[HTC Incredible S] abhijeet_1176:
Hi,

I'm facing quite a few issues in my HTC Incredible S which I purchased just 2 weeks back.

Issue 1: When I make any call or receive any call and click on "End" button after the call, the call never ends. In status bar (top left corner) I still get phone icon (as if call is still going on). When I go to phone call log and click on recently dialed or received number, the call still remains on and "End" button is disabled. After few minutes the call actually gets End. This is something strange.

Issue 2: Suddenly all my SMS were sorted by old dates. All the latest SMS were at the bottom and all the old messages were at the top. There was no way to revert this sorting. Since it was new phone and only few sms were transferred from old phone I deleted all the top old messages so now all latest SMS are coming at top. Also some of friends received old sent sms again. So phone automatically resent old sent items.

Issue 3: When I end any call I momentarily get locked screen then it automatically goes away and I get earlier screen. Not sure why this is happening.

Has anyone faced similar issues in past or facing them now?

Can you please advise what could be the reason for this?

Note : Recently I upgraded my phone software from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3.

Thanks in advance,

Abhijeet
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
those are known issues for android 2.3.3

there's nothing u can do except if ;

1- your carrier releases updates to android 2.3.5

2- flashing an android 2.3.5 based custom rom

3- downgrading back to froyo (needs htc signed ruu and also goldcard)

for the signed ruu n goldcard, do lurk around more in xda and you'll find your answer

You aren't being very clear as to what the problem is, what exactly you need help doing, which is probably why you got the response you did.

Don't install a CDMA recovery. Rogers is GSM.

Use a guide in the GSM section to root your phone and install recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Clockwerks77:
I'm just asking cause I'm a nubbin on a Rogers HTC EVO 3d gsm with LeeDroid kernel on Cobra's ROM.

I don't want to hijacked this thread but if someone were to go about putting the phone back to an entirely factory and 'untouched' state, is it even possible? I'm learning about phone modding quite quickly but find myself looking for definitive guides that explain what is layered on what (like is clockwork recovery is on the kernel layer or is it on the OS layer).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The initial Ubuntop was a step by step before I prepackaged it. I pulled the "build your own" guide after the first release. Thanks for putting this back up. It won't be optimized like UbunTop but is a good learning tool for those interested.

I miss messing with linux

Thanks guys for your awesome contributions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
I've tried to get the webtop configurator to run a dozen of times, reinstall it, even reformat partitions, redo the webtop2sd process, but every time I click on the configurator, it seems to load (glowing, blinking background on the icon), and then only stays highlighted (grey background on icon).

Am I supposed to just wait for a very long time ? Is anything happening at all ? There's no progress window or even a new window opened from clicking on the webtop configurator. AWN manager is actually the only thing that I didn't use to have that launches, even LX terminal 1st opens a black window then closes...

I know nothing about Linux but I'd like to be able to run openoffice and pidgin.
[Motorola Photon 4G] larrybiggs:
My guess is the phone isn't running from the sdcard properly. Go back into webtop2sd and then within settings enable the diagnostics tab, verify you see mmcblk1p2 listed under the currently mounted webtops. If all you see is the one ending in 13, then it's not loading from the sdcard right.

Also, did all the steps within webtop2sd seem to complete ok? It should have went through formatting then copying etc, updating the various components.

I'd go back through the steps in the webtop2sd link and see if anything sticks out. Post what you find and I'll try and help.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
You're correct, it only shows p 13. All the steps seemed to complete correctly, on to find out why it's not booting from the sd card correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
So, after my 4th attempt, both p2 and p 13 now show up on the diagnostic tab. But there's nothing under webtop configurator on that same tab, even after clicking on reinstall webtop configurator and rebooting. So the result is still the same, nothing happens when I click on the webtop configurator.

Edit: So I just flashed 198_7 SBF, re-did all the webtop2sd process, and still no version showing in webtop configurator diagnostic tab. Wtf. Both partitions show, p2, p13.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Finally! Got it to work, synaptic installing Pidgin, next : OpenOffice.
[Motorola Photon 4G] larrybiggs:
Great news! I was just starting to think what might be fighting back, glad you figured it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
I have to reiterate here how awesome it is to finally have unleashed the full Webtop power of this phone. What an amazing feat of progress to be able to use our cell phone as a full computer (I have a BT wireless keyboard and mouse combo, not even a dock necessary).

I confirm this works great with the Webtop HDMI hack : just apply the hack 1st, then do the Webtop2sd afterwards, and voila, no dock needed.

I have successfully installed Xfce, Exhale audio player, Pidgin, OpenOffice, Gimp, and they can all run concurrently, just like a real computer would.

Thanks again for the guide reposted here, it was definitely something I wanted to do but since I didn't want to lose 4G by unlocking my phone, I had been waiting for an alternative.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bwillet:
e-motion, what did you end up doing to make it work? I'm having the same issues you were. I've run webtop2sd at least 4 times and it always boots from 13. Getting frustrated!

