[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Micro Maniac:
I am new to this forum and can only post to this section (Assuming I get by this tough spam filter!)

I have the HTC EVO 4g LTE phone and am new to rooting an the like but I was able to root using RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter x64 (1.13. I) did this after 1 week using the phone stock. For 4 weeks I was very happy with the performance with an occasional hard reset. I created 2 Nandroid backups and downloaded the stock RUU believing I could load it should I need warranty service. I seem to see several posts with users having to perform hard resets. I plug my phone into my PC every night for charging rather than the supplied wall charger.

At 5 weeks old I was using an app that organizes apps and saw MIRROR. I knew what is was for but had never used it. When I did it showed my face and locked up. That was the end of my phone. From that point on any attempt to boot the boot loader or normal boot resulted in a boot loop or it would boot the the HTC screen and vibrate. That was it. I could not load Nandroid image or run RUU.

I had the Bestbuy warranty and was afraid they would not honer it because it was booted. They did honer it and I have a new phone which since loaded the new OTA update which as of yet does not have a root method. I also noticed MIRROR is gone!

So now it seems the common thread is the charger? My PC has USB 3.0 which is equivalent to a 1.0 amp charger. (USB 1.0=0.5a, USB 2.0=0.75a, USB 3.0 = 1.0a)

Is charging an issue? I don't want to brick another phone. I really don't beleive that is the cause as I am at stock now and have woke up 2 mornings now having to do a hard rest to get my phone working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tilltheend714:
I've left mine charging on all three types of usb overnight with no problems, on both completely stock and rooted, s-off and on custom rom so I doubt its a charging problem. I would guess either a hardware problem on your computer or phone, or you had bad luck and got two bad phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Since USB 3.0 is very new standard, I would look into whether or not HTC charging is even supported on USB 3.0 @ 1.0 amps. I have a Western Digital 3 TB USB 3.0 external hard drive, and incompatibility issues do exist.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
Try doing an RUU on your computer - google it

Try lazypanda unbrick on a linux machine - google it

I "true bricked" my phone using a spliced usb cable that i wanted to make shorter. Although I can't definitively ever state that an undervolt or surge occurred most in these forums have indeed stated the charger as being finicky and have reported bricks based on the type of charger used. If your phone still turns on in some way whether it be bootloader or recovery or even bootlooping there IS some way for you as the user to do something technical to fix it on your end without outside help I think. My phone however was completely gone no response from buttons or lights whatsoever. People have told me I fried the battery so if anyone feels they have done this don't get rid of the phone just yet but invest in a battery and try replacing it. I posted my "dead" LTE to ebay for sale at $150 when I paid $400 thinking it was beyond repair. Someone snatched it up before I could get the info from users and take down the auction. I must say this is the worst hardware issue I have ever heard of on an HTC device which is a shame because visually the phone is stunning.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bastafari:
get familiar with adb. download android sdk to your computer and run cmd in the windows start menu. Type adb devices and if your phone is plugged into the computer it should find it. If it does try adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery. If either of them work go into recovery and reflash your rom / nandroid. Welcome to the dark side of the force.

Soft Brick EVO 4G LTE

ok so none of this has worked. I am stuck in a bootloop into bootloader

Tampered

Relocked

Security Warning

I was in the process of relocking my phone to update RUU to then S-Off. Everything when well allegedly with the relock. During the reboot by the system it stuck in a bootloader. I am not sure what I should do. Push and OTA firmware though or what....Any thoughts? I am also not sure how long my phone will stay charged, maybe I can power it down to charge?!!??!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Do not power down. What do you see when you type fastboot device? Captain throwback and om4 are really good at this troubleshooting. Hopefully one will see this soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
If you already ran the ruu, run it again. Sometimes the ruu stalls for whatever reason and needs to be run a second or even third time. Accepting the ota will not work unless you flash the stock recovery and have a rom close to stock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
The good news is that you are not bricked if it boot loops. Brick is dead , no lights, no nothing just dead.

