EP1Q Stock

I tried over, and over to flash the TBH Special EP1Q with a continuous bootloop. I then went to flash the stock EP1Q and it said invalid mD5. So I removed the MD5 from the end, flashed it , and walla, it works!
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Voilà. /educational correction
[Verizon Droid Charge] skipwagner:
Same thing happened to me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RoundEye26:
Does anyone use the swype keyboard? After I updated to ep1q, the swype popup is no longer readable. Anyone seen this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Is anyone having the audio issues mentioned in the OP of the EP1Q leak thread?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
What's the issue you got?

I was running this on my previous Droid Charges without any audio problems. I then replaced my Droid Charge with another replacement from Verizon, now I have audio problems running EP1Q.

Everything stutter once in a while, like lag for 1-2 secs. It happened on both streaming and playing songs off SD card.

So I went back to EE4, no audio problem so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Exact same problem I had. That's why I was wondering if a rom would help that out or if it's integrated into the leak itself.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Nope, any ROM using that leak would result in the same situation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Damn. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] wrarvoz:
The EP1Q radios were very buggy for me on humble 1.51. Data connection was sketchy and I could make or receive calls.

The very same radio on Gummycharged GBE 1.9RC2.3 works flawlessly... I guess whatever ROM you're running will dictate how well the radios perform.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
I have the opposite experiences from you. EP1Q modem has been working very well for me, on any ROMs (froyo or gb).

Hello ~

Should be your mobile phone Bluetooth settings hidden?

Bluetooth set to continuous visible on it ~：rolleyes：
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gonesingle:
I have a fascinate that's rooted. I downloaded ROM manager attempting to flash a different ROM and i keep getting the signature verification failed because im on the 3e recovery...

anyone help me get back to 2e so i can flash this MIUI rom onto my fascinate?!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
rom manager is useless for the fascinate unless your on cm7 nightly.so don't use it to flash anything.

You need a non stock kernel ready to go on your sd card so recovery doesn't get overwritten on boot by the stock kernel.then you need to odin recovery and three finger boot into recovery and flash the kernel then and there or you will never get the proper recovery to flash anything rom or otherwise...go to the dev section and read the first couple stickies...they should get you on the right track but I would get more familiar with flashing stuff before you go to cm7/miui/or aosp...they can be tricky to recover from if you screw something up
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kproton:
Agreed with opinion about rommanager.

Rom manager was not smooth for roms before CM7.

Use odin for flashing CWM and any other roms.

It's simple.
[HTC EVO 3D] chase7545:
I just noticed that when I put my hand around the bottom of the phone my signal drops by 2-3 bars and as soon as i remove it, it goes back up. I can do it over and over again. Just out of curiosity I tried this with my evo 4g and the signal doesn't change. I've seen a bunch of people reporting that their reception isn't as good as other phones with the 3d. could it be the antenna placement just like the iphone 4?
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Can't recreate it here. Wrapped both hands around my phone like I was strangling it, didn't do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Also tried as the post above...notta.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
I would recommend getting a bumper...

No, for real though, the iphone had the issue because the antenna was built into the actual outside of the phone, when your skin touched it, it would change the attenuation which caused the issue of poor reception. Our antenna is totally internal so this would not happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] corybucher:
I think your holding it wrong. Seriously though I just did the same and was unable to recreate the issue. Might be defective.
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
My phone also does this I thought I was the only one that had.this problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I have this problem too... Anybody claiming they don't have this problem are in a good coverage area. If you download the app open signal maps you can see the drop in dbm once you hold the device, it's very irritating
[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
Mine does it to, very annoying.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
I saw somewhere in another thread that the radio antenna is indeed on the bottom of the 3d. Dont know if thats confirmed or not. But it would explain the drop when covered by hands.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
61% with nothing touching my phone.

70% with my hand covering the bottom.

56% with both hands around the phone.

I fail to see how this is like apple because EVERY PHONE loses signal when being touched. The problem with Apple's was that it dropped the calls.

Sent from my Shooter.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReinMaker:
Yes, without anything it's at 80% and once I grab it it drops to 30%. The antenna does seem to be at the bottom unlike the 4G which was on the top.

And calls drop all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] runeazn:
My problem is that if I cover the upper part but well I almost never do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
This needs to be recognized as a known issue since it has been brought up many times
[HTC EVO 3D] freshjr:
I noticed the same thing but wierd thing is sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

I could recreate it for 15 tries in a row but then I closed the internet browser and moved the phone a couple inches and the problem stopped.

