So I found a bug where in I was able to take screenshots when pressing the home button. But it would happen everytime I pressed the home button so I kept taking screenshots all the time. This happened when I just sent a message on Gtalk, the keyboard was still active and pressed home and it said something along the lines of screenshot saved. The only way to stop this was to turn it off then on, but the first try to press the power down button, it did not want to turn the screen off.

Anyway, just letting the crowd know out there what they could expect. Seems more bugs that I've personally come across than before the update.
[HTC Sensation] iamdeemo:
This is annoying the hell out of me!

Since the update I did earlier this has happened numerous times and the only way out of it is pressing the arrow key.

It goes back to normal after a few minutes then acts up again...

VERY odd.
[HTC Sensation] collinrupp:
Just checked out some other forums. This seems to be a pretty common error. The update did provide the ability to take a screen shot by holding the power button and hitting the home key.
[HTC Sensation] santitos2001:
Mine was doing the same, hitting power made it stop.
[HTC Sensation] danushenko:
Hi there. Im from Russia and I had this bug for a several times too. I have original non-operator version of Sensation 3g, so I don't think the reason is your operator or 4g ability.
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
Freaking hate this bug!
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Well at least yours work.mine comes out corrupt

Sent from my own custom Rom for sensation. 200mb free :3
[HTC Sensation] Tidbits:
Mine only does it when I use gtalk with sound or video. Other than that it never happens. To get rid of it I have to restart the device.
[HTC Sensation] alvaradorocks:
If interested, there is a temporary workaround if you are rooted.

That is, edit your build.prop file (/system/build.prop) with terminal or file explorer with root privileges and look for the line "ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true".

Either comment this line ("#") or change "true" to "false" then save build.prop and reboot twice.

THIS WILL DISABLE BUILT-IN SCREEN SHOOTS!! But it will also get rid of this bug.

Now go grab an app from Market if you need to take screen shoots, but don't like this bug.

It's driving me crazy!!!:mad::mad::mad:

[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
I have this bug too and it's VERY annoying. I would rather HTC fix it than me having to disable a function of the phone!
[HTC Sensation] Kevinr144:
I have the same problem!

Also the power button doesn't always turn the screen off and vice versa, it doesn't always turn it on. The screen comes on by itself at random times and sometimes when you press the power button, the screen turns off but then back on by itself.
[HTC Sensation] mps83:
Im gettin the exact same problems, the damn screenshot bug kept happenin to me today, i ended up with about 50 unwanted screenshots in my gallery. They best sort this out soon or i'm gonna go mad!!
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem.
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:
Just disable it... I did I'm much happier now LOL .... Of course you need root
[HTC Sensation] mps83:
I've not rooted unfortunately:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] kkinder:
Has anyone heard more on this? My girlfriend's phone is doing it and she's afraid of voiding her warranty by rooting it.
[HTC Sensation] vikramdhani:
Is there a way to stop this bug without the rooting of the phone ?
[HTC Sensation] CyberStorm98:
Mine just did this for the first time today. I didn't even know the Sensation was capable of taking screenshots until the home button just randomly started snapping them today. That was annoying.
[HTC Sensation] McKrout:
This happens too me all the time and usually pressing the power button again seems to kill it, but...

From what I can tell, it actually seems to be an issue with the power button being 'stuck' to an extent. Not sure if it's actually stuck or if the OS just thinks it's still being pressed. All I know is I cleared about 80 screen shots out today and that's just from the last two days.

If anyone figures out what the real issue is and a fix (that doesn't require the phone to be rooted,) I'd love to know.
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
check out my thread, it is indeed a hardware issue. (the metal flake which functions as power button is wearing out so hence the messed up power button). I hope you're lucky enough to have it replaced under warranty, I wasn't as lucky. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374836
[HTC Sensation] McKrout:
Sadly, the fear of a broken power button is why I used the track ball on my Nexus One to wake it up as soon as the feature was added to CM... now I wish my Sensation had a track ball.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I use tap tap app from the market. You just wave your hand over three proximity sensor to wake the phone, then I just user screen off app to put it asleep. I very rarely have to user the power button.

What is the best smartphone between Galaxy and HD2??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Your joking, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Just check launch date of both devices and you will figure it out yourself :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I had a HD2 for about 20 months and used Android on it for nearly a year. I used most of the stock ROMs that were available, and usually plumped for Nexus 1 ROMs, as I really like the pure Android experience.

