[HTC EVO 3D] G4m3rHead:
Whats up?

Recently i started having a problem with my EVO 3D, it started out with a mere extra character insertion every time i was typing a message.

It now evolved to the point where the phone is almost unusable, as i cant get to anything without a hustle. It wont recognize my inputs, it makes its own decisions, even having hard time pulling the ring up to access my home screen!

I have used an app called "Check My Android" its a utility tool that lets you test the phones functionality in various areas, such as (the one I was most interested in) "Multi Touch"

It allowed me to point on the screen, highlighting the contact between my finger and the screen. As i move around, and approach the upper left corner, it mysteriously adds another contact point in the dead bottom middle.

Another method i used to check the Input recognition is calling up *#*#3424#*#* and running the "Line Drawing Test" Now this one draws lines as you move around on the screen, the interesting part is that when i get to the area of the screen (Upper left corner -ish) and draw circles, it instantly draws straight lines to the bottom middle, as that spot get an extra input when hitting the upper left one. :S

So I did do, on the advice of HTC's Online Chat "Kristine" a "Touch Input Data Clear", a "Sense Data Clear", a "Hard Reset" (Without backing up anything) :(

But all i ended up with is a **** load of Data loss and the problem persists!

I would try and Root, load a custom ROM, but if that doesn't fixes it, I'll mess up my warranty probably... Not that i can find my receipt anyways... :/

So what am i to do here ?!

Are any of you facing this problem, is it hardware or software?

[UPDATE] After the Hard Reset, the upper left corner remains faulty, but now also the entire bottom region where HTC has their "App Drawer, Phone, Personalize" buttons are non responsive for periods of time!
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
It happens to me too, but it only happens to me when I'm not grounded. For example, when I'm standing on the ground, it's fine. But when I'm on my forklift, it messes up.

I think the only solution is to have Sprint crack it open and look for a ground fault.

[HTC EVO 3D] G4m3rHead:
Yah well, for me, it kinda did it all the time weather i was grounded or not..

and i cant really have Sprint take a look at it since I'm on the other side of the Atlantic hehe :)

But i did hand it in for repairs at the vendor where i bought it, I'll know what it was screwing it up in like 8 days..

Let me start with these http://www.trustedreviews.com/Shure-SE210-Noise-Isolating-Earphones_Portable-Audio_review

This thread is geared towards the MW600, Jabra headsets, etc

I'm sure that there are other units out there with this functionality.

Let's keep the discussion limited to headphones with cords 60 cm or less.

I'm looking forward to hearing your experiences

Hi!

I've mistakenly removed FastDormancy.apk from my /system/app folder when I was removing the Facebook apps from my LT15i (.42 stock ROM).

First, what's that app about? Is that important?

Second: please, someone could give me the .apk (for the .42 version, if that matters), so that I can set it again in place (specially if it's important!)

Thanks to all!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachordez:
No one can send me the .apk? By now it doesn't seem to disturb for not been, but...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papanik:
ICS .apk

Here is the ICS .562 FastDormancy.apk. I believe this should work. Just reboot after placing it to system/app/ (permissions r-w-r-r)

(I have seen you have .42 but most apps from .562 work) ;)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltno:
I have been reading through threads such as guide, for my rom, each tool i need to install and others but i cant seem to put together the full process for someone new to this

From what i understand I need to first install adb drivers , hookup new tablet to pc then install fastboot and then root by using this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568340&highlight=twrp

which will automatically install firefirefire and twrp just by having files and once it boots backup i will have option to install my rom BUT i have to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM

I need to place all my files in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools if I install there?

Would appreciate if someone can take the time to help me, as im getting overwhelmed with process, I will gather information and summarize it when im successful to help others in the future as newb as me.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Don't bother with all that complicated stuff. Use the Kindle Fire Utility(KFU) to root your Kindle and install TWRP. Then just flash your ROM using the directions in the Energy thread.

KFU Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

And also here is a step-by-step guide for rooting: http://liliputing.com/2012/05/how-to-root-a-kindle-fire-with-software-version-6-3-1.html
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
First, install your drivers using the guide posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2

You don't actually install fastboot, it's a command line program with a special set of commands to be used in Fastboot mode. For more information on bootmodes and just about everything else read this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547

Using the method from the thread you posted, FireFireFire and TWRP are installed manually through the command line with fastboot.