I will keep monitoring the signal while I grab the phone and see what happens. But yes it did happen when I grabbed the bottom.
[HTC EVO 3D] ickwonder:
Mine does it too...this is the only problem I have
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
Its not a "known issue". It just so happens that this is a cell phone. Which has antennas. Which, when covered, loose reception. No way around that. Its the nature of cell phones.

Comparatively its like complaining that when in a lead lined room, you have poor reception.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
plus 1000

Sent from my Shooter.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
The iphone issue was caused by them leaving the antenna exposed on the outside of the phone. Whenever you would touch it in a certain spot it would short it out and you would lose the signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
i used that app and covered the phone up and nothing changed the only problem i have ever had is one of the cases i have blocks a little bit of my 4g signal but nothing else
[HTC EVO 3D] chase7545:
While it may not be exactly like the iphone, could it be similar in the fact the antenna placement isn't optimal? I think that most people hold their phones toward the bottom where the antenna is where as on other phones like the evo 4g they wouldn't be covering the antenna by doing this. I just know I've seen quite a few complaints regarding reception so this could be a feasible reason why.
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I think you may want to double check. This phone is notorious for dropping signal/calls and it might have been coincidental timing when you were holding the phone. I can put my phone on my desk and watch the bars go from 4 to 0 on a relatively frequent basis without a cloud in the sky.

The phone just can't lock onto a call which also causes a great deal of drain on the battery as well unfortunately. I do not know if that is part of the reason calls are so garbled or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
I've had this phone since release and I have never dropped a call. Don't generalize your problems that you have.
[HTC EVO 3D] chase7545:
doctor ****head why don't you go back to jerking off to kiddy porn. some people are interested in getting to the bottom of the widely reported signal issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Doesn't seem like your getting anywhere..if u think you have a defective phone return it..its really easy..just because it happens to you doesn't mean everyone is affected by it..
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
While I believe you may not have dropped a call I have to ask to what extent you use your phone (as a phone - not text or email but actual voice)? I average about 3500 minutes per month as my cell is my work phone. I travel to a few states on a regular basis and I know where my old Sprint HTC phones dropped calls in the past 7 years. Once while I was stuck under a medium length bridge on the way to Pasadena which it normally doesn't drop but I got stuck in traffic for a while under the bridge/tunnel. Twice on the way to Vegas out by the zzyzx exit. That's about it for the past 7 years.

I've had 3 EVO 3Ds so far - each has dropped calls numerous times in the past month - in California and Arizona. I've received one direct from Sprint, one at a Culver City Sprint store and one in a Tucson Sprint store. I do not believe I got 3 from a bad batch as I got them in various locations, weeks apart.

Due to the number of hours I spend on the phone each day I think I'm more likely to encounter the issue than someone who sends more texts than I do (although you may spend a couple hours ever single day on the phone as well).

I have an airave and I can have my phone a mere 5 feet from it and watch it lose connectivity to that airave. I work with a client Malibu and one in Pasadena who each have the EVO 3D. Both have encountered the issue numerous times. One got theirs direct from Sprint and the other at a Sprint store in Pasadena. The one in Malibu contacted sprint and they immediately gave her an airave even though she's been on Sprint for the past 5 years and never got one before (she had a blackjack and I can't remember what other Sprint phone). The guy in Pasadena also has a guy using a Sprint Vogue just 3 desks away and has nearly all bars and never drops a call.

I'm not saying that is an exhaustive test but I'm giving a pretty fair amount of data to show that it isn't a random incident unique to my phone. I can tell you that 2 CSRs from Sprint Sprint and a clerk at a Sprint store also were aware of the issue with the EVO 3D phone. Frankly if a Sprint CSR even knows what phones they carry I'm impressed with them and for them to know about this issue it must be a pretty common issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] chase7545:
Maybe if you read the thread you would have seen the following posts. Clearly I'm not the only one.

My phone also does this I thought I was the only one that had.this problem.

