You said it. I doubt that they will have time to randomly access my phone. If anything, they're helping lots of others who need the help.

The data collection thing isn't new. Follow the opt-out link in that article (http://www.verizonwireless.com/myprivacy) to opt out of everything. Note that you need to do it for every line on your plan. I did this a long time ago.

If they really are abiding by my opt-out, I'll never know.

did you replace the recovery after you update?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
This is actually a very good update! Made my phone 10 times faster and smoother, I'm impressed. And they fixed a lot of little things that were really bothering me, like on the browser when you click on the address bar to type in a new web address it actually highlights the whole address now so you can just start typing instead of having to click on the address bar, then the "X", then the address bar again to start typing. Plus they added the "tabs" back so you dont have to go to menu. A lot of important little things were fixed to make the experience smoother. Status bar glitch when swyping away notifications is also fixed. I am way happier with the phone now. If the phone was released this way, it would have gotten way more attention and credit for how good this phone really is and what its capable of. I'm happy to say the least, s-off is going to be amazing on this phone! :D

It must have been a bad download. I re-downloaded and its running fantastically! haha As you can tell by my post above, thanks though!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] holch:
i love this new version, too

i got the same problem as you said (it's still 4.0.3 after update). and i think it is because i flashed a custom recovery of old version to make it confused. then i did everything again without replacing recovery, it says 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 now.

anyway, enjoy it!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Makaveli1490:
I did the update

No update on whether it will affect future possible root?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
at this point, root and s-off is significantly more likely on the update....but thats about it
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
mine showed up this morning during the drive to work. i felt it vibrate in my pocket and when i pulled it out it was downloading the update. it then rebooted. i never saw an option to delay or cancel the update... perhaps my pocket accepted it for me ;)

no issues so far...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Off topic, but...

Can't believe I'm only learning of this now. I opted out all features on all lines. Thanks for the tip!!

As for the update, it's good and all but the best addition is temproot exploit to pave the way for s-off.

Seriously though, much to difficult a question to answer for YOU. Your best bet is to look at the first 2 pages or so of the development section and review the feature lists, read the first few pages, and the last few pages. That should help you whittle your list down. You might get lucky and love the first one you flash, or it might take a couple. You can usually reach your conclusion fairly quickly after a fresh flash.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I've had my Epic 4G Touch for well over a year and a month ago I noticed the power button was starting to feel "spongy". It still worked but it lacked that crisp feeling when you pressed it down and released it. This afternoon however, after flashing FI27, my power button no longer works whatsoever. I doubt it was the ROM and more due to the amount of times I've held this button down for recovery access, download mode, etc.

So the power button doesn't work, phone starts automatically when I remove the battery and put it back in. Otherwise the phone is in near-perfect condition and its not rooted.

Anyone know if TEP is going to cover this for free? I've looked online at some resources for TEP and everything is vague or above my level of reading between the lines.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
I just had this happen to me last week actually. Just plug the charger in and it'll wake up the phone. Set it back to stock unrooted and bring it into Sprint. They'll either try to fix it or give you a new phone. I had a replacement phone that night for $0.

You might have to pull the battery a few times, but you still should be able to get into download mode
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Sounds like the internal button is either stuck or broken, if you take it to a repair center they might be able to fix it for you. However idk what cost would be if any, I dont keep any for of "insurance" on my phone, if i break it I swap to one of the others I have til I buy a new one. I tend to keep my phones mint and don't want to pay for a refurbished one when i have a bunch laying in a drawer.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I'm on FI27 w/ the newest AGAT kernel but just in case I used Chainfires' Triangle Away to get rid of the yellow triangle at boot. Outside of volume down + power button I don't know another way to get into download mode and since my power button is inop I'm kind of stuck.

Do you know of another way to get back into download mode? I have the self-extracting Odin file for EL29 just waiting to erase all evidence of root.

EDIT: Nevermind. Turns out the button is just stuck. I put the battery back in while holding volume down and it gave me download mode access. That solves one problem, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If your capable, you can crack it open and clean the internal button. If its just sticky that should fix it. While you're in there you can look for actual damage which will tell you to go ahead and take it in for repair.

