[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanp0219:
I've searched high and low, tried countless solutions and im stumped. Please help me fine folks at xda.

My evo was originally not booting past the htc splash screen. I did the ruu and now the phone will boot all the way to the lockscreen and either turn off immediately or within 30 seconds of unlocking it.

My first answer is battery, but when it's on for the brief moments it shows 40%.

My question is, since im not rooted and im s-on, how can I get this stock rom off and get a new rom and recovery on? Can i root in this situation? I can't turn debugging on because the phone turns off so I can't use adb. Please help me get this software off and new software on! Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry to post about a similar topic that is already on here, but like I said, I tried all proposed solutions with no success.

Sensation with Reverted AOSP

I was testing out the Miui Camera for CM7. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15307536)

Installed via Root Explorer. Copied original Camera.apk>sdcard, MiuiCameramod>system/app renamed to Camera.apk, changed permissions and owners. Reboot

Camera works fine. Gave me an option to zoom in camera mode and camcorder mode, onscreen. Played around with features.

Decided to revert to Classis CM7 Camera.apk.

Removed Camera.apk (miuimod version), copied Original Camera.apk from sdcard to system/app changed permissions and owners.

Using the stock camera now, the ZOOM of the camcorder is permanently stuck to up. See attached picture.

The zoom bar doesnt move when touched. This only occurs on CM7 ROMs.

Steps Taken to resolve:

Using the Miui ROM, camera has full functionality. Took videos and pictures to try "kick" the hardware back into working order. No difference.

Using the Stock HTC Sense Rom, camera has full functionality. Took videos and pictures, same as above, no kick.

Using CM7 Roms, Video Recording is Zoomed permanently. Tried using different market video apps with mixed recording views. Some zoomed some not.

Reflashing the Same rom does NOT work. Even after Factory Reset + Cache + Dalvik clear.

Updated to bricked kernel. (I thought I might try it as some camera dependancies are from the kernel.

So basically im trying to kick my camera(video recording) hardware out of its permazoomed mode in CM7.

Anyone have any ideas? How would one reset/resolve camera issues?

Also: For you sensation users: DO NOT flash the Miui Camera mod to your phone. Unless you want to be like me, and have a permanently zoomed camcorder.

Any help appreciated, Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] d2d2d2d2:
Bump. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Flash your RUU, then root again and flash the ROM you had before the mod buggered things up.

OR super wipe and restore your nandroid you took before flashing the mod

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
I activated it on my phone for the first time, had to create an account and everything. I then visited the samsung dive website, finished filling in all the details, and now it won't allow me to access any of the features of samsung dive. It merely shows me a large blue button labeled "Register your mobile phone now!" upon logging into the dive website. The button does nothing when clicking on it.

Yes, I have the option enabled on my phone to remotely track it and such.

Why isn't it working for me?

And I've done numerous searches, but found no answer. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Did you give your phone number starting with the + (ie +44 for the UK)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
The only time I provided a phone number was during account creation, I didn't realize I had to enter my device specific number for that?

I ended up including a home phone number when registering my samsung account.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
Ok so today the worst possible thing happened.

i've owned my Sensation since my HD2 (3rd one) finally had a permanent touchscreen failure in August.

Today while on a call the phone started making a hissing noise, then a pop followed by the usual electrical fire smell. It's now dead.

I'm still under warranty which is good, I'm sure I'll get a refurb through T-Mobile which is bad.

I've seen all the normal issues like dust under the screen, creaking frames, non-responsive LCDs but has anyone had this issue before?

I've seen this before on old phones, something internally shorts and it pops a chip which is for sure a manufacturer defect (I only use OEM accessories and it was not charging when it happened).

I'm disappointed and my feelings are hurt. The last 4 HTC phones I've owned all had differing failures but failures none the less.

<poop sandwhich> :-(
[HTC Sensation] Tachion81:
You must be very unlucky. I had 1 HD2 and IT still works great with MIUI inside.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
LOL yeah, no, i dont believe in luck or things of that nature.

If youve seen the forums then you know you are the exception not the rule.

We trained and staffed service centers for bth old cingular and current sprint. Fact is from my own eyewitness at the carrier level HTC has one of the highest failure rates in general.

Check this out (shout out to how dysfunctional HTC repair is). Note all units were within the original 1yr warranty timeframe.

1. First HD2 , failed digitizer

HTC repairs but wont return until i pay $78 for non-existent physical issues when sent in.

After escalation to US AG and BBB for warranty extortion HTC repaired all issues free of charge

HD2 retruned repaired but now with boot problem, boots only %30 then boot loops.

