Happens constantly. Extremely annoying. I also can't download and install .apks directly from my phone no matter what. The ONLY way I can do it is by connecting to my computer. Then that creates a new USB issue all together.

General rant. Sorry. This thing needs a custom ROM like a fat kid needs cake.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
Couldn't agree more with that last statement, I occasionally get the same issue with the .apks bit it's not constant.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
You can't install .apks from your phone's SDCard because you have "Unknown Sources" unchecked in your application settings menu.

I also have the problem where quitting the market application will cancel downloads, but it doesn't do that whenever I "minimize" it, if you will, only whenever I force quit it.

Is this what you're talking about or am I misunderstanding?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
I believe it's from minimizing it as well. Also unknown sources is selected on my device I believe the only reason I've had any lock ups in installing .asks is due to an occasional glitch in Dolphin, also how does one properly minimize an application?
[Motorola Droid X2] slagar:
By hitting the home button. If you'd like to continue where you left off after minimizing an app hold the home button down until recent apps pops up.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
That's a mighty big assumption that I have it unchecked. It is checked. This isn't my first rodeo pal, I know what I'm doing.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
same problem
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
Must be one of those beautiful software glitches, not too gamebreaking though. I still love this phone.

Issues with downloading apks

I've had some issues with unsuccessful downloads of apks. I've been tweaking 7 different x2 and the issues seem completely random. I've saved all the apks to a folder on the comp, so now I just drag and drop them in. Installing hasn't been a problem though. I was wondering if I should try the new market update or stick with what I have. Haven't really noticed an issue with it, on any of them.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
You have officially made my day, not only are downloads working but now I have the brand new market! Thanks tons.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] TatuGrim:
I rooted my g2x earlier

And I have no roms because I don't know how to install them yet

But I want yup know what are the best apps for the g2x

So far I have

Titanium back up

Android booster

Bloat freezer (which I don't think it works)

Adfree

Busybox installer (which I don't know how to use)

Astro

mobile manager

Metamorph (which I really don't know how to use or get themes for it)

So if anyone has any input in what I have so far, knows how to use then correctly or has any apps that I need or works better then what I got, please help me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Titanium freezes apps so get rid of bloatfreeze. I like rootexplorer better than astro, addfree is also good for blocking adds in apps.

MEXICO U-17 WC CHAMPIONS!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bronk93:
Root explorer is a fantastic app. I also use beautiful widgets and ring droid. As said before titanium backup is the best to freeze bloatware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
I installed Go Launcher and all the other Go products (most are free). It really brings the phone to life. I also Have lockscreen widget which helps simulate the cool lock-screen to camera/contacts/Music Player function the Sensation has.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Reboot widget. Much more simple than holding down power + volume down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Veei:
I use Droidwall. Simple firewall for your phone. Blocks data/wifi access to applications unless you explicitly allow it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TatuGrim:
Any other good apps? and how fo I use metamorph? where do I get thee themes for it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baka2x:
I'm going to have to second droidwall. Root call blocker is great, too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
SetCPU- CPU profile/steps changer

Cache Mate NG- cache cleaner

Root Tools- Build.prop.editor and Boot animation changer

AniMod- changes animation effects when changing menu's etc...Usually i keep all animation off so only the top task bar does the animation of flipping.

VMHeapTool- changes Heap size easily to 40 to give apps more breathing room

Spareparts- gives easy options to turn off certain settings

LG/2x Black- turns your LED buttons on and off when you recieve certain type of notifications.

SD Speed Increase- changes default SD of 46kbs to 2048-4024kbs to allow faster read and write speeds. Mileage varies depending on SD card.

+1 for adfree

+1 droidwall

+1 Go SMS

Freeze all bloatware ...only unistall non-essential programs like Tegrazone app if you don't use it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] llllllllllll:
DSPmanager -makes speaker soooooooo much louder been doing it for months no damage. Use the e q and turn em all the way up except for the first one, play with it while song is playing

APNsbackup- ur gonna need it for some roms if u like having data connection all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Root Explorer and ROM Manager are MUST!

Root Explorer is one of the very best file manager and you can even backup/restore/transfer personal data on /data/data

ROM Manager is associated with clockworkmod recovery. It is another A MUST if you want to do nandroid backup and install custom ROM.