I wouldn't even begin to know how to do that, though I'm sure YouTube has a couple videos detailing how-to. I'll give it a looksee and if it doesn't scare me away I'll give it a shot. If its something I can do, might as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
Does it still work now after booting back up? Mine didn't work but for some reason if i hit volume up+power i could get into download mode. But when it was actually booted, it wouldnt work at all, nor would it work inside CWM. Weird thing is when I took it into Sprint the touchscreen started having issues too. So that's probably another reason why I just got a replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
It works fine outside of the power button. I have recovery and download mode access, touchscreen is operable and nothing out of the norm seems to be going on. It's disturbing to say the least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
Wtf I got this issue after flashing Fi25 rom? Maybe its a bug? It had been working days before and spontaneously stopped working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bdarc1482:
This power button problem just happened to mine friday i took it to a repair store they were rude and refused to fix it told me i needed to use my insurance... so i made a call and within 15 min and only 1 transfer (shockingly) to customer care they sent me out a replacement at no cost i received this afternoon and currently trying to put a custom rom on it.. i had the same issues as you and it was hardware related a smack against a table resolved it atrandom and that phone was also stock..

I have been with sprint nearly 10 years and with several calls to customer care you can get alot done.. if one rep dont help call back and deal with another.. I have been 4 months past due with nearly an $800 bill at one point and still no restrictions :) i have also have a few older phones and some windows phones replaced at no charge in the past but that took a little more work then this one...Ive was even able to get them to credit my account $300 instead of using my 2 upgrades on phones... just call be polite if that dont work try again with another rep..

btw the sprint store i took it to didnt note it on my account if they tell you you must goto a store kindly refuse saying you dont have time.. if the battle seems endless ask for a supervisor twice..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
Where did you call to? Was your phone cracked or physically damaged? Shiii I want a free phone too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It's things like that that make it harder for others who actually need replacements to get them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
Read my comment, i need a replacement as well, by lock/power button isnt working either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I went to my local Sprint store this afternoon and apparently I don't have TEP on my phone. Last month I had an upgrade but I'm happy with my E4GT so I let my wife use it so she could get the EVO LTE. We did this through Best Buy Mobile. My wife has a friend that works there so it's where *she* does all her cellphone business. For some reason my TEP was cancelled on my E4GT upon upgrade and unbeknownst to me for the last month and a half I've had no insurance. :/

I called Sprint customer support and explained what happened and in 3-business days TEP will be reinstated on my phone, no charge, and all will be well in the world. The guy at the Sprint store also said had I had TEP this issue would be fixed via direct-exchange at no-cost to me.

I also tried fixing it myself but I got scared when the couldn't separate the screen from the case and gave up before I borked it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] um009:
I recently bought a new samsung galaxy note 2 and it was working all fine till the 2nd day of use in hands, suddenly i found one of the two sensors beside the camera showing a dim red light continuously,thats probably the Proximity sensor, I tried killing applications, but not worked, restarted phone and the light vanished...

Later on i noticed, the dim red light showing up whenever i opened any logs or messages,also the light stays on when the Quick Glance feature is on, i tried turning off the Direct Call and Quick Glance feature again that red light vanished...

i've searched alot about this problem, many people having it on Samsung Galaxy S 3, some have resolved by uninstalling viber, but i don't even have viber...

the light was not showing up before, but it came suddenly...

anyone having the same issue ? or anyone who has resolved such issue...

thanks alot in adv. for the responses

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Quick Glance uses the proximity sensor when the screen is off to tell when you're passing your hand over the phone to activate the feature.

I think Quick Call uses it to tell when you've moved the phone to your ear to dial the contact automatically.

Basically, it's normal depending on which features you have enabled/disabled.