So basically, I've had a fair amount of experience with running Android as a daily OS on a HD2. I LOVED my HD2 and was VERY sad to see it go. Anyway, back to your question...

Galaxy S2. Hands down. No competition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Right now the Galaxy s 2 is technically the best Android phone, and arguably the best phone period.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
HAHah YEAH thats the first thing i thought when i read this post...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolman4now:
WTH !!!!

He's definitely joking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
yea...HTC HD2 was sort of **** last year so I never purchased it...plus it had Windows on it LOL...Desire was **** 6 months ago so its gone and Desire HD was **** 3 months so its gone...HELLO SGSII!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1xinfusion:
HD2 wins in the development aspect. but hardware wise SGS2 wins hands down...

lets hope that with the amount of sales SGS2 is getting, the amount of people developing for it can reach HD2's amount (a man can wish right lol :p)

HD2 can run android, wm6.5, wp7, meego, linux, and etc...... lol its just missing the hardware aspect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
Still have both: HD2 as a backup-phone and now SGS II as main phone.

Once in a while I still work on HD2 and am always shocked how SLOW this is whereas when I bought it some 2 years ago I thought it was lightning fast...... :):D;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AguazeJ@gmail.com:
Is SGSII T-Mobile?, is it out in stores?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholadia:
SGS2 is the best
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisey38:
I still love my hd2 but this person cannot be serious.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
Go for the hd2 dude! Its 50 times faster!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransarj:
best thread ever :))

how about googling the specs of each phone before asking which one is better??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incarniac:
This almost exactly the same as me, and I agree wholeheartedly with the conclusion :)

man i had the same annoying problem, but i saw a case,holster combo and had to pick it up (from verizon)..its already bulky with the extended battery but i didnt care with the extra added thickness to it, the annoying squeeking is now completely gone lol and i actually love the look and feel of this combo holster together, view pics for reference =]
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
I had the same case and holster for the stock battery from verizon and quit using it after my phone slid out and hit the floor 5 times...

Went back to a leather case that you put the phone in (with belt clip).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
perhaps a tad of electrical grease?...

If its the same thing that's happening to me then its not so much a squeak as it is feeling like its not completely on right.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueis300:
I had that case and mine has always been tight. Had to really try and get it out to answer. I have 3 extras back from cpo they sent.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
The modem has it own CPU and NVRAM. It controls everything everything from decoding voice and video to gps to radio and modem delta update is stored there. Samsung protected the NVRAM in download mode so it does not get overwritten

1. get odin and add the modem.bin to the phone

2. check phone EFS clear

3.start

4.???

5. profit!

You should know anything you do in odin will may cause a brick. I am not responsible for any damages nor i am not responsible for anything that happen to you or your mom, sister,brother or your soon to be ex wife

If you are using a custom rom (some roms remove apk which is required for activation) :

make sure you write your MSL and MSID down.

after doing this "fix" if you need to re activate.

type ##MSL# then click edit in terminalmode

type your number then press return key on pad.

Type your MSID in then press return key.

then finally click done and phone will reboot and should work after a profile update.
[Epic 4G General] samwise7:
I'm on the EH06 leak from samfirmware, rooted and nothing else. Does doing this wipe your phone again, can you explain what you mean by ??? in step 3.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
??? is always the step between what you need to do and profit. Its science.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Can other ppl having GPS issues verify this works? Would be awesome if it works for all.
[Epic 4G General] TurboFool:
Okay, just did it and unlike what was mentioned in the other thread, I don't see it asking me to redo my phone activation and such. Should that happen so I know it worked?

EDIT: All right, I just made two changes: I re-enabled com.samsung (I had disabled this previously in order to stop the annoying EF10-EF02 upgrade requests), and I reflashed the modem instead of CWM using this method and cleared EFS. I'm guessing it was probably re-enabling com.samsung that was relevant not the re-flashing of the modem, but either way I wanted to provide both steps here. After doing that and booting up it ran through Sprint activation and then rebooted and updated the PRL. We'll see about GPS, but I'm hopeful. This train of thought makes sense.

