[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
Hi all, I normally don't like to post questions because i feel like the answer is somewhere online, and i almost always find it. Apparently this is one of those times i can't. Bear with me as i wanna make sure i dont leave anything out.

My problem is simply that my HD2 will not find any access points when i turn on my wifi. This started happening to me with a previous HD2 i had about a month ago for no aparent reason. I had not changed or flashed anything on my phone around the time the problem happened. I figured i would ignore the problem because i had 3g anyways but then that HD2s touch screen failed so thats why i ended up sending it in for a warranty replacement.

Now i hoped that since i had a new HD2 that the problem would be gone, i mean how could it be possible that the problem would appear on a brand new phone. So i went about doing my usual. Installed 2.08.HSPL, followed by MAGLDR, followed by MIUIAndroid.com rom, same setup i had before the problem began. I made sure the first thing i did was turn on WiFi on first boot of the phone. To my suprise, No access points found. I know it is not my router as i have connected every other device im my house to my router, including other androids and windows phones. I thought maybe its a MAGLDR/Android issue. Flashed back to WinMobile 6.5 and still no acess points. Tried every radio available and still no access points.

Bottom line is im really confused how this can be with a brand new phone. Im pretty sure its a software issue but im out of ideas.

SO please if anyone can help. Please :'-(.
[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
Just found out this morning that it can find my access point, but only if i literally lay it on top of my router. if i go more than maybe a foot away from it then nothing.
[HD2 General] joshnchen:
It sounds like a hardware issue. I read about these things having issues with a connection to the antennae that can be solved by taking apart the phone and cleaning some leads.
[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
Sounds strange that such a new phone would have a hardware issue already. at this point though, im willing to try anything. how/where exactly would i clean/find these leads?
[HD2 General] b12rtc:
Check this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834199 and this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190180, but be aware that opening your phone might void your waranty. Good luck :)
[HD2 General] tecle2595:
is that the only rom you have flashed? and was it nand, or sd etc...??

make sure because it could be a simple error in software as well..

something you can try and report back before opening up the phone :p
[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
thanks. will take a look at those.

I first got the problem while it was still stock. then i flashed miuiandroid.com's rom with MAGLDR and still. then i went to tytungs ICS Beta4 roms and still. now im back to the miuiandroid rom. so it doesnt seem to be a rom issue.
[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
also all the roms were nand

Hi my Friend,

your black Wifi Coaxial-Cable inside your HD2 is unpluged and not correct Connected. I had this three times at three different EU-HD2 Devices, too ( the Distance for a working WIFI Signal was 1 Feet. Normal, without Antenna ;-)). Regular the Connector at the PCM at the upper Corner fall of...

If you Still have Warrenty you have to bring this Phone to a Service. If not, you have to fix this little Problem by yourself ( you need 2 Minutes to do that ). Be Carefully when you Bring the whole HD2 inside your Backcover. You have to Tape the Vol-Rocker with a little Sticky-Tape. So this Plastic can´t fall off during the reassembling and is not to Deep to kill the Vol. Buttons...

The Opening is easy. You need only a Guitar-Plectron and t Torx-Screwdriver. Here you find Pictures:

Where the RED ARROW is, you see One Wifi-Connector and i bet a Sex-Pack good German Beer, this one is your Problem. Put this Connector Back and everything works fine...

Best Regards,

P.S. Sorry for my poor english !
[HD2 General] gotenksnath:
Thanks so much to you and everyone who helped me out. Im going to see how much longer my warranty is because the only reason i would really send it back is if the touch screen fails AGAIN (happened twice already) but that wont happen for at least a year. So if warranty is gonna expire before then ill fix myself. again thank you to everyone.
[Defy Accessories] hanu_blr:
I guess lot of ppl are looking for this kinda of adapter (3.5mm to 3.5mm), after a long hunt, i got this htc audio adaptor HS U350, where u can use ur own earphone. Mic wrks fine, no bg noise. the build is of good quality. This is single button adaptor, use headset button controller like apps to get other media controls.