Which is working better for you guys? I'm currently on codename, and for the first build, it's pretty damn smooth, about to flash newest nexus beam update though

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
I know that, I'm asking which one you guys prefer though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
codename and nexus beam seem really smooth. right now im on nexus beam and im loving the smoothness, but its based on an old version of cm9 so there is little customization. if you want customization id go with codename
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jaygmuzic:
The latest version of Nexus Beam is really nice and extremely smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
Either one there is smoothness. Battery doesn't overheat much on both. Soooo....... All about user preferences
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tvotony:
I'm in love with nexus beam to tell you the truth it fast smooth and it saves on gas (battery)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GeneralThadeApe:
To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried Codename-- yet-- because I'm already happy with the Nexus Beam ROM.

It has decent WiFi strength & solid battery performance.

I might give the other a try-- if I get bored with Nexus-- but I certainly don't feel like I NEED to do it any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Codename is prettier than Nexus Beam and also SEEMS faster and smoother, but both are slower than GB. I think whoever programmed ICS put kludge routines in the kernel to induce people to buy faster phones. NOT OUR DEVS! some technicians at Google, I suppose. Hint though -- kernel needs overclocking added.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johncdn:
Notes about 'awake' time between these 2 roms:

Codename build-1 kept 'awake' all the time, Beam pre-final is better, but still on and off for 'awake', longer for 'on' than 'off'. Codename build-2&3 got into deep sleep with no 'awake'. So, in terms of battery performance, recommend to go with Codename build-3, also better than other ics roms.

PS phone condition for the comparison: during the night time, wifi off, data off, airplane mode off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tvotony:
Trying out code name to see how it runs
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Ics is just as fast as gb if not faster on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aarrrchie:
Thanks for the suggestion. I switched to your froyo one click (with some bali kernel or something) and my phone have never been so responsive. No hurt in running this version right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
I can't tell if you have the most subtle sense of humor, or if you just don't know that FB is actually running a special Eclair ROM on his device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
We don't have eclair lol just froyo gb and ics
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
No - it's apparently so secret that you don't know about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I was kidding about running that ROM at the moment, but it was the Froyo ROM I used the most until we finally got the KJ6 drop and the custom roms that came with it. It was so smooth and looked so good, I couldn't get enough of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lonoguge:
Just wanted to keep this thread alive by saying that after trying out both recent builds of both roms , nexus beam seems to be better with on screen time but tuks rom was better with off screen time. I need someone else to confirm this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droseph:
Hi everyone, I'm having problems with my power button. Every time I press it once, the phone keeps recognizing that I clicked it twice--which results in a situation where its hard to lock my phone properly and awaken my phone (the screen also flashes multiple times in some instances). It's not the rom or kernel either... because I tried it both on Sky ICS and Chimera

Has anyone had this problem before? Will I need to replace my power button?

I was always worried that the power button was built like crap. I've never dropped this phone, it just became like this after pressing the power button so many times from daily use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
There were a couple of threads about a "sticking" power button causing havoc... turned out that a small amount of lint built up under power button... and a quick disassembly, cleaning, reassembly fixed the problem. You might try rebooting a couple times to see if it resets on it's own. Also, if you get it working again you might consider flashing a "wake-on-volume" key mod to take some wear and tear off your power button. I'm on SkyICS 4.2F6 and flashed Sean's modified android.policy.jar (wake-on-volume)... works to perfection. Good luck. Hope all gets resolved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droseph:
Thanks for the advice, that's what I was thinking. The rom I'm using already has a wake-on volume mod... I just have to get used to using the volume keys. I'll probably tear it apart sometime this weekend and see what I find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
Depending on warranty it may be worth getting it replaced also.
[Nexus 7 General] sharp2G:
This isn't a complete fix, but seems to reduce the washed out image/over exposed home screen from watching videos in full screen mode.

