I. dont. like. stock. How do we root EL30 for the Epic? I've searched high and low and come up high and dry. I even bricked my phone a couple of times. I tried Android System Recovery <3e> update root-deodexed and it says signature verification failed. I redownloaded from a dif. source, same thing. Ugh. Yes, I'm a noob and should hate myself.

I can remotely root your phone if you'd like =] as well as walk you through the process of flashing a custom ROM if you want.

Google Teamviewer download and install it and private message me the id and password. Will be an hour from now... before I get time.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What didn't you understand? It is Odin a file or two, flash and BAM. Rooted. If you are not adamant about staying stock you can simply odin in cwm5 with reboot unchecked then pop battery out and in, 3 finger into cwm5 and flash CleanGB, The People's ROM or Sleeper.

Hello,

I recently upgraded U8800 to official 2.3.

After the update, when i try to flash official roms (both 2.3 and 2.2), phone boots into the firmware update screen, but does not seem to make any progress, just freezes at the "Step 1/2, Unpacking" screen.

Any thoughts?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Izaacbrook:
Until today, my Motorola Droid ran fine. It had ICS Alpha Rom installed. Today, I tried to flash Sourcery Rom and my Droid got stock in the sourcery Rom boot loop. I then flashed over Bugless Beast Rom. I was able to boot into the phone, but since this, every few seconds I receive the message: "The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I researched this and, thinking it was the rom causing the problem, flashed to MIUI Rom. This didn't fix the problem, as the same message appeared on the top of the screen. I then tried a factory reset, but when my phone booted back up the force close message appeared again. What should I do now?

I think I'm ready to flash a custom rom. I've read and read and guess I just want to make sure.

I rooted my Inspire using Advanced Ace Hack Kit, which installed ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7. I did a Nand backup and I've chosen Energy™ RCMix 4.0 Energized BLUE Edition. It's in the root of my sdcard, I also have my radio and ril ready flash.

Anyone have an input on any steps I may be missing? I'd appreciate the input and hopefully I posted this in the right place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Well no...should have posted in the q and a, but in all honesty this has been covered so many times you probably didn't need to post it anywhere.

Since you did I will let you know that the ril is always included in the rom your flashing. You do not need to change your radio unless the op of that rom suggests it...even then I wouldn't until you test out the radio you already have after rooting. (The radio stays with you from rom to rom)

Flash the rom and enjoy. Be sure to read read and then read some more. We has lots of info around here...and bad grammer. Lmao!!!!!

The silver one is matte. It's not glossy at all. Not sure what the white version is. And yes, the case is raised so your camera will be fine if you put it down on that side!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
Since day one i noticed that the camera makes a clicking sound when it focuses or when its focused. After testing a bit it seems like the camera is hitting the the plastic/glass that is covering the lens.

Is this just me or other people have this as well? I would have cared less but today i made some videos is quite areas and when you manually focus you can hear the camera hitting the plastic/glass and the fact that the auto focus is not suttle but very jumpy. The clicking sound gets recorded which is really annoying.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] colonel187:
It's the auto focus. Many other phones do that to.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
Yes i know its the auto focus, it just really annoying because that noise gets recorded as well.

My SGS never did it so this seems odd, can anyone confirm there does this so i don't think its a defect?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
I'm curious what kind of testing you did because as far as I can tell, the camera is just like any other phone camera in that it has no mechanisms that control focus other than software.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Yea, the sound is generated by the software
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SlashAdams:
yeah mine does the same.... kind of annoying but oh well, right?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
not oh well, if its a defect then i will go exchange it. But if its normal then i guess i will have to live with it.

I'm not talking about the shutter sound its when you focus that when i hear the noise as it focuses the lens.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
Mine does the same unfortunately. Maybe it is a thing with the majority of the vivids?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
I just went to the ATT store to see if this is just a problem with a few phones. The display model did the same thing. I guess I am not too worried as you really do not need to manually focus while taking a video, as this would be the only way the noise would effect anything.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
yeah i confirmed with a friends raider same results. Sad really that a $600 device would have this issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
It bugs me, but I guess I just won't take videos and manually focus. Other than that it is most certainly the best android device I have owned.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
Yeah, just tested it on mine too. Agreed, that a $600 device shouldnt have that problem. It just surprised me just how loud the noise actually is...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
The refocusing sound IS software generated. If you are running RumRaider, a user posted a camera.apk that does not have the software refocusing sound. The Actual refocusing lens make a very faint sound that is barely audible.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
thats is really stupid then. Any way to install the apk on current stock?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
Turn the phone around and watch the camera while you focus. It most certainly looks like it is hitting the glass which is what makes it click. It is indeed faint, but when recording videos it is highly audible.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
You probably can't without root access since you need to replace the camera.apk in the system folder.

