Have you tried to put it in silent mode before restarting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
It is a fair complaint, because you can't silence it.

If your GNote decides to crash/reboot during a meeting......

I have to find the post, but if you are rooted, you can delete the ogg file with the startup sound.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MoWeb:
For rooted users to stop the startup sound...

\system\etc\

Rename these file(s)

PowerOn.wav

or

1_Power_on.ogg

or both

settings-sound-volume. Set system volume to zero. it does not seem to affect anything else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
That worked great, thanks! I used Root Explorer to rename those two files. And yes, having the phone making noise at inappropriate times is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

Edit, I already renamed the files before trying the system volume. That would be interesting if the boot audio really is the only thing affected by "system" volume.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seepage:
I have been using that method on my galaxy s for 18 months and never found anything else affected by it. Seems to work the same on my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] runaway64:
Thanks, it worked for me too, but instead of root explorer, which you need to pay for, I used ES explorer, free, enabling root access in the config menu.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alex fung:
that's reassuring. When I read about nulling the system volume, I am so sure I'm going to miss some notification.

Never Worked For Me On I717R

The funny thing is that my power on/boot up sound never worked. After I rooted I noticed both the 1_Power_On.ogg (plays sound) & the PowerOn.wav (no sound) in the etc folder. I am sure that the second one overrode the 1st, causing no sound on start up. I just removed the second & renamed the 1st to PowerOn.wav, now I have the sound.

[HTC Desire S] FlexiPack:
I recently bought a desire s off ebay, it's suppose to be new but I wondered if there's anyway for me to tell for sure or does a factory reset wipe all such info?

Do the carriers have a way of finding out how long a handset has been in use?
[HTC Desire S] :
Cut it in half and count the rings. :D

No seriously, there is no way I know of to check on the handset how long it has been in use. The only thing I can think of is to make a note of the IMEI number, and ring carriers and police to see if it's been reported stolen or has been registered on a network.

Edit: It's also almost impossible to use the Desire S for any period of time, without wearing off the paint surrounding the USB charging socket. Does that show an signs of clumsy cable attachment or wear?

Another edit: How easily does the battery cover come off? If it's brand new it'll be a b*tch. If it slides off easily it's a sure sign it's been on & off several times before.
[HTC Desire S] mackhenri:
The best way to know if its used..call few network providers and ask them if its black listed (even if its not) and they can exactly tell u from and till when it was used and even the mobile number used on it....all they need is the IMEI number....anyways let me know the IMEI number if u r in the UK....will try to check it for you....
[HTC Desire S] FlexiPack:
Thanks for the advice guys. From what you've said I'm confident that it was brand new, but thanks for the offer mackhenri!
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Two days ago my WiFi stopped working. WiFi simply won't turn on. I tap it to enable and it's working on it, but it takes longer than usual and gives me an error. Just says error.. the next day I noticed my Bluetooth had the very same problem. Won't turn on.

This happened a day after I got the new white back cover. However, I don't see a connection as the problem persist with the original back cover on. I tried reflashing my ROM to no success. I am also having the

Anker 1900 mAh extended battery.

Any other tips before I go on with a full wipe of phone and cache?
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Ello m8,

Had a similar issue only my wifi was the only wireless function which wouldn't work, i'd click it and then wait, and wait, and wait and then it would say error.

Tried literally everything, I eventually admitted defeat and gave my phone back to the HTC rep who gave it to me, I got it from HTC for free in the first place as i work with phones all the time and they wanted me to test it for them, they replaced it straight away.

My advice for you would be to check my thread and see if anything that me and a few others have tried (oh and pray that it's a software issue) and if that doesn't work then bite the bullet, and unroot the phone by flashing an official RUU and send it back to HTC.

This is my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302347

Good luck and i hope you get it working again. :)
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Full wipe and everything to no success. Will send it back for repairs.. :(
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Before you send it off,I had a similar problem with the wifi not working.

I opened the back and GENTLY lifted the two copper connectors just above the camera.

Bingo!

Wifi worked again.

Worth a try.

Shouldn't it be working without the "external antenna" as well?

NOTE: Only for CM7 Rom ( and Insanity). Not tested on MIUI and won't work on pure AOSP or Samsung Rom's.

Initially I did this mod for my I9000. Now I have a I9100 and did the mod for CM7 based rom ( CM7.1/Insanity/CM nightlies). Flashing Custom_Label_1.0 in CWM recovery will give you an additional option under Cyanogenmod/Insanity Settings where you can enter whatever you want to show up on your lockscreen and notification bar. To restore original flash Restore_1.0 . Lockscreen takes effect immediately. Use notification restart apk from market to restart notification bar or reboot to take effect. Works on the latest nightly and Insanity 54/55. If you like this mod, hit the thanks button. Cheers.

