[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Yeah, I just completely wiped everything and installed a fresh rom and still nothing...could the radio's have something to do with it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I did that too.. No go.

I restored a sense rom, did a profile update, reboot.

Surprisingly, that seemed to work. Trying all the other things, I never did the profile update. So who knows... ymmv.. Good luck!

Btw, if you're on an airave, turn that off if you can when doing the profile update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Okay thanks I'll try that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
If you don't know what it is, you don't have one.

An airave is sprint's version of a femtocell. A mini tower that uses your cable/dsl connection and broadcasts a low power cell signal. Used for areas of no/weak signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Okay so I just tried it, and rebooted multiple times but still a no go. What version of sense did you do it on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I actually restored back to mik's 2.1 rom. Any sense should work though. Of course, as screwed up as this is, it could have very well been coincidence?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Hmmmm....okay, I think I'll try going back to a froyo rom and see if that works
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Okay I don't know I'm about fed up with this. I have tried everything and nothing works. The GPS simply won't pick up signal!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Okay just another update, still nothing is working still says searching for GPS none of the Gps apps pick up signal, could this be a hardware issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Lol, okay I know I am practically talking to myself, but I just remembered something. About 2 weeks ago I went to the Sprint service center to have my back camera lens replaced. However, I haven't used the gps for a few days after that, but later that week, I noticed that it wasn't working when using my jogging app on the phone. So today I read online that someone else was having gps issue also, and it was the fact that a little connection in their gps antenna came loose. It could possibly be that while repairing it, they accidentally knocked out one of the connections to the gps antenna. I think I'll head over there tomorrow.

Okay so I just got back from the sprint store. I told the guy about my problem. At first he insisted it was working because in Google maps it shown my location but then I informed him it was just satellite signal. Lol so anyway..after about 20 minutes they decided it just didn't work, they're ordering a replacement phone which should be in, in about a week. Lol fun stuff
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Glad you're getting it resolved.

As for me, anytime I have the device connected to the airave, the gps fails to acquire any satellite signal. As soon as I kill the airave and the phone connects to a tower, gps returns. This was not the case before, but the airave has been troublesome more times than not.

Practically however, you're obviously going to make use of the gps when not home, so it's somewhat of a moot point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Lol yeah...well at least hopefully the replacement phone will work well...now..I just have to deal with rootig that :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmaker:
Okay another update my phone came in early, and the GPS on this one works!!!!!! Yay!!! Lol..now i'm just waiting for a root method hahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
OK, so installed the initial OTA, and my software version is 1.13.651.7. However, anytime I go into HTC Watch to try and watch The Green Hornet, I get a "Update needed" message that kicks me to the screen to check for software updates. I click check now, and get the "no updates available..." message. Am I missing an OTA that my phone just can't seem to find, or is HTC Watch just broken?

Anyway, can someone who has taken all the OTAs check their software version number and let me know if it's different than mine?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] EvoSideHustlAZ:
i have the same software version and htc watch widget works for me.maybe try rebooting your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Tried that, over and over. Just doesn't want to work, I guess. Maybe I'll just take the phone in and get it replaced...
[HTC EVO 3D] EvoSideHustlAZ:
when i first took the update it keep telling me to update so i just canceled reboot then took the update and everything work fine.so can u watch any 3d stuff?youtube,greenhornet,or spiderma?
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Youtube and Spiderman work fine. The only issue I'm having is with Watch constantly asking me to update, and there not being an update available.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
R u using the original SD that came with the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
I've tried both the original SD and copying everything in the HTC Watch folder to my 16GB card, and both give me the "A software update is needed" error.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] piperp:
I have never rooted any of my Android devices because I've never really had any reason to. That and I was always nervous to do with my Droid Incredible even though I'm a computer guy.

However, I am considering rooting for this device because of some benefits I've read about such as:

1. Overclocking

2. Better battery life

3. Additional apps or functionality (I want to use Google Movies, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc and I am guessing root might help get some of this sooner based on some of the other threads)

My concern is whether overclocking has any risk to the processor long term in the tab? For some reason, I seem to have something in my head from years back that overclocking computers/devices could cause processors to overheat or something. Maybe this is an old concern from when I was in college that was specific to PC hardware?

