[HTC EVO 3D] bkertz:
Is anyone else running into heat issues with ICS ROMs? I recently did the downgrade method and I am S-OFF 1.40. I flashed an ICS ROM and I've noticed poorer battery life, but also my phone gets extremely hot if used for extended periods of time (an hour plus). It seems to only be when I'm on a 3G connection and not when on WIFI or 4G. I've noticed the heat is coming from the top half of the phone and not the battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Interesting. I've noticed the opposite-my phone runs cooler and has longer battery. Since the phone is running warm, it sounds like a runaway process or app that is taxing the CPU and draining the battery. You could try Watchdog to monitor for runaway apps. Also, try BetterBatteryMonitor or some other app that tells you what is draining your battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] bkertz:
Thanks. I'll give those a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] bkertz:
Apparently the culprit was Dolphin Browser. I guess the new update that I downloaded around the same time I rooted and flashed ICS is causing the battery drain. Time to look for a new browser.
[HTC EVO 3D] darkqueeny:
Try Dolphin Mini :) and with a CPU frequency switcher, you can specifically choose how your processor will behave.
[HTC Rezound] biscuitgod:
Just decided to root my Rezound mostly because of the need for wireless tether. I'm fairly new to this method of rooting, but have rooted an HTC EVO 4G about a year ago and that went much smoother. After trying to figure out the order of things (which i'm not sure i did correctly), I finally started the process I followed which i've outlined below. I successfully rooted, but once i updated to the most recent RUU (3.14.605.5) and semi-successfully S-OFF (i'll explain below), i noticed that i no longer have root access. Tried to re-root, but nothing has worked... Anything i can do??

Here is the process I took (mainly tried to follow this a playlist on youtube i found - sorry can't post a URL):

1. Unlocked Bootloader via HTCDev

2. Tried to perform root with OneClickRoot 1.1, this didn't work.

3. Googled other ways to root the rezound

4. Found rEZoundRoot 1.5 - Tried it and obtained root.

5. Updated SuperUser app, verified root access worked

6. Installed clockwork touch recovery as per the video playlist above

7. At this point i kept reading about all the ICS ROMs out there and decided that's what i was going to update. Noticed that it looked just easier to update the firmware and S-OFF before putting a custom ROM on

8. downloaded the RUU 3.14.605.5. and flashed to phone.

9. during this process i had to relock the bootloader, so i had to unlock again.

10. The RUU also updated firmware

11. Followed the S-OFF directions by running ControlBear for 3.14.605.5

12. Here's where it gets weird. First of all it took me about 10 times to get the wire trick down. but once i finally did, the phone jacked up? along the way (not sure what happened, but there was a picture of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it). By the time this showed up, ControlBear had timed out. I then pulled battery and restarted. checked bootloader and it's showing S-OFF now. Fully booted phone and it started just fine. Figured everything was OK and continued on

13. After the phone booted i noticed superuser was no longer installed (since the RUU update) I redownloaded. Tried to update, and that's where it failed gaining root access. I then tried to re-root with rEZoundRoot 1.5 and that didn't work (still no root access). Then tried with OneClickRoot 1.1, this time it did much more than the first time, appearing to work. Phone rebooted but still no root.

This is now where i'm at... Stuck with S-OFF and RUU 3.14.605.5 and NO ROOT. Anyone have any ideas??

This is what my hboot says:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.25.0000

RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r

OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104

eMMC-boot

Apr 12 2012, 16:47:46

The "TAMPERED" was never there until one of the final steps above. Not sure if that has something to do with it or not.

Basically all i want to do is have rooted phone with the newest firmware and S-OFF. Then apply any custom ROMs from there as I see fit.

If anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
There are stock rooted versions of the leak, it would be easiest to just flash one on your phone. Scott has them posted and the PKMN Team for Sense 4.0 is amazing!

If you really want to root it yourself first (which isn't necessary) you could use Amon Ra install SU, and flatest binaries zip for SU. That's what I did at first so I could take a stab at customizing and designing.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
When you flashed the RUU, you lost root and should have rerooted before running the controlbear. The controlbear requires root and maybe that is what led to your problem. I s-offed first and then updated the firmware. I then had to flash Amon-RA recovery in a PH98IMG file and install SU (through the recovery's advanced menu) to regain root. Finally was able to flash the ROM of my choice.
[HTC Rezound] biscuitgod:
Thanks for the replies! I actually found a fix LATE last night which worked great. I would've posted the URLs for reference, but I can't... So here's a snipit of that post:

Following all of that seemed to work in my case, but now seeing what TopGun wrote, I just had the order of things wrong... Good to know for next time and just happy I got it taken care of!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

ive tried doing the tutorial at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425 but to no avail have got it to work i keep getting stuck at step 5 where im checking my sbk number but whenever i type the commands into cmd it says nvflaSH is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file??? sorry cant figure it out i have all the acer drives installed and all files needed :( any help would be appreciated :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sounds like either you're not in the correct directory with your CMD window, or you didn't extract the files properly. Try extracting them again to a folder on your c: then open a cmd window there. Nvflash is really a simple app. Also, make sure you are in apx mode. Should see a icon in windows task bar, or you can check device manager.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
A little tip, do search for cmd.exe on your pc, and then copy it to the folder where you would like to use it. Much easier than cd (change directory) or any other way that I know short of adding it to your right click menu. I keep a copy of it on my desktop so I can copy/paste it anywhere that I need it.
[Acer Iconia A500] strongergravity:
Make sure you installed the Acer drivers. At first I didn't b/c I had working ADB. You need those Acer drivers for the APX driver in there. I wasted an hour or two on that one!
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
I've tried that even tried a reinstall I'm pretty sure I'm typing in the commands wrong or when it says open cmd on V6-Unlocked-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-CWM folder I'm not sure does that mean just open up cmd and input that directory and then the commands or what?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Connect tablet to pc, make sure you are in apx mode , open the folder V6-unlocked.......... and click on the .bat that you want to run. It should start , no need to open cmd on the folder .
[Acer Iconia A500] tigermrk:
I got stuck but in different way altogether.

if you don't mind going back to 3.2.1 for a few minutes then I suggest doing that. it also installed CWM to which you can install your chosen ROM.

then after this you could just use blackthunders apx tool to flash your chosen bootloader.

