[Trophy General] quactaur:
That sounds pretty bad for you guys. If you can't get the phone into recovery mode, even after removing the battery, they may be dead.

I is possible to JTAG the HTC trophy with some soldering, which would let you recover the phone in most circumstances. However it requires voiding your warranty, opening the phone and soldering. Best leave it.

The first thing to do is take it to your carrier for warranty repairs. The mango update voids your warranty (because the carriers don't / can't support Mango yet) but if the whole phone is bricked then it shouldn't make a difference. Take it to them and don't mention the mango upgrade.

If that doesn't work, try HTC.

If that doesnt' work, and you're on Microsoft's developer network, they offer a substitutionary warranty for developers installing mango.
[Trophy General] Djole77:
unfortunately no i will send to the service and wait what they will tell me:mad:

From the beginning something was wrong with this phone the scrolling wasn't smooth like the other trophys I have

maybe there was a hardware problem and the update finished it

[Vibrant General] KerryG:
As of last night both my Vibrant and XOOM would not longer successfully download anything from the Market app. If I use the web market it works fine. I have done all the usual cache clearing, factory reset, even tried different roms, it totally is acting like something with my account and not my devices.

I called Google, spent an hour with tech support and they are stumped and escalating it to someone else but that is 2-3 business days. Granted, this isn't critical, its just an annoyance, but I am open to any suggestions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I've tried a few different ROM's but the only one I get decent WiFi signal with is LeeDroid A2SD+.

I've tried Oxygen, Redux and GingerVillain (all latest versions) but the Wifi often struggles to 2 bars never mind 3. With LeeDroid I get a pretty healthy signal all the time.

I now have S-Off and just updated to the latest Desire radio but I see no difference at all. Is there anything else anyone can suggest I try to get a better signal with any of the above ROM's, or suggest a ROM similar to the above that has a good wifi signal?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ser.clansman:
I would first make sure that the poor WiFi signal isn't caused by a hardware malfunction, inadequate placement of you router or improper firmware setup of it's parameters since you get poor signal with all roms despite changing the radio... have you tried connecting with some other wireless devices, was the signal any better? I had only once had bad reception and it was caused by a combination of underdeveloped/beta rom and in that time the newest radio... try changing the channel and/or wireless mode of your router...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
You could also try Settings / Wireless & networks / Wi-Fi settings / Menu / Advanced and select the 'Best Wi-Fi performance' check box.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daz555:
Forget the bars in the display on various ROMs and check true signal strength via a program like WIFI Analyzer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Thanks for all the feedback but:

@ser.clansman - I get this problem whichever wifi router/hotspot I use and not just my home network so it appears it's something to do with the ROM (I'm guessing) because it's fine with LeeDroid using different radios but not good with other ROM's.

@Parva4 - I've tried what you suggested but when I go into Advanced settings I don't have the "Best Wi-Fi Performance" option.

@Daz555 - I tried one yesterday, can't remember what it was called because I forgot to back it up before flashing my ROM back to Leedroid but it was showing a very poor signal. I think it was -60 (about 4 bars out of 10) and connection to the net was taking forever.

This is getting annoying now becasue it appears I can only use LeeDroid and, I guess, stock ROM. Any other suggestions would be very welcome.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piftoffpenguin:
Wifi is not that great on most Androids truthfully. There is a power limitation imposed due to battery life. Since battery technology is not quite where it needs to be to facilitate a consistently strong wifi signal, they downclock the wifis milliwatts giving a lower dbi. Whats your signal/range/objects in between?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Where I work there is a public wifi and this morning, on 3 occasions I've been and stood about 4 metres away from the router, no obstructions and I'm getting, at best, 1 bar out of 3 (with Redux ROM). I asked for the router to be reset in case this was an issue but still got one bar max. I then reflashed LeeDroid and I'm getting 2 or 3 bars.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Right, I've tested the signal strengths with WifiAnalyzer whilst sitting in the exact same place (same distance and position from router) and tested one ROM then flashed 2 other ROMs and get the following results:

Leedroid = -65

Redux = -75

Oxygen = -75

This proves what I thought that Leedroid gets a better signal than the other 2.

Why could this be and what could I do to improve the signal on CM based ROM's?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I'm using the Leedroid HD V3.3.1 GB-R2 Rom and my phone's signal strength looks the best it's ever been, I'm not sure if that's down to the Rom or the Radio that I've recently flashed? Of course it could be that the wifi signal icon is exaggerating. :)

At the moment I'm sat about 2 feet from my router, I don't have Wireles N enabled on my phone, but I think it's enabled in the router itself. My Radio is 5.17.05.23

Wifi Analyzer my signal strength to be about -45 for my Home network.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tq745:
My daughter wants a pad/tablet for her six year old birthday...(yes i spoil my daughter so sue me). I've been a big fan of android since the g1 days. I don't like ios purely because of the limitations apple has put on it. my daughter is always asking to play with our phones. (we have all android phones) that's why i'm looking to get her a tablet/pad. i've ruled out the transformer and the thrive as they are too heavy for her to carry/hold for long periods of time. my choice is between the gtab or the ipad as they are both simlarly priced and designed. as much as i hate apple, i'm thinking that it might be better to get for her because of it's simple to use software. remember this device will mainly be used by a six year old so i need convincing why i should get the gtab over the ipad2. so my question is what do you think is better for someone her age?

sp= screen protector
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tq745:
i was considering that...but she wants a camera also. so that disqualifies the nook. she's pretty good at using our phones but honeycomb is slightly different. i'm leaning towards the gtab 10.1 just because of the better camera and many of the apps are free. also whatever games i buy or have already bought will be on her tab also because i'm going to be using my gmail account to setup her tab. thanks for the input guys...appreciate it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solinar:
I got my 5 year old a nook as a reward/incentive for learning his times tables.

