[About XDA developers] june04:
i am using synergy rom on my htc evo4g and just looking for more options as far as colors OR idk..basicly somehow to just have my time,battery,wifi..etc. in a color of my choice! I am also using launcher pro..because i HATE...absolutely hate SENSE. Please help? :(
[About XDA developers] kabecilhas:
I dont have HTC, but i think the SENSE is awesome!

Why you use custom roms in HTC?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
About a dozen times recently I've removed my Desire Z from my pocket and discovered it is turned off and extremely HOT, not burning hot but much much hotter than any phone ever should be. The whole phone and battery is hot. I have to remove and reinsert the battery to restart the phone and the battery level is much depleted over what is normal. I don't think the phone is going to start a fire in my pocket but I rely on this thing to be functioning when it's supposed to, not heating my, umm, privates.

Anyone else experience this? Fortunately it's still under warranty (if I can find the receipt...).
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
What ROM? Kernel? etc?

Need info to help, if you're stock, then its defective and you should return it of course.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kennington:
Has this been happening more than once? And like the guy above me said, are you over clocked? If so, have it so it unclocks when the screen is off. But if your not over clocked, maybe try getting a new battery?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
The phone is completely stock other than being unlocked so I can use it under Telus. My battery is a Mugen Power 1800 mAh though I am believe that the very first time this happened it had the original battery in it.

It always happens while I'm carrying it in my pocket,that is to say it doesn't happen all the time but when it does it has been in my pocket - that's where I always carry it. Sometimes I feel the heat enough to notice it, but usually I'm checking my phone wondering why I didn't receive an expected call. And then when it restarts from a battery pull I realize I have practically no battery left.

I have an inquiry into HTC about it. I assume I am going to have to find my receipt before they'll be willing to warranty it right? Being without my phone for any length of time is going to be a big problem in itself though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bharakrama:
How long do you keep it in your pocket. I know my phone starts getting warm when I've had it in my pocket for an hour or so. Hence the reason I always keep it on my desk and only have it in my pocket if I'm off somewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Since you aren't overclocking it, I can say I'm 99% sure it's a bad battery or liquid damage. Do any of the batteries have humps or are they completely flat? Has the phone been exposed to any liquid at all?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
If your rooted use setcpu to keep an eye on temps. Otherwise I've used gauge battery widget to keep an eye on temps as well. Actually I use both currently and when my phones running warm the temps reflect that. Wouldn't hurt to try, besides at least then you'll have an actual temp number to warn you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
No, the phone has never been rooted nor exposed to moisture. I might keep in my pocket all day - usually it's fine, the odd time it's shut off and darn near burning hot. Perhaps it is the Mugen battery causing this although it appears physically fine and normally powers my phone for 1.5 days without heating up.

In any event I discovered that I apparently have no warranty! HTC says they don't do any repairs (?) and it is up to my provider to fix it. Well that ain't gonna work for me as I bought the phone from a Bell dealer and unlocked it to use on the Telus network. The dealer told me directly that once it was unlocked, all warranty is through the manufacturer. Neat system eh?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
He's stated hes not rooted. And a temp widget won't help him since its overheating in his pocket.

OP this is clearly a hardware issue unless for some reason you have some seriously rogue app that's blowing up your system.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Or a defective battery is also possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
oh well yes, by hardware I mean device+battery, aka not software.
[G2 and Desire Z General] niko5:
I have the same problem with mine but I am rooted and running a diff rom i did it almost the same day I got the phone so I not sure if it did it before. Im running cryogen 7.0.2. I run about 1 ghz but have underclocked it to 600 and had still had the same overheat deal for me. Also have had it do it while on a table out of my pocket...

No bumps on the batt and no water...

Also my touchscreen doesn't work well at all...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dumraden:
I have also had similar problems with a mugen battery. From now on if i dont use a paper between the door cover and the battery, if i fully close the battery cover the phone will shut down. Mugen batteries are as crap as they get. Stick with the stock battery, im getting 2.5 days of use with RMK's G-lite rom.

P.S. IMO the Mugen battery has about the same "real" mah rating as the stock one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilbeppez:
You should change the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
I agree try a new battery, stock if you want. And I use the chichitech 1900 mah and it might get a little warm but not burning hot lol and that's with a case...so maybe the battery door is actually warmer. Hmm...anyways yea new battery or phone whichever is cheaper or more convenient.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timw300:
I have a problem with roaming.

I am on MTS who has joined with Rogers network.

