[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] STIDRIVER:
Thanks for the responses guys... I have rooted/Rom'd my last 2 phones heavily (OG Droid, OG Evo) and am fairly comfortable with it. I guess I just wanted to enjoy this one stock for a while. After running ICS and JB Roms on my old EVO for the last 6 months... It is nice to have everything working at the same time (Netflix, Camera etc...). Plus, Rom'ing seems a little iffy on this Evo so far with reports of actual bricking (yes, I know.. usually user error) and borking Google Wallet. I am decent at this stuff, but I do make my share of mistakes. And seeing as how I bought this phone off eBay (not due for an upgrade), I can't afford to break it. Do you guys think this issue is being addressed by HTC? I hope so......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] STIDRIVER:
Are there launchers that are more successfull than others for this phone? Apex? Nova?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Supposedly it is but i dont think it has been fully addressed as devs are still making work arounds for it on thw new ota so my guess is yet another fail for htc

Clear wallet settings before flashing just to be sure if you're worried about that.

Unlock and root your phone, follow the 1.15 flashing instructions and get cm10, it will feel like a new phone. Well worth any risk (which IMO is low following instructions).

I think something might be wrong with your phone. We've taken a dive into these phones the last couple of weeks. I got an EVO Lte first. It came with the newest update. So I rooted, but no s-off, of course. Running stock ROM. Runs great. No complaints, except the multi-tasking, of course. No lags, though.

MIL decided to move into a smartphone and got the same phone a few days ago, with my help. Left it completely stock and worked on it extensively loading apps, configuring it, etc. I notice zero difference between the phones. Same performance, no lag on either one, etc.

P.S. Wife picked up an S3 on Saturday. I'm in charge of setting it up, too. I expected to be realy wowwed by it. But after a couple of days of playing with it, I think I like the Evo better. I like both phones, but I think I made the right choice for me. It would be nice if HTC was as developer friendly as Samsung, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] STIDRIVER:
Update: Factory reset fixed the lag... it was acting up still right after I did it, which is when I posted the thread. But, after letting it settle for a day or so, its fine. Awesomeness restored. Thanks for the help though, and when the modding bug hits me, I know where to go. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Sometimes after just flashing a new ROM its a good idea to factory reset first, it gets tested for the device intended and released for others but an image is basically a snapshot of the ROM and everything in it, when you factory restore a new ROM, you really start fresh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pigfqr:
I hope you have better luck than I did. The lag came back. So far, minus the last few things that aren't working properly, CM10 is the way to go. It's like a whole new phone. No Lag, smooth as butter, no more waiting for Sense to load, just a much better all around experience. Thanks to Toast and Deck, incredible work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] STIDRIVER:
Still running like a champ... I think the phone was just confused with activation, setup and the evil AirRave that hates all my phones... Factory reset seems to have worked. Trying to hold off on root/rom for now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
I have had nothing but hell out of this phone since ICS. Has anyone had a lot of problems with ICS or is it just me? Nothing works consistently anymore. I believe this phone has become unreliable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Wow hell.. huh?

Did you consider rooting and try custom ROMs to get to heaven?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
I did. :/

The several i tried lasted a week at the latest. But most did the same thing as stock ics. Calls never recieved, voicemails never received. Once i couldn't dial out and it took three flashes to fix it. I got a new one from sprint but i really just don't know if i want to go through anymore drama.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.

Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
Maybe I'll try a jellybean ROM. With the short gap between ICS and JB, i wonder if ICS is the Vista of Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
JB is awesome its just the battery but I prefer it then ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:

I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

Swyped from a Galaxy S2 on CM10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
I might try cm10, but I've tried CM on this phone and the evo4g I had and they were both horrible experiences.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
I'm getting pretty decent battery on pics and not to many bugs lol.don't use 4g.task manager doesn't kill me. So its working beautifully for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Also I hope you are not restoring apps and data when downgrading etc. Start clean 100%.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoisonerKA:
I have never had any battery life issues. All my problems revolve around the phone part of my smart phone. I didn't start a thread to cry as as one jerk off suggested, I am having huge problems around ICS that is making my phone worthless. Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal. I wonder.if its related to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.

Hi xda.

where i live i get pretty bad reception on any phone/network due to the mountainous region of NSW Australia.

I noticed my incredible s had 3 aerial holes in the back cover so a dock/aftermarket aerial can be plugged in.

Which docks/aerial's would be compatible? Or would i need to make my own?