Edit: Took about 237 more tries of doing exactly the same thing, but it finally worked! Woohoo
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
awesome thread.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
So I did everything in this mod, and I was loving my new set up. The only thing I hadn't messed with was the resolution. So I decided to do that last part of the hack.

Something must have went wrong. I was trying several different resolutions, and I couldn't get one to fill my monitor without issues. Sometimes it would be squished and my mouse would be showing in one place, but hovering over another, if that makes sense. The only thing I changed was the xorg.conf file, and the resolution on webtop itself using xrandr -s.

The problem is that now, my phone won't bring up the options menu when HDMI is plugged in. The monitor still shows the batwing M as a screen saver, so they are definitely connected, but I can't get my phone to bring up the options for mirroring, webtop, etc.

Can anyone help me? Maybe if someone had a clean xorg.conf file that they could upload? I could try replacing that with mine in case I screwed something up there.

I went through and cleared the data for all of my apps that could have been related to webtop or this problem. Including "webtop", "webtop2sd", "webtop connector" and a couple of others. Nothing brings back the option. I have rebooted several times as well.

One strange thing is that my app for "webtop connector" shows 0.00b in total, application, and data, it's as if it's there, but there is nothing there? Is that because I did webtop over HDMI hack?

Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to start all over on everything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] larrybiggs:
Here is my xorg.conf, hopefully it pastes in ok..well turns out it didn't..

I attached it, peel off the .txt on the end just in case.

Hope this helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
Thanks a ton. I will give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will try re-doing the webtop over HDMI mod again.

If anyone else has any other suggestions, I am grateful for any help.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Can anyone look in their apps list and see how much space "webtop connector" is taking up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
So, I flashed the xorg.conf file from Larrybiggs, it didn't work on first try, but then after a few reboots it did. I noticed that your xorg.conf file wasn't the stock one, it was one you had modified right?

Something strange has happened, and I don't know if it's related, but now the touchpad mouse and keyboard that are part of the screen will not respond at all. My bluetooth mouse and keyboard work fine, but the touchpad doesn't work at all.

Is it working fine for you with this file? I am not even sure if that's the root of all my problems, but I am just trying to figure it out. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
Sorry for so many replies about this. But, I got it all to work, and I figured I would post it. Sometimes in these threads, all you ever see is the problems people ran into. I found in the motorola owners forum that I wasn't the only one with this problem.

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/57460

"I originally posted here hoping to find an answer. Here is what I did and I got it to WORK!!! I turned the TV off. I also went ahead and rebooted the phone. Once the phone was back up, I plugged the cable into my phone then into the HDMI port on the TV. I then turned on the TV and made sure I was on the correct TV input for viewing. When the TV came on I got a notification on my phone asking me what I wanted to do. It worked!!!"

Once I did that, it was all working. But I noticed at any resolution higher than 1280x720, the phone mousepad, or the touchscreen on the phone stops responding. Haven't solved that one yet, but at least I figured I would post how I solved the other problem. Thanks.

[Captivate General] mrcpu:
I would like to disable SMS/MMS on my phone, and just use google voice. In fact, I don't even want the messaging app.

How do I delete completely, an installed app that's "built-in" to the ROM?
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
If you have root, you have two methods:

1. Titanium Backup and uninstall it.

2. Root Explorer to /system/app and delete mms.apk.

I'd make a copy for backup, just in case.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Don't delete it ... that's asking for issues.

You can replace the icon in the dock easily (app drawer, menu, view type, customizable grid, menu, edit, drag desired icon over stock icon, menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid).

In the messaging app (inbox, not within a message), menu, settings, uncheck Notifications.

That way you can just ignore the stock app. It will be pretty much like its been uninstalled, but without the issues that come up when you remove stock apps.

[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I'd presume that OP doesn't want to receive texts at all, thus preventing him from getting charged by ATT. While I'm not sure that yanking the APK will do it (maybe change your SMS retrieval number?), it's more of a step in the right direction, as hiding notifications just hides the fact that texts are coming through.
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
If the OP wants to block texting, a call to AT&T should fix that.

[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Just delete the SMS center number in messaging/advanced settings. Without that number, the phone can't retrieve the message. To disable mms, just uncheck mms retrieval(or something like that) in settings.

I'm running MIUI, and I completely uninstalled the stock messaging app, using Handcent in it's place.
[Captivate General] bornjamerican:
Aren't you able to freeze the sms. apk using TiBu or is that only available with the paid version?
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
I think that's a paid app feature. But, you need root to use it.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmthomas:
Hello, Just got a refurbished NC with version 1.2 (read forever). Works great from stock system, but I'm trying to install CM7 on SanDisk 8gb card via post directions on:

[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards

I've tried the 2 latest stable updates 7.1.0 and 7.0.3 and everything seems to install fine with the last lines saying "all steps complete...flushing caches...shutting down"

When I restart, it goes to the last 20 or so lines of the install and shuts down again (same messages at the end...all steps etc) I've redownloaded both the green 1.3 installer image and the stable roms. When I tried a "nightly" the install stopped on a line saying "looking for file starting with update..." or something like that and it sat there until I held the power button for a looong time.

