[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
Just spontaneously? The phone was in my pocket, vibrated a few times, then wouldn't turn on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Maybe? I had this happen once, but my phone wouldn't come back to life. I had to plug it in then wait for it to charge. I left it on the charger for about half an hour. Then it booted up ok after that.

When mine did it, all I would get were the three buttons on the bottom flashing nothing else. No sounds or vibrations.

Try that and see if it helps. If not, a visit to Sprint maybe needed. Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
I have came to the conclusion that the screen has stopped working. The phone rings, and I can answer a call if I get lucky and slide my finger where the answer button should be.

Guess it's a trip to Sprint tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Sounds like the backlight. The digitizer seems to still be working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
Went to Sprint, paid them $35 to open it up, see a little corrosion from "water damage", and refuse to replace anything because of the damage. I don't have insurance.

Not sure if it's worth trying to replace the screen myself?

The phone isn't even 6 months old. Could I talk to HTC and see if they will replace it?

Edit: I talked to HTC. They are supposed to email me a packing slip to send it to them for repair.

Base charge of $40 for them to look at it.

Do you think it's worth a try, or do you think they will see the corrosion and say the same thing Sprint said? So much bull that the phone isn't even 6 months old and the screen failed. I wouldn't even be mad if they actually had good customer service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
Side note: Is there a way to turn this phone off? I can reboot it, but I can't figure out a way to actually turn it off. I want to turn it off so I'll have a chance of getting some of my messages when I get a working phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chinchillables:
Just hold the power button until it turns off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
Holding the power button causes a reset, holding the power button+volume down is a hard reset, both ways the phone reboots immediately after.

Took the phone to another Sprint store last night, same thing, but they actually explained it this time.There's a small area of corrosion on the main board basically under the headphone jack, this corrosion slowly spreads and shuts down parts of the phone. So basically there's a good chance the LCD is fine, the board just needs replaced.

This morning my alarms kept going off, after about 5 or 6 times I looked at my phone and the screen was on! Somehow and for some reason the screen is working again.

I suspect that the corrosion is causing a bad connection on the board. I plan to tear into the phone later today and see if I can clean it up a little bit.

Any points on cleaning corrosion off the board?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
was the phone near water or something?? how does it get corrosion like that?? just wondering casue if i ever have to bring my phone to sprint and they say they wont fix it cause it has water corrosion and i never dropped water on it ill be heated!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tuscani1821:
I would assume sweat or steam from being in a bathroom while the shower is on. Either way its tough to say.

Sent from my Genesis that does what Nintendon't
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Well that sucks. There has been many times on a hot summer day that when I get off a call that I have to wipe down my screen because I've sweat all over it. I would have assumed that the engineers would have designed it better than this. What happens on a rainy day and some rain gets in the phone thru the headphone jack? I guess the phone is toast after this? That's a sh*tty design :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Biggest Fro:
I attempted to take it apart and clean it up,but it's very hard to tell where the corrosion is. I believe my motherboard is toast. I I were to purchase a used motherboard off Ebay, would the ESN of the phone change?

And a little history of the phone - It was never dropped in water in any way, never taken to the bathroom when I was showering. The only times it had moisture on it would be from sweat while in my pocket or when using it in a small drizzle with a few rain drops accumulating on the screen. The place where it appears the corrosion started was at the headphone jack, so I would say to keep that as clean as possible.

Guess it's time to move on. Any news on when the next Evo is coming/name of it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GladdBag:
Hi everyone; forgive me for the N00B question - I have been having a great time with different ROMs on the SIII - I have never before flashed just the kernel and am interested in trying out ktoonsez kernel. I just want to make sure that, should something go wrong or I'm not happy and want to go back to the kernel I'm already using, can I just do a restore from CWM? Not entirely sure if restoring through CWM also restores the kernel that was installed at the time of the backup.

Thanks very much.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Yes you can do one of two things. Restore a nandroid from cwm or reinstall the ROM your on. If you restore a nandroid you will lose any apps installed or changes made to your phone. If you reflash the ROM your on wiping only dalvik cache/cache then the oy thing that will change is the kernel, you will get back the one that came with the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidJiuJitsu:
I just DoD this with my S3 for the first time and it was.fairly easy. I was updating to a new Rom and flashed it right afterwArds. One thing to remember when flashing the kernel is to

Clear the cache and Calvin and then fix the permissions.

What Rom are you using?

I'm not understanding at all which of the two root methods, Odin or the Toolkit, is the preferred method or if it even matters. It's just that I'll see some people so adamantly talk about how they never use one or the other anymore.

Any help/input?

But the thing is there are so many options!

I have been reading about ROMS/ kernals till I just cant read anymore guys..its great that we so much to choose from but can be a bit confusing. Love the phone but couple things I would like to do with it so maybe you can make suggestions?

1) love to run a Jellybean ROM- whatever is the most stable at the moment, was leaning towards CM10 M2 or tasks build. for those of you who have run multiple ROMs what is the one that would be my best bet for a daily driver?

2) Wifi (as we all know) is terrbile. I dont get disconnects but it sucks when your wifes crappy ass iphone 5 gets 4 bars and Im sitting at 1 bar.

