Petition for recall?

Do you guys think it's time to petition HTC for a recall of the MicroDrive? I have no idea how something like this will work but based on the feedback on the forum...there are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many people having problems with the MicroDrive. Those that use it seriously have problems.

I myself don't have time as most of my time is being spent on the Athena Project ROM but maybe someone else can help in the matter.

What do you guys think? A massive communication effort to HTC to find out what the heck is going on here? We paid wayyyy too much money for them to think we'll be happy with what we have if there is one or two faulty parts. The one part that keeps failing us is the MicroDrive and I think it's time to get a few answers. It's our right as the consumer and get answers and the quality product that we anticipated.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ronald2oo2:
I totally agree and was just trying to report my problems -including the link to this forum/thread- on the HTC site.

HTC however seems a little bit e-mail shy. Last time I checked I could not find any e-mail link at the HTC site, now I could find one but everytime when I submit my message I get a popup 'the system is experiencing some problem, please try again at a later time'.

I try again later.

I was on holiday in the u.s.a in July, and had tomtom installed (on the MD, no more room on the card), all of a sudden, it froze while driving, had to pull over and found that my usa maps had been wiped! luckily I also had igo installed with some usa maps and was able to continue my holiday without having my head stuck in a paper map, thanks for the dodgy MD HTC!:mad:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Yes, this happened to me - both the sd card and md are equally unreliable. At the moment,I install everything on my md simply because it is way way faster than the sd card. I don't use my sd card at all now,although I have two of them.

When you copy files using wm5torage, avoid starting a new copy before the one before completes. Similarly, do not use the device while copying is going on , although the system does not stop you. What I observe is that there is a higher chance of corruption when I don't observe these practice.

I used to think that md is less reliable than sd. Now I don't think that anymore. I think they are equally unreliable.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] PAQ898:
Which Tomtom version are you using? do you have WM5 or WM6? What is your Rom version?

Guys, is there a way to easily reproduce the problem in MicroDrive and SD so we can pass it to HTC and hopefully get a solution?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] daveheine:
My new Advantage is less than 24 hours old and I too have had the Microdrive come with garbage while trying to move videos files from my PC to the PDA. I have formatted it and reloaded it, so wish me luck!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Fixerboy:
Exactly the same story here - 7501 (WM6) less than 24 hours old.

- unable to accessed until formatted

- sometimes not showing directories/files until a soft reset

- returning messages like 'disk full or write protected' when copying from desktop

The worst of it is losing a 126Mb wmv file during one of these false 'disc write protected/full' events.

There has to be a serious issue with the OS that has to be fixed.

How do we build a poll of users with this problem?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Fixerboy:
Folks,

I have a reply from a message I sent to info@htc.com last week:

Hello Bart,

Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC regarding the problems you are having with your HTC Advantage device.

Bart, we regret to see that you are having problems with the micro drive in your HTC Advantage device. If you could forward us several examples of other users having the same issues, we will forward them to our product development team for resolution. Please forward me the following information for each example:

* Serial Number

* IMEI

Identity

* OS Version -

* Radio Version -

On receipt of enough examples for these issues, we will be able to prioritize the resolution of this problem.

How can we collect this information so we can provide a united front to HTC?

Do we need a moderator to post a 'sticky' message at the top of this forum?

Btw to get this info

* Serial Number

- inside the battery compartment door flap

* IMEI

- inside the battery compartment door flap

or

- Start >> Seetings >> System Tab >> Device Infomation icon >> Identity

* OS Version -

- Start >> Seetings >> System Tab >> Device Infomation icon >> Version

* Radio Version -

- Start >> Seetings >> System Tab >> Device Infomation icon >> Version

Thanks

Bart

I'd like to contribute...

Did we get anywhere with this issue with HTC? I think it's a great idea, at least for the principle of the thing, to get them working on this (even if someone else can solve the problem better and faster). We could each submit a tx, but creating the "petition" for help that they seem to want would at least get some results. My reservation would be that we would be suckered into what seems like manipulative behavior on their part. After all, they are not government and we are not lobbyists.

I'm working on fixing it myself, but why are they releasing stuff I have to fix out of the box? If we can't get them to spend thier money & time fixing this stuff, we'll keep getting crap we have to fix, right? So where do we go from here? Anywhere?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Janis:
I only get flaky when I'm on 128dpi

My MD seems to work acceptibly well on either 192 or 96, it's when I shift to 128 that things start to disapear, etc.

Hmmmm. Would, perhaps, this be a result of lame drivers?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlCattivo:
Hi all,

So I have a H815-EUR International LG G4 (V10e-EUR-XX) and when I do an IMEI check (http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI) the suffix comes back as ANLDLD. (NLD as in Netherlands even though I bought it in a store in Belgium, but that doesn't matter)

I know I can flash other H815 International KDZ files without much issues.

So if I were to flash the ADEULD one, it won't cause any issue...I know that.

But what exactly is the function of these different suffixes for europe?

If I flash the german one, will my modem be different? Maybe reception won't be as good?

If LG uses the suffix to time the roll-outs of OTA updates, will my OTA's be timed with the german ones and not the Belgian/Dutch ones?

Will it have an impact on my warrenty? (Maybe they won't accept my claim in Belgium because it has german software?)

Will the software be exactly the same between the ADEULD and the ANLDLD versions?

