I know the fix for the sudden battery drop after a reboot. I have flashed many roms and it has to me a lot. I have calibrated before but the issue is still there. It usually happens to my phone when I am 70% or below on battery life. It happens to me on EC05 a lot but I don't know about the gingerbread roms.

The fix is to power off your phone and remove the battery for 5 minutes, put the battery back in after 5 minutes and power on the phone and it should show you your accurate battery life
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
Rebooting with a charger plugged in also sets it back to the correct %
[Epic 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Got one random reboot yesterday. I haven't had a chance to play with the GPS yet, but if it doesn't work, my gf will tel me.
[Epic 4G General] smark72:
Anyone having problems with youtube? I can't get any videos to play on the app. It just keeps saying unable to connect to server. I am on eh17 hurricane with stock kernel. It was also doing same thing on the stock EH17 leak before I even rooted.
[Epic 4G General] kobby2k6:
lol thanks for that, wish I knew before
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Try clearing data or reinstall the app.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Out of curiosity has anyone tried leaving GPS on to see if it reboots? Mine reboots only in deep sleep on wifi. Thinking if something else was running maybe it would stop the reboots.
[Epic 4G General] Robalboa:
gb vs froyo

I feel the same way with my epic BUT my girls evo shift truly works flawlessly with gb it only has a 800 mhz processer and runs 1400 quadrant scores stock.

the only rom that has been perfect for me was srf 1.1.1 . all add ons and mods i get 2100 benchmarks with no overclocking
[Epic 4G General] Robalboa:
Right the Battery drop is from the battery overheating. the 5 min deal allows the temp to go back down to temp specs
[Epic 4G General] MajicManDroid:
The GPS is rather sucktastic in this build. Google skymap is unusable and it never got closer than 24 ft. lock for me in the middle of Phoenix.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I've noticed no bugs on my Nexus S. GB is actually designed to work on our HW. It's buggy because it's a leak.
[Epic 4G General] vicvega:
I wanted to try this version after reading through all the different forums and reports. I loaded it because Froyo was killing my battery in 6 hours with no use even with all the power saving tweaks. I got the most using 2X Battery saver

My report:

Def snappier!

So far I can report one reboot.

Battery life has tripled especially with 2X Battery Saver. See screenshots.

Battery gauge issue reporting 80 at full charge is gone

I like the way it also reports your battery usage graph

Im hoping the final build would be better but this ones a keeper for now.

Thanks for the leaked rom!!!
[Epic 4G General] blaide9x:
Was very smooth snappy, has issues with the wifi

it would turn on, and them immediately shut off.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
So do we really have a central list of all bugs, or is this just another EH17 chat thread?
[Epic 4G General] vicvega:
GPS was the only thing that was having issues. It would lock then lose connection in wide open areas. Tracking would lose lock. I fixed it with this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759976

I used the	gps_fix_epic_signed.zip to fix it. All GPS issues are now gone. this leak seems to be stable so far no other issues. Like I stated before my battery life has tripled.
[Epic 4G General] lorenza:
Many GPS's have free updates. I have an older (3yrs old) Garmin and I paid 14.00 for unlimited updates. I would rather use a true GPS in my car than a telephone for going places.

If you can't see your destination from 24 feet away, there may be other issues that need to be addressed. :0 Just pulling your chain don't get crazy on me.

Rebooting

Mine is rebooting very often and I don't know what to do with it. I have EH17 and I really like it, but maybe somebody can recommend something for fixing this rebooting issue?

God bless you!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah, the reboot issue is the major bug, not GPS. GPS has been poor on all the leaks. The amount of satellite locks is limited to 4 but once in awhile I will get 5 out of 11 possible satellites after a gpsclrx.
[Epic 4G General] zyklonbee:
Rebooting quite often (at least 1-2 times per hour) when at work, on wifi (PEAP-MSCHAPv2). Never reboots on my home wifi (WPA2 and an Airave sprint extender) or any other time.
[Epic 4G General] jmandawg:
4G speeds are really slow compared to EC05. Did a side by side test with my brothers epic, and it blew EH17 away. Also poor battery life and random reboots... Back to EC05.
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Random reboots, typical poor battery life mostly. I have cut way back on the amount of apps I installed and still have issues with battery, even now on my replacement Epic which I got last week. I may try a new battery for the hell of it, cant hurt to have an extra anyway..