On stock ROM: 2-6-35-7-i9100xwkf3-cl276555 rootdell101 #2

I go to the US

Phone works on roaming

Can receive SMS

Cannot send SMS - Send fails

I have since rooted and installed Alienware 2-6-35-11 ninphetamine 2.1.3 xxkh3

I go to the US

Phone has 4/5 bars and can't get on network to roam

can't send/receive SMS

when dialing get the Mobile network unavailable message

My wife's samsung galaxy S i897 works fine -

Swapping SIMs with her yields the same failures on my S2 with her SIM.

In both cases, crossing the border home fixes the problem and life is grand.

I have tried:

1.enabling data roaming

2.rebooting

3.battery pull

4.swapping sims

Is anyone else having similar roaming issues - is there a ROM that actually works while roaming from Canada while in the US?

I have seen problems on my old Galaxy S and my wife's similar to this as when trying different ROMS, but have never gone across the border with any of these ROMS installed.

What I've seen with different ROMS is:

1. sometimes cannot get phone to get on network unless I setup the APN settings first

2. sometimes cannot get phone or data to work without enabling roaming mode. The phone actually says it's roaming even when it's on the home network

Is there anything I'm missing in the forums on this issue?

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrael:
hmm, maybe you've tried, but have you checked if the APN list is accurate ?

i believe there is an app to set the APN on the market ( can't remember the name though, never had the need for it.)

or try to google if you can find the APN setting of your network provider.

Seem like an APN problem to me as you explain it.

on the phone, you can access that with :

Settings >> Mobile networks >> Access Point Names and then the details of each APN can be checked/edited.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scott7044:
Is it necessary to keep all nandroid backups or do I only need to keep the one I made after rooting and the most current one? I have about 10 backups and would like to delete some if it's not a bad idea. Thank You for your responses.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Myself I keep my stock-rooted, my latest CM 7 build and latest Miui Build. When I do a new backup of (insert which ever rom name here) I will delete the old version. I also keep a copy of my stock-rooted rom on my notebooks hardrive for just in case times ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] T.M.M.L:
I agree with pacer,

I have my original stock backup, and the latest backup of whatever Roms I happen to be using. Its also probably wise to have your original rom saved to a off phone place...P.C, Thumb drive or such.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
I usually err on the side of keeping unneeded data rather than deleting needed data. PC storage space is so cheap now anyway, that I pretty much keep all my backups in a folder on my computer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
I keep stock and the latest one or two on the card and then erase the rest. I do save one to the PC every now and then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I keep newts sense 3d, miui aosp, and the ever so stable skyraider. In general you only need to have one stable backup in case sh*t happens.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scott7044:
Thanks for the replies. I kept my stock back up and my most recent back up which is of TSMPoolparty on the SD card. The others I put on my computer for future use if needed. I currently am running CM7 and can't wait for kernel.org to get back up so he nightlies can start rolling out again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prenedo:
Having never had to use a nandroid backup, what does it restore? Will it just restore the phone from whatever Rom/Kernel combo you backup, just like if you did a full data wipe/reset?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
It puts your phone back to exactly the way it was when you did the backup.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
Yeah a nandroid backup is a perfect image of literally everything on your phone besides the SD card contents. Kernel, ROM, apps, settings, the whole deal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
only keep the ones you want, you can even name them.. just no spaces do like "my_rom"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
I only keep around a backup of the initial stock one.

A copy on the SD card, my computer and also a copy on Dropbox.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
Came out today, I tried OTA but doesn't show up, hopefully pushing out soon. fixes

WIFI connecting..
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
I tried updating manually and got nothing....
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Ya were did u hear this
[Motorola Photon 4G] Victor_A:
More info please.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
I work for Sprint. Its listed on our Internal Forums. It was posted around 4 pm Central Time. But OTA , I haven't received anything. I'll see tomorrow to see whats up
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
See if you can get the version number
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Wifi definitely has it's issues...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikel719:
I get 2 bars of wifi
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Wifi has this weird issue where it wants to scan my home network even though its connected a million times to it. Almost like it forgets lol. I usually have to disable then enable it; not a big deal i guess but still a bug for sure!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
Yea mine does this alot too as well. I think this is what the OTA fixes, my memory is narrowed but all the MR said was

fixes:

WIFI Intermittent

I'll have the Number tomorrow.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
I have 3g and wifi both on and blue. :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikel719:
Mine does the same but after I wake the phone I have no problems. Maybe a 3 second delay reconnecting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dyeager:
Release notes would be great. Photon WIFI/VPN is putting out extra packets which are then blocked by some routers. If the wireless router is used as a router and not an AP and IP6 is disabled, the problem seems to be corrected (i.e.: no reconnection failures in over a week when it used to happen every 2/3 days. See motorola photon forum for more details.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
My wifi seems to work pretty good at work and at home. I havent noticed the phone constantly scanning but I havent been looking for it either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
as of today my phone will not connect to wifi at all... release notes and date would be very much appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Weird ..never had a issue with wifi
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeff_in_LA:
So...