I hv jlabs j3m with inline mic, but the earphone's cone/diaphram is very sensitive, when u plugin to ears, u can hear the cone making noise because of pressure, pluse the eaphone keeping falling off, else good set with good build. sound wise its more on the bass side, less on treble.

available on ebay, ships world-wide

I would imagine this is pretty elementary but I'm fairly new to Android.

So, I'm running GoLauncherEX - not that it should matter since I've not done anything to change my lockscreen besides changing wallpapers (finally!!).

So I'm guessing i just enter in a different hex number somewheres?

Thanks in advance!!

There is an update for the vvm app that allows you to send your voicemails to your sd card as well as changing the app icon. I got my phone replaced today(unfortunately it is 1.50 hboot :( ) and it did the VVM update automagically.
[HTC EVO 3D] jstn76rs:
If you saying you don't want the update you can just go into settings applications and find visual voicemail and the uninstall update.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
No I like the update. I am just letting everyone know that there is a new update that I got today after exchanging my phone. The new version is t.5.2.0.24. Not sure if anyone else has talked about this yet but It is new to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
Cool story bro. Everyone got it.
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
I did???! :confused: I can't seem to find it anywhere....
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
Go to vvm then to more then to settings then check for update. If it didn't automatically do it itself.

How come when u rename a backup folder, and tried to recover it.it says "folder empty or no files in folder?. All I did is rename that folder to a more easy to understand name, not the standard date and time.???

Using Cwm 4.0.1.4

EVO 3d hboot 1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
Because it only knows to look for what it named the backup, not what you changed it to.
[HTC EVO 3D] superman1979:
so the program that only works that you can specify a backup name is rommanager? I used rommngr before and paid app too .what happened is it upgraded my Cwm 4.0.1.4 to 5...something, that app does not backup just restarts my phone(but ask to create a filename and just restarts lol) and when I tried to use recovery (on hboot and rommgr)it just restarts my phone

I never used rommgr after that incident.and the instruction on new hboot EVO 3d 1.5 is to use Cwm 4014 Manually? Any other options.?
[HTC EVO 3D] superman1979:
Revised on recovery part.

When i use recovery using hboot it just restarts,when i use ROM mgr there is no back up file,bec. It didn't backup in d 1st place.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
If you Open the ROM Manager App there's a Option "Manage and Restore Backups" if you Click that, then Click the Backup you wanna Rename you'll be given the Option to Rename it from there! If you Do Make Sure you Don't Have Spaces Between Words!

Good Luck!

Have you cosidered reflashing ICS? The problem may be the rom you installed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
Before i have used Koush alfa11, but same issue with any ROM (have tried few ICS and GB available on my SD Card). Even flashed Stock Rom with with Odin

results are same - rom flashed (i can see changes on bootloader and baseband version from bootloader menu)

but after reboot - same

Google logo with lock at the bottom, after few sec brightness increased and key backlighted... and nothing
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Did you remember to wipe the /system partition when going from GB to ICS?

Greetz
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
always wipe data/cache/dalvik/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Yes, good, but if you go from GB to ICS, you need to format the /system partition too.

Can be done in 'mounts and storage'.

Greetz
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you dont have to format anything. a simple wipe data/factory reset works just fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
You should.

I had got stuck at the Google bootscreen trying to do it without a /system format. After I formatted it the ROM booted nicely.

I just verified and all the ICS installation nodes advise to format system, too. Since he's encountering this issue it wouldn't hurt him to try and do the full monty :)

Greetz
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
did try everything, can change bootloaders, can flash stock with odin, can restore previously saved backup (with error on data recovery, but i think it should start anyway). BUT always stopped on on reboot at google logo.

Also can mount USB from recovery menu and copy any files from SD card to PC, but any file copied from pc to SD card dissapear after reboot.

It looks like some system file mounting problem
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schreibman:
Same boat!

FWIW, I seem to be in the same boat today!

NS4G -

I had been successfully bouncing between Koush's rlasalle15 port and AOSP, with no issues. Today got stuck in boot screen.