I know your problem is totally different to mine and looks like you are just not in the right directory while trying to use nvflash but the way I suggest was very easy and works.

I cant post links right now but if you look in the thread for unlocking bootloader then I posted a link which should help you do it this way. its on page 47.

hope u get it sorted I spent many hours yesterday always getting stuck at various points but after many hours found an easier way.

cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Sweet I'll try civatos way then if that doesn't work I'll give it a shot I'm still on honeycomb boot loader so why not ;-) thnx again for the help......how does black thunders tool work sorry for incompetence I thought I knew about tech :'( any help would be appreciated
[Acer Iconia A500] tigermrk:
its basically GUI program which installs a bootloader of your choice in a few clicks.

of course u dont need the ICS bootloader if you were to choose to install FLEXREAPER rom after going through my method.

just install it by the recovery menu after going back to 3.2.1.

cheers

EDIT: If your already on the honeycomb bootlaoder (just noticed) you should be able to do it pretty easy and civatos way will work fine
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Dug up this old threaad because i didnt feel the need to create a new one and still never solved this :/ no matter what i do it seems i get stuck at entering downoad mode it enters apx mode fine but wont enter download mode im on ics locked bootloader and have tried uninstall reinstall of drivers multiple times also tried switching pc's. Is there any preferred os to do this on? and does 64 bit vs 32bit matter?

Edit.....nevermind guys tried on a whole different comp and worked fine

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
Last week, my Hero suddenly stopped being able to see my home network. All the other networks around me are visible, but not my home network. I tried the Wi-Fi FXR app on the market, but that didn't work at all. Did a full wipe and installed a fresh new ROM, and I *still* can't see my network. Even manually entering the info for it did nothing.

I can connect to other networks on my Hero, and all my other devices at home can see and connect to my network perfectly fine. Does anybody have any idea what else I can try? Having tried a different ROM and a full wipe of everything, I'm at a loss now.

Edit: Tried actually *formatting* system/data/cache, then installing a different ROM (CM6 this time). Still no luck. My home network never shows up on the list, but all others do. Rebooted my modem and router, even changed the security to just WEP (was WPA2 before, which worked just fine before this randomly happened). I can't understand how, without doing anything, my Hero just suddenly refuses to see my wireless network. It can't just suddenly be incompatible with my router after working just fine with dozens of ROMs and a couple years under their belt.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoshotjr2006:
i feel your pain

when i turn on wifi on my hero, no matter what rom it is, i can see all the other access points right away. but my ssid wont pop up, i have to wait a good 3 minutes until it pops up and connects. have you tried waiting longer for it to show up? worth a shot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
I tried letting it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. I'll let it sit next to my router for a longer time and see if that does anything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
I let it sit for a few hours, but nothing popped up. Tried a few hours with and without the network being manually saved for connecting to. Definitely something odd going on here. Also tried connecting to other networks to see if maybe it'd do something, but that didn't make my home network show up either. I'm at a dead-end here, and I assume the lack of replies means nobody else has any other ideas either... lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoshotjr2006:
the only thing i can tell you is ruu that sucker, usually when something goes haywire stock will fix it. hope you get it working, sounds like a major pain

edit: if your up to it, flash a stock rom from clockworkmod recovery and try it before going the ruu route, its worth a shot. i see you tried cyanogenmod, couldnt hurt to try a stock rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamesoul Master:
Thanks, I forgot about that. After so many Android phones, I start to forget which tricks fix which phones... lol. Currently I'm used to "Superwipe your phone if anything goes wrong". Unfortunately, I know of no such thing for the Hero.

But running an RUU is a great idea, and I should've thought of it. I'll be doing that out as soon as I get off work :)

Edit: Just installed an official RUU successfully, but... still can't find my wireless network. Seriously... I have no idea how that couldn't work. The router is fine, the phone is fine, and they've communicated with each other just fine for the last two years. Nothing has changed for this to happen. For as complete a wipe as installing an RUU does, this just doesn't make any sense.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Try changing your router to chanel 11. Then in your hero WiFi settings make sure its on 11 as well. See if that helps.

Did you ever figure this out?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Got my 2 Ankers about 2 weeks ago, went through few charge/discharge cycles.

All 3 batteries I have now last very different time, thus the question:

Stock: 3.8V 1730mAh

Anker: 3.7V 1900mAh

Obviously, you need to recalibrate battery if you want to swap them every time and have right reading. Even batteries of the same type may have different discharge curve and it changes with age.

If we want to know how much charge is left, we need to calibrate each battery, than use the battery with its own profile.

Question (easy one):

What apk do you use to switch battery calibration profiles?

Does anybody use Mugen Power Battery Callibration Tool?

Slight wrinkle - is does require root. I guess, all others would need it too, unless it comes from manufacturer. :o

Obviously, you can reset calibration profile every time you swap it, but it kinda… well… you know ;-)

To mod: Sorry, not sure where it’s better to ask. Most of the battery related questions are here…

The reason for 1280x1280 as opposed to the SG3's screen resolution of 1280x720, is that it then allows for scrolling wallpaper on homescreen or elsewhere.
