[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dir_d:
My wife's new of 2 weeks Epic 4G Touch was dropped by her and cracked the screen. It was had mobile insurance on it so i paid the deductible and got her another one.

Once i got the the new phone in I rooted both phones and made a backup of the broken screen phone using clockwork mod. I then proceeded to activate the second phone and then restore the broken phones backup onto the new phone. This did work and i updated the wireless profile.

Now the new phone when taken to work does not drop the 3G connection(different tower i assume) but when at home after an hour or less the 3G drops and there is a circle with a line in the status bar and a scrolling marquee stating "searching for network".

Any suggestions that could help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
It's called the LOS problem..

Loss of service.

It's a known problem with our phone. Google LOS epic touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dir_d:
I saw that but i wasn't sure if it was caused by me taking the backup of the previous phone and putting it on the new phone or due to me cutting off the broken phone and activating the newer and using the image of the deactivated phone.

The LOS issue seems to be random and no one can really put their finger on it.
[HD7 General] N0MN0M:
Hello,

About a week or so ago I updated to the official Mango release from Beta Mango and it seems now that my Data is pretty messed up. It seems to stop communicating with any apps that require data to be updated, until either I either restart or do the airport more on/off.

I noticed the connection deteriorates after a while, yet the reception shows 5 bars on the 3G network.

I should also add the network if not recognized by the HTC Wizard, but this was the case since day one (Pre-NoDo) and was not a problem, infact everything was fine when I had the candidate release of Mango. I have manually configured the settings.

The update process was this:

- Backup

- Mango Official

- Mango Beta Cleanup

- Update (Misc, not sure)

- HTC Update

This really has handcuffed me as I use data more then the phone itself.

Now some details:

I am in Toronto, on the Mobilicty Network using HTC HD7 T-Mobile (AWS Network)

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

FW Version: 2250.21.40503.531

Hardware Version: 0002

Radio SW Version: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21U

Radio HW Version: A.12.0.D4

Bootloader Version: 4.5.2250.0(129966)

Chip SOC Version: 2.2.5.0

I really need help with this as I am stuck in the water without proper data and will be forced to leave Mango :'(

Help will be appreciated!

This might not be what you wanted to hear, but it sounds like a reset is in order.

[HD7 General] mohammadwaqas:
holy crap, i thought i was the only one. im having the same issue for the last 2-3 weeks, htc hd 7 with shinning and also with mobilicity. I contacted mobilicity and doesnt seem to be an issue on their end. so hopefully someone has a solution.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
have you tried...

...checking your settings? (i.e. making sure data isn't disabled)

...Resetting?

...a different Radio? (link in my signature)

...a different OS? (link in my signature)

...an OS with HTC Connection Setup? (all Europe ROMs have)
[HD7 General] N0MN0M:
Thank for the reply, I don't mind if I have too. Having usable Data is worth it :P

Thanks for the input and pretty interesting. At least this confirms that it is an OS issue, to a degree. No it's not an issue on their end, and they won't support this either since it's a hardware issue. They have reception problems here and there, but otherwise that is it.

sh4d0w86, thanks for the response.

Settings: Data is enabled, available, and live (3G). I have also manually configured the APN settings for my specific carrier which are easily available. I'm sure mohammadwaqas can verify to that.

Resetting: I have soft-rest the phone, in a sense where I power off, remove battery, sim card, wait for a few minutes and swapped everything back in. Did not do a hard reset, as wiping everything out and starting over again, no.

HTC Connection Setup: Yes, the TMOUS OS does have the Connection Setup enabled at startup now, and I believe this was also available as an stand-alone app since day one. Trouble is that my carrier (Mobilicity) is not recognized (also since day one), so the automated settings do not go through with the "Connection Setup".