Tried recovery from CWM 5.0.2.0, no luck, as it doesn't see the SD card.

Tried wipe data/factory, I get this error:

e:format_volume:make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata

and an error formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!

so, data wipe completes, but something is going on here.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

So, mine is resolved, although I dont know why.

I connected the NS4g via USB and sat at recovery.

I went into ADB into ADB Shell to see what was up/

There was my /sdcard directory, but it was empty.

OK so the issue is somehow its shot, so I'll just create the clockworkmod folders and then push in my last revoery directory, since I moved a copy to my PC.

Halfway through the push, I get a protocol error, the USB on the PC starts singing (installed uninstall bonks) my screen go blank on the phone.

I do a battery pull and .......

Everything is fine! I get back into my last image on a normal boot, and can see my SD card fine.

WHat is strange is the files I copied during the ADB push are not there, so something is still funky in the file system, but so far, I am back up!

here is what I did:

C:\Users\xxxxxx>adb shell

~ # cd /sdcard

cd /sdcard

/sdcard # mkdir clockworkmod

mkdir clockworkmod

/sdcard # cd clockworkmod

cd clockworkmod

/sdcard/clockworkmod # mkdir recovery

mkdir recovery

/sdcard/clockworkmod # cd recovery

cd recovery

/sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery # mkdir bl

mkdir bl

/sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery # push "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl"

C:\Users\xxxxxx>adb push "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl" /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery/bl

push: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl/system.ext4.tar -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery/bl/system.ext4.tar

push: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl/recovery.img -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery/bl/recovery.img

push: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl/nandroid.md5 -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery/bl/nandroid.md5

push: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\Nexus-S-Backups\clockworkmod\backup\bl/data.ext4.tar -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery/bl/data.ext4.tar

protocol failure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
but path for my recovery was

....clockworkmod\backup\2011-11-20.15.12.14\

should i create same backup dir?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schreibman:
So, understand mine didn't even 'work', so sure, try it and see. My orig back up was a date like your one as well, I just changed it to make it shorter.

Remember it bombed on my on the PUSH, then everything started to work.

SOMETHING is STILL no 'right', as it is hit or miss if I can even get back into CWM (as of now, no I can't), and 1/2 the time I get stuck booting.....

SO, I'm not completly clean, I'd love to know the ADB commands to do a complete reformat of everything on my NS4g SD card, as I think this has something to do with either the new ICS change to MTP .vs. USB mass storage, or maybe the difference between the koush port and the AOSP port. but I think I got some issues still to iron out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
i have same empty /sdcard on adb shell

but can not push

seems problem can be fixed with full reformat or re-partintion memory

anyway push return this

push

/sbin/sh: push: not found
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schreibman:
Just for grins, try this:

Battery pull.

Insert battery

Hold volume down and power on.

if no luck try

adb shell

cd /sdcard

mkdir /foo

and see if it sees the sdcard
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:

can adb but any file copied to any dir DISAPPEAR after reboot

[HTC Amaze 4G] DarkPyroGuy 09:
Alright, I am not here to discuss the hardware of the HTC Amaze. I am in the workings of getting a new phone obviously my choices lay between the Amaze and Galaxy S2. I have had an android phone since the G1 and now have the G2. My question (and I am not hating) even though this phone is in the early stages of its lifecycle, do you guys think that the dev support for this phone will be like it is for the G2?

I realize the hard work the devs are doing for this phone (xboarder) and like, I appreciate all the work they do, cause without them we would have nothing. If I knew half the things you guys do about the android file system I am just wondering what the possibilites are?

Please no flaming or trolling, very disrespectful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I think that most members around here would agree that the devs are waiting for ICS to be released for the Amaze before they start doing some hardcore stuff.

The ROMs are here, don't get me wrong but we only have about 3 or 4 devs by my count that are pushing out all those ROMs.

Xboarder himself has got like 4 to 5 that he already has out or is working on.

I'd like to believe that when ICS hits we would draw other devs.

Although that's not a for sure thing.

