[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snsd:
Thanks for the responses. Sincerely appreciated. So, if I'm trying a different ROM, I need to do the factory reset, cache and Dalvik Cache wipes - and if just going to a newer version of a ROM, I can skip the factory reset - and go back and do the factory reset if problems arise with any apps. If I do experience issues with my apps, does that mean I just have to do a factory reset - or do I need to reinstall the ROM first and then do the factory reset...?

I presume the benefit of not doing the factory reset is that there is then no need to reinstall apps, fix settings...

When you say "Sometimes it is recommended to wipe /system too", which option is that in CWM or do I have to do that from my PC...?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aravindsagar:
If you get FCs with some apps while going to a new version of the ROM(without a /data wipe), try clearing the data of that app alone. That might help.

To wipe system, you can use the zip attached. It was provided with some ROM when there was an error in formatting /system automatically before the new rom installation. Just flash it like any other zip and it will format your /system.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emptyness:
You can use Titanium Backup to backup/restore your applications. Just be carefull with system apps, restoring data from different roms can cause fc.

Though it is already mentioned in above thread..i again remind you to NOT format the boot partition as this is one of the only few things which can brick your device while using cwm......

Are you sure it works with clockworkmod recovery???:confused:

show_progress 0.1 0

format SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.2 0

show_progress 0.2 10

This script has two problems in my opinion:p:

1.AFAIK this type of script format(amend) is not supported by cwm now.

2.When editing with n++ it shows CR LF at end of each line......

and "carriage return" line code is used in windows while unix uses LF (line feed) for it's text.....so there should be LF only.....i think:o

Please correct me if I am wrong as i am just trying to learn here.....:fingers-crossed:

[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
So I recently purchased an HTC Amaze, and I have a few questions regarding it.

I've seen quite a few topics about free replacement accessories (back cover, USB cable, battery, and etc), and I'm wondering what phone number I'm supposed to contact in order to receive them, since I'm in Canada, so the phone number may be different. Reason as to why I want these, is that my back cover is squeaking on the right side of the phone and having an extra battery would be nice to compensate for the poor battery life.

Something that I've noticed after using my Amaze for a few days, is that it will switch between HSPA and UMTS rapidly at pretty much any point in time. Basically, it switches between them all the time. Information of my phone is basically, I'm on Mobilicity with Stock ICS, unrooted, and S-On. I'm willing to provide any other additional information which would be helpful to fix this issue.

Being somewhat of an audiophile, I like to use the Equalizer app from Smart Android Apps in order to compensate for lack of bass and treble on my headphones. However, I noticed that the app in question has no effect on the music playing. The graph at the top of the app does not show music playing even though it is. I have already disabled all of the sound enhancements in the stock HTC music player, but the Equalizer still does not have an effect on the music playing. I have tried searching in the Amaze forum with no results, so I'm wondering if anyone has any idea as to why the Equalizer app does not work. Again, I am on Mobilicity Stock ICS and unrooted.

EDIT: Apparently, the Equalizer app works with the pre installed Google Play Music, so the issue seems like it is only isolated to the stock HTC music player, which I prefer over Google Play Music.

With the above average camera, I like to take pictures here and there. However, I I occasionally have problems with the camera software, where the camera generates a complete black/blank photo. I usually see this when there is a delay in taking a picture with flash enabled. Sometimes the LEDs will flash as normal, but generate the blank picture, and sometimes the LEDs will lag and stay on, and then generate the black photo. Does this issue happen with anyone else and is there a possible fix?

If anyone is able to help me out with at least one of these issues, or even all of them, I'd appreciate it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
1. You can get your replacement parts even in Canada, just look on htc's website for the contact number under support for your country

2. The device switching between H and 3G is normal as well, it's basically based on the coverage in your area, I'm using Telus stock so instead of saying 4G all the time, I get the constant switching as well, which I actually prefer knowing exactly what kind of coverage I'm receiving.

3. The equalizer probably wasn't made compatible for stock music apps, you can search around for other equalizers or simply get poweramp which has all you want, equalizer and music player in one :p

4. The camera issue is probably the cause of a bad update, I had this issue once when I first tried out Telus stock ICS, my device is originally t-mobile, but the bloatware annoys me so I switched to Telus software which is much smoother imo. Anyways, upon reflashing the update, the blank photo issue was gone, but here's another trick you can try since it's basically the camera I've been using, use the modded HQ camera, I've been using that ever since I reflashed, so to be honest I have no clue if the issue was fully fixed with a reflash but I've never had the issue since I've been using the modded HQ camera app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
1. The problem with Canada's phone numbers is that they only provide phone numbers for Carriers and Mobilicity doesn't happen to be on the list. Is it possible for you to help me look for a phone number, or is the US number that I've seen floating around suitable for use? (1-888-617-1113)

2. Ah, I see. I asked someone else about this issue as well, and it seems that it uses HSPA during active data use, and UMTS when there is a connection, but no traffic through it. That clears up that problem.

