[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
I have installed Virtuous Unity v1.25.0 ROM yesterday.

And whenever i start playing any game like Asphalt 6 Adrenaline or Gangstar Miami Vindication, it says in between that:

PvWmDrmproxy (com.pv.wmdrmproxy) Force Close

and the application stops working, everytime your whole progress is lost and the game restarts. It is really frustrating.

There was no such problem with Virtuous Unity v1.24.0, it started after I updated by phone.

Can somebody tell me what this error is and why is it occurring?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
quick question.

did you wipe the phone completely, flashed the rom, then restore your data or did you just flashed over?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
Yes i wiped the phone completely and then installed the rom.

I've done it twice but still it is showing the error.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
I tried deleting the file pvwmdrmproxy.apk but this resulted in worsening the situation...

although the notification is no longer showing but several other services started restarting on there own like App protector.

Also my phone started lagging.

I'm having a htc desire z..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
did you Superwipe.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044992

do that and reflash and it probably wont happen again (clockwork sucks at wiping)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
sorry I replied and compltely forgot to check the thread after I posted on it.

I personally have never seen this error and considering that you have already wiped, I am stumped. Is it possible that the wipe was not clean?

I know that back on Winmo, a normal wipe sometimes doesn't really wipe as you would think it did. I had to do an additional step to guarantee that it's completely wiped.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
I completely wiped data, cache, system and reformat everything and then installed the rom and for now the rom is working fine.

And i'm seeing any force close error till then.

Thanks for the advice.

By the way, is this superwipe safe, as it cleans system partition.

I'm a little worried in using it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Just as safe as the rom you flashed lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastwing:
hi all,

I also have the same problem as you.

A notification message: PvWmDrmproxy (com.pv.wmdrmproxy) Force Close

It appear when I used different apps.

I have fully wipe before flashing.

Any other user have the same situation?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
yes this happens to me sometimes when im running an app for a long time
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codecxbox:
This process is a Windows Media DRM service, required every time you install a rom. It usually happens if you have a too strong ad blocker. A lot of audio and video files are made with WM codecs, which have to be registered first with Windows DRM management. Try not to install ad blockers until you have all your apps installed, then install it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl1961:
that pvwmdrmproxy.apk and also PVWmdrmService.apk or for windows media file ( codec for androids ) try deleting both of them

[Droid Incredible General] drewcam888:
Yes I know task managers are unneeded. But I have one app that I want to control. If I use a task manager like advanced task killer it kills the app but not the apps service. So this means the service brings the app back to life after I kill the app. Is there a task manager that I can kill the app and service with one click?
[Droid Incredible General] refthemc:
Using CM7 I simply just hold the back button to kill it all together, like killing Jenga, or killing the stock android browser when it decides to act dumb with me :)

Enable under /Settings/Applications/Development/Stop app via long-press

Hope this helps....
[Droid Incredible General] (•.•):
use autokiller!

and check out my signature!
[Droid Incredible General] drewcam888:
autokiller can not be used because I want to control when the app is closed. I use it and then want it dead.

I dont have cm7 so that doesn't help me to much.

This is still in beta but the idea seems cool .. at least you can txt from your PC.

I've been using it for a while, so far I like it but one day I was unable to receive and texts until I uninstalled the app.

After the app change names to mighty text I have not had that issue recur.

But all the option in recovery is there.

i see this error also when i press:

I found what was the issue.

i was using paragon hd manager to create 3 partition. (fat32-1600, ext3-1000, linux-swap-540)

i try twice with this prg, still the same error when booting in recovery mode.

So i try with gparted software (linux based)

i redo the same partition and now the error is gone.

it seem that the partition was nor reconize correctly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
I've recently flashed my phone to use the SRF 1.2. I love this ROM, however it removed the stock alarm clock app. I really enjoyed using the stock alarm clock especially for its 'smart alarm' among various other option it came with. I know that there are plenty of great alarm apps out there but does anyone know how to get the original stock alarm back on the SRF 1.2 ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] northvibe:
I love the stock alarm! the easy wake feature that brings peaceful music before the real alarm is tities :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Here you go...push it to system\app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
Thanks for your quick response! I've downloaded the app directly onto my phone and tried installing but it gave me an 'Application not installed' error. Do you have it's not letting me install this app?

