Right now I'm using CM9 on my HTC Status/ChaCha. It's really good and quite stable, but I am wondering, would it be hard to port jelly bean? The offline voice dictation is really useful and I just installed an alpha version of JB on my atrix 4g

battery life on cm9

if i have all radios on, i think i'll get 3 hours with average use. normally i can stretch this out to 6 hours or so. ondemand power setting, cpu clodked to 800mhz max. anyone else seeing this really poor battery performance?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
All radios on?! What does that mean?

Also I have my CPU set to 600, which drains less power so it lasts longer.
[HTC ChaCha] jumpinglewis:
meaning wifi/bluetooth/cell/gps is all enabled. maybe i'll try 600 mhz and see if that helps.

also, does anyone know if the 20120724 build fixes the known esn keyboard issues? just wanted to know if there would be a point in flashing. thanks!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It should be fixed, check the change log.

Some guy wrote this in the OP apparently:

[HTC ChaCha] jumpinglewis:
i did read that. it didnt list english keyboards, so i wasnt sure...

Two further problems with the end of July release:

- The gallery video player can't play the video files the camera has written

- Accounts ignore global synchronization setting - this is actually a bigger problem.

Reproduce: Menu -> settings -> accounts and synchronization -> sync on/off - the account synchronizes regardless of the setting when connected to the Internet. The power widget mirrors the option setting correctly.

HBOOT update required

hello all,

i am trying to root my HTC chacha and when i selected the device at the htc dev it says hboot update required but does not guide on how to get an hboot update. Can anyone please guide me on how to get the hboot update.
[HTC ChaCha] MEAKU15:
hi,

im sure this will help you. i had problems before but no successfully unlock , rooted and flashed

look at the last entry, i've given links where u can get the information u required.

First, read the thread title and you will see that this thread is about cm9, so this question is not appropriate for this thread.

Second, many people are asking how to unlock bootloader, and it is explained many, many times. Use the search function, read a little, don't bloat the forum with the same questions over and over again.

Third, follow MEAKU15 link to the thread that will help you.
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
And two more bugs that are especially painful when roaming or in a border area:

Summary: Can't select cellular network manually

Workaround: use automatic mode, but that defeats the purpose

Reproduce: Menu -> system settings -> Wireless & Networks / More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network operators

Got: A modal popup appears with a "Searching" animation, and after 10-15s it disappears without showing any choice dialog. Selecting "search networks" on the same screen repeats this behavior and produces a toast that says "Error while searching for networks.".

Expected: Network selection screen

One extra piece of info is that mobile network search in my area sometimes can take some time, it can be much more than 10-15s on other phones.

Summary: Mobile data appears to be turned on while in a roaming network, even though roaming data is switched off

I haven't actually checked if it sends any data (to avoid extra costs), maybe it just shows up as connected but in reality it's not
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
So, mdbs

You apparently tested Nofficial CM7 too, what do you prefer, the mods or yet, the Stock rom.

thanks for your time.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
When I have a custom ROM on the phone I wonder how to connect to HTC Sync or Moborobo. They always say "No phone connected"... Any idea?
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
I didn't try CM7, just stock and CM9 - my apologies if I implied that anywhere.

The stock rom was ok and as far as I remember nearly everything worked, but mail synchronization didn't, especially with MS Exchange. I quite liked the HTC apps, since sometimes they offered more functionality than the default android ones. The current CM9 build runs relatively well but there are problems, as you see, outlined above in this thread. If you can live with them, and with occasional weird behavior I suggest you try it. (I certainly haven't reported everything here, like apps being killed too often).

I guess some of my gripes have to do with Android itself: for example in ICS there's silly stuff like not being able to sort the mail or not being able to search unless connected to a server. Dedicated apps should fix some of that, but not all.

Overall I recommend ICS, based my humble experience.
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
Thanks for your reply mdbs,

Actually, Link2sd, holds me from testing another ROM, but i know, time is moving, and new apps will require t he new Os, till then ;).
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
I wouldn't be sure how to handle that on cm9 + chacha. Maybe somebody else has feedback on link2sd, simple2ext, or another method to move apps?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
I'm afraid you can't.. HTC Sync has some detection mechanism, probably related to HTC Sense/kernel or who knows what.