Is there an app that will point to a specific app or process that is the major power hog? Or am I pretty much stuck with the basic info such as Android System/ Cell Standby/ Phone Idle etc?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Spare Parts on Froyo. Also check running services in your applications settings. I increased my memory and battery life by doing a Factory Data reset and only restoring apps...no data.

[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Anyone else getting crackling in headphones from the 3.5mm jack? Seems like this wasn't a problem with EC05 but the EH17 and previous leak both have had this problem it seems. I thought it was my headphones (I previous had iPod headphones but one set got stolen and the other the earpiece came off, then bought $9 one from Walmart.. learned my lesson. Bought some $30 Sony earbuds and having the same crackling issues).
[Epic 4G General] scooterman:
i am no longer getting GPS drop outs / freezing on EH17. just tracked an hour bike ride and it worked and was extremely accurate.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popeye3c:
I flashed The "Helix boot up" through CWM3 .. every time I start my phone up it freezes at the middle of it then shuts off..Why doesn't it go all the way? maybe because i flashed it through CWM instead of Root Explorer?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I just flashed the original one, red one, and green one not 30 minutes ago. All of them worked for me. I have had it stick at the Android man with circle below him before but a reboot always fixed it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Popeye3c:
oh man, Im sorry! I meant "Boot down" not "boot up" i Apologize for that....i have no problem on the boot up...is the Power Off that gets stuck on me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Aah, that one freezes a lot on me too. I have not been using it up until lately. I just pushed the one from RandomKing's new Froyo ROM that is a combo of the original followed by red. It works better so far...EDIT...that shutdown ani I mentioned works much better. Let me try to post a link for you in a bit.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] snce1980:
are you rooted. if so there is an apk floating around and a patch as well. they should work on the newest build. I'm on revolver 2.5 and it works fine
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jhanford:
Firstly, you do not need to be rooted anymore as the latest kernel update OTA has Netflix compatability built-in.

Secondly, there have been many previous threads dealing with this. If you scroll down just 5 or 6 posts down, you will see a thread whose first post contains a link to the Netflix app.

Usually I'm one of those people who sides with the noobs who have trouble finding stuff with the forum search, but this time you really didn't even have to search!

Please do some of the legwork yourself first.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
Well put jhanford, just search for Netflix 1.3 apk

I know, there are the O.S, and the Kernel, but i dont know if there are more things to care..

Anyone know what is neccessary to make or port an android 2.3 rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Anybody do a factory reset after the last update and notice any improvements? My browser is a touch laggy, as is my UI, and I was thinking of doing the reset just for kicks. However, it's a pain to reinstall, and I'm not rooted (and don't want to mess with it), so I'll lose my game progress.

Suggestions? Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:
i did a factory reset and lost all personal data but kept the updates. you question is a bit vague, do you mind elaboraing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Sorry. I mean, simply: is it worth doing the reset? Did it make a marked improvement in performance? I only want to go through the hassle if it's worth doing...

I've found that sometimes it is worth it following some updates, sometimes it's not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinH:
I did a factory reset after some time with the update, and found absolutely no difference compairing it to before.

So, if you are planing on doing a reset expecting improved performance, don't waste your time.

[HTC EVO 3D] panamakid:
so should I take this bad boy back? on 3 Roms both software 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

let me know thanks!

wifi off it runs fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Short answer: Yea, I've never had any random reboots with WiFi on and it seems your issue is pretty persistent.

In my opinion, the real test would be on the stock ROM. If the random reboots continue on a stock ROM, then I would lean towards some type of hardware issue and return/exchange the device.

Device definitely should not be randomly rebooting in WiFi mode.

Technical Advanced and longer idea: From a technical point of view, the device randomly rebooting is a bit more difficult to troubleshoot as logcat gets wiped when the device reboots. You'd have to pull the /proc/last_kmsg file to hope the kernel is dumping some helpful information before it reboots. It sounds like some type of kernel panic, but that is only from my experience on properly functioning hardware and modifying kernels.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] panamakid:
Thanks! I went back to stock S-ON and it stopped, went back to root S-OFF and no more reboots, very weird.

