[myTouch 4G General] cleila:
Thank you so much! Foil method worked perfectly when I thought my phone was doomed.

My phone would not turn on after I dropped it on a hard floor for at least the hundredth time (Silly name aside, I LOVE this phone for its durability and the fact that I bought it almost 2 years ago and its features are still on par with most phones out there!!). I had almost bought a new phone earlier in the day before trying one last time to find a solution online. I am so glad I found this post!

I used the foil method, although I didn't have a torx 5 handy, I was able to safely pry the frame apart enough to access the power button and put some foil on it. I am pretty sure I lost the spring before I even attempted the fix. There was also a small amber plastic square with a small metal bump in the center covering the switch poles - seemed like it might have once had to do with powering on the phone, but I took it out and now the phone powers on fine with the foil.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING!!!

I lost it. I asked him for it again and he sent it..but it don't work for me now. However if u email madmaxx82.. tell him what u want, I'm almost positive he will oblige. He a really cool dude. I've since put foil under my button and its working great.

I bought the MT4G used so I just want to confirm, is there only one "void" sticker located beneath the micro SD card slot? Thanks
[myTouch 4G General] Kevinthebox:
yes, should only be one. Sorry for the late reply!

Thank you so much!! I thought that was the end of my phone...but good thing I had it rooted and guess I had left on ADB was able to install ADB on my laptop and recover my phone!!! Just have to make sure it's always charged :D
[myTouch 4G General] tuxkamen:
Since I had to do this for myself last month, I thought I'd throw in a couple of little things I gathered from the process.

- My symptoms were that my power button would not 'register'. It had less feedback and gradually grew harder and harder to activate until eventually I couldn't get it to work at all. Other than a couple of small drops, I hadn't put it under any serious stress. I did the cable-boot thing for a while (in combination with a sleep button app), but eventually got tired of it and decided to pop the case open.

- You absolutely need a T5 screwdriver, and they can be a little tricky to find (many driver sets don't go down past T7). Home Depot has a generic driver set that does include a T5 bit. The safe-pry tool is optional (you can use a small, flat screwdriver head if you are _careful_).

- My phone was never serviced, so the third T5 mentioned in the guide is under the VOID sticker at the bottom of the back. Once you take those three screws out, you can use your fingertips to make a gap between the front bevel and the rubber, then pry _gently_ to loosen the clips.

- Once you have released all the clips, the construction of the power button assembly looks like this:

Button -> piece of film -> metal disc (this is the 'spring' mentioned in the guide) -> ring-shaped contact on body

In my case, the film and disc had somehow slipped off-center, making it so that I couldn't make it hit the contacts. In this case, all I had to do was line everything back up again (film over button, disc over contact with concave-ish end facing the contact so it 'springs') and carefully clip it all back together. Now my power button works like it did on day one. Obviously this fix won't work if you actually have a flex cable break, but I have a feeling that most people who don't throw their phones around may have this sort of slippage occurring over time, and the fix might be simpler than you think*!

Thanks for the input!
[myTouch 4G General] Fas1h:
I bought a used sensation 4g week or so back. Opened the cover, something fell off, I didn't pay much attention and lost it. By the time I realised it was the spring, it was too late :( using a light sensor software at the moment to lock/unlock the device.

Is the foil method for the above issue? How can the foil create the spring effect. Hmm I guess I'll have to try out for myself though the sensor is working fine too :) but this post gives some hope.

When I installed on my G2 it instructed me to enter proxy settings. It would then only let me use it on a mobile network and not wifi. It didn't connect most of the time. When I uninstalled, it apparently did not remove the proxy information. I could not browse the internet for 2 days on mobile, only wifi. I finally downloaded Proxy Settings app so I could remove the information and browse again.
[Android Apps and Games] HotspotShield:
Sorry for inconvenience

fied1k, we are working on our service. Sometimes our servers can be unreachable, but not all the time.

We know that some firmwares contain "broken" VPN implementation (main reason: carrier/vendor changes). We are providing secured IPSEC connection. Most part of VPN clients for Android provide unsecured PPTP connection with disabled encryption.

We are working on this issue.

Proxy is the fallback for you if we can't use VPN on your device. But unfortunately now it can work only in 3G/4G. Or you can use Opera Mobile/Firefox where you can configure proxy settings.

In latest version, if you are using proxy, you can uninstall application from itself. You will see "Uninstall" button on the app main screen.

BTW if you re-install app and if it detects that you have changed proxy settings - it will asks you to erase it.

