[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If I may recommend something - stay away from the 3-button fix. There have been an inordinate amount of hard bricks as a result of the misuse of that particular fix. It was good for what it did when it came out, but there is a better/safer option now available that doesn't only flash half of the bootloader equation.

If you can get to download mode, flash stock Gingerbread with the Gingerbread bootloaders. It will take care of any 3-button issues, and you won't have to touch that particular fix. Once you're on those bootloaders, you can flash most of the roms on this site without any issues.

Just my two cents, though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
try the old combo...trun ur phone..take out the battery...put it back..hold both volume keys and insert the usb cable to the phone which is already connected to the coputer's usb port...

that shd get u into the download mode..if that doesnt work out..then buy a jig..or make one...and once u get into download mode and u r able to flash...then install gb bootloaders..bcoz that u will need for any newest gb custom roms..

and once u r on gb bootloaders...either i897 or i9000...u will be fine again..

PS..stay away from 3 button fix...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydirt:
*** I have spent an hour searching through posts looking for this issue. Unless my search-fu is way off today, I can not find this issue.

Problem Cause

Improper shutdown

Was in a game of Battleheart, battery was dying, I plugged it in;not realizing that the power bar I plugged into was not on, tablet power off mid play a few moments later.

So I plug it in for a few mins, then turn it back on to nothing but a bunch of force closes rendering the tablet nearly inoperable.

Problem:

Constant force closes.

-com.google.process.gapps

-com.google.android.patrsnership

-com.google.android.gm

-com.google.android.vending

-com.google.android.calander

com.google.android.gmail

-com.google.providers.calander

etc

Force close Issues

-No Wifi,

-Cannot modify home screens in any way. If I try to remove a widget, the launcher goes into a constant force close loop com.android.launcher, effectivly disabling the tablet.

-Settings will not "take"

I have read that solving the typical force closes that I am seeing is disableing the syncing via google and also clearing data/cache from gmaps, calander, bookmarks etc. However, while I can access settings and choose the options to remove this data, nothing actually happens. I deselect the sycing options under settings, but after reboot they are re selected.

-Cannot install any applications. Another solution mentioned was to install a new launcher, like ADW, or LP. Trying to install an apk immediately sends the device to the ausus boot logo and it will boot loop 5 times (loading circle dots rotate, then disappear while still at the asus logo) before finally loading to the home screen and its many force closes.

Solution?

I have not found one yet that is satisfactory. I was hoping toi pick the brains among some of you here, who may have more knowledge insight in solving this issue,

-Factory Reset? While this is always an option, it stinks. Like really. I'm about 15/16gb used on my internal mem. I have tons of apps, music, books, pics, progress in games etc that really sucks to lose.

-Hard Reset? See above

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear em! Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
have you tried a cold linux boot? hold the power and volume down for 10 seconds. You will then have the option to wipe the tablet. wait a few seconds, and another option becomes available(a not wipe symbol). This cold boots the os
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimpanzee:
Try clearing your dalvik cache.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iam.dunsmore:
+1 on wipe caches

had this problem, just wiped 'em and tada
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydirt:
Thanks for the quick replies.

Sorry I should have mentioned, I am running stock. No root, no custom recovery.

Is wiping the dalvik cache still an option?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chatch15117:
aaaand people ask why we use CWM. This is why.

idk unless nvflash can fix it you have to lose all your crap in a factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
Still laughing... I called Samsung US to find out how to remove the extra tablet I have listed into my SamsungDive account:

Originally I purchased the 16GB model and exchange it with the 32GB one.

After doing the transfer dance for at least 5 times to get the right department... I finally ended into Galaxy Tab technical support. When I repeated myself for the 5th time... the rep told me: "Samsung Dive, what is that?" So I explained to him... and asked how to remove my tablet. He had no idea and he told me that he cannot remove that tablet id for me.

Does anyone has any experience with this situation? Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebk71:
Have you read the faq on samsung dive? If I undestand correct you have to wipe your account from your (previous) tab. If you still can see your old tab, you can test the wipe function :-). I would use that for sure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
Thanks for the info, I did a factory reset before I exchanged the tablet. But which one to wipe? I don't want to lose all my customizations. I really want to have that extra tablet removed... I proposed to the tech guy to send me a 16Gb tablet if they cannot remove it. We were both laughing... :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ebk71:
You can let it ring, from that option maybe you can choose which one. When you know which one rings and which doesn't helps you in choosing the one to wipe?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
Will it ring on a Wifi device? I tried and nothing happens...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jay Evans:
Yes it works on WiFi models.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
I tried on both devices. On one tablet I get this message:

If "Remote Controls" is deactivatied or you didn't allow "Google's Location Service", the use of this feature is restricted.