Different Radio/OS I was thinking this may be something I may have to do, going through the link in your signature, it seems pretty straightforward but I have a question: I noticed when looking at the radio link the "Model" is always HTC HD7 T9292 except for TMOUS, which is the HD7 I am using. Would it be possible to use the other OS/Radios, considering I am using a AWS band phone? .. I'm thinking all the other OS's are GSM band HD7s and that may interfere with the phone I have? Or am I assuming incorrectly here?
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
well, if you don't want to hard reset...

i guess the only option would be to try different Radios.

in order to flash any Radios not specific to your device, you'll need XSPL.

tutorial in my signature. it tells you how to XSPL and how to flash Radios.

if you don't want to XSPL, you'll only me able to flash TMOUS Radios.

you'll need to use SPL_Signed.nbh to do this.

that will replace Radio and OSPL, but leave OS untouched.

actually, the Model's aren't all HTC HD7 T9292. there is also...

T9295 (Bell, AT&T) and T9296 (Telstra).
[HD7 General] N0MN0M:
Thanks for the response. Looks like I may have to figure all that out.

I may have missed your answer, but is it possible to use radios that belong to GSM telcos, on this TMobile HD7, which is AWS?
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
not sure what telco is, but...

as long as device is XSPL'd any Schubert Radio can be flashed onto your TMOUS HD7.

other [insert device] Radios cannot be flash to Schubert, will result in a brick.
[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Hmm sorry to hear about that, I've not seen this issue myself but if it started happening after the HTC driver update package (shortly after Mango) then that could be the culprit. HTC are due to release another driver update for all HTC devices pretty soon (apparently) with WiFi hotspot etc so perhaps there'll be a new radio that will fix the issue. I wouldn't go as far as Hard Resetting just yet.

[HTC Sensation XL] arturobandini:
Hi,

Wp7 owner , I am strongly considering switching to the Sensation XL.

My main priority is the storage. I need 32Gb minimum.

Does anybody know if the Sensation XL will come in 32Gb version. Anyway, will it be a slot for SD cards?

Many thanks for your answers. :)

PS: Are there any of you coming from Windows Phone 7. I would be very glad to have you feedback on Android. Positive or negative. Any regret?
[HTC Sensation XL] jambotech:
Unfortunately there are no SD card slot in the sensation XL. It does come as 16gb model from offset, not too sure about a 32gb model.

Makes no sense that HTC would release a awesome spec phone that is promoting beats by Dre partnership and not have a card slot in it. Beggars belief....

I tried the phone out when it came in to our store (I work in carphonewarehouse/bestbuy) and its some piece of kit.

Tried a few windows phones, not to my liking. Much prefer android. Have been using and rooting since 2009. HTC desire, htc desire HD, Samsung nexus, HTC incredible s etc.

Sent from my Incredible S using cyangen 7.1, adw launcher, rooted to the nines.....
[HTC Sensation XL] dhollaen:
I can confirm that it comes without microSD-Slot. Although it features 16GB the internal storage card is only 8,93 GB. The rest is eaten up by system and application storage.
[HTC Sensation XL] arturobandini:
Guys,

Many thanks for your answers.

I am surprised that this device is promoted as a media device and still has 16gb storage only and no sd card slot. This makes no sense. Really disappointed.

So, which one would you say is

the best HTC Android device

at the moment (if the Sensation XL isn't) ?

I am looking for a high end Android phone with 32Gb minimum or SD cards.

[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
Mine is a stupid question.

Looking at my new nexus s the hardware buttons are protruding unlike the old motoria milestone.

They feel not so rocks so I was thinking, what if the power button break?

How turn on the phone or wake up it? How to enter recovery?
[Nexus S Accessories] JohnBg:
if you're worried try to use it as little as possible ;)

my nexus s wakes up when i touch the screen and locks when i put it into my pocket (proximity sensor). So i use the power button about once a week to reboot.

but if it breaks nontheless - send your nexus to samsung they'll fix it.
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
ive been with a broken power button for almost 5 months now. i use the volume rocker to wake, and the lockscreen widget to lock the phone. also, i use the twrp recovery that has options to use for a select instead of the power button. ive even forgotten that i had a working power button :D
[Nexus S Accessories] phoneman09:
I would just contact Samsung the phone hasn't been out for a year yet. They should cover this just make sure your phone is unrooted and running stock.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
Ok I understand that it's possible to use the phone also without the power button but how do you turn on?