Either way, having it announced that ICS WILL come to the Amaze is enough of a reason to pick it up as your first choice, right?

To sum it all up we're waiting for ICS and true S-Off.

I'm sure with those two things in hand ROMs will take off.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DarkPyroGuy 09:
I totally agree on the count of ICS, a lot of the devices are going through the same "dry spell." It does help, it nice to have a little reassurance, you know?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
The Amaze has great dev support (albeit from one, but he's awesome) but I don't think it'll be anything like the G2 was. The G2 had two main things going for it: first, it was a stock Android experience. Second, Steve Kondik (cyanogen) had told many people that he was going to be using the device as a daily driver. So many devs flocked his way. Let's just say the only reason I have the Amaze right now is because my G2 stopped working and I didn't know where to get another one. It was all the phone I needed at the time, and was trying to hold out for the Nexus.

I think the GS2 has better support for now, but that should change once ICS drops. If you really want a ton of development support, I say go for the Nexus. Me, I'm happy with the Amaze and QuickSense!
[HTC Amaze 4G] DarkPyroGuy 09:
Good point, I wish I could wait for the Nexas, but I am selling my G2 to a family member and I told them I would this month. <-Dilemma

What made you choose the Amaze, if you don't mind me asking? I love my HTC phones, it would be different having a Samsung.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
I made the same lineage, g1 to g2. And tbh I couldn't imagine using a phone that isn't htc (quality wise), I know the dev'ing will never be @ the g2 level, but we have some awesome devs and a strong device with promise of ics.

The zero lag shutter and unified sense 3.0 ui was an easy sell for me. If Samsung had produced the all white ver. sans that terrible touch wiz at the time of my purchase I might have made a different choice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
It compared them side by side in the store and for all the hype of the SAMOLED+ screen, it kinda reminded me of the original iPhone - less pixels stretched over a bigger screen. The Amaze looked great. PPI is where it's at!

I would rather have had the Samsung from a development standpoint (no locked bootloader and such) but the screen in the GS2 sucked balls.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
^agreed on both counts^
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
Which is why I'm still considering the Nexus... no locked bootloader BS and it has an even higher PPI than the Amaze (over 300 vs ~250). The best of both worlds!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
I for one believe development is doing great for the lack of open sources. The thing is that the amaze is really great straight out of the box that little development actual needs to be done except we all want custom kernels which would help our battery life and heck make it even smoother.

A lot of other phones development section has a lot of support but not all the roms and kernels being developed are being used, so you shouldn't compare and say since some phones has a lot of roms it has better support. I for one want quality over quantity.

But honestly once things are fully released for the amaze, developers will come. However, not many would want to compile a ROM or kernel from scratch like x and faux are working on. remember this phone is barely 2 months old. You'll see a huge expansion by January.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Can't you just install Launcher Pro (or similar)? That should replace Touchwiz.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
TouchWiz and Sense both are throughout the entire OS. Replacing the launcher only really fixes the homescreen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Ah. I thought the problem was with the homescreen arrangement. I acutally like the Sense enhancements like the extra widgets & etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndG404:
Last month I was forced to decide between an Amaze and a Galaxy S2.

I also had a G1 and a G2. I used the vibrant for a while but i preferred my G2 mainly b/c of the keyboard. I played with the Amaze and the S2. I preferred the amaze because i would choose sense over touchwiz. And what really drew me to the amaze was the qHD resolution. If the s2 had a qHD resolution, i think i'd still be deciding what i want. Hope this helps

OnLive is preetty baller.

Premise: Cloud-compressed console games "streamed" to your tablet or PC. It's a cool idea, maybe a little ahead of its time if you have mediocre internet, but if you have 10mb/s down, you'll be surprised by just how well it works. I used it to play through Deus Ex: Human Rev. on my ancient Thinkpad, and it was thoroughly satisfactory.

The hook: if you download the app you get a full playpass for Lego Batman. HDMI-in to your HDTV, control it with a game controller...

The catch is, they never really have very good deals on games (you can expect to pay $50 for any game worth playing).
