[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDisturbed:
Guys,

I've been reading up on this forum for a while now, but now I have a problem that I can't seem to fix. As many, my phone seems to be stuck in a bootloop since I'm quite sick of the i'm so serious joker face :D I am not able to access recovery since it will show the same alpharev screen.

I've rooted my phone using the noob proof guide here on xda (unrevoked etc). And had the stable CM7.1 version installed as custom rom. I've used it for some weeks before the problem appeared.

Details of the bootloader

Bravo PVT1 ship s-off, HBOOT - 0.93.0001

I've tried the solution 2 of Bortak's (awesome) guide to solve the problem. But when flashing the recovery, again the joker face!

I've tried clearing the storage, no succes.

Thnx for helping out!

Due to the overwhelming amount of information, I'm confused what my next (and safest :P) step should be!

thnx in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
This may work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDisturbed:
thnx bortak!

However... unfortunately nothing changes... Still stuck on the bootscreen!

Make a goldcard (look at my guide), then flash the latest WWE RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDisturbed:
Hey Bortak,

Thnx for your help! I managed to push the RUU without creating the goldcard eventually. I was confused how to do this since I only found examples with working phones and only realized quite late your step 7 was the solution for this. I skipped the step before because I thought the USB connection was not my problem.

Just curious, I thought the goldcard was only necessary for branded phones? And in the steps following your tutorial I thought I needed to have a working phone, which mine obviously isn't. What should I have done differently to get a goldcard? (these were the reasons why I didn't try)

That thread of yours is a life saver! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You are absolutely right, goldcard is only for branded phones. This is because branded phones does a CID (Carrier ID)-check if one applies a RUU. If this RUU has a different ID than the one from the carrier, you will get this CID-error. By using goldcard you avoid this error. So unbranded phones does not a goldcard, because they do not this check.

That's how I understand the matter (no guarantee it's 100% right).

my 3d games i purchased say this content may not support your os version at the moment.please wait for clarification from the mods

seems to be just lg smart world market and offline game and files on sd card working
[LG Optimus 3D] projectsome:
have you rooted, installed any custom roms, or done the market hack or anything???

Most likely reason, GB should be backwards compatible with froyo and so forth, last time I looked.

I've not had any compatability issues with my apps etc, including LG World.

lets golf and asphalt need redownloading from gameloft. Possibly others do too :-(
[LG Optimus 3D] tourjefferson:
I've managed to re-download Let's Golf.

Asphalt is giving an error and one of my purchases, Spider Man, is saying that the app in not original so it doesn't even open.

I hope they will fix it soon. :mad:

Haven't tried all the 3D app though.
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
unlucky for you guys everything is working 100 percent lol...
[LG Optimus 3D] kriptikchicken:
Bizarre... all my games work and no need to re-download. :confused:
[LG Optimus 3D] tourjefferson:
i will try to restart the phone and see it's going to fix it.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
Earlier this year i read on a forum that someone who updated there Samsung Galaxy S to Gingerbread also had the problem of Gameloft games not working after upgrading to Gingerbread so this might actually be a problem with Gameloft and games that were originally downloaded on Froyo.
[HTC Sensation] Frankincense:
Hi guys,

I searched the forums and haven't found anything that has any good answers or is fantastically relevant to me, so I'm making a new thread :)

Over the past couple of days I have not been able to send texts atall. I can receive them, I can receive and send calls aswell.

I get the error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts', and I cannot text anyone atall.

I am using a HTC Sensation with Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE Rom on Vodafone.

I have tried copying my APN settings to a new one and using them, I have tried re-connecting to Vodafone Contract using the Mobile network settings. I have tried deleting and re entering my contacts, and also I have tried the obvious turning off and on again.

I do not think I did anything related to the problem at the time to trigger it, only that I added a new contact after a friend sent me a text. After that point I could no longer text.

Hope that's enough info, any help is welcome!

Cheers,

Jack
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
It could be your rom. But have you tried to download any other sms apps from the market? Try them out, maybe they can solve the problem.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Frankincense:
Well I have just found out that I can't even connect to the internet!

So now I can't even download a new app if I wanted.

It says I'm connected to the internet, and I have signal, but it just gives up as soon as I try to do anything online or send a text.
[HTC Sensation] Frankincense:
Just wanted to post saying what I had to do to solve the problem incase someone else has the same problem.

I had to completely reload my ROM and then load on all my my apps and data. After everything was reloaded I then had signal and internet back. I still have no idea why it happened!!
[HTC Sensation] Happy htc user:
I had the same problem....

and here is what happened: my text message was too long, so it was automatically converted to a MMS. (this seems to be done when the message contains more then 765 characters!)

and not every phone is equipped to receive mms... That is when I got that error message!!