Where can I enable the Remote Controls feature? Google Location is enabled.

On the other tablet, nothing happens... it sits there spinning and it does not connect. So I presume that is the returned tablet. When I try to wipe it, nothing happens since it cannot connect to device. How wonderful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jay Evans:
Settings> Location And Security> Find my mobile> Remote Controls

If you didn't turn it on in the returned unit you won't be able to contact it... ever
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
I don't have that option on my Wifi tablet. Thanks for your help, though.

I guess I will have forever 2 tablets listed... :)

The thing is: it does not work with Google Location enabled... so I cannot ring my current tablet either.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jay Evans:
With out Remore Controls enabled it can't be contacted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elliottg61:
Hi guys, just looked on the HTC Dev website and the Desire kernel source code has been released!

http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Hope this solves some of the Gingerbread problems!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
ABOUT TIME :L. Hope the devs will be able to put this to good use :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
there is no desire kernel source code. i don't know where you see it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
HTC Bravo GB MR 2.6.35 Kernel Source code. This is the desire...isn't it? :( If it isn't
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elliottg61:
Yes, bravo is the desire
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elliottg61:
The desire is also named bravo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
it may be good idea to post this news in sense rom threads.:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Egrier:
Some devs use the Desire HD too don't they? This one has been there for quite a while.

HTC Desire HD - GB MR - 2.6.35 kernel source code.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
OK. Just wondered because froyo kernel source code was called desire and not bravo.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elliottg61:
No I believe the desire is closest to the HD2s hardware specs so the devs have been waiting for the desire source code

Wow....I thought the board would go insane for this...:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
I did - I actually had a chrome app that checks htcdev site for updates! Here is to hope all glitches and issues, and maybe the libaudio woes too, become history :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Only 11 replies so far? I thought this thread would get a lot more attention
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tak3r07:
Im also very happy about this release (in case its what the devs really need), but i think many people are right-minded enough not to spam the whole hd2 section with their emotions :-) but as you complained about this, i do now.

Im really excited how smooth sense gb and sense 3 will become :D:-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
I think that everyone is very excited - it's something we've waited for a long time. But who needs threads made of thousands of posts like "OMG Finally!!" and such? Those post serve nothing, there is no point in writing them. It only shows, that we have very well behaving community here. Let's just wait and for the magicians (or "devs" as we call them ;)) to take it and make bugs gone :).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Elmo108:
There is another thread in the dev-section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
I would go insane with joy but I am a linux failure so other than making me anxious for one of the geniuses here to go to town on our kernel I am still in the same position I have been, on the edge of my seat waiting :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yeah, if the OP had posted in the Dev section, he would have received loads of thanks as well as more attention, but to be fair it is pretty risky posting in the dev section. You never know whether you'll get flamed or thanked.

Also, that thread is newer than this one, therefore it isn't as if this is a duplicate thread, but more so that that is a duplicate of this (if that's what you're trying to suggest).
[TouchPad General] anh_oii:
I've tried this at my University, but it doesn't work for my exact situation. Hopefully it will work for others too. Kudos for figuring it out! As for me, apparently WPA2 Enterprise PEAP MSCHAPV2 is a no go until the WebOS team will update/fix it....
[TouchPad General] TooSlo:
I managed to get connected to my MS corp wireless, but will actually see if I have network connectivity a bit later (and update this thread).
[TouchPad General] eltee:
its given me full connectivity here (I'm writing this on my touchpad on the enterprise WiFi right now). Its also worked for several other people here lucky enough to score one as well.

the biggest sticking point was getting the right certificate in the right (touchpad working ) format. Once I managed to get that file simply sending it around helped everyone else here get going in a couple minutes vs a couple hours it took when I was trying to sort it all out.
[TouchPad General] jptesar:
We use 802.1x at work without server certs. Just peap and mschap v2. I haven't had any luck connecting though. Anyone else been able to?
[TouchPad General] knightnz:
Looks like PEAP support is a major sticking point.

There's a tutorial here: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Advanced_Wifi

(I changed some of the script as per the thread I got the link from here: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/288229-wifi-enterprise-802-1x.html)

I tracked down the ARM wpa_supplicant package here: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/armel/wpasupplicant/download

And the libreadline.so.6 package here:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/armel/libreadline6/download

.DEB packages just have .TAR files inside them so I extracted what I needed using 7Zip and used WebOSQuickInstall to copy the files to the TP.

Even after following the other directions though, I consistantly get an error saying:

Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

Not having much luck...
[TouchPad General] eltee:
what's odd is our network looks like it does have peap set but with this certificate its working on the touchpad just fine.

it uses our exchange login info with a slightly off domain but even that has not thrown it.