Dim red light galaxy note 2

Hi there just been reading over this thread and only found it as I was having the same issue. Had a gs3 before this and I'm sure that had the same layout at the top of the handset an I never seen a red light appear on that in the 3 months I had it!. Noticed about 4 days ago this dim red light on my gn2 but just left it alone thinking similar to already mentioned reasons here like proximity sensor working but past 24hrs it just hasn't went off when before I was never there so why?. I turned phone off then back on again and now no red light and I've been using it for a few hours now so I don't think its just the proximity sensor working. When booting into recovery this same light appears for a split second before gn2 boot screen Sonoma thinking there might be some sort of bug when it stays on all the time so hopefully somebody will put our minds at ease with a solution
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
If you bothered to read the replies, it's normal. The proximity sensor stays on when your screen is turned off and lying on a flat surface because of the quick glance feature.

The proximity sensor turns on too when you are in the address book or call app and also the messaging app because of the quick call feature.

It's not a bug, just leave it alone and let it be.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khsparky:
I did read the replies and I don't hav the quick glance feature enabled. I'm telling you that on MY phone at least this red light has not appeared again since turning my phone off then on again and has only been present in the last 2 to 4 days intermittently and whether that be through flashing rom (omega) or not there's is still no concrete answer because I am using my phone now as I have been since the day I got it with the same motion settings an same settings throughout so if your so sure you know why this red light stays on constantly can you tell me why over a 2 to 3 week period it has only been present on my phone intermittently for a couple of days?

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

Edit: just received a text and on wakening the screen red light came on again so proximity explanation would be right because it went off again once I replied and locked the phone. This still doesn't explain why it was on constantly for 2 to 4 days with all my settings as they hav always beenand using my phone even as i am now!. Its just really bugging me I hate no knowing for definite but still appreciate your reply
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookpic:
I also have this bug/feature. On my phone the little dim red light works as described, when in messaging it lights up in case I put the phone to my head "Quick Call" feature is turned on. HOWEVER once in awhile this light will remain on constantly. Yes phone is locked and laying on its back. The "Quick Glance" feature is NOT on, "Turn over to mute/pause" is NOT on, "Smart Stay" is NOT on.

After a couple of days, the dim red light will just stay on. If I reboot the phone, it then shuts off and comes on only when messaging as expected, considering my settings. Again after a couple of days I will notice that it is on all the time again.

I think I've only had it happen once since my past post about it weeks ago but I've also updated omega rom many times since then as well as trying the odd different rom so it could've been any of them as I just rebooted to rectify it without giving it much thought.

Hi Guys,

I'm having the exact same issue. I flashed a new ROM, came from Paranoid Android to monxDefied and baaam the proximity sensor ain't working anymore :crying:

I tried to go back to paranoid android, I had it fully backed up via clockworkmod, but sadly still not working. It seems that the proximity sensor has been damaged since the last flash??

The weird thing is, that I can still see the little red light, so it is kinda working. When I make a phone call it detects the side of my face and the screen turns black when the phone comes near to my ear. Problem is, it doesn't turn back on when its removed from the ear. Pressing a button also doesn't work, only thing to end a call is a freaking hard reboot. That's the most annoying thing I've ever had with a phone.

I figured something out to get the calls back working.

Open Dialer App --> Press Menu Button --> Touch "Call Settings" --> Uncheck "Auto screen off during calls".

Now the screen stays on for the entire conversation you are having on the phone.

It's not a long term solution but at least you will be able to make calls without reboots.

Anyone know who to fix this problem permanently? I would very much like to get the proximity sensor back to working properly. Is there any kind of hardware test tool where I can rule out any hardware issues?

I have this same problem where my proximity sensor stays active even when I'm not on a phone call. Anytime something blocks my sensor the screen goes black. It's so annoying, doesn't matter what I'm doing on the phone but it goes black when my hand or face blocks the sensor. I have figured out how to unblack it by lowering and raising my hand on the sensor like I'm dribbling a basketball. The dim red light is on sometimes. Is this a sign of a broken proximity sensor?

All the motion features and smart stay stuff are disabled, for battery life is my main goal. I've tried rebooting to no avail.
