[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Hello all, i recently got my phone back, i bricked it. They didnt noticed and did a board swap :P

Well now i got my android back on track but im having some service problems.

When I'm at home, i sometimes lose service, but even when I do have service i have to try an average of 20 times before a text i send actually goes out. Also i can't recieve or make phone calls.

When im at work though, i have no problem what so ever. Everything works like a charm, and thats why i'm confused. I already contacted Vodafone, they say there isn't anything wrong with there network and my phone should work.

So any tips on what I could do? Flash a different ROM? Reflash this one? (because there was a country wide problem with the Vodafone network whilst i was installing this rom)

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for reading, Greetings Thierry
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
You should check which radio you have on your hd2.

2.15er radio is recommended for usage with android :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Im currently on 2.15.50.14 radio.

I saw it was recommended in some guys guide. So that shouldn't be the problem if im correct?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Yes it shouldn´t be.

Hmm to make sure that software is okay do a complete reflash or try another ROM.

Could be also the kernel.

Try this one and flash it via CWM
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Ok im reflashing this rom cause i really love it :p

Hope it will refresh some service settings or something. Im thinking maybe he got some fault settings when the vodafone network was down, i dont know. Hoping :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Yes wipe everything and reflash all the things (btw do you use clockwork?).

If you need further help write me a pm and we can figure it out ;)

Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Ok so, i did this:

- Reflashed the MIUI rom. (same problem)

- Flashed dif. rom. (same problem)

- Reflashed MIUI rom. (same problem)

- Flashed new kernel. (same problem)

Any other ideas? :(

Oh yeh and i use clockwork :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Okay you can do following :

Run task29 (will erase everything except bootloader) : do some search for the prog and the how to!

Go into bootloader to

Flash magldr and flash it :)

Flash clockwork mod with right partition etc

Flash new rom.

Otherwise it's a network problem or a hardware (but i don't think so since you said it works if you are not at home).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Wait that could be it, i flashed 250mb when i got my phone back from the repair guys.

But before that i used the 150mb one, could that be it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
It depends on how much space your rom needs.

You should see the roms thread to check what layout it needs and how much space.

But if it's still the same rom like you had before (and if it was working before like it should) flash a 150mb layout :)

Probably this is the issue
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Well i did everything you described, but still nothing :S

Im running out of ideas here, how can I have service before i bricked my phone and at my work, but not at home?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Me too :/

Arghhh I think it's the network.

It shouldn't be your phone since we checked the main possibilities :/

I am really sorry but you can try to flash another kernel. Try tytung kernel. It's my last idea :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Therk:
Its not ur fault, im really happy for all the help if got from you :) thanks.

I tried the kernel, no luck. Im gonna bring it over to vodafone, let them figure it out :P Can't believe its the phone or the SIM.

Will keep you updated, thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
You are welcome :)

Write me a pm about what they told you :)

Maybe you should flash windows mobile before you go to them so they can't say it's android causing this issues :)

Or you can surprise them with windows phone haha :)
[HTC Sensation] alucardunit1:
I have just Chromed my sensation and am wanting to put a cover on it so i can go around with no case on. what in your opinion would be better zagg or ghost armor or what.
[HTC Sensation] glenwild:
This response will not fully answer your question, but I can recommend a screen cover.

I have tried a variety of different screen shields and the Zagg invisibleSHIELD is by far my preference. It nicely hides fingerprints and cuts down on reflectivity (less glossy "wet" look) which is more to my taste as I do not like distracting reflections in TVs, monitors, etc. Moving my finger over the cover is fairly smooth with some very minor tactile resistance. However moving my finger upward does tend to stutter if I apply anything more than light contact.

Zagg offers an optional body cover, but it was not something I was concerned about for my particular needs. Given the sort of body armor you are reviewing, you might also consider a hybrid approach, e.g. the Zagg screen with some other body armor.

It is pricier than all the rest, but worth it, IMHO. If you go the Zagg route you can usually find coupon codes using your favorite search engine, like free shipping and save a few $$$. Every so often they email me ads; I just checked and the only thing I see is free shipping on orders over $29.98, but they are offering 75% off for select older handsets.

Also, I found the wisdom of this Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ4EM7EuT7U to be extremely helpful -- especially about wetting the shield on both sides and keeping you fingers real wet.

I don't have any vested interest in Zagg although I wish I could have gotten some sort of reward for the number of folks that are now using it thanks to my recommendation.

