Thanks!

I'm not worried about that even if it does. I just want to try something for a day.

Gunny, if/when we get s-off, will we be able to get rid of the re-locked?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] checksum123:
Have you guys noticed how hot the phone gets while charging or while watching a youtube video for example. I have recorded temperatures as high as 113 F.

It gets so hot, I cannot leave my hand on it for more than 10s without feeling the sensation of burning. All the heat is concentrated around the camera lens. During that time, applications tends to crash a lot, especially the browser. This will shorten the battery life and the ever small electronic components on the phone.

This is a big design flaw, HTC should not have released this phone with this kind of heat issue, especially considering that this is something you hold with your hands and it is so noticeable. I am pretty sure they tested it and found out about it, but decided to do nothing about it, what were they thinking? I would have never release a phone that generate this much heat.

I have owned many smartphones and this is by far, very far the hottest, especially when compared to the iPhone.

I am very tempted to return it before my 30 day return policy is over, and wait for the samsung g3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Does not sound normal, Tegra 3 had this issue but not the One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
You may need to exchange it. My phone barely gets warm, that's it. 85ish is normal for me

if it's reaching 110 and over in a relatively cool environment, then yeah, it may be a problem.

The iPhone 4s released with a widespread heat problem,btw. I don't think it's a design flaw at all, you probably just got a hot unit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oxeneers:
I only notice high(er) heat temperatures when using LTE. That's a given. The heat is partly due to the battery discharging.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
To make it really cook, use google nav for 15 minutes with GPS on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
I notice the phone getting hot while using Navigation and charging at the same time for 20+ minutes. Otherwise I don't notice any heat build up.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Hmm, I'd agree with everything everyone has said.. the only other feedback I'd say was in regards to an issues thread you closed. Yes, there are still too many ics threads(it was older than the "everything ics thread"), but overtime hopefully some will be useful. The everything ics thread will eventually become too hard to search, so threads that serve specific purposes rather than be grouped up in an "everything" thread will potentially help keep things organized..

You've been incredibly patient, and you inherited a forum that has a sorta ugly past.. but you've done pretty much more than I could have expected. Keep up the good work, I'm glad we have you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeartFan40:
Thank you, SBD. I like your idea about creating a simplified ICS thread. I agree with you about the "everything ICS" Thread. Lengthy threads can be intimidating to new users. Feel free to create a noob guide to ICS in the general section. Thanks for your input. ;)

Could not do anything.

I've tried everything already, and not achieving anything.

My evo 3d will be brick or not?

Please look at the photo and tell me what you think.

View attachment 1089175

I get this is the problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
well, if all you're wanting to do it turn it into a brick. I can ship you a brick via UPS. lol Then you could use that brick that I ship you to turn it into a brick. hehehe.

Just watch the videos on youtube and do exactly what they do. the timing has to be right.
[HTC EVO 3D] HTC Reseller:
Have you tried to run a RUU?
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonmaze:
Ok.

What exactly does your phone do when you power it on? Does it boot? When did this happen? What were you doing to the phone when you noticed this? When you say you've tried everything what exactly have you tried?
[HTC EVO 3D] Troyman:
My friend, i have all the RUU.

Do you see the photo? That makes all the phone.

Appreciate your answer, thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonmaze:
First I would suggest that you get S-Off. You should be able to complete that using revolutionary.

Once that is done let me know. Go to revolutionary.io and follow the instructions there to obtain s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] zketizk:
There is an extra guide for this.

(did the same with EU RUU + HEX editing of img i made with dd command etc.)

Dunno if there is a difference of rooting cdma version u have.

Maybe u`r hboot is corrupted, but don`t panic yet... with upgrade - downgrade, u should fix it. (in theory)

If u`r screen gets black... ye, it`s bricked :)

U`r still far away from it? :))
[HTC EVO 3D] Troyman:
revolutionary not work either.

waiting for device...
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
The good news for you is that you have HBoot 1.40 so you only need to root or to restore via RUU
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Does the phone powers up? If yes, did you enable USB debugging?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikea3000:
I keep my phone on auto brightnes all the time but kind of feel the screen is always to dim or ver slow to react to lighting differences before the screen actually adjusts. Anyone else feel this way?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] IMissPalmOS:
Ditto, but the latest update seems to work much better in this regard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jpnelson40:
I agree that it is too dim most of the time. It might help to have a scaling setting built in, so those of us with dim vision might specify greater overall brightness, or at least a minimum floor value (never less than this level).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unique77:
Yea this is sad unfortunately coming from the g2x, which was perfectly fast and smooth with dimming. Seems glitchy on this one. Everything else j love about this phone though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
i know this have been discussed before but there is still no solution.

here s my problem: wifi signal drops suddenly when i hold my phone. ive done sevral speed tests. These tests confirm that holding the phone results in a really bad wifi quality. I ve tried eveything.

does anyone have any ideas? even if its hardware moding

thx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
+1

Sad to say, in my tests, by tightly holding the phone, especially at the bottom right, the signal strength reduced by about 20dBm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
this really sucks since this phone is pretty good and so far its the only BIG problem i found. and no solutions.... :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MyEntityRemains:
Must be a random problem. I have the RAZR and RAZR Maxx and neither has this problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trombazucche:
For me, on 2.3.6 wifi signal was low, especially taking phone by bottom, but on ICS, both t-mobile ics and latest eu ics, wifi signal is very improved. Hand issue remains, but signal is for me stronger.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
well i guess im just going to wait for stock ics update and hope it improves but im guessing the problem wont disappear since this is clearly a hardware issue. and if this is random then im very unlucky
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
When software fixes a radio that software usually just makes the signal-strength meter show signal that's not really there.