I've also tried copy-paste into the system/app folder using the Root Explorer. However, since the folder is a read-only folder I was unable to paste it in. Is this what you meant by "push it to system/app"?

Also, do you know if this app comes with the original ringtones?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorelliB:
When you use root explorer, you need to switch permissions to read-write (rw). Then push to system/apps. There is a little grey botton on the top in root explorer, select it so it says rw.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes, this^^^^^^^^^
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKaotica:

Oh good info.

Do we/is there a thread that has a list of the stock apps for quick/easy downloading?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodroid:
Thank you for the instructions. I was able to install it on my SRF 1.2 ROM. However, for some reason, it didn't have the Smart Alarm feature and was also missing most of the original alarm sounds. :confused: Does anyone have any idea on how to get these and to retrieve the Smart Alarm feature?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scantm:
(Not a direct solution to your problem...) I know I was a bit heartbroken over losing the stock clock but I found a recommendation somewhere to try Alarm Clock Plus. I like it, so while you figure this out, you might give it a shot. It has some good and similar features. Not perfect but a good alarm clock app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:

I am trying to put a new nand rom on my htc hd2, I download the rom i want but ever time i go into usb mass storage to copy the rom to my sd card it wont copy over is stops half way... Can anyone help???
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
I searched but couldn't find this particular problem; any help would be greatly appreciated.

Over the last few days I've downloaded midnight 5.5 and the new Urban fury (each three times; 2 times from different computers and once from the phone) and everything I flash just hangs at the Samsung boot screen. I've odin'ed back to EC05 and tried, always wiped everything 3x....nothing is working.

I can restore a previous backup just fine but that's all that works. I'm on the EC05 modem but also tried with the EF02 and EF10 (?)...the update from 02 anyway. I'm using the purple nurple for recovery.

Any ideas because I'm fresh out. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00145:
Did you odin to stock EC05 or just the modem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
I guess that part wasn't clear; I odin'ed the whole ROM and it switched me back to the EC05 modem in the process.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Aren't those EXT4 ROMs? You need to run the EXT4 conversion script first. CWM 3.1.0.1 does not convert for you like the older clockworks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
That's a good point. I'm not sure how that works but before the odin ordeal I was on EXT4 and tried wiping and flashing. After odin'ing I suppose it would switch back to RFS but how then does that handle my CWM restore as it was EXT4 when it was backed up? Does the restore change the file system as well?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
Just to cover all of my bases I downloaded and flashed the RFS2EXT4.ZIP. I assume that it worked, at least it backed up and flashed to "complete" but after wiping and attempting to flash Midnight again it is still hanging at the Samsung screen..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Restore your system to a working condition with no FCs, run the RFS2EXT4, don't wipe, flash Midnight. The problem with restoring a nand from EXT4 onto an RFS is the new CWM restores the kernel as well which would be EXT4 only. So anytime you need to restore from a Nand, choose advanced restore and restore data.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
I tried re-flashing after getting back to a stable backup but still had no luck. I then downloaded Frankenstein ECO5OCE directly to the phone, wiped 3x and flashed it and it booted up with no problems. I'm still not sure what the problem was with the other two. It's hard to believe that all 6 were bad downloads. I think you're probably on to something with the file system train of thought.

Either way, I'll give this ROM a try for a while. Thanks for all your help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] In_da_buff:
per the 5.5 thread - Bonsai recovery works best with the 5.5 Midnight fixed. CW wasn't working so great for lots of people.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderson620:
Thanks for pointing out the problems others were having. I actually was able to flash Frankenstein fine and SRF 1.2 fine today. At least I know that my phone's not jacked; I'll try Midnight again shortly I'm sure. I've always had good luck with Rob's ROMs. Thanks again everyone for the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] gruppe3942:
So what's the truth behind the signal. Is it as bad as the reviews?

