Ok I didnt want to start a new thread I figured one less is better untill its moved

I think I have it all figured out. Im just going to do the humble 1.42 fryo. So far I did the usb debug mode got drivers installed on Pc. Got Odin 1.3 and Humble142.tar.md5 with ODIN. Im at latest stock update EE4 I assume this is ok.

I just need to figure out how to Wipe data/factory reset-Wipe cache

Ive read flash instructions and watched a video pretty dummy proof. My main concern now is Ive read that your APN gets wiped when you root but ive only read that on one post...is this the case I have no idea how to back up apn settings. If its not the case and I flash these files after the flash is complete do I wipe the cache and data again??? Thanks guys your all awsome..I went with froyo cause ive never used gingerbread dont know the diff just want the lag to stop:mad:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
I don't know what that person/thread was talking about, but all you need to do is:

1. Put your phone in Download Mode (while it's powered off, plug it into USB while holding Volume Down; the phone should show an orange warning triangle)

2. Start Odin (you should see a green COM port on the top left section; that means your phone is connected correctly)

3. Select the Humble .tar.md5 in PDA (PDA PDA PDA! DO NOT CHOOSE PHONE)

4. Hit Start, wait until Odin says PASS and your phone restarts

5. Use your phone.

You don't even need to wipe data manually, as Odin does that automatically.

[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight here.

I've noticed horrible battery life, and constant 200 - 600ma current draw. My awake time is absurdly high too. Then all of a sudden last night I noticed it was only pulling 50ma, and the awake time was staying low. Nothing had changed, no app updates, nothing at all. It just suddenly stopped having a wake-lock. Then this morning it went back to being wonky. So I finally gave in and did a hard reset, everything back to stock, installed just one app, battery monitor widget, turned on airplane mode (I thought maybe weak signal was a factor) and left the phone alone for a few hours. When I got back to it, the entire time it was pulling between 360 and 450ma, and the awake time matched the uptime (well, only off by a few minutes). To reiterate, this was with the radios off, and a fresh hard reset.

I really don't know what else to do.

I should mention this same behavior was exhibited on my first Evo3D that I swapped for a broken vibrator motor, so I don't think this is a hardware fault. Actually back then I thought it was normal, so I didn't think about it much, but then I got to thinking it's not normal for an idle phone to die in 8 hours with airplane mode on and no activity...

Thanks for any ideas!
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Try downloading an app called CPU Spy and make sure you're phone is going into "deep sleep". If it isn't, I would start going through the apps through process of elimination by uninstalling each one and resetting the timer each time on CPU Spy.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Thank you, I'll mess around with that, but I think you have missed my point...this is happening with 100% freshly reset stock, so there is nothing to uninstall. The only thing is I haven't taken the .7 update, which might have a bearing on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Gotcha. Well, give CPU Spy a go. Also, I would download Juice Defender from the Market. I've noticed a significant increase in battery life since I started using it.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Try checking your wifi policy. Set it to always on while plugged in or something other than never.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Nice app. I let it run for about an hour, it showed something like 7% sleep, 70% 384 MHz and the rest was 1188. I uninstalled the only thing, Battery Monitor Widget, then reset CPU Spy's stats and waited another hour...now it's 97% sleeping, 2% 384, 1% 1188. :D Looks like BMW was the problem. Thanks for the app suggestion.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Any kind of monitoring app will drain your battery more.

[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
Battery monitor widget doesn't show accurate readings yet. The guy that made it emailed me and said it should be fixed in one of the upcoming updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] luisrcastillo:
I'm with you on this, I think you're into something. I've seen the same behavior too a few times. Some days I'd be surprised on how good my battery life has been and some days I'd get pissed.

The other day mine was drawing like 400ma without doing anything (looking at the history of battery monitor widget). So, yes, I agree with you. Something funky is going on.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Did you also apply the OTA? I was having wake lock issues before applying the OTA and now that I did, the phone hardly drains over night after being unplugged.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Turn off htc sync. Fixes it.
[HTC EVO 3D] luisrcastillo:
Are you referring to syncing HTC sense under accounts and sync?
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Yes. At least that fixed it for me. Taking both updates should also fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] luisrcastillo:
Good to know. I have the two OTAs also. I uninstalled Battery Monitor Widget and I have noticed that it is draining a lot slower. so like the OP mentioned. I think that was the culprint. I will keep checking the next couple of days.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
I noticed that too. Since the drainage ratings are incorrect... there is no reason to use it.

[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
By HTC sync, do you mean "Auto Sync"?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Oooohhhh, OP's subject is about the phone...

Cuz I have the same problem, phone is fine though.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
No. I mean Htc Sense sync. Turned that off and it fixed it for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Gotcha...thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
When I switch HTC Sense sync to manual, it says some of the Dashboard features won't be available. Does that mean I won't be able to locate, ring, etc from htcsense.com?
[HTC EVO 3D] aramova:
I've read that a few times from people here on XDA, the issue I have with that statement from HTC or anybody is that by it's very definition a software issue shouldn't be something that requires replacement. Hardware, perhaps firmware that's not flashable, but software.. .meh! :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
There is a new app by someone on XDA called better battery statistics, it was on the portal news actually. The app shows that my lockscreen is keeping the phone up! Dunno why it would do that
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I lol'd.

