I think that's your problem right there. I remember back when the phone was first released, that people were deleting that as part of the "get rid of bloat" phase, and running into problems as a result.

"nonchalantly looking at the thanks button..."

And by the way, you CAN remove DriveSmart (or freeze it, rather). I've done it since KC1 and it hasn't affected a single thing. The camera bug would have nothing to do with that.

Aside from the bible, i have a tiny little eency weency quickstart guide heeeere.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
Hi all,

Within the past week or so, I've noticed a fairly large drop in the signal strength from both my wireless lan and 3g signals. With the cell signal, it was even dropping to edge sometimes when I was outside in an area which used to give me full bars. Wireless isn't much better, and it seems to be fluctuating between 4/5 signal and 2/5 signal even though I'm close to my router. Again, I used to have full signal in the same location. Nothing really would have changed.

Yesterday I tried flashing Continuum (2.3.4) instead of running the stock 2.2 that I had before. The 3g signal seems to be *slightly* more consistent, although I'm still not at full bars, whereas I always was before.

Is this a common occurrence? Is it my hardware, and can I fix it myself, or do I need to send it in to Rogers? I've only had the phone for about 6 months now. I wonder if it's under warranty still (assuming I flash back the original ROM and bootloader).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. It's odd, but the wifi signal almost gets boosted when I'm trying to use the internet, but not to full bars even when I'm near the router.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
Bump. Is this the wrong place to ask this question?

Cheers
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GFunkOfLex:
My AT&T Captivate has similar issues. Mine started about a month ago. I haven't put any effort into figuring out the root cause.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
Yeah, I'd really like to figure out what's up though. Does the hardware just crap out after a few months of use? Thanks samsung!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda703:
This trend happened with my HTC Aria as well. I don't believe its anything related to Samsung hardware crapping out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
So, if it's software, what would be consistent across a ROM and kernel flash?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsushitman:
I recently fixed a network error effecting call quality by flashing a new modem. I know our issues are different, but since you did flash new ROM i dont think it could hurt.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda703:
Stumbled across this article on Toms Hardware today and felt like it was a good read for this thread.

http://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/571-wi-fi-beamforming-networking.html
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
Unfortunately it's not just my wifi that has issues, but 3g as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Have you tried flashing a different modem? The one that came with your current rom may be different than you had before which would account for your weaker signals. Different modems work better in different areas. Try something else and see if it doesn't help, such as JK4 or JL3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
I haven't yet, but I actually had the problem before I flashed the ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redkenji:
Where are you located. I have absolutely ATROCIOUS reception in Atlanta, and ATT says they have some 50 towers down. Your area might be the same. In my basement where I used to have 3 bars consistently, i know have to run around the basement struggling to get one bar to send a text. ATT needs to get their act together or everyone might start switching to Verizon.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucky75:
In Toronto, Canada. We usually have good reception. It's only recently that I have had issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redkenji:
check with other people such as your family and see if they have bad service too, if so call your service provider, there may be an issue on their end. Other than that all I can suggest would be a full reset to factory and a master clear and then restart from there. While that is annoying, it might be worth it to solve the problem.

[HTC Sensation] wanted008:
I have just realized that on the sensation the up/down left/right arrows have been removed.

I absolutely hate this the arrows were supposed to make up for the scrolling ball in the middle. It seems like HTC have stoped listening to the customers, this is not good.

What do others think of this change?
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
same here, i had that keyboard on my HD2, and its pretty much custom for the DHD sense 2.1...i have the file, but no way to add it to /system yet

fre3dom to the rescue!
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
This is a gingerbread thing, not a sensation thing. Download a different keyboard from the Market with arrows.
[HTC Sensation] wanted008:
I understand its a gingerbread issue, I would have preferred if it was a system standard.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
i was just being excessively specific, it was in most froyo builds, but i just posted the one i used the most...

as for keyboards on the market with arrows on the bottom, there arent any as far as i could see, and i tried 6 of them. only 1 had arrows, and they were on the right, and couldnt be rearranged

if anyone knows of one, paid or free, it would be very helpful, thx
[HTC Sensation] Honestly77:
Try a keyboard called thumb keyboard. Gives the option in the setting to have the cursor row keys in portrait no landscape though. Better then nothing.
[HTC Sensation] Flashmore:
Swiftkey is also a very very good ime with an intuitive UI. Oh and has the option to add arrows.
[HTC Sensation] alex6137:

The Desire HD ports of Sensation IME with Trace, etc HAS the Keys.

Thanks alot mate for telling me about this keyboard. I will be useing the gingerbread keybord instead of the sensations keyboard. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
I hated those arrows. I like the sensation keyboard because it doesn't have them.
[HTC Sensation] wanted008:
Without the arrows its so uncomfortable it is very difficult and slow to amend an error just by useing the cursor. I hope the arrows are back in the next update.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I couldn't decide if I wanted the arrows or not. They're very helpful, but take up too much space. So I just pull the spacebar when I need them.

