[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
The market was acting a little flaky on my Evo3D, so I thought I'd reboot the phone. I recently flashed ViperROM RC 1.3, so now I get the option to "Hot Restart". Sure, why not I thought. So I choose the "Hot Restart" option. And my phone never came back on.

Tried every combination I could think of, pulled the battery, held the power button down for a minute, held volume down and the power button.. Nothing happens. No flickering of the screen, no lights, nothing.

If I plug it into AC, the charge light comes on red, stays red for a few seconds, turns green, then turns off. The battery was fully charged when I tried to reboot it.

If I plug it into a PC, and issue an "adb devices", I get the following:

D:\Downloads>adb devices

List of devices attached

HT16CHX00895 recovery

Recovery?!?

I can adb shell into the phone, and it looks like I have root (I get a "/ #" prompt).

I can push/pull from the phone.

I tried all combinations of adb reboot (with and without bootloader or recovery), and while it does reboot the phone (and the screen DOES flicker at this point), it just goes dark and again and appears to shut down (but adb devices still shows it as in recovery mode).

After about a minute, the phone appears to go to full sleep mode, and adb disconnects.

I've searched google and xda-developers, and can't find ANYTHING about this.

Anyone have ANY ideas???

Getting desperate here folks!

This happened to me as well. I dont really remember how I got phone to turn on but I did. Try pulling battery for longer duration. I do know that I pulled the battery. I will try and think more of what I did when it happened to me. So you cant get into the bootloader or recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
adb reboot usually works for me when i get stuck during hot restart... pull the battery and wait 10-15 seconds then press the power button for like 3 seconds, put the battery back in and see if that helps
[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
Thanks for your assistance.

I pulled the battery, let it sit for about 2 minutes, held the power button down for 15 seconds, put the batter back in, hit the power button again for 5 seconds. Nothing. :(

Scott
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Sometimes you'll need to hold the power button down for more than ten seconds, with the battery in of course.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
I pulled the battery, let it sit for several minutes, put the battery back in, held down the volume down and the power button. Nothing :(

No, I can't get anything anything on the phone. Absolutely nothing happens when I hit the power button, no led's blink, the screen doesn't flicker, nothing.

ADB does appear to work. ADB REBOOT does make the phone reboot, and it does make the screen flicker, but then it just goes dead again.

Thanks for your help!

Scott
[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
I just tried holding it down for about a minute.. Nothing :(

Thanks for your help,

Scott
[HTC EVO 3D] smark72:
Try what the other poster said. When I read it I kind of remember holding the power button in for a little once I replaced the battery after the pull. I recall holding the power button for more than 5 sec, letting go then hit power again and it finally came on. If that doesnt work maybe you can pm the dev from viperrom and ask for help.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
There was a thing where some people needed to pull their sdcard for some reason.... Once powered up without it you could shut down and restart and put it back and we're all good.... I needed to once, though the charge light never came on for me... Worth a shot
[HTC EVO 3D] smark72:
I have never used ADB before but could you push a PG86100 update zip if there was one on your sd card or does that have to be done through the bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
Progress! Removing the sd card makes the

adb reboot bootloader

command work, so I can get into the bootloader now... but , if I select reboot, it goes back to doing the same thing.... and I select bootloader, and then recovery, it does the same thing.

Trying a bunch of other stuff, nothing's panning out yet.

Any ideas now that I can get into bootloader?

Thanks!

Scott
[HTC EVO 3D] smark72:
can you read anything on your sd card when you plug in the usb? I would guess not if you cant see the screen to choose storage instead of charge only. Sounds like somehow flashing a stock update.zip would get you going again, I just wouldnt know how to do it. Can you put your sd card in an adapter for pc to get the PG86100 image on it then place it back into your phone and run it from bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
do a battery pull and hold down the power for 10 seconds with the battery out, put the battery back in and hold volume up and press and hold power until it turns on

if that doesnt work, flash a new recovery through adb and see if it boots up
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
So, hboot works, adb works...does fastboot work?

Either way, I'd flash a recovery and a rom....I was also thinking maybe refresh hboot, but, if you are getting to the bootloader I don't think it's corrupted, but, maybe the other parts are....

I'd start with recovery and a rom...if no luck there flash another hboot on top. I'm a big fan of the eng hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delvorak:
Problem solved!

It was the battery, somehow. When I got home from work, I swapped out the chinese knockoff battery with the original stock battery, hit the power button, and it started right up. Swapped out for the same knockoff battery, and it won't start again. WTF?

Anyway, thanks everyone for your suggestions, I appreciate it!

Scott
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
when the battery gets depleted completely you need to charge it a while for it to be able to start up again may be thats what happened...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeffery:
Just curious, do the blue bars beneath the graph correlate with the time axis above it?

Would I be right in thinking that my battery life plummeted as soon as I turned off wifi?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
Yes. Probably more likely to be related to screen on, and possibly mobile data. Depending on the brightness, it seems like 4-6 hours of screen on will eat the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Yes it does correlate.

