I also notice the wifi is not as strong as on my GSii, can't connect from distances where my GSii had 2 wifi bars. Poor quality on wifi calling which is probably related.

Notice that the dialer shows a different number to the one being called, wondering on a fix.

[HTC EVO 3D] ryan.ellison:
I heard that I may have to update the kernel on my EVO 3d with HBOOT-1.5 S-on. I have fully wiped my phone a couple of times and reinstalled with no success. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] notown775:
I had that issue with any ics rom. So I unlocked the bootloader with the juno method (s-off) and it stopped doing it
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
You have to flash the kernel for MeanRom ICS, since it can't use the stock GB kernel. I used Flash Image GUI(in the Play Store).

1) Open Flash Image GUI and go to your Mean Rom zip to flash the kernel.

2) Boot into recovery from Flash Image GUI.

3) Flash Mean Rom ICS and reboot.

Check out this video.

There are other ways of course like going to S-off, but since you are S-on, this should work.
[HTC EVO 3D] ryan.ellison:
I tried that and I'm still facing boot loop. Thanks very much for your help
[HTC EVO 3D] notown775:
Did you try fastboot flashing the boot.img file?
[HTC EVO 3D] ryan.ellison:
Yes i tried that as well. for some reason its still rebooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] notown775:
So your hboot 1.5 s-on... Hmm did you flash back to 2.17? Cause I say you try to get soff
[HTC EVO 3D] kc3:
I had the same exact problem, yep s-off is necessary in this case
[HTC EVO 3D] ryan.ellison:
Issue resolved. just had to flash a different kernel. Still S-on and its working perfectly with meanrom. Thanks everyone for your help
[HTC EVO 3D] PhillyPhoto:
What kernel did you end up going with?
[HTC EVO 3D] SlevinK:
get 4ext recovery, it has smart flash so you won't be having to use guiflash or fastboot.. and boot loops are common with 1.5 hboot
[HTC EVO 3D] Arceo85:
For the future i would recomend installing 4ext recovery its a recovery biult for evo 3d on s-on. It lets you upload difrent roms. You could by that app at the playstore. You shold really check it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] PhillyPhoto:
OK here's what I have have/have done:

HBOOT 1.50, S-ON

I used fastboot to flash 4ext 1.0.0.5 RC5 to the recovery so I wouldn't have to fastboot every time.

I also flashed "AnthraX-htcleak-rls1.zip" (within 4ext) which supposedly fixes reboot loops.

I would perform a "factory wipe" then turn on SmartFlash and then flash an ICS ROM (MeanROM 2.4, Clean ROM ICS RC2, Derp ROM BDM4.1, viperROM B3) and they all rebooted in one of three ways: as soon as I went to unlock, after sitting on the lock screen for about 5 seconds, or without the lock screen ever loading.

I got CleanROM Reborn (gingerbread) to load and I'm using that for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] gonk24:
First off, doing a factory wipe ins't enough generally. Grab superwipe from the first post of MeanROM ICS and flash that first. Do it multiple times to make sure everything gets clean. Then flash the ROM, and finally the AnthraX kernel.

1. superwipe

2. flash ROM

3. flash kernel

It your still have issues after this then you need to get your 3D s-off. Some just have trouble properly flashing the kernel with s-on on an ICS ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] PhillyPhoto:
OK, so here's what I ended up doing to get it to work:

Unlock the bootloader with the HTC tool

Flash the recovery using fastboot.exe with 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC5 (I had actually downloaded this on my phone prio to doing anything so I had the zip file with the .img file in it)

Boot in to 4EXT recovery and turn on SmartFlash

Flash the superwipe zip first

Flash the ICS ROM (in this case MeanROM)

Flash the Anthrax zip file

Reboot the phone and let it go through the setup and it was all set!

So the most frustrating part was unlocking the bootloader, because I misread some instructions at first, and it took me a while to realize I could flash 4EXT to recovery to I wouldn't have to keep booting to it through my PC, but it all worked out in the end. I'm now running ICS on my phone and it was still less of a headache than waiting for Sprint.

A lot has changed in the last year and a half or so since I rooted my EVO 4G. Thanks everyone!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLCollier:
I'm coming up to the end of my contract, so I'm in the market for a new (or at least different) phone. I currently have an HTC Desire, and I wanted the Streak not long after it was out - however I've been locked in contract...