[HTC EVO 3D] DualSportDad:
ive never had a dropped call but my internet sure as hell crawls when i hold my phone by the ends. when watching a youtube video i have to hold the phone with my left hand only or else the video won't load. this has been with all 3 of my evo 3d's.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I'm pretty sure it's not just my phone because I've brought it in after having my first exchanged, they did the testing again and it passed. I believe the issue is with the antenna placement, wasn't very smart to put at the bottom.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Just did my own test. When not holding it -85dbm, picked the phone up in a normal operating position dropped to -95dbm
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Yes... it happens to any phone in "low signal areas" If your not in one of those areas... you shouldn't have a problem. I just tried it on my phone, -84 in my hand and -84 on the desk.

I hold my phone by the sides with a case and never have a phone. There really isn't ANY place thats optimal for the antenna.. Someone will hold the phone in that area.

Its just that the iPhone was around the edge.. which is how pretty much everyone holds the phone to make calls.

It is also possible you have a bad phone, who knows.
[HTC EVO 3D] ms79723:
I hope this is the case...because I'm going to start dropping calls like crazy. There are just some people I really only want to talk to for about 2-3 minutes.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Not really, the antenna may not be in the best place but it's nothing like what is wrong with the iphone 4s. You have to remember just how many radios this phone has: wimax, bluetooth, wifi, cdma, the new 1x advanced on their iden bands. If they where to put any of those, with the exception of 1x advanced, there instead then everyone would be noticing it.

With the signal jumping up and down that's just the phone switching between towers. How many bars you have does not equal signal strength, it takes into account background noise too. The only time that is an issue is if it's dropping calls.

Edit: Make sure your radio and PRL are up to date. If they are and it's still doing it try lowering your access overload class to 3 or 4. Anything lower is reserved for police and emergency units though so you don't want to go too low.
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I have full bars when it is near my airave and I'll watch it jump from the airave to a tower to no bars on a regular basis. It just doesn't like to lock onto any source for any length of time. I have the latest software and PRL - this is with a vanilla set up - completely reset to defaults.
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
Just got back from the Sprint store and had my phone tested . Guess what the antenna is faulty in it . But it gets so much more interesting from here . They tell me they will text me when my refurb phone arrives at their store monday(today is friday) . Yes I am about 8 days out of my 30 day period , BUT I had called two or three times during my 30 period complaining about signal issues on the phone . Still they insisted I either wait till monday or deal with HTC about a warranty claim . This fired me up right there on the spot . So instead of making a scene I called corporate and complained about how this issue was being handled . I was told due to the fact there had been complaints about signal issues prior to the 30 days being up I should qualify for having a new phone replacement mainly due to the fact no customer service rep advised me to go to the store about replacement . They just "Refreshed" services and sent me on my way . The woman I spoke to was very nice but I still feel I should have been given a new phone right on the spot and not told to wait till monday for a rebuilt phone in which I have heard and read numerous horror stories about . The woman on the phone said she would speak to her supervisor about possibly (Yeah possibly) sending me a new phone but I would still be recieving the refurb phone on monday . I also stressed to her that this was the only phone that I have I dont have a home phone . Me personally I dunno if Im sounding paranoid or not but I have a feeling this is just gonna get kicked curb side . Yeah I had one refurb before and it was messed up but it was a minor mess up I could overlook . The fact that I am only a few days out of my 30 day warranty with sprint and that an exception cant be made is what ticks me off when there is documented online chats and phone chats with sprint customer service in regards to this issue *end rant*
[HTC EVO 3D] cis22:
When I contacted HTC about a month ago they said they had gotten complaints about the signal problems on the phone but it wasn't yet a confirmed issue. I sent them an e-mail a few days ago and they called me back and gathered info about my phone. I'm hoping enough people are letting them know there is an issue that they are investigating it now. If you want to call them or email them you can go to htc dot com and go to support, customer service.
[HTC EVO 3D] dumasauce:
Seems like quite a few are getting that problem. I also notice the same thing. Though it doesn't drop my calls, I notice the signal go from full bars down to 1-2. This concerns me somewhat.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
I would guess it has to do with network strength, seems to happen when signal is bad to begin with
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
I thought I had this problem, but I just downloaded an app called Network Signal Info (it has a nice rolling graph) and actually tested this in a semi-scientific fashion.

My signal strength varied depending on a position of the phone between -86 and -99 dB (yes, my signal sucks at home, though I've never dropped a call here). But there was absolutely no correlation between how I held the phone and the signal strength.

It's likely that you have a defective phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian y.:
after testing it indeed is dropping bars(2-3)when I hold the lower half of the phone...never had a dropped call though. I have noticed in the past though that holding the phone a certain way did help load videos much quicker when on 3G.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I've taken this phone in and they say it isn't defective
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
I have an update: I was wrong earlier. I did some more-scientific testing, and these are the results.