How do you enter recovery without it?

How do you have this function? What rom do you use?
[Nexus S Accessories] wild1z:
CM7 has the wake key functions. CWM recovery also allows the use of the soft keys.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
Ok but how do you enter recovery without using the power button? :confused:
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
many ways..

in the terminal emulator app type..

su(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

or there are many apps that will boot you into recovery, like RootBooter.

if all else fails, you can enter recovery via adb or fastboot too, via your computer. once you stop using the power button, you will "see" many ways around it. there are root apps that can remap your buttons too.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
Wait wait.

1.000.000$ question :D

All the operations described suppose the phone is ON right?

What if you finish your battery or the nexus is off? How to turn on the phone without power button? :confused:
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
i gently flick the back of the phone(right under the lens) with my finger), and instantly, the phone powers up. since i test the trinity kernel before releases, i get many that dont boot, and need to go straight into recovery to flash another kernel so that my phone could boot. i do the same thing with the gentle flick to the back of the phone. i boot the phone into fastboot mode, select recovery, then instead of pressing the power button to select recovery, i gently flick the back of the phone right under the lens and the recovery option gets selected. from there i flash another kernel(or rom) and boot the phone. i havent had any issues for the past 5 months doing this, and i flash many times almost each and every day.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
Really, I don't understand sorry
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
lol, i dont either. but it works. btw, by flick, i mean tap it gently.
[Nexus S Accessories] Zumbizao:
stexyn ,I had read somewhere about an procedure, but didn't tried it myself..

put your phone to charge , when U see it's charging , take out the battery and put it back.

Hope it works for you.

I will try this, thank you
[Nexus S Accessories] tellone:
Hi, my little italian friend ! I hope you will solve your problem :D
[Nexus S Accessories] Heretic Infidel:
I have to say, i am truelly interested in how you can get your phone to turn off when you put it in your pocket. Would save me alot of button presses.

I'm currently looking into the Cyanogen 7.1 lockscreen menu but can't seem to find anything for the proximity sensor.

Please enlighten us.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
I have no button problem (read the thread object).

Mine is just a curiosity to know how to proceed if this happens.

Thank you
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
I try this but it doesn't work.

Nevermind
[Nexus S Accessories] gellow:
Could you tell us more about your setup? How did you managed to lock it by putting in your pocket?

EDIT: didn't realize there are more pages in this thread, so another user already asked my question. Waiting for the answer...
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
I don't need to change the lock method, my power button work.

I'm just testing how to proceed in case ok broke
[Nexus S Accessories] packetrace:
My power button is broken!

WHat is the app to lock-unlock with proximity ?
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
I think it is a function provided by a modified kernel like matrix or trinity
[Nexus S Accessories] packetrace:
Ohh ok!

And can I swap Android root for the Oxygen if my power button dont work ? caue we need to put it on reboot...
[Nexus S Accessories] suhas_sm:
Mine is broken too. And I am using a widget to lock the phone and volume down button to unlock it since a month now :|

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Reboot through ROM Manager or adb into Recovery. And use Settings for DOWN, Home for UP, Search to SELECT and Back to go BACK the menus. I do it that way.

P.S: Assuming you are using Clockwork Recovery :)
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
i use the lockscreen widget to lock my screen/turn off the screen.
[Nexus S Accessories] Zumbizao:
That's bad, but thanks for the feedback!
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
you dont need the power button in twrp recovery. you can use the menu button instead.
[Nexus S Accessories] suhas_sm:
Oops I actually meant volume down button and not the power button :(
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
How do you set the volume down for wake up the phone?
[Nexus S Accessories] fanciulli:
Guys,

do you think that the button failure is due to a wekness of the button itself or is it due by the way you interact with it (like you push button too hard or something like this)?

It seems strange to me that a button (one of the simplest pieces of hardware) can break so many times. This device has been stress tested by Google also (think to the time spent developing for it), a weak button would be found before launch...

What's your opinion?