Also, aside from sticky threads, is there any thing on the wiki that talks a bit more about some of the apps used to manage ROMs and backups along with what is preferred and why? I read a good rooting guide thread in Android development forum but apps change all the time and I read different things in each thread that it can be hard to follow jumping in now.

If I missed a thread, feel free to point me to it.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wesbalmer:
Overclock always carries risks to hardware, especially without proper configuration. When overclocking you will use apps such as SetCPU or others, these apps typically have 'profiles' set up. On my LG G2x I have profiles set like:

Default 1.5GHz

Screen Off 400mhz

Battery Tempurate 48c Downclock to 800mhz

These settings will give you great performance, great battery life and a safety net assuming you leave your phone in direct heat. Sometimes if the battery gets too hot you'll damage your hardware, I've had this happen to my old Nexus One where I now have a very dark spot measuring about half an inch around on my display.

In consideration to rooted apps for Galaxy Tab... Hulu works without root by simply installing a modified Adobe Flash Player and adjusting your browser configuration to reflect a desktop user agent (You can easily find all this information using Google). Google Movies probably won't be available to rooted devices due to the agreement that Google signed with production companies, and whether root will allow you to run this application really depends on the way the content is delivered, however, I'm sure someone will figure it out.

Overclocking the Galaxy Tab probably will resemble the performance measures of other Tegra based devices. G2x can acheive 1.5GHz and Xoom 1.7GHz. Stability is really hit or miss as no two cpu's are created equal. I'm on my third Galaxy Tab and my third G2x and have not ran into an issue where I can't overclock to the speeds which kernel developers are building.

Edit: There is really only one overclock kernel available right now for the 10.1 and Pershoot is working hard to make it stable and powerful, the current 'preview' has quite a few stability issues.

So, hopefully this helps you out. Just an FYI though, really try and search. This has been repeated hundreds of times throughout various different forums. The general consensus is that rooting provides far too many benefits to be afraid of hurting your device, and so long as your are able to A. Unroot the phone for manufacture warranty B. Backup and restore using Nandroid, you will not have any issues that can't be resolved.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mesasone:
Heat is bad for electronics, and any time you increase the operating frequency or voltage of a microprocessor, you're going to be generating more heat. Modern hardware has thermal monitoring and throttling capabilities, and as such you're going to be able to simply fry your processor by pushing it too hard. However the additional stress is is accumulative and will shorten the life of your hardware.

That being said, I suspect that the operational life time of the chips in our tablets (and virtually any modern computer) is several orders of magnitude longer than their useful life time. I'm not entirely sure how long these processors last if operated at spec (it may be in a white paper somewhere), but I suspect it is on the order of many decades, if not centuries.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wesbalmer:
mesasone, true it will generate heat at full load but in all reality my G2x rarely throttles all the way up to 1.5GHz unless I manual set it to for benchmarking.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] piperp:
Thanks wesbalmer and mesasone. I've been reading threads all day for the last 6 hrs before posting but I'll search a bit more next time. This was helpful in reassuring me though.

[Nook Color General] oman0123:
I have 2 nook colors one for me and one for my girlfriend, I am/was running CM 7 on them. Its been awhile since ive updated them. Ive tried the newest nightly and the latest STABLE release. Both got hung up on the same spot. The green CM logo will say its loading then it will go into a black screen lit by the backlight and just hangs there. no boot animation, no boot loop. Just sits there. Or It will just reboot itself back into clockwork after saying it installed the rom. Ive used the CWM removal and that made it just hung on a nook bootup screen.

Ive let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing. Im not new as ive rooted my og droid, my dx and 2 nook colors. I havent really had this issue with the nooks. not really sure what to do. Ive wiped data/cache formatted the symsted, data and cache and nothing.

My steps are as follows.

1)Download either Phiremod test 7 or ANY CM nightly

2) plug my data sdcard into my computer and transfer

3)boot into clockwork

4)Wipe pretty much everything (I also tried installing on top of the stable releases)

5)Install.