When I divided up my text into 2 parts... it worked normally again and send it !!
[HTC EVO 3D] ronin201085:
Hey guys,

I ve recently started having trouble with the Touchscreen on my Evo 3D. The phone is fully rooted and S-Off, currenlty has Leedroid ROM 3.0.

Ive noticed that sometimes it will just stop responding. I press the power button to turn the screen off and back on again, then it works fine.

Other times it will be as if the screen has already been touched in 1 place (even though i havent touched the screen). If i touch the screen it detects a second finger and tries to pinch zoom.

Recently its gotten worse and now certain parts of the screen wont work at all, but other parts work perfect. For example, i can pull the notification bar down or even use the capacitive buttons at the bottom (Home, Menu, Back & Search).

The phone has never been dropped, I have removed screen protector and case, removed apps, defaulted phone, tested different ROMs, and removed the battery for a while. Nothing has helped and im only surviving right now by using Softkeys.

Has anyone seen this, or know what it could be?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Haven't had this problem myself but something to try would be to calibrate thr screen threw the phone options snd see if that helps at all.

[HTC EVO 3D] gonzodog:
Long time lurker, first time poster, so pardon the n00b.

I am having the same issue. I was using Revolution HD (which is a phenomenal ROM if I say so myself), and a week or two ago my phone started having that issue. I thought possibly a ROM issue, but things had been running smooth for awhile, so it seems odd that it would just start happening out of the blue.

I uninstalled apps, and wiped my phone and reinstalled the ROM, and nothing seemed to fix the issue. I finally re-locked my phone yesterday, put stock ROM back on and still had the issues. I took it in to Sprint today and they said it was because the phone had outdated software and they updated it. The only thing I saw updated was the PRL, so I'm thinking they are full of it. I should have checked for updates before bringing it in, because then they wouldn't have been able to bring that up as an issue.

They also tried to blame some apps as potentially the issue, but I'm basically at stock with minimal added apps. The apps I'm using are ones that I've used since I first had the phone. Perhaps an update of one of those apps is causing the issue.

I'm gonna run it on stock for a day or two and see if the issue is resolved by whatever update they did. I will then put HD Revolution back on and see what happens.

If you figure something out, please post again. My issues sounds exactly like yours. Doesn't sound like a ROM issue, since you and I are using different ROMs. Maybe a manufacturer defect, but I wonder if we have a common app causing the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronin201085:
Update: Have tried the HTC Touchscreen Calibrator here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378142

No change at first. Then i re-calibrated the screen but this time touched below the designated targets (purposely putting the alignment slightly out). Now im able to pull the notification bar down! Meaning it thinks im touching part of the screen where the notification bar is when in fact im touching just below it. "Touch Test" from the Market is a great app for testing this.

Could this be a fault with certain parts of the digitizer?

I know digitizers can be found easily enough and theres videos on youtube, but has anyone actually replaced one or think it will help???

@gonzodog: How is yours looking? Do you think you can give this a try aswell?
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzodog:
I downloaded the calibration tool and will test over the next few hours. My screen issue doesn't seem quite as bad as yours. Turning on and off the screen usually resolves the issue ans it doesn't happen all the time.

I went back to Sprint to show the update he ran didn't work. He 'thinks' it is an HTC issue. I am am looking for a good AOSP Rom to try to see if it is a sense issue. The Sprint rep said he has the same issues on his phone.

I am new to Android (coming from webOS) so I am not used to having so many options for an OS, so I don't know which ROM I'm going to flash.

I saw another post in this forum by someone with similar sounding issues, starting to think it really may be a software issue and not a defect in the phone.

I'll let you know how it goes after the calibration.
[HTC EVO 3D] tjmontan:
I have this issue lately no matter what rom I run.. been running custom rom's now for Month's and this just started..can't seem to figure it out..it just gets stuck and the notification window will not pull down or it will think I want to copy and paste during a text, do goofy things while dialing etc....then I have to hit the power button to simply turn screen off and on..then all is good again...seems to be getting worse and I have used every wipe, rom etc..not sure what to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzodog:
Someone else suggested it was a multi touch issue. Could an app cause that?

I have very few apps on my phone, since I reset to stock. Maybe I will remove the the ones I have downloaded and see what happens. I want to think the issue is caused by an app, maybe one that was recently updated.