Settings -> Developer options -> Checkmark Disable HW overlays -> Checkmark Force GPU rendering

See if this helps because either I'm loosing my mind or this actually helps - a bit. :angel:
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I tried it and it didn't make any difference to me.
[Nexus 7 General] vboyz103:
Enable he overlay will cause G movie play not rendering just fyi
[Nexus 7 General] Cl8rs:
So this doesn't work? I am getting tired of Netflix and other videos washing out on me. This isn't a hardware problem, is it?
[Nexus 7 General] sharp2G:
Yes it breaks Google Movies. It seems to reduce the gamma overkill from watching full screen videos, but it is still there. It doesn't hurt you at all to try it and if it doesn't work just disable it again. Personally it seems to have helped slightly.
[Nexus 7 General] Protean:
I'm having an issue when I am watching a movie or youtube in landscape mode the screen starts to darken until it shuts off the screen. I went into developer mode and disable HW overlays, it made it go away. What are your thoughts? Sorry if I'm deviating from topic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Handalaan:
I just plugged my phone in for the first time since the official ICS upgrade and discovered that I can't get it to recognize the USB connection. The phone charges fine (although it takes about 3 seconds before it realizes that it has been plugged in) and I know the cable is good. Is this an observed issue with ICS or has my charging/usb port just now decided to freak out on me? Windows 'recognizes' that something has been plugged in as Unknown Device (Yes, the drivers are installed) but the phone acts like nothing is there. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Reinstall the drivers, either reinstalling kies or go to kies, connection troubleshoot and let it run. Afterwards plug in your phone and let it update the drivers, don't disconnect it until it's done.

Remember to plug your phone only after kies did it's thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] styx66:
If that doesn't work do the following. Open (if you have one, or go download and open) a terminal emulator. Plug your phone into your stock charger with stock cable.

In terminal editor type in:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_source

Tell us what # you get. Then do the same while plugged into the pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
Hi people recently I trade my Motorola razr with a galaxy nexus, the guy who trade it was using the phone with movistar, in my country it operates on 850 mhz. I use other carrier claro also working on 850 mhz. But with the Sims of that operator (claro) I got no service at all. Maybe it is a old thread but don't know how to search for it and honestly the galaxy nexus has a big forum.

Hope you can help me because I got a plan on claro and don't want to change operators.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
If it can help I got this on my system info

It look like you will have to do some flashing, though I am not in your area so I don't know which specific image or radio you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
thanks for the answers, i was using my xda tablet app and its harder to search, well i search a little, my problem maybe is because the radio installed, i got xx radio which is european, supports 850 but someway it can be causing the probelm with other sim. I find some radios for US and Canada but they are listed for ICS, it can work with jelly bean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. You should be able to use almost any radio.

And by the way, XX radios are not only for Europe. U.S. devices ship with XX radios as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
i try lot of radio files, revert to stock jelly bean and it dont work at all, damn! any idea. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It's probably not related to the firmware on your phone. Did you try it out with a SIM of a different provider?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
yes the sims from the other carrier works, both operates on 850mhz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Then it certainly has nothing to do with your device or the firmware. It is either related to your SIM or to your carrier account or a network issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
Any suggestion to solve this problem? i speak with costumer service of my operator and they told me that theres no support for devices not sold by them, so im stuck with this phone with no signal at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janocool:
I returned the phone, really like it but for me is not working.

[HTC One S] daweedk1991:
So, I have updated my TWRP to 2.2.1 and decided to update TrickDroid to the latest 6.2.0 version (T-Mobile). After doing a full wipe, I installed and I noticed that when booting up, my phone has a normal, generic android boot animation. I tried using the tweaks package to change it, but only the shutdown animation changed, and the boot animation is still the "android" logo animation. I tried ref lashing, reinstalling TWRP, flashing the kernel separately and still nothing. Any ideas/help?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
It would be better to ask this in Trickdroid's support thread. You could always manually replace the .zip file.
[HTC One S] JohnHenrySDM:
I had very little luck using the Tweaks package. Very few of the changes I made stuck. I couldn't get *any* of the inverted apps to work. I just ended up using the ROM without any tweaks because it has such great battery life.
[HTC One S] skrap3:
On only had this problem using twrp. No problems with latest cwm. Checked it 2 times!
[HTC One S] daweedk1991:
Which version of TWRP were you using?

