[HTC Sensation] anirudh611:
I am facing a problem as my power button is suddenly not working and I am sure the phone did not undergo any physical disturbance to have this problem. Also my capactive lights don't work and then blink when I boot the phone.

I am running ViperS 3.1.0. Any suggestions to fix the issue? Please guide me through if anything can be done.
[HTC Sensation] murtazasamiwala:
Hey,

The power button does take a fairly longer press to bring up the power menu...I am experiencing that too..

But other than that the power button is working fine...to lock the screen...and to bring up the bootloader when switched off
[HTC Sensation] anirudh611:
No it is not the problem. It was fine this morning but suddenly the problem is appearing, I don't know why this is happening.

Also the Capacitive button lights don't work this was not the case before on ViperS
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
can you boot now to the OS?

if not then boot to the bootloader and reboot from there

after that go to settings and untick fastboot

turn off the device and turn it on again

see how it goes
[HTC Sensation] anirudh611:
I can boot to the OS, also after I boot and do as u say. I am unable to bring the power menu as the power button is not responsive.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
have you done anything lately that could affected power button?
[HTC Sensation] anirudh611:
Nothing I did to disturb the power button. Also when I pull the battery and put it in again the phone just starts by itself without having to press the power button.
[HTC Sensation] raymosaurus:
When you're in Android, does pressing the power button not turn the screen off/on? Does the power button respond at all in any situation?

Since putting the battery in is causing the phone to power on without pressing the power button, I wonder if the power button is stuck on. When you put battery in and power up, what happens if you hold volume down button? Does it go to bootloader?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pm2gonzales:
I have an R800 running Xperia NXT 2 with DooMKernel. I want to move to a JB rom, to flash a JB kernel, but I can't boot in to fastboot. I've tried doing it manually (holding search/menu button while connecting to PC), which just boots to the battery charging logo or does nothing. I've also tried using Flashtool, which just ends up rebooting in to the OS via reboot in to fastboot (via adb). USB Debugging is enabled and connectivity is MSC, NOT MTP. Just out of curiosity, does sim unlock have anything to do with it? The phone's been BL unlocked via TP method. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I think you can only use flashboot mode when unlocked with tespoint method (holding back while connecting to pc)

Here you can find various kernels for flashboot.

So. My sister recently got a Verizon Galaxy S4 (i have no idea what model # or anything, as she lives on the other side of town) and she recently dropped it down some concrete stairs. She ended up breaking the screen (and possibly the digitizer) but the device still turns on. The blue light in the top left comes on, and the soft keys light up. Shes in desperate need of help because parts of her upcoming wedding plans (stored in pics, docs, and pdfs) are trapped inside this now half broken phone. She is unrooted, did not have USB debug enabled, and had a pin code on her phone. Is there any way i can adb in, or connect it to some program (win7) that would be able to pull all her internal sd card files and dump them on my computer? Any help is much appreciated.

You can't just connect via USB and pull the files from the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Galaxys4bean:
You can connect it to a pc via usb and see if the sd card pops up on the pc, dont see how that would be a problem. Then move the files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toxicoblivion:
Well, she had a passcode lock on her phone, and assuming the S4 is like my Htc One, if you have a passcode and plug it in to the computer, you have to enter the code at least once on the device before it allows storage access.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toxicoblivion:
No i have not. I dont have access to the phone right now. Im visiting her Thursday, so thats when ill bring it home and really be able to fiddle with it. *Although* she says the sd card didnt show up on her computer. Device did. Storage didnt.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toxicoblivion:
Can you try setting a pin on your device, rebooting it, and then plugging it in to the comp immeadiately after it boots, and tell me if phone is accessable without entering your pin or unlocking the device?

My Qtek 9090 takes 12 seconds to connect to my D-Link AP when I turn it on - without encryption! Is this normal? My Ipaq 5450 used less than 6! What do you have, and what brand of AP?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] weasel:
I have seen my XDA2s take over 20 second to connect to an access point.

I use a USRobotics AP with 128-bit encryption at home, and my local pub has a D-Link without encryption.

I haven't checked out whether encryption is a factor though
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Mastiff:
Do you find that acceptable? I don't even accept 12 sec! The problem is that I don't know if any other high class PDA phones are better. I will ask about the XDA III in the general networking forum.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] weasel:
I find that the connection time is not significantly more than what I'm getting from my laptops, and I usually connect for a long time, so 10+ secs is just about bearable.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Mastiff:
Wow! Well, different uses, I guess. Besides the phone part (which would probably count for 5-10 % of my use time) I use NetRemote (probably 80 % - the rest is surfing the Net and such, and having to wait 12 seconds, sometimes even longer, before I can send any commands after turning the PDA on is very annoying. Most of the time there's two or three commands to send, and then it's off again. I can't understand why it takes so much longer than my old Ipaq 5450.

