Will try this weekend another SD card and start from scratch, see if it works!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CandyBear:
odd.... I was about to try a new SD card but then suddenly, my phone was running whatsapp very smooth.

What did I do? Basicly nothing.. I only stopped using the app UberMusic (still installed on my phone though).

Instead of lagging whatsapp, my entire phone becomes laggy when listening to music and receiving a whatsapp message (happens sometimes, not all the time). My phone doesnt respond to anything, music is played in slow motion. After 5 minutes it recovers it self or goes into a reboot.

at least Whatsapp isn't lagging anymore :')

Sounds like the typical BS that we've all gotten. I'm glad they know how the f to run a good business.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
They admitted it's their towers to us in the "data speeds wtf?" thread several months ago...

In fact, they are supposed to call me Thursday about the issue because they claim it will be fixed then for my area.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
They've called me twice after my email to them, but I haven't been able to answer or get the lady when calling back yet...

[EVO 4G General] someonenewhere:
They told me that I have "GREAT 4G" in my area...

I have to go on the main road 2 blocks up from my home to get full 4G bars..

outside my house i get 1 bar and inside my house...NOTHING, it connects and disconnects right away...
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
I usually blame any type of signal issue on towers and it turns out to be a tower issue most of the time.

Id honestly rather it be a tower issue than something going on with the phone, makes my job harder.

whaaaaaagggghhhhh lol i can honestly say a rep spent an hr gettin my gf a better tower she lives a lil ways from me atm so her towers diff and have u ever thought maybe your house/appt sux her house is completely anti technology so her sig is deff suffering in the house outside on the doorstep full bars...so instead of bein a whiney ass ***** omg sprint sux think bigger if thats possible..:mad:

[General Topics] regP:
Ok I'm pretty pissed. Got my lady a Mytouch 4g 3 months ago and it no longer wants to recognize when its connected to USB or AC anymore. Definitely a hardware issue. So I call tmo to get any exchange but they have none left due to the age of the phone. Usually in these cases they offer an equivalent exchange.. Only problem with that is all the phones they have that they consider compatible to the MT4G are ALSO no longer in stock due to age. I got off the phone with the lady before my language started to get ugly..

Any suggestions on how to go about handling this? I think I read somewhere on xda that someone had a similar situation and after enough complaining tmo offered to give them a new G2x or Sensation free of cost but with a contract extension.. Any advice would be greatly appriciated. I plan on going to a tmo store and dealing with this this weekend.
[General Topics] TacoSandwich85:
Dude that sucks! They are TOTALLY BS-ing you. I exchanged my MT4G just last week, granted I did it in store and then they shipped the phone. I would recommend going in-store. Good luck

I keep getting this random toast notification saying "Network error." I have no idea what triggers it, because I could be looking at galley pics and no sync running, and it pops up. I've updated prl and profile, but it still randomly pops up. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
from what i can tell, its when an application at the time is trying to access the NET and at the very moment, you simply dont have a connection to the internet, you could be switching from 4g to 3g or you simply have no network access.

happens to me when i switch from 4 to 3g and an application is trying to get online.

Thanks. Glad it isn't a thing I need to worry about.

[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
This problem started tonight. I just returned my first EVO 3D on Monday morning, because of problems. I am on second EVO 3D. The first EVO 3D I got on the 24th had intermittent charging problems, where the light wouldn't go on all the time, and had problems charging. It turned out to be a bad port. I had no problems exchanging that EVO 3D. The second one seemed to be fine all day Monday and shut down and charged with not problems Monday night. Today I used it all day and just went to shut it down just like I always do, and plugged it in to the charger. No red light came on at all. I said, oh no, hear I go again. I went to turn on the EVO 3D and nothing happened. I would not start at all. I decided to pull the battery out and put it back in after a minute, and, of course, everything is fine now, at least for tonight. If this happens again, tomorrow night, Wednesday, I will bring it back to Sprint for one last exchange. This time I will try another Sprint Corporate store, instead of the one I got the first two. Hopefully the third time the charm. After three exchanges, I will give up on the EVO 3D, and probably wait until the Motorola Photon comes out. I really hope this doesn't happen, because I really don't like BLUR and I do like the EVO 3D.

Anyone else who had this problem in the last few days, are you still having this problem or have you already exchanged it?