EDIT 2: Just tried to place a call and got a very odd error message in my ear, then was transferred to Sprint support who had to reset something on their end, then told me to power off my phone for 30 seconds and start it back up and place another call.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
I am out of town and I don't have access to computer yet
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I did ##gpsclrx# and reset my GPS stats. I re-installed GPS status and now I get lock on 8 of 8 or 8 of 9 satellites on EH06 modem. I don't know if its coincidence or not. When I first did it and tried GPS status, I had a lock on 0 of 8 but on reinstall its locking well now. 3m GPS lock indoors
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Thanks John! I did this and get instant locks but still can't break that 4 satellite limit! Getting 4 out of 8 instantly. I wonder where my limit is coming from.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Try it again a couple hours after the initial boot. I have great GPS for the first six or eight hours and then it craps out on me.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
This really seems to fix a couple things (nvram) gps locks fast on more sattelites than b4 and my 3g is pullin 1.5mbps down and 700kbps up sittin home never got better than 400kbps down and 250 up. Just don't do it unless ya got the time to call sprint to reactivate the phone. Followed noobnl's instructions, 10 minutes on the phone with sprint and bingo so far so good.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
I'm not worried about locks or numbers of sats so much, I don't really have much of a problem there especially using GPS Status. The big question is, does this fix the GPS crash/force close problem after using it for a few minutes in G.Maps or such?
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
I've heard this should fix it but haven't had a good chance to try it. Mine never locked up until 20 to 30 minutes
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
fixed post
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
My question is what are these minor bugs and whee di they come from
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
I'm wondering why after the hands free activation it requires a call to customer care? If it's as simple as manually programing the MDN and MSID (which handsfree should do anyway), then ##your msl# and hit view to take note of them before doing this. Then do the same steps to edit after handsfree.

If that's not the case, ##SCRTN# might do the trick. You'll need your MSL for that as well (it's a lesser known android factory reset, only forces phone to activate, we use it all the time).

EDIT: now that I think about it, noobnl, doesn't this do the same thing as ##SCRTN#, and simply wipe the radio (thereby forcing a handsfree activation)? If a user has their MSL (which can sometimes be easily obtained by a getprop command in connectbot), that seems like a much easier method. Unless of course, EFS clear does something else.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I dont understand how Noobnl could post such a un-NOOB FRIENDLY thread on fixing something on our epic's. You trying to get a bunch of people asking and saying "OMFG u BROKE MY PHONE!!!"

seriously even I had to google up how to fix my service after testing this out. lucky i have two epic's. wth.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
You should know anything you do in odin will may cause a brick. I am not responsible for any damages nor i am not responsible for anything that happen to you or your mom, sister,brother or your soon to be ex wife
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
Add this to your OP.

make sure you write your MSL and MSID down.

after doing this "fix" if you need to re activate.

type ##MSL# then click edit in terminalmode

type your number then press return key on pad.

Type your MSID in then press return key.

[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
were you using a custom rom?
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
was using stock ec05

and tried on my srf 1.2

EDIT: ok so my fix for this fix works on custom roms and stock
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
Well, I've never really had issues with my GPS, but I thought I'd give this a try because my 3G data speeds have always been horrible (200kbps). My data speeds didn't change, but I must say that it did change my GPS performance A LOT.

I am now getting 11/11 satellites indoors within seconds! I've never had my GPS lock in my home before, and now it does it every time within 5 seconds!

I am on SRF 1.2 w/ EC05 Modem. I tried to input my info as Shoulon suggested, but every time I did, the MSID would be reset back to 0000000000 after reboot. I tried multiple times using both the hardware & software keyboard (typing both phone# & MSID each time) with no luck. No big deal tho, I just dialed voicemail which transferred me directly to an agent who fixed it for me, then I was back up and running within a few min.

I'm sure everyone's mileage will vary, but I highly recommend this fix!
[Epic 4G General] Namorbrowneyes:
Anyone with slow 3g speeds should run the 3g turbo charge script; this looks like it helps gps though
[Epic 4G General] nismology:
Link??
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
I did not have to call sprint on EH06 stock odex..

I think samsung asked sprint flash with clear nvram/phone efs.

Real men post Real Fixes than some useless ROM. I never thought of using efs clear because i thought it didn't do anything because it was for efs partition (which was bml3/stl3) for GSM version until somebody tried it and posted the result and i realized i found the solution to clearing the nvram
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Nice find noob, worked for me, no need to call after, ERA EH06 ROM.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
So no GPS lockups after 20-30 min of using GPS? That's my biggest issue. No need to reactivate on EH06 after EFS clear either?
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
GPS good for 10m on my way to the store (TeleNav) 7 sats. I cleared efs as I installed EH06 modem this morning, never hd to re-activate.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
How to get MSL via adb or Terminal emulator commands:

1. Plug your phone into your computer.

2. Open a command line (assuming you have installed the sdk and all that good stuff.)

In adb type:

adb shell getprop

and adb will spit out a long list of information. Look through it for

ril.msl [6-digits]

Terminal -

Terminal Emulator for free from the market.

