Not to mention that it requires the sensors to stay active at all times, even when screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Basically, it uses the phone's gyroscope to detect how the phone is being held in order to keep the screen on. It's a very good app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
I didn't say I didn't know that. It uses the gyroscope which is far less of a battery hog than having a camera constantly tracking your eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
What's your point? Probability uses the same sensors that are used to auto rotate the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The point is the person I quoted said it was better than having a sensor always on when it is using a sensor that is also always on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
It locked up once and I restarted it.

Locked up again after a few minutes, shut itself down and no matter what I do, I can't get it to restart.

Kind of a suck way to start the day.

Just this afternoon picked up my shiny new replacement from Best Buy...totally new shipment which had just came in. I added no apps and 15 minutes later the first random reboot. It rebootted7 times in two hours and then just t turned itself off and won't come back to life.

No...the battery isn't dead.

Plug it into any charger and the charging light doesn't come on.

Seriously....this is frustrating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
maybe its your battery

let it charge for a bit with the device off

did you unlock the boot loader

can u flash roms?

can u even get to the bootloader?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Phone is fully charged. It was working fine during a call and when I hung up the call, the screen locked up then quickly blinked twice and that was that.

I tried pushing the power switch for almost two minutes and noting happened.

Better now than when I am traveling for work I suppose.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Take it back before the grace period. Lolz?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
My tpu case seems to be making the power button stick causing reboots. If you have a case, take it off and I would also remove the shiny top back cover and try again. If that doesn't work, call for replacement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Imprezed:
Do a battery pu...... Oh wait
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regulator207:
If you take the shiny back cover off you maybe removing something important. Look on the inside surface of the cover and you will see copper contact points. Is this the NFC antenna. I'm ignorant to how it works, just speculating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
I suggested taking it off just to try to get the phone to boot in case the power button us stuck. I didn't intend for him to leave it off forever
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
I understood what you meant :)

I did try it minus my TPU cover just in case that was the issue although the power button seems perfectly free..

Maybe they new camera will somehow magically be better :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tkemack:
Unclear if you got it to boot?...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Well.....it sprang back to life all by itself sitting on my desk at work this morning (it is sitting there waiting for BB to call me and tell me they have a new replacement). It simply powered up, booted and came to life sitting there.

It now reboots a couple of times an hour just sitting there and at times actually turns Mobile Networks OFF all by itself.

Perhaps it is possessed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:

It must be you. I think you need Jesus in your life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Yeah.....maybe that's my problem. My heart sunk with the first lockup and reboot. I said some rather ugly stuff to my phone in the car.

BB stated they had taken back two out of the 7 preorders and when I asked for what reason, he said he wasn't sure.

Tomorrow I will exchange it one more time at a BB 100 miles away from the first one since we are away this weekend and they are already holding it for me. Maybe a change of venue will help :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PaulHBK:
Sounds like some serious bad luck. I haven't heard of anyone's dying until you. I hope the different BBY return will do better for you man...

Received my 2nd replacement this morning (3rd EVO) frrom another store 100 miles from the first BB as I was visiting up there.

This one is Hardware Version 3 whereas the first two were version 2 and everything works perfectly so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smoley:
I just got mine today too...hardware version 003...zero issues!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Hw version 2? Weird! My preorder was hw 3....

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I'm curious as to the HW revisions people are getting. I got mine last week, not sure how long it had been sitting behind the glass at Walmart, and it's a rev. 3. I wonder what changes were made, must have been during the initial inventory build-up, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmofan:
The hardware version issue is very interesting. Mine is a pre order BB that got first day available at BB and is version 3. Wonder how many 2's are out there and if they also are having problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
yeah thats real real wierd. my preorder is a HW3....odd a store would get shipped HW2's after the fact...less the customs clearing and shipping was done by LIFO Last in First Out...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
I had version 3 since May best buy preorder fill and no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
Pre-order that I got last Saturday is a V3 as well..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
I talked to the store today. Both of my Verion 2's came from their original preorder stock. The first one obviously was sold directly to me, it's replacement was a preorder nobody ever picked up. Even though they had received the new shipment of EVO units Friday afternoon, they hadn't been brought out to the mobile department yet so I got the "old preorder stock device" that hadn't been picked up.

#3is still working perfectly :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I haven't heard of a single HW 002 except for the post in this thread. Its all HW 003.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I got mine at a Walmart when the launch was delayed because of the customs check and I got HW version 0003.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
Same here. I seriously doubt he had two hw version 2 phones let alone one of them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jerhar:
I had the exact same issue with my first EVO...