The exact network configuration visible in the windows properties for the wireless link here is as follows:

Security: WPA2-Enterprise

Encryption: AES

Network Authentication: PEAP

Validate Server Certificate

Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAPv2) (Automatically use windows login/pass/domain)

Fast Reconnect
[TouchPad General] np032191:
I haven't had luck with anything so far.

Is anyone willing to make a patch to fix the MSCHAPv2 problems? I'm willing to donate to your cause if I can my TouchPad to connect to my school's wireless, as it's essentially useless right now.
[TouchPad General] knightnz:
The network here uses WPA-Enterprise (not WPA2), and PEAP with password authentication only (no cert needed - as far as I'm aware it doesn't issue one to the phone).

I managed to get the TP to say "no network with that name and security method" found when I had the protocol set to IEEE801X, it doesn't do it when I set it to WPA-EAP though.

Essentially, using (what I believe to be) the exact same settings that work with my SGS2, doesn't work with the TouchPad.
[TouchPad General] eltee:
It looks like at best the enterprise stuff is kinda half baked. If you need a certificate, webos is capable of *using* one, but not generating it. If its non certificate based, it seems to just fail out entirely.

Have you guys who are having the failures had luck with other devices like laptops etc? if so, what are the settings used to establish that successful connection? It seems like the touchpads are *capable* of mantaining peap/mschapv2 connections, as that is the setup my office uses, but for some reason without the certificate requirement it just is glitching out and won't establish the connection in the first place
[TouchPad General] np032191:
My Windows7 laptop and my WP7 Samsung Focus both securely connect to the network fine. My TouchPad is the first device I've ever heard of having issues connecting.

Hell, my roommate even has his PS3 and XBOX connected.
[TouchPad General] Hornet-Wing:
Thanks OP! Method works on Swansea University Eduroam.
[TouchPad General] np032191:
bump now that we have a 3.03/04 update

anyone know if it worked?
[TouchPad General] robot1000:
Installed the WiFi Certificate but still no luck.

Any other workarounds out there?
[TouchPad General] robot1000:
Just updated (manually) to the leaked 3.0.3 version and it's resolved the Enterprise Wifi connection issue.
[TouchPad General] anh_oii:
Confirmed, my WiFi works. Enterprise mschapv2 PEAP without certificate. 3.0.3. Now I can leave my laptop at home and use splashtop if I need anything.. *rock on*
[TouchPad General] chava007:
I can also confirm that the certificate issue has been solved in 3.03, but now I can't set a proxy, has anyone been able to?
[TouchPad General] professordes:
PEAP/MSCHAPv2 fixed with "official" 3.04 OTA too

PEAP/MSCHAPv2 authentication has stayed fixed with the official 3.04 OTA update.

I've just checked that I can connect to an eduroam connection configured this way at a UK university, which the TouchPad couldn't do before.
[TouchPad General] jago94:
awesome news, I will be testing mine out today when I get to school. :cool:

update: I was able to connect at my school, but I had to uncheck the cert box to get it to work.
[TouchPad General] eltee:
Yup, i removed my custom certificate on 3.04 and re-joined the access point. It had some new options about authentication built in and sure enough just worked, no issues.

Looks like the little crazy work-around won't be needed anymore
[TouchPad General] basic2122:
My connection at school was working before the update (after installing the certs), and now no matter what I do I can't get it working. I have added certs, deleted them, manually set it up, auto set-up. It's a WPA2 PEAP TKIP network with MSCHAPV2 and Thawte Premium CA cert. Anyone have any idea? Should I doctor it again and start from scratch?
[TouchPad General] turbodanar:
The network here uses WPA-Enterprise (not WPA2), and PEAP with password authentication. Even though We use certificate, I chose not to validate the certificate and was able to connect fine.

Running TP WebOS 3.0.4

My work uses WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP-MSCHAPv2. I have a Touchpad running 3.0.4.77, but still cannot get it to successfully connect to my work's wireless.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Have to charge almost twice a day... I believe it happened after latest 1.45.531.1 update....

Disabled all animation, got auto adjust for display, disabled all what I could.. Still gives me 12 -16 hours on standby only....NOT even using the phone!!!!

Does anyone have something like that??? Or there is some remedy I skipped?

Sorry if I repeat someone's question.

Running full stock, HTC battery.

Thanks in advance!!

Tester.

PS. Recently exchanged the phone.... First one R.I.P......died completely, didn't even charge.

