[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:
First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3

I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.

The boot loader shows :

vision pvt ship s-off

Hboot -0.85.0005

Micorp-0425

radio-26.03.02.18_M3

eMMC-boot

oct 11 2010,20:10:38

Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid

The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.

I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.

I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable

I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.

again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop :confused:

im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away :(

EDIT:

Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karakoram2:
Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:
thanks, will try that :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterextreme:
Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.

When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.

Patch

after instaling rom succesfully do'nt reboot but flash this patch. All will be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:
.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...

I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".

So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila :) no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again :confused:

Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:

Thanks :) will give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
CWM v5 has been known to bootloop, v3 doesn't (or at least didn't when I used it last)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:
yeah i was using cwm 5, but i think ill try the 4EXT Recovery in a few days, and hope for the best
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandipbarik:
I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.

One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.

If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMSpurs:
After getting a replacment phone back from S.E. repair, I am now trying to root my Neo gain. I was actually extremely unfortunate to have encountered the problem in the first place, but that's a story for another time.

Earlier today after a bit of messing around I accidentally updated to 2.3.4 and I was wondering if there's a safe way to downgrade to 2.3.2 and not encounter the same error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMSpurs:
Also as my phone was sent back to me with the same battery, my phone reads the charge fine, it's just in battery use it says 20m or 2m remaining even when it's above 90%. Will draining the battery to 0% solve this?

I think the case is very slick - nice and thin.

No sure how much protection it offers though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ruben__:
Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.

I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

The neoprene pouch looks good, but I really want a pouch with a belt clip.

Looking around I found a universal necklace pouch which may or may not fit the Note, but I'm not going to wear a necklace.

oh nice one on ebay, Leather case cover for Samsung Galaxy Note .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Arbition:
I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.

Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:

The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.

I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.

Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.

It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] blobotorian:
what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?

such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Arbition:
Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

Cases

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.

I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.

Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.

They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.

I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.

Maybe they will make a case for the Note.

And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

Do you find it inconvenient to take photos with such a design?

My current side-hinged flap gets in the way a bit, and I would imagine a top-hinged flap might be even more fiddly....?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dr.W:
I was thinking the same thing. How would you take a picture without holding the flap out of the way. It seems awfully inconvenient, since you obviously can't take a picture with the case closed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MassoltoV:
Well it's pretty simple. In portraitmode you hold the case by it's flap. It's thick leather not the cheap ass "leather" like noreve. And in landscapemode you've got so much support of the flap for making a steady picture. I would prefere the piel frama case above all cases. It is the best protecting, chique looking, guality case ever. And if it's too expensive for you than that is a good reason not to buy. But, if you think it is getting to bulky.... then why did you buy the note? With piel frama your device could fall from 1,5 meter without a scratch. So if you got the money for it.... go for it.

Hi y'all,

My 3 days old sensation doesn't power up. It's S-Off, rooted and I've been testing different roms on it until I got to the revolution HD. I followed all the steps, Super swiped, flashed it, but the first time I rebooted it didn't power back on; I tried "power+Volume down" and no results.... I've tried removing the battery for an hour or so and trying and it still didn't work.. Kind of pissed cuz I paid the full non subsidized price for it ($530).

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Wow I'm sorry to hear that did you try plugging it into the charger and wait about 20 minutes and see if you can boot it into clockwork mod
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Hey so sorry to hear what happened... I can imagine the pain going through..

Can you give some more details?

1. Does it vibrate when you press potter button?

2. Does it show any charging light when you plug in power?

3. try charging for one hour or replace battery with another sensation set as sometimes battery can be culprit

I always try to prevent running that super wipe script since that pays with your partitions...
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
had your battery ran down all the way?

that happened to me and i had to do a battery swap and forwhatever reason it worked after that. i can still use my other battery no problems.

just something from my experience. might want to think about getting a secondary battery,just in case. 10 dollars.

(does the charging light blink orange 4 times, then nothing?
[HTC Sensation] Elbiba:
Hi All,

1- No, it doesn't do anything. no vibration, no light. It like the battery's been completely drained.

2- Also nothing happens when I try charging it (I only tried charging thru the PC though)

3- I ordered a new battery, so hopefully that would fix it. Whats weird is that when I started the installation process the battery was more than half full.
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
First of a you need to try and charge from mains, does your pc make any noise or do anything at all when you pop it in?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Sorry to tell you but...Its bricked. Mine just did this last night.

It was charging...Once done, I took it off the charger and set it down. I came back to it later to use it and it was completely dead. No response.

I connected it via usb to my laptop to try the ADB reboot and was told by my computer the DREADED "cannot install drivers". That was the last action that happened.