I am hoping this is a one time thing,
[HTC EVO 3D] gmelchert:
Try turning fastboot off. It's under power in settings
[HTC EVO 3D] AssassinsLament:
On some phones, there is an issue where if the USB cable is plugged in, you won't be able to turn on the phone. Had this weird issue myself, but realized it's the USB cable.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
check your mem card.

if you've had 2 devices do this I'd say the device is not likely the issue.

or its possible this was patched in the OTA updates

try it without your mem card

change your usb cable

change your outlet your using.
[HTC EVO 3D] blooregard_q_kazoo:
i had the same thing happen to me within an hour of getting my phone on launch day. took it right back and they swapped it out for a new one.

they said i was the only person this happened to, but i said check the internet, its happening to others.

they tried the taking out mem card, new mem card, diff cable, pulled the battery out and put it in a new 3d and it worked, so its not the battery, letting it sit for a while, nothing.

i think something just fries on the motherboard and kills the phone randomly, but if it doesn't happen within a few hours or so of you getting the phone you should be good.
[HTC EVO 3D] DaYoung1:
I find it real funny that people are so butt hurt when things happen to a phone when it first releases lmao. Come on now its new tech you guys go through all the trouble of exchanging things when it doesn't work to your liking when you should know off top that it ain't gonna be perfect when you first get it.
[HTC EVO 3D] blooregard_q_kazoo:
when you say "aint work to your liking", you know were talking about not working at all right :)
[HTC EVO 3D] superman_legendary:
I had a defective one that kept rebooting and i was using it on the charger. The finally it stopped rebooting but then screen would stay black but still backlit after Sprint message. Sometimes you just get a defective product out a bunch since things are made in bulk you usually find out in the first few days while charging. Happens on a lot things. Haven't any problems with my second. Btw photons tegra 2 isn't even close to as powerful as the Snapdragon 3 so you would be getting a lesser phone months later.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
This happened to me earlier today. I powered it off to save battery for later since it was getting low. When I went to turn it on... it just wouldn't turn on. After pulling the battery, it turned on right away.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
The first EVO 3D that I returned on Monday only had an intermittent charging problem. I never had a problem of it not turning on, it just would not charge at times. The one that I got as a replacement, brand new EVO 3D, worked great yesterday, with no problems. I shut it down like I normally would do at the end of the day. The battery level was at 20%. I plugged in the battery charger (HTC one that came with the phone) and nothing happened. I then switched to two different outlets. Still the same. I got a different USB cord to see if it was the cord. Still the same problem. I had a travel charger, and tried it to see if that would make a difference. Nope, it still didn't work. So, that is when I decided to pull the battery. After pulling the battery and putting it back in, everything worked fine. I did notice that the phone was warm last night after extensive use of the phone all day. My daughter and I put it through the ringer, testing all the different features, ie, games, pictures, movies, internet, email, music, etc. The battery life was actually great yesterday. I do have the Otterbox Commuter Case on the phone if that makes a difference.

This morning after recharging, the phone turned on with no problem. I will have to see if it does it again tonight, or was it a small glitch. I guess this is why I have a 30 day return/exchange policy. I did do everything that people had suggested. I put in a 16 GB 6 speed microSD card in it, and tried the 8 GB that came with the phone also.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
Problem might be caused by Update!! Read My last post.

A little update. I was on the phone with Tech support about the problem of the phone not starting up and the battery pull was the only way to get it to work. So he wrote down all the of what I did. He had me shut the phone down to see what would happen, since I had it on since early this morning. Sure enough, it wouldn't start again. He told, don't do anything and leave the phone alone and go to the Sprint store to exchange it. Well, I am now off to the store to get my 3rd EVO 3D. Hopefully 3 is my lucky number. Anyone else having this many problems. I must be the most unluckiest person.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
This happened to me today. I was on the phone, battery died. I plugged it into the car charger, never got a charging light. Waited till I got home and put it on my home charger, no light. Pulled battery, back to normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] newvet:
I had the same troubles. Wiped phone took updates and it was fine for a few hours then Frozen. Sprint sending me out a new one. Hopefully second times a charm.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
This happened to me today, but differently. I had about 35% left on my battery, so I plugged it into my work computer to charge before I left for the day. I had left it alone for a few minutes, and went to go check Facebook. Interestingly, it wouldn't turn on, nor was the charging light on. I pulled it off the cable, still wouldn't turn on. Pulled the battery, put it back in, wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in, and the computer recognized it like it was turned on. It tried to install drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD. But the screen wouldn't come on, nor would the charging light come on. Ended up having to take it to the Sprint store and they gave me a new one.

Definitely a shocking experience for a phone only 6 days old.
[HTC EVO 3D] campchi:
I have no problem from day 1
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
SAME thing happened to me, needed a replacement :)

and here was my experiment (Across multiple posts, none of which gathered many ****ing replies. Interesting how this one is)

At first I thought it had to do with my 32gb memory card, then I thought it had to do with fast boot, then I thought it had to with hacking, then I thought it had to do with certain cables, then I thought it had to do with the extension cord, then I thought it had to do with using a USB 3.0 extender cable. Needless to say it was none of those.