My first thought was the Galaxy Note, but I can't get it for less than £35-£45 per month (if I want the phone for free or a reasonable price); the amount of minutes & texts I'd get for that price is crazy, I wouldn't even use half of it... I can't afford to buy the Note - or any new(ish) android phone - outright, but I could get the Streak at current eBay prices.

How well does the streak 5 handle newer versions of Android? Can it still hold it's own against more modern phones? Does the performance suffer? Do we actually have a working/stable ICS port yet? Are there any pitfalls with flashing/rooting?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinan33:
Streak is the best phone that you can buy,It is strong enough.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
no worry.. streak 5 is rock solid... it is still competitive in android market...

the performance does not suffer at all...

we have a pre-alpha ics right now...

if you afraid of any pitfall, i suggest you read all of the information available in the forum or get someone who knows how to do it properly... :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (InsertNameHere):
Go for it, pay about 10 pence though, on mine the PDMI socket just fell apart... so its a good device, but the PDMI socket is not mechanically sound at all, also the earpiece didn't work from brand new and meant it also had to go back for repair.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
The performance day-to-day will be on par with your Desire. I used a Streak for almost a year (much longer than I used any other smartphone). For me, the Streak is easily up there on the list of my all-time favourite devices.

There is not a stable, working ICS port yet. That said, performance under Gingerbread, with thanks to the small but very dedicated Development team here, is excellent for daily use.

Side-by-side with a Note, the Streak shows its age - no doubts about it. For what it is today though - performance is admirable. There are days where I still go back and try out a new ROM (I'll always keep my Streak), or daily-drive it for a week just for nostalgia.

If I'm honest, I've never enjoyed a phone as much as I did the Streak. It's nice to have all the latest bells and whistles, but if you can live with the form factor, you'll be very happy with it.

On paper it's not much of an 'upgrade', hardware- or software-wise. But in terms of usability and productivity, it will blow your Desire away.

Pick one up and give it a try. Prices these days are good. I don't think you'll be disappointed :good:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantomv50:
I have seen the note for £20.50 a month on orange but only 100 mins etc at cpw.

seen the streak on ebay ones going today for under £100.

You could try the Huawei G300 unlock is v cheap on ebay then giffgaff it.

I have one its nice mobile and 4" screen is very good, better then some High end one's I have had..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLCollier:
Cheers for the advice all.

Picked up a used Streak last night for £117 on fleaBay, which includes three cases (!) and a spare battery. It's still locked to o2, but I've already located the unlocking software. If I can't unlock it to my current network (T-Mobile), I'll just go to GiffGaff when my contract is up. I'd prefer Three though, as their monthly-by-month plan includes tethering, and no one else's does (though they are more expensive).

Now to sell my poor old Desire... *sniff*.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLCollier:
Currently using Longhorn 2.8. I have looked at using the CM7 build posted here, though; I don't like the default portrait lock screen and dialling screen - I have quite big hands, so one-handed operation of this phone is not a problem ;).
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salvator83:
Dell streak 5 been launched a little bit late at my country...:crying:, if I'm not mistaken, launch in Malaysia around April or Mei, 2011. I bought it in the mid of October, 2011 and still using it until now.

DS5 never disappoint me..:cool: The best ever smartphone i ever use, even though currently, i have Samsung Galaxy S II I9100G and LG Optimus 2X P990, but still DS5 still the best. The performance of the phone still good for daily use and for my point of view, didn't have so much different with other latest model out there...:good:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjayn1137:
I would say YES most definitly. I have had mine now since it first hit the shores in UK and with the number of devs working with the streak it has always managed to stay current.