Hello!

I've just started using Xperia Z Jellybean v3 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2267230). The only problem I have is that I don't like the built in camera app. Do you know if one can make the stock google jellybean camera app work? I tried downloading a zip with it, but the picture came out weird. Or can you recommend another good looking camera app that will work?

Also, how do you change the preferred camera in the Xperia Z lockscreen?

If it's jb rom, you'll have some problems with camera.. There's not yet full support of camera in jb roms for 2011 xperias. You also can check Slim Bean 4.0 thread in dev section, they have 6/8MP support with 720p recording on 18fps :)

If you have the zip, then you just flash it in twrp or cwm recovery.

I believe blue kuban is deodexed, I don't know if that's the problem or not. You don't specify what rom you are on or whether you are stock. I am stock rooted MF9, stock kernel, and odexed.

I had to revert to stock and then update profile.

Works though, I am also not in the coverage area. But I can make calls.

Thanks for the tip frogman, I had to update profile as well but it worked. Another note for others: The MSL password freedompop gave me during its setup instructions did not work, but updating profile afterwards did.

Here's a speed test on 4G in the Houston area. Not too shabby for a 100% free service!!

[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
I just flashed my old bedside Evo 4g (it's seriously been an alarm clock for months) back to Sprint from Cricket and activated it with FreedomPop. I bought it a couple years ago thinking it had a bad ESN and I could save a few bucks using it on Cricket. I would have never imaged that today I would be activating it for totally free service.

My alarm clock has just become highly capable off wifi again lol.

Crazy.

It's time to get back in to developing on this thing again.
[EVO 4G General] impala454:
Update: Seems to work nicely so far. The only things I'd note are that the VoIP is a tad slow. If I make a call in the same room with someone I notice about a 1 second delay between them actually talking and me hearing them on the phone. Also I really don't like the text messaging app. It cuts off part of the text message with the balloon graphic. Not sure if there's any way around that. It'd be nice if they'd hijack the default messaging app in the same way they did the phone app so it'd be truly seamless. But oh well, it is FREE.

i got it working, finally. i had to get my own msl unlock code.

Anyways, i just got the phone off of CL. I want to root it.

before i can root it, i need to unlock the bootloader, and it would factory reset the phone. Would the factory reset mess up the freedompop setup?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I just got my (retired) OG set up on this. Was pretty straightforward. Once the device is activated, you should be able to unlock/S-OFF/whatever. I'm about to check and see if it's possible to use a JellyBean ROM with it. It should be fine.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Works on CM10.1. And I can still use Google Voice for my other number through the native dialer, if I want. Very nice.
[EVO 4G General] cfli1688c1:
Which rom did you flash? Would the 422 aokp rom work?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Any ROM should work, as long as you activate it on stock first. Once it's activated it should stay that way.

Keep in mind though that you lose WiMAX once you flash a non-Gingerbread ROM. Call quality did seem adequate over 3G, though (surprisingly).
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Would someone mind sharing the search terms you used to find instructions on how to flash to Freedom pop? I've searched Google and even on Freedom pop's website. I'm willing to search, but just need a little help to get started.

[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
EVO 3D doesn't work - I tried it. I think the EVO 4G might be the only phone they're supporting initially (since it's the one they offer). And you have to use the MEID DEC - HEX won't work.

Works but horrible battery life

I pulled my 3 1/2 year old EVO 4G out of the drawer it was banished to after upgrading to the EVO 4G LTE to try out FreedomPop. Amazingly it worked on whatever aftermarket ROM I had put on the thing, WiMax and all. But even with the 3500mah battery the life is terrible! On WiFi it lasts over a day, but any time I leave the house with it the thing is dead in less than 6 hours. Turning off 4G seems to help, but not much.

I'm flashing back to the stock ROM to see if that helps. The aftermarket ROM had serious troubles with crashing apps, so maybe it was to blame.

Amazing to have free phone service and 4G again in LTE-less Denver.

I purchased a Evo 4g from Freedom pop. Coming from the HTC DROID Incredible world, I want to root/s-off this device. As far as I can tell, it's bootloader is unlocked with S-on and cwm recover installed already. Anyone know what I need to go next?
[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
Figured out how to root - just flashed su zip file in recovery.

Next, to attempt to get s-off.

