flasher and select "Recovery" (one of the options on the left). Navigate to the location of your and select it.

The phone should switch itself into Fastboot mode and install the clockworkmod recovery img for you.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] djh816:
The original blue one was altered by alpharevx as it was the first version of Clockwork Recovery built for the Incredible 2. Now that they know the info though, koush's main code can be used. Koush's choice for colors is orange and therefor the OFFICIAL clockworkmod will be orange. The blue color was just an alteration done by alpharevx from the existing clockwork recovery code. In response to the person asking about updating to clockwork 4.0.0.8, mine updated fine and works fine on installs. I'm still trying to figure out though if it's the recovery or my own configuration issues which are preventing me from restoring my (succesfully) created backups. Hope this clears some things up though for you guys. It's all the same base code.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vicbaz:
Hi all I'm new to the forum and a bit of a noob when it comes to droids. But does any one know if there's an app out there so that can theme the icons on the status bar my droids isn't rooted and I'm running gb 2.3.4 themed with awd.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daniel.mitran:
To ways come to my mind:

1. root it, install CyanogenMod and search the market for Theme Engine's themes (there are quite a few and they theme almost everything); a bit tricky, you get lots of themes.

2. root it, metamorh/ninjamorfh and search themes for them (I'm not 100% sure those apps would work on stock rom, never tried);

[HTC EVO 3D] ballr4lyf:
I really wish I would get a phone call like this just so I could say "ARE YOU DAFT?!?!" in a snotty, British accent. :p

Seriously though, that sux man. Hope you can get it squared away, regardless.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
I just went to the store and the Manager behind the damn counter had the Evo3d to his ear on the conference call. I was MAD at this point. I demanded to speak with the District Manager and he told me once he got off the phone with her that they would call me back Thursday to most likely price match what was in the ad. This has been my first phone I have ever got on launch day, and it has turned into more bull**** than I have ever known. Almost not really worth the stress.

EDIT: It wouldn't be so bad, had I not went to the store personally and asked if the phone was going to be 499.99 and was told YES. I'm calling the better business bureau to discuss if this can and is legal to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Mis-Prints do indeed suck. Good luck to you on this. I am sure they will be shaking in their boots. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
i preordered with RS and after i had swiped my card, they were like, you DO know you can't switch this phone to another line like you had planned according to RS, right?? and i said, well then i would not like to preorder. Their response: sorry, too late, enjoy your gift card.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
That's simply not true. All you got to do is switch via sprint. It is your phone, they can't dictate how you use it. People upgrade phones all the time via one line, only to use it on another line.
[HTC EVO 3D] F.T.P.:
Hi sorry to hear about that...One thing id do tho is go into the store and see if they still have their weekly ad...it was showing 499(i got one) and regaurdless of it was a misprint they SHOULD horor the printed price...Im a manager in retail and they might try and say it was a misprint but if its printed and you raise enough of a stink..You WILL get the price advertised...YMMV but just keep asking to talk to THEIR boss...Happens all the time...Most ppl will accept the misprint..those who dont accept it, get it for 499... hope this helps and u get it
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
The funny part is, they have the ads sitting on the counter IN THE STORE and are still giving out the $599 price lol. The dude in the RS I went to didnt even know about the $499 price in the ad until I pointed it out. I'm not surprised though.. ive been questioning how RS and Amazon would be able to sell this phone so cheap considering even Sprint is selling it for $549 off contract. Best Buy and Target both raised their prices by $100 last week and I figured RS would follow suit.

Im telling you now, dont be surprised if Amazon changes the price on people Friday lol. Now that would be a tragedy.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] luc1ddr3am:
I'm going crazy here.... I don't understand why a full flush design for the extended battery has not been designed. The EVO full length extended backing is actually attractive in my opinion...it just makes the phone look like a fuller sized handset cordless phone.

So has anyone found a case or an extended battery cover that covers the *full* length of the phone? Preferably something that preserves the kickstand. I've seen the active, convert, and whatever else seidio has to offer. The powerskin is the closest thing to what I'm looking for cosmetically...but far from the functional use I'm seeking.

I'm half tempted to just experiment with some superglue and machine myself something away from a plastic block.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Rngrrymd:
My guess is a full length cover could screw with the camera when taking pictures, kinda like Apple couldn't get the white Iphone going for a while because of reflections from the cover hitting the lens.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] daytonahemi08:
I don't think there ever will be as the stock battery case does not do that...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] KnightCrusader:
I would assume its the kickstand being there as why they don't have a full back cover.
[HTC EVO 3D] cjackxiii:
For those former evo owners were there lines at the sprint store. I'm not asking about iphone style lines, because if you think about it they are actually really really sad, but what should I be expecting with the evo 3d. There also doesn't seem to be the amount of promotion for the evo 3d that there was for the evo.

Fortunately the customers service branch of sprint agreed to allow me to upgrade both my phones ahead of my upgrade cycle but I am still unable to pre order from Amazon.
[HTC EVO 3D] ballr4lyf:
I can't answer about the lines, but I do want to correct one point though.