Tmobile is sending me a new one. Have to go till monday with an old flip phone.

Call Tmobile. They called it hardware failure.

[HTC Sensation] Elbiba:
Holy Crap!!! I just realized what I've done. While browsing my downloads on my PC I found two superwipe zip files: One for the sensation and one for the EeePad... I might have used the Eeepad zip file!!! Damn it! Most probably that's what killed the phone... But whats weird is that even after the superwipe, the phone was on. It didn't die until i decided to reboot it.... DUMB! DUMB!DUMB!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I feel your pain. Not knowing what killed it is the worst part. I dont know if it was some ticking time bomb from a ROM, Kernel, theme, or if it was just an honest quality control issue that finally reared its ugly head.

The one clue I have is that when I got my phone on day one, long before rooting and all the magic, it did this to me...ON DAY ONE! After freaking out and doing a battery pull, it finally booted after holding down the power button for a minute. This time, however, its done for. If your PC wont recognize it, then its dead. Simple as that.

Id either call tmobile, or call HTC to see if they will fix it. (They will likely reflash it the elite way if its software related). If its hardware failure, then they will replace it.

I hadnt done anything serious to mine. It just stopped all on its own. The tmobile tech guy said its hardware failure for who knows what reason? I know that my phone has been buggy for a long time. Should have done this back when it was working!

Lesson to be learned: Dont put up with stuff that a warranty exchange can fix. Dont wait for a total brick to occur on its own. If you suspect issues, SWAP IT!

Word to your mother yall...

[LG Optimus Black] haitzo:
Hello all,

I am now on Nova 8, after trying Cm7, then stock, then nova 8. The problem im facing is that I think the battery life is shorter than it should be. I used battery calibration app and when its close to 0% still shows 3000+mv, is this correct? Or it should be close to 0. After using this App the problem persist. Im not sure if its my imagination or the battery should last longer but with a light useage the phone hardly reaches a day.

Thank you in advance
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
Hy, when u'r phone is 100% use battery calibration then discharge u'r phone and whait to close (0%). Then leav it to charge 100% with out turning it on, is should work ;)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
First, this is the Development Section and not for asking questions. This should be posted in General Section. (Reported and now moved)

Whenever you flash a new ROM or exchanging one for another, you should always wipe battery stats (CWM). You can however do this now directly without that app. Charge it 100%, then reboot to recovey (CWM) then wipe battery stats.

To answer your question. You might have mistaken a battery drain would equal to 0mV. Batteries like ours has 4200+mV at full charge, and a discharged rate of about 3000+/-mV. This could be well explained by someone like huexxx.. XD CMIIW

I replaced my digitizer on my inc and now it will randomly have touches on the screen. I have no idea why this is happening. I have tried two different digitizers with the same problem. It gets worse, i have tried the first digitizer i got on a second phone and this phone has the same problem.

I am running cyanogenmod and have "show touch" turned on so i can tell when its happening and where. The random touches appear to happen all on there own. I can not reproduce them. They do generally happen in about the same spot/spots each time. There are two general areas and when its registers a touch it moves a little, meaning when it touches it self it dances around a little. how ever if i turn off the screen and turn it back on it usually fixes the issue for a while.

Any idea what may be causing this problem and how to fix it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishka233:
Funny, I am having the same exact problem. Replaced my digitizer about a month ago and routinely get the "random touches" or just general unresponsiveness while using my phone.

I just assumed it was a side effect of my less then perfect installation but now I wonder if the digitizer itself is shoddy.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Haha, excellent...

Have you considered the trackpad as the possible culprit? I know when my phone does similar things (swiping homescreens, moving the cursor when typing, etc) it's usually because the trackpad is dirty. I can't really think of why the digitizer (assuming it was properly replaced) would be causing that problem..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
My buddy Bob had this happen to his Incredible too when he cracked his screen and had it replaced. He had it replaced 3x through Best Buy because each time it came back it would freak out like that. It turns out that something inside the phone was shorting out to the chassis, it would only happen when he squeezed/held the side of the phone. They ended up just giving him a new one after the third time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freestylesno:
Yeah im thinking it could be something shorting but no real way to test. But after many take apart's i seem to have got the screen to a point where it does it like all the time rendering the phone useless. i have put back on the original screen and am seeing if there are problems there. (i got a new plastic housing)

Yeah i have disconnected the track pad and tried that with no change. and i tried disconnecting the light bar for a try and it would not boot. but i only tried once and i could have messed something else up when i put it back together.

i will report back with how the stock screen does and i'm thinking that will confirm that its the replacement digitizers .