Hope this helps ...
[HTC Sensation] alucardunit1:
Yeah i have a zagg on my screen right now i am just seeing if any one has had better luck with the others because my local Zagg store has shut down and i have to get the full body at full cost now instead of what i have already
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
While I used to be a ZAGG head back in the day, I've recently switched over to SGP :-) The good thing about them is they usually offer several different grades of matte/clear/crystal clear/etc... BUT, I think they only have a matte full body shield currently :-(
[HTC Sensation] Lord60:
GadgetShieldz

It's just like zagg et al but you get full body protection for $7 instead of $25-$30.

Takes patience to install but well worth it. I love mine.
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
What about Phantom Skinz Matte Full Body Kit? I would have time for installation and I am pleased of the durability of Zagg on my Omnia. The good things about Phantom Skinz are that offers two packages on online orders, has matte finish and is cheaper than Zagg. Which one would you recommend, Zagg, Phantom or another one :confused:
[HTC Sensation] deemota:
Bodyguardz are the best hands down!!!!
[HTC Sensation] glenwild:
Nice! Got some more options to check on the next go-around. Always love getting value and a bargain.
[HTC EVO 3D] Blade92:
I have a HTC Evo 3D and i have rooted my phone using HTC's method and yes i am a noob to android. I have Android 2.3.4 (installed the update before i rooted). I have Rom manager on my phone and have already flashed clockwork mod recovery and downloaded viper rom 1.3. Now when i try to install it from the SD card all my phone does is give me 3 Pre installation choices:

1.Backup Existing Rom

2.Wipe Data and Cache

3.Wipe Dalvik Cache

and the 3rd option is aleady checked and i click ok and another screen pops up it says Press ok to reboot into Clockwork recovery mode and continue installation.

And all my phone does is restart and nothing happens can someone please tell me if im doing something wrong or am i missing something?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
What recovery are you using?

A backup is always recommended.

Wipe Data means you clean up your personl settings and stuff.

Also Recommended when flashing a custom rom.

Just go ahead :)
[HTC EVO 3D] tpbklake:
Suggestion: Don't use ROM Manager to try and flash a ROM. Boot straight into recovery mode (Volume Down and Power button) and do it from there. You will have more control over the process.
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
I can't believe nobody has been in here to tell you this yet:

If you used HTC's method, unfortunately you are sol as far as flashing any kind of ROM that tries to reload even a stock kernel as part of the process.

Their method was/is a total sham, as far as most custom rom users are concerned.

Sorry, but you're gonna just have to wait for a brand new exploit.

Once again,

Never, ever, ever accept an OTA.

Sent from my Evo³d
[HTC EVO 3D] Blade92:
so is there anyway i can unroot my phone? Do i have to if i should wait for a new exploit. Or downgrade my android software? and thanks for helping a noob.
[HTC EVO 3D] Blade92:
I tried getting back into clockwork recovery after i rooted but i couldnt get back in.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
No way to downgrade. Htc new stuff prohibits it. From all accounts, you have to wait for a new exploit.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
From what I've read in radom XDA posts, the HTC unlock method provides write access to only the recovery and system partitions of the device but deso not provide write access to the boot partition (where only the kernel is stored). Unfortunately, modifying only the system partition w/o access to the kernel/boot partition can be very limiting.

You should be able to boot into the bootloader by using the volume down + power, mentioned above. Once on the white bootloader screen, you should be able to select Recovery. This should load the clockworkmod recovery as you indicated in a previous post you loaded.

If it doesn't load the clockworkmod recovery but instead loads the stock recovery, the custom recovery wasn't flashed (loaded) properly. Will probably need to flash it again. ROM manager *should* properly flash the cwm custom recovery even on an HTC unlocked device, but this HTC method is very new and we're finding out more and more about its limitations.

Welcome to the Android world! Hope that helps!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offroadace:
So I've had root (stock Froyo) on my TB for a month or 2 now and really like being able to take off the bloatware and maintain consistent backups with TI and pull back a recovery with ROM Manager.

Over the past 2 weeks or so the damn OTA has been forcing its way into my phone, literally!!!

Every so often I would open my phone and it would be in process of DL a Firmware update. I'd pull the battery and restart and give me a server failure error and I was able to continue wihtout error.

All other times it would give indication that Verizon was trying to do something and I would reject it. It would disappear for a few days and reappear with the same 3 selections. I would always reject.

Then one day, as mentioned previously, I noticed my phone was in process of DLing a firmware update.

I thought I caught it in time, but then it kept happening.

I guess yesterday was the last straw VZW had with me rejecting their update and it was forced on. I was then stuck in a boot loop. It would start up and run some processes, get past the SD connection and then hang for a minute then return to a shutdown.

After this I decided to run the Deodexed 1.70 update and the Radio update.

Sat down last night and started messing with it.