Evo
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
0 problems with my signal .. i compared my 4g to 3d and they both had the same reception here @ work.
[HTC EVO 3D] DualSportDad:
I think It's fine....and I get bad signal in my house.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
3 bars at home, 3g/4g seems a little funky.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I'm interested in the Evo 4G/3D comparison too as I have an Evo 4G now and am thinking about the 3D. I live in a fringe area with 0-1 bars though (but I can still hold a call). Need to know how the 3D compares for cell call and also 3G signal retention compared to the old Evo. So please keep the replies coming!

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Zero issues, signal is actually better than my Epic here.
[HTC EVO 3D] parmend:
I talked to a sprint rep yesterday and because my signal at my house is bad they are sending me what's called a airave. They say its like having a cell tower in your house . It's suppose to boost your signal . It's complety free for two years , and if you don't like it you can send it back , no contract .
[HTC EVO 3D] nullkill:
Live where I get no signal and its doing great at least as well as its older bro

I think I may contact sprint about that.. my reception has always been poor here. Then again if you ain't Verizon your f*** around here
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
signal for me seems the same as all phones I have had, two bars and in the right spot three. I would say call quality is fine as well, I dont know what the reviewers thought was going to happen, a 3D phone call? lol
[HTC EVO 3D] snarebum:
yeah.. when i made my first call..everything i read about it came to mind and when i heard my gf spoke.. i was like wtf really? you call that bad? in my personal experience, I call that an improvement.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
agreed, a friend of mine has the iphone from verizon, not sure what it is but he sounds like **** over the phone! its hard to explain, i guess he sounds over-modulated. anyway i called him this morning to see if he had a drv receiver (work for directv), to my surprise his voice sounded so much better than on the 4G. i was stunned for a second, only thing i could say is "what", not because i didnt hear him. but because i was shocked ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] blacksuntzu:
The call signal is the same side by side with my Evo4g but the wifi signal seems to be stronger. On the top floor of my home I get 4-5 bars and the evo only got about 2. No issues here so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] ahess0815:
I have close to perfect signal at my house and I literally just watched my 3G shut off and now my EVO 3D says i have no voice signal either...wtf...tried updating the profile but doesnt seem to help. If I continue to have problems I guess I will have to swap for a new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] 4dthinker:
I'm in Sprint's home state, and although they don't list my town as having 4G coverage they are testing it here and sure enough 4G found a signal to connect with. 0 bars, but the web browser worked fine and so did my email client. 3G is a much stronger signal but didn't seem to be any better of a connection than I had when 4G was active and 3G was off. Phone signal wavers from 3 to 4 bars, and so far I haven't dropped a call.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjMoment:
I could be wrong, I don't know a ton about the data packet construction for cdma, but the way I understand it is... For cdma the number of bars is somewhat irrelevant when compared to the way a gsm network works. For cdma, its either connected or its not. For gsm, as signal strength drops calls get fuzzy and choppy, for cdma it will likely remain clear up until it is gone completely. So far the signal on my 3vo has been perfect. No complaints. If yours is dropping or having problems it may be a product defect.

Again, I may be wrong on my understanding if the technology, but for my experience it has held true.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
your getting screwed. i have had it for 4 yrs. old model then new. never paid a penny for it. it is free service. even shows as 0 on my sprint.com account.

For me the EVO 3d has been great "CLEARLY" better signal reception than my old EVO 4G, I think alot of those so-so negative were smoking wanky weed....I'm glad that I ignored them :) the EVO 3d rocks :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jdr227:
I'm having buyers remorse with this phone, I used to be able to talk on my EVO 4G in my house with no issues at all, but with this Evo 3D I can not hold a conversation in the house without dropping the call, even outside my house I'm having problems. I love the idea of dual cores and 3D but I also need to be able to use it at home, hopefully a radio update will fix this soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] arsmithsr:
My signal does seem better with the 3d than with the 4g I also mentioned the bad reception at home and sprint is sending me a free airwave as well no charge at all. Battery is tons better and the call quality is greatly improved over the 4g.