3) Network signal- again not the best, I get better signal with my old v1 atrix- not cool.

which Kernals have you found that would help with 2&3?

Im not the type to be constantly changing roms and such so I would like to get it as close to being right as I can the first couple of tries.

give me some options please!!!!

thx.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rickroller:
Does anyone know whether the video multitasking the Note 2 can do on screen (viewing video while still being able to do other tasks) is capable when connected to HDMI and your TV? Meaning, can I start a movie or video on the Note 2 and have it play on my TV, while still using the phone for texts, IMs, browsing etc without the video stopping?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sewhuy:
I haven't tested it with the HDMI port but I have tried streaming to TV with DLNA wirelessly. While the video was streaming, as soon as I pressed the home button the stream was disconnected. Sounds like it might work with the MHL cable only if you use the pop-up video option since it just mirrors from the phone.

Did you try the pop up button? I would try it myself but I still don't have an 11 pin adapter

Hey guys just wanted to share this awesome keyboard with everyone here. Swype is fluid and just the overall experience typing with this keyboard is much better IMO.

Link for download:https://hotfile.com/dl/178058074/2672b3b/Android_4.2_KB.apk.html

Directions:

Install just like a regular .apk then go settings > Language & Input > and check the box for the Android Keyboard. Then select Android Keyboard from the default keyboard to use.

Directions for Gmail installation:

First rename the .zip to .zpk then uninstall your old Gmail.apk (if you're running an Odexed ROM, delete the .odex file too) then reboot and install the new Gmail.apk just like any other app.

Enjoy :highfive:

[Acer Iconia A500] MadMax1412:
Hi Guys,

I've got a stock A500 and due to the conflicting reports as to whether Acer will provide an OTA update to Jellybean, I've decided to flash a custom ROM as there as some minor quirks that are starting to bug me.

Anyway, I've found the thread to explain what to do - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 - but it's left me with a couple of questions.

Selection of ROM

I can see at http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136 there are links to various threads relating to custom ROMs such as CM10 Jellybean, AOKP Jellybean and CM10 Jellytime etc.

1) These have other topics scattered throughout so I was wondering if there's a page that summarises the various JB ROMs out there with a link to their topic page?

2) Without knowing each of the developers, how does one choose which ROM to use? Is there such a thing as a "vanilla/Plain-Jane" JB ROM?

3) Each of these topics have the first post outlining the ROM with a link to the zip file. Does the author update this link in the 1st post if there's update to the ROM or do you need to read through all the posts to see if the author has an updated link?

4) Once you've installed a custom ROM, how do you know if there's updates? Does the Update in Settings work or do you need to manually come back to the topic and see if the zip file is updated?

ROM/Kernel

At http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 it says that you need

Yet further down it talks about Custom ROMs and Custom Kernels.

1) What are the differences?

2) What does a Kernel do?

3) Do I need this or just the ROM?

Thanks

PS - Not sure if this topic is better suited to be in http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136, but since it's a question, the rules say that it should go in the Q&A section.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hantav:
I've been eagerly following the development of the various GSM CM10 related ROMs over the past few months and I've noticed several developers come and go.

As of lately and from my limited understanding, the 2 most recent GSM CM10 related ROMs seem to be developed by 2 different groups.

CM10 and related ROMS by Crack-Team et al.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1925283

CM10 and related ROMS by Hashcode et al.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801379

My questions are:

1. What exactly is the difference between the ROMs developed by these 2 different groups?

2. If they're are different groups developing the same ROM, why aren't they collaborating?

The twitter feed for Hashcode kinda addressed this vaguely (for my liking at least).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Olao99:
I had the same questions, and in twitter and crackteam forums found out that:

The base is the one developed by Hashcode and Dhacker

1) The updates it is getting are auto-compiles from CM10 source. (:S which is basically nothing)

2) The crack-team roms are based in Hashcode and Dhacker's source...And by now, they are just compiles. (Exactly the same thing)

However, probably in the future, crackteam starts to develop something based on these sources....

In resume:

No real updates have been made since dhacker got a RAZR HD

Crack-team compiles from sts team source and I think that is basically it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hantav:
Thanks for clarifying. You'd think there would be more collaboration for this common goal :highfive:.

How you tell which releases are "real" updates vs "auto-compiles"? Or is this something that I'll know until only after I flash a new update?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mao-a:
Hi there,

The phone in question is a Galaxy S i9000 with the latest CM10 (same problem occurred with CM9 and another rom, not based on CM I believe).

First of all, it never shows any signs on the phone that it's charging. However, when connected to a PC, it does charge (it doesn't look like it at first glance, but the battery icon fills up). When connected to a wall charger, nothing happens. It does not charge. I also can't connect it to the PC in order to transfer files etc. Just charge it.

I cleaned the usb socket carefully, but that did not help. I actually think it isn't a hardware problem, because this problem has sort of been coming and going during the last few days, and as I've said it charges fine via the PC.

I've tried 3 different roms, but no luck. Also tried different cables and wall chargers obviously..

Your help will be much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
Apparently over time the USB slots tend to get damaged due to constant usage, had this problem with a china made charger ( shows charging but never charges) and still lately even USB cables seems to need some replugging or slide movements to get connection. For insight , try the cleaning method.