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
If you live in a bad area where coverage is no good, there's not really a solution

Try upgrading your radio to the latest, that helped for me

If you're on optus you can buy this thing called 'home zone' which basically improves your signal in your house

I have not seen any covers which boost reception. Adding metal like foil to the back cover does not really help, I tried it. I think the cover has the antenna built into it, its not just the small strips on the inside

Here is the link to the optus home zone I found:

Ignorant questions:

I'm currently on EK02 and rooted. Haven't updated since then. To get to FH13 (and then rooted), should I run each individual update in this thread, and then finally root. Or is there a shortcut to go directly from EK02 rooted to FH13 rooted? And will I be able to preserve data with either way of doing it? Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Yes, you can go straight to fh13 rooted using Garwynns one click no data here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30264904

Personal experience and opinion, id go to fi03..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfrancisny:
Thanks for the answer, much appreciated. What is the advantage to going with fi03 instead of fh13? And is fi03 an official release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
For me, and others, fi03 is the best as far as Wimax and general signal. Battery life is much better. Feels better as far as scrolling is concerned. But no, its not an "official" release. Its a leak. But for battery and signal issues alone, that's why I'd use it. I was getting 2 1/2 hours on screen time with fh13. I get over 4 with fi03.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfrancisny:
Sweet. Sounds like the way to go. I will give it a shot. Never used ODIN before (the only time I rooted was with the auto-script method) so I'm a bit nervous pulling the trigger. If the preserve data option doesn't work well, and I have to do that "wipe cache/dalvik-cache" thing (or worse, have to use the ODIN factory reset tool), I assume I'll lose all data at that point. If so, will the backup I've done with Titanium Backup be sufficient to get everything back up & running? Any other, better, precautions to take before making the leap from EK02 to FI03?

Edit:

Well Mattix724

There's no way to apply this OTA if you are ROOTED damn Samsung/Sprint.

Tried several ways combinations temp unroot everything I can nothing helped.

So Samsung/Sprint must have done something to this OTA, maybe some kind of verification, not even manual update worked. :banghead:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amwworks:
I got it to work and I still have root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Please, share your wisdom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amwworks:
I followed the usual directions. Downloaded the updated to my SD card. Changed the name to update.zip. I flashed it using the stock recovery and it was done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I did the same several times no luck it always aborted. then try several more times and ended softbricked LOL... now restoring...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Please share your magic/wisdom cause a lost root access. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I keep receiving an error when I do this. The error has to do with whole file verification. Thought a bad download so redownloaded but no luck. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Check MD5 its in OP below file.

If you are rooted it won't work... you have to be FULL Stock FH13 for it to work and flash from Stock Recovery. File needs to be saved on External SD rename is optional.

I don't know what he did or if he is playing with us because I been trying to flash over FH13 Rooted (more than 15 tries different setups) and there's is no way to flash it without loosing root. Also for it to work on Rooted (looses root access) you have never performed any kind of mod or tweak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I have never rooted for work purposes. So always stock and unrooted but still doesn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
1. Need to be full stock. (you confirmed this)

2. Need to be on FH13 (?)

3. Save it to External SD

4. Rename it to update.zip (this step is optional) (verify is not renamed update.zip.zip it will fail verification.)

5. Did you check md5? if you download over cellular network check for md5 before flashing in stock recovery. md5 have to match this md5=128393F6DC15982D0FF84897864D7DBA if not match its a bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Thanks all was correct from your list except md5. Just got the update to go through. Wifi turned on automatically but I never have that on so it was wired. Just something I noticed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amwworks:
To be honest. I don't know how I kept root. I was on stock rooted FH13 when I flashed it. I've moved to Agat's 6.3 source kernal since then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
Is FI27 better than my FI03 is currently running?

I did a one-click to take my phone to the FI03 rooted so that means this update won't work since its rooted? I never changed anything so it should work right?

Thanks for all the work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
This only for devices that did not have received OTA yet and are pure stock, you'll lose root if it flashes.

Because you are root and I assume you want keep it, don't bother with this use the One Clicks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jcossack88:
How do you check the phones md5? I keep getting a red triangle on FH13-FI27, and I am running fully stock FH13

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
1. Need to be full stock not a single mod or integrity check will fail and abort (that's what happening to you right now I believe)

2. Need to be on FH13 to flash FI27

3. Save it to External SD

4. Rename it to update.zip (this step is optional) (verify is not renamed update.zip.zip it will fail verification and abort.)

5. Did you check md5? if you download over cellular network check for md5 before flashing in stock recovery. md5 have to match this md5=128393F6DC15982D0FF84897864D7DBA if not match its a bad download.
