[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I say they are undocumented because I have not found any reference to them in the sensation user manual or on any of several android forums. All these were found and documented using ICS 4.03 so I don't know it they work on other versions, but it won't hurt to try.

The first is "Safe Mode" this is like safe mode on a windows PC. It loads the OS without loading any low level apps and allows one to load apps one at a time to see which is causing a problem.

Power off -> power on -> when the htc logo appears hold the volume down key down until the device completely boots. There will be a "Safe Mode" notification in the lower left of the screen.

The second is power on without touching the power on button. With the screen off touch the home screen icon and swipe to the search icon - and voila the screen comes on.

The Third is taking a screenshot in a new way. The normal method of taking a screenshot is to depress the power button then hit the home screen icon. The hidden function is to tap the search icon and swipe to the home screen icon - and voila a new screenshot.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Nope, what ROM/Kernel are you running?
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
I'm pretty sure the last two swipe features are not things that are present in a stock ROM, as they are features in a custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If the OP's signature is up to date, then they are running the stock ROM. Notice the quote below.
[HTC Sensation] ShAaShAy:
Even I tried the swiping gestures.. Had no luck though :confused:
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
well i managed to get my htc wildfire (buzz) into safemode before. so thats not new :D and the other 2 done work for me, arhd.
[HTC Sensation] grega_slo:
Known for a veeeeery long time....

This is kernel function, sleep2awake to be more precise.
[HTC Sensation] MrMrMr111:
I have a stock XE non rooted on v4.0.4. I tried the swipe functions and they don't work, would be cool though.

In UK on 3
[HTC Sensation] sahil04:
You can press both power button and volume down button for a screenshot too.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
Since no one else can duplicate those I guess they are due to the ROM I just flashed which is ARHD 1.1.0 T-Mobile US. I need to update my signature file.
[HTC Sensation] grega_slo:
sleep2wake is kernel function and has absolutley nothing to do with ROM.

Unless ROM uses kernel that has support for it...
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
ADHD comes with Faux's kernel which also supports sleep2wake by swiping your fingers across the buttons. So this is obviously a misunderstanding.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
That's pretty cool and nifty, especially the screenshot one. They all workes for me on leedroid.
[HTC Rezound] Jimi Mack:
I am "S-offed and "Unlocked" I would like to get it back to "Locked" for warranty needs. Is the best method to S-on and then S-off again to force it back to be 'Locked"? Or is there another method I have not come across, thanks.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Nah. that is the only known way to do so at this moment in time.

There was a "stealth boot" idea of simply editing the hboot text a while back, but it was dropped for user security/warranty fraud reasons.
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
There are 2 threads here that have that info I think. One of them was the "S-off FAQ" and I think the other one was " S-off we finally have it". If you search through those two threads I think you may find your answer. Also you might try #JuopunutBear Irc channel. They are pretty helpful if you ask nicely. :D

Hope that helps.

Edit: This thread may help as well.

back to "locked"

If you have s-off, you need to flash eng hboot. the next step is to run RUU.

I wanted to return my rezound so i reached "locked" this way.
[HTC Rezound] Jimi Mack:
Thanks, I just S-On and then S-off again and she is now locked.
[Focus General] Rgarrettpro:
I'll be using my Samsung Focus and all of a sudden, I'll see "slide down to power off" I slide up (of course) but the phone shuts off a few seconds later. When I try to turn it back on, the white SAMSUNG shows up for a few seconds then shuts back off then back on. It takes a few tries for me to actually get the phone on and working, but it always shuts down eventually. If anyone has experienced this problem and fixed it please let me know! I'm leaving for college very soon and need to get this fixed. Thanks!!! :confused:
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
We need more details about the phone:

HW Revision (1.3/1/4)

ROM: stock/custom

OS version

What you're describing is symptom of power button being continuously pressed. You might need to clean it or change it.
[Focus General] Rgarrettpro:
I have the latest update on the phone and it is stock. How would I go about cleaning the power button or changing it?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I don't know of any specific video for repairing the power button, unfortunately.

However, here is a thread on repairing the screen, which gives you an idea how to open the phone. Keep in mind that if you do open it, you lose your warranty so if you want to keep it, don't open it.

