[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
I've been searching this form for an hour or two now and still haven't found my issue, so here goes.

Just got an HTC Inspire 4G off of ebay and it arrived today.

The seller had mentioned that the phone was freezing / rebooting, but I figured.. that's because he's not running cm7, right?

Charged and booted up the phone and it turns out that the problem was a little worse than I first expected. I only experienced occasional freezing, and it only rebooted once, but there is a worse problem.

The phone loaded up fine, looked good, but tapping around on the home screen I got messages alerting me that system apps (htc sense, launcher, and even com.android.phone) had stopped responding or had shut down.

I hit the menu and go to settings. I scroll down the list and the entire list goes black. I hit home and it goes to a home screen, but with no launcher or icons. Basically, every few taps, the interface goes out. If you are on a menu it blacks out, if you are at home or press home after the menu blacks out you will get anywhere from pieces of icons / widgets to just a blank desktop. The live wallpaper even keeps going, but all of the interactive stuff quits. The disappearing menus didn't usually give app closed messages, they just went black. The home screen only gave app closed messages sometimes.

I thought this was a software problem, so I managed to root the phone and flash cm7. Everything booted good, but it still had the same problem of weird disappearing menus and home interfaces. I went ahead and flashed gapps and got the little intro thing about setting up my Inspire 4g that starts when you first boot your phone. I clicked through that but when it gets to connect wifi, the phone entirely freezes and I have to pull the battery.

I flashed inspiremod and nothing changed, tho that's for something else, so I'm not sure that's entirely relevant, but I was trying everything I could think of.

I'm definitely no expert on hardware, but it almost sounds like a ram problem, like it doesn't have enough to keep all of the interface going all the time and shuts it down or shuts parts of it down to work.. but I don't want to believe that. I'm really hoping that it's a software problem.

I got the phone at a good price and it came with an otterbox, so I won't be too disappointed if I can't get it fully functional, but it would still be a bummer.

Any help / advice / suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys!

EDIT: I cleared the cache / dalvik cache before flashing / reflashing cm7, which I did once or twice

EDIT 2: Now if I leave it on the intro screen where it freezes it reboots after a minute or so. Gonna try flashing a different mod.. see if that helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
That was a long post. But it was good, you gave a lot of info.

The cm7 zip that you downloaded, check the md5 checksum, make sureit matches whatever is in the op (first page) or wherever the md5 is, maybe where you downloaded it from. If it doesn't, download again.

Then,

from recovery,

Wipe data/factory reset.

Wipe dalvik

Format all partitions(except sd card)

Flash zip/rom.

Check if it works. If not, try using it without the sd card. If not, come back and report.

[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I check the md5, and it's good. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik.. I'm unsure what you mean by format all partitions except sd card. I don't think I know how to do this with clockworkmod.

Started up without sd card and it still has the same problem. Looks great until I touch the screen, then everything disappears except the wallpaper.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
Reboot in recovery and do it from there. You'll find format all partitions at the bottom... well, maybe. Cwm has an option to reboot in recovery, and I think if you press and hold the power button, select reboot and it will also ask you if you wantto boot into recovery. Cant remember if cm7 has it, it should.

After you wiped those, flash the rom. Stay in recovery and search for fix.permissions. Reboot.

[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
Just did that and re-flashed cm7, but the phone was still having the same problems.

I then repeated the process with a MIUI ICS rom and it seemingly worked for a little bit. I got a "Maps has stopped working" message, but I was able to slide back and forth through the home screens, and the menu came up. After I tapped though the menu a bit it started being weird again, but with MIUI the weirdness is different. It looked like the screen was divided up into 20 something smaller screens tiled across the display with messed up looking bits of screen in them.. weird..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
If you are wiping correctly then I am out of ideas. I would say try a GB rom, however that is a strange issue and just might be a hardware problem. Tough, Im not sure.

Sent from a dream.
[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
I've tried cm7, which is 2.3, and I've tried a 4.0.4 MIUI build and one other sense rom that didn't work well at all.

I'm wiping and flashing the same as I did on my LG p509, which works beautifully with cm7.

If it is hardware, hopefully it's something simple like the battery, and not bad RAM or anything serious..

Maybe if I keep at it I'll get it.

Thanks for all the suggestions! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
Np. Keep us updated.

[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
I ordered a new battery for it, and that fixed the random reboots, which had been occurring more frequently, but the other problems were still there.

I flashed and re flashed and formatted and reinstalled a bunch, but still no luck. I then decided that I might take it by the local cell phone repair shop and see if they could fix it.

In preparation, I used aahk to flash the stock ruu with everything how it was when I got it. After booting it up, it seemed to be working ok.

I still get the occasional menu glitch, but it's so infrequent it's not an issue.

The phone still freezes up quite a bit when I'm using it, but it's nearly a useable device now!
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Have you tried changing out the sd card? Having a bad sd card can cause all inds of odd issues
[HTC Inspire 4G] awkwardcheesecake:
I booted it without an sd card before and couldn't tell the difference, but it had a lot more issues than just freezing then.