I'm having a problem with my Evo. It wont recognize ANY sdcard I put in it. It has been happening randomly the past couple days but now I cant get it to mount at all. I tried formatted it to fat32 and ext2 with 2 different cards and it wont recognize either of them. My phone is rooted but it's not just a ROM problem because when I boot into recovery I get a message saying it could not mount the sdcard!!

I need some help trying to figure out whats going on. Are there some codes I can run in ADB to fix this problem? I can't take it to Sprint because I can't unroot it since I can't get the dam sdcard to mount in recovery.

When I boot into fastboot ADB commands dont work(i type adb devices and no devices are listed) does that mean i need the fastboot drivers? Where do I get fastboot drivers?

ADB works when the phone is booted but not in fastboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
OK guys that didn't work :(

How does a card slot just die? I can't take it to sprint because I cant unroot it with no sdcard right? Is there a way to flash roms and pc36img without a sdcard?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Unrevoked.com ; if you rooted on 2.2

revolutionary.io ; if you rooted on 2.3+

Try installing the drivers first, and try again. Your only other chance would be that you try to push a zip using fastboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
Ok this is what I get. When I run "adb devices" it shows no devices listed but under device manager I have android bootloader device so I think I have the drivers installed. The fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 looks like it worked and fastboot reboot does reboot the phone so I think it worked.

It didn't fix my phone tho!!!!!! This phone is only a couple month's old and it was new when I got it! (The power button died on my original Evo and the store didn't have any refurb phones so they replaced it with a new one.)

If the sdcard port died on this phone I am probably done with HTC phones:mad:

if you're up to it, we could try team viewer and I could look at it for myself and see what's going on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
What's team viewer? You could tell me what to type and I can do it. I'm comfortable with ADB as long as you tell me what to type. I rooted my original evo the LONG way before unrevoked was out so I should have any drivers I would need already installed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Team viewer is a remote desktop client used for help. Basically I can take over your computer to help; I'd see you desktop, ect, and can go to it.

And you may need to update the drivers, because if adb doesn't see it, that's not always a good sign.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
Adb works fine and the fastboot reboot command worked so I figure the other code worked as well. When in fastboot I see android fastboot device in the device manager so that driver is working as well.

I have never done a remote desktop help before. I have always been weary of them for obvious reasons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Hmm that's random.

And to each their own. it can be bad, if you're connecting with someone you don't trust. But can be good if just the opposite.

Try booting into recovery, and connect to the pc, and then usb mount, see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
When I boot into recovery I get this message at the bottom

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I can't remember and too lazy to click the back arrow [:p] but have you tried using a different sd card as of late? That card could just be bad. if still not then, your port may be bad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
Just tried a different sdcard again and got the same message in recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I think it may be toast. You can try running the fast boot command again..but again I'd feel better if adb 'saw' your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
Adb does recognize the phone when booted or when in recovery the ONLY time it didn't recognize it is when in Hboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Now that's awkward.

At this point, the only thing I can really think of is to either live with it, or uninstall all the drivers, and then re-install them, because we've done everything there is to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
OK so I just fixed it, Somehow...

I put the other sdcard in and got the same Invalid argument error so I was screwing around in recovery and I decided to try to partition the sdcard. It worked!! So I put the original card back in and booted into recovery. Partitioned it and rebooted and now my phone recognizes it?!?!?!!

What does partitioning it with recovery do differently that nothing else would do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It doesn't do anything special. it makes the separate partition [of course], but its possible the other times you formatted it, they weren't doing it correctly, which happens sometimes. Though glad its fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
I just reformatted it with easeus partition master again (same program as all the times before) and now it's reading the card fine!?!?

Somehow partitioning a card in recovery fixed it.

I don't understand what fixed it or how but I'm happy!!

Now we will see if it STAYS fixed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just one of those things that said, 'well he's just gona keep trying, so i give up and will cooperate' :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypeo:
All you have to do when your phone does not recognize your sd card is go into recovery and under flash from sd card choose toggle permissions on AmonRA. That's how I fixed mine

SD card not mounting or recognized

I solved this problem for my htc evo by doing the following:

1. reformatting the sd card on my computer (back up everything to computer first)

2. placing the PC36IMG on the sd card

3. place sd card in phone

4. reboot into recovery by holding down vol- and power button

5. when asked to update in hboot say yes

6. reboot and sd card is now mounted and recognized

Hope this helps. My partially bricked evo is now up and running again.

Hi,

I dropped my phone and the screen is cracked now. Everything else works perfectly fine. I want to send it to HTC repair but problem is my phone is rooted with a custom ROM installed.

Will HTC object/fine/put extra charge on my if they see the phone does not have official software inside? Anyone has any experience about this? Advice?