I know to expect issues but there HAS to be something im doing wrong that lets one nook install flawlessly and another nook that wont install any nightly or test build. If it didnt boot up they wouldnt leak the nightly. Its something on my end. I gotta figure it out

I also just went back to stock and re-rooted and I have the same issue
[Nook Color General] mazook98:
You probably have the wrong bootloader and kernel...the newest cm7s are based on the 2.6.32, not the older 2.6.29 (or something), and the newest 1.2 bootloader..which you probably don't have if it's "been awhile"..lol...You have to upgrade your Cwm first, from 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8, I think, then flash your Cwm to a nightly after 86??(Google to check), and it will change your boot partition to the correct one...If your nook still says "touch the future", you're on the wrong bootloader.....Also, quit using Phiremod.....it's a copy of Cm7 first of all, but by the time it's released, it's already outdated, it's not updated like it should be, and it's Douchey. Google the basics of what I described above if it sounds like that might be your problem and lmk how it works out for you....Btw....I used nightly 106 for this exact thing on another of my Nooks a few days ago and it worked flawlessly...There are newer nightlies out, but that one for sure worked.....
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
I might be confused; Is one of your Nooks OK or are they both refusing to boot anything based on the .32 Linux kernel?

As I read it you aren't having trouble loading either with 7.0.3 stable. Correct?

The only thing I could suggest is loading the stable version, downloading the latest nightly CM (skip Phiredrop's theme for now) DIRECTLY to the SD card (skip the computer step), and do a factory reset and format boot, system, data, and cache (all four).

Load just the nightly and gapps (save the OC kernel for later), and then see if THAT boots all the way up.

Of course make sure you have a full backup of the stable OS install before you start.

If none of that works, then prepare the SD card as an install card and try that. Do you have just the one card?
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
Thanks for the replies....I thought 3.2.0.1 was the newest clockwork? I guess I need to pay more attention to the nook. lmao Mazook I think you are on the right track. Also to the phiremod is that the og droid equivalent to UD? hahahaha I actually liked the look of phiremod but i digress...

On that note I installed the uboot 1.2 and flashed it and it still boots into clockwork but that maybe because I may be on an outdated cwm im the one i stated above
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
Ive tried all of that. hopefull mazooks way works. Otherwise im out of ideas
[Nook Color General] mazook98:
If I remember correctly, you can't just jump from 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.1.0 to newest...there's one in between that transitions the upgrade in bootloaders...I'm pretty sure I went 3.0.1.0 to 3.0.2.8 to flashing Cm7 nightly 106...then to upgrade to Cwm 3.2.0.1 while in Rom manager, while using Cm7....leSigh....Clockworkmod is the only thing I can't stand about using my Nook....(though I rarely need it any more) AmonRa is such a better (and fully functional) recovery build...One thing I wish we had gotten.....
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
What I did was....

back to stock today.

re-rooted.

installed Rom manager

Flashed Clockwork

It gave me 3.0.2.1

I searched for 3.0.2.8 and got posts back in december. Which one is it that i want?
[Nook Color General] mazook98:
While in Rom Manager, go to "flash older clockworckmod recoveries ".....then choose 3.0.2.8 (Make a nandroid first) and have all the stuff you want to flash ready to go on the SD...then go into recovery from Rom Manager, which will put you in 3.0.2.8......if that doesn't do it, try the same thing again, but go to 3.0.1.0 first....then, once you get into a working cm7 with 3.0.1.0, try it all again.(upgrade to 3.0.2.8 by" try it all again" , but this time from 3.0.1.0)...you're basically trying to reinstall your boot partition, but in a different location than where it is now...its a hassle, but you can do it through just rom manager.....it's just a hassle...
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
Well Id love to try that but.....My nook wont turn on. It was fully charged today. Im either gonna make a bootable cwm or go back to stock and root again. I dont know if that will work though because its not even powering up. :mad:
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
Ok....i think im making progess....The newest nightly just goes into a bootloop. better than a clockwork bootloop i guess..... any advice on how to get it to install properly? i feel like im making progress. normal bootloops are better than what i was getting
[Nook Color General] oman0123:
Bueller............Bueller lmao.

Seriously though.....if anybody can figure this out it would make my year
[Nook Color General] candyeve:
Try this, install stock 1.2....

boot it up, go through the annoying setup, log into google apps, then power down.

Boot into CWR SD, this should have the os that you want already on it, and the google apps file.

THen click install from zip, choose zip, install the OS, after complete install google apps, then restart without sd

Do not format anything, it should do the trick.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this site but I've been tinkering with my DX for a few months now. I hope you guys can help me solve something.