When using the command line interface for adb and fastboot, those files need to be in your present working directory. In Windows you need to shift+right click on the SDK platform-tools folder containing adb and fastboot (you may need to put fastboot in that folder) and find the selection that says something like "Run as a command" or "Run from Command Prompt".

Items like TWRP, and FireFireFire should also be in your present working directory (in your case it would be the platform-tools folder) to make everything simple.

When installing a new rom from inside TWRP it is always best to perform a factory reset (wipe data), wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache. Failure to to so can cause problems (unless its a minor update to an existing rom).

Also, to avoid jerks like me from reading you the Riot Act when you have a problem, first research the problem and get an understanding of what your exact problem is. Then, if you still need help, post your question and include what your exact problem is, how you arrived at that problem and what steps you have taken to try and fix it. Simply stating you need help and listing a generalized symptom with no other information will most likely not get the response you need or want.

Good Luck

Although this method makes it easy, it doesn't help you when you run into problems...and you will run into problems. Do the research first and learn how programs like the KFU work and the rooting process in general before using them.

Also it should be noted that if you just want a custom rom installed, there's no need to go through the actual "rooting" process. Just install FFF and TWRP and move the rom you want flashed onto your sdcard.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filslave:
I'm pretty new to this too. What I did was use the KFU to install TWRP, CWM and FFF. For some reason I could only boot into CWM which was fine for the first ROM I installed, but for the Energy 4/29 ROM it must be installed from TWRP.

To boot into TWRP I had to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500935

My advice is to read everything at least three time before you do it. If you have a problem read the threads because most likely someone else had the same problem.

When I first flashed the 4/29 ROM I was stuck in the boot animation and it would never load. I flashed it again and wiped the cache afterward and then ran fix permissions and it worked.

Goodluck!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltno:
Thanks for the help everyone, I read through explanations again and I then installed drivers following instructions, then used kfu to install fff and TWRP, i placed downloaded ROM on kindle drive. did factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache(forgot to do wipe system) flashed rom, and got stuck on animation screen. I wiped those 3 again and flashed and still got stuck. So next time all i did is factory reset and this time it booted up just fine! What a bargain to have this thing running ics. I've ran into a couple bugs i read on rom post. It doesnt turn off through system shut off, you have to hold power down to do so for 10 secs. Sometimes it wouldnt start so you have to hold down power 20-30 secs let go and then press power again. Light doesnt light up while charging either(I dont know if this one is particular to me)

One thing Im not sure of though is on ROM post it says I must be rooted, and i see mentions here that rooting isnt needed, everything installed fine without me selecting root from kfu though??

Also i never backed up stock install on twrp!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Custom roms are pre rooted so there is no need root in the first place if that's the route you decide to take. Rooting is only necessary if you only intend to stay stock and even then, flashing a rom like MoDaCo will prevent you from having to root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altemene:
Is it possible to install a ROM update without lose all settings, apps and data ?

thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Yes, if it comes in the form of an "update.zip" created by the developer for that specific purpose.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filslave:
I know its been a long time since this post, but what I do is backup only "data" in TWRP. If you have the latest version you can do a backup and uncheck all other option and choose only "data". Once you flash the new ROM and boot up successfully, reboot into recovery and "restore" that backup and reboot. You'll have all of your apps and all of your settings, even browsing history.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chichibud31:
Would appreciate help in finding a way of increasing the sound from the phone speaker. The sound from my Raider 4G speaker is very low. Even when volume is set at it's highest the sound from the speaker is mediocre at best. As a result I only play music or other media using the htc headphones only. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] g33mt4z:
I do have a solution that boosts the volume, it's an app and its called: Volume+ I tried the free version and noticed nothing, then got the paid version and noticed a mild difference. I'm not trying to sell the app as I've got nothing to do with the dev, just saying that it worked for me :) btw, I'm on a HTC velocity with Kozmikkernal and rooted ICS (stable, fast holiday ICS)

EDIT:

Oops, sorry, the Rom that I'm on has Dolby in it, I think I turned that on when I got Volume+, just played around with Volume+ settings, and turned it off and on and didn't notice anything (whilst Dolby was turned off..) So to answer your question, the Dolby apk that came with the Rom will increase the speaker volume and headphones (there are those two options)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] condork464:
Hi there,

Just loaded the leaked ICS and rooted it. Now, does anyone know of a way to overclock? I just tried using Da_G's just for kicks...didn't work (as i figured would be the case).