I think Dell did not do enough to market the streak when it was first released and they did not do much to help devs in the way of support either, but the love for the streak has kept it current until now and I have to say Long May It Continue.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankquattrone:
My two cents. I moved to the US and got Sprint and their version of the GS2. I love that device. I'm in the UK for a month and I needed a GSM phone so I went back to the Streak. It's still a good phone but it's definitely showing it's age. All of this is compared to the GS2 which I think was the best phone from last year. First off, the Streak is heavy as hell. When I'm sitting at my desk, I have to take the Streak out of my pocket. It's just too heavy. Yes, the Streak has metal for the case and the GS2 is all plastic but the GS2 feels just as solid and and like half the weight. Performance-wise, the Streak is noticeably slower. I get pretty serious lag all the time. Lastly, the screen just isn't very bright and the reflection in sunlight is bad making it almost unreadable. I loved the Streak before and it's still a decent phone with all the developers improving it (I'm on Longhorn 2.8 btw) but honestly, it's 2 generations old now so to say it's still as good as what's out on the market now is just not credible. I dream about the Note 2 and will get that as soon as it launches. It's basically what Dell should have built as the Streak 2.

[HTC EVO 3D] maurimauri29:
mmm I wonder if Apple is already preparing another lawsuit against Samsung. After all they came first with their exploding iPhones!! :p
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
The link is broken but we all already know the article...

I'm 99% sure that this isn't samsung's fault but instead the user's. Also, the HTC One X has done this before.

See, all the of the damage was near the usb port. If a cheap charging cable shorts, this can happen easily. I know it said he never had USB plugged in, but he wouldn't get a refund if he said he was using a cheap charging cable so he probably lied. Also, why would the USB port randomly blow up and not the battery? It would be impossible for the USB port to blow up without a shorted/malfunctional charging cable inserted.

Maybe he really did have no charging cable in, if that's the case, it's a manufacturing defect.

If you're making hundreds of thousands of phones, you can expect one or two to be defective like that. And since this has happened with almost every phone (even our 3D's), you can't bash one manufacturer for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I'm much more inclined to believe this. The damage is too concentrated and nowhere near where I'd expect it to be if it was actually a heat problem. I'm glad Samsung rushed to shut him up to prevent any sort of media backlash, but I really, really don't believe that he had nothing to do with what happened.

Maybe not intentionally, at least.
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
No matter who the manufacturer is I could just imagine the shock of seeing an article like this and the mad rush of trying to cover it up or quickly put a different spin on the whole event especially this early in a release. I'm sure there is a whole lot of finger pointing going on. I know it's only one phone but if we see some more....
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
If he had it in an in-car holster (as stated) im pretty sure he had it plugged into the charger (using nav or something) so it prolly was a faulty charger. A USB port doesn't explode without anything plugged into it. Only the battery can explode which obviously that's not the case. My question is why would u spend money on the lastest phone and then shortchange urself buying a cheap Chinese car charger?

HIT THANKS IF HELPED
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dteth:
I wanted to post how I rooted my Samsung YP-GB1 for those that are having trouble. My galaxy is the Korean version, 16gb, 2.3.6 stock firmware, and has the KRKPC kernel.

1). Check your kernel in the about device section. It should have KRKPC in the title. Then go here to download the modified stock kernel:

(pspmaster.tistory.com/120)(your looking for build 39 at the bottom of the page).

2). Make sure the system drivers are installed, by simply connectiong to kies. Kies will install the drivers automatically when you connect your device to it. then make sure kies is closed before continuing.

3). Download odin3 and unzip and run program.

4). Make sure "Auto Reboot & "F.Reset Time" are checked. Check the box next to "PDA" and click the "PDA" button. This will allow you to locate the new downloaded kernel on you computer and load it!

5). Now before connecting your galaxy to your computer put it in download mode first. Hold the power, volume down, and home button at the same time. Once you see the downloading screen connect your device to your computer.

6). Once your device is connected, you will see a yellow box appear in the first "ID:Com" box in the odin software. You are now ready to click start!

7). Click start and let it do it's magic. The galaxy will reboot automatically after lots of text appear on the screen.

8). Then go to the "play Store" and download the "Tegrak Kernel" app. Open and scroll down to "enable rooting." Allow superuser permission and your done!

I would recommend if your new to this going to youtube and searching for "how to flash a kernel" and watch some tutorials before trying. Also, thanks to Tegrak and the developers who put so much time into making our android experience just that much better!!

Please remember I am not a developer and am not resposible if you mess your device up! I searched the forum for quite some time and asked questions before trying this, so please do the same if you feel reluctant to try!:)

I am very keen to root my Korean yp-gb1 32Gb device.

I would try the method suggested by the OP but in 'About device' and under 'Build number' it says "GINGERBREAD.KRKPH", which is different from the one stated.