Open it.

Type:

su

Hit enter.

Type:

getprop
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
You can also try-

getprop ril.MSL

This will display the MSL# only, and you won't have to sift through the other information.
[Epic 4G General] troyolson92:
Thanks noobl, and metallica

To all like me that didn't know, MSID number can be found at: menu> settings> about phone> status
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
Oh I forgot to mention that the fix I posted. I had to do it like 4 times then it finally worked, due to msid not wanting to save.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I was able to clear EFS successfully, and the phone activated itself upon reboot.

So far, the GPS only utilizes 2-4 satellites out of 8-10 still. I'll report back if my GPS freezes/crashes.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
OK, so here's why I think we have to get customer service involved when we clear modem NVRAM. .

I think sprint uses some sort of additional fingerprinting to validate their phones on the network. They do this to prevent fraud and make it much harder to use cloned ESNs. This fingerprint must reside in the NVRAM.

In order to get my phone back on the network, customer service had to remove my phone from their records and re-enable it. At that point it records an new "fingerprint". That's my guess and I'm sticking to it.

Surprisingly, even when voice calls were erroring out, 3G data worked.

On the other hand, I'm now getting 18 or 24 foot accuracy on GPS. quick locks and a minimum of 4 satellite locks. If this fixes the random reboots then we have a winner!

Again a guess here, but it sounds like with each modem flash there is some accumulated "cruft" in the nvram. This me have cleared it out. Too bad I had to get customer service involved to get voice calling working again.

Edit: BTW, if you are on a SERO account this turns into a bigger pain because your phone won't automagically route to the right customer service person, you have to manually call CS, which places you in business accounts, then when they figure out they don't know how to fix it they forward you to customer service.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
If someone has activation issues would flashing back to stock correct it instead of calling customer service?
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Doubt it since flashing doesn't normally touch the part of NVRAM that is modified here. My phone would OTA activate but the voice network still wouldn't validate it. It gave an error 16. Customer service had to delete and restore the data at their end before the phone would work again.
[Epic 4G General] TurboFool:
I had mixed results after I did this, so I'm not yet sold:

First time with GPS after I did it I got amazingly fast locks (faster than ever), but locked UP completely in less than 10 minutes so assumed it was a bust. I later used it again after a reboot and took a full 40-minute drive without trouble. And then about 15 minutes into another 50+ minute drive my entire PHONE froze during it which may or may not be related to this problem.

So overall I'm not sure this fixed the problem, or merely improved it. I'll test again today, obviously.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Thought I'd try this but I don't get anything to pop out after I type ##MSL#

This is supposed to be typed on the dial pad, so it's ##675#
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
You need to type your actual MSL number, not "MSL".
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
This is the exact same trouble I have with GPS before trying this fix. Phone either locks up GPS or locks up the whole phone on almost every long use. Guess I won't bother trying the fix.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Boy I feel dumb! Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] photoframd:
Thanks!

I finally have a GPS sync with 9 satellites! Before this, both GPS Test and GPS Status never showed any satellites and my GPS was hit-or-miss with both EH06 & EG22 modems.

I reinstalled the EH06 modem with "Phone EFS Clear" checked. My first automatic attempt at re-activating the phone failed, but I rebooted my phone and the Epic activated automatically.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
I am glad it working great for you guys. It our fault that we did not check efs clear in this rc/beta release
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Couldn't get the phone to activate so I made a call, got a error message and was kicked out to Sprint customer service.

Working now.

I cant get ##MSL# to work.

On SRF 1.2

have my MSL and MSID.

so is the only other option to call sprint to do activation over the air?

##insert MSL here#

If that's not working, are you sure you have the right MSL #?
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
Ok I have a little faith in this. I turned on nav and went in foodtown, lost gps signal. Came out and it picked it back up. That never happened on any GB build, once the signal was lost reboot was necessary to ge it back.

Lol..I still didn't have any luck with that. There has to be a way to reset it as well. I haven't figured it out yet