This phone has probably gotten more promotion prior to launch than the Evo. The Evo didn't really get a marketing push until after it was already launched. I remember seeing a few threads on the forums talking about how the Evo sales would have done even better if there had actually been some marketing behind it prior to release, and basically complaining about the lack of any marketing campaign for the Evo. It was a month or two later that you started seeing ads for the Evo on more than just one channel.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
I worked at a one of the largest corp stores in the country during the evo release.

was only 3-4 people in line waiting, and if i recall one just wanted to pay his bill haha.

(now im not talking new york or LA) but we were a top 50 store sales/traffic

actually, the PRE had a much larger line, probably 30 people, we sold out after about 2 hours of being open.

android wasnt really HUGE at the evo release tho, so we'll see.
[HTC EVO 3D] dtblair24:
there could be a slight rush..but like you said, nothing compared to iPhone.

My friend got his evo from sprint on launch day last year

.and he was the first person in, and by the time he was done there were about 7 other individuals waiting.

But all that will probably depend on where you live and what not. In my metro area, there are 4 sprint stores, 3 radioshacks, and 3 bestbuys within ten miles away from my house. So I am confident there will be no issues here.
[HTC EVO 3D] cjackxiii:
To be fair I really shouldn't have put that in there because since the evo was released I discontinued my cable subscription and now watch all my tv programming from the internet so that effectively puts me out of the mainstream consumption of traditional marketing. So I really can't gauge the amount of tv advertising the 3d is getting/

I do know is that android now has a customer base that it didn't really have when the evo was released. I purchased the htc hero as soon as they were released. I never received any kind of notification from sprint that the evo was being released but I have released at least 5 emails from Sprint about the Evo3d.

Is there any other observations about 1st day reception of the evo and predictions about the 3d?

rooted my phone today and most of it went well. both rasio s and eng s off.

i have installed rom manager and have encountered a problem. Before I chose and downloaded the rom i wanted, i saw a few posts about formatting and resetting on the first time flash so i rebooted into recovery and did so. unfortunately now im left with a phone running 2.2 and cant flash! i had to reinstall rom manager after the reset and whatever i do in rom manager is saying its umable to run privileged commands i.e root?!? do i need to downloaded visionary again and repeat the whole process cos i thought i had perm rooted! any ideas??

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
If you head to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

Find Superuser and "Clear data" then fire up ROM Manager as normal. It should ask for SU permission if you try to perform a root command.

jst read this ona x10 blog jst wondered if there was any truth init at all?

This is not a “SmartPhone”, it is a “Dumbphone”.

I have been struggling since 3 months from day one of purchase.

Apparently when the phone is synchronising Data/ Internet, you are unreachable on the “voice network”

After 3 months of running from pillar to post, the Sony Ericsson team says that this is default feature of the phone and nothing can be done about it.

(You can call Sony Ericsson Service center and find out)

So when you surf on the internet or download mails, you are completely unreachable on the Voice network. No calls can come in, you are not reachable if someone calls you on your mobile.
[XPERIA X10 General] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
well i didnt know the answer to your question , so i ran a test browsed the net using hsdpa/ 3g internet then dialled my mobile from my house phone and voila my mobile rang no problem , so the answer is yes you can receive calls whilst using internet
[XPERIA X10 General] andddy:
cheers dude i should of thought of that LOL it could be network related right?
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
Definitely network related. I can surf the web and use the call features at the same time. It's actually a key selling point that AT&T uses over Verizon in their iPhone battle.
[XPERIA X10 General] Moon2:
This is only the case if ur using, I think baseband 49 or lower (half-duples), but the latest basebands support the use of both web browsing, and voice calls at the same time (full-duplex).
[XPERIA X10 General] peterko64:
This happening when on 2G internet. It‘s old issue with GPRS data transfers and it is NOT phone but network related.

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
It's your call settings. You must have it set to forward to voicemail when busy, which means using data. I had the same problem. With at&t I think also called my phone and entered some code to disable call forwarding. I don't remember for sure. It was when I got my phone.

Also, I don't know who you use, but not every phone carrier offers that feature.

I saw this reply too in the blog post and it is by an Indian guy. Now i am from India too and let me tell all the 3G services are just recently launched so all networks are evry new to 3G.All the networks got permission to give 3G and thats why these kind of problems are coming!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
live is using more CPU !

maybe your stock background is more "light" and the live darker so the Samoled can handle the darker much better

and you cant compare 2 wallpapers cause of that thing in the settings! you did not used the two wallpars the equal time! so maybe you woke your phone with live lesser then with normal wallpaer up ! :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
+1

That just means the screen is responsible for a smaller percentage of the total battery loss, compared to everything else. My screen often eats about 50% of the battery. That could either mean that the screen is a battery hog, or that everything else on the phone is crazy efficient. Turn airplane mode on, auto brightness off, and screen timeout to 30 minutes. Then check the actual battery drop with each wallpaper after the phone sits idle for a half hour.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roberto75780:
AMOLED screen

I'm pretty sure its the colour. As you may be aware, with AMOLED technology, darker colours on screen use less battery because unlike LCDs, the light is only generated where needed instead of being generated everwhere and blocked out where its not need. It also makes for much better contrast. So try experimenting with darker wallpapers if you want to get more battery life. I think the difference would be quite small though.