I do have one question..my battery never charges to 100% and if I use it when the LED is green, and plugged in to the wall, it discharges..i've seen it go down to 95% is this normal? I have also used battery indication to check the battery status and usually it discharges from 96-95% never seen a 100% there.

Do you think that's a problem? (the phone itself lasts me all day off the charger) just that it doesnt charge to 100%..ever..even over night, though the LED does change to green.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Honsta:
I am having a problem with Serendipity on my Infuse where I cannot install some apps on the Market due to it being "incompatible with your device". Either that, or sometimes the install button is missing altogether.

Such apps include Facebook, Minimalist text, Friendcaster Pro, and the list goes on. I read somewhere that it had to do with Market incorrectly identifying your Android version (2.3) and disabling the install for apps that only run on gingerbread/froyo. Anyone else have this issue, or any advice? Thanks! :D

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
I'm very new to all this, and my phone won't come in until later this week, but I was hoping to get a few questions out of the way early!

I'm going to England and Germany later this year, and will want to unlock the SIM to use local carriers. Since the phone will not be activated with Verizon (will use PagePlus), I'll have to buy a code.

Should I root first, and then unlock the sim, or vice versa? Does it matter?

Do I understand correctly that the unlock will be permanent, no matter what ROM I flash?

What ROM would be a good first try for a noob with very little android/smartphone experience?

Thanks in advance for any input!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
Doesn't matter which order as far as I know. I used the clip and confirm sim works great in Europe.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oren09:
Probably a dumb and frequently asked question, but can the GSM radio be used to work with American networks?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw411:
Anyone having any issues with OTG on the Bell Canada Galaxy S II (i9100m) ??

When I plug in the cable, I've now tried two of them, nothing happens.

I know 2.3.4 has full support, but the 2.3.3 on the GS2 is supposed to be able to do it.

Since a copy of our factory ROM still hasn't come out, I've been holding off going too crazy on it, so I'm stock except for being rooted and unlocked

Using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks2hot4u:
I picked up the nokia cable off ebay for 4$ the cable is made for nokia and had a different usb micro end with a quick google and after shaving the sides down to fit it works perfect and its as fast as reading off internal using a 8gb sancruz and a crappy 1gb no name. although I couldnt get it to read if I already had the cable in and then the usb stick I had to have the stick plugged into the cable then into the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw411:
I've tried two different cables from eBay, not a Nokia one however, but I'm skeptical that these aren't OTG cables, i'm pretty sure they are

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
I believe my Dinc 2 is actually bricked. I get no response at all. It wont power up normally or in to recovery nor will it charge. I have searched for anything that sounds like my problem but no success. It is rooted (s-off) running stock froyo. I believe the Verizon push of gingerbread put it in a boot loop. So i deleted the data and tried to restore back to an earlier backup. I got around 5 error messages and the screen went black and now nothing. If there isn't anyway to recover can i get some advice on getting Verizon to exchange for a new one.

Thanks

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Dumb question maybe, but your battery is charged right?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] iceman99393:
With phone off, holding down volume down and holding the power button until your phone goes into the bootloader. If your just holding down volume down and tapping power it wont work, power button needs to be held down. Try that. If that works boot into recovery and try to restore a backup. If you dont have a backup and you were able to get into bootloader, then download a pc32img. or whatever there called for the inc2, place it on your sd card. You can do that by removing your sd card, putting it in a micro sd adapter then placing file on main part of sd card. Then place sd card back in phone, and boot back into bootloader if above method worked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
battery is charged. and yes boot loader doesn't work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kujayhawks77:
Are you able to get the device to power on at all? If you so might be able to RUU it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
i can't get it to do anything i have held vol down and power for at least a min with nothing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riverstudd:
wow man that sucks if youve tried everything that others have posted and no luck, you are the first dinc2 brick in know. dumb question i kinda had the same ish problem with my friends dinc2, but not exactly. have you taken out the battery? it probably wont do anything for you but its worth a shot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Pull the battery and pull the SIM card. Put the battery back in and then push volume down and AFTER YOU PUSH VOLUME DOWN hit power. Hold both for about 10 seconds it should kick you into the bootloader. When it does hit factory reset.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
yes i have done the battery pulls, short ones and i saw a forum for another phone that said pull it for 2 hours so i did that as well. never tried the sim card but unfortunately it made no difference. I think I really am the first poor bastard to really brick the Inc 2...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I believe this justifies a warranty claim. They won't know if you rooted it. They will flash it when it arrives. Just keep your memory card. It holds all your secrets.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Agreed. Just play dumb to Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Just to make it clear, it does not power on at all? No lights or the screen turn on or anything?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
correct it does nothing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
I guess going to Verizon will be your only option now. And as others have mentioned, just play dumb. I have personally bricked my very old LG flip dumb phone and even my old GPS device, both because I accessed the root of their software and accidently messed with some important file.