1) Living room, close to a window - signal strength was decent, 3-4 bars. There seemed to be no significant changes when putting my hand around the phone. At least, not that I would call consistent.

2a) Bathroom, phone front facing door, hand on back - -93 dB.

2b) Bathroom, phone front facing door, hand on front - -100 dB.

2c) Bathroom, back of the phone facing door, hand on back - -100 dB.

2d) Bathroom, back of the phone facing door, hand on front - -84 dB.

2e) Bathroom, phone front facing away from or toward door, hands on back and front - signal lost.

These #2 results were fairly consistent, and I tested many times.

Conclusions:

i) Antennagate for Evo3d is real.

ii) The cellular antenna is located in the back of the phone, and therefore, is most affected by putting the hand around the back of the phone. But it's not sufficient to interrupt the cellular signal, especially if the front is facing the strongest signal direction.

iii) The effects are most drastic in confined spaces with a weak signal and limited reflections, where the signal is most directional. In an open space, where there are multiple strong reflections, putting the hand on just one side of the phone is going to have a minimal effect.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
it's been noted that the evo3d has god awful reception since the day it was released...
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Umm. Well I get awsome reception on my evo3d. Calls are clear and haven't had one droped call since I had it.

[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Thanks. That makes sense since I have just ok reception where I am (-83 to -87) not touching the phone of course :D
[HTC EVO 3D] mprunty:
The antenna is definitely in the backside of the phone, in the upper half where the camera lenses are. Used the OpenSignal app and by holding my phone there, I dropped from 91% signal strength to 65% immediately.

Holding the phone anywhere else doesn't cause a drop in signal strength.
[HTC EVO 3D] Xencer:
If I hold it at the the top I will drop 2 bars instantly and it will go back up if I take my hand off
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
All phones have issues... There is no good place for the antenna. Up top is blocked when holding in in landscape... It's just a problem with all cell phones.

I have bought Vibrant with CM7 on it... Does that mean that I already have GB bootloaders installed or I have to flash them if I want to flash other GB ROM? :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rel500:
Just cuz u have cm7 doesn't mean the Gb bootloaders r on it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerbalm306:
Most likely you have to ODIN back to flash if you want to switch ROMs from CM7 unless it's MIUI

So flash a GB bootloader!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humdingalinger:
CM7 Can use either Froyo or Gingerbread bootloaders. Chances are you do not have the GB bootloaders. You should Odin back to stock (I would suggest Eugene's 2.2 bc it is pre-rooted) then odin the GB bootloaders.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micstewart:
I'm experiencing incredibly slow WIFI since upgrading a ROM and wondered if there is anything I can do about. 200k down - 20k up and pings anywhere from 600ms to 1500ms. It also fails and reconnects.

Could the problem be related to the modem that was installed with the ROM? I'm unsure is this effects wifi speed? 3G is fine and running as it normally would.

If it isn't the modem what is the nest way of diagnosing issues with WIFI? what should I try re-installing / overwriting?

It's one niggle in a very stable smooth ROM.

I'm running the following if this helps anyone;

Phone model is a GT-I9000

firmware - 2.3.4

baseband I9000XXJVQ

kernel - 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085 Ficetobeast #darkcore_2.9.2_JVQ

Build Number - DarkyROM JVQ v10.2

try a different kernel as i do believe wifi drivers are contained within the kernel :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micstewart:
Many thanks. Is the modem part of the Kernel then? Should I try the darkyrom site to see if they have a different kernal for their ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
no, the modem is seperate, some people say modem effects wifi, others refute this...from personal experience i have found quite big differences with kernels, so yes, try on darkys thread for suggestions for alternative kernels :)

Just got an email from buymobilephones.net (UK Based) - they're allowing for preorders for an expected stock delivery next week on wednesday (17th Aug).

They're pretty good, i got my HTC Desire from them when it first hit the market. Only people who had stock of it at the time.

Sooo... If you want to, drop me a PM with your email and i'll refer you - gives me referal credits, then maybe people can post under this to say they've pre-ordered too and request referals? We all like freebies!!

FYI- the tariff i went for was O2 - 100mins, 500texts, 500MB (not much i know, but they do bigger) - 24month - £40 for the handset (Free options available) - £21.50pm!!!! That's seriously cheap.