My non stock apps are: tapatalk, barcode scanner, google authenticator, tasker, words free, godville, ringcentral, yahoo fantasy football, SwiftKey x, and Google+. Do you all use any common apps?
[HTC EVO 3D] walkingcorpse:
I'm having this issue as well. I'm loving the change in sprint policy making me go to a repair center just to get the run around. It's a bit silly that they can't hand me a new one. I'm well within my year manufacturer warranty and have insurance. I'm hoping that this issue can be tracked down. From my perspective as a former cell phone repair tech, I'm banking on defective digitizers that are wearing out or wearing in a strange manner to produce this effect. I've tried multiple roms, sense and aosp and still have the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] Porsche.V:
I have an unlocked evo (no carrier) full stock and it happens to me too.. Specially the "o" and "i" letters on keyboard.. It doesn't always happens but when it does is just a matter of seconds till it's ok again..
[HTC EVO 3D] ronin201085:
@gonzodog: I dont actually use any of the apps. Even when i flashed a stock ROM, the fault occurred.

This seems more and more likely that its parts of the digitizer at fault....
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
This was the reason I went back to stock s on was having loads of problems
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzodog:
@ronin201085 If it is the digitizer, then the question is how to get Sprint to replace it. I may try a different Sprint store today and suggest a digitizer issue. I have insurance, so my preference would be fore Sprint to repair it. I did see that replacement digitizers are available via ebay for about $20, but I'd rather not pay to fix something when I have insurance.
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo kid:
honestly if you are covered under insurance then have they repair it for you... its too risky to replace the digitizer yourself, especially seeing as there are no good tear down videos available that show us how to separate the touchscreen and digitizer from the main body... suffering from the same problem :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Sidmclovin:
I have the same problem man.. sprints customers service blows, I have taken it down there twice and they still wont do anything because I can't "duplicate" the issue. And also, for me turning the screen off and on fixes the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Loneeagle14:
Same problem here. Took it to my local sprint store and they replaced the screen no questions asked, although I did have to unroot it before they would touch it. The way I showed them that the defective digitizer was the culprit was downloading the app touch test from the market. That got their attention. A whole section of my screen wasn't registering input.
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzodog:
@3vo kid: I really don't care to replace myself, but I have taken it to Sprint twice, and both times they said it was a software issue. I was able to replicate the issue in the store, still didn't help. I am going to try a different Sprint store, and if still a problem, maybe a call to customer service.
[HTC EVO 3D] carlitoschivas:
I work for an indirect dealer fixing Sprint phones and I can guarantee you that it is the digitizer. HTC really did disappoint with these crappy digitizers. Whats more sad is that sprint does not rule this as a common problem when it truely is.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronin201085:
Ok for starters im in Australia and this phone was an import, so sending it back under warranty is a loooooong process, so im open to ideas.

I know digitizers are easy to get, especially on ebay, there must be people that have already replaced them. Im engineer by trade so my technical skills arent bad. Im seriously considering just trying to replace it myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo kid:
there are deff ppl that have replaced them... but no one has posted sufficient information, pics, or videos when replacing the screen. to my understanding the digitizers are attached to the lcds with an adhesive and there are ribbon wires that get in the way of removing them. in all seriousness it might be easier to order a replacement digitizer with an lcd already attached
[HTC EVO 3D] maek_it_happen:
Ur digitizers are dirty ... put you phones in boiling water .. should fix it

PC cant recognize

I have been struggling with this issue as well.

Simple solution i found (and after reading about million posts on web as well)... ORIGINAL CABLE seems to solve the issue. I saw it posted even on one Korean forum. Seems simple enough, use original data cable that came with phone and that seems to be it. :rolleyes: wierd
[Focus General] Sondie:
Totally agreeing with PP

PP is correct in suggesting the original data cable being used.

I had the same issue, the pc would not recognize the phone. The fix for me was to connect to the usb ports on the back of my pc. They were the only ones that let the phone connect to zune.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Btw, for these issues with USB only working on the back of the comp the culprit is either the motherboard (drivers or other) or the PSU (not enough power).
[Focus General] AndrewH1993:
Enderpsp could be right.... Mine was the USB port, I had to plug it in a different port and it started working... Just keep trying, make sure you don't have any USB options about power management in your computer's bios

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Okay, Ive watched the Noob video when making an account and i have searched around for a while but no luck :(

Okay basically, I need help! I have an Xperia Arc S and wanted to install the FXP CM7 Rom onto it. Ive seen all the tutorials and unlocked the bootlader, rooted my device etc.

Then I downloaded the CM7 files from the Thread for FXP and then pasted the boot.img file to the fastboot folder. Then i launched fastboot and flashed the boot.img and it was successful. The two zip folders are already in the SD card. I then restart my phone and try to press the volume down key and it doesn't launch the screen that is supposed to appear or anything. and it's just stuck on the boot loop ( I assume that's the blacklight back screen before the Sony erricson logo appears on booting acoording to other threads) I then keep having to flash back to 4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf via the flashtool file.

I then downloaded the recoveryARC file etc and it launches to the Clockworkmod recovery thing at recovery and i try to install the update.zip but it says No such file exists.

What am I doing wrong after I flashed the new boot.img ? Help please.

Thank you guys.
