[Motorola Droid Bionic] shiphtfour:
So, it seems my Bionic has serious issues connecting to LTE. When I first got it, I got 4G all the time, without issue. Then after about a week, it started only connecting to 3G even though I had LTE enabled and I know it is in my area. Around the same time I started having battery issues where it would drain in about half a day when mostly idle. At this point I had done very little to the phone, hadn't rooted, and only installed a handful of apps. Well, when unleashed 1.3 came out, I decided to root and flash that to see if it would fix my issues. On first bootup, I only had 3G still, so I rebooted, and finally, I had 4G LTE back! Well, I stupidly decided to install LTE Switch and turn off 4G when I wasn't using it. The problem is, now when I turn LTE back on, it only connects to 3G again. Hasn't connected to 4G again since that first day when 1.3 was released. Rooting and calibrating my battery has fixed the battery issue for the most part, but I still feel like my battery doesn't last as long as it used to or as long as others on the forum claim. I am unsure if I got a lemon (I didn't buy on release day but a little less than a week after), especially because I have had ZERO random reboots or other problems. Phone runs buttery smooth except for the 3G only and subpar battery life... Any ideas? Anyone have the stock modems that I can flash to see if that fixes things?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] luke1333:
My battery sucks too but at least I got lte
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shiphtfour:
Did a full restore of the Stock FXZ and LTE is working again. Just installed Unleashed 1.3 and still getting 4G. Hopefully it stays that way. Thanks mistawolfe.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] moeinyoho:
lte is like the best out, right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
Having the same issues at times. rebooting fixes it. But it is annoying.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
No prob
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RoboJoe:
Next time it happens, open your dialer, dial *#*#INFO#*#* and select phone info, scroll down, and click turn radio off, then click it again to turn it back on. It doesn't solve the problem, but might save you a reboot or reflash.

Careful what you mess with in that menu, I'm not sure what everything does.

Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.

I have had my MyTouch 4G for about a month and have yet to find a stable one click root solution for it yet. I have searched all of the forums, YouTube, Google, etc, but all of the answers are for Froyo. Is there a one click solution for 2.3? The new Super Once Click always freezes on step 5.

DroidX 2.3.3 - Rooted via Pete's - LauncherPro

I bought EQUALIZER from SmartAndroidApps, and POWERAMP from MaxMP. Both do well with media audio, but neither can manipulate the telephone audio stream.

I'm hard of hearing, and would like to control telephone audio from the speaker. My current solution is external, using earbuds with a lump in the cable that houses a passive RC circuit to approximate the curve I need.

Is there an EQ app or method to do that internally, so I can use the speakerphone?
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
There once was a flashable zip called turn it to eleven that allowed you to exceed normal volume levels... maybe look around for that or something like it... if you are not rooted I don't think there are any options...

[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
Works good for me on my x running CM7 too, however even at the loudest setting my ringtones still aren't more than 1 or 2 decibels louder than stock... wonder if there is a way to really increase volume?....

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Droid X General] elizcam:
Poweramp app has a great one in its player idk if you can use it without using the player. It even has a pre amp.
[Droid X General] marculous:
Tried amplifying the sounds with something like wave pad or MP3 gain, then putting them back?

I always amplify mine with wave pad, then put them in the media folder of my sd card, that way I don't have to use root explorer every time to put them back in system sounds whenever I flash another nightly.

DX+CM7
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
Maybe I can do something like that... I'll look and see if I can find where the tunes are stored, maybe use root explorer to modify them, or something like that... I'll check around the forums a bit and see how to do that :-)

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Droid X General] marculous:
Are they actual system sounds, or your own ringtones?

DX+CM7
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
System sounds

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Droid X General] marculous:
using root explorer, they are in system/media/audio/ringtones. They are .ogg. You may have to convert them before amplifying them. I would rename them and put them on the sd card, in media/audio/ringtones. Wave pad may convert them, or free make. Both are free. Good luck, let me know how it goes, any questions just ask.

DX+CM7
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
Very cool I see the alarm tones too :-) maybe now I'll actually hear the alarm going off... gonna copy these to sd and try to convert, increase volume, reconvert and save back into root explorer... wonder if I'll have to do this after each nightly? One way to find out.... after I suceed I will keep a copy of files on sd card just in case and I'll flash a nightly and see if it overwrites the files... will report back

SGT+CM7= :-D
[Droid X General] marculous:
Flashing nightly should overwrite them, I know it did with my ringtones, that's why I started just putting them on the sd. Overwrites boot animation too, I gave up on changing that every time.

What I really need is to apply EQ to telephone (incoming voice) audio.

I can do it externally via the 3.5mm audio jack, using an active equalizer. Bulky. It would be great to do it inside the phone.
[Droid X General] TheBookheimer:
Phone Audio Equalizer

i would highly recomend the dsp manager because it equalizes your application and music audio output, your speaker output , and you can control bluetooth settings as well. I personally think its better than any of the paid apps that you can get. i also dont get why someone hasnt posted a link for thDSPManager.apk but i will post one for you and everyone else.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Hi all

Was wondering if I should take advantage of the partitioning tool in rom manager. Should I empty out my sdcard before using this? Will titanium backup know where to put the apps when I move them to the sdcard after installation? 256 or 512?