[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
I was concerned about call quality, but its fine. My signal is horrendous though. 1 bar everywhere and my EVO got 5.
[HTC EVO 3D] codee:
It seems if you are a signal bar whore, aka constantly watching it, people may think the signal is lower than the evo but using opensignal the readings are extremely comparable to the orig Evo it seems. The only time I notice a difference really is fringe areas - the Evo 3d switches to roaming in more places and faster then the Evo 4g ever did, but roaming is free so doesn't really matter even.

My only question/concern would be if too many people are roaming more often now due to reception issues, would sprint change the threshold that the phones start to roam at to try to stay on Sprint for longer? I doubt it but ya never know...
[HTC EVO 3D] CacheFlow:
I had the evo 4g for 13 months and had

no

issues. Now, with the 3d the phone never rings and all of a sudden I'll have 3-5 voice mails. Contantly people are saying that the phone goes straight to voicemail. That is when I started noticing the bars and the constant roaming. The sound quality is not as good either. It sounds garbled half the time.

I've had the phone for five days and I love the new features of the 3d but not at the sacrifice of poor reception. I have a business to run.

Seriously considering re activating the original 4g and putting the 3d up on ebay if problem persists.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgtcody:
2nd phone with signal issues

I'm on my second 3D with severe signal issues. I took the first one into Sprint and it failed all signal/radio tests and I suspect this one will be the same. I used to be able to stream music pretty much anywhere with my 4G but I haven't been able to stream music on my 3D unless I'm outdoors. I also never once dropped a call on my 4G and I lose calls all the time on my 3D.

I will try one more time to get a 3D that's not a lemon then will get a refund and reactivate my 4G.:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] pkny:
My signal strength is a usually around -100db to -110db.

I am in the DC metro area and my phone battery display has yet to show green on the signal strength.
[HTC EVO 3D] Phoenixhawk1976:
I'm not sure it's actually the signal. I had the Evo 4G, Home/Work/School. I always had full bars outside, 2-3 insides. Got my Evo 3D on launch, battery was draining in 2-3 hours, signal all over the place, and it was overheating because it never stopped searching. So after many soft and hard resets. I took it back and exchanged it for a different Evo 3D thinking the radio was bad. (At the time no signal problems reported) Second Evo 3D, doesn't overheat but sure enough, sitting in one spot it will go 6 bar, 2 bar, 0 bar...... 5 bar roaming, 0 bar...... 3 bar, 4 bar roaming...., after more resets, a trip to my sprint store, a trip a sprint repair store where they said it checks out. I loaded StMurray Cell Connectivity Tracker another app called OpenSignal. Both are showing the Evo 3D moving, and switching cell towers, rapid fire.

For example, looking at the recording it shows "Cell Location Changed" @ 2:06:07, 2:06:07, 2:06:07, 2:06:12, 2:06:14, and it's been sitting in the same exact spot since 7AM EST.

This is exactly what I'm experiencing. I will go to the Sprint shop today and swap one more time. There seem to be too few of us having problems for this to be a software-type issue... just a batch or two of lemons
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
dont know if this could be the cause of it but has anyone heard that all our evo3d's are having the wrong PRL on it? mine shipped with 21079 instead it should be 60679????.......
[HTC EVO 3D] sgtcody:
3D #3

Okay... I'm on my 3rd 3D now. This one seems to hold a tower a little better but the signal is still roughly half of what it was on my 4G. I'll know more once I'm at work but as of this moment it doesn't look too promising. Maybe it is that PRL issue or something. Looking at the other posts it doesn't seem to be a regional problem.

I have noticed that each phone has switched towers whenever it finds one with the same or better DBm strength. At my house, this causes it to alternate between three towers almost constantly. I feel this will be fixed by a radio update (or wherever those instructions live, I'm not sure).
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
How do you tell that it does this? Is there an app that tells you about which tower it is connected to?

This sounds like a great explanation for the problems I have. It gets the same dbm readings as my epic on average, but it is far more variable, which would happen if it spends its time continually switching between towers. It would also explain why the data is so damn slow at times - sprint has to route it through three towers at a time with the hopes that I am still connected to one of them.
