WTF? Sorry, never had duplicate threads created. Please reference the other. Odd.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
Within the first week of the evo3d launch, I decided to return my telesales EVO3D to sprint retail store due to lockups (battery pull). The Encino, CA Sprint store employees were a bunch of tighty whitey types, but nonetheless, they exchanged it out after 20 min of going back n forth.

The new phone at first glance appeared NORMAL, but once i started setting up my evo to the way i liked it (within minutes), i noticed a brown/yellow hue to the screen, specifically towards the whites. At first i thought my eyes were playing tricks and i was tripping out,.

Long story short, I couldn't get over it. I dealt with for a few days and decided no effen way, is this the epson vs novatec bull all over again? So i posted and at first, nobody really noticed, even those with multiple evo's... But recently, I see more and more threads about this very exact thing.

With term.emu, i decided to go through all the evo3d's in my possession, total of 4 (returns for locks, and 1 for defective charge input)..

what i found is that Novatec is building screens for sharp or in some fashion assisting. 1 Panel Type appeared as NOVATEC === SHARP NT or something.. and the rest have all been SHARP.

2 out of 4 EVO'd has the yellow hue affect and the other 2 had the bright white or fake white effect.

side by side comparison with brightness @ 100% showed the yellow hue screen to be somewhat more realistic as opposed to the bright white (Fake white). But, that doesnt mean, at least for me, it looked better. The bright whites were more attractive to me.

I also noticed 2 different MircoSD brand. SANDISK and KINGSTON class 4. Testing showed the both performed the same, read/writes up to 15MB/s per the windows file transfer of a 1.6 gig movie. (how accurate windows is not important bc it simply is the baseline as they both performed the same)

now for the pictures. .. my camera couldn't pick up the fine color difference like the naked eye, but here is a peak.. in real life, the yellow is much much more apparent.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
Thanks for this..I was upset with the yellow-ish tint with my 3vo but after having it for a week it seems easier on the eyes.Then i used my wifes evo4G with the bright fake looking whites and im happy with the warm tint.

But now we have some better proof with your photos,thanks.

[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
Im sorry to say this .. but i love my EVO and HTC quality control here is just BAD.. hands down (their own pants cuz they are jerking away)

how many people on the boards are reporting some sort of defect.. from charging, locks, display (Dead pixels, white dots, dust) ..

I never went through 4 phones on my OG-E.. I truely wonder if most of this crap is sw related.. if so, cant wait to root this bs away.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
I have the bright white screen. I have no complains about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
Actually my phone is awesome with no issues and is my favorite phone I've ever owned.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I have a H/W 0002 with "PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT" and yellow looking whites. It is annoyingly yellow, however the white balance is very natural. Human eyes are easily fooled into thinking things are "whiter" when a blue tint is applied, so it's only natural we feel the blueish tinted ones are better. However I'd take accurate color reproduction over my immature reaction of "yucky", so I'm happy.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
Its apparent that others are not happy with the phones they have and are replacing them.

My 4th seems to not have any defects, no freezing or locks yet. Seems like 4th time is the charm here. It not suppose to take 4 phones to be happy though.

In regard to panel types..

I have came across NOVATEC and SHARP.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
My first 2 were yellow/brownish. I'm not sure what panel they had, but both were from Radio Shack stock with no light leakage. My third looks great! It is from Best Buy, color looks good, but it has light leakage, but I can deal with that. The panel on this one is PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT.

[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
I have PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT. The whites are a little yellow in comparison to my 4G. But I don't mind it. It isn't that bad.

Be sure to e-mail yourself the output from the Terminal Emulator. Using the find function in Outlook was much faster than reading it on the 3D's screen. Especially the yellow letters on the blue background. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ballerx43:
That damn Encino store, they NEVER want to swap your phone out. I took my OG Evo there showing them that the phone clearly had a dust buildup under the screen and the vibrate motor wasn't working. Phone was 10/10 rated condition wise and 3 week old replacement and their excuse was "its cosmetic, we can't fix it." last I checked the definition of cosmetic is:

cos·met·ic - Adjective: Affecting only the appearance of something rather than its substance.

Those cheap bast*rds act like they're paying for the replacement out of their own pockets when the phones ACTUALLY need to be replaced. If you live close enough, I'd recommend the store in Woodland Hills on Owensmouth. Not a corporate store but it is a repair center and. Northridge actually broke one of my OG Evos and had the BALLS and capacity to tell me it was my fault that they opened my phone and broke it and they weren't going to replace it... Sprint corporate store service has really gone down the ****hole here in the San Fernando Valley.
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
I have the sharp screen as well. I guess I can't really tell if mine is yellow or not so I'm that worried about it. When I look at my screen it looks white. I guess I'll have to wait to compare it to other users. I don't know anybody else that currently has an 3VO compare.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippythegoat:
By touchscreen i technically mean panel, which includes the four capacitive buttons at the bottom. There was no impact or drop and the screen is not cracked. I opened it up and checked all of the ribbons and they are all fine. In H-Boot, in the system info menu, before taking it apart, it said touchpanel - fail with some other stuff surrounding it. After taking it apart, all previous function has been retained but the touchscreen still doesn't work. Also, i no longer have the touchpanel reported as "failed" in H-Boot.