Sold that unit.

2. Second HD2, failed digitizer

This time went straight through newly found HTC legal contact who escalated my issues.

HTC repairs and sends back again a malfunctioning unit.

Digitizer works for 1 day and then stops responding.

Frustrated beyond belief, sold that one.

3. Bought a brand new in the box HD2 from some random leftover tmous stock.

Worked great for 3 months then developed bad nand memory.

At this point knowing the run around ill get i dont even bother with HTC service.

Upgraded to sensation.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
So, this is not a cry for help, bu a rant... Fair enough.

On a positive side, it's nice to see a phone to die in a unique way :) Good luck with your next choice. :)
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
Did you take out the battery and inspect for damage or burn marks?

Overall it defiantly sounds like a lemon. There bound to be a few, especially considering that you had all the possibles hardware issues discussed here on the forum.

My only issue so far is the touch screen grounding.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
Correct, not a cry for help, although I thought that was fairly evident. I already know the phone isn't fixable from seeing issues like this previously.

More of a 1/2 rant in relation to my HD2s, 1/2 Query if others had seen the issue before on sensation?

In the old days we notoriously saw this with certain Nokia models where a chip or circuit literally burns inside the phone.

First thing I did was tear the phone open and remove the battery, battery looks fine, phone itself looks brand new still. clearly I can't tear the phone down fully to inspect as it would void any chance of replacement under warranty.

Again it was in use, not-charging. The syptoms were:

1. Hissing noise coming from inside the phone, not through earpiece

2. Loud Pop/ Display got real bright during

3. Electrical fire smell eminating from the internals of the phone.

4. Phone is dead.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Most likely heatsink like thingy came of when bumped, or just faulty component had it. New mobo it is.

I had mobo replaced on Desire, notorious reboot problem, been fine since. :)

As I said, good luck with next model, or if you have to stick with sensation, good luck with the next one. :)

Most likely some
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
Thanks man :-)

Ok so after the usual TMoUS "warranty exchange is not on your acct" my original rep was able to verify theyhad the wrong SOC in my BAN and then resolved it so now ive got a new-to-me refurb on the way. After 2 6700s, 1 ppc6800, 3 HD2s I am game for another sensation.

In a perfect world I'd prefer a new batch production model, but a refurb is still ok.

Some people argue that a refurb is better because all potential issues have been dealt with but in reality the latest production batch is always preferred since refurbs can easily suffer memory block failures sooner than new units. A proper warranty engineering system allows for production process to change to resolve failure issues so that current production doesnt suffer from previous production defects. But since ive no way to guarantee the most current production batch a thoroughly tested refurb is ok.

The real key difference is HTC will repair the same unit you submit which means you could still be harboring latent unseen defects. TMoUS is an advance exchange so I for sure get a new-to-me unit.

When i handled these programs we actually did a seed stock program so we could repair handsets on the spot and swap handsets for clients in the same manner, on the spot no wait.

And yes, ALL carrier exchange programs utilize refurbished products from independant companies, they are not refurb'd by HTC.

SIDE NOTE: *As i eluded to ive many years working for carriers. Frankly these TMoUS reps at our local core store are truly top notch. Ive had several situations outside the norm and each time they have gone above and beyond.

We had a brief moment of fun when he thought he could get the sensation to power up by plugging it in. I used the moment to yell "hit the ground, she's gonna explode!" which had everyone looking around like WTF!

I LOL'd.

New sensation arrives tomorrow.

I thought bomb lulz don't go well in US... Lol. They certainly don't in UK.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
In hindisght it was a risk.

They dont like bomb ir counterfit currency jokes here. Years ago in retail i had a US Secret Service Agent publicly scold me for making a joke about "How would you like to pay, if cash freshly printed, wet preferrably".

You know how it is, it's all for the lulz.
[HTC Sensation] animaleyes76:
I'm on sensation number 3. Both the others (one Taiwanese, one chinese) fried the mobo's

Not good.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
woah

This sounds silly but seriously?

Can you describe the experience?

Did they "pop" like mine or different?
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
UPDATE:

They shipped it "Overnight" but it took 2 days.

Arrived DOA, won't even power on under any conditions.

Back to the store I go.
[HTC Sensation] ausaras:
I think you should really re-think the "luck" thing...the chance of someone getting all those defective phones is probably statistically very low. ;)

On other note...people who have problems with their phones will post their problems on the forum. While people with no problem with their phones will be less likely to post that they have no problem with their phones...so the forum is really a biased measuring metric.

Anyway, I am running InsertCoin 3.4.3 with Bricked 1.6b1...smooth as my baby girl's butt.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
LOL maybe ill consider luck.....naw.