My 'Firmware version' is 2.3.6 and the 'Kernel version' is 2.6.35.7.

I unsuccessfully tried 'superoneclick' and 'DoomLoRD's rooting programs. Then I learnt somewhere in the forums that the kernel needed flashing before this device could be rooted.

Would it be safe to try the procedure that this thread is dedicated to?

Can I get some help please?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rflores3686:
ok, this is my first post, and yes, i have googled for a day and a half and havent found anything similar, although it might be my wording. here it goes.....

i bought a MyTouch 4g Slide on craigslist and it was working. i started the rooting process using the revolutionary method. i discovered i couldnt get perm boot because of my hboot version 1.45.0013.

i moved on to try and root an alternate way, but wasnt sure how to proceed after getting temproot.

in the process i managed to flash the kernel (worst idea ever) in fastboot, which broke the boot process, it would power on, splash, then a black screen.

i then used the all in one tool by hasoon2000 v2.0 to flash the CM recovery, i could get to the recovery but nothing would happen when i selected any of the options (i think we all know why)

i searched and found stock recovery, kernel and system images and tried to flash them but no dice.

when booting it hangs at the splash screen, when i go into hboot and go to recovery, it reboots and then goes to recovery, but i see the download screen briefly then goes to a red triangle with an exclamation point over a phone.

the problem is, at least i think, is that i cant format \data and \system to flash the stock images i have.

any ideas?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
If you get recovery back on there. Trackpad is what selects options in recovery. Then you can wipe and flash whatever you want. Stop using power :D

And if your not rooted yet or whatever because the post is worded funny, you might want to follow on through with rooting so you can do a manual format of everything
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rflores3686:
you are a genius. i was able to get recoveyr back on there and wiped. trying to load the PG59img.zip now, well see how that goes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rflores3686:
no dice. still hanging at the boot screen.

im using PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.63.531.2_Radio_11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2_release_245247_signed.zip changed the file name to PG59IMG.ZIP, HBoot picks it up and loads. when you reboot, the t-mobile mytouch 4g slide screen hangs.

any other ideas?

update:

tried to flash from recovery. at first zip file would abort installation. this time i used update-cm-9.0.0-alpha4-doubleshot-signed.zip, renamed to update.zip. ran update install from recovery. it completed, upon restart, hangs at the same screen.

update2:

holy crap i got it!

i had to manually flash the kernel from the zip using fastboot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah s-on users have to fastboot flash the kernel somehow. I've never had to do it and never read up on it but I should have told you since I was aware. My bad but glad your running now

edit: i notice the thread is for the sensation, is there any difference in the process for the MyTouch 4g Slide?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You mean the thread that's in the MT4GS Development section? I don't know for certain if it works. I haven't bothered to unroot, gain an unlocked bootloader via HTCdev, reroot, then using juopunutbear. My unlocked-via-Revolutionary bootloader works just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Greamlive:
Hi,

If you lost your charger for the prime would this work to charge the prime too or the keyboard dock ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaG__WOWEHI
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
If you lost your charger, you would be better off buying a new one from a place like Office Depot (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/768723/ASUS-Power-Adapter-For-Eee-Pad/). It would be safer and it would probably be better for your the longevity of your Prime.

Something like the charger shown in the video might work OK for the Prime. I say "might" because the Prime expects 15v not 12v and generally won't enter "charging mode" from only 12v. However it will still charge the tablet, just more slowly than the original Asus charger.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] VivianC:
I build a charger for my car from a similar setup to what is in the video. I followed the directions that are in the ultimate accessory guide post. My charger switches to 15V so it charges at the normal rate. Mine also has a USB port so I can charge my phone at the same time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LowSky:
i got my second charger from ebay. cost me $15, its was a new in box asus transformer wall charger. Now i have two and dont worry about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
I dont think its the prime thats entering "charging mode" but rather the charger itself that gets thrown into "Charge Mode". There is a connection at the 40 pin connector that goes from ground back to the charger, i do believe THAT is what makes the charger output 15v instead of 5v so it doesnt fry your other USB devices.

There are many people who have used home made chargers for their prime. Look for a thread talking about the pinout of the 40pin connector and you can find more. Hope this helps.