The thing is you just had WiFi on for some period, but you didn't do much in that specific time, it was just on. But just after you had turned it off some apps or processes kept running and you also used the device.

That graph looks pretty fine to me.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
That's not true screen by itself will not eat battery so fast , review site did media playback test of SD material and battery lasted little over 9 hours.

Only combination of radio+CPU+display will get you 4 hour mark, that's worst case scenario.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeffery:
Cool, thanks for the replies. Makes sense now :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
Here is what I mean:

When using portrait and launching an app that forces landscape (most games, for example), it always defaults to 90 degree rotation (ie. Turning the phone counterclockwise). With the SGS in a lot of games this is uncomfortable when plugged in because of the USB port's location. If the other landscape orientation (270 degrees I guess, or turning the phone clockwise from portrait) were used the cable would be on top and you could rest your hand beneath it. It would also have the advantage of your hand not covering the light sensor and causing brightness changes.

So my question is, is there an app that can force this globally, or maybe a configuration change I've missed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicool:
I dont think thats possible :(

but i guess a software can be built cosidering the fact that our captivate supports landscape in both directions in other apps and while reading and browsing on net
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
I've seen posts about orientation settings in build.prop but they were all froyo. I've also read that since gb there is a screenOrientation= reverseLandscape option for individual apps' AndroidManifest.xml file, so editing them individually should work. Just makes me think there must be a value somewhere that defines what the default landscape orientation is, just don't know if it's compiled or easy to modify.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
If anyone is interested, there's an app on market called Orientation Control that can force orientation, even has a tasker plugin. I created a tasker profile for apps that force landscape and used the plugin to force reverse

landscape instead, then an exit task to set it back to portrait. Works perfectly :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
Alright, I have no clue as to why this is happening. I went to every remedy with no working solution. Tried nearly every Rom and changed kernels.

I have uploaded a screenshot of what I get when I try to boot bt5, any help is appreciated.

Also when I go into any file explorer to find the "existing" file no such file is found, even formatted SD card to get the same error.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tun4f1sh:
looks like whatever version of busybox you're using isn't working properly, try a different one
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
I've tried every version of busybox they have. Nothing seems to work. It's always the same errors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hat007:
I have flashed my phone with custom kernel and counter grow up

NOW what the probleme if i have 99 in the counter ?

their is a max number ?

and when I touch the max my phone will be bricked ?

when you flash with recovery the counter grown up ??

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Never heard any limitations on counter!

Just use the USB Jig to reset. Ebay or Google it.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
When you hit 99 the phone gets bricked... j/k ;)

Using this root method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196131

once i get to the last step of flashing TWR the zip starts and then says installation aborted. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknown_Hero:
Rename the TWRP Zip file to PG86IMG and place this on the root directory of

your SD card. The pull the battery out of your phone, pop it back in and boot into bootloader (vol down + power), the bootloader should auto detect the zip folder and select "yes" to update the zip. Once finished reboot phone normally then try and boot into recovery and you should have TWRP installed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tim-tim:
Hello Photon owners.

The time has come to flood Motorola's forum requesting:

1. The Photon be added to http://opensource.motorola.com as an android device

2. For Googlorola to release the source code to the linux kernal as well as the complete build environment. (This is your chance to help get dev's to work on why the 4G break after the unlock, and to help get ready to unleash the pure win out of this device "AOSP")

3. Our bootloaders unlocked or an update to unlock our bootloaders. (We already have this I know. Its what we originally asked for. Personally I could give a **** less, but its all about consistency.)

So far like 4 or 5 people have posted there. we need everyone to take 5 -10 minutes out of their day, and flood that forum like no ones business. The faster we get what we have requested, the faster we can start taking full advantage of what this amazing phone is capable of.

Btw... heres the link to the thread https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/55574?tstart=0

There is a charming forum mod over there named Mark. He doesn't know his head from his ass. He's probably sweating losing his job as soon as Google really steps in.

[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
hi, so i was looking at Leedroid ROM and noticed in the OP it says that you can flash an optional file that will delete everything and format to ext4... this raised a few questions for me since I came from Nexus S.... is the stock sensation formatted in ext3 or 4? Also, don't most of the custom roms upgrade to ext4 or no? and do i have to use this file in the OP of Leedroid's ROM to format the whole system to ext4 before flashing an ext4 rom? I already asked many times in the dev section and nobody would help me out so if someone can help clear this up for me I would appreciate it... thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Scupra:
I wish I could chime in more for you but I do know that when flashing LeeDROID it converts to ext4 so I would guess that it isn't that way to start.
[HTC Sensation] Bernardos70:
From Terminal Emulator, you can type in "mount" without the quotes and it'll tell you which file system is used in each "mount" (analogous to partition, if you're a windows user).