Massimiliano
[Nexus S Accessories] dpeeps74:
I think that it would be a stretch to say this is a problem. Fact is that the power button would be one of the most likely things to stop working. It's multiple pieces and has mechanical and electrical components. Having a few posts about the problem with a few users each is miniscule compared to the number of units they likely have sold or even compared to the number of xda lurkers alone that have this phone. People who don't have a problem rarely have anything to report.

hey guys, my setup is:

im using script-manager to launch the ezekeel touch wake script on boot.

easier way:

to wake on touch

use the brilliant app "NSTools" (search in the market).

activate touchwake and set the delay to 0 so it always wakes on touch.

to lock on proximity

The app called AutoLock (market) does exactly this.
[Nexus S Accessories] stexyn:
I find another nice solution.

Just download from market tap tap app (look also some videos on youtube).

With this app you can add a widget to press for lock and use a double tap over the proxymity sensor for wake up :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suntzu123:
game use more and more RAM, so... I noticed that wolf's rom on my father's x10 use only 80-90MB of ram....

... so Xperia got more free ram than SGS? Funny? NOT

I know I can't change it, but why Wolf's made damn light rom, and we got less free space?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Are the firmwares the same? Different firmware requires different amounts of RAM.

And yes, actually, there is something you can do about it. Check out the V6 Supercharger script. With that, you can change how much RAM the system keeps free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suntzu123:
I mean everything is closed. And yes I know the trick...

Still SGS with launcher took 120MB (fresh after flash) and 130-150MB after all Aps restore, SWYPE etc....

So clean Android here 130-150 with no apps running at background...

Xperia X10 I open setting, I did not clean any of apps, and Android took 88MB ...

It was surprise for me.

The worst part is that SGS got 512MB of total Memory vs 384MB. I got around 160MB free memory on Xperia vs 160-170mb free memory on SGS.

So only real possible way to increase free memory is to put to SGS Bigmem kernel that break 720p recording.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Again, if you're talking about free RAM with no apps running, then you're talking about how much RAM the firmware is using. If you want your phone to always keep more RAM free than it currently does, you can use various tweaks to modify Android's memory management—such as the V6 Supercharger Script that I previously linked to. If this isn't sufficient, then you can flash a Froyo ROM (instead of a Gingerbread ROM), since Froyo uses less RAM.

If you're asking why Android on the Xperia device is using less RAM, I honestly have no idea. But it's likely due to a difference in firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:
My froyo uses 240mb of ram with no apps active. Just some widgets like facebook,clock,callendar...So i guess your ok with 150mb.

1.- When i make a call the sometimes the screen do not turn off ,and i pressed the buttons with my face xD. obviously this is not ok.

2.- When I move the screen up or down and i get to the end of the menu, appears one kind of transparent blue line (like a shadow) and then, this line dissapear.(add screenshot)

Thx for the time and, sorry me bad english.

to get 608 you need to go back to 2.4.33

The “shadow” in the screenshot is the scroll stop indicator, telling you “there's nowhere to scroll more”. In Froyo, it was bouncing. In Gingerbread, it's the tinting.

I unfortunately dropped my Desire this morning and managed to break the glass/digitizer.

Can anyone recommend a repairer preferably in the north East, UK.

I have seen replacement digitizers already fitted into the front housing for £19.99 on a well known auction site.

Looking at videos on how to replace the digitizer it doesn't look too difficult just looks intricate and unsure if i should have a go at replacing or just take it to a local repairer.

What's everyone's opinions?

Thanks

In the past I've found buying the digitizer and then getting a shop to fit it best for me

little fiddly but if u take your time and be careful, you should be fine

there is a photo show on youtube somewhere, gives u a better breakdown.

I did exactly the same a few months ago and took the route of buying a replacement and fitting myself.

I have to be honest there were a few moments when I thought that was a mistake and I should have taken it to a shop. I found it VERY fiddly and was convinced i was going to break it, the insides are really delicate.

If you decide to do it, get as many instructions from google, youtube as you can and read/watch them all before starting. I seem to remember the ones I followed ware unclear at a certain stage. The ones from ayu452 look good tho. Have the right tools and allow plenty of time. Good Luck.

That was my reason behind doing that. Still much cheaper than if you asked HTC to do it.