I tell from my own firsthand experience in the service centers that this entirely normal.

The refurb handset they sent me was really bad condition cosmetically. That is a great surface indicator of potential problems and sure enough the unit is DOA.

Normally i run NRGZ sense 3.5 without issue. Roms are fine, this is a hardware issue.

And yeah we only really hear when there are issues, you are for sure correct about that LOL.
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
OK really need to say nice things about my local reps.

The store manager felt horrible for what had happened and was able to swap me for a brand new in the box unit. I pointed out that I paid full price $549 for the phone 90 days ago and he felt the same way.

Truth is, each time I've dealt with these people they have been so very helpful overall and this time went above and beyond because I know it's frowned upon to do what he did, but he put customer service first. That means everything to me.

Thank you TMoUS.

Doesn't work when reading books? Why? It works on the Nook app on my android phone, but not on my Nook Tablet? What?

I noticed it worked when I tried reading a sample magazine and i find it pretty nifty. Why do I/we only get the lame side-scoll page turn animation when reading eBooks??

(Yes, animations are turned on in the "Reader" settings page)

Going through the samples that come with the device, I get the page turn animation from magazines, and but not books.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JazzMac251:
Utterly ridiculous. Are you telling me that the free market app works better than the dedicated firmware on the tablet??

Run the team b cm7 sd card version. Go to market install nook app bam all my nook books with page turn animation. Works great. Shows who were dealing with when something included in a free app is left out of the $250 dedicated reader/tablet. Same company that sent me a 2' x 2' box for a replacement USB cable. I thought they screwed up & sent me a box full of tablets when I saw the size of the box that arrived. Opened it up tiny cable rattling around it the bottom corner. I was like they had to of had a smaller box, it's just a great company :)

i tried the ViewSonic GTab 10.1" also from Woot, and loved the perfomance. But it was more than 2x the weight of my 7" tablet and just a pig to hold, so I sold it.

With a Teg 2 and HC, very little. You'll get acceptable 720P but kiss 1080P good-bye.

It's also included in the stock 3.2 ROMs. There's an HDMI connector Samsung sells if you want a hard-wired connection.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hiya Buddy:
Hi everyone,

I'm having a lot of trouble with my EVO 3D. It started today on the way to class, while traveling on the subway. My phone all of the sudden started rebooting frequently. I noticed this because I felt the slight, single vibration when the EVO 3D boots up. I suspected roaming to be the culprit of this because it started today after I exposed the phone to a situation where it will try to connect then go to roaming then reconnect with the Sprint network.

Even though my home has good Sprint coverage, my phone continues to reboot at will. I installed a custom ROM. Olympus Trinity XE Prime with Beats Audio. I don't think the ROM is the culprit because my phone worked fine over the Thanksgiving weekend and it never once froze or rebooted by itself when I was using it. The culprit must be the roaming. In my settings, I have Data Roaming and Voice Roaming checked and my Roaming mode is set to automatic as the phone came from the factory (I think?). Is this causing the problem? I have even tried to remedy this by unchecking fast boot, turning my phone off, pulling the battery for 1 minute, and then rebooting. It doesn't look like this works because my phone is right next to me, plugged in, and it has restarted 3 times while I've been writing up this post.

Would a factory reset help this problem or is my phone's radio defective? Unrooting might be a bit of a task because I have H.Boot 1.5 or is it not?

I noticed this problem with every EVO I have received from Asurion. The first was a brand new, sealed in the box, replacement for a lost phone. It didn't want to agree with roaming, neither did the other after that, which was a "remanufactured" device, and now I'm on my third EVO 3D from Asurion. It looks like this one doesn't play nice with roaming. The other two previous EVOs weren't even rooted seeing as I just rooted my phone about two weeks ago. Something isn't right because my EVO 3D that I lost didn't have such problems. Its only in these replacement ones that roaming seems to plague the phone with random resets.

If anybody knows about these issues any help is appreciated. Just when I thought my EVO 3D would finally work fine, everything seems to go wrong *sigh*
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Try changing your PRL, you can manually set the PRL on a sense ROM by dialing ##775# You should download MSL reader from the market to give you the password, then look here, I used the 11115 PRL because The signal I got at my house is not good.

Which VM heap size are you using? 16mb 24mb or 32mb?

I found that with a high VM heap size like 32mb, the phone runs smoothly after starting up. But after one day or two days' use, it becomes so much slower that I have to reboot.

With 16mb there is some FCs on some apps. So now I set it to 24mb. Is that a better choice? I think I need some days to test it out.