3. The odd thing is that the Equalizer app has worked on the HTC music player on multiple other versions as well on my HTC Panache (Glacier/myTouch 4G) under stock (Sense 2.1), and Sense 3.5 as well. I guess I just need to wait for an update to the app for it to support Sense 3.6 on ICS.

4. Reflashing the ROM isn't an option for me, at least until I root it, which I don't think I need to, as I'm satisfied with Stock. Could you please expand on the topic of the modded HQ Camera? I'm not entirely sure as to go about that.

P.S. Is there anyway to get rid of the screen bleed? I've read suggestions to use Screen Filter to disable the backlight on the keys, however Screen Filter does not work on the Amaze on ICS yet. This isn't terribly bothersome, and I could live with it without a solution, but I just want to see if there are any other ways to disable the backlight on the keys. It's fine if there isn't, I'm not concerned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
The same US number applies to Canada according to HTC site.

The hq camera mod is modded version of the stock camera uncompressing the images, hence increasing quality and it's a smoother one than the stock by a bit, but since you're not rooted, its not possible for you.

The only light bleed fix for ics is via speed Rom, but that's a custom Rom, you can check the bible thread, think gg had listed another method of fixing it there.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
1. According to the Canadian site, it isn't, but I'll take your word for it and use the US number.

2. I guess I won't be able to fix the camera without rooting then. I'll see if I can find the time to root my Amaze.

3. Pretty much the same as 2 then. No root, no fix. All right.

Thanks for all your help, Nightmare.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Rooting only takes a minute by the way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
Ah, so that's where the phone number is. I was planning to call the phone number that I found originally but it looks like you found the phone number that's actually supposed to be used. Thanks a lot.

I know rooting only takes a minute, but I only purchased the device a week ago and I plan to keep it. I don't want to risk my warranty with rooting yet. I'll research more on the Amaze's rooting procedure and see if it is able to be reverted without leaving a trace that it had been rooted in the first place.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Unrooting is simple, it's relocking the bootloader with s-on that leaves a trace, but it's all personal preference, don't do anything you won't be comfortable with.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
Relocking the bootloader leaves a trace? I'm pretty well informed on the nature of rooting, I just want to be able to unroot without having it known to the manufacturer or carrier that I rooted in the first place, in case my device requires warranty servicing.

Is S-Off required for rooting, or am I able to root without S-Off, as the nature of the wire trick worries me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You can root with s-on, what I meant by it leaves a trace is that with s-on when you lock the bootloader, it says "relocked", while with s-off, when you lock it, it says "locked" and then you can s-on as if you never did either, get the idea? Unlocking is required for root by the way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
So let me get this straight....

1. I can root with S-On.

2. If you relock the bootloader while it is S-On, it will say 'relocked'.

3. If you relock the bootloader while it is S-Off, it will say 'locked'.

Could you rephrase your statements? They are very confusing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Reboot your device into Hboot mode, as in turn it off, hold volume down button and power it up, see where it says "locked"?

Well when you're s-on, if you lock the bootloader, it won't say "locked" like it is now, instead it's gonna say "relocked".

If you s-off the device on the other hand and you lock the bootloader after unlocking, it will say "locked" exactly how it is right now.

Understand?
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
So you're saying if I lock the bootloader, even though it is already locked/S-On, it would say 'relocked'? Locking the bootloader when it is S-Off would make it display 'locked'?

If that's what you're saying, then the new bootloaders on HTC devices are pretty odd, but yes, I understand now.

So is S-Off required for rooting, and is the wire trick doing any permanent damage to the device, where I would not be able to have it fixed if it suddenly broke down?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
No no no, that would be your result IF you unlock it, if it's not unlocked now, why would you lock it back?
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
That was what I was wondering, but you stated that "Well when you're s-on, if you lock the bootloader, it won't say "locked" like it is now, instead it's gonna say "relocked"". Saying that if I lock the bootloader while I am S-On, it would say 'relocked'.

Okay, so finally...

1. If it is S-On, it will say 'locked'.

2. If it is S-Off, it will say 'relocked'.

...is the gist of what you're saying, right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Swap the results and you have your answer, this would be if you unlock the bootloader and root the device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
If I unlock the bootloader from S-On to S-Off, it will say locked.

If I relock the bootloader from S-Off to S-On, it will say relocked.

Correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Read the Amaze bible thread, the bootloader and s-on/s-off, are not the same. You're just changing everything I say around to suit yourself and not actually reading it properly, read over the past few post and take in every detail, if you don't understand a term, read the amaze bible thread, there's explanations to every term used daily here in there, if you don't find a term, google it, okay? Great.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
Okay, I think I understand it now. So the Locked/Unlocked/Relocked is a new feature of the HTC bootloader which I haven't seen before in previous HTC devices. Therefore, the cause for my misunderstanding.

So one more try...