Here and here are other 2 videos on opening the Focus, hope this helps.
[Focus General] Rgarrettpro:
I will watch those videos and see if I can learn anything from it. I might just have to get a new phone :( Thanks for the help!
[Focus General] Niflheimr99:
Blah

I have the same problem, and it seems related to the battery life going really low. im ordering a new Battery, tell me if anything improves with yours.
[Focus General] Niflheimr99:
Id like to report that getting a new battery has completely resolved this problem, even at low charges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoofdpijn:
Received my Gnex from the play store this afternoon. It's been sitting on the wall charger for about an hour now and the phone still does not power up. Do I need to be worried?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Does the battery charging icon show up while it's charging?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoofdpijn:
No, the screen is completely dark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Did u hold the power button and make sure the battery is in the phone

by me, for me and I love you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoofdpijn:
Heh...yes, the battery is indeed in the phone but that's a good thing to verify! :D

I tried holding the power button for 20 seconds. Then did the same with the power button and up/down volume buttons held in for about 20 secs. Nothing at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Uh uh there's somethig wrong. It should have powered right on up. Most batteries come with a 50% charge. I'd contact Google and make em exchange it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
Try plugging it into a PC. See if that works. You can also hold Volume up + power (could be volume down + power...) and that opens the device in recovery mode.

Basically just try anything you can to change the way the device starts up. Try a different power outlet as well. Failing all those... Yes; you have a problem. I would attempt to return the device. There are ways of fixing a bricked Nexus, but there are no easy ways of fixing a Nexus that won't accept a charge.

EDIT: Reason why I'm asking you to plug it into a PC is because possibly only the wall plug is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoofdpijn:
Hmmmmm....okay so I took the battery out with it plugged into the charger (which is something I had not done yet) and when I put the battery back in, the charging icon showed up for a few seconds but the phone still wouldn't power on. So I took the battery out again with the phone still plugged in and reinstalled it. Battery icon came back and then I was able to power on with the power button.

Very weird and somewhat concerning but I guess I'll see how it goes here.

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies everyone.

[HTC One X] hyelton:
Okay first of all this is my FIRST unbranded international version of a phone and I use AT&T. Well this phone seems good. Besides the battery. Here are my ?`s

1. I ordered this phone from Overseas Electronics on amazing for 595 for a new white one. Anyone vouch for them?

2. My Phones Box is in English but a few things indicate its from India. Including in the software it says English - India (Would it being from india affect anything?) Good or bad?

3. What should my phones software be? right now my baseband is 1.1204.103.14 and my build is 1.28.720.10 Is this the latest?

4. I seem to have issues even it town with it liking to drop to edge more than my att branded galaxy note did. Anyway to fix this? (does it need a different modem or is the one on it good?)

5. How to you achieve good battery life? I have brightness turned down and it went from 100% down to 90 in maybe 20min of 1 or 2 texts (this is still the first day of owning)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingod513:
Hi, as I heard that the ringtone sound and the notification sound are linked default on ICS. But mine didnt, any way to set it please? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingod513:
Anyone pls?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesywad:
+1 x 1000

Same on mine (and also on S2 ICS builds i noticed).

For some reason Samsung have changed the default ICS behaviour of linked Ringer and Notification volumes, and split them...but not given us a tick box to link them if we want.

There are many apps out there written for ICS that can split the volumes, but we need one that links them! Audio Manager for example which did a great job for me on GB, doesnt give the option on Samsung ICS to link (because ICS is SUPPOSED to be linked).

I find it annoying that turning my volume down by the rockers leaves my notifications blasting out at 100%.

Is there some kind kind dev in here that could write an app (or hack) to relink the volumes? Please. Pretty please.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingod513:
Installed an app called "quick settings". once installed, the volume of my notification and my ringtones linked automaticlly. So sad that the only function useful of the app. Wasting space but no choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hshah:
I tried the app and it didn't work for me :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingod513:
After you installed this, you do the volume +- in the app, it will +- your both ringtone and notification alart tone at the same time. Cant do the +- with the physical key though. Still this is the best way i can find so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryn888:
Download the Volume+ from Google Play.

[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
i have a t mo sensation running latest ver of ordroid. why does my icon in status bar switch from 4g to 3g all the time. i thought it only runs on 4g and 2g?
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
normal
[HTC Sensation] DLittle2012:
No you might ever get h which is the samething as 4G.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
you can lock on ONE signal by

Pressing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see phone information, go their you will then be able to access another pull down menu by where you see your current network signal, lock on the one you want , then scroll down press refresh and your good to go! :)
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
again, it's normal. The OP isn't talking about switching between gsm and wcdma
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
what do you mean what does that do?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
it allows me to lock on one signal so it does not continue switching back and forth. Works for me.....
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
what did you set it to ?
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
and for some odd reason i get full bars 2g and 1-2 bars 4g
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
WCDMA only which gives me H or 4G but its a personal preference. I got tired of my device switching to EDGE, try to surf the web on EDGE, not fun! After I learned how to lock the signal I've been on H ever since! Thanks to a friend showing me this trick! Just thought I'd pass it on to you. Works for me and my complaint was similar to yours. Let me know if it solved your problem please. I honestly think it will. Just trying to help :)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
thing is different areas get stronger and weaker signals i

Am not familiar with your area but its worth a try if the switching is a bother.sounds like one signal is stronger just as in my case however switching to wdcma or H I have 5 bars.
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
ya i see what it does but for some reason signal is just spotty at my house it fluctuates between 1-2 bard then drops to none and repeat.. t mo just must be bad in my area
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I'm sorry it didn't work! Seems tmobile is spotty everywhere! They really need to work on that!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
Just picked it up at my local best buy

It's different from any of the otterbox defender I've used for any EVO but feels very nice on the hands
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Great review:rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
Here is what it looks like
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rellimdekim:
I went to my Best Buy but they didnt have the Otterbox yet.. I had already preordered one on Amazon.. Does it still have a protector built in for the camera? Also can you take a picture of the phone on its side vs the case on its side?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
No it does not
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johamsandwich:
Can you post a side by side comparison of the phone with the case and the phone without?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Lol, this cracked me up. Thanks for that. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
Yes give me one sec
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xTmDarren:
your second is up.. hehe jk- Cant wait to see some side pictures.. :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
I'm surprised the defender has a slot for the kickstand. I think the OG Evo did not have one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MonnieRock:
The Otterbox Defender for the OG had it's own plastic kickstand that covered the phone's kickstand.

I am surprised too that the LTE's defender case uses the phone's kickstand.

I would have liked to have seen a rubber cover, similar to the port covers,over the top of the kickstand.

Monnie
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
Sorry it took a while for me to post these pics but here they are
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
here is a better quality
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johamsandwich:
Thanks for the pictures!

How does the phone feel with the case on it? It looks bulky as hell. XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
looks huge. all these cases are friggin huge, how can they fit in your pocket comfortably.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
yeah it does but I need it because I do have the habbit of dropping my phone alot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcresu8i:
its bulky just waiting for the commuter to release might want to get that as well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
I batter my phones a lot being a firefighter. They go in pockets with a ton of stuff in them. I always get the defender in case if I drop it from the aerial when doing events or something (which I have done and I do believe the case has saved my phone) plus it comes with the belt holster that doesn't come with any other OB case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mayfield103:
The rubber is new and better imo :) its not the lint sucking rubber from defenders past :D the port covers work better also
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RonZombie:
They didn't have the Otterbox when I picked up my phone yesterday.

I went to the same Best Buy today with my Buddy to pick up his and they had them in stock.

Got them to give it to me for $40.

I like the bulk it adds.

The phone felt so Fragile to me and now it feels like a tank!

The only downfall the Kickstand is hard to access.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshv06:
So my Evo came in the mail today, after I canceled my order after hearing they were being held by customs. Sprint canceled my line, and is processing my refund, they said it should take around 6 days, which is 3 days from now. They must've just sent out all of the packaged Evos. Either way, I don't have a contract with Sprint, and I'm playing with the new Evo here! Anyone on the same boat as me?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
When I canceled my Sprint order *slaps head* and went with Amazon instead, Sprint told me that in all likelihood they'll probably still ship me my phone. Wish they actually did this to me. I must have canceled it far enough out where they didn't.

I probably would have kept the phone and paid full price if they did.

So are you going to keep the Evo?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshv06:
I guess so, I'm just going to hold onto it and see what happens. Either way, I don't have a contract with them, but still have their phone :o. It's nice, love the screen!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
And they have your billing info....lol so you'll be paying one way or another
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshv06:
Lol are they gonna take 600$+ from my bank for a phone they accidentally shipped out? Anyone in the same boat as me?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
Yes, once it is all sorted out. Unless you got lucky and it just slipped through the cracks. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Uhh, yes.. I'm not sure if they'll just take it, but you will definitely be billed for it one way or another lpl
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
The exact same thing happened to me, and I am staring at this thing knowing it's too good to be true... I tried to find out where sprint covers this scenario in their terms and conditions but couldn't find anything. Also I didn't see any preorder cancellation policy. I'd assume they will find out.

I canceled my order just before the customs fiasco began, same day just a couple hours before the news got out. The girl who helped me said I needed to hold while she verifies the phone hasn't shipped, and she came back saying everything is done my order is canceled.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
This is the reason that they stopped canceling preorders. Their system is messed up, and even if the order was canceled, the phone would ship. I'd say hold on to it for a while, see what happens
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
No, they are gonna take $600 from your bank for the phone that you accidentally didn't ship back to them, lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Pretty much. :p

Double negative.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
This is exactly what would seem to make sense, but it takes into assumption that they have the right to enforce it. Frankly, Sprint "should" have this right. But that has to be in writing for them to act, no? They must have authorization to withdraw funds from your account to initiate any charge. Without your express consent, they would need to prove that you agreed to terms that allow them to make further charges in given circumstances... i.e. unexpected circumstances causing errors regarding canceled preorders. Terms that hold me responsible, even if the error is neither Sprint's nor my own fault.

I'm not saying that I think this means is clearly have the right to keep the phone and Sprint is screwed because this is a unprecedented issue affecting a very narrow field of customers... and I'm prob gonna have to send it back. I'm saying that I'm trying to do my homework because I know they have to be able to back up taking action regardless if it's their fault or not that I still received it.

And so far, I haven't seen any clauses that this falls into... notice I said "so far" because this "should" be covered somewhere. I wish I knew someone who worked for sprint, like a cs manager or something who would know how this honestly works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rieksfier:
The honest thing to do would be to just call Sprint and ask them what they would like you to do with it. I would've refused the delivery from UPS in the first place...Okay I lie, so I would've probably opened it too. :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshv06:
If anyone was wondering, I got my 200$ back in my bank, I still have the Evo, and do not have a contract with Sprint. ESN is clean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hunt3r.j2:
Once they figure out what happened, the ESN probably won't be clean much longer....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
Did you already activate it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
They most likely won't change your card but they can and will bill you for it and when you don't pay they can and will send it to a collection agent dinging your credit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
Agreed. I just saw a news story where 69k was deposited accidentally into some guys account. He spent most of the money and is now in for some serious felony charges. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer or a sober Salley. But if you try to get away with this without 700 dollars in your account... I wish you the best of luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eun-Hjzjined:
Sprint will just send your info to a collections company. Happend to me when I got a replacement razr with rogers. They sent me the replacement phone and didnt give me return instructions to send the borked phone back. Tried calling them about it and they told me, ''the matter	has been forwarded to collections.''
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Señor Poo:
They're going to get their money.....

One way or another.....:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
I got a call today from Sprint. They recognized what happened, as we expected they eventually would. Long story short, they are trying to see if you have it and if you do they'll send a return kit.

The language they're using off the bat is not as if "oh hey do you have it or not? If not that's ok, our bad no worries." It's more like "you have it, we have a tracking confirmation, we need it back."

In my case, the order number was indeed showing online as successfully canceled. And I did cancel just a couple hours prior to the customs bomb dropped. So it's not a case where I asked to cancel and they said I'd have to wait to receive it then return it afterwards.

Here's the funny part. They shipped it without sending the email notification that the order shipped and to expect it. This is something they promised to do back when we originally preordered and before customs fiasco. So once I pointed this out, and pointed out that UPS left it at the door without a signature, I got her to admit this isn't entirely not my responsibility and I cannot and will not be charged.

If you don't know a package is coming in the first place let alone WHEN and WHERE to expect, and Sprint/UPS don't need a signature... the box could be sitting out there God knows how long. It's memorial day weekend after all. People are gone.

I'm going to give it back, as I always intended. But I went through the facade that I am out of town for memorial day and can't check my porch, so that they might feel bad enough I'd need to go out of my way to deal with this and give me a credit or something. They said no, because they already sent me a free gel case! She said this like "oh you're in luck" but I cracked up "oh so there's TWO unexpected and possibly already stolen shipments that were sent?" At that point even she laughed.

Anyway, there's my story. I got them to acknowledge that if the phone doesn't get back to them they won't come after me, but it was all for nothing. I could keep the device even though they'll certainly block the ESN, but what for? Besides it feels good to do the right thing, right?.................. right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skizzy034:
The OP might have an advantage tho. He doesn't have a contract with Sprint and the ESN is clean. Just speculating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xTmDarren:
the ESN is still locked on Sprint and on his old existing account.(yes sprint locked the evoLTE on accounts for pre order reasons.) I had to call sprint myself bc my wife had it locked on her account and I couldn't activate it without contacting sprint first. So either way its basically a toy that can never be activated until you contact sprint..