No matter what I do, I can't get the nav to go into night mode at night. I've tried uninstalling updates and installing again. No luck. I've been having this issue since I was on 588. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? It's very frustrating to have a bright light on your face when you drive. This was never an issue in froyo I don't want to go back to it but I might if this can't be resolved.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Got the E3D on launch date and I love every single thing about it. The only thing im waiting for now is root, but thats another thread & story.(BUMP, ROOTZ, I GOTZ THAT) Right before your screen gets ready to shut off, all the soft keys at the bottom would flicker letting you know that the timeout is about 3 to five seconds to hitting zero and shutting off completly. Tapping the screen right after the first flicker will cause the soft keys to flicker again letting you know you restarted the screen timeout to whatever setting you have it set to (15 secs, 30 secs, etc). I noticed this last night while reading a long article about a docter talking about 3D and the affects on the human eye. Dont worry, no damage from long term use, but reading long stories in the dark is where i see it coming in handy the most.
[Streak 5 General] Bayton:
I'm sat in traffic on a hot day (28*C) using my streak as a satnav and just had a message to say battery stopped charging due to overheating. I checked the status and it was at 59.8*C. I immediately turned it off and took it apart, putting the parts over AC.

My question now is, have I broked it? :(

Back on at the moment and sat at 39.9*C...
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
I don't think so friend. It protected itself and quit charging. Is it working now?
[Streak 5 General] Bayton:
It is working fine now, I'm just worried I've damaged it by allowing it to get to that temperature.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The entire point of having such a feature in the Streak is to prevent damage to the battery, not to mention prevent damage to you from a exploding battery.

You've done no harm to the Streak and no harm to the battery.
[Streak 5 General] Bayton:
I shall take your word for it.

Even though it did get extremely hot to the touch I imagine it takes a higher level of heat to do any damage..
[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
I had an iPhone and it would overheat and shutdown regularly. Never had any long term damage or problems... Well other then it being an iPhone.
[Streak 5 General] Bayton:
While it is ok to compare, I'd rather compare one streak to another, who knows if there are more delicate parts susceptible to overheating in the dell than another? :(
[Streak 5 General] p_razzi:
I've started seeing a lot more total device crashes of late. I can't help but think it's temperature related and GPS is the main culprit. I have it in the car with an official Dell holder. Even with AC on, the sun on the holder doesn't seem to help, but I can't help but feel the design restricts airflow and cooling.

Normal operating temp seems to be around 91f. Running GPS takes it to over 95f. This is going to be a problem since ambient temperature here in NY is often in the high 90s during the summer. It crashes without GPS running too when hot, but I'm sure the GPS chip generates a lot of heat and exacerbates the problem.

Set cpu is restricted to a max 1GHz. Running DJ's 1.9.0.
[Streak 5 General] trexc832:
I was having that problem idk get stuck at the dell logo alot...I called dell and got a warrenty exchange...if your in a year of buying it I'd suggest it...got my streak in 3 days its a refurbished model but he'll it looks good and and works...when mine was overheating I had to use a 20 dollar samsung phone cause mine got so bad...once it overheating its all downhill from there
[Streak 5 General] Bayton:
Mine has only done so once while in traffic on one of the warmest days of the year so far. Since then it has not gone above 34*C. I've moved the streak car holder to a position over a vent which blows cool air directly onto it should I get another day like this.

Hopefully it wont happen again, but should it do so I will get on the blower to Dell.

[EVO 4G General] redhatter:
OK quick question...because I am finding conflicting information on the web

All agree that you cannot root Gingerbread 2.3.3 yet directly

…but….

…can you roll Gingerbread 2.3.3 back to Froyo 2.2?

Then root Froyo?

Most seem to say no you cannot roll back (including Sprint...I tried them)

But this guy is saying yes you can…(watch video and go pass his joking around at first) htcevohacks how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-2-3

I would like other opinion if this is doable? (and have done it) I want to root but took the ota 2.3.3 before I got around to it

...Im not sure I trust this guy know all that going on to try this and not end up bricking my phone....

I want more than one opinion before I and othet's get walked off a cliff if it is wrong

Again this is for a evo that has neve been rooted but bone stock that took the OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3 can you roll back to Froyo, then root Froyo... or is there a big "gotya!" hiding?

Im a Network Engineer and don’t do jack on production gear (in this case my own phone;) till I know what's going on backwards and forwards