In both cases I just played dumb and acted completely clueless. Basically say "I have no idea what happened" and mention no technical details. Do not say anything that an average person wouldn't say.

Just say, "I do not know what happened", "it just stopped working!". Do not say anything about operating systems, root, etc.

And in both cases they were somewhat serious bricks. The phone's operating system got wiped, yes on a dumb phone, lol. With the GPS unit I simply accessed its operating system, a version of Windows CE and made some silly errors on important files, so that bricked the device.

So if someone like me, who manages to brick stuff like a GPS and a dumb phone, is fine in terms of getting a replacement, your case should be fine...lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
Or instead of making up some stupid elaborate story, he could simply go with what actually happened. But leave out the root part. He installed the ota, and it was causing a boot loop. So he went to try a factory reset, it errored and then the phone wouldn't turn on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
That's not how paranoia works!!! :eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] iceman99393:
Have you tried another battery? Or charging your current battery VIA an external charger. I read a post like this not to long back and come to find out battery was just fried.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
I haven't tried another battery, and I don't have another way to charge it. But I know it was fully charged when it went in to the boot loop.

thanks everyone for your thoughts and help. It is off to Verizon for me.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edoubledizzle:
yes fraud is the answer! i cant imagine how many thousands of times this has happened. drive everybodies cost up because you did something you knew there was a risk in doing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
Minus the rooting part, it was a vzw ota that threw his phone into a bootloop.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Fraud would be he dropped his phone in water. Then bought new water marks and void marks. Put them on his phone. Then called in a warranty. If Verizon did find it to be fraudulent it would not raise your cost. They would charge him 300 for his phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Meh, I don't really see how broken software is an act of fraud. If they wanted to avoid such issues, they could just release an application that restores the software for the device to the factory setting, like the ruu's for the android devices.

If they did so, then I wouldn't have been making up stories to have my stuff fixed. When my computer stops working because of a Windows error, I don't have to call Microsoft or Dell for warranty or repairs, I just reinstall Windows and all is back to normal. I can **** up the bios, and easily flash it over again and have it back to working order. There, I didn't have to bother anyone about it and I can go about my day.

If I physically broke the device, then I would understand that I am screwed and wouldn't bother making up stories since that stuff actually requires physical labor to repair. Software issues, all you need to do is plug the device to a computer and have a specific application to do the rest of the work.

But it was the fact that it was rooted that the VZW OTA most likely installed incorrectly. This is nothing new, there were cases a while back with the iPhone where if it was jailbroken the updates would practically brick the phones. And actually, this is common for most software that has been tempered with. Update a cracked game and it removes the crack, updated a pirated copy of Windows with some specific update and the OS becomes invalid, etc.

So technically you can't really go with the "But VZW OTA broke it!" excuse, because most likely the update was not meant to work with a device that was rooted. Of course, unless there is no evidence of the s-off/rooting and stuff like that is present, so yeah...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Weselers:
This happened on my old captivate, I got the same issue after getting into a bootloop after flashing a new rom w/o wiping data before flash (I know im stupid this was my 4th flash attempt EVER so dont go hating :p) But basically what happened is that the internal memory got destroyed basically. The tech I talked to from Samsung said it could happen by running the phone at 106 degrees farenheight for more than 20 minutes, but basically it wiped EVERYTHING from the internal memory, take your sd card out and send it to verizon they cant prove anything without the sdcard.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