With CM7 installed and overclocked to 1200 MHz, the main things he does on it are:

play android games

Watch Ripped Movies, TV shows

Play any NES, SNES, PSX, GBA games with a bluetooth wiimote controller

Read books

If I let him, he could also surf the net, watch netflix etc.

IMO the nook is a fantastic kids device.

The only drawbacks to the nook are, lack of cameras, lack of GPS, limit of 2 point multitouch (makes playing games in emulators suck without the wiimote).

It has by far the best looking capacitive display for the price.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I was browsing some kids/educational apps on the Android Market and I think the iPad has much more to choose from and I have seen some pretty cool ones for the iPad. I am not sure if Andoid has the same ones or not, I don't remember the names.

One was of some stuffed animal that you can abuse by knocking off his hat as well as other things. Also some good story book apps, I think Andoid has some of those.

Ease of use of the iPad is great for a kid. Unlike many here I do like the iPad, I think it is pretty good and very easy to use, just not open like Android.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coop9:
My 6 year old son has been playing with our Android phones for a while, so he was familar with most of the apps, but he picked up how to use Honeycomb in probably, oh 5 minutes. He seemed to get it faster than I did.

One advantage for me is that I can install the apps I've already purchased on it. The rule we have is he can't install apps himself. He understands this, and stays away from the market and clicking ads/ingame links well.

I looked at the iPad 2 as well, but couldn't find any apps which were compelling to mes that weren't available on Android or which soon would be.

Yeah it's definitely worth it. Flash new ROM. Select the apps you want installing. Leave phone on table for 10 minutes. Job done :D

[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
Well after reading this....http://phandroid.com/2011/07/19/dan-hesse-expect-big-announcements-from-sprint-about-4g-this-fall/

I'm pretty sure that the area that I am in will not be getting 4G service any time soon. TMobile is the only one who currently offers 4G in my area. That being said, since I will not be using the 4G service for a good while is there anyway that we can have the premium data charge removed from our bill? Or has anyone ever got it removed?
[HTC EVO 3D] Puinsai:
From what I remember we can't get it removed. What if you went on vacation and ended up in a 4G area. I'm sure you would use the 4G connectivity.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Its a "premium data plan" now, they stopped using the "4G access" because people were arguing the validity of it. All smart phones require the $10 add on. There's no way out of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
This.. their 4g has come to a dead halt. I dont even think they are expanding anymore
[HTC EVO 3D] hshshawn:
Yes that and they are not calling it a 4g fee just a generic smartphone data fee... So unfortunately if you want the phone you have to pay. Still cheaper than big red
[HTC EVO 3D] clutch_08:
All smart phones on sprint are required to pay that 10 dallor fee now. So, no way out of it
[HTC EVO 3D] HseloMein:
not sure why you call it a evo or 4g tax, the premium data charge is for all smartphone devices 3g or 4g. if the $10 fee is to keep our data unlimited them im happy to pay it, and its still cheaper that vz or att. so im happy with that. so... no sprint wont take away the addon charge
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
I remember back when the Evo came out after I had got my Heroc that people called it the Evo tax. Ah well, I may go to DC or Raleigh and be able to use it. Just wanted to check. Thanks all....

And yeah, it is still cheper than VZW....
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Last year it was a premium data fee only on 4G phones.

Yeah, I think the LTE thing has a lot to do with that...though, I don't know what the hell they expect LTE to do when WiMax is a far superior protocol as far as I am concerned. I'm sure their engineers are well aware of Sprint/Clear's worst-in-show frequencies and power limits are to blame for the horrible spotty coverage even in "full 4G" areas. Is this super expensive switch to LTE (on crappy frequencies) nothing more than a super-expensive marketing maneuver? I mean, srsly...Similar or worse protocol on the same horrible frequencies aren't going to change anything, or even make it perform worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] sdezrilov:
4G is still rolling out slowly, just got it in my town, sprint reps didn't know anything about it. Just tried it a few weeks ago and to my surprise 5Mbps down, and 1.7 up.

Try an app in the market called "sensorly" it will show where 4G is before sprint will acknowledge it. Be sure to follow the setup for sprint and then 4G maps.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
That or just look at Clearwire's website. I have 4G coverage where I live and in some spots here in OKC, but Sprint has said nothing about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
The 10 dollar/month fee is to keep "true unlimited data" on any smartphone according to Sprint.. and with my usage this is still cheaper than using the "death star" or "vzw" but YMMV :D

I later realized that if I have to pay an extra $10 a month for my line to keep unlimited data, then so be it. I get close to 2GB. I never go over, but then again this is without Netflix/Pandora/etc, so in the future I might:

Im without a doubt one of those people pissed off about this $10 fee. I get horrible 3G coverage at my home, and where I work I hardly get any 3G whatsoever. As for 4G, nothing at all.

I understand if you haven't purchased it yet tho. Isn't there a 24-hour return policy on Market apps? I've only bought a handful and I've kept 'em all... If you're on the fence on buying it because of our port, I would think you could buy it, see if it works and if it doesn't just return the app. You're not out anything that way 'cept a little bit of time.