Check my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137683

I could reproduce this every single time without fail as long as I had fast boot off and powered down the phone with the charger in it.

After a while of trying to understand the cause, I broke it even more to the point where it wouldn't turn on regardless if I had a memory card in there or not, as long as a cable was plugged into the charging port, it would cease to turn on! At any rate, I went to the Sprint Store yesterday, and none of the floor models had that issue so I swapped it out. After battling it out with a Sprint Tech who thought he knew what he was doing, he eventually caved--as if I couldn't get a replacement anyway since within 30-day return policy. So far, my new EVO 3D isn't doing this, but you best believe if it does, I'm returning it and getting a Nexus S 4G instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
I'm not sure if I should try a hard reset to see if it'll fix it... or just ask for a replacement.
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
I had something weird happen. Not exactly the same issue, but odd. My phone has been giving me awesome battery life, I typically have been getting 16 hours of medium or so use. I charged my phone to full and took it off the charger at 1am to put by my bedside so I can use the alarm clock. I wake up late, my alarm didnt go off, so I click the power button on the phone and nothing happens. Phone wont turn on, I tried a battery pull.

I took the phone to a Sprint store and the tech tells me it powered up when he plugged it in, and that my battery had died during the 7 hours it was sitting on my night stand, and I've been getting over 16 hours a day on the battery. I found this odd, he put it on the charger for 15 minutes and my phone was at 50% battery so I dont really believe that it was a completely dead battery. There are some weird issues with the phone, and I rely on it for my alarm. Should this happen again, I'll probably return the phone and just wait for newer hardware revisions, as I love the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
Well, I got my third replacement EVO 3D today. I took it to the Sprint Corporate store that I got the first two. I went right to the Manager and had her help me with the phone's problem. She said there was no problem in exchanging the EVO 3D after seeing it not start up. She pulled the battery, just like I told her she should do, and said it most likely would work fine after the pull. Sure enough it worked again. I talked to her about what would be causing the problem with now two returned phones. She said that other Managers were talking to her about the problem, and they believe that it was caused by the update Sprint and HTC pushed to the phone . She told me I should not do the update for the phone until a new update comes out. I am going on Vacation in two days and I need to make sure I have a working phone, so if my phone will work without the update, that is what I will do. Sprint hasn't admitted yet there is a problem, but it sounds like internally they know something is wrong. If anyone else is having this problem, I would go to Sprint store or wherever you got the phone, and get a new phone and not update until a new update is available. I intend to call Sprint and let them know after a week or two, if my phone is working properly, that the update was most likely the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] aikman:
What's the AC charger you use? I cannot meet this issue with HTC EVO 3D official AC charger. Maybe you use another brand's Micro USB charger but not HTC EVO 3D official AC charger.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
I am using the official charger and cable. I do have the travel charger I bought for the EVO 4G last year. The Manager did say that there was no change to the chargers that the EVO 4G used and EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfine1966:
One day in, and so far my 3rd EVO 3D is working fine. I haven't had any problems, yet. The only problem is that I can't watch the The Green Hornet, because it won't let me watch unless I do the update, which the Sprint Manager said to hold off on.

Something that has bothered me about this being software related is that it should of effected everyone, especially if it is software related. Doesn't everyone have the same phone with the same hardware? If a software update did this, than most units should have this problem. I am starting to think there was a bad batch of EVO 3D's (just like the EVO 4G had last year) that was released, possibly with a bad power button. It could be some sort of power relay problem in the phone that is shorting it out. Either way, I am still leaning towards a hardware problem as to a software problem. I am going on vacation and would possibly like to watch the movie, especially I have a long 9 hour ride. Do you think I should do the updates or just wait?
[HTC EVO 3D] knightresearch:
First won't charge / turn on this morning.

After 10 days with the EVO 3D, I also had this problem. And pulling the battery and restarting fixed it. I have Fastboot turned off. Using the Seido wall charger that I used flawlessly with the EVO 4G. I did use the camera last night. I believe it to be unstable in places, and could have contributed to other O/S problems. Swype periodically won't trace.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
This happened to me also, I got an exchange and the new one doesn't do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dmcduck:
I've had the swype-trace problem a couple of times. Selecting a different input method then re-selecting swype fixes it.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
All updates and no problems. Since premier day.

I feel bad for you guys don't settle for anything less.