Thanks

Heeter
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
dont partition your internal sd card. its not needed and its a bad idea. its not as easy to replace as an external sd card when you mess it up. you can already install apps to sd without it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Thanks for your response

Heeter
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzfive:
From what I've read, the Nexus S actually has a NAND chip instead of an internal SD, so imo, partitioning like that is even worse o.O
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitcherj:
Hey Guys,

Figured I would draw on your collective knowledge and/or opinions.

My device is stock, just upgraded to 2.3.7, rooted, CWM 5.0.2.0.

I've peeked at the stickied thread with a list of kernels, but that hasn't necessarily helped me make a decision.

Mainly I am interested in over-clocking, however if there are some extras thrown in (such as the ability to actually use VPN with a PPTP VPN) that would be cool.

I'm not looking for a complete ROM, just the kernel.

Ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
Nice Friday reference :P

Btw wrong section Haha.

Wanted to add some more info:

Current Kernel:

$ uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef #1 PREEMPT Tue Aug 2 13:57:05 PDT 2011 armv7l

GNU/Linux

I'd rather not backrev my kernel if possible, unless there wouldn't be an issue running 2.3.7 with an older kernel (presuming 2.3.7 changed it).

Is there an easy way to back up my current kernel to revert to in case the new kernel install goes awry?

Always first reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache 3 times each, then restart and see if that fixes it.

Other way to solve this problem?

Hi

I had the same error after installing a new RADIO version on my Desire S.

-> Market closes unexpected

-> Can't open cache... in recovery

I fixed the problem with CWM Recovery!

1. Restart phone to ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Choose "wipe cache partition"

3. "reboot system now"

DONE
[HTC Desire S] yeawhatever:
Just checked my chip and luckily I'm not affected. Sympathy to l u guys who are. :o(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I have tried this as well but my partition size was null. Tried formatting as Ext3 and Ext4. Honestly haven't tried just to format...

Btw the command mk2fs (the 2nd method in my initial post) makes exactly the same as your solution but from the command prompt. Anyway yours is easier so thanks for the contribution! But keep in mind that in both ways the partirion will be restored as ext3 so you will have to use 4EXT Recovery later to convert if you want to use the advantages of ext4
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Hello,

I've just one question: why this happens?

Every time I wipe the cache and the dalvik-cache through the Recovery, I get this error. Should be considered as normal hence?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
"Every time" is definately not NORMAL! Check your partiton type ext2/3/4. If not ext4 format it as such with 4EXT Recovery

And one piece of advice: change your bootloader version, in case you stuck. This cannot be overwritten so you will go straight to replacement (most probably paid by you)
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
How can I see which filesystem type is it?

Anyway, I use ClockworkMod now, and I don't think it is ext4.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Checked: it is a ex2 partition.

I've just flashed the 4EXT Recovery.

So, you suggest to change the bootloader? Which version?

I didn't understand what could cause the stuck: the partition type change? What cannot be overwritten? Maybe it's not clear to me what is the risk.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The best option IMO is the hboot from my signature: 0.98.2000 (2.0.2002 reduces your cache space and maybe will be useful in future, but for now it isn't)

The reason: Revolutionary/Alpharev is permanent, which means that it cannot be overwritten (I have an untested method that may unlock it but I cannot verify and definitely will not brick my device to try it out :) ), unlike the other ENG Bootloaders which provide the same functionality but can be easily replaced (by RUU for example) if necessary. Like if you flash some incompatible software that bricks your phone and you are not able (or just do not have) to restore a Nandroid backup there is nothing you can do except to go to a repair center, where they will see that your bootloader is 6.98.1002 and most probably you will pay the repair (the eMMC chip costs about 1/3 of the phone price). On other hand if you can restore the system or at least the bootloader with the Stock one (e.g. from RUU) you can always say that your phone just collapsed and you do not know anything about it. I hope now it will be more clear to you.

P.S.: 4EXT Recovery is the best choice! :)
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks a lot for the explanation. You was very clear now.

So, if I'm not wrong, and if I've really understood everything, you mean that my old ClockworkMod Recovery is still there, and the 4EXT (that is a modified CWM recovery), is a sort of upgrade of CWM.

Anyway, I have a doubt about the hBoot you mentioned: the 0.98.2000 which is reported as the original one in the related thread, but before S-Offing and rooting my phone with revolutionary, I had 0.98.0002. Is it not different?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
4EXT Recovery is based on ClockworkMod, but is has more functionality...now you can still use your backups from CWM, even to convert them to ext4 format (check the 4EXT thread in my signature all is described there.

Now, my explanation above was related to the bootloaders (hboot) :)

For the Desire S there are the following hboot versions:

0.98.0000, 0.98.0002 and 2.00.0002 - Stock. The latter currently cannot be unlocked by Revolutionary exploit

0.98.2000 - "old" Engineering bootloader that allows you to flash system stuff like custom Recovery, different Radio version, unsigned stuff, etc.

