[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ummagumma:
I have a stock Sprint Evo 4G LTE (hardware 003) that I got from Amazon Wireless on Sept 1st. Never dropped or got it wet.

A couple weeks ago the phone wouldn't turn on after going to sleep. I was able to reset it holding the Power button down and the problem went away.

Then it happened again.

Yesterday, it went bad. I can reset it if I hold power button long enough, but then after a while it just dies again. I pulled SD card and did factory reset and turned off Fast Boot and Battery Saver, all to no avail. If I set it to never go to sleep (Display options) and never turn off display when charging, I can use it - sometimes for an hour or two, sometimes for ten minutes, but inevitably the screen turns black. Often it happens when I plug it in charger, although sometimes it just charges. Basically, the phone is unusable.

I think it started happening after one of the updates from HTC.

So, can someone help me. I do not have TEP and I need to know what my options are.

It really looks to me like some OS glitch. Is there a known fix for that ? I found a lot of people with this issue but no mention of cause or fix.

If I have to get it repaired, should I send it to HTC or try Sprint repair center ? Any ideas of the HTC warranty repair center trustworthiness ? I would hate to send the phone to them, wait for a couple of weeks and get a runaround in the end.

If I go to Sprint, what should I expect ? As I understand the minimum repair charge is around $35.

Thanks !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Take it to Sprint. They likely will replace it. Maybe charge 35$. Be leery of HTC repair. I have read they have really been jerking the int'l one X customers around, since those customers aren't tied to a carrier and can't return to a carrier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ummagumma:
Thanks. I will try that, I would rather pay $35 if the alternative is to be without a phone for two weeks. Is there any idea on what is causing the issue ?

Are you s-off?? Are you rooted?? What recovery are you running?? What all have you tried?? Have you tried running an ruu??

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] qzik7777:
Same here...

I'm having the same issue with my EVO LTE. I'd be curious to know if anyone has any idea what is happening. I've looked around online and it seems to have happened to a number of people.

I actually had to send my EVO back to HTC a couple months ago because I was getting pixel bleed on the screen. It took about a week and a half for them to fix and send it back. Unfortunately, it took another 3 weeks for them to register the ESN with Sprint, so I had to wait for that to actually be able to activate my phone. This was all accompanied by unbelievably bad customer service from Sprint in the interim. The only good that came out of it was that I eventually became so irate that they let me out of my contract.

So I'm leary of sending it back to HTC again. But I also don't feel I should have to pay Sprint to look at the phone and then replace it. Between the phone issues, the wimax and LTE that never came and the $10/month I paid to not have it, the awful 3G speeds, and the ditching of premier customers, I've pretty much reached the end of my rope with HTC and Sprint. And this is after being a loyal customer for 13 years.

Sorry for the rant, I can just empathize with your situation.

This is a very lofty goal. Moto f*cked this thing so much that we would need a miracle to unlock 2.3.5. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, and with no development experience myself I have no room to talk. I just know that others have tried and have been fruitless, or frauds... I do hope you can crack this **** open, however. This is a devoted community and the ones still with a photon know how great a device we have. I plan on using this phone until it won't boot anymore and I hope that we can bring it to its full potential.

Okay ladies and gentleman I know were all looking for a method to unlock bootloader for 2.3.5 on our photons, don't give up. I'm using my photon on family mobile by doing the methods described in a previous thread. I used RSD lite to flash a us cellular sbf file. I followed all instructions and now I'm using my locked photon on 2.3.5. I flashed kddi file and have my GSM radio unlocked with peetr's rom. Its all working smoothly so I say to all my fellow locked photon users ... you can still use your phone on any GSM network. I know we want to flash a ICS or JB rom but for the time being the method works. Don't give up cause it will be a pity if xda lets this awesome phone go.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattyhank:
Hey all, I have a question. I got a nice, new sandisk SD card for my GS3 for Christmas. I am use the the Epic where when you put in the SD card all music, photos, backups, downloads, etc go directly to the SD card. How, if possible, can I get it to work this way on the GS3? I haven't been using a SD card up to this point and when looking in my storage it appears as though it made a "fake" SD card location on the phone memory. I want all that gets put in the "fake SD" on my actual SD card. I know I can just copy it over, but will all the apps recognize the move? Also I want future SD items to go directly to the SD card.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The thing is that on the S3 it also has an internal storage site

Theres a thread in the General section (i think) on how to swap the internal storage with external

I'm on the Sprint GS3 and something weird has happened when I flashed two completely different roms that has never happened for as long as I've been flashing Roms dating back to the Samsung epic. I flashed the Avatars Rom and the Liquid Smooth Rom and as I went to sync my contacts I put my email address and password in and it said "could not connect to server". Any reason or fix to that problem.