I haven't tried it since those other issues have stopped. I'll try that when I get home from work.

Hi!

I got a cheap Prestigio PMP3370B tablet with 4.0.3. Everything working fine on this tablet, but the lockscreen ring is not circle but oval. Icons are also oval, for example browser/chrome icon looks like an egg. Why is this? Is possible to fix it? Is it because there is no density specified in build.prop?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbatti73:
Hi all,

I'm using an LPM Rom 4.0.4 and normally I use an updater-script like this to manage some operation.

Using CF-Root LQ5 5.6 I've no problem, but with Dorimanx 5.3 the script exit with "nothing" and the

ui_print( getprop("ro.build.pippo") );

show me spaces.

Obviusly in my build.prop I've the string ro.build.pippo=pluto

ui_print( getprop("ro.build.pippo") );
ifelse(
getprop("ro.build.pippo") == "pluto",
(
ui_print(" find pluto ");
),
(
ifelse(
getprop("ro.build.pippo") == "miky",
(
ui_print(" find miky ");
),
(
ui_print(" nothing ");
)
);
)
);

Thanks in advance for any idea.

P.s.

I've tryed also using a

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");

before the first ui_print, but no luck.

Ciaoooooooo

Hi

I need help to understand which is better Samsung Tablet ...

1. There is the P5100 with a

Processor:	1 GHz Cortex-A9 Dual Core

Graphics:	PowerVR SGX540

OS - Ice Cream Sandwich

Screen : 10.1

and then there is

2. Tab 750 with a

Processor:	1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9

Graphics:	ULP GeForce

Android 3.1 (Honeycomb)

Screen 10.1

The only hardware diff i could figure out other than the processors was the front facing camera of .3 mp in p5100 compared to 2mp in tab 750.

Can anyone advise based on their experience which one I should go for.

Both are Wifi + 3g .

Thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gutrrob:
Yesterday I got my replacement phone (New one not refurb) and noticed my software version is 1.13.651.1

It looks like the latest version!

Radio version: 1.02.12.0427

PRI version: 2.28_003
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
1.13.651.1 is the stock ROM that was released with the phone. Consider yourself lucky if you want to root and unlock, because this version you can root, unlock and S-OFF. Don't take the OTA update if you want to root, unlock and S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gutrrob:
I thought the stock Rom was: 1.22.651.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
That the one that just ame out 2 weeks ago. He right. If u wanna root without ease, run your S-Off now, then flash the firmware. Or else u won't be able to S-Off if u accept the update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Lower number means earlier build
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
So the new one can't root, unlock and S-Off yet?

I thought it was possible. Hmm.. maybe I gotta read more.

(Reason why I'm curious is because I want to return my phone for a new one. The 3G on my phone SUUUUUUCKS compared to my brothers. But now yo're giving me things to worry about. =[ )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
If I am not mistaken you can still unlock through htc and root but you won't be able to get s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gutrrob:
It is an early build! I got the 1.22.651.3 notification...I declined (Root baby)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
In that case, I'm not so worried about it.

I don't need S-OFF on this phone anyway, as you can flash Kernel even with S-ON on this phone.

Thank you friend.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vlatinlove:
http://support.sprint.com/support/a..._box=evo 4g lte update&id16=evo 4g lte update

That is the official updates for the phone from sprints website, but just found out reading through here to not update to the latest if you want to s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
I don't think this is true anymore - I'm pretty sure the new hboot in the update prevents flashing kernels when s-on htc unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] noob_2010:
to stream videos from windows 7 to my ps3?

not using the internet just using the prime's hotspot feature
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grivy:
Why do you want to use the tfp as hotspot instead of just setting up an ad-hoc connection on your windows 7 machine and connect your ps3 directly to it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nextelbuddy:
I don't understand why someone would want to use the prime as a hotspot. it as no cellular data and any device you would point to your prime could obviously hook up to what ever wireless ap your prime would have. am i missing something here?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] noob_2010:
? again, I want to stream media from my laptop on to my ps3. I notice the prime has a hotspot feature so me not being tech swavy I figured I connect the laptop to the prime and the ps3 to the prime to share media :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grivy:
Like I said you don't need the prime your laptop has a hotspot feature as well. Just go to the network center add a connection create an ad-hoc connection give it a name and password done. Now connect your ps3 to the network and start streaming.
[HTC One X] lssong99:
Just read somewhere that it's possible to root with locked HOX (and won't change lock status). The restriction of this way is only "modded" RUU matches your device's CID could be flashed.

The main purpose of this is to remove blotwares as well as run things like Market Access which requires SU. good enough for me.

However, does this way really works for HOX?

The steps are:

1. Download the original RUU whcih match your CID

2. Need to use Ubunto and "ext4_utils" to un-compress the RUU, then edit "system.img" to add in su binary, chmod, and remove unwanted boltwares

3. Repackage the RUU and sign it with test key

4. Flash through factory default recovery. Since the RUU's CID matches the one on the phone, so it will flash. The signature of RUU will not be checked.