It's probably a way to minimize stupid (beginners) questions in the development section..
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
In case anybody wonders, I used a method conceptually similar to the one in this thread to run Simple2Ext on CM9 on the ChaCha. Please note the text below is not a guide, just an account of my experience.

I actually installed link2sd first and mounted the 2nd partition from the SD card as ext4 in link2sd. Rebooted, then uninstalled link2sd and installed S2E, all from the play store. For some reason link2sd wanted to mount the 2nd partition in /data/sdext2 or something like that. That was fixed by editing the /etc/init.d/11link2sd script so that the 2nd SD card partition is mounted in /sd-ext as S2E expects. After that and a reboot S2E takes care of the rest (i.e. mount -o bind of the 2nd partition to various places like /data/app etc, as well as the preceding move of apps and so on). It might also be possible to just set an environment variable to control where S2E looks for the sd-ext card, but I didn't try it and opted to edit init.d scripts instead.

In S2E, only the app move option was checked, and after reboot this option remains checked and greyed out, so it's not possible to move apps back to main memory in my case (I'm not sure if it's expected). No complaints about a "reboot required".

Lessons learned:

- partitions larger than approx 2GB didn't want to work with S2E

- ticking the ext4 option in S2E settings corrupted my sd-ext ext4 partition - I recreated it as ext2 on Windows using minitool partition wizard home. Later for some reason it got converted back to ext4 somewhere along the process, but then the S2E ext4 option remained switched off.

- So far so good, no errors. CWM backs everything up nicely
[HTC ChaCha] jut703:
Hello, I just got my Chacha yesterday, and admittedly, this is my first foray into the whole Android ecosystem and I've got absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

Somehow, I've managed to install ICS on my device, through the HTCdev unlock, CWM, and finally CM9.

However, I've run into a few keyboard related problems. I downloaded CID Getter, though I really didn't know how to use it. I just read through all the data it showed, and eventually found a CID that looked like the one from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1456154

The CID that I found was HTC_016, and as indicated on the thread, it pointed to "none". I take this as there isn't a suitable ROM for my CID. Am I correct in this? If so, what should my course of action be? Do I try each one?

BTW, I'm from the Philippines and the closest country among the list is Hong Kong. Not sure though if the mappings are the same, since HK's primarily a Chinese country with a completely different language.

The problems I've encountered so far are as follows:

1. When I click FN + Y, I should be getting the "@" sign, but instead I get the "£" sign.

2. When I click FN + P, I should be getting the "~" sign, but instead I get the "@" sign.

3. When I click FN + ".", I should be linked to the camera, but instead I just get a semicolon ":"

4. When I type a number on the home screen, say, 7, which is also the Z key, it's the Z that pops up, as opposed to 7. I have to click FN + Z for the 7 to come out. When I was running Gingerbread, it automatically typed in 7.

Thanks for any help :D

EDIT: I downloaded the Hong Kong zip. Then I placed it on my SD. I turned the phone off and booted into CWM, then I ran the zip. The phone installed it, then I restarted, then the blue guy came out, then I got to my home screen.

However, nothing happened. My @ sign is still a £ sign, and I still can't type numbers directly on my home screen. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Uh-oh, I've tried installing 2 other zips (tai and steng), and now my 0 doesn't work. I reinstalled the HK zip, but my 0 still doesn't work (it did a while ago before installing the other 2). Any tips how I can get this fixed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevierayvaughan:
So I just need a way to tap the phone once or twice when it sits in the holster while I'm driving and call/text via voice. I really don't need all kinds of extra crap like searching and launching music players, my phone is 95% for business and I am driving most of the time while on the phone (and have no internet connection).

Is S Voice the best option? I'm fine to keep using it, but just checking if there are better alternatives. I suppose my main concern is the battery drain of S Voice but I'm not sure if that's valid, if it is a drain or not, that's just from reading anecdotal posts around here and other forums.