Any confirmation on this update? I have to reboot to use my GPS pretty much every time. SG2 comes out Friday, I'm returning it if I can't get a solution.
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
Me either always works and works great, also pretty fast as well. My issue is the voice/3G radio locking up and then the phone reboots.

so it seems some are having a WIFI issue and others voice/3G... rather odd thing going on there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
I take this back a refresh of my internet connection took care of it. All is well again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfdriven:
Might want to check and see if that said the 19th, pretty sure you guys don't have any MR's this week.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jonnybb1:
What about the Sleep of Death issues? Random Reboots? The MR5 didn't resolve this. When will Sprint/Moto even acknowledge this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i have the latest ota and will make it avail first thing in the morning as it will take a while to upload.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Thanks doode!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
flashed latest and was able to get root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
I Love Juggs
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
So its confirmed it dosent close the exploit right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Has there been an issue with OTA updates killing the ability to root?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
that is correct, ocr worked just perfectly for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
any new bootloader encryptions/exploits for enabling 4G while unlocked in this ota?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
waiting to hear back on that actually
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
cool, fingers x'd man. Thought id never use 4G but it seems sprints 3G has dramatically taken a dive in the past few months. I was trying to stream the football games last night (good HD stream) and it kept choking really bad, decided to relock the bootloader so this doesn't happen again.

i mean, i used to get 1.2Mbps down with 3G, now i barely hit 2-300kbps... BAARELY and recently not even. like wtf sprint
[Motorola Photon 4G] HooliganAMA:
Mine does that too but just opening the WiFi settings usually fixes it. Like it forgets what it is doing until the settings are open. Then it connects no problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CharFalco:
Personally I'm hoping for Swype 3.25.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
nope 2.70.75
[Motorola Photon 4G] doratheconquistadora:
Updated all 3 available things allowed on my mom's Photon today, and just now she sent a text, then it rebooted and got suck on Sprint's screen with the word Now stuck on the screen. A battery pull fixed it. And the battery was more than half full, so it wasn't dead.

Signal looks to be stronger now too.

Before, she had problems with mute calls and ended up replacing the phone over it. That's been fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] plmiller0905:
I was thinking about exchanging my Photon for the ET4G because of the Sleep/Black Screen issues. So Moto has has another update that's coming out? Do anyone know if this fixes the screen issues?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
hey i get no thanks ? lol:p
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghodzilla5150:
No, I just updated both my Photon's (Wife's and Mine) and had them both Rooted (No HDMI Dock Required Root) and both are Rooted and checked via Root Check. Busy Box installed too, 1.19
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Atticustrd:
What's the changelog for the update?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jamesdwalters:
Looks like they haven't put it out yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
Update 45.2.7.en.us is officially out now! Downloaded im about to install
[Motorola Photon 4G] plmiller0905:
I just installed it...but i have no clue on what it fixed or added.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeff_in_LA:
I'm installing it now too!

I will post my findings. I hope it fixes my wonky GPS
[Motorola Photon 4G] mdeezy:
Yea the GPS has definitely been sub-par...My Evo was better but then again a lot of people are reporting better GPS signal than the Evo...At any rate would be nice to see an increase in GPS signal strength with this update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Any of you that updated. Are you on unlocked bootloaders? Custom ROM's? And Rooted? Just curious.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kenundrum:
There is a release notes link on the update notification but all it seems to say is...

Who Can Use This Release

ALL Motorola PHOTON 4G users. After downloading and installing the software release, adjustments will be made to Wi-Fi functionality.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Update failed twice, rooted. Will wait a bit, might be just a fluke.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
So i am not sure what the release was intended for but i flashed yesterday and this morning i have been off the chrger for 10 mins and only lost 1% while on xda the entire time. Thats a big jump from loosing 10% in the first 5 mins. Will run this all day and then post screen shots.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Joutes:
Yeah, I have the same problem triple, rooted too. Perhaps after wipe it will be done ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
I had to flash back to stock in order to get it to update. It downloaded fine but when it tried to update it would show the android,triangle and ! in it... not sure if it was because i was rooted or not.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Not sure, there are people who rooted who have been able to download and install and reported that they kept their root. Battery pull reset has no effect. It downloads fine but when its on the install screen (android coming out of the box) about halfway down the status bar the box turns into a ! and the phone reboots to a fail.

Going to give it time, maybe a factory reset later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
just update and it killed root, darn.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
That isn't an issue. The update is failing. Don't care about loosing root, already did what I needed to do (Swype beta).