There's a lot of works to do so just want to know if this is authentic before jumping in...

Cheers!

MAY be possible. but from what i've seen throughout my life, no devices has ever gained permaroot while locked and s-on

[HTC One X] BenPope:
Why do we need S-Off if this works?

Oh, nobody has a test key to sign it with.
[HTC One X] wph:
But you can't sign it. The content of the RUU has changed, so the keys won't work anymore.
[HTC One X] lssong99:
Thanks for the inputs. Yes, it would be temproot, but my need is only to remove bloatware as well as run market access, temproot is good enough...

Too bad It's not possible. On some Chinese website people "claim" It's workable and they say it can be signed with "anykey"...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but you are all so kind to answer my questions!

[Member-Found Deals] Solar.Plexus:

[Member-Found Deals] dandog96:
Feedback

Feedback doesn't mean as much as you think. I recently saw something similarly attractive, a 32gb usb flash drive for like $14, and the guys feedback was like 99.2 or something, but when I got the card which also was shipping from China the actualy memory chip had been cut out. I looked the seller up on Google and got a load of scam complaints. I truly wonder though, how they have such great feedback...

[Member-Found Deals] GMAN1722:
I think a lot of times there are those that purchase items like this and don't even realize that they have been scammed and thus the good feedback. I mean I know a lot of people who just buy the products based on price and are not aware of how the product should function. for example it doesn't matter (because they don't know the difference) if it's a class 10 or a class 4 as long as their pictures are on it, to them it works as advertised and then give good feedback. Many may not even check or even know how to see if the card actually has as much memory as it should. the only thing that matters is that the price is right and that they received it ahead of the estimated delivery date (I once heard my daughter express surprise that she received a phone case way ahead of said date and would give a good feedback based on this)

it's a scam. there were deals like this back on February. Me and my friend spent like almost $100. i lost my money. my friend got his money back from paypal.

They sent us no memory card, instead usb card readers. Please be careful!!! I learned my lesson
[Member-Found Deals] rhd-android:
I bit the bullet and bought + paid for this. Not counting on it to be 64gb of course. However, while I've been burned by China before, I've also received the occasional unexpected gift.

I remember that I used to have a tool that could A) write a whole USB drive's memory, and report back it's true capacity, and B) modify the capacity declaration to more accurately reflect the drive's actual size.

I'll take a look and see if I can track this software down again, and I'll report back with my findings.

I think the XDA member demographics probably trend toward being a pretty astute tech-buying crowd. I doubt anyone will misinterpret the OP as an endorsement of that particular eBay auction.

If you're a frequent ebayer, and stay on top of timelines, then it's pretty low-risk to order stuff like this. The eBay and Paypal dispute systems work fairly well for buyers. Truthfully, most Chinese sellers will settle a complaint before it even gets to that stage. They seem to be very intent on avoid negative feedback, and preventing Paypal claims. In my experience, most Chinese sellers don't want to go through any kind of formal return process. I think their mentality is just to move on, push more product, and sell-sell-sell. They'll generally offer some sort of compensation for a product that doesn't work, or even just outright refund your purchase if you agree not to leave a negative feedback. Even if that isn't the case, eBay and Paypal are good about handling disputes over fraudulent items, and I doubt that you would ever be made to pay for tracked shipping back to China.

Where most people run into trouble, is that they let more than the 45 day dispute window elapse, or the wait beyond the point where negative feedback can be issued (at which point, most Chinese sellers on eBay don't care about your complaints). =

Instead of closing the thread, maybe the OP could more explicitly warn everyone about the likely fakeness?
[Member-Found Deals] Dogtag:
SanDisk 64 gb for $16.99, if it sound too good to be true, IT IS. Goddamn when will you M.F. learn. I've bought so much stuff from china, cheap and expensive never been burned. you need to know whats real and whats not(how do you know: if it sound too good to be true, IT IS) . If it was priced around 40 or 30 dollars (20 to40% cheaper compared to global prices I would believe it. but nearly 70% cheaper....

If you know anything about electronics you should know that the margins on memory chips are extremely low at the moment.. could be theft... well if you like that buy it, karma is a *****. Do some research, before buying any thing: example in china a 1ghz dual core cortex a9 always means 2x 500mhz cores. a 256GB USB stick (are expensive and hard to get) on ebay @30 dollars: means a usbstick put on infinite loop copying. meaning you need to be glad if it turn out a 256mb file fits.

I expect more from people visiting these kinds of sites (i'm often disappointed), leave this threat open as a warning to the wannabe's -hackers-, and the really gullible folk.

if it sound too good to be true, it is.

ps even with proper research and guys with great ebay scores (witch means absolutely nothing, thank baby jezus for paypal) you can get burned, but you reduce the changes of getting burned significantly.