Please enlighten me :)

Thanks

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkoreaper:
I have the 128GB model and I was transferring 32GB worth of music over to my 6P and before it completed I was getting warnings that files couldn't be copied. I stopped it and then looked at the phone on my PC and it was saying it's size was 24.1 GB. It shows the same thing when I look at the storage on the phone. What happened?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
If you flashed the factory image, it probably set the partition for userdata to the wrong size. One fix is to go into recovery and perform a factory reset from recovery and it will fix the size. I am not sure if there are other methods that can fix it without doing the reset. Another person may be able to offer a better alternative.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Did you flash the userdata.img from the factory images at some point? Doing so always allocates the smallest of the available storage sizes, so it really shouldn't be used. You can fix it by issuing this fastboot command:

fastboot format userdata

This will wipe your userdata partition so make sure you back up anything important first.

That explains it, thank you. I ended up just starting over so it's all good now.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
IR sensor yes. IR blaster no so this device can NOT be used as a Universal remote unfortunately. Personally the moto website spec list is a bit misleading. When I first read it said IR but was referring to the sensor and I took that as being a blaster too.

No matter what radio I upgrade to I have no service on my 8525, some radio roms even say no service even when the sim card isn't in. other roms just continually search and then eventually say no service. It is not the sim card, it works perfectly in my other cingular phones, and my device is unlocked anyways.

Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I would fix it? it is not the OS rom, it happens with both WM5 and WM6, everything else works with the phone, well actually my microphone wasn't working for cellular calls (when i still could make them) it would only work for the voice recorder

When you flash a radio rom, does it change everything that has to do with the cellular connection? or could something have been changed that wasn't supposed to be like how people were losing their wifi because the eeprom chip was getting erased due to OS flashing

It seems that the only radio that recognizes when I do and do not have a sim in is the 1.16 one, and even then it has no service, although it ocassionaly searches, only to say no service once again.

Also, Sim Manager, and the Phone under settings will not open
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Oliy:
Check with your provider that the IMEI of your phone has not been blocked. You should test this with a sim card from another network, but also it's worth phoning up your provider and asking them to check if your IMEI has been blocked as it doesn't propagate to all networks instantly.

This happened to me with similar symptoms, fortunately it occurred as a mistake of T-Mobile when they were blocking the current phone of the person who owned my phone originally.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cjchriscj:
I put in a t-mobile sim, and its recognized, and I get a couple of bars, however if i turn off the radio it will not let me turn it back on, and sometimes, randomly i will get no service, normally where i have full bars.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cjchriscj:

Radio Worked Now

Okay i was not sure what it was but i ran the Hermes Unlocker like 3 times and on the third attempt it worked, now i can see radio signals and make/recv. calls.

Wonder what caused this, may be i made some mistake running the unlocker first time around but even then phone should have asked me for an unlock code if sim unlock did not happen, but i am happy it works now.

But i dont think it would help you cos yours i guess is an 8525 and you are on ATT network so you dont require unlocking, but no harm in trying if you wish.

How do you usee mtty.exe?

would not connect for me - i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?

Can you write me the steps for this pls?

I just want to know what my Boot loader version is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Oliy:
Even though you have bars on T-Mo, make sure you can make calls etc - when my IMEI was blocked, o2 would report no service, but T-Mobile gave me a signal. However, I could not make calls on text with the T-Mo sim despite having signal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cjchriscj:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cjchriscj:
I wish it fixed the problem, I have to turn my phone off during school, and its a hassle to have to reset it every time I lose service, and after i turn the radio off. Also I called cingular and they did not block my IMEI, and I tried a different cingular sim and it didn't work. Thats very odd, maybe it has something to do with the band.

Hello everyone. So I'm running blekota note 4 on my Samsung GALAXY SIII GT-i9300, since 3/4 months I guess. Now it's getting really slow to the point where even when there's incoming calls I hear the ring tone but my screen gets stuck. I'm thinking of wiping data / factory reset from CWM recovery. Can I wipe data from the recovery without losing my root, my custom rom and boeffla kernel ? Plus, will this help?

And I wanted to ask one more thing, pardon me if I sound dumb but, is dn4 and blekota note 4 the one and same thing or are these 2 different?

I tried searching for this stuff but I was a bit skeptical and wanted a clear cut answer. The last thing I want is a bricked phone.

(I love blekota note 4 and I want to stick by it)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenreon:
A wipe data wipes the data partition, kernel has its own other partition and so as system aka the rom(root also resides there) so you'll lose nothing except your data..... And about the roms well you should search/read/ask on the thread/forum

[Asus ZenWatch] jonathan_epp:
Watch gets past the ASUS Boot Screens but gets stuck in the Android Boot animation.

I've tried booting into recovery (swipe top right to bottom left) but it doesn't work.

I can get into Fastboot and from there I've tried wiping the cache, unlocking, and relocking the bootloader. None of those options seem to do anything.

Background:

I've got two Android watches of my own (360 and LG G) and was actually just helping a friend upgrade the firmware on his ASUS ZenWatch since he's got an iphone.

1) I tethered to my phone and began the firmware download from stock, but it kept throwing an error about running out of memory, even after a factory reset.

2) I booted into Fastboot unlocked and wiped the cache. After this it successfully downloaded and upgraded to Android 5.0.

3) Went to download the next version (5.1 is needed for iPhone) and kept getting an error (this time different, couldn't get any matches doing Google searches). Tried a factory reset and it went into this mode where it makes it to the Android Wear boot animation and stays there until the battery dies.

I'm thinking the watch has some sort of hardware defect since he says he bought the watch new and it's failing on all firmware upgrades and won't boot into recovery.

Any suggestions? I'm not aware of any stock recovery images.