I did try searching for a solution but couldn't find one like this problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or not doing? Thanks

One thought...the 8gb card doesn't show what class... it only says Sandisk Micro HC
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Are you certain you are dropping the CM7 files on the root of the boot partition on the SD?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You seem to describe doing it right but we need step-by-step how you get it done in order to maybe figure out where the culprit is.

I would suggest RECREATE the bootable uSD first.

Note: redownload the image file if needed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmthomas:
Thanks for replying. Here's what I've done:

formatted 8gb micro via windows 7

downloaded image installer 1.3 via xda

downloaded winimage

restored sd card from image (generic...)

I saw boot disk w/4 files

downloaded latest stable cm7 and copied directly (zipped)to boot partition on sd

inserted sd in NC

it loaded and started updating for about 60 secs like mentioned above

it automatically shut down

When I restart NC, there is a quick white screen it goes to loading and redoes the last 20-30 lines of update and shuts down again. The lines go by so quick I can't read it (or more accurately remember them)

I've redownloaded both install image and stable updates with same results. When I tried downloading a niightly, the installer stopped midway with last line saying something like...looking for file starting with update...

Any help is appreciated
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh1523:
I have the same device as you (refurb NC 1.2 from the recent dailysteals sale) and did the exact things that you did except use win32diskimager instead of winimage, and it installed the cm7 nightly 240 without any issues. It's only afterward that I ran into trouble, trying to install gapps (read about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332441)

same device, same procedure, different results.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
You might want to re-download cm7 zip file... you can use 7-zip or winrar to "Test archive" to see if it is corrupt before copying it to the boot partition of the uSD.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Like jh mentioned, I would give win32diskimager a try, there were many reported of winimage didn't work well.

Search for the win32diskimager, older version is better for some reason, 0.15 or something. If you can't find, let me know, I'll host the file.

Again, redownload all files, make sure no hiccup in the middle of downloading process.

What you did was correct, just to let you know.

Work-around works---next question

update!

I took out the micro 2gb sandisk from my phone and tried it again doing the normal install. It works! So, next question. Can I make an image of the 2gb sd and restore it on the 8gb sd and via some procedure maximize the rest of the sd?

Any ideas why 8gb didn't work in first place? I had done a full format via windows explorer before trying the first time. Even tried formatting via NC and still no luck. The 8gb was being used in my rooted Eris phone with no problems.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:

not counterfeit...I think...because when fully formatted it was 7.4+ gb

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I rooted and installed the Gingerclone ROM, and now my GPS won't work at all. I've tried a number of apps that are supposed to fix it/test it but nothing has fixed it. It just says 'locating' forever and never actually locates me. I've tried rebooting, doing a battery pull, and even waiting a few days and trying again. Would I need to wipe everything and start from scratch to fix it? If so, how would I go about backing up all of my apps/settings/data? Does a Nandroid backup do that? Help would be much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] beauTOICHI:
The easiest way to fix your issue would be to do a full wipe and reflash. If that doesn't work then you may have an issue with the hardware on your phone. The full wipe and reflash should work fine though...perhaps check the md5 checksum before you flash to make sure you don't have a corrupted download of the rom.

For backups it seems most people prefer using the app titanium backup. It allows you to backup and restore everything from apps to data. Its one of the best backup/restore apps I've used though it does require root to run.

I use astro file manager to backup and restore apps everytime I flash a new rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
So what is Nandroid backup? Would that do my apps and settings or do I need to use Titanium?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] beauTOICHI:
A nandroid backup would restore everything on your phone (settings, apps, data, etc.) to the state the were when you made the nandroid backup. This is accessible through cwm recovery or through rom manager.

Titanium is a bit more user friendly and has more options to backup/restore.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Ah okay then. I suppose I'll do both, just to be safe :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] beauTOICHI:
Good luck with that! And remember if you're using a rom with the voodoo lagfix on it that you disable the lagfix before flashing another rom or you'll softbrick your phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I didn't know that, thanks! That is in recovery, right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] beauTOICHI:
Yeah the option is under "voodoo" in recovery. You also need to reboot the phone after toggling the lagfix on or off for it to take effect.

It'll have the womans robotic voice saying stuff when the phone is booting up and what not..

If I'm not mistaken there are also a few voodoo control apps on the market that you can toggle the lagfix on and off with without going into recovery..but again you must always reboot for the changed settings to take affect.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Ack! I just did a full wipe and reinstalled the ROM with no luck, the GPS still doesn't work :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] beauTOICHI:
My next suggestion would be either to flash a different rom and test if the gps works..and if that doesn't work then I'd attempt to Odin back to stock and then reroot/flash the gingerclone rom.

If that doesn't work then I don't what to tell you...maybe check through the gingerclone thread to see if anyone's had that same issue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Okay, so this doesn't really make sense to me, but I was just messing around with settings, and I think what was causing it to not work was having 'network location' enabled - it was using the location from the cell tower and wifi, and for some reason I think that was stopping GPS's more accurate location from showing up. Either way, I think it is working now - I'll be checking it when I go for a drive later tonight...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Undeadk9:
