[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] art.vzqz:
EDIT: Man I'm stupid!!!!

I forgot to Relock my bootloader before running RUU. Got it figured out now. I'll just leave this here in case anyone is as stupid as me, they'll be able to self-diagnose!

And for those that don't care to search, the command is

fastboot oem lock

Thank's for looking! :o

ORIGINAL POST:

Hello all. I noticed a couple days ago that my beautiful new evoLTE had quite a few really bright, irregular pixels. I tried to ignore it, because I've done so much over the last two weeks making it my own, that I really didn't want to take it back for a replacement. You can only really see them on light colored, or white backgrounds with the screen at an angle.

Try as I might, I just can't stop focusing on them. So I decided I would take it back. I purchased it through Best Buy, and I also got their Black Tie service, and being that it is a hardware not software problem, I didn't think it would matter, but I decided to unroot and relock the bootloader just in case anyway.

I had flashed viperROM, so when I went to Software Information to find out which RUU to download, I couldn't find the information I needed. I opted for 1.13.651.1. RUU was unable to verify the ROM image and failed, so I tried 1.12.651.2 instead. No luck. I thought maybe a factory restore first would solve the problem, so I booted into TWRP and did just that. After it finished, I rebooted, but it just hung up on the viperROM boot screen. Waited for 15mins, just in case it needed that much time, but it never did anything but flash red....

So I rebooted into recovery and restored the first nand I made of the stock rom right after rooted and flashing TWRP, before I first flashed viperROM.

Rebooted no problem. SuperUser was back, obviously, so I removed it again, rebooted, and tried to RUU 1.13.651.1. again. This time I could actually check the Software Information screen to verify the version.

The process got a little further this time, actually rebooted my phone and sent the rom to it, but it fails every time it tires to verify the signature. I get an ERROR [155].

This is what the ReadMe says about it:

ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR

One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.

So I tried to download RUU again. The MD5 checked out on the original, so I didn't think it would help, but I tried it anyway. The new file's MD5 checked out as well, but it still failed at the exact same part.

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I have checked that drivers are loading in Device Manager when the phone reboots into bootloader. And I think I have the right drivers, they are the same ones I installed to run the one click root bat. I'm completely stumped. I'm about to try and reroot and unlock the bootloader again at it is, then try to run RUU again to see if that fixes it, but after that, I'm completely out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions for me??

Hi. I am very satisfied with my HTC ONE X. There is just one thing bothering me: It seems to be impossible to display the new arriving mails on my Lock Screen (Productivity). Missed calls, new text messages and my calendar events are no problem, but there is now way to get the new mails on that screen. The settings are correct, but I still don't unsterstand why it doesn't work....

Waiting for HTC support is like hoping for Jesus to appear in front of you ...

By the way, I am using the official Gmail App for my mailing. I also read in another forum that the HTC guys are not to blame: The problem would be coming from Google...

So, what shall I do, did I miss something ?

Does anyone have an idea to help me out, would be highly appreciated ! :)
[HTC One X] SolusCado:
Are you using a third party launcher? I have found that the Rosie launcher needs to be running in memory for the mail notification to update on the lock screen. It doesn't however have to be your primary launcher. Just create a shortcut to it and launch it whenever the notification icons stop updating. I haven't taken the time to figure out if Android kills the launcher from memory or not during use.
[HTC One X] NotPotter:
If you go to settings > personalise > lock screen style then go to the productivity option and select settings if you go to the 'display mail from' option it will only allow you to select the accounts you have in the default mail app.

This is slightly odd though as the calendar display options allow you to display calendar items from many more sources that you have already configured (Facebook, Google etc.)

Just for clarification, I have a fully stock HOX.
[HTC One X] valrod:
Thank you for your replies guys. It has strictly nothing to do with thirdpard launchers, or with the settings. It simply doesn't work because it is not the default mail program I am using. Sad but true...
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I recently figured that out as well it won't show official Gmail app emails, you need to configure your gmail account into HTCs mail app which is not too bad for Gmail saying that.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
I wish lol. Likely not anytime soon. At least we're getting the official update if nothing. Funny enough, I bought this phone thinking we would get lots of ported ROMs, being so close related to the S2 series, but boy was I wrong :-P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
like in the other ics thread u started I said i would but sorta/extremely difficult without the device lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
I have been making efforts, but trying to keep them generally quiet. I am trying to build us an ICS kernel based on the kernel sources from the T989 release. It has most all of the bits that we need for our variant (our LCD panel code, earjack, etc), but it's obvious from attempting to build the thing that Samsung wasn't finished yet. At least, they weren't finished with the T769 code when they packaged up the T989 sources. I've already fixed a number of simple errors in the kernel code, but bigger ones are now holding me back.

I am not a programmer (and I keep saying this) but I am confident that with my other bits of experience, I'll be able to get a working kernel. Based on that, I am hoping that the architecture of CM9 and it's more official samsung_msm8660 base (thank you, T989 team and contributors) will make it easier to put together a build once we have a working kernel.

This phone is not without love. In as much as no one hears about it, I probably spend 50-60% of my free time trying to get something together for this phone, hitting dead ends or massive missing pieces down each road I take. An ICS kernel, which is what I am trying to build now, would be a massive bridge to get me much closer to point B from point A.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
What is the proper way ? I've looked online and people say differently. People say let your battery drop to 15 percent or a little under then fully charge. Then others say let the battery completely run out until the battery dies then fully charge it, but I heard letting the battery completely is bad and not necessary. So what exactly do people when when they say fully discharge or battery manufactures when then say fully discharge a brand new battery then charge?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
I should've probably put this in the Q and A area sorry
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
Down to atleast 3%. That's how I've done it for years. Every opinion differs though
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I always charge my phone when I know I will need a full charge, I never really cared about the battery percentage too much, but I do agree that there is no real wrong way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
It's my understanding that in order to properly calibrate a battery you must completely drain it.

From what I've gathered the battery needs to know what a "full charge" is and the only way to get a full charge is to be completely empty.

So following instructions from threads back on the MT4G forums I calibrate my battery by:

1. Letting it completely die.

2. Turning it back on just to make sure it dies again. And I do this til it won't turn on again.

3. Then charging it, while off, til it has a green light.

4. Then I unplug it, turn it on, turn it off and plug it back in til green.

Whether this really really makes a difference or not...well I can't say for sure

but my battery lasts longer than my sister's Amaze.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
same with me, I never bother with letting it drain fully, I did with my first phone, and a few months after I got it the battery was pooched, so from then on I never cared. plus with the cost of getting a replacement, or even aftermarket batteries like anker, not following procedure to drain then charge a battery is a no brainer for me.

But, if I did care, then I'd drain it fully, then charge it back up. the percentages on my phone aren't accurate anyway. Actually today I was playing blade master and I kept getting the battery warning, and it was pretty steady from 20 down to 5, then hung there for a while, maybe an extra 15-20 mins, then died. so percentages are approximate. a full drain and then full charge should do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
What the other guy listed in steps is correct, though I'll give you a heads up, the amaze battery is total ***** when it dies completely, so be prepared to have it plugged in alllllllll night for it to charge.

Just got my self a replacement, the battery ended up dying, took me four hours to move 8%, was about to go buy a replacement the next day, but I let it charge overnight, it's been remarkable since then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Thanks Dark, I love being called "the other guy".

I'm just messin...lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Thanks guys for all the feedback will give it a whirl and yea the amaze battery is tough haha.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol my bad bro, I was just too lazy to scroll up to look for your name.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgostom:
So, if you would care about calibrating, do you let it die and fully charge every time you flash a ROM? Or just the very first time when it's new?
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Seems every battery is different. I let mine die completely and then charge overnight, but had the green light after an hour and half. I let it stay on though overnight.

I personally didn't see a drastic difference.

A lot of folks day to wipe your battery stats as that helps. I have yet to try that.

Just kinda deal with the 8-12 hours I get on ICS. I used to get 12-16 with gingerbread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Wiping battery stats doesn't help, IMO, for the number of times I've tested it on a few devices. My results so far just shows that wiping it just fools the device to stay full longer than it should but after the battery passes the 90% physically it starts making rapid drops until it stabilizes somewhere around 50%.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Right now I'm letting the battery die. This is the life on 4g and listening to pandora lol wow. What awesome battery life this is with the brightness at 25 percent and a 2000 mah battery heh.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Hehe this is just funny.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
Well hey there guys. Would you like roaming options on your EVO LTE?

Here they are :)

Instructions and prepackaged apk coming up :)

NOTE: Also, the settings will look slightly different from the picture above. Roaming only is now below "Automatic" because before, the radio button would be ticked for "Roam only" when it was really for Automatic.

Known issues:

-Roaming radio button doesn't appear ticked when you tap it, but it is, and it works.

Flashable zip is below. Wipe dalvik please :)

ROM chefs feel free to include in your ROMs. No permission, credit, or anything else necessary.

HOW TO:

This will be kind of sloppy but there are really only 4 changes that are needed to get this working

Decompile phone.apk and navigate to \res\values\arrays.xml

Step 3: FIND:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_choices_sprint">
<item>Sprint only</item>
<item>Automatic</item>

ADD:

<item>Roam only</item>

FINAL RESULT:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_choices_sprint">
<item>Sprint only</item>
<item>Roam only</item>
<item>Automatic</item>
</string-array>

Step 4: FIND:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_values_sprint">
<item>0</item>
<item>2</item>
</string-array>

ADD:

<item>3</item>

FINAL RESULT:

<string-array name="cdma_system_select_values_sprint">
<item>0</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</string-array>

Step 5: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference$myhandler.smali and open with your editor.

Step 6: FIND:

.local v1, settingsRoamingMode:I
if-eqz v2, :cond_0

const/4 v3, 0x2

if-eq v2, v3, :cond_0

const/4 v3, 0x3

This is where it got kind of tricky on the EVO LTE. Basically, you will need to find a block of similar items, that go like this:

const/4 v3, 0x1

const/4 v3, 0x2

const/4 v3, 0x3

const/4 v3, 0x4

(THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE)

Once you find that block/group, change the one that says 0x3 to 0x1 then save and exit the file.

Step 6: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference.smali and open with editor:

This will be similar to the last step. Find that same block or group. The files are relatively small in size so it shouldn't take forever to navigate through them.

Once you find the block, once again change 0x3 to 0x1.

NOTE: There will be multiple instances of 0x3 in both files, you only need to change ONE of the instances and it needs to be among the group of const/4 v3, 0x*s.

Save and close the file then recompile the phone.apk, push to your phone, and hope for the best.

OK.....So i know i should prolly know this by now, but i gotta ask. I dont Roam at home or anything like that, but i usually work on the Western part of Mass, and i always seem to Roam when im in the heavily wooded area. What is the advantage of using this MOD? I mean, it seems pretty common sense to me, but i just wanna make sure im correct!! When its on "Automatic" does it continously look for a 3G signal when im Roaming? So when u select the Roam Option (from this MOD) is just strictly stays on Roaming?...TIA guys!!

Doesn't matter as your phone still scans around when the radio is idle always looking for SID that is higher up in priority. The EVDO radio does the same. Its just the nature of the beast. But as it doesn't find one the time between scans gets longer and longer. Kind of like the WiMAX radios did.

Thanks OMJ. I went into recovery, unmounted system, moved the phone.apk that you attached into /system/app and rebooted the phone. "Roam only" works great without force closing phone.apk.

Once I go into "Roam only", when I open the roaming options menu again, the radio button that shows the selection is completely gone ("Sprint only" or "automatic" show the selected option as enabled when you go back into that option). Not a big deal, just wanted to point out in case someone wanted to know.
