I have heard this issue alot on xda, and i'll say its pretty much bricked, if you can't turn it on or get into the bootloader or recovery tmobile/wind/htc wouldn't be able to, other people with the same issue said they got it replaced with no problems, so you got nothing to worry about
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
Buy a new battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
OMG another one :eek:

Its not bricked dude, its a battery failure. See my thread, I've got the same issue, its solved by replacing the batttery..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1561104

You can call up HTC North America support@ 866-449-8358 if you are in US, they will ship you the battery free of cost.

When I called them up they asked me to ship the phone back, however I had also had unlocked the bootloader voiding the warranty, so I took a chance and told them I tested the phone at local tmo center it works with replacement battery (even though I hadn't)...they said no need to ship the phone then...we'll have the battery sent out to you...and it arrived in 3 business later although I had to wait quite long as there was weekend in between...

BTW what ROM/Kernel/recovery combo were you using before it died ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
If it's the same setup that you and my buddy had... Then I think we may have found a culprit... Just hoping its not :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
We can't blame NRGZ's ROM for it, as its the most popular ROM for this phone and to my knowledge just the ROM can't cause such a bug, the kernel might (even i'm not sure for that but still)...can any devs (Adjust? ) give their opinion on it ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Lol he just started doin roms recently i dont think hes going to be able to tell u anything. And no ones blaming nrgz rom. I think the belief is that its one of the recovery's

Why would you use colckwork over 4EXT? (or the other way around)

just confused.

Thanks A.J.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Both do the same thing really most roms come with one and that's what I use what ever installed last
[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
One thing that 4EXT has that'd better right now is the ability to make a list of zips to flash. That way I can flash my rom, the kernel of choice and any mods I like and have it done all at once by itself.

That feature alone is why I keep it.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Well I like the ability to theme and customize 4ext. Plus the app 4EXT Recovery Control can really hold it's own against ROM Manager. The fact that 4ext displays your battery status plus all the other information it shows you. And even the none touch version just felt like ass much better custom recovery, hope no one is offended by that.
[HTC Sensation] iG0d:
I like working with clockwork better but 4EXT gives you a few more options.
[HTC Sensation] nmnikolov:
It's easier to user the touchscreen rather then volume and power buttons.
[HTC Sensation] SmokyM79:
4ext, like people have already said, the ability to flash everything in one go and like the fact you can customise it.

Anybody know how to disable My Info screen in WM6.5 when turned power on ?

I want to keep Owner Info to register some software however everytime it appears on screen at start up. How can we disable it? anybody know key in registry related to this screen ?, In WM6.1 under Owner Info it has Option tab but in WM6.5 nothing to set.
[Omnia II General] coolpixs4:
Thanks GOD..........

After few days, I have found the solution to show and/or disable the My Info screen at power up before lockscreen or normal screen show up.

Thanks to this Blog http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7498413&postID=1731934624225103946

this trick apply to WM6.5.x only

Under Registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner

Open key [Owner] and [Owner notes] under Binary [ 00 00 00 ..... 00 00 ]

check the last 2nd bit, and

- set to 00 => to disable My Info screen (it is same as set Identification under Option Tab of Owner Information in WM6 or WM6.1)

- set to 01 or 08 in order to show up My Info at startup or power up screen before Lockscreen.

What's your config?

I'm running Smooth Ice 1.5 with kernel from mohan_kr.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

I backed /system/bin/thermald up and deleted it. I think somethings missing from the kernel that reads the sensor. Log messages are gone now...we'll see what this does. :confused:

e.g. No thermal zone device found in the kernel for sensor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theHOTNESS:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theHOTNESS:
yeah so apparently

"PM8058™ power management IC" is used in Qualcomm chips. some sort of power management thing.

ens_tz_sensor0

seems to be the root of the problem, we either dont have the sensor or the kernels not setting it up correctly. my guess is the sensors are declared somewhere so thermaldaemon is trying to monitor them but were missing some files in /sys/devices/virtual/thermal or somewhere else in the kernel

It may say you need a plugin,if it does just wait about 15 seconds.sorry if someone all ready found a better way.You don't need flash because it uses HTML 5.

If this does not work then go to m.youtube.com then pick a video then go to desktop mode

[HTC Inspire 4G] bibleguy125:
My phone takes a solid 5 minutes to start up. Is this normal on the Inspire? My dad has a different model HTC and it only takes a few seconds.

Would rooting and installing a different ROM help this?

Would that also help with battery life? Mine is awful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Are you on stock? The inspire should not take that long to boot. Maybe 3 mins
[HTC Inspire 4G] bibleguy125:
Yes, it is bone stock. I've had it since. Sept and am considering rooting now. 3 min is still a long time, is that normal?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
a fresh boot depending on how many apps you have, the class of your micro sd card and how much media it has to scan can take up to 3 min.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
If your Dad's phone only takes a few seconds then most likely it is not off but rather in hibernation or suspended. 3 minutes is about right for one that is completely off. Mine is rooted and still takes that long.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I'm running aospX with boot animatin off. It's the only ROM I've seen take <3mins for a full boot, TBH.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
A factory reset would probably be healthy for your phone at this point. I would give that a try. As far as your dad having a different phone than you, dont compare apples and oranges as it will never give you a happy feeling :) Ya I would personally just wipe it and start fresh, i have such a bad rom addiction so i never get clutter, never goes more than a couple weeks without being wiped lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bibleguy125:
Okay, how about battery life? Will rooting and installing a custom Rom help that? The only way I make it through the day is if I have the juice defender app on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Depending on the from yes. AOSP is great for batteries. But you give up Sense and everything that comes along with it. Custom Roma tend to do better on battery but it will mostly depend on how you use and set up your device. Apps and Widgets use a lot of battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] djthebogan:
The display is the only thing draining my battery on cm7. I recommend the 7.2 rc1 build. Very fast, smooth, stable, good looks too.

[HTC Sensation] twilightvanquisher:
I'm running opensensation cm9 (latest version). the last few builds have been hell on my battery, on a full charge im getting 5 hours with no wifi bluetooth and so forth. my phone like overheated today and took forever to finally boot back up. someone mentioned switching kernels, idk anything about how that works or which ones are safe to use on which roms. any help would be nice. thanks.
[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
Installing a kernel is done the same way you flashed the rom. Flash the zip file in your recovery.

I think your choices right now are either stock opensense kernel or faux's cm9/aosp kernel. Also, I don't think developers release kernels dangerous for your phone. Worst case scenario your phone gets stuck in a bootloop and you have to go back to stock kernel or reflash your rom.

Just keep in mind that a rom like that which is in alpha stage will have bugs that won't be fixed by just switching kernels. Luckily Vorbeth has been working nonstop on Opensense. One would think he was getting paid to dev.. Lol
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I don't really recommend switching kernels since Vorbeth has done kernel-level fixes for OpenSensation. Flashing a different kernel has a good chance of breaking something in the ROM...until the wake lock issue is figured out, I suggest using a stable Sense ROM like Android Revolution HD or Virtuous Inquisition if you still want the ICS AOSP look.