I can restore the first back up I created(stock rom) but I dont know how to S-off and dont really want to go into S-offing.

What should I do? Do I must need to S-off and restore stock ROM?

Advice please!
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
It is unlikely you'll be charged extra as it will be going to their hardware repair department for a screen replacement, not the technical department for a warranty issue.

If you are unlucky though, they may check, make a note of the serial number, and keep it on record in case you make a claim in the future.

If you wanted to play it safe flash an RUU.

Hi dan-fish:

I am in rooted stock ROM and S-OFF.. If I update the official update from HTC, would it brick the phone? What would be the impact after the update?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I wouldn't recommend it. You'd loose root, the official one has some bugs, and some have serious problems like stuck at white HTC screen or power button not working.

If you want the Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 experience, there are rooted stock roms, or slightly tweaked ones available. These are much less likely to cause you problems, and you'll keep root and s-off. Win win.

Thanks very much WNP. I am thinking of flashing back my first backup (the one I did while rooting my phone) and then send my phone away.

[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
If the screen was damaged accidentally, then how are HTC willing to cover it? I have separate accidental damage cover that I pay for monthly, and an insurance company manages the claim while the Network cover the replacement at a small cost.

Recently my HD2 micro-usb port wouldn't work at all, and so I sent it away under my extra monthly cover. It was rooted and had Android on but was still covered as it was considered physical damage, not technical. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gobbledygook:
Hello, all!

Here is the problem... I was traveling abroad with my SGS2 and was using domestic SIM that I bought locally. Once I received call from local number that my phone detected not in international format (like 891XXXXX). I have added this number into my contacts using full international format (+791XXXX) and everything was fine as long as I stayed abroad. Now I got back home and tried to SMS this number from my contacts.

Unfortunately, even in contacts the number is in international format, Messaging application for some reason every time takes the old one (891XXXXX).

I have tried delete messaging thread and create new thread from number stored in contacts, but this bastard still takes old number (stored somewhere I don't know where).

Has anybody got such problem? Is there any solutions available?

Regards,

Dima
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gobbledygook:
I have found another thread describing exactly the same problem. So far, it's unknown how to deal with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Obviously if you want to txt the international number from your home country it has to be recognized in international format so what you could do is delete the number from your phone and rewrite it in international format to your sim card then copy it to your phone.I imagine now that you are back home you have a local sim card again but if you havnt changed it then check that you dont have the old number on it.
[Captivate General] kafepuya:
I think #14 is not necessary if you are running a custom ROM
[Captivate General] jeromechrome1:
why wouldnt it be?
[Captivate General] emcnelly:
I believe number 11 has been proven untrue in the fact that killing tasks that the phone will reopen soon after actually reduces battery life hence the reason task killers are bad. Also the captivate only has a single core processor.

Other than that nice work it should help people out.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
If you use a stock ROM with no voodoo color built into the kernel, then use full brightness, I do and I get great battery life, the screen isn't the biggest battery life sucker.... this isn't the greatest battery saving thread from what I can see.
[Captivate General] Jeffu:
Generally good tips, but definitely a few holes here and there.

For example, GPS doesn't drain when 'on', only when certain apps use it, making it pretty safe to keep toggled on all the time.

You can go further with SetCPU and other similar apps but underclocking during screen off, and I think that's helping me save battery in my personal experience.

Having a black wallpaper is good and all, but I feel that doing that is a bit too far in optimizing battery life. What's the point of having a pretty decent screen when all you do is use a black wallpaper? :P
[Captivate General] tylerdurdin:

[Captivate General] b-eock:

[Captivate General] viny2cool:
In Point 11, Captivate uses single processor....and killing system apps causes more battery drains....
[Captivate General] p1gnone:
My limited experience with roms suggests that as roms are works-in-progress their battery life can vary widely. Serenity6.1 has really seemed to be a long life rom.
[Captivate General] Chapmanfx:
These steps do make a big difference, also the Beta 2 build for ICS solves a lot of issues that users had with ICS battery life. Honestly if you want even more battery life grab the 3500 mah extended battery off amazon for $10.

Basically dont use your smartphone as a smartphone. Thats what you're saying by turning off all the good features of the phone.
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
1, 3, 4, 11 are like NO DUH!!!

5. Are you saying use EDGE? It will save some battery, but you have to consider it may take longer to load something, and thus the screen might be on longer, negating savings. Plus, it's a PITA to change back and forth.

6. Other than switching to EDGE, not really in your control.

7. That's stupid. It defeats the whole purpose of having a smartphone.

9. As long as you lock orientation. I doubt it saves much though...

15. YES, that can be HUGE.

I agree. I think a compromise is a better idea. A lot of ROMs have black wallpapers with a small % of extremely brightly colored random or geometric designs, or green android-ish swirls or something that look AMAZING on the AMOLED screen.
