I have the HTC One phone and have been unable to connect it via Miracast to a Netgear PTV3000 at highest resolution. For me the Miracast connection always establishes at 720p instead of the preferred native 1080p TV resolution. The PTV3000 during the "boot/waiting for connection process" does appear in 1080p. During the initial Miracast connection setup, the phone is physically located within inches of the PTV3000 device. I tried the PTV3000 2.4.19 public firmware as well as the 2.4.22 beta firmware but neither resolves the issue. There is little documentation available about HTC's Miracast/Wireless Display support and I'm not sure if the phone even supports 1080p Miracast. I'm stumped on this issue. I'm interested to hear if anyone has the HTC One connected via Miracast at full 1080p. I've also tried using Miracast support on the Nexus 7 2013 tablet and Sony Xperia Z tablet and have the same results (connect only at 720p, No 1080p support).

So long story short my home button doesn't work and my phone won't turn on. Do I have to plug in my USB jig and return to stock and lose everything or is there some other way i could get into recovery mode? Is there any way to get into recovery mode from download mode? I can't use adb reboot recovery because it just says device offline so is there any way around that?

This weekend I finally came to understand the frustration many developers have with ETA's. My friend bricked his phone, corrupting everything but fastboot. I ask him what he did right before it stopped working, but instead of answering my question, he just kept asking me what to do. By the end of this whole ordeal my friend is begging me to just pull a stable ROM for his legacy device running android 4.3 out of my butt. Now every time I see him, he wants to know how long until its ready. I tried explaining to him that this is really not my top priority in life, but of course he doesn't seem to understand priorities or time management. Just thought I would post this as it really struck me how annoyed developers must feel when users ask for ETA's.

Hi everyone !

Recently, I've tried to unlock and play with my new Htc One mini, but it seems to have caught in an endless boot loop.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Maybe someone can give me a link to a RUU, I've been searching, but didn't find anything yet.

Here's what I did :

Unboxed the phone

Played with the branded android version for 10 minutes,

Unlocked the bootloader

Installed a Deodexed rom ( you can find it in the development section, there is only one)

And there I go, first boot seems normal, but if I reboot, I get stuck in the loop.

The loop itself only starts after the first reboot, and if I wipe cache, dalvik, data, I can boot normally.

It seems also, that after the reboot made after the bootloader unlock, the loop was here already.

So do you think it comes from the phone, or from what I've made to it ?

I'd appreciate any answer, thanks !

[HTC One Mini] Boblud:
I have the same issue. Eventually, I wiped everything I could except TWRP recovery. Sideloaded ROM and started from scratch.

Loaded Revone and then S-off.

relocked (except it didn't) by" adb oem lock"

All that did the trick. Now it works fine.

Good luck

Hi,

i know this has came up alot, i was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for the xda exec crashing when a text is recieved. This does not happen to me often but it does happen and is quite annoying as the text is lost sometimes.

Also i find that sometimes when i leave my phone closed in clam shell mode overnight i wake up and open the phone but it seemed to be crashed. There was one night when my girlfriend sent me 3 txts during that night and she got delivery reports saying they were delivered,once i turnt my phone on in the morning it was frozen and i had to soft reset but didnt get any of her txts. Im now trialling to leave the phone on in standard pda mpde (screen facing out) overnight to see if it happens this way or not.

Michael

p.s: im using the standard rom that came with the phone

rom: 1.13.48

radio: 1.04.02

protocol: 42.37.P8
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
Yes the problem is very much there still. I have been using the Jasjar for almost 3 months now. During these 3 months this is my 2nd Jasjar and the problem is on both my units.

The chances of SMS freezing the Jasjar is more likely when the available RAM is below 17 MB. So what I am doing to reduces chances of this happening is to soft reset when the available RAM is below 18 MB. However this is still no gaurantee though it does reduce the chances of the Jasjar freezing upon receiving a text message.

This is a very annoying problem as this makes the whole thing so unreliable. You will never know that a text message has come through and caused your Jasjar to freeze till you need to use your phone again, and if during this period someone tries to contact you his call will not get through.

May I also mention that a few days back I also upgraded my Jasjar with the O2 ROM but the problem was still there. Furthermore I am convinced that this problem is not being caused by any 3rd party software. I can say so with confidence because I have hard rest several times and found the problem to be there even when no third party software was installed.