Also, the problem occurred while at work which included lots of manual labor. Is there any possibility this could be related to an extended period of high humidity? Also, the phone was not wet.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Hardware problem, covered under warranty, call up VZW and have them ship you a replacement.

As to why it happened, no idea.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippythegoat:
They will probably want me to send in the broken phone to verify the fact that it's broken. In order to take apart the phone to attempt a self repair, i had to break the "Void" seal over one of the screws. Also, rooting voids your warranty as well and i don't believe i can change that at this point. I have plugged the phone into my computer but i do not have adb access.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I sent my Incredible back for a warranty replacement with no void sticker at all, nothing happened, i truly don't think they care about it.

To get back to stock you don't need ADB or the touchscreen. Just follow this

Problems As of Right Now:

Rooted my phone using bubbys (worked out fine)

Tried to install ROM for Gingerbread 2.3 as seen on many youtube tutorials

Not Working

Am I putting the ROMs on my SD card wrong? Should I reroot the phone again using a different program (tried using the xda first but my computer wouldnt let me even after I turned off firewall and anti virus.) I dont know what I should do but tonight is about to be my 2nd sleepless night until i figure it out..Thanks very much for any help!!

[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Are you able to boot into H-boot to see if you have s-off?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nikki0418:
Yes I just checked and it said that the S-OFF

and well i just tried to go into titanium back up right before i read your reply and its saying that root failed and then i checked super user and its saying that i need to upgrade and when i do its telling me that theres a signature error...

these are all conflicting ideas to me. any other kind of root that i can try besides the bubbys cause i really really want to use the gingerbread rom and sense 3.0

youre the best for replying and sorry about all the missing punctuations im typing really fast and i dont care about that just need some answers.. Thanks!!!

--Nikki<3:o
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Since you have s-off, you should be able to flash a rom. Considering you are having issues, I would try flashing the stock rom thru h-boot first. Search the dev section for attn1's Ace_Cingular_US rom. Rename the file if needed and place it on the root of the sd card. Turn of fastboot in the settings menu of your device and restart in h-boot. Make sure there are no other such zip files on the sd card. When h-boot finds the file, it should prompt you start the flashing of the rom and radio.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ogarlen:
Don't worry overmuch as I have had issues too, although I was successful in the past on another device. From my research, if you can boot at all, you will be fine. Just takes some research and maybe some help from some Senior Devs ;).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
can u boot into clockwork mod recovery, by holding volume down and power?

The reason i ask is im not sure if this can be done in hboot, but here is what i would like you to try. From the dev section go to leedroids 4g V3.03.0 GB thread and download the EXT4 wipe and his latest rom (((only using his, because the wipe and rom work together nicely, you can flash anything you want later))) after downloading both, transfer to the root of your sdcard. Then using CWM (if possible) flash the wipe first and then the rom without rebooting (again if possible.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nikki0418:
i cant find the thread youre talking about....it wont let me search for leedroid either

idk

I feel your pain...when I rooted my Inspire it did not go smooth at all, slightly smoother than you evidently...if the phone can boot at all there is likely a way to recover...

EDit: That said, I now think I have about the most rockin phone within at least a 15 mile radius. I absolutely love it...but it has taken some work, and a few moments of anxiety when things didn't quite go smoothly at first
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Sounds like a soft brick. Possibly a bad flash, possibly from a bad download. Did you check the integrity of the download, md5sum? You want to do that and make sure you have no other pd98img.zip file on the sd card. Do as suggested, go to the sticky and follow the instructions for recovering from a soft brick.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nikki0418:
OK

Now that everyone has babied this poor sad little girl through the softbrick rooting step, I need one more piece of advice :confused:

I went to sleep last night after a victory dance: rooted phone, great Gingerbread and sense 3.0 etc etc

Put phone on charger --zzzzzz-- wake up and take it off charger and after more than 8hrs on wall charger battery is only 50%%!!! WTFF i've been up for a little while now and its at 38% with me not even touching it or doing anything on it..is there a rom or something that can extent battery life...is there a scan i can to to see if theres a different problem? I read that people have good battery life with LeeDrOiD IDK

Again thank you very much!!