Are you on WiFi? Might be either a signal drop or wrong password, but I can't think of anything else other than a weak data connection.

If you have wifi, use it. If not, Odin back to stock and start fresh. Sometimes between flashes certain things stick and u just don't realize. I flashed from one TW rom to another with a full wipe and a lock screen setting stuck thru it.

Hi :)

Sorry, not able to help with you problem, but I do want to give you heads up:

I was in similar position, although with different devices. I came across this article from whatsapp:

http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/21009863/

The part I want to caution you about just in case you are switching regularly:

"If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying WhatsApp. So, please do not repeatedly switch between different devices."

So whatsapp is seeing the different ROM's as different devices. Interesting...

When it was working before, was it on the same two ROM's? Or did one or both of them changed now?

I accidentaly flashed in a i9100G ROM on my i9100 (regular one, no NFC and nothing extra), not even an unlocked one, and i lost all my phone thingys.

But i am a bit nerdie, so i searched for my problem here, and discovered that flashing an 9100G modem is a really bad idea, so i decided to flash an LP7 MODEM/RIL back and evrything went to normal (at least in my case) :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] marylex@29:
oh i see... my phone is unlocked and not provided by a network or something... it still working here though unlike the I9000 with wrong imei that i have flashed before... i wasnt able to back up the EFS of this phone before this happened due to it was hard bricked...

better backing up your EFS folder to your SD card cause it contains a very important file...

Because T889 & N7105 are have same Qualcomm 9215 baseband chip, is there any way to Enabling LTE Feature on My Note 2 T889?

Not yet. We're expecting a software release sometime next year to do this. Who knows, maybe a dev here will figure it out sooner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
We can enable it, but there is no way to test it since there is no LTE on the tmo network. LTE has been present in tmo phones all the way back to the GS2 t989.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] braintez:
I'm curious about this as well. I read the thread about enabling AWS on the i317, however all the files in that discussion seemed to be related to that particular phone and not for the t889.

I surmise that we need either the .qcn file from a stock i317 or the NV parameter to enable LTE.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

As the subject reads I am running Steel Droid v11 and V6 Supercharger. My question is will using compcache settings with supercharger help me or hurt me? If it helps, what would be the optimal setting?

Side note, props to the Steel Droid dev, as well as zeplinrox for bringing us the V6 Supercharger script!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You shouldn't use Compcache with the V6 supercharger because it interferes with the way V6 allocates memory as well as low level memory groupings. If you want some tips for improving the performance on your Droid let me know :).

You are the man! Thank you so much!! I've got the Droid 1 and have been scouraging through this forum, looking for what I thought was the best. Being new the forums in general its tough to know what is already outdated, even if its only been a few months since the post.

Tell me what you think of this, I am running Steel Droid v11 with the V6, using the kernal that came with v11. As of today I'm 100% supercharged with my launcher at Bulletproof! It actually seems to be running pretty smooth, a few FC's once in a while but running the emissions script fixes those until reboot. Is that the latest and greatest as of now? I know that not a whole lot is happening on the Droid 1 so I want to have the best I can.

I don't know if you're still around, but I have CM7.2 and the deprimed kernel. Basically I'm replicating what you had on your OG Droid. I'm having problems finding some of the build.prop tweaks. I'm using root explorer, build.prop editor, and I've installed busybox. I can't find some of the tweaks. Do I need to add them, or do anything else to find/add them?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Hey I'm still around I will be playing with my Droid 1 forever, good droids never die :cool:! Getting to your question which build.prop tweaks are you having trouble finding and can't seem to locate? For the build.prop tweaks you either edit an already existing value for example if you wanted to change the Dalvik Virtual Machine heap size from 32 MB to 48 you would change the "dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m" property to "dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m", and so on with the other build.prop variables you want to change. If there are build.prop variables you want to add that aren't included add them to the end of the build.prop after leaving a blank line then the build.prop variables you want to add. Let me know if you have any more questions :).