What do you mean "pull the spacebar"?. Is this a stock keyboard trick?

[General Questions and Answers] sclhou:
I flashed the wrong version of the synergy rom on my evo and now cant get anything to work. shows s-on now and recovery is not working. it wont flash a new pc image or recognize the sd card. I cant find a download for unrevoked. any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] sclhou:
OK. Fixed my own problem. For those of you who brick this way; or any other. Grab PC36IMG file from this link androidcentral.com/evo-4g-root-instructions.

Place on root of SD card. Volume down/power button at same time to boot into bootloader. It will ask if you want to install the update. Say yes. When done it will ask to reboot. You will now have a re-rooted phone.

You may have to flash a recovery image. Go to Amon Ra and grab from there. You will need to name it PC36IMG and again place on root of sd card. Update as above. Should be good to go.
[General Questions and Answers] Hocevar:
I recently upgraded my Defy to CM7 but when I try to make it import my contacts from the SIM card it says there is none.

I'm sure there were some contacts there since I used that SIM card on an old phone, is there a way for me to get these contacts back ?

ps: Unfortunately my contacts weren't on my google account, for another reason, so there is no way to get them there.
[General Questions and Answers] dari0:
The same thing has happened to me but I deleted them from your phone happens to me sometimes when I turn off or reboot. However, not have them stored on a file in memory card?
[General Questions and Answers] Hocevar:
No, unfortunately I don't have any kind of backup, that's why I wanted to know if there isn't a way to check if those contacts are still there, or some kind of tool to get them back.

What I don't understand is how they disappeared, I never deleted them or messed with the SIM options.

[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
Given the recent run of battery posts, i thought i would join in. Yes you read it correctly; 98% after 5 hrs on battery. Thats with an up-time of 8:20, and an awake time of 1:51. During that time i checked and replied to a couple of emails(opened a photo attached) looked at pics in the gallery, and watched a 30 second video w/max volume three times. Also checked the weather several times to update the 5-day forecast.

So whats the secret? Dont open up any of the other screens after you reboot. Or, you can remove whatever you have on there and have only one active screen.

Heres the proof ( sorry about the crappy pic, all i had was my old Hero)
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
How do you do it can you explain a little better
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Well, I don't have a picture, but my battery is down 2 bars on the screen you are showing...so roughly 80% I guess. I have up time showing 39:17:xx and awake time of 12:51:xx. I've looked at some pictures of my cat several times (had to put him to sleep yesterday due to a degenerative disc disease that finally damaged his spinal cord to where he couldn't walk anymore :( ) I did a lot of texting, e-mailing, some web surfing, and updating some programs from the market. I also talked on the phone for about an hour.

What did I do for this? Well, the only account sync I have is GMail, all the other crap is turned off. I have the LCD brightness locked at about 20% (auto brightness unchecked), I use WiFi whenever possible since 3G sucks the battery, and the only widget I have running is the HTC Sense weather/clock thing. It is set to update every 4 hours. Otherwise pretty basic stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
Uptime and awake time don't mean anything in regards to your claim. That just means, since you last rebooted your phone has been up for 8 hrs 20 min, etc. What you have to show to backup your claim is the time since unplugged...
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Well, I don't really have to prove anything to you. We are not in court and I am not on trial. However, I can tell you I wake up every morning at 7:30 and unplug my phone which means, at the very least, the awake time is accurate. I didn't realize up time was only since last reboot. But still, sitting at 8/10 bars at 13 hours. If you don't believe it, then don't.
[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
OK, so its was on battery for 5 hours and I unplugged it at that time. Im not trying to brag, cause frankly the battery was pretty crappy for the first week. I believe the stand-by time on this phone is awesome, Im more concerned about how fast the battery drains once you start using it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
When you reboot your phone, the only active screen is the home screen. If you long-press the Home button, you will see the other six screens blank. I left the other screens the way they came from the factory and found out that if you even look at them once, they seem to remain active even if they are not being updated.

I was charging my phone before I went to bed, and waking up with 95% (yes I minimized all the background updates). Then I would drive to work with BT on and it would go to 93%. 12 hours later, after two text messages and two voice mails, Im at 70%. Sure my up time was 19 hrs, but my awake time was 40 minutes max. So basically you need to keep everything but the essentials off your screens. This is my experience, as im sure there are people out there on 4G 8 hrs a day who come home with 50%+ on their phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
Can I put apps on those screens so basically no widgets on any screen but the home
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
You don't have GPS enabled. That's cheating.

3G (or WiFI, 4G enabled) GPS, auto sync, backlighting, widgets, exchange, twitter, facebook, live wallpaper, all the reasons we bought the phone?! Those should be running at all times. (Otherwise, what exactly is the point? Srsly?)