My only hope is now a ROM upgrade which I heard is due in December. I this does not solve the problem at least for me I can say that I am quitting and the Nokia 9500 will be my next phone.

@mho,

which mode are you using. I had the SMS freezing problem with my JJ but with my Exec in Corporate mode I have not suffered this. However, I have noticed that since I downloaded the latest ROM from the O2 my Exec is less stable then with the original ROM!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mho:
i am using the corporate mode, its mroe stable than the basic mode but upon recieving ssm it still crashes.

i think im going to call o2 today and ask them to change my phone. I thinking of samsung sgh-i300 now.

such a shame cos i really like the exec, if i didnt need a reliable txt function so much i wouldnt really care about it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
When I tried the O2 ROM on my i-mate Jasjar I also opted for the corporate mode and this still did not solve the text message freeing problem. I therefore shifted back to the original i-mate Jasjar ROM

Did you guys have Pocket Informant or TCMP + ffdshow/ac3 codec pack installed by any chance?

My SMS was perfectly fine until yesterday I installed the above, and upon receiving an SMS my exec (corp) hung...

Hard resetting now...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I have TCMP installed and running on the original corporate ROM and NEVER had the crash upon receiving SMS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
When I had my JJ I did get the freezing problem with receipt of a SMS - but I was also using Pocket Informant. On my Exec on Corp mode I don't use Pocket Informant but use Agenda Fusion and have never suffered the SMS issue. Looks like it could be a third-party app (I also may have used a Today screen plug-in on my JJ, which I don't use anymore) causing the SMS problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
OK this is starting to peeve me..... hard reset, didn't install TCMP, only installed PI trial and SMS hang issue is back...argh!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mho:
no, i had no 3rd party apps and it still hung. I think someelse also didnt have any 3rd party apps and had this problem too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
thx mho... I'll test it out for a day or two more and if it still hangs I'm calling O2. I have a suspicion that it's an issue to do with the memory leaks, probably due to filehandles not being closed when accessing an SD card with LOTS of files in it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
Happening again after being ok for 2 days... calling O2 today...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mniko:
Yes it is true... I am having same prob too... Even after hardreset without any 3rd party applications, after a while after softreset, my phone does freeze... Some time I am not even able to read the message.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
Not sure how scientific this is - but I had the 'crash on SMS' quite a bit in the first week or so of using my Exec.

The first time it happened, I thought it might be to do with insufficient resources, so I regularly closed down background tasks and did occasional soft-resets to 'clean it up'. This didn't seem to make much difference.

HOWEVER, this week I've basically just made sure POutlook is actually running at all times, and I've not had a single problem.

When I fancy the old 'close all tasks' if I've got a load of apps running in the background - I just follow it with a swift press of the "envelope" button.

It SEEMS to be working!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
Except I spoke too soon. Graaagh. :evil:

Came back to a flashing orange LED, opened up to see, and the thing had frozen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
doh! :evil:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I had the SMS freeze problem with my JJ now I only have it with email download over GPRS. Unfortunately a lot of Universal fans here don't think there are any problems with the Universal while the rest of us are trying to find workarounds. A bit annoying really.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
It must be from the service provider, because someone already tested it after a hard reset with nothing installed and still getting these SMS freezes. It could also be the phone. It is hard to pinpoint because I don't see any Cingular-USA complaining of SMS freezing. As most Universal users are in the UK.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] airbag14:
If it's any consolation.....happens to me once in a while too.....don't think it could be the network.....but maybe some O2 files??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Irishfella:
no freeze but SMS just not received

see my post - only receiving some SMS - this is related to an XDA 2i

on O2 network

the more I trail this forum for SMS issues the more I am concerned that this is a serious bug with the phone.

I have done extensive troubleshooting on this and can confirm that it is a) not related to any loaded SW or backup, b) happening on nearly all XDA derivates to some extend, C) is mainly related to the unit trying to "wake up" (which is normal for SMS receive). Pattern seems to be that combined with a weak signal the XDA wakes up, looses network, re-aquires but the receive failed. The confirmation that the message was received is however already deliverd as the XDA woke up. I can re-create this behaviour at will now. If you send two messages within a short time frame the Second message only will be received. So it is definitely related to the unit waking up.