[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Try looking at Zedomax's YouTube videos on how to root the Evo. They're very helpful and provides a step by step instruction on full root with s-off.He even links all the files you will need.
[EVO 4G General] toplist:
I received my HTC EVO 4G from freedompop yesterday. It has LOCKED (OOW) and S-ON. It's on HBOOT-2.18.0001 and RADIO-2.15.00.01.15.

I want to root and s-off too. How did you achieve root (instructions)? I want to delete all the bloatware that came with the phone since the storage is only 1Gb.

How is your battery life? I went to sleep with full charge and when I woke up in the morning (8 hrs later), it was dead (I had wifi on but no 4G). I would like to flash a custom rom with a good battery life for this phone.

Can you make call with Mobile Network(3G) Wifi off? The phone seemed to be connected to Sprint's network but freedompop service doesn't work without Mobile Network(3G) or Wifi.
[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
My phone came unlocked already but with s-on. I think had Cwm 5.8 already installed too. I still haven't s-off it.

But flashing the su file rooted my phone.

See if you have recovery installed. Pull the battery out, put it back in, hold - volume button and power.

When you get to white screen, select recovery by hitting + or - buttons and power to activate. If cwm loads, you might be good to try flashing the su file.

There are a couple of threads about this on this forum. Take a look.

Battery life is weak with the 1500 mah battery. I bought 3500 mah ones on eBay.

You can't make calls without an Internet connection either wifi or 3g 4g.

[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
After doing some additional research it seems like you don;t need S-Off to flash Roms or be rooted on this model. So one less step. But it seems like you do need to unlock the bootloader first to be able to install a recovery programs.

According to another thread, S-Off would be needed if you were going to need to flash an updated Radio firmware.
[EVO 4G General] toplist:
I followed the link from Zedomax's YouTube video and unlocked and rooted the phone. The instruction was easy to follow but decided not to S-off.

I tried Evervolv 3.2 08-05 nightly and OGKang M2 rom and booted fine on both. However, when I opened the freedompop messaging app and entered my email address, it gets on "loading, please wait" and nothing else happens. So, I flashed the jellybread rom based on gingerbread and everything is working great.

Go to Freedompop website and click on Bring Your Own Phone. It will ask for your zip code and email adress, then street address. After that, you enter MEID number (go to setting>about phone to find it) and your option to choose a plan. They have a free plan with 200 minutes, 500 texts, and 500 MB Data. You enter billing information (if you choose free plan, you're charged nothing) and click on "Activate".

They send you an email with further instruction on how to reset the phone and activate it on Freedompop account. They give you a MSL number and you dial "##786#" and click on menu to get on reset option and enter your MSL number, phone reboots and you are activated on Freedompop network.

I came to the party late, but it is great to see that this device has been adored by the xda community. Many of you may have an Evo 4G somewhere in the house. Now, you can enjoy a free phone plan and save $$$.

FML, this can't be this hard, can it?!?!

I followed all the instructions (FORGET trying to talk to a real person, there are like 3 people working out of some dudes basement in the Bay area), and after entering the MSL code, I reboot, and when I touch the Android for setup, IT TAKES ME TO THE DIALER SCREEN. And that's it. No where to go, except back to the idiot android. I've tried a factory reset, no luck. Please, Sweet Baby Jesus, what is there to do?!?

I want to love them, but it's so hard...

Did you update prl and profile?
[EVO 4G General] eyeguy616:
Just received an Evo 4g from freedompop. It works pretty well, free calls and data, though my area doesn't seem to have 4g. Finding android 2.3.5 a bit limiting, so I wanted to see if I could upgrade firmware. The power+vol-down startup has the following: unlocked, hboot 2.18.0001, S-ON, radio 2.15.00.01.15, dec 21, 2011. Was able to go into clockworkmod recovery (came on phone, v5.8.0.1). Currently making a backup.

I've already activated the service for the phone, so would I then just be able to flash whatever rom? Bit of a newb to this, though mostly just worried of losing the freedompop connection, since it had a little "FP" icon at the top and and bootloading screen and such whenever it was working. Any info I should prepare first or other misc things?
[EVO 4G General] cfli1688c1:
as long as you have fp setup and working on 2.3.5, you can flash any rom. I was able to flash the last 4.?? rom and still have fp working.
[EVO 4G General] mvmacd:
If I flash a custom ROM on an already activated evo 4g on stock gingerbread, how would I put it back to freedompop stock ROM? Is there a RUU or similar for it?
[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
make a backup using the installed CWM 5.8.0.1 recovery. The backup and restore does work.

one thing to note if it hasn't been, if you move to anything but a Gingerbread ROM, you will lose the functionality of the Front Facing Camera and the 4G radio. It's a shame as I am getting frustrated with the Gingerbread OS and want to move to atleast Jellybean.