With S-On

1. Unlocking the bootloader will display 'Unlocked'.

2. Relocking the bootloader will display 'Relocked'.

With S-Off

1. Unlocking the bootloader will display 'Unlocked'.

2. Relocking the bootloader will display 'Locked' as it originally did.

Is this correct? I'm sorry about my previous failures. I was unaware of the new feature added to the HTC bootloader on the newer devices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Excellent way of putting it, that is correct, you're no longer a n00b, lol.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
So how can I achieve S-Off without the use of the wire trick if such a method exists? The only method of achieving S-Off that I can find is through JuopunutBear S-Off, which requires the wire trick.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
That's the only method we currently have.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
All right , does the wire trick cause any damage to the device then? And is there a method to revert back to S-On if needed?

I couldn't seem to find any information regarding reverting back to S-On.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Won't do any damage if you read all the info before attempting and follow every step correctly, s-on after s-off is possible.

I just have one final question. Does a Mobilicity Amaze RUU exist?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:

[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
Oh, these were recently added then. All right thanks.

So in order to go from S-Off and unlocked, I need to first relock the bootloader, and then install the RUU to overwrite the bootloader with an S-On version, right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You lost me there...
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
Whoops, I meant from going S-Off and unlocked, to locked and S-On.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Read the other thread I posted on how to revert the process.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
BTW: Requesting boot loader unlock code from HTC site for your phone will invalidate a part warranty coverage.

I cannot tell what exactly they will deny.

Might be better ask for replacement parts (a battery) before you dive into unlocking...

Just IMO, of course... :o

Dark Nightmare,

Am I mistaken about it? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I believe you may be but only partially, many users, myself included, we have unlocked bootloaders and we all requested and received our accessories, BUT on the other hand, if your device has a hardware issue that requires sending it to HTC directly to be repaired, they will not fix it under warranty if the bootloader is unlocked, that's why we always tell members to lock/s-on devices before making warranty claims, because if carriers/HTC find the device is unlocked, they will charge for repairs/replacement.
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
If HTC finds that the bootloader has been unlocked and relocked (s-on), will they still charge for repairs/replacement?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
From what I read here and there, some say yes, some say no, but I prefer to be on the safe side and have it completely stock the way it was when I got it if it ever comes down to that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Thanks!

I'm planning to ask for battery replacement.

I read early, other we getting replacement USB cable.

What else could we ask, possibly? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Battery

Cable

Charger

Battery Covery

Ear buds if your box was lucky enough to have a pair.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Cool!

Did you get everything in "one shot"?

Does TMO ever gave Ear buds for Amaze?

And how HTC knows if I got them or not?

By Amaze serial number, I guess?

I'm not greedy, need just a battery, but still interesting to know what the options are... :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Some people were lucky enough to get them all in one shot, some weren't, when I called the girl said I could only request one at a time, upon receipt of that one I could call again and request the other accessory, they know what you receive via your devices serial number, that way they can tell what to send you since some companies even included an sd card in their boxes. I never got ear buds from T-Mo.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Ok. I gotta start calling than! :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Called today and nice lady in HTC support picked up right away.

I asked for replacement battery.

Explained, I run Amaze in safe mode and battery life is still not any good.

She said, she can certainly sand me new one, but I’ll need to send mine back in a week.

And I have to pay both way shipping.

I said, well, ok, what can I do? I need a battery still.

She said she needs a minute to talk to manager.

A moment later, she said, since it’s my first request, she is going to send it for free and I don’t have to return it. But again, it’s for first replacement accessory only. I didn’t ask for anything else since the battery is the only thing I really need.

That’s all.

Dark Nightmare,

I was wondering what was your experience?

Did they ask you to send not-working item back and who paid shipping cost (both ways)?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You aren't supposed to pay for shipping if you're still under warranty and it's the first replacement, that was bs telling you that, you are entitled to replacement of each accessory, one each once within the one year warranty of the device, which you obviously are within. When I called she sent me the replacement, shipping paid on their behalf, all for free, IF you have to send back the part you got replaced, then you pay return shipping, that's what the email I got told me, I didn't need to return the battery cover I had, but others have said that when they requested replacement batteries they had to return the old ones, she's probably new or something. I talked to a really sweet chick when I called, I so wish the bus I was in wasn't so noisy, I would've gotten her number too and not just her doing me a favour and sending me what I wanted and not what I was supposed to get, :p.

So i've been using my Nexus S 4G for 6 months and I've only flashed CM7.

I remember I've read about the back button problem somewhere and people said it is common in Nexus S.

But I never experienced it during those 6 months flashing CM7, not even once.

Not long ago, I flashed NexusMV ROM because of the supercharge tweak sounds pretty awesome, right after i passed the lockscreen, I experienced the first ever back button symptom, and it would go on every 15 min or so.

So I flashed back to CM7, and i am still experiencing the said symptom, but not that often.

i'm just wondering if anyone, who has been on stock or CM exclusively and never flash anything else, has experienced this symptom?