I don't want a new ROM, rather a temporary root method
[Kindle Fire General] MLS_Dumpster:
I would reccomend using a tenporary root such as burrito root or zergrush. Go o youtube and there are many videos on rooting the kindle in such a way. I wouldnt trust kfu too much. Even software can make mistakes.
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
Does burrito root support stock 6.3?
[Kindle Fire General] MLS_Dumpster:
Idk about burritoroot 3... it could. Id check it out first. I know burrito root was used to root 6.2.2 as well, whether it was updated or not i do not know. Zerg works. There is a thread on xda as well.
[Kindle Fire General] anantshri:
do a permanent root using 6.3 root method once you are done with root work just remove su binary from /system/bin/ and superuser.apk from /system/app

all done

i prefer OTA unrooter.

or just rename su to su2 or something else

this will make everything (every app) think that you don't have root.
[Kindle Fire General] knopv:
For 6.2 I used burrito root, but after the update to 6.3 I used the KFU. After you have installed the Google Market or Play, you can use Voodoo OTA to unroot your KF and watch instant video on Amazon. Look for nat3mil on you tube. He shows how it's done.

[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
I find it sad that HTC is giving up on 3d. Yes it was a toy, but one I paid for. They never really got behind the phone. They had that one terrible bubble 3d movie, but that was it. I thought we would at least see a 3d gallery.

Heck we are not even going to see the full blown HTC evo lte. Where is our new quad processor, that our oversees HTC brothers and sisters are getting?

There was never even any 4G in my city (one of the largest in South Florida) and I'm sure we are 2-3 years from lte ever being turned on. So thanks sprint and HTC. What a bad partnership it turned out to be for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
Do some research on the quad vs the krait
[HTC EVO 3D] dangerruss:
Tegra doesn't play nice with LTE or cmda can't remember that's why we aren't getting the tegra chipset.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol I am in TN and don't have 4G never have.. So I have the same feeling about LTE and that 10 dollar fee thing is kinda a joke.. Would be nice if Sprint would let us trade in our phones and get a sweet deal on a LTE one since our phones will be outta date soon .. Kinda bummer too all the folks who jumped into another 2 years and will be stuck with a older phone if no one knew that LTE was coming .. Lol.

Along with HTC ICS for the 3D will probably never see any more updates since they are coming out with that new Evo phone.. My guess is the 3D will be dropped on the **** list lol. Seen 3 new LTE phones on Sprints site for pre order.. Anyway's I will be stickin with the 3D for another year :D But hopefully things will still be poppin over in the threads :D
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
Nice to know I guess. Still sucks to get a scaled down phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kazp3r17:
Yea I wish they would give us all some sort of trade in swap since we all are gonna have incompatible phones. I was 1of those who signed for a new 2 year because my evo 4G Gave out on me :( in nov.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I signed in DEC this past year lol. Didn't know about the LTE thing.. Since Sprint never seems to stick on top of things lol Like 4G never rolled out as fast as they kept saying back in the day..

Would be nice if they gave us a sweet trade in deal since they kinda swapped around on the contract with LTE and dropping support on the older ones.. Kinda sucks since we can't sell our phones to make some profit to buy something new .. Due to LTE ...

I guess you and I will be stickin to the threads for awhile lol :D
[HTC EVO 3D] decayer177:
When LTE comes out (either frequency), don't expect the 4G on your WiMAX phones not to work. Sprint plans on keeping WiMAX around (except no more new phones) for legacy phones still running the technology. For a good bit of time at least, until a majority moves to LTE.

to be honest both the evo 3d and sensation have enoumous potential that is yet to be unleashed. with the ice cream sandwhich update the sensation is about 50% faster especially gpu performance. the evo 3d and sensation however were fails for htc and it is evident as they are really cheap to buy now whether outright or plan.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Who says they are giving up on it?

The gallery does work in 3d.....

Huh? One, what does this have to do with the 3d? And two, the Sprint version is about twice as good as the normal Evo X.

As others have stated, the dual core in this phone does as good, if not better, than the quad...

Nobody forced you to buy a Sprint Wimax phone. You can easily switch to Verizon if you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
Well, thanks Mr. Sitlet. There is always one in the crowd who goes against everything the thread is about.

I'm happy you're happy. I can now rest peacfully.