EDIT:

I tried with the latest cwm recovery, still the same. I find it really weird that when I tried flashing MIUI, the boot animation was there...It's only trickdroid :\
[HTC One S] crackeyes:
find the boot animation you want and move to \system\media and reboot and it will work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRBZA:
Ordered a Galaxy Nexus last night and i have some questions on the shipping procedures, after purchasing it from the google play store i got the confirmation email and have still not received a shipping confirmation email or any updates of any sort, when i view my order I just get google received order and confirmation email has been sent. I am on vacation in the US at the moment and i am set to go home on tuesday and i am now worried that it wont be here by the time i leave. I ordered it as i thought it would be here easily by tuesday because of the 2 day shipping but i am now starting to worry. Is anyone able to give me some piece of mind on this, would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
You might get tracking information later tonight. If not, they most likely haven't processed your order yet and will ship out Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRBZA:
Was hoping it would be shipped out today, most likely wont be here in time now. Oh well, thanks anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
i ordered mine this monday morning, and i got it friday afternoon. it shipped out on wednesday at like 8pm. tracking info wont update until ups picks it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRBZA:
Not looking good for me then, unless they proces the order tomorrow which i doubt and have it ready for shipping on monday and even if it was so the chances of it making it to me by tuesday at 3PM are slim, thanks for the contribution though :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdw55a:
Yea, I ordered mine yesterday the 26th and have not heard anything.They say it may take 2 days to prosses the order. Since UPS does not pick up or deliver on weekends they will probably ship Monday. Google ships from California and I live in Nevada so I am hoping to get mine on Wednesday.

If you go looking around the play store, you will find they ask you to wait up to 2 business days to process the order then up to 2 business days for the shipping.

I ordered mine on the 23rd, Mine will be at my mail forwarding address on Monday the 30th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadenxi:
I ordered mine on the Sunday night(the 29th) and it still just says recieved. I called Google support and the guy told me it takes 3-5 days JUST for processing, then another 2 days to ship. X_X

I ordered mine the 30th and it will be here tomorrow the 1st... I wonder why its taking so long for your orders.

I ordered mine on the 26th of July (Thursday). Immediately got a confirmation email but not a thing more until Monday the 30th. It had a tracking number and was delivered the same day (the 30th).

So it was actually shipped day after I ordered it but didn't get a tracking number until the day it was delivered!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RudzLong:
Use home partition wizard tool

Hope can help you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigmeow:
so can i create partition using fdisk directly?

the issue is whether the kernel support swap function, agree with that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kuisma:
Yes, the kernel supports swapping. But Android do not page swap by design, but kills of entire processes instead. I.e. the "swapping" (memory management) is implemented at application level. Swapping is slow, you'll get at best 20MB/s disk I/O, and Android must be "real time best effort". E.g. if your are playing Angry Birds and have your phone app out-paged, it'll take time to page it back in again, before you can answer your friend calling. It's much quicker to kill of the Angry Bird than have to page it out, especially as the I/O capacity is occupied loading the phone app.

But yes, you can enable paging on the Android device, and it'll probably work quite fine most of the times. But ApplicationManager doesn't really cares, it'll kill of your apps anyway. Running native code although, it'll give you some gain.

Change "count=256" to the size (in MB) you want your the swap. Locate the file to your fastest disk, here I'm using /usr/tmp, but I guess you'll have to place it somewhere else, since /usr/tmp usually don't exists in Android. You'll have to use either /data (expensive!) or make a new ext3 partition on your SD card for this (best, if you've got a fast SD card). The swap file can reside on the sdcard, but it must not be on the fat partition, but on an ext3 or ext4 partition.