For the record, I experienced the exact same issue with my first EVO. Bought it this past Saturday (6/02) at Best Buy and spent the evening loading up all my apps. It worked like a charm. But the next morning after a full charge overnight it started acting up. Going black, and then coming back on. Plugging the charger in did nothing... the light didn't even come on. By late afternoon it wouldn't start up even intermittently. I took it back for a new one Sunday evening, and 48 hours in, we're doing well so far.

Curious -- how do I know what hardware version I'm running? I don't know the first, and now I'm curious about the second since I bought it off the same shelf as my first one. If I have another version 2, I'll send ya'll a pic to prove it. But so far everything is working well with my second phone.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Nevermind, I found the hardware version and the current device IS 0003. So that doesn't prove or disprove anything, but I'd love to see what the first one was!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Everything was fine till this morning when the phone shut itself down, powered back on, hung on the HTC boot screen and sat there and vibrated. Holding the power button down would not reboot it. The store couldn't even get it to turn off. I assume the battery will just drain down at some point.

I returned it to Best Buy that way where they admitted they have had more problems with this phone launch with phone problems than any other launch....all the same problems.

I loved the phone but as I use it for work and make 20-45 calls a day and numerous emails this was a show stopper unfortunately.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rank78:
wtf

I'm afraid this may have just happened to me. I had a charge of 40% and I went to look at my phone and noticed it was off. Held down the power button and wouldn't come on. I plugged it in and the light wouldn't come on. After 20 minutes or so I held down power while plugged in and somehow got it to boot. After booting the battery said 15%.

To anyone who had their EVO died, was their battery drain after it booted?

It's not that I didn't pay attention to my battery, it had enough power and never warned me it was low, just died. Now I'm freaked out it will happen again. My phone was the first batch Wirefly shipped, don't know if I should have them make a note of this in case when it happens again and after the return limit I'm still covered or just see if I can return it and get a new one from BB so future issues can be resolved locally. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I'm rooted using joelz Charmeleon ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robert542:
I have to go back to the sprint corporate store again tomorrow for my third Evo LTE. The first one had dead pixels. This one has dead pixels and light leakage. I hope the third one has no problems. Sprint is gonna have to start giving me gas money.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Called the support line over the weekend because of light leaks from the Home button, and was told to take it into a store. Took it to the closest corporate repair center there was (like 15 miles away), and was told, "Yeah, the repair guy confirmed the issue, but it seems to be happening on 2 other ones we have in the back as well. We can't really justify replacing it and using up your only replacement in the first 14 days." I just walked out. I guess I'll need to go to the other Sprint store that's 20 miles away, or the one near my office after work. The call center was unwilling to help. Their idea of helping was to send me a return kit, and pay for another phone while I wait for the refund from the first phone. I'm pretty pissed right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Which is why I love Best Buy. I had a dead pixel and they had me choose one phone out of 3. They wanted me to have a perfect phone and even told me if I have any problem with the new phone just bring it back. Sprint on the other hand always frowns upon us if we ever have to return a phone.:mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Yeah. I'll probably just take it to the corporate store near my work. They seem to help me pretty good there. We'll see what happens.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robert542:
I just got back from my fiasco with the sprint corporate store. Yeah so the douche assistant manager told me that he would not replace my second LTE with a new one because its the store policy that they don't replace for dead pixels. He told me I was just gonna have to deal with it because it doesn't effect the functionality of the phone. I said to him, oh yeah I want to see this policy that states that dead pixels don't justify a replacement. He was like a deer caught in headlight. He knew I just caught him in a lie. I knew I wasn't gonna get anywhere with piece of crap so I called customer care and explained the entire thing. The woman I talked with had to call this jerkoff and find out his story and he told her that there was nothing wrong with my screen. She then told me to bring it to another sprint repair store and have them look at it, so that's what I did. After the other store confirmed that it had dead pixels she then told the jerkoff at the corporate store to replace my phone. When I went in there to pick up the new phone this jerkoff acted like he was doing me a favor. Then the idiot want to try and sell me a pair of crappy beats headphones. This store will NEVER get any business from me, well other than replacements anyway. And thats the end of my rant.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] loujennings4:
I always have a better experience at Best Buy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Come on folks.....you doubt I put myself through the misery of three of these phones, trying to make it work simply because I post on two different sites because I know for fact that others are having the same issues? My local store has now had NINE returned for the same problem.. Another store close buy in NH had replaced 4. bad batch that all went to the NE....perhaps.

Stop being do darn paranoid, grow up and realize the world is not perfect and that we shouldn't have to deal with this crap from manufacturers. Between the phone dying and the WIFI dropping out constantly, this was utterly useless as a device to actually communicate with for work. Course I realize most of you don't actually use it to make calls on and do extensive internet work on while traveling.

Had I ever dreamed I'd go through this I would have kept my SII which I stupidly traded in instead of keeping as a spare.Instead I live with an EPIC 4G with a slideout keyboard till I start hearing better things or the SIII runs well.

Not everyone lies about their experiences gentlemen.

Hi all

I want to use my smart tag to Turn Off / turn on CALL FORWARDING. Anyone know anything about that? How or where or who to ask?
[HTC One V] falconyx:
So I bought my gf a one v and she loves it. One month after using it (stock, unrooted) it just went dead. Doesn't charge and doesn't get into bootloader (but not the QHSUSB_DLOAD and Blank Screen issue). Guy at repair told me that this was an issue with the ICS kernel causing a hard brick. Now, I naturally sent phone for repair since it is a warranty case. So far so good, lets just hope they get it done fast.

My question is though: should I root device and flash another ROM with presumably no such issues so I can avoid a future brick? I mean, I'm using a rooted desire and have no issues for over 2 years, now just didn't want to mess with the new phone of my gf and thought 'hey, lets keep it stock'... But the thought that it would die again after having it repaired is really discouraging. My gf is kind of frustraded and I don't want this to happen again. But are there such issues with custom ROMs for the One V? Like I said, I'm using the good old desire and don't know much about the one v, so I would really apreciate if you can tell me - because if such an issue is possible on custom roms, there is no point to bother flashing and voiding warranty.

Thanks for your time guys! :cool:
[HTC One V] hlavicka82:
Well at the moment we have only modified stock ROM for this device and one custom kernel (in beta state) which is still an ICS kernel.

However you''ll never know whether this happens again or not. But one thing you can know for sure is that if you unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel and ROM and it happens again then your are screwed because you lost your warranty.

Maybe you should wait a bit for some stable custom rom. Because an unstable and buggy ROM would make your gf even more frustrated and andgry :)
[HTC One V] falconyx:
Oh well, thanks for the insight my friend..So, If I got this right, if I root and flash one of the current roms and it bricks again, I will still not be able to acces bootloader? And is this really a kernel issue with ICS? I'm willing to even flash a GB rom, if it is possible, in order to avoid this...gf won't mind for sure lol, if this delivers a stable phone in the future :rolleyes:

P.S. Does this even happen with other ICS roms/on other stock ICS devices? Or did HTC just screw up on this one? I can understand a phone bricking when changing hboots or other tinkering, but just dieing like that is pretty damn stupid. And from what I read it happens to quite a few other one v users...Hope noone of you guys gets to experience this crap :mad:
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
1. In no other galaxy, no other planet... IT IS NOT A KERNEL FAULT! it may at well be a piece of poorly made phone. you should get another one from the warranty. I can 100% say that you will not have any problems. The kernel doesn't suddenly causes hard brick to your phone. If it does, do you know how many phones running ICS are there? Or One V's...

I have flashed alpha/beta/final kernels/roms for millions of times, no problems whatsoever.

in no way this is a kernel/soft problem. more likely the flash drive from your gf's phone, died!
[HTC One V] falconyx:
Thx dude, I was sort of wondering how this could really be a kernel problem, since the guy over at the repair told me so - 'Its a kernel issue with ICS'... well, I hope he was really wrong and the device we receive (hopefully soon) will be proper :)
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
That guy should really make his homework. In no way a kernel can brick the phone. If this was true, the phone will not boot and work for weeks in the first place. Its not like the kernel has a "time-bomb" inside and it triggers when it is set.

As I said, it is a phone problem, something hardware has failed.

Hopefully it will be fixed for you gf and she will not have any problems in the future.
[HTC One V] senhyd:
It happens in India too

My htc one v got bricked suddenly while using it. Forums at internet says it happens if battery charge goes below certain limit. Mine it went down to 24%
[HTC One V] alifa:
It happened to me when my battery level was 14%. now I have to pay 200$ for repairs. (because I live in Iran.)

HTC ONE V dead

Hi My HTC one V just died , I didn't know how it was happened . 10 minutes before I made I call and just after sometime It stopped working .

Even it is not charging at all, mobile is out of warranty. don't really know what to do ..

Any suggestion would be appreciated .

So that means if I have the correct rom files in Odin, either the phone will be flashed (if I have the download mode), or nothing will happen (if I don't have the download mode). Right?

Because when I press the button combination for the download mode. I didn't have any display on the screen. However, the phone can still be recognized by the computer and Odin.