If the battery life is still 3 hours then I am expecting a phone that hasn't and won't be built for 20 years.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I think we use our phones very differently. I like those features but I don't have them on all the time. I use the GPS when I need to use a GPS. I look at FB or Twitter when I have time to look at them. Live wallpaper, while cute, doesn't do much for me. Exchange and Gmail push is about all I use regularly.
[HTC EVO 3D] sweteg:
I get about the same when I'm working a 10-14. That's with checking exchange email, background sync and data on, sending texts on a normal basis, brightness about 30-40%, checking fb, etc etc. Battery doesn't drain much at all for me while it's sleeping which is great when I'm working these shifts and don't care to bring a charger.

Using GPS with location on and Sprint Navigation will drain that beast though, but that's expected.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
Damn your finely worded post. Now I feel the sudden urge to re-evaluate my obsession with live wallpapers so I don't feel like a lame kid that likes something "cute"

!@#$
[HTC EVO 3D] remmus2k:
I had a epic 4g with extended battery 3500 mah and I would constantly use the phone even while at work.. At the end of the day my battery would be at 50%. On my evo 3d I use the phone even more now because its new and my battery would still be 50 % at the end of the day.

Fairly impressed
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
Doesnt the GPS only draw power if an app is actually using it at the time? So does it matter if you leave it on
[HTC EVO 3D] remmus2k:
Im pretty sure that if you leave your GPS on it will be put into "stand-by" mode, which in effect draws power. I could be wrong tho
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
that aint proof at all

use a program like battery status, that'll actually tell us how long its been since it was off the charger

but even from this, shows your phone doing a lot of sleeping

we'd be more impressed with a lot of battery left after actually USING the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] kilik64:
I shut everything off that im not using. Only time my battery life sucks is when Im at work and get very low signal. That drains the crap out of the battery.

Plus I use Juice Defender, seems to provide some improvement.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
After being unplugged and having used it as I described, after 20 hours I still had 68% of my battery charge. I don't have juice defender, but I made the adjustments I mentioned and the one I forgot to mention is I also turned off location services.

So far I am pretty happy with the battery life, but I also remember with the Epic I had amazing battery life for a month or so and then it was more like what is "average" for that phone. I'm no scientist, but I would guess that brand new lithium batteries do a little better and then when the chemicals start breaking down you lose that "little extra."
[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
Sorry, I guess I should have included two pics. I do have battery status and it showed 5:05 since off the charger. I chose to post the other pic since I thought it meant more in terms of use. Sure it doesn't tell you how I was using it, just that it want sleeping for half of that time. Im not trying to impress anyone, i just thought it was a huge improvement from the past week where 5 hours off charger showed 70% battery left with only 40 minutes of up time (which resulted form a couple of VM and texts). So my point was along the lines of; more use, but huge improvement in battery consumption.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
20hours, and almost 70% left?

i say super BS

because you know at that rate you can go almost 3 days with no charge right?

i know the evo 3d battery has bout 150 more mah then the 4G, but c'mon son
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
Again, believe what you want, I could care less. I have no reason to mislead or lie. I didn't USE it for 20 hours. It sat idle for most of the evening (who the hell am I going to call in the middle of the night?).

You seem to have this idea that if anyone has an experience that is different from yours, then they MUST be lying. Well hey, good for you and your belief system.
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
Clearly you do care, else you wouldn't be on here saying that over and over.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
How does sharing information with other people, such as yourself and the many others on here, have anything to do with caring? If I "cared" I would start making photos of my screen, loading up battery monitoring crap, and playing his game of "prove it."
[HTC EVO 3D] patelkedar91:
Wish we had root so we could post screenshots.

Umm and I can make it through a day if I don't use my phone either.

But when I use it and get minimal usage on 3G, then something is wrong.

Just waiting for some ROMS to help my battery.

Edit: And thread will not go anywhere if you guys lie and accuse others of lying. So try to keep this a productive little chat about battery life. =/

You know what, **** it. I'm on so many other forums on here for different devices, but so many of the people in the Evo 3D forum are complete ****ing idiots.

You're right...I must have lied. Perhaps I was on drugs or in a state of delusion that has persisted since I got the phone on the 30th. My charge has never gone below 60% on any day I've been using the phone. I unplug it when I wake up and I plug it in when I go to bed. Last night I had trouble sleeping, so yeah...I was up from 7:30 AM to 3:30 AM this morning...but there could be no ****ing way I'm telling the truth.

I am also getting pretty decent battery lufe considering we are running a dual-core processor.

If you are on Sprint and came from Evo, invariably you will be comparing battery life to Evo, which was HTC's one of the first wholesale implementation of post-1GHz processors (including Desire or Inc).

So my point is that HTC must have learned alot on how to implement kernels for high - speed processors and really hav improved battery life for this 1.2 GHz dual core beast.