AnReboot can reset your phone if some persistent problem happens (like no signal)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baka2x:
Add LBE privacy guard to the list. It's handy. Use it with droidwall.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Titanium Backup free does not freeze apps.

Try Anttek App Manager. It does other stuff but I use it for freezing bloatware and it works perfectly.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] schizopunk:
I am looking to root my Droid Inc2 but I need to know how to go back to a complete stock/unrooted state for when I have to send my phone into Verizon. I'm thinking this would require the stock RUU file if I'm not mistaken.

Could anyone let me know how to go about this before I root my device?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wookie847:
Would also like to know this. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sic123:
Yes you would need a stock ruu but if you root using alpharev method there is currently no way back to complete stock your bootloader will remain s-off

Sent from S-off Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jasonxlee01:
Bump.

Will the phone ever be able to go back to FULL stock with S-On? Or is this just a temporary situation? Because down the road, there might be issues where I might have to do a warranty replacement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
I'm pretty sure if you just flash the stock rom you will be fine sending it back. I have heard horror stories about people being denied warranty service for sending in s off phones but don't put much stock into it. That is just my opinion tho...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugh jeffner:
So i was rooted, then i unrooted, but i still have my S-off. can i just re-root, I was going to use the akaSkriller method.

Hope this hasn't been beating into the ground, but the only info i could find was about other phones that run on Verizon.

Is it possible to perm brick your phone? My phone got stuck somewhere in the middle of an Odin flash and I had to pull the plug. Since then I have been stuck at the "Phone...!....Computer" picture.

I can get the downloading "Do not turn off Target!!!" section with the cable plugged in and no battery. I also have it recognized by Samsung PSLite, but when I'm trying to flash the stock rom back on through PSLite it disconnects as soon as it goes to 0%.

Will it make a difference that I have Win7 64bit and the VIA drivers say 32bit on them? I'm pretty sure I have every other driver that's needed.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I'm a sad panda without my new phone :-(
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Go to the dev section of this forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14147928&postcount=3

Follows these directions exactly. Will recovery your phone for you.

Good part is, you are not bricked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mikepic:
Yeah, I've been following a couple of forums that all show nearly the exact same directions. Been getting stuck on the same area...

I have very little knowledge of any of this other than following instructions (obviously not that well) but something tells me it has to be a driver issue.

The VIA drivers I installed say 32bit and my machine is Win7 64. Also, when I plug the phone in it is recognized by my computer with no errors. Once I start the install and it gets to "VIA download" I get the error - then my computer tells me the device was not recognized. I have to do a full reboot to get my computer to recognize my phone again.

Thanks for the directions
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
Hey man, if that isnt working for you (which I dont see how.) You can always call tech support and say your phone is not booting, even after you pull the battery out. Just say it stays stuck on the samsung screen. They will send out a new phone. Just saying but it should work regardless. Also try another USB port, see if that solves your issue and make sure you are using the OEM usb cable.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
I'm assuming this will work for you. It did for me. I had the same screen.

Download first file.

Odin 1.82

Open Odin then hook up your phone and put into download mode with the battery out. Crucial part here. Put the battery back in. After flash the first file I linked you to but make sure you check the PDA option and do it through PDA only.

Should fix it I do believe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
If you follow that exactly like is says. from start to finish. forgetting that you have ever tried anything before. And still follow it. You will be fine. download everything it says download, and follow the instructions exactly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mikepic:
Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

I've been trying everything suggested on here except getting a newer version of Odin. When I get in tonight I'll keep trucking along with different tweeks.

The good news is I accepted defeat (Grrr!) and have a warranty replacement on the way. It kills me that I couldn't get this on my own.

I've even installed everything on my laptop with the exact same results. As soon as I get to the downloading portion where it shows 0% the phone disconnects and my computer tells me it is no longer recognized. This was in PSLite. Odin simply says FAIL when I try to flash that method.

I have a week to return the first phone. I'll use that time to get all my drivers in order and get this figured out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
After you put the phone into download mode when it was hooked up to the computer did you put the battery back in? I had the same screen as you and when I tried to use Odin it would just say it failed every time. Put the battery back into your phone after it is in download mode before you try to flash with Odin.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Also for PSLite I had to plug in the phone (in download mode) before starting PSLite (opposite of ODIN).
[Verizon Droid Charge] mikepic:
Odin... OdinOdinOdinOdin!