Thanks to anyone who can help.

,Teddy B3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
We won't be able to overclock until Samsung releases kernel sources for ICS.

I'm guesstimating that kernel sources will come out a few months after our phones get an official ICS update.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarioGirotti:
Today I installed the CyanogenMod7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4 by following the guide in the DEV forum.

It seems that all setting I do in the settings menu are only applied after next reboot.

I.e. I turned off haptical feedback by unticking that option in the settings. After leaving and reentering the settings screen the option is still ticked and haptical feedback is still active. Only after next reboot it seem that the wanted settings are applied.

This applies to the normal settings as well as for the CM settings (in example when changing the layout in the status bar).

Does anyone know how to solved this issue ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Novastylez:
I've got no problems.

Did you wipe data etc before flashing? Because the author said, that you have to do this...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarioGirotti:
Yes I did a wipe as described in the install guide:

1. Βοοt into CWM5 Recovery

2. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik

3. format cache/data/system/sd-ext

4. flash MIRACLE V4.zip

5. reboot

6. almost done!

7. Finalize GPS configuration by following TURORIAL 6 or 7 - 2nd post.

8. Now it's done...enjoy!

I really like this ROM but this limitation is really anoying for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarioGirotti:
After reflashing the complete ROM again over my first install the problem is gone.

I want to exchange my black HTC one x for the white one. Will att charge me a restock fee?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
They shouldn't. You going to exchange in a local store? If so, give them a call and see what they say.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
They will. By doing that they are unable to sell one more phone.

but.....

Try saying something is wrong with it. Tell them the screen had a weird hue or something. you won't get charged then
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
yeah they will charge you a restocking fee.

one thing ive picked up from working in retail is use intermittent problems.

ex. the phone randomly reboots itself, ive tried master reseting, but its still doing it.

quite a few times ive seen peopel try the "colors a bit off" to have the employees tell them there is nothing wrong with that or trick them into believing it(even if the colors messed up)

at the same point kinda was your fault for not figuring out what color you wanted in the first place...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ricktat:
Also after you say it has the random reboot problem.... You can say you read on the internet that the grey ones come froma different factory from the white ones... White ones havent had that issue....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
lol i bought mine from radioshack online, would i be able to walk into the store and switch for a white one ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Hard to say.

Most of the time stores can only do like for like exchanges. Eg. the same color
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wpp105:
I say keep the black. The white gets ugly real quick when it's dirty
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
I was just about to say that lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kewlguru:
I have ordered through Radioshack

online. Would I be able to exchange the phone at a local att store if there is anything wrong with it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cloudraker:
I tried this with my LG Nitro when i ordered it. They wouldnt allow me to take it to AT&T because it wasnt purchased from them. What i had to do was return it to radio shack and wait 3 days for my upgrade to return back to my account. Then i could get it from AT&T.

Thank you for mirroring. tomorrows update will be on androidfilehost :)

I have to go to work but I realize that there is a lot that needs to be addressed with this such as camera and notification sounds along with some other things the next update will have much of these things worked out and there will be more stripped out with other features added. this is a work in progress i am no means a developer i am someone who likes to tinker with his phone alot and am just trying to share with the community.

[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
The issues they are talking about are from the firmware update that was posted. I've heard several people have flashed ics on the old firmware and had no problems. This rom won't hurt your phone, just do a nandroid if it doesn't work out.
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Cool, thnx for the response....Im s-off with hboot 1.40.1100..Im currently running a 2.17 rooted rom... I would just go ahead and flash as normal with no added steps and i should be ok , right ? Again thnx for your help :D:D:D

I did on the old firmware and had no problems what so ever!
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