My XDA was with O2 for repair twice and no change in behaviour. they have agreed to exchange - but see above - form the posts here I think that it is a general problem with the unit
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
Wary of what I posted earlier, but I've not had this issue since then, and recvd loads of SMS's whilst trying to sort out tickets & travel for the Hudds vs Chelsea game!

The ONLY change I've made is to remove PocketBreeze and install SpB Diary in its place.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
irishfella: that's very interesting. It sounds to me like it might be possible to brnig out a new ROM which actually makes sure the SMS has been received before sending the message back to the network saying it has been received. Presumably some kind of handshake occurs with the receiving phone sending something to the network saying "I have received this message". Surely that can be delayed until the message has been stored, can't it? (I mean the device should write it away, then reload it to check it has been received properly and THEN say it has arrived).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Irishfella:
Melty - agree

that this would be an approach to solve the issue, but what concerns me more is that I do not know what causes the connection to drop on SMS receive only - calls will be received regardless. (voltage drop?) I am waiting for my replacement unit and then test again. However from reading here I not confident that I will not see this happening on the new one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Friends, when I had a JJ on Vodafone I got the bill for the first month and it went on for pages (8-10 pages double sided print). The reason was that when using GPRS/UMTS the JJ kept connecting and disconnecting (each connection was a separate entry). I think there may be a problem with the way the Universal communicates with some networks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] airbag14:
Hey guys! Realised that even with the latest Exec ROM, SMS causing hangs problem still here!

BUT!! Seems to me that if I leave the Messaging in Today, it doesn't hang as much/doesn't hang..........

If u take Messaging out, then the problem appears again. It's my first day thru without any hangs so far........ can anyone else verify this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
airbag, can you do an experiment for me? Try changing your SD card to a different one (different capacit) and test it for a day or two... I keep suspecting it's an SD card issue on resume, complicated by the huge start time of pocket outlook when receiving an sms.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Irishfella:
et all

reading the last posts I want to clarify something -

as I said from reading the forum the SMS receive problem happens on all derivates with various symptoms - on the Alpine the unit does not freeze, but the behavioral pattern is the same.

Obviously on the Univers the situation is aggrevated by the unit actually freezing. - but still I bet you can confirm the behaviour if you just watch what happens on the screen when the unit wakes up when you send an SMS.

On the SD card issue - card in or out does not make a difference on the Alpine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Irishfella:
Re Melty

on your suggestion earlier on to change the ROM to check first that the message was received before sending a confirmation -

in hindsight I do not think that would work (not for Universal as the unit actually freezes) and also not for others as I think that this is controlled by the radio. (all radio versions seem to suffer from this)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Yeah I think you're right. I guess it's the device manufacturers who would corrrect this issue, i.e. by releasing an updated version of the Radio which fixed it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
This could be significant. When I had PocketBreeze I let that display my messages on the Today screen. Now with SPB Diary I have Messaging on Today, along with the Diary.

It definitely feels like it works a lot better.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] airbag14:
doody....tried with a 256mb SD card, seems to be fine. I'm using a 2GB SD card as my primary.......

I did notice however that there's a couple of times when the sms comes in, the notification comes on a little slow, but at least it doesn't hang..... or at least so far.

Even with 2 smses coming in concurrently, it's still recieving fine! I went with the Basic Install (Just for the fun of it....O2 Active looks kinda cool and with the Active, there's SO many customization features just like SPH or something like that) But Active makes it slower definitely. It runs fine when Active is not in use though, leaves the free program memory at about 25mb after soft reset, with Active runinng, it's about 17-18mb left!!

I've also got TCPMP, MAPKing GPS, SPB GPRS Monitor, ClearVue PDF,Scarybear Notifications/ClearNotify, Fann Software ConverterCE, Total Commander, Scott Seligman Launcher, PHM registry Editor, at least 9 kinds of registry hack done and the set seems to be running fine.

Current Storage memory left is about 32mb as I've installed O2 Active, TCPMP and some other stuffs in my empty EXT ROM folder......