It's all good man... Post isn't bad.. I understand what your post is about :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
well dan hasse said someone that that 10 fee was premium data free, knowing that our fones use up more data and if that fee wasn't instituted that we probably would be on a tier data plan now. as for the wimax it will be up thru 2015. It does suck, as Detroit only has 4g downtown, like 4sq miles or less lolz. But how many of us actually bought the fone thinking that wimax was the future or did we just want the new next hyped fone, that had 3d and good specs. Their not gonna do a trade in thing cuz there will always be a new big fone.... I really feel more sorry for ppl that got this fone thinking they will qualify for gold membership and have an upgrade every year, though I've heard many ppl argue just that and actually get a upgrade back... soo yawl can try that...
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Thought sprint stop that gold thing.. I was one for awhile until they stopped it :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
they did stop it but they didn't stop it before ppl got the evo 3d but they canceled it before the gold membership period and left ppl stuck, kinda, but like I said I've heard ppl argue that and get an upgrade
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Well hopefully it works for some folks :D I am not going that route will just lurk the 3D threads.. Keep some roms flowing :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
honestly I wouldn't be in such a rush to get the Evo One but my 3d phone, ppl can't barely hear me, they say I sound muffled at times, and I know it's the fone :-( I just love the fact of having a fone everyone can hear me on again!
[HTC EVO 3D] mrshades812:
Well, I am gonna nab the new evo for sure! Coming from an Evo 3d, that was a pain for devs to root, the new one will be much easier to work with.

As far as LTE, I'm not holding my breath... in Vegas I can't even find a date for launch. I'm guessing late 2013? Also, they call the $10 fee a smartphone fee now. Go figure?
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
just being devils advocate but how do u know that it will be easier to root :-P

Lol it could be your mic is messing up.. I would get it swapped out that part :D

By the way rooting the 3d wasnt hard it was as easy as flashing a zip from recovery.....

Do some research ,# of cores doesnt matter in performance........ Google "tegra3 vs s4/krait"

Same goes with mega pixels

I completely forgot about this side effect. I used to think it was a rom issue, before I got a few more for $49. This phone came out while HTC was pumping and dumping phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
That $10 was originally for 4G phones, but soon they had to charge everyone that fee to avoid a class action.

Why don't you take it in and have it fixed? This doesn't sound like a widespread issue, sounds like you have an issue with your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
This phone hasn't been treated worse than any other phone. The Vivid is the only officially updated HTC device in the States. It's not like they've abandoned us. They never planned to create 3D content, they just made the phone and expected us as users and developers to do that.

This phone will get ICS and probably nothing more, but the Rezound, Vivid, and Sensation will get the exact same treatment. We're not victims of some scheme to screw us all over.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Probably already addressed as I have not read through all the pages so excuse me if it has, but the Snapdragon S4 Krait is not a scaled down, downgrade, or otherwise inferior to the Tegra quad-core. This opinion is wrong and possibly formed on bad info. Tegra chipset does not have LTE radio on the SoC and qualcomm does. Do some research as mentioned earlier and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what the EVO LTE will offer. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] xchan21:

[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
I was thinking about it but 2 things, I don't feel like relocking the fone, or having to unlock a hboot 1.5 and Its not bad enuff that I can't deal with it another month or so. Once I get my EVo One I will be happy and someone else can have this 3d and otter box, if it sounds bad to them they can get it replaced....
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
No, but pixels tied to pixel density and sensor quality does, just as number of cores tied to core speed and software written for it/os integration does. So yes there is a possible downside. Now I'm not familiar with that particular core, so I could be wrong, but I could be right.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
yes, this is cortex a9 quad vs a15 dual......if you compare Same type of processor with different number of cores then processor with more cores will win obviously......
[HTC EVO 3D] Nanan00:
Sprint just took out the Wimax tower by my girlfriends house last month, it was live for maybe 6 months and now I don't even get a bad signal, just none.

I'm running an older version of virus rom (latest batch is unstable) and it flies on stock kernel. My battery alone can last two days.

So yes, I think this phone can be much more than it is.

Making the switch from stock rom to virus eternity has improved the voice quality a bit.

Wouldn't a laser melt the plastic back of the GNEX? Serious question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
It can if too much power is applied. In this case no. It just etches the surface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pommes_Schranke:
The most important part is not the amount of power (or pulse energy) but the pulse duration (you use pulsed lasers for this kind of stuff). If the pulse duration is shorter or almost as short as the heat transfer duration between the atoms/molecules, melting is not a problem any more.

The pulse is "gone" before the heat can effect the nearby matter. You will get really sharp edges.