The only reason I mentioned about people keeping root is that both myself Joutes and craigbailey1986 are rooted and the update would fail, but I read other posts of rooters who had no problems.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Did you try a factory reset before you flashed stock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Here are the release notes from the motorola site. Just a mention of a wi-fi fix.

http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...RN_Blur_Version.45.2.7.MB855.Sprint.en.US.pdf
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigbassbrent:
Im rooted not unlocked. Update installed without errors but I lost root. Got root back easily using terminal emulator.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Ditto on my experience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Naw I just went back to stock, updated, and flashed root and unlocked bootloader a few moments ago(missed my artic theme)
[Motorola Photon 4G] 21productionz:
+1 it killed root, but that saves me the trouble. I only rooted to reinstall my Apps. I wasn't unlocked.

Sent from my MoPho using the XDA Premium app
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Has anyone who rooted using AIO root method been able to run the OTA update without failing?
[Motorola Photon 4G] duongdn:
Update worked fine for me, but lost root. Was able to root again using AIO root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Thats just weird that it fails for some rooters and not others. I did very little when i rooted (removed the old swype and installed the new one, put Titanium on there) and it fails. Odd.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kwazytazz:
Mine failed too. Only rooted. The only explanation I can think of is that I removed some of the programs with root explorer. Does anyone know where I can find a zip or something with all the stock apps
[Motorola Photon 4G] wesleyyin:
Mine failed, and this was after I had a factory reset by holding the down key and pressing the power button. The only thing I did after the reset and before trying the OTA update was entering my Google account. Frustrated :mad:
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
For everyone that is failing the update

, how far are u getting in the process? Have you looked to see what is causing it to fail so you know what needs to be fixed??
[Motorola Photon 4G] cixelsyddyslexic:
Worked fine for me, lost root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
If that's the only thing this OTA fixes, I'll pass, never had a problem with wifi. Yes, it can show only 2 bars where an Evo shows full bars, but it still is faster with 2 bars than the Evo with full bars, so it really doesn't matter to me. At least with my router or routers in hotels so far...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
The only thing I can see is the status bar gets to about 30 % and the android coming out of the box turns into to the android with the ! and then the phone reboots and says the update failed. I do not know how to look deeper into what is causing the error.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wesleyyin:
I had a factory reset first. The download of OTA was problem free. Then, a popup dialog asked for installation, and I clicked on "Install." The phone then rebooted to show an icon and progress bar. Before progress reached half, the phone rebooted to normal and seconds after, it showed a dialog saying "update failed" with no explanations.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Mine would power up, image of install android works and then android with caution symbol pops up. Phone enters bootanimation and loads up. Then pop-up says "You dummy it didn't work...try again!" I am trying to defrost everything in Titanium as we speak and re-downloading the update...AAAANNNNNNDDDDD......it didn't work. I'm rooted/locked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jamesdwalters:
Most likely it is either that people are using webtop hack or are unlocked/custom kernal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
All I have done is:

Root using AIO

Uninstall Swype 2.7 and the file /system/lib/libSwypecore.so using Root Explorer

Install Swype Beta

Install Titanium and backup

That is it as far as any root or hacking, figured i was safe but maybe it is that one swype file? Can't think of anything else.

Just weird cause from reading posts on multiple forums, some rooted can update, others can not, have not seen anything in common.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
When it reboots and gets to the android guy and progress bar hold down both volume buttons at same time and keep holding until the messages come up. There will be an error message if unsuccessful showing what is keeping it from updating.
[Motorola Photon 4G] onree:
I did the "torpedo" root, installed some root-dependent apps (Titanium Backup, etc), and the OTA updated worked fine with me, though I lost root. Then re-rooted using the same method as before and everything is still ok.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AustinMartin:
From one of Juggs comments, I think that swype was updated. Therefore this might cause a failure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/SystemUI.apk"...

E: Error in /cache/Blur_Version.45.2.5.MB855.Sprint.en.UIS.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

This reminds me...maybe because I used UOT Kitchen to make changes to my theme...maybe I need to reflash the 45.2.5 Update and then try to flash this latest one?

Thoughts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dutchman71:
Rooted here and updated fine. Need to re root though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
The SystemUI.apk is either missing or has been modified so when checking it has flagged it and won't update until it finds the correct apk. You can either pull the correct apk from an update package, flash back to stock via rsd, or flash Juggs update.zip and then run official update.

Is that apk still there or has it been frozen or removed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
just to clear teh air on why so many people are having issues, this update doesnt just check to see if your on the previous version, it checks the md5 of every file its going to update, then applies a patch. if you dont have that file or its modified from stock then too bad.. no update for j00... :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
My error message is identical.