I don't think its actually hitting the front lens, it's just the lens inside moving as you would with any regular camera. Its not any design flaw that affects the longevity of the camera.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
Well i do have root access so no issues there. Also when i created this thread it seemed to me the lens is hitting the glass. Im hopeful its just software and not hardware
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
The loud refocusing sound is software generated to make it sound like a normal camera, the faint one that you hear is the actual lens trying to refocus. Truthfully I wouldn't be too worried as I hear the same refocusing sound from other phones camera that has the capability to focus.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] r.ciesla:
Hello,

I can hear on mine phone the same thing what you describing. But is not so loud. Spoken with HTC support and they said that this sound is normal. So our phones are safe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] steven252012:
I have the same issue with my HTC Raider

My Raider makes the annoying lens focusing sound as well. It's not the shutter sound. My EVO 3D never has this kind of issue when recording.

I've recorded a short video using my Raider to demonstrate the lens mechanical focusing sound. Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=lh7m5JPhpBU

Note: the sound is much quieter on Youtube than viewing the original file on my computer. I think Youtube somehow manage to reduce the noise. But that's not the solution, obviously.

Edit: Here's another video a guy shot using HTC Vivid (Raider/Holiday) on Youtube. Link: (youtube.com/watch?v=6xaV8CzPeq8&list=PLF12EB9E9EA26EE3A&index=8&feature=plpp_video).

If you jump to 1:02 through 1:32, you'll hear the "clicking" sound when the lens is trying to focus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the android.policy.jar somewhat device specific. I pushed it to framework and it screwed up my screen orientation (always landscape) and did something with my lockscreen info with display message of "Sorry, please try again" or something to that effect. I didn't try to track down the cause as I was using the phone. I did test the key files quickly and it did work. I just think that the .jar needs to be changed for our phones?

Or I could be completely screwing this up somehow. I'm in the process of trying to get something setup where I can edit the jar file, but have a billion other things going on at once and its taking a while.

I'm thinking of buying an htc evo view on amazon, but I need it to be unlocked, because I'm going to be living in mexico for a while, so I want to make sure that it will work with another network that isn't sprint. I couldn't really find any htc evo views that are unlocked, but this one http://www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO-View-...EMR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327199558&sr=8-1 says it doesn't require a sprint account. Does this mean I can take it to mexico and get CDMA if the company of the network supports CDMA? It seems that Iusacell is the only company that supports CDMA in Mexico. Has anybody tried to get another network on it?

Sorry if i'm not using the cell phone network terminology correctly, im new to all this 3g, 4g stuff :D.

Edit: Ok, so i know now that I can unlock it in Mexico. So now my question is, if I buy this, will I not have to have a contract with sprint or anything?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bigriggy63:
There is no need for you to contact Sprint; I have an "unlocked" view that I use for business on Boost Mobile, and have not had any issues. Enjoy your new device!:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
Depends where and how you buy it...just read the ad, it will mention if it requires a contract or not. You just missed a one day sale for a no contract View for $230. Should be another one coming in a few weeks if you can wait. Keep an eye out here or on Slickdeals.net hot deals.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Since the View is a CDMA device, it can't be unlocked in the traditional sense that a GSM device can be unlocked. There is nothing to unlock. The only way to get it to work on a different carrier is if the carrier is willing to add it to their system (which most carriers will not do, although I can't speak for any carriers in Mexico), or if you can flash it to a different carrier. Many have successfully flashed it to Boost Mobile in the US like bigriggy63 said, but this isn't an option with most carriers. It's something you'd have to check into locally with the carrier you want to use.

The link you posted says it's with no Sprint contract, so there shouldn't be a contract. The View has been sold in multiple sales over the past few months for $230 - $300 without a Sprint contract. I've had one since the middle of the December, and I don't have, or never have had, Sprint service.

Dear members,

Hello.

Is it related to WiMAX providers as well?

Locally (Moscow) we have WiMAX provider. I failed to connect using my View.

View is not in their list. HTC MAX (Windows not Android) is in their list.

So let me ask two questions

1. Do I have chance to connect? Is it worth efforts?

2. What kind of information I should check woth local carrier ?

[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Several software features are different between the Tmobile and Telus phones, including the camera. The Telus one does not have SmartShot or PerfectPics or whateverthehell they call them. The Telus model also came without about 90% of the bloat that is on the Tmobile. My understanding is that htc provides the hardware and each carrier dictates how they want it configured.

Not at all, installation of the chromatic is very simple. As the instructions say, just align the chromatic with the cutouts for logo and ports and then its a straight shot. You will need a blow dryer running (hot) to lay down the corners but once you heat up the chromatic a bit the corners are easy. Hope it helps you out.