Ran the Deodexed through HBOOT and nothing really happened. Did not process as I would expect or had seen when I set up ROOT originally.

So I then ran the radio through HBOOT and this one ran as expecxted asking me for the next step to run the install.

Seemed to work fine and the phone rebooted without a problem, that is until I saw my phone had 'No Service' on the lock screen and the little [x] next to the reception bars.

I tried running both files again through ROM Manager and received the same result.

What I noticed is the following;
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MONKY_1:
Yeah I switched my Tom's and I had no data connection. This is what I did.

Step 1. ##778

step 2. Password 000000 ( six 0's)

Step 3. Tap on edit mode

Step 4. Go to modem settings and scroll to Rev.A (I was on eHRPD so I switched to Enable or whatever the first option is. If your oh enable switch it to eHRPD I did this setting when I didn't have connection a looong time ago)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Sounds like you successfully flashed an MR2 radio but you are still on MR1 (1.13.605.7 indicated by your screencaps) thus no service.

Assuming your recovery still works, flash the 1.70.605.0 rom via recovery.

bloated: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160374

debloated: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161251

If your recovery doesn't work, reflash it then flash the rom.

As you see in the screencaps, you should see 1.70.605.0 under build and software.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The OP's issue is a common one. Rejecting updates is a sorry way to retain root.

First, the 1.13 RUU that was flashed after rooting via ADB was NOT intended to be retained as the long-term solution. Please take a look at this radio link. As you'll see, RUU 1.13 is OLD. I believe many are under the impression this is the firmware that was on their device pre-root, and it likely wasn't. Most started with RUU 1.66 or 1.68. By running that post-root RUU, you're running firmware that is significantly older and less efficient than just about anything out there. And it WILL continue to attempt an auto-update until you fix that situation.

If you like your stock ROM, flash the RUU 1.68 rooted ROM but keep your radios. An even better idea would be to flash the RUU 1.70 ROM and radios since they are the most stable and efficient Froyo releases out. Of course, flashing a real custom ROM would be the best solution, but I know some people like bone stock or have some irrational paranoia about custom ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenick:
Check the Access Point name

Someone else had a similar problem. He realized he had no Access Point Name assigned. (Menu/Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Name)

He wasn't able to reset it from the menu/reset option on the APN page, but was able to add a new APN with VZWINTERNET as the Internet name with the same settings as the non-working APN. Once he had the new APN enabled, he had data access.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Not this case since from the pics, the OP never actually flashed a rom that would work with his radio anyway as I mentioned above.
[HTC Desire S] stevennekens:
My desire s looks like this at the back. It all started out with a scratch (well, at a certain moment I just noticed that a small piece of the paint was missing, about 1mm x 1mm) and it ended up like this, al by itself :-). I got in touch with the support (in Holland) and they said that this was the first time that they saw this and that they had tried to do the same with an other phone and that they couldn't reproduce this. Is there anyone who notices a similar problem on their own desire s? Of course the phone is functioning as it should be, so that is not a problem, but I am afraid that it will end up without any paint at all. Any thoughts on this?
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
never heard that happens to someone..did you scratch on that place or something then start to losing paint or what?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I've only heard one other person mention this as a problem over the last five months.

Do you keep keys or coins in the same pocket as your phone?

Mine of course is missing paint from three out of the four front corners, but, that is because I've dropped while being under the influence ;)

You could try to scratch all the remaining paint off so that it looks like the grey/silver model :)

Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
lol yeah we can start with case modding too :D
[HTC Desire S] stevennekens:
I'm always keeping it in a pouch (golla) which completely protects it from everything. I just noticed that some paint was missing a first, just a very small spot, can't remember scratching it in any way. After that it just 'spreaded'
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
I assume it's enameled or something like that, so once the paint is pierced, it will peel. Same happens on cars. You could try sealing it with a dap of nail varnish and then painting it over I suppose.
[HTC Desire S] stevennekens:
That sounds logical to me, but the question remains the same: why is the paint of my phone peeling while the paint of all other phones that got scratched isn't? I can't be the ony one who got the paint damaged, can I? But still, no one seems to have this kind of problem.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
Maybe you can do this

The DHD and the DS are made from the same material, so if you like it...
[HTC Desire S] Nomader0:
same thing happened to my car one day.. it was more like 3cm X 3cm. And after thinking very hard to find why the paint looked like it was disolved.. i figured a dog had peed on the spot and i did not wash my car for like 15 days afterwards:)... i am not saying yours is pee :D but it is definitely chemical corrosion.. something was spilled on that spot
[HTC Desire S] Trialsin:
I think that DHD looks really cool, you should definitely do the same!