I am grateful my phone is trouble free. *knocks on wood*
[HTC EVO 3D] knightresearch:
TWICE - won't power-on without battery pull in 25 days.

Update: July 18th.

My phone didn't charge overnight again, and wouldn't turn on...2nd time this has happened. Pulling the battery and reinserting fixed the problem. Just talked to Best Buy rep. They appear to be unaware of this problem, but will replace the phone under the 30 day moneyback guarantee. I can add their $10/month Black Tie warranty for free replacement after the 30 days (this friday). I may bail on the phone and go back to the EVO 4G...it was working flawlessly.

BB did say that Sprint is putting out a Hardware flash update on August 15th to allow more 3D content to run on the phone. (perhaps it will have the rumored boot loader unlock also).
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
First time I heard of this update. Think they gave you a rough date like HTC gave us.... Yea by mid August you will have your Damn bootloaders lol......
[HTC EVO 3D] knightresearch:
BestBuy only said the Firmware update was to allow more 3D content providers to work on the phone. Apparently only Sprint's encryption is supported for 3D content. This will allow other providers to put out 3D movies for the EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
try taking out your sd card
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Thanx man, sounds promising. Now the wait lol
[HTC EVO 3D] BobbyWilde:
Woo

Well thanks to you guys I know I'm not crazy. Mine is doing same thing, after turn off just wont turn on until I take out the battery. I wouldn't think it was an update that I did (since I recently did a complete wipe) but perhaps it is. Also, there was one time I woke up to a dead phone and could have swore that I put it on the charger. So I guess that is par with the course as well.

Dang, I just rooted and now I'm feeling I might need to do an exchange. I better go check when my 30 days are up. lol Here is hoping round 2 is better.
[HTC EVO 3D] sn0b0ard:
It sounds like you are experiencing the same issue that I was having with my phone.

The cause appears to be the battery being loose and not making full contact with the terminals when in the phone.

I posted a thread on how I fixed it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196380
[HTC EVO 3D] ashman2k2:
I've had my Evo3D for about 2 weeks now and have experienced the same issue.

I've contacted my store to have it replaced. Although last night for the first time it did not have the issue after dying..

sn0b0ard - Our problem is when the phone runs out of battery and powers down, the phone does not accept a charge or turn on without removing&installing the battery. It seems like you described a different scenario where the phone randomly restarted, which is not the case here.
[HTC EVO 3D] CSDeeds:
I've had my Evo 3D for about a week now and have been experiencing similar problems. Four times now I'm gone to click the button to wake the phone up and nothing happens. I've held the button down thinking it shut off for some reason but no luck there either. The only way I can get the thing to come back on is to pull the battery, wait a bit, and then put the battery back in. It will boot up again with no problem.

This seems to happen randomly and for no reason and its driving me nuts! I got the phone on ebay. Does Sprint let you exchange a phone if you didn't get it through them?

I really love this phone, though, definitely a worthy upgrade to my Evo 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] burnnhell:
I just got mine 2 days ago and updated right away since it said it had a software update. I immediately started to get the random lock up issues resulting in the need for a battery pull. I just did a full wipe and am going to go without the update to see if it is possibly the cause. I am also in the "bought it on ebay" boat...though it was brand new never opened box I am pretty sure unless you play super dumb (my parents gifted me this and said they bought it at a sprint store) I dont see them giving you the same level of service that you would get had you really bought it at a sprint store.

I am just keeping my fingers crossed that skipping the update works.
[HTC EVO 3D] pinky059:
Are you guys rooted? I meantioned this as a bug in alpharev initial release of root, but, IEF explained to me that the phone goes into a "non-existent" recovery and is actually still on while charging, while on either AC or USB. Not sure if has been confirmed or not, but, it's pretty much been happening to me since being rooted, whether temp or not.

And yes, fastboot is turned off in settings, I am running the original, OTA updated stock ROM with some MODs I made myself after root.

It's something about how HTC see's there is now a recovery installed after bootloader flash for S-OFF and attempts to load it by itself when plugged into any sort of AC current. Problem is, it's not HTC recovery so it can't get to it. BEFORE ROOT, if you tried recovery, you got the red triangle with nothing on it. NOW after ROOT, it knows there is a recovery, but can't get it to it to load, does nothing but looks like your phone is completely off.

IEF gave me some great detail about it a while ago, like I said, during initial release. Seems to make some sense, cause if you just pull the charger out, wait maybe 10-15 seconds or so, you can boot without even having to do a battery pull.

Hope this explains and helps some people. Once he explained to me, I do exactly what I just said, wait for a few seconds after pulling the plug and press power and it boots fine everytime.....

;)