That was my problem. I was using silly PSLite instead of Odin.

Thanks again everyone for the help! Now to see if I can break her again...
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Actually PSLite worked for me and not ODIN, but for others ODIN worked. I guess it is good to try both. Too bad both seems so flaky! Rooting on the OG droid was a breeze compared to the charge. The OG droid was indescructible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Then go back to the OG Droid. It takes literally 10 min to root a Droid Charge. If you follow the instructions like we tell you to, its not hard at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I agree rooting was really easy. Several people have had issues where they needed to restore using and ODIN and it complete fails (this is after using ODIN successfully to flash ROMS, recovery, kernels). See the end of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108115

You can blame it on user error, but I can assure you that I didn't do anything that should have caused my /data partiion to not mount. Sometimes things happen and the last thing you want is ODIN failing to flash when you have a brick on your hands.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Hope you fix your phone :] It always pains me to see one of these posts where someone has a bootloop or even a dreadful brick.

**UPDATE 7/10**

We wanted to provide an update on HTC’s progress with bringing bootloader unlocking to our newest phones. We know how excited some of you are for this capability, and we’ve put significant resources behind making this change as soon as possible. While we wish we could flip a simple switch and unlock all bootloaders across our device portfolio, this is actually a complex challenge that requires a new software build and extensive testing to deliver the best possible customer experience.

We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.

HTC continues its commitment to unlocking bootloaders and supporting the developer community. Because of the importance of this community to us, please expect an update on this about every few weeks as we make progress toward launch. Thank you for your patience and continued support!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm disappointed at the fact that we have to wait so much for this to happen :( I hope the devs do it first :D

Technically speaking, wouldn't devs be able to take the first update unlocking the international phone and use it to attempt to unlock the branded versions before they get the official release?

[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Probably, probably not. I was looking yesterday at the Atrix forums, and i tihnk AT&T Atrix's could have their bootloaders unlocked, while Bell Atrix's couldn't. So we'll see when the time comes. :/
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I should hope so, but who knows what wrenches HTC/Phone Providers might be able to throw into the mix.

I'm still more thrilled about a possible XDA unlock than by an HTC unlockm which could and in all likelihood will come with some sort of strings, warranty voiding ones, attached.

[HTC Sensation] cheesinar:
I really don't get some people. For weeks countless people have been whinging that HTC have not set a time frame for our bootlockers to be unlocked, now today HTC make an announcement setting a time frame and people still whinge.

We all bought the phone knowing that the bootlocker is locked with the understanding that in time it will be unlocked. Which is what HTC is doing. Personally I would rather wait until after extensive testing for the update to hopefully work correctly instead of a rushed update full of bugs.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I bought the phone knowing it was going to be unlocked one day. However, never owning an HTC device before, I quickly noticed how big of a drag Sense really was. The in store demos don't really work enough since it's not like you're going to login and customize everything. But once I had everything up and running I REALLY saw how much I prefered the stock experience. So I put the phone to it's side and kept the Nexus One as my daily driver.

However, with this announcement of unlocked bootloaders I will not return my phone like I previously thought.
[HTC Sensation] Squeaky369:
The Dev's will have it unlocked way before then. Another let down by HTC...

Hopefully there will be another Nexus soon, not made by Samsung and we can enjoy another awesome phone that is completely ours.

Well I'm extremely stoked to hear this, however.. htc should know that having the ability.. and the company thats willing us to root our phones is what we want.. while average user may not care.. we do.. we buy your phones sometimes at either half to full price.. we deserve that atleast.. i honestly do not care if it's an OTA update or something an experienced user has to download and flash... HTC might be better off just giving us experienced users the files to do so.. might save some headaches.

Unlocked bootloader query

Hi Guys

how does the unlocked bootloader affect perm root? will we be able to have perm-root easily after the bootloader is unlocked, or is it related to the OS itself (2.3.3)

we have not heard any update on the CWM for a long time, do we have a working CWM for sensation ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
There is no perma root. Just temp root. This will allow us to perma root, or change the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
yes

I know we dont have perm root, my question was whether having s-off will allow us to easily have perm root.

Teamwin has been able to get temp root till now, and working to have perm root, so i was wondering whether s-off will make their life easier
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
S-Off gives full read write access, so we can do what ever we want. This makes it 100% easier.