2.00.2002 - Engineering bootloader with the same functions as the "old" one but with different partition style (/cache is 150 MB smaller and /system has 150 MB more space), but currently supported only by the new OTA (Stock) ROM

6.98.1000 and 6.98.1002 - Revolutionary/Alpharev Engineering bootloader that is installed on your device after S-OFF, with the same functions and partition style as 0.98.2000, but cannot be directly overwritten by RUU if you get in trouble...
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've just put the 0.98.2000 ENG hBoot, but as regard the filesystem type: do you mean I have to convert all partitions to ext4 or only the cache partition?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
system, data and cache. Then flash the new ROM. Of course you can use ext3 without any problems. Do some reading here and decide for yourself, but it is mentioned that:
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've followed your suggestions, and this time, with 4EXT and the cache wipe, I've not seen the messages I've reported when I used the CWM. Formatted all partitions (not the sdcard) to ext4 and all is OK!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Glad to hear :)
[HTC Desire S] clubbtraxx:
Awesome post.

I have one extra problem right now and that is my phone will not power up?

I have the symptoms of fried eMMC chip, but since switching it off at one point it will not power up anymore. Tried battery in a different phone and it is nearly full.

Any Ideas?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
is there any vibration when you turn it on or does the led light?

have you altered your device eg root or custom ROM etc?

If no return under warranty as sounds like hardware issue

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] clubbtraxx:
Ben, right now nothing happens when I press the power button.

My saga was rooted through AlphaRev and I was trying few different ROMs

Somewhere along the way I changed my SD card and after powerup into recovery I noticed for the first time these errors in CWM.

After reading on here I tried few things and at one point shut it off and since can't power back on. My hboot and recovery were still working but as said can't power up anymore now.

When I attach the USB cable the led flashes on and off about every second or two. This stops when I press the power button but the phone doesn't power up.

Looks like bricked to me :-(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes seem like a total brick...I think that you have flashed something that is not belonging to your phone (probably you are branded). Anyway try adb and fastboot, if any of these commands can detect the phone you can try to reboot to bootloader or recovery. If not go straight for a repair and do not mention the custom software part :)

P.S. curious what you did before this happened?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If fastboot command cannot write to your internal memory then there is only one solution: go to a repair centre. If you are lucky they will acknowledge your warranty...
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
So there's no way to S-on or flash another rom? So this might be a emmc issue after all.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
From my experience (you can browse back in this thread and some others) unfortunately not. Of course ou can continue trying...

But since you cannot flash hboot and recovery then your internal memory is not allowing write access which in other words means "fried" eMMC. Sorry
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Hi!

I tried to flash hboot 0.98.0000 over 6.98.1002 on Desire S and get the following:

(bootloader) image update bypassed

then "update" was complete, hboot version remained as it was

What does it mean and how can I fix it?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Привет! :)

If you have custom recovery, connect to PC, copy hboot.img to SDcard, enter adb shell and use "dd" commands to flash it (see here).
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Привет! :)

Thank you, could you explain a bit more - in the guide you linked me to, there is the last text block:

shall I consider it as well or it's only for 2.00.2002?

If yes, then which PG88IMG and what Kernel shall I use, if using hboot.img for 0.98.0000 hboot?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes, this is only for 2.00.2002

just use the hboot.img that you already have (0.98.2000)

boot your phone to Recovery (from the bootloader menu)

connect to PC

copy hboot.img to SDcard

type in cmd:

adb devices [I]{your serial should appear}[/I]
adb shell [I]{there should be # prompt, if not type "su"}[/I]
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
adb reboot bootloader [I]{check the version it should be 0.98.2000 now}[/I]

Sorry for off-topic, but I can't manage to do this... :(

doesn't work somehow...

No such file or directory.

But:

dd if=/sdcard/backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

works again.

Strange is as well, that in the sdcard root there is hboot.img, but no backup.img

What do I do wrong?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
try this:

adb shell
mount /sdcard
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do you have sd-ext partitions on your SDCard? Copy your important data to PC and format it from recovery
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
No, only fat32..

but I did following:

- "unmount sdcard" in Mounts and Storage menu of Recovery

- "adb shell

mount /sdcard

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18"

it DID work. :)

Problem

Hallo,

after i pulled the battery of my freezed Desire S, i'm stuck at the green HTC logo and get the error "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log" in recovery.

I have the revolutionary s-off hboot.

When i try to format /system, /cache, /data, i get an "error formatting..."

I tried to change hboot via fastboot, adb, PG88IMG and RUU, but i always get errors (bypassed or "can't roll back hboot").

I appreciate any help, thank you very much!

PS: I would be contended if i could get back to S-ON, so i can send it to the repaircenter.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
See post one - do the check in adb shell (grep dmesg)

But unfortunately I think it is obvious - you phone is dead. Most probably you cannot restore S-ON. Sorry, you can only hope that in the repair center they will not notice the S-OFF...
