[HTC Amaze 4G] today-g:
I bet there would be no function called automatic turn-off on this phone...and personally I have never faced this issue so far, during my half month period of daily use. Even there is a charge (which I never know), I would still suggest go for exchange. Random turn-off may relates to hardware defect, and is difficult to fix through software change. Try another one and hopefully that would take your headache away. Good luck.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
Exactly what I think.

OP: If you are within the grace period, you can exchange the phone without restocking fee, especially if your device is defective.

Good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] j181:
Two other things I thought might be completely unrelated is that whenever I turn the phone on it says no sim card and then recognizes that there is a sim card and gets a signal and starts working immediately after that.

The other thing is that it says new voice mail whenever I turn the phone on, but when I check the voice mail there is none.
[HTC Amaze 4G] j181:
I took the sim card and battery out and put them back in. The no sim card message on start up is gone for now at least. The odd thing I noticed when I put the sim card in is it seems to slide in too easy. On my old phones I am used to a little bit of resistance when putting the sim in, but on this phone it goes in really easy, almost too easy. It seems like it could be easily jarred or even vibrated loose.

Is it supposed to be so easy to slide? Would the phone turn off if it stopped recognizing the sim card?

Thanks for the replies, I haven't ignored them, I am just trying to avoid having to go all the way back to the store, but I will if it shuts down again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
A loose sim card causing shutdowns? Hard to imagine how.

I just checked mine, and the metal restrainer is keeping my sim card pretty tight. It is not supposed to be moving around as you guessed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] today-g:
My sim card sits pretty tight too. The "no sim card" message also pops up every time I turn on the phone. Guess the phone needs a short period to detect whether the sim card is there. For the voice mail I have no clue yet, check with your carrier maybe. Within the grace period I guess you could use this loose problem to support your demand and hopefully the store would not charge you any.
[HTC Amaze 4G] reggiedls:
For the random reboot issue, try to do a master reset and that should help. I had that same problem the first few days i used it but after the reset it went away. It wouldnt hurt to try. Just remember all the free apps you downloaded because they will go away.

[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
For the ghost v-mail...use a different phone or have someone call you and leave you a v-mail...as soon as you delete it the ghost voice mail will be gone too. I used to get these all the time on my HD2 and when I called T-Mobile that is what they told me to do...works everytime, until it pops up again. It was explained to me that it happens because you HAD a v-mail at one time and it got stuck in limbo when you deleted it, thus a ghost v-mail.
[HTC Amaze 4G] j181:
Thank you for all the help. The factory reset fixed the phone. It hasn't turned off once since I reset it several days ago and it was doing it every day before. Leaving a voicemail also fixed the voicemail that wouldn't go away.

[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Not sure if anyone has seen this or not but it is HOT, HOT, HOT.

Seems that a company has embedded a logger that tracks key strokes, text messages,...and is supposed to use it for performance and demographic analysis. Well, it seems that there handy little code has been place in upwards of 140 million handsets, mainly Samsung, HTC, Nokia and RIM (Blackberry) devices. I do believe that 3rdstring and I were talking about this sometime ago in relation to HTC.

Here is a video showing how it works

Here is the thread post with the APK to see if you are infected.

Here is a article in Forbes on-line about it possibly becoming a class action lawsuit for violating the Wiretapping Act.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygre...ve-violated-wiretap-law-in-millions-of-cases/

Sounds like Motorola has dodged this for now OR no one knows it is there yet. Custom ROMs may also be infected if built on AOSP or source, but I am not sure about that part, just what I read.

I did some digging on my Samsung and will check out my wife's Motorola when I get home but my Sammy was not infected, but I did find something else that was a little strange.

If you go into /data/system/dropbox there were a whole bunch of files in there from each time my phone sync'd with "something". I am fairly savvy and i didn't know what it was sync'ing with. I deleted all the files last night and this afternoon they were all there again. So I Googled it and found that if you change the permission of the /data/system/dropbox folder to read only, it does not load anymore and all that space can be freed as well as your conscience.

Same with /data/tombstones, but I have another thread about that here.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1211774

Edit:: All the links were broken. I fixed them
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So I check her XT out and lo and behold, it was full of these files. There was about 100+ in there. Might want to check yours out. My XT is set to use Kahls V4 during the week and then I get it on the weekends to work on and flash ROMs. Not sure about you, but I am not wanting those files built w/o me being the one building them.
[Milestone XT720 General] S7icky:
lol i read this i didnt think it was legit but now im kinda worried
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Now the US Senate is involved. Not sure how this logger effects Canada or Europe but you have to realistically think that those 140 million handsets can't only be in USA.

Check your data/system/dropbox and usagestats folders. I've been testing over the past few days and if you do make them both ro it wont log anything and no adverse effects.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
A full list of all the infected phones was released. XT720 was not on the list but just in case your spouses or friends aren't using your phone 24/7, here is the list to see if theirs is on it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nav200:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilredstang:
I used the kernel flasher should I flash in red screen or do they do the same job?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
IMHO, its best to flash custom kernels with CWM Recovery, SGS Kernel Flasher is a great app, but it can be a little touchy at times. Also, drhonk builds those kernels solid, and i think they can withstand a bomb attack. ;) But really, if Bali-X is giving you problems, then maybe you should try the regular Bali since some phones can't handle OC and/or UV.
[Captivate General] xboxhaxorz:
I sold a captivate to a customer in the Ukraine and when he puts his sim in the phone it does not work. I used the captivate unlocker program on the phone, it should at least recognize the sim card.