Unrelated, I found out something major, to me at least. I've tested it a bunch of times and it's always the same. When charging, the phone never sleeps. I plugged it in, rebooted, looked at the uptime/wake (and CPU Spy) 10 minutes later, and it was 10/10, always awake. I unplugged it, rebooted, and did the same thing, this time it was 10/1 with 90% showing as sleep in CPU Spy.

Just thought I'd like to mention it, in case anyone else out there was doing uptime tests while plugged in.
[EVO 4G General] desiprince92:
I've always loved the kickstand feature on the Evo (who doesn't?) but always hated that it could only hold up the phone one way, horizontally (unlike the Thunderbolt).

Also, I have been meaning to get a nice case for my evo but haven't been able to find a good one (not too bulky, not hard to take out of my pocket, doesn't prevent me from pushing the volume or power button etc.).

Is there such a case out there that has a kickstand much like the Thunderbolt and is compatible with the evo (has all the openings in the right places for the hdmi and usb) or is this just wishful thinking?
[EVO 4G General] thegreatdustinLO:
Just wishful thinking man, the kick stand is strictly horizontal for all cases there is really to reason for it to be able to have the phone vertical.
[EVO 4G General] Scrubb:
I just bought a nice, sleek case from www.elitextreme.com. It is fully enclosed, access to everything, and only cost $9. Throw on an InvisableShield and this thing is indestructible!

[EVO 4G General] jau4000:
OtterBox Defender

I got an otterbox defender for my evo, as i am very rough on phones..I have to say it is hands down the best phone case i have ever seen/owned. it is a hard case, covered by a soft silicone case, and it is the only case that has a built in screen protector, and not some sticker. it also has a holster, which will allow you use the holster clip as a kickstand for vertical viewing, works great for horizontal also.. It is slightly bulky, but in my honest opinion it is about the best protection you can get for you phone/screen. There is no lag from the built in screen protector, it seems to be some kind of plastic membrane.. all ports/leds/camera's/speaker/mic are all open and accessible. If you are hard on your phone, or have bad luck scratching screens, this case is for you..

Being a noob i can't post outside links, but it is easily found searching otterbox on the net..
[EVO 4G General] thegreatdustinLO:
I'm using the same thing and would have to agree!!!! I just got the case with out the clip for about 30 bucks, if not cheaper, on amazon. So shop around!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] sharkboy0901:
I have it too

I love it

It is amazing

ports are well protected nice silicone with good bumps so it has nice grip. And after 3 days I didnt feel it bulky anymore when I take my phone out if feels alot smaller.

Its a bit expensive at 50 bucks but its really worth it I dropped it twice without worrying at all
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Try the Trident. Like otterbox but not as bulky
[EVO 4G General] desiprince92:
Thanks for all the help! Come to think of it, I guess I don't really NEED the vertical kickstand feature. When I said not too bulky, I guess I was avoiding an Otter box response haha. I think I might try the trident though or the covers from elitextreme, Thank You once again!
[EVO 4G General] Muellersirch:
You might also want to check out the Go Ballistic HC case: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-ballistic-hc-series-case

it is better than the otterbox, it is smaller (without the optional silicone layer on the outside), still has the built in screen protector, slides in/out of a pocket (again without the optional silicone layer)
[EVO 4G General] jpratt0310:
I have the ballistic case and I absolutely love it. its advertised to protect the phone from a five foot drop and my boyfriend is 6'2" and he dropped his down a flight of concrete stairs (he was holding it at his eye level) and there were no scratches and the case stayed on. Unlike the otterbox, the rubber doesn't get in the way of the charger.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] HappyRoot:
Which root method is the best to use to root my Lg Optimus V? While using some googlefu I have come across various methods of gaining root and I am curious which method is the best and the varying differences between them.

The methods I have come across are as follows;

* GingerBreak

* SuperOneClick

* FastBoot

I'm also curious how I would unroot and restore the phone to factory defaults. Any information on that would also be much appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
check to see if z4root works cuz its the fastest and most convenient way to root, at least for the O1. it gives u the option to either do a temporary root (which lasts until u reboot ur phone) or a permanent root. after u root ur phone it gives u the option to unroot or reroot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] HappyRoot:
Thanks I'll check it out. I'm trying to find the least intrusive way to gain root.

I an still a noob but it seems that there are two main ways that root is gained via either an exploit like gingerbreak or z4root like you suggested or via a hard root (I believe that is the term) such as superoneclick.

Which method is the best generally?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
all of these methods give u root but some are just harder than the others. it only took me a minute to root my phone with z4root because all u have to do is press a button and it does the rest for u. I've never tried any of the other methods but I'd say z4root is the way to go
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bhawan:
Root Access

If u have android 2.2 froyo then u should root ur phone through z4root and if u have androiod 2.2.1/2.2.2 froyo then u should root ur phone through gingerbreak.

Bcoz both the above application have root and unroot buttons(whatever u want to do).

Please if you do have the blueant Q2 can you confirm that the Sensation works with it. For example if you have it on for more than 2hrs that it stays connected and you can play music and get audio off the BT.
[HTC Sensation] Mr3G:
I'm running this setup, it does work. Linking is no problem, but I have problems people hearing me? I'm not sure its the Blueant's problem or the phone? Sound is loud and clear both during phone call and playing media through it. Once it connects it updates your phonebook with the device. This feature just informs you the number calling and it gives you an automated voice playback of "HTC Sensation 4G" after your initial linkup.

Con: After 30mins or so, voice/media starts to intermittently cutout, I don't know if its phone or BT? It seems sensitive when phone is tilted/activating the gyro's it does this? Really disappointing!