I just did it on my stock sensation 4G (TMOUS) and it's mostly, if not all, EXT4 already. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
thanks for the response guys!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
I am using captivate for a long time now..and faced a problem..which obviously a common problem for all of the captivate users...

which is very low speaker volume...its there in both the situation..when we are on a call and put our phone on loudspeaker or even when there is an incomin call and its ringing..

i missed many calls just coz i couldnt hear them...

tried lot of apps which claims to increase the speaker volume...but sorry to say..i cant notice any change..or may be if there is a change...then its so less ..which is of no use..

so i searched around and found some ringtones which r quite loud in nature...so just posting here to help other captivate users...

i didnt create any of them..i just got it from diff diff sources n places...

hope ppl will find it useful..or else if its a waste then i m sorry ...and admin can delete this thread...

these files r mp3..so ppl can download it and put it on sd..and just play it thru music player..and set it as ringtone..or if u hav root access

then u can put it in system/media/audio/ringtones...and reboot then u can see it in the phone ringtones menu

u dont hav to change it to ogg files..mp3 will serve fine...

if ppl will like this thread..then i will add some sms notification aswell...let me know if its useful and u ppl r satisfied then i will add

coz that is also too low...attimes i dont even know for hours that i hav a pending sms to read if i dont check my phone...

Edit : added 3 loud sms notification and 1 loud alarm tone..

hittin thanx wouldnt hurt if u like my thread... :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] adicool:
Thank you mate,had this problem for sometime now....!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
if ppl will like this thread..then i will add some sms notification aswell...

coz that is also too low...attimes i dont even know for hours that i hav a pending sms to read if i dont check my phone...coz there is no inbuilt led notification also for captivate...though for led notification captivate users do use some apps...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xpakage:
Those would be nice also.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
added 3 loud sms tones and 1 alarm tone also..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Chuckd610:
Great idea!! I've been looking for some way to increase the volume.....just hit the thanks meter, but feel free to post a donate button.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
thanx for the thanx button...

and great idea!! abt the donate button.. :)

so thanx...

and yes these ringtones did make alot of difference in my captivate...and was bored with the ringtones which was comin with the rom..and i didnt even like them..

most of theringtones r indian music..but its just music..not the words...so doesnt matter..but 2-3 i added is diff....

i will update more soon..and ppl can hear it before they put it in their phone..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jgotti107:
If you're rooted its apps that lets you control the speakers volume...you have to be careful tho you can cause permanent damage to your device it you crank it up to high. It tells you the safe thresholds though. I'm using it now. Feel free to PM me and I will send you a link.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
this thread is basically for people..who doesnt wanna take risk of using such apps(as u only mentioned that its risky)..and every phone user isnt a techie...

..and these ringtones will work for both rooted and nonrooted phone user....rooted user will only hav the benefit of movin these ringtones to their rom ringtone folder..and can see it in dorect menu of ringtones...

so basically its easy n simple..and nice melodies .. :)

but as u mentioned..i will certainly like to try that app..i hav sent u a pm..will post the feedback after use..though i did try few apps from the market already...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BenKranged:
Yes what is the root app to increase external speaker volume?

I only know voodoo sound for the headphones.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
that app is known as volume+ ..its available in the market...thats what this man was suggesting..

but i did download and used it after his recommendation again..but its useless..and its more like equalizer....

so if u put all the eqalizin values to max then like bass n treble...but then it kills the quality of the music...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] artvandalay22222:
use a music editor to make a ringtone, lower the quality, but increae the gain. I did theis for a couple ringtones and they are definitly louder
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
that's also one way...

I do that someone when I like any particular music.and if I want that for my phone...and if the volume is low...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rye&ginger:
Generally you want to find the high frequencies in songs to use for ringtones. Bass sounds wont work since the speaker is so small.

And I have also used audio editors to apply EQ to remove some bass frequencies and increase gain of the high frequencies.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] killer_raj:
very much correct.

and basically cappy's speakers r not designed for bass frequencies....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] d6bmg:
Some good collections here...

thanks. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] artvandalay22222:
Nothing like replying to a two year old post lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] d6bmg:
I was searching for loud ringtones for my S4 and came across this. Downloaded it and the collection seemed good. So, I replied to show my appreciation to the OP for his effort.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] artvandalay22222:
Here's a what I do. I use ringdroid from the play store to make any ringtone I like. Then use an app called mp3 amplifier, which increases the"gain". In other words, it makes it as loud as you want, or as loud as your phone can handle. My favorite is "welcome to the jungle", it's loud as hell
[Captivate Themes and Apps] qwertyujhgfdsa:
thanks you, it perfect with my cappy :good:

Hello GUIse,

I know this may seem a little sudden due to me releasing an update of my theme literally 2 minutes ago, but, the timing couldn't of been any worse. I've received some sort of bad news (to me) and I feel I don't have the strength to keep supporting/making themes anymore. Plus, I now have a new job which is taking most of my time up anything. So, due to these 2 statements above, I can no longer create themes as much as I would love to. This is probably the wrong section but I only posted into the SGSII section anyways. I would like to thank everybody for supporting me. Especially Pulser, who forgave me over the Infusion controveusy.

I'm sorry to B3311 & Pele as I cannot support the Black Android Theme anymore, and sorry to my donators.

I hope to see you in the future.