He made this video for me http://youtu.be/U28Y7uyeNVw

edit: he said he tried another sim and it worked

[HTC EVO 3D] jj4201998:
Could someone tell me what the issues are with using the HTCDEV tool to root my EVO 3d? I understand it voids your warranty, but if you have TEP with sprint does that not cover the phone? I also what to know what the limitations are.
[HTC EVO 3D] gorillajuice:
NOne

The only con is it will void your warranty. And as far as insurance goes it depends on if you can flash back to stock(s-on) before sprint gets it. I rooted using HTCDev tool also and really no downfalls flashing roms has a few extra steps like having to flash boot image seperate using adb or you can flash using the Flashimage app, but imo it was worth it. I can flash any rom I want running Warm 2.3 right now with Anthrax@1.53 benchin over 6000 evrytime, 9-12 hours normal use(more or less). End result better phone.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliensquale:
everytime I start up my G-Tablet I get a status bar message saying there is a new CM7 update... it's for a build in May 2011 or something like that. I hit to update.. it says it will restart into CWR to install the update but it never does.. it just restarts right back into CM7 normally and again gives me the UPDATE AVAILABLE message in the status bar.

I think since my CM7 ROM build is about 6 months or so old it is time for me to update the ROM on this G-Tablet to something newer, more stable and running a more recent version of Gingerbread.

Can anybody recommend what I should upgrade to and where to find it?

i just want 720p (even if its fake) video record...and better battery life...

other than verizon, love the phone, its all that i hoped it could be!
[Xperia Play General] n0_face:
Most updates from Big Red typically take longer than their foreign/GSM counterparts, and for this reason I no longer wait/anticipate updates because it's only a matter of time before we see anything.

Why it takes so long I can only imagine. Either SE has to load additional bloatware via Red's request or they have to install the mind-altering code which sends brain control signals via WiFi/Blutooth.

I'm pretty sure this will also hold true with ICS starts rolling out for the Play.
[Xperia Play General] Insane PPC:
i know, i'm trying not to think how long it will be before we see ICS, but right now it would make me happy to get one update :)

i've heard (looking through vzw forums) that verizon made it part of the deal with SE to own and push the updates, thats why we are the only ones with a stock looking gingerbread...

in anycase, i'm more than happy with the phone

[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
All right the company Carrier IQ is suddenly popping up in news stories everywhere. I assume I am safe from this garbage if I am using Cyanogenmod but how do I make sure my Wife's shift is clean of this if she's using Stock rooted 2.2? She will not let me change roms or even upgrade her to 2.3 so I would like to know what I need to delete to make sure Carrier IQ is not installed on her Shift or at least not sending any info back to it's mother ship.

If you haven't heard Carrier IQ is installed on millions of phones of different manufacturer's and is supported by many carriers including HTC and Sprint. It collects data and sends it back to Sprint or who knows who. Apparently it can log everything and it ignores any permissions or security you have set up or something like that. It is installed "invisibly" and you do not have the option to opt in or out. I assume Titanium or some other program can see the pieces I would need to delete but I don't know what they are.

Here's where I read about it and it does list an app that may be able to take care of it but I would rather know how to do it manually:

CIQ is built into the kernel too. He needs to swap kernels as well as remove the apps.

[HTC Sensation XL] prudent:
I am currently using the Sensation with my Monster Beats Pro, and I have to admit that I am not at all satisfied with the headset and the sound level.

When I play music the sound level is too low. Compared to the iPhone or the iPod, the sound level is 40 % (my guess) louder than the Sensation XL which dissapoints me big time. It carries the Monster Beats logo branding after all.

I havent opened up the Monster Beats Solo which were included, because I am going to sell them separately, but shouldnt the Monster Beast Pro give better sound volume than this?

I guess that none of you have this combination, and there are so few of us that have this mobile, but I am curious to know your take on it anyway :)

The Beats audio inside the Sensation XL is pretty much a preset equaliser controls. If you download any equaliser app or wait for the ICS build for the XL that has a built in EQ, then you can probably improve general sound from the music player.
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
I feel exactly the same when using the solos with my XL. Sound nice, but too damn quiet. It's the same problem i had with my Sony A-series walkman as well. great sound, low volume. Seems to be something to do with the french...they've got some mad law about not letting you deafen yourself with loud musinc, even if you want to! Seems sony and HTC take it a bit far and their products all stick to it, whereas everyone else just buggers it up for the french ones.

Anyway, i invested a few pounds in a small headphone amp when i got the Sony. Sure, it was a little annoying to begin with, but now i don't even notice it, and it makes the power much more acceptable.

Mine's a Fiio E5 by the way, but the new E6 has been released since then.