Is there a chance they swapped a refurbished one on me??? How to find out???
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
can you provide a screenshot of the battery usage graph? also, have you tried getting an aftermarket, bigger battery such as the anker?
[HTC Sensation] cheezitman2001:
I was the same way as you. I checked my battery graph, and standby was using something like 80% of the battery with almost everything turned off. By the time I got home from work I would need to charge it immediately. I bought one of the Anker batteries on Amazon for $15 bucks or so, and I'm now getting about 2 days for a charge. I don't know what it was with my battery, because it sounds like my experience wasn't typical, but I didn't really feel like going through HTC when I could just pay the $15.
[HTC Sensation] iamdeemo:
I'm with ya...

This phone was running PERFECT prior to the HTC update. Now I'm having a plethora amount of problems, including the battery. For example, prior to the update I would get 13-16 hours on HEAVY usage... Moderate usage? Try a day or day in a half. Now take today for example, I unplugged my phone a little before 7am and I had 20 something percent 4 hours later.

I'm telling you, that HTC update really messed this phone up IMO.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Thanks, guys!!

Will try to get Anker battery, I believe it's 1900 mAh.

But again something running on the background with that update. We'll see.

I'll try to get the graph, maybe someone'll get some sense of it...

Much appreciated,

Tester.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
here are the battery stats...

Display..........74%

Cell standby...13%

Phone idle......11%

Voice calls......2%

THAT'S IT!!! Nothing else is running...... SUX...

Still gives 12 - 16 hours of life on almost idle......
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I hate to say it,but if you're battery's dying a lot faster after an update,a bigger battery won't help much.

I'd be getting in touch with HTC and ask them what the heck is going on.
[HTC Sensation] ali_plus:
Really annoyed with the battery performance. I checked and only display is using 90% of battery. Tried everything to reduce it but no change.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e.
[HTC Sensation] mic180:
I've had the same issue since the update. My battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I've become really frustrated with the phone since. I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM in hopes of solving the problem but it's the same deal.

I've confirmed it's not the battery either since I've got another one I've tried and only get the same results. Even with Juice Defender running I get nowhere as great a battery life as I did before the update :(
[HTC Sensation] epicroot:
I'm doing decent 8hrs 20,mins on batt. With 40% left mostly text and internet browsing
[HTC Sensation] anurbanlegend:
Try clicking the graph at the top of the screen it will give you another screen that shows awake/screen time etc. Is your phone going to sleep when you screen turns off?

I was having the same problem and realized that some app was keeping my phone awake even though the screen was off. I uninstalled 80% of the crap I had installed and now my phone sleeps like it should and battery lasts amazingly long time.
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
How can you tell if your phone is going to sleep when you lock the screen? What is a good method for this? And if I find it its not sleeping when it should, is there a way to find the culprit easily?
[HTC Sensation] mbatson:
Click on the graph in battery stats, it should show awake time and screen on. If your awake time is constant when the screen on time isn't, then chances are you've got an bad app somewhere preventing the phone from sleeping
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
my battery life was plain **** on 2.3.3., device was running hot all the time (=waste of energy), charging took ridiculous 4h+! When I took it off at the charger around 23:00 the battery was dead at 14:00 the next day with most time being idle!

Since my update to 2.3.4 things got so much better. charging takes around 2h and battery finally lasted a whole day and had 40% juice left in the evening.

Since I got my 2 Ankers+charger for 20$, battery life is crazy now. Been on one charge for 2d2h and still had 16% left. Pushmail on, wifi on (cellular data only when not at home), brigthness at 100%, taking video, pictues and some navigation, messaging and phonecalls. Oh yeah and a few minutes of flashlight use :D

I would say between slight and medium use.

If 2.3.4 worsened your batterylife, contact HTC or your vendor.

I now replaced the battery at 16% with the other Anker because I still need to do my 5 charge cycles on that one to calibrate it.
[HTC Sensation] anurbanlegend:
Here's an example of the graph. At the bottom you can see awake and screen on time. I pulled phone of charger last night, did some browsing, then ran for an hour with music playing in the background (you can see the small green bar on awake even when screen is off). After I surfed a little and left it off the charger when I went to bed. The phone is properly sleeping when the screen is off and almost 16 hours and still have 62%.

Before I uninstalled the apps, the awake time was solid green across the screen.
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
Anker battery worked wonders on my device. Before I would have to throw it on the charger after lunch as I like to go for a beer after work and the stock battery would never make it that far... Now when I get home from the bar I still have ~30% battery. Anker battery FTW!
[HTC Sensation] Nonsensical86:
flash a custom rom and u will go gaga over ur battery life. definitely works for me. on standby overnight drain 0-1%.:)
[HTC Sensation] nokianich:
I found out that if you don't have strong signal at your location your battery drains pretty fast that's why I always connect my phone to WiFi at my apartment where my phone looses signal sometimes. now I lose just 1-2% of power during a night.