So I guess it wasn't a conflict of software or where I installed the programs that caused the hangs
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
Hi airbag14

Please keep us posted on the behaviour of your universal specially the SMS issue as you see it over the next few days. In case switching over the SD card has resolved it, I would definitely go for a different SD card.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TraumaTiger:
I'm following this thread with great anticipation as I've upgraded to the latest O2 rom and I still get the occasional freeze on arrival of an SMS. Major pain in the butt.

Hows it been with a different SD Card ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] airbag14:
Hi all.......been trying out on a 2GB Kingston, 256mb Toshiba and a 256mb Sandisk........ All's good........never had a hang due to SMS after I left the Messaging on in Today.....but one thing to note, as I use a spare batt, I basically have to go thru at least one soft reset a day due to the batt change.

But before I left the Messaging on, I'll have the SMS hang problem once every couple of hours, leading to numerous soft resets a day.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
For those suffering from the SMS problem, have you tried to disable the PowerSave option to see if this makes a difference? I don't use PowerSave as it caused all sorts of problems with access to media files on the SD card.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TraumaTiger:
Disabling powersave would mean the device stays on when a text was received, so if it happened in the middle of the night for me, It would not get switched off until 8am and the battery would probably be dead by then.

I prefer trying to find the reason why it's freezing and the memory card sounds like a possible solution. I think I'll invest in a high speed card next week.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@TraumaTiger, with PowerSave disabled if you shut the camshell there is not a lot of power drain, honest. Also I tend to charge my Exec overnight so battery drain is not an issue. Could someone try the PowerSave option disabled to see if it works.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
Just have Messaging on the Today screen....I *definitely* no longer have a problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TraumaTiger:
OK, I'll give that a try, certainly cheaper than getting a new sd card.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
@FunkyMagic by leaving the messaging application on the today screen do you mean to check the messaging application by going to the "Start / Settings / Today / Items" and checking the Messaging application. If this is what you mean I have done so right now and will observe the behaviour over the next few days. I will keep you all posted on what I observe.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TraumaTiger:
That didn't work for me, I had a freeze within 15 minutes.

I think I'll invest in another Secure Digital Card very soon.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
Dont turn it off, close the clam, it doesnt suck that much power.

Leave messaging on the today screen.

If necessary, run messaging and leave it in the background, it doesnt consume that much memory.

Dont turn it off

The only time it happens is if I turn off the device, which is extremely rare (1 per month), otherwise I just close the clam.

I also have a slow bog standard cheap 1 gig SD card.

Screen brightness is going to be your biggest power sucker, turn it down to 1/5 of its capability, and your phone power will last 5 times longer.

1. Leave it on, dont switch it off

2. Leave messaging on

3. Leave the SD card alone

The only time SD cards are a problem really are for those people that have installed today screen plug ins to sd card or use memory readers to constantly monitor the sd card.

Really, somebody has mentioned these answers several times in this post, and why people keep going on about the sd card is beyond me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
ps, the only time my phone has crashed with an sms is if the power is turned off, and as posted, it is the delay time in waking up, especially if you have today screen plug ins installed on the sd card
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
And Agile freezing?

I know it is too stupid for words: Agile freezes every now an then.

When text arrives....

I always thought it was related to the notification sound.

Has nothing to do with the SMS freezing which also bothers me?

I try Jah's advice and leave my Jasjar on for a while.

It is now 23:30, battery has 84%. Curious how much it will have after an eight hours sleep.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Now, next morning my battery was on 51% or so . So that is quite a drain while doing nothing.

And today I had another crash receiving a message, while Jasjar was switched on.

so I willhave it auto switch off again, as I see no diffference.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@herpi, thanks for trying the PowerSave test. I just received my XDA Exec from repairs today with the latest firmware. I will see how it behaves over the next few days.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
dont know what you have installed, but try this:

1. Disable all of your today plugins, memory card, memory, and battery monitors entirely

2. Remove all of your startups

3. Use only the messaging plug in on your today screen

4. Reset your device

5. Launch messaging, then press ok

6. Leave the machine on over night

This will rule out any issue with your software installations, and leave as a pure wm2005 device, or close to... If it works its your customisations, if it doesnt work, its your device.

I received 12 SMS text overnight successfully and have the latest release of all: SPB PP, SPB Diary, SPB GPRS, SPB Weather, Resco Today (Ram reader only, no other memory or battery monitors), and messaging on the today screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FunkyMagic:
