I ended up getting the iArmbands case for HTC phones in Otterbox cases. If you go to their site they have the model number there. It fits great with my Otterbox Commuter. It even fit my nephew's Droid Razr Maxx in an Otterbox Defender.

The only thing I don't like is that the armband itself isn't elastic and is very short. I contacted iArmbands about this and they recommended an extender from TuneBelt.

I had to cut the case for the headphones to fit as the holes didn't align. Not a big deal. I am thinking of buying the TuneBelt for large phones in otterbox and seido cases. I might do that when I order the extender. I miss having an elastic band versus the nylon? one with the iArmbands case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keerttttt:
Hi everyone! I know i'm not the first one who has this problem but i'm one of them.

I read and tried everything on what i could find about this, but i can't get it fixed! please help!

The situation:

I have a I9100 Galaxy S2, and it works fine, except for the cell phone functionality. It sais "Baseband unknown", has no imei number (also no 0049... imei), and i tried multiple EFS folders (i also have one from a friend who got it from his own Galaxy S2.). But no work.

In fact, i read that if you delete the EFS folder, it should autocreate a new one. It kinda did, but it only generates a bluetooth, upgaddr and wifi folder. Nothing more nothing less.

I flashed another rom, i flashed another phone image with Odin. I tried to erase all kinds of stuff with the clockwordmod recovery. But nothing helps so far.

If i'm correct from my standing, it looks like the baseband is broken itself. Why else wouldn't it even recreate the EFS folder? I'm starting to think that my original EFS folder (which i backed up before replacing it) was fine, but it's not even being read anymore...

Can anyone help me?

Thank you! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keerttttt:
bump, still trying. Flashed a new clockworkmod recovery and with adb reformatted the efs partition as listed on xda somewhere. Then rebooted.

The Bluetooth does get a new mac address, so that part is good, but baseband still unknown and imei totally empty.

Also, the phone should regenerate the efs folder itself right? Well it doesn't. That means, it makes a bluetooth and a wifi folder, but that's it. No files or whatever...

Help please!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
m8 y u even delete the efs folder????? anywayz u got a backup so jus copy papte the files of efs...an flash stock rom....if u get un known base band then revert one step back --tht is flash a stock rom then come to present rom--then check///or u can flash cwm modems available suited to tht rom...but make sure u r pure stock--pda,modem,csc.....an yes copy the good efs folder on ext sd card too ,,so tht u can set same permissions like the ones ur copying to phone efs folder(sometimes the permissions change afta reboot)

Hey guys I just attempted to unlock my Samsung i896 Captivate and I'm pretty sure I did it right. Anywho my issue is that now whenever I try to make a call it says "One moment while we connect your long distance call", anyone know why this is? Is there anyway to fix this or do I need a new simcard?

Has anyone preordered their Evo from Radio Shack? Either online, or in-store? Preordered mine in-store (same place I preordered my OG Evo). The customs hold really fubar'ed this launch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SwooshManDM:
I did and spoke with 2 different local stores today and they both told me they had a "webmail" today saying they'd have phones to cover the pre orders tomorrow. I called 2 stores because the one I preordered from had zero info before today but I was suprised when they also knew what was going on and that my phone would be delivered to them by FedEx between 10 and 11. They did also mention they were only selling the pre orders until the official launch had happened. I guess I'll know tomorrow if they were right but the girl I talked to at one of the stores read me the communication she called the "webmail", so I'm confident it willl be there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
I guess if true we will hear something tomorrow. I spoke with the manager at the one I'm dealing with, and he mumbled something about a webmail as well. He was very vague as to what it was about. I'm a regular customer there (only place that sells electronics parts, and solder in the area). Hopefully he'll do me right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quizo:
Going too radioshack on my break to see what's going on. This is crazy I haven't heard anything from those clowns
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
I don't think you'll find out much. But you never know. This launch is one of the most convoluted, and messed up launches I ever witnessed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
They told me ill get a call today for an appointment, and it will be tomorrow. Even if it comes in yesterday or today! Rs handled this situation as piss poor as sprint did.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
I did see a tweet about RS getting their "pre-order fulfillment" today, and are supposed to be distributed starting today as well. Again all rumor..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
Just talked to the manager at the RS I preordered mine. It should be in by 4pm today.. Heading over there 5pm when I get out of work. w00tage!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wuestsider:
I spoke with my local (Rancho Cordova, CA.) radio shack yesterday (5/24) and they told me to call them today around 2. Man I hope they have the phone, I already gave my EVO 3D to my wife and I down graded to the OG EVO.....LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dschoenike:
does anybody know if the Radio Shack stores are supposedly just getting enough EVOs in to cover preorders? I only ask, because yesterday I stopped at a RS, and they said nobody placed a preorder in their store, but yet put me 1st on the list for when they do get a shipment. guess I can only hope. thanks to everyone for providing info in this thread.