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
When driving s voice works for me for texts and calls, though with one issue. I use a motorolla bluetooth fm transmitter and drive a noisy diesel van, so the mike has a bit of trouble picking me up perfectly. sometimes it gets it right, sometimes wrong. Though this is mostly with the message of texts. Getting the right contact or dialing the right contact seems to work ok. But it only gets the message right half the time. Just the noisy van interferring there. If I do it just with the phone it gets it right most of the time.

I haven't tried anything like vlingo with it, but really s voice is just vlingo isn't it? With my old s1 things like speaktoit, etc etc worked ok but certainly no better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevierayvaughan:
Thanks for your feedback! I suppose I am just curious about battery drain, especially since in the S Voice settings for wake up command it even says so right there (that it will cause battery drain).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
I have no experience with this stuff really, but I don't think battery drain would be too much of an issue. I mean, s voice is not running spill the time. Only when you double tap the home button, or, like me, have it set to wake up on the lock screen. It doesn't seem to be running permanently in the background.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmajd:
Hello everybody

The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:

Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version

Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON

carrier unlocked

HBOOT 1.49.0008

OS is rooted
[HTC EVO 3D] jpags5:
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] EmerJency:
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

[HTC EVO 3D] rapidus:
Same problem but whit s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.

Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
[HTC EVO 3D] wikkid:
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.

I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.

It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.

Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.

Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.

1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmajd:
Alright thanks a lot
[HTC EVO 3D] jpags5:
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
[HTC EVO 3D] The Troll:
i switched to stock like.. a week back?

jus got ota on 4th

i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*

so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..

used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
[HTC EVO 3D] fdespotovski:
Possible sollution

Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] cocothecoco:
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
[HTC EVO 3D] terwax:
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.

If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmajd:
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Davideichler7:
Hi

I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.

It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update :(

It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.

I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again :( I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 :) HTC ftw
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmajd:
Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] seventieslord:
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?

The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.

I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"

Hello everybody, I got my Sensation few months ago as a replacement for my G2 and now im thinking to root it. Now I see there are a few threads on how to root it (S-Off) but Im not sure which one to follow. I rooted my G2 before and it looks like Sensation would be easier but I just want to make sure.

If somebody would direct me to the right thread where its proven to work I'd appreciate it, I would prefer to root it without unlocking the phone, but if its easier I wouldnt mind.

I got stock ICS 4.0.3 with sense 3.6

[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
I'm moderately new to the XDA world and I have a few questions that I decided to ask in my own thread, as to follow rules of courtesy: Does anyone know the expected release date of Joelz's latest ROM? I believe it is supposed to be Charmander? Secondly, does anyone know if developers will be able to replicate "Google Now" from Jelly Bean and incorporate it future ROMs (I imagine that it isn't beyond the capabilities of the Rezound)? Finally, will the Rezound be able to realize "Near-Beam" technology to transfer data?
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
First rule of XDA don't ask for ETA's on ROMs, they get released when they get released and its considered bad etiquette to ask.

Devs are already working on Google Now and again refer to the first rule as to if and when it will be ready.

Near beam needs an NFC chip which the Rezound does not have so no you will not see it here any time soon.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Joelz is on hiatus, so no eta in the near future. Believe me, you will hear about it if/when he returns to developing. I have no answers for your other 2 questions. Enjoy XDA.

No he quit the rezound, he sold/ is selling it

And as far as I know yea, you may be right but who's going to stop him? I'm extremely disappointed that he dumped us for the piece of crap phone and I hope he regrets it down the line. Like everyone else who is following him
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Nothing. Just makes me lose more respect if that is possible. All that time he kept telling us to donate rezounds to team bamf and then he goes around and instead of doing so himself, sells the rezound to cushion his own pocket.

I used to be such a crackflasher back in the inc days when development was booming

But now I couldn't care less, I tried the gnex to see if that would bring it back but there's no excitement in that forum. this phone has so much potential, but no one wants to step up to the plate and bring out the beast in this phone