[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Did you flash a radio? The hack kit left me with a nasty radio. Upgrading to the latest radio made a difference. Post which radio you have, settings > about phone > software information > baseband version. Visit the Leedroid thread and see which radios are recommended. It is also possible it may have been a bad flash. In which case, you would need to wipe and flash again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
it could be the rom, which one do you have installed now??? I noticed the best battery life with two pump chumps recook of the stock rom >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982963 , but for best overall look and feel i like leedroids gingerbead rom, that i posted earlier (however battery life is an issue with any GB rom). Its really just up to and what you will be doing as to whats best for you. Just try a few or try them all till you find what you like. Its also worth noting that CM7 seems to have the best battery life of any, but its an entirely different look. I personally hate it, but you may not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
There is an Android bug that puts the phone in a permanent wake state even when the screen is off, phone idle, etc. It happens after a phone call. Rebooting fixes it. this bug is identified by the Dialer taking up inordinate battery usage in the battery stats. It would be really coincidental if that happened to you right after flashing though...just a thought.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nikki0418:
@fernadezhjr the Baseband version I have on here is 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M

I don't know what that means so *shrugs* haven't tried to Flash a new radio. I have a rom for one but i've done a lot to my phone so idk lol.......if you know where i can get a trustworthy rom for sure for the LeeDroid root.

@bermatides(sorry if i spelled wrong i only glanced at name) I have the [ROM]LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.0 GB [KERNEL]V3.2.0 >EPIC!< 6th July | HTC GB | OTA | CRT TV

I downloaded it from here from his personal profile off his posts. I dont know how corrupt it could be...everything is working fine. My wifi is just slow even with all the bars. and its not so much that my phone isnt charging (which i thought) its the wall charger that isnt charging my phone. it charges in the car and on the computer. but won't charge in the wall.....the little lightning bolt comes on and shows charging in action but the battery percentage goes lower and lower the longer its "charging" then kaput .........
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
It appears by the latest posts in the rom thread that there are some issues with the latest version of the rom, wifi and signal indicator issues being two of them. Hopefully, someone will come along and give you a radio recommendation for leedroid, but I would say that you should at least consider upgrading to the latest stock radio, regardless if you stick with the rom or not.

Hey all.

I did some searching but couldn't find if a resolution has occurred. Has anyone made a fix for the compass being off its axes? I use 3d compass. When I tilt right, the on-screen compass points up. Etc.

I know this was once discussed. Would exchanging it solve that issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
I believed this issue is with the developer of the software...

software that were made for phone should be updated for tablet & especially Honeycomb ... as the accelerometer/compass is reverse..etc

some appz can run on tablet properly... but it also need to support HC ( not just froyo/Gingerbread only )

there were some games that were like this ( opposite/upside down... ).... dev updated their software and it works fine in tablet ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
Oh that's great. Is there a good app to test the tablets compass?

It is strange that vendetta online wasn't an app that was playable due to the compass. Seems like that was all the hype for this tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
Try gps status in the market! It's free, does good stuff!
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
GPS status works ok, but remember to calibrate the compass (wave it around in a figure 8) each time you try to use it. GPS essentials does NOT work, the compass is off by 90 degrees.

Hello all,

I successfully rooted (temp rooted using Visionary) my phone: myTouch 4g 2 days ago, and had removed all stock apps. Then I felt I wanted the stock mail app back, so I tried to reinstall it. Since it was showing errors, I renamed the /system/lib/libm.so file to /system/lib/libm_orig.so thinking that it was related to the mail app. Realizing my mistake, I tried renaming it back but in vain. I restarted my phone and now it does not boot at all. (what was I thinking!!? just one rename caused all of this!)

To all experts here - Do I have a chance to get my phone working back? If so, what should I do?

I have tried the following:

- tried a factory reset (I have never flashed a custom rom on it), but no luck.

- fastboot a clockwork recovery image, but no luck. It says "writing recovery... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

- adb shell - does not find the device

- By the way, before I made the renaming-change, I had turned off 'USB debugging'.

Some info that shows on the screen after vol down + power:

GLACIER PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.86.0000

MICROP-0429

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
Did you make a nandroid backup of your rom before you removed anything and can you boot into recovery, not boot loader but recovery with all the orange text? If the answer is yes to both, then boot into recovery and select backup/restore and then select restore and restore the backup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That was my first thought, but then I remembered he only temp rooted. You can't install a custom recovery with only temp root. As for the problem, I don't know of a solution. It actually sounds kind of bad because there is no backup, no custom recovery to flash anything new, no engineering bootloader to use fastboot, and the phone won't boot which would allow the phone to be perm rooted with gfree or Visionary. This might be a PD15IMG.zip situation.