dschoenike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Yeah just enough for pre orders, so if there is a pixel out or something we are **** outta F ing luck. This whole situation was handled like ****. If nobody pre ordered at that store, then they are getting 0 in. You gotta either wait until launch day, or go from radio shack to radio shack trying to find an eVo that was pre ordered than canceled.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Just got the call. Mine is in and they are actually letting me pick it up. wow about time! Just gotta wait til I'm done work now.can't wait! ! !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
Got mine at 4:30 today... Apparently according to the store manager I was the only person to pickup their pre-order (they had several pre-orders but when they tried to contact these folks no one has responded). So they may have several phones available.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magicalan:
got my phone today aswell, radioshack called me and the first thing they told me is that I would be the first one in my city to get it lol..not even the sprint retail store had it..and when i traded lines(because the upgrade was from my dad) the guy took the phone to the back to show his boss and some employes haha :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quizo:
Got mine around mid day today they got my phone in and called me.I am happy now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] utnick:
Got my phone on the 25th and I was that store's only pre-order. I also got a free 32gb SD card with it. They gave me a choice of a $25 accessory and the funny thing was is that I HAD to spend all of it to get the free accessory. So I snagged a SD card that was 20% off with the purchase of the phone, but that didn't reach $25 so I snagged a 3' 3.5mm audio cable for in the truck. I thought it was a pretty nice deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fhnguyen:
Hey guys,

Just got the LTEVO this afternoon, and I put in my old 64GB from my 3VO. I had to do some workarounds since the file structure is different (move around backups of text messages from GO SMS, etc.).

However the one thing I can't do a workaround of is moving all of my music files since there is not enough space, obviously.

But now due to the changed file structure (I believe), Play Music is not detecting my music, and there is no Scan Music option. However, the HTC music app is detecting it. Anyone else have a similar problem or find a solution for this?

Instead of nevermind maybe telling us what happened and how you resolved would be super cool. I just got my evo lte and it keeps connecting and disconnecting from my wireless router and none of my other devices are having any issues.

My phone sees the SSID of my 5ghz N radio but won't connect. It does connect fine to other radio running n/g at 2.4ghz
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] forsaken001:
I am having the same problem with my wifi, it keeps connecting and disconnecting, but it only ses to happen when I browse the internet. Downloading apps and streaming content it stays connected.

Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] portojohn:
I was having a problem connecting to a non-broadcast SSID. The "fix" seemed to be going into wifi settings, select Wifi Frequency Band and put it into 2.4 off of auto. It connected great when I did that and didn't go in and out. I switched back to auto and haven't had a problem since. Might be helpful to some to try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
Wifi is weak for me. Where my laptop can get 1-2 bars, my phone is saying out of range.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
ok everyone -

click on settings --> wi-fi --> menu (its soft button upper right hand corner) --> advanced

then click on "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and it'll stop trying to auto disconnect / connect spastically trying to save a little battery juice.

--

If you have weak wi-fi, then on this advanced screen, check th circle next to "Best Wi-Fi performance" and it'll kick it into high gear.

I am shocked at the wifi in this, i can see networks several blocks over i can't even see on my desktop or any other device for that matter. it's just one or no bars, but it sees everything around here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shinedown87:
Edit: I think I have fixed the problem (at least for now). I forgot the network and added it again and it's working perfectly.

(I rooted my phone last night)

I tried all of the things that you said, and am still having wifi issues. At my home, wifi connected without problem, but was extremely slow. So slow that it wasn't even usable (much slower than 3G!!!). All other devices I tried have no problems (E4GT, iPad, laptop).

I tried rebooting several times, with no results.

Now I am at school on a different network and it won't even connect (iPad still connects perfectly). Below the wifi network name in settings it goes between "saved" and "connecting".

Is anyone else having these same issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I would not recommend using "best wifi performance." On previous htc devices if you used this option it caused a wake lock on the device and didnt improve wifi at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinolay:
This describes my problem exactly. I have tried toggling all of the WiFi options in every permutation, and I can't seem to maintain a stable WiFi connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shinedown87:
I'm on my way home right now. I got it working at school, but I'll try now at home and see if it's working. Did you try completely forgetting the network?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twist:
I was having wifi issues as well when I first got my Evo LTE, all of my other wifi devices in the house were functioning fine and it was really starting to piss me off saying it was out of range and it was right next to it.

So just for the heck of it I rebooted my router and it fixed everything. So even if all your other devices are good, it cant hurt to give the router a power cycle.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shinedown87:
Yep, did the same thing. Unplugged the router (Motorola Router) and plugged it back in. Everything works perfectly now.

I have a 300n linksys with the tomato firmware on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
kinda unrelated question - (should i put this in it's own separate topic post??)

How do you set wifi priority, so it'll stay on the one i want it to connect to, not the strongest, or first one it saw, etc etc. can i order the 'saved' networks in any kind of priority list?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kinolay:
Has anybody found a fix for this? I have tried rebooting the router and my phone. I tried different routers. I tried a factory reset on the phone. Nothing is fixing it. Is anybody else still having this problem?

For those who have fixed it, what did you do? If WiFi works on your network, have you tried additional networks?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shinedown87:
Ever since rebooting my router, I haven't had a problem.

Have you tried a different network (or did you just change routers on the same network)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Apparently this is the thread for this issue... Didn't see this when I started the new one.

my original text below.

-------------------------------------------

Under settings/wifi/advanced, I have "keep wifi on during sleep" set to always. Yet after being off for a while, wifi seems to turn off. That is, upon waking phone from sleep, I can see it reconnecting to wifi, THEN my email is downloaded (k9 set to imap push). This indicates the above setting is not being respected.

Under "settings/more/usage/mobile network" is also set to on. This would suggest that even when wifi is not available, 3g/4g would still be used. This also does not seem to be the case. When waking the phone from sleep, I can see it reconnecting to 3g, then immediately connecting to wifi.

The goal is to have data enabled, even when the phone is sleeping so email can be received. The old evo 4g had a setting to keep data on even when phone was asleep.

Suggestions?

My solution

------------------------------

Ok.... After 2 hrs I made some headway.

Read this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590884 . Apparently the one x suffers from this issue to (though not all of them?!@#).

There's a hidden menu available showing these options.

Initially, the top most, "put data connection to sleep" was checked. I unchecked it, then waited 20+ minutes. Upon waking, wifi was still connected.

Access to this HIDDEN menu is through your launcher's/activities shortcut. If you're using the stock sense launcher, you won't have this, so follow the instructions in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1627517 .

Although this fix didn't work on the one x, it appears to be working on the evo during my time testing. The real test will be tonight. If I have wifi in the AM, then this works 100%. If not, back to the drawing board ;)

----------------------------------
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
this isn't the fix unless its just after low power threshold, the fix is in one X forums, you need root and modify some htc system files through shell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Confirmed. Wifi still seems to drop although the wifi icon remains present in the status bar. Looking at the wifi devices connected to the router clearly shows no evo connected :( .

I am rooted, so will have to explore the other fixes in the one x forum or wait for an ota update.

How intermittent have these problems been for y'all?

I just had this happen for the first time on my home router when trying to download offline maps for GMaps. It couldn't hold the wifi connection for more than 10 s. I've had the Evo LTE for coming up on a month now.

Powered off, then powered on my phone. Working now. I'd hate if this continued.

That was one of the first things I tried.. No luck.. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mystical80:
I don't know if it is because I rooted my phone or is this an issue for others, but when I leave locations that have WiFi stored, they won't connect onto another one unless I reboot the phone. It's like when I leave home connected, and get to work and connect automatically. It doesn't do this anymore. Phone has to be rebooted each time to work. Has anybody else had this problem, or has a resolution. I'm not running any custom roms. Just rooted the phone with current ICS. Thanks!!

Wifi is affected by HEAT.

This may sound crazy but I have found a definite correlation between the device's temperature and wifi performance. I don't know if this is only with my device - it'd be nice if someone can confirm or disprove this theory.

I noticed this first from one of the rooms in my apartment - there is 0-1 bars there and my wifi dropped quite often even though it's only about 20 feet from my wifi router (which is a 5GHz N Linksys). My phone frequently roams in that room. It also tends to drive the battery down fast because of the constant signal hunting/switching. And this also makes my phone hot, doing not too much (not just this phone - my original EVO and my Evo 3D both had quick drain/heat-up in that room).

Once I noticed that my wifi dropped and wouldn't turn back on. It said "error" in the quick settings options. And my bluetooth also wouldn't turn on/off. It pretty much froze my phone and it also did a self-reboot.

Anyway, I rebooted the phone, no luck with the wifi and bluetooth. A logcat showed some message almost as if the hardware died. I was concerned and started thinking how I have to go without a phone while HTC did a warranty repair. I got frustrated, had the phone in recovery for 15 minutes when I did a nandroid, cache wipe etc and rebooted and wifi was back. I thought the cache/dalvik wipe did it.

Another time I was 4 feet from the router and it wouldn't connect. I was playing a graphics intensive game for about 45 minutes and the phone was pretty hot, 42C or so. I'm not sure if this was because I set the "force 2d GPU rendering" in the developer section.

After the second time, I let the phone sit and cool down, wifi still would not turn on. It did come back fine after I did a reboot (the phone was already cool, 31C or so).

Then I tried a voice call with 1 bar signal which heated up the phone a lot. Same deal - wifi dropped, then no wifi until it cooled down and I rebooted.

In all the above cases, wifi would come on, drop off, come on again etc before it dropped for good.

I had wifi drop during phone calls prior to this but that was 2-3 bars and the phone didn't get so hot. Wifi came back sporadically.

Please make a mental note of how hot the phone is when you have wifi problems and post here - want to see if that really is the case with this phone.

This will allow you to easily restore all your apps and data after unlock. To start you must be rooted and have working ADB. You also must have atleast 3GB free on your sd card.

Steps:

1. Download attached zip file named dd.zip

2. Extract the zip and copy the dd file to your adb folder

3. Hook your phone up to ADB (all commands from here on out are sent w/o quotes)

4. "adb push dd /data/local/tmp"

5. "adb shell"

6. "su"

7. "cd /data/local/tmp"

8. "chmod 4755 dd"

9. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 of=/sdcard/data.img" This will take awhile, don't touch your phone. When it is finished, it will say records in, records out and some other stuff

10. Mount the phone to your computer and copy the data.img from your sd card to your computer

11. Unlock

12. After the unlock, if the data.img is no longer on your SD card, put it back.

13. Install CWM if you haven't

14. Flash the restore.zip that is attached here in recovery. When it is finished, your data will be restored. Big thanks to jcjcc for the flashable

Think of this like a partial nandroid backup & restore.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Would have help if I saw this before I unlocked lol. I was like f**k where did everything go?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
Thanks for helping me earlier with this. Only two of my apps were not restored when I checked, but everyone may vary. I used titanium to restore app only, not app+data since it seem data was restored properly using the above method.

This is great since it restores everything like settings too, not just user apps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] V DidDy 210:
i guess that's cool, but doesn't everyone make backups before they update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
You'd think so, but I've seen a ton of people in the unlock threads complaining that their devices were wiped. Fools.

Thanks OP for the method. It looks like you're pulling the data partition in its entirety, saving it to computer, then restoring. Do you think it's a better/safer/more complete way than just using TiBu? What advantage would this method have over TiBu?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcjcc:
Some of the data isn't restoring properly because you're restoring the partition while the phone is running (and trying to read/write to it at the same time).

Put your .img file at /sdcard/data.img and run this script in CWM recovery to properly restore your data.img.

OP, you can add this to the first post if you'd like.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
Cwm wasn't working when I posted this originally. The intent was to restore in cwm but it had no adb access and updater scripts were borked.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcjcc:
Yeah, there's no adb access, but updater scripts work (at least now). Thanks for the post, by the way! Everything restored 100% perfectly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
Thanks for the flashable. I added it to the OP w/ credit to you. I also removed the [WIP] and [PoC] tags from the thread since it now works 100%
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
This backs up an identical 100% of your system: settings, data, apps, any mods you did, etc you cannot do that with any of the current normal back up.

Worked flawlessly for me, and no doubt saved me a huge hassle. Thanks!