There are apps on Play that "fix" all kinds of radio problems by installing signal-strength icons with the low-strength indications set inaccurately. It *looks* like more signal, but it's the same low signal you had before.

Signal strength has almost nothing to do with reception anyway. Signal/Noise ratio is what's important, and there's no meter for that. One bar of signal in a very RF-quiet area, is much better than five bars in a computer data center.

"Caveet emter, I reckon!"

- Mark Twain

I have no wifi issues with this phone. The GNex however was unusable at 30 feet from a high-powered Hawking WAP, or an Apple Airport Extreme WAP.

If you have a plastic case, try removing it. Some cases are made with recycled plastic and are infused with conductive material that can act as a Faraday Shield, blocking part of the signal. Easy test, costs nothing but a few seconds...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
yea i already knew about the plastic thats why i bought a rubber case. I have to say it helped a little but didnt fix it. the problem is still there.

thx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Haven't seen any problems with my wifi, although I mainly use the 3G simply because I have 4 GB of data a month and I will never use that much when I'm out around town.

If the problem occurs when holding it a certain way wouldn't the simplest solution be to not hold it that way, also be very aware of any metals between you and the router as metals block radio signals, how old is your house, if old enough maybe lead paint, unlikely but just throwing all possibilities out there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
thx for your help. i didnt only test this at home and as for holding the phone im used to hold it like i hold all phones and its pretty annoying if i always have to hold it differently if i want to use the internet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
Have you tried the free Play Store app, WiFi Analyzer?

This will help you find out what works/doesn't as it provides more sensitive strength measurements from the chip. It's handy anyway, since it shows WAPs that you aren't connected to. yet.

It's quite possible that your antenna wire bounced off the connector. An insignificant drop of an inch could do that if it was never seated correctly. It would likely operate in a degraded capacity as a result. If you're OK with cracking the case open, that's something quick to check.

How long have you had this phone?

I have never heard anyone complain about the Razr's WiFi reception, so I suspect this is something unique to that phone right there. What is your idea of poor reception? 100 feet, inside, is the practical limit. 300 feet in an open field. Metal wall studs, sheet metal siding, all of these will stop radio waves dead.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
I get that, just trying to "cover all the bases" as they say.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Then you haven't been listening. The RAZR is universally acclaimed to have the worst WiFi reception of ANY device since 1999.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
im ok with opening it... i actually opened it a couple of times and removed the battery but idk what to look for since nothing is labeled i dont even know where exactly is the wifi ship and antenna. i tested this as close as 6 feet from my router when i leave it on the table i get full wifi signal and speed test at max then i hold it and try... wifi signal goes down and speed test at 3/4 max speed...

thx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
It's possible that I have an extraordinary phone then. I decided to compare.

My phone is seeing -60dbm from the Hawking extender that I'm closest to, which is about 20 meters away, behind three stick-frame (pine 2x4 studs, sheetrock) walls. The reading varies dramatically, depending on where I put it on my desk. So let's see what some other WiFi devices do...

My MacBook reads -58dbm. My iPad2 reads -59dbm. An HP Envy 15 reads -65dbm. And a Moto Atrix2 WCS (With Cracked Screen) reads -61dbm.

A transfer of 200MB ("random" data created via linux: 'dd if=/dev/random of=200mb.dat bs=1048576 count=200' so that compression algorithms don't skew the results):

Razr (6.12.79 ICS Black Widow): 9s

MacBook (Lion): 6.5s

iPad2: 10s

HP Envy 15 (Ubuntu 11.10): 7.5s

Moto Atrix2 WCS: 10s

I didn't repeat the test, and that is a busy WAP, but the results are what I expect for battery-operated devices. I also expected the ipad, atrix and razr to lose the race, since they have relatively slow storage systems, which have inherently poor write performance on files of this size (200MB won't buffer at all).

The WiFi cable will look like a white or black wire with a gold junction on the end where it meets the motherboard. I would expect that if you've had the phone open, you would definitely notice a wire hanging loose! I doubt that's the problem, but that wire is a coaxial shielded cable - like on cable TV only really tiny - and you can do all kinds of DIY replacement antenna stuff eg, adding an external jack so you can "beam" WiFi a mile away using a hacked Pringles potato chip can. :)

I actually think the problem might be RF noise in your environment. Florescent lights (CFLs), computing equipment, HVAC compressors, and motors can effectively "jam" WiFi signals, causing packet transmission failures to increase rapidly as the distance from the WAP increases.

We have a Fluke RF analyzer here, and our WiFi setup is quite good as a result.

Does anyone know if the Razr is unusually susceptible to RF noise? Maybe noise that the Razr generates from the motherboard/CPU/radios/BT? I'm not equipped to test that.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

Do you have other devices to compare the Razr to?

Did you try pointing all the rubber duck antennas on the WAP straight up?

I just checked an iphone, another ipad, another Razr, and a Dell laptop, and my boss's Razr was technically the winner on signal strength and transfer speed, but let's call it even. There are too many variables, and statistically significant benchmarking is beyond the scope of a forum comment.

The Razr has typical WiFi performance in this environment.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
Thank you very much for your post. I did try with the desire z and the evo 3d which are doing jist fine wheather i hold them or leave them on the table: both signal and speed test are amazing compared to the razr (if i hold it). If you could tell me where the wifi ship and antenna are located (a pic maybe) it would be great because when i open the razr all i can see are metal plates everywhere probably for cooling. I dont understand what you mean by pointing all the rubber duck antennas on the WAP...

Thx again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
I haven't had a Razr open yet. Even after dropping mine from a motorcycle and watching it slide into a ditch with an inch of water in it. Tough li'l bastards...

The WiFi antenna cable and connector are probably under one of the metal shields.

Most WAPs have 1, 2, or 3 "rubber duck" antennas that you can move to maximize the signal lobe pattern. You can use the WiFi Analyzer app to adjust them, but be prepared to walk a lot...

Others are just a box. The only one of those that *I* know of that works well is the Apple Airport Extreme. The Netgear Wireless-N HD, which is very highly rated, is a P.O.S.: it has a narrow, elongated lobe pattern, and if you're in that narrow lobe, it works REALLY well. If not, you'll be lucky to connect to it. Two people standing 10 feet apart, and one can have great service while the other can't even get an IP address.

The fact that you have other devices working well, and you sound like you've done this quite a bit, I'm guessing you have a problem inside the phone itself.

I manage about 200 phones here, and I haven't heard one word of complaint about WiFi. 3G/4G service? Yeah, lots of complaints about 3G/4G from people out in the woods or working in a valley.

These also work well as a WAP (tethering). We have a few of the Personal WiFi devices - a handheld that converts 3G/4G to WiFi for up to five users - but most people prefer this phone for that.

My old DroidX has a better WiFi antenna, but that's an exceptional phone with only one core: I spit on it. Ptui.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedjs:
I flashed the new FFF through TWRP as stated in the title of this post, but I didn't read any of the instructions which is sadly why I'm here now x.x...When I turn the kindle on, whether it's connected to my PC or if its connected to a wall outlet, the screen never turns on, but the power button light goes bright green for a split second, then bright orange, then it turns into a very dim orange and thats it, will anyone please help me on this on what to do?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
How recently did you do this? A new version was released yesterday that was supposed to prevent that from happening.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedjs:
Recent

Like half an hour ago :\ and, I made some food and came back to find the gedeROM booting, and as soon as it booted, it said Powering Down because the battery was too dead, then the kindle restarted and I took the power cable out, and it said Charging please wait, but thats it, that shows up for like a split second then the screen goes black again

EDIT - Sorry for being so paranoid, I ran over to check how my tablet was doing and I pressed the power button, and its successfully booted at 4% battery. I guess the battery was just THAT dead
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikea3000:
Had the One S for about a month, not a bad phone...but too many bugs. That phone cant hold a signal. I consistently have better signal on the GSII. Also when making phone calls with the One S other party always complains that m voice either sounds robotic or like i'm in a tin can. Since I primarily use my phone as a phone this is a big show stopper.

One great thing about the one s is battery life. With 3-4 hours of talk time and 3 hours of screen time, I still have 35-40% after being off the charger for 16 hours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charlie Brown:
I don't blame you ....the one s feels cheap.

I can't believe no external memory and no removable battery....reminds me of an iphone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
I dont believe in htc hardwares. They sucks.

I waited so long to get s 2 instead of sensation!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unique77:
Tried out a one s in store as well. Just didn't seem as nice as the sgs2. Really glad I went with the galaxy instead... Especially when i read about all the problems in the one s forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
I liked the design of the One S to a certain extent but, the more I looked at it the more it looked like a Sensation. Even has the same stupid, cheap cutout for the front cam, which is VGA (Yuck). I totally jumped ship, sold my One S and left T-Mobile and used to the money to buy an AT&T Note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xuanphucn:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vmartinez39:
Had the itch to buy the One S on impulse.

Held back because well... didn't want to pay retail for a phone again.

I got an Amaze in the mail. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

I had mytouch 4G and only complain was ****ty battery life and speaker phone. Just sucks. Otherwise was stable.

HTC is full is like 90% good, and screw up on one piece of the phone that makes it suck. That 10%

Honestly I can say I'm pleased with GS2 overall and my minor complaint is screen resolution and placement of capacitive buttons. Its best phone I've had so far. So reliable and great battery life.

My only complaint is no CM7 Stable full support. I learned to live with Stock based ROMs. But whatever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AlexandersCurse:
I had the one s for a week and went back to the SGSII I believe that the screen on the S2 is way better than the one s the camera on the one s is amazing but all in all S2 is still superior IMO :D
