[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [XRSIST]:
While this might not apply to all, being an android N00B I was stuck in this situation and had to find a solution.

To some, this might be common knowledge but I thought I'd do a write up anyhow just to document it.

SITUATION:

Power button no longer functions

Wiped everything in Recovery

Partitioned SD card <--- big mistake!!!

Exited out of recovery console to copy Rom to SD card

Can't select bootloader option as power button no longer worked.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE ATTEMPTING

REQUIREMENTS:

- Copy of your nandroid backup

- fastboot

- USB cable connected to computer

- Your semi bricked phone

GETTING TO BOOTLOADER:

To power on phone without power button

1. Plug in your USB cable

2. The charge light will flicker slowly

3. Take the battery out

4. Hold the battery in a position where a small movement will turn on and off the charge light

5. Move battery to the charge position

6. Hold down the trackball

7. Move battery to the off position

8. As soon as the charge light turns off, quickly move it back to the charge position

9. You should now be in fastboot mode

It takes some getting used to, but you can usually get it in 2-3 goes once you get the hang of it.

Also be careful that you don't damage your battery pins.

FILE TRANSFER:

Copy your nandroid backups (they have to be backups of working roms) to the directory where fastboot is.

The files should be:

boot.img

data.img

system.img

You won't need the nandroid.md5 file

FASTBOOT COMMANDS:

Now use fastboot via the command prompt to enter the following commands :

To erase -

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

To install -

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot reboot

FINISH:

It will take a while to boot so please be patient. Your phone should be back to working condition and now you can update to the latest ROM :D

and remember Trackball wake and Quick Boot are your best friends!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Use the unroot/restore guide from the wiki (passimg FRG33). To boot into the bootloader, you will have pull your battery, connect your phone to a charger, then hold volume down while inserting your battery...

[HD2 General] whealy:
My volume keeps getting set to silent. As a result, I get no notifications of anything going on with my phone.

A little background first:

This is my second HD2. I returned my first but decided I really liked this phone after all.

I do NOT have BsB tweaks installed. I think there is an option to kill ringer based on calendar with this app.

I installed PocketShield thinking it would lock the screen when placed in my pocket. The thought was that the volume rocker was getting hit before it locked if I forgot to manually lock the phone. Didn’t resolve my issue.

Last night I installed VolumeX. This allowed me to remap my volume rocker buttons. At least now I know it’s not the volume rocker getting bumped.

So this morning on my drive into work it happened again. I checked the phone before I left and it was in vibrate. When I got to work it was in silent. The only thing that happened on the drive was that it attached to my car Bluetooth. But I’ve had this happen on multiple occasions without the Bluetooth piece.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening or things to check would be appreciated.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You aren't hitting vibrate then setting the phone down immediately on it's face are you? I've found that setting it on it's face before it's locked launches things...
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
I do believe it's the bluetooth that'll be doing that. Connecting and disconnecting bluetooth headsets and car kits changes the sound profile - annoys me too, but I'm pretty sure it's standard for WinMosince my Omnia and Titan did the same thing IIRC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zha50:
Hi XDA,

I recently re-encountered a problem with my N1, not sure if any body else has, is where the phone doesn't detect your SIM suddenly, giving a "No SIM Card" error, when it was working fine moments agos, after sleeping and waking the phone when i wanted to use it later. Then further reboots only result directly in a no sim error.

Before it happened before reflashing the radio fixed it, but it has suddenly come back today and i've tried everything from 03 -> 06 radios, and CM5.0.6 -> .8 Test5 and still the issue is present, where it no longer detects my SIM.

My SIM works in other phones around the house, and all the other SIMs ive borrowed to test all come up as not detected.

I am in Australia so it would be a PAIN to RMA with HTC, tho i would be in the states for 2 weeks soon so maybe if it is eligible for warranty im not sure. :mad:

Has anyone encountered these problems and what were your solutions?

- How to View Videos in FullScreen Mode in Mediascape?
You would have noticed that it’s very hard to find a good video convertor that converts all the formats to the one thats applicable for Xperia X10 and also matches the screen resolution of it, 854×480. Which results in the videos not getting to full screen in the Mediascape, but Sony Ericsson solved this problem quite nicely.
Just Double tap the Video while it’s playing and it stretches to the full screen without affecting the pixel ratio.
The only pre-requisite to it is, that the video must be in the Ratio of 16:9 and not 4:3.

[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
I need some people to test out an app that previews boot animations on the device. It also can set the boot animation (requires root). This is a complete rewrite of the original version that is currently on the market. This version is using OpenGL to render the animations, which allows for the larger animations to actually work.

As I said, I just want to get an indication of what devices / android versions it is working on, and which ones its not. I still have a bit to do with the OpenGL, as the frames are rendering inverted, but this is just an alpha test :)

Note: If you are going to test it out, you must have the AndExplorer app installed on your device as well.

If you test it out, please post your device, and if you were able to see the boot animation.

I have attached 3 boot animations, if you do not have any to test with.

Thank you for taking the time test.
[Android Apps and Games] tristman169:
question

okay i am running android 2.2 froyo and tested the app out i was able to see the star wars logo one but it didnt take up all of the screen and it was in the bottom left hand corner and was fairly small but i was not able to load the matrix or the other one it just sat there on the white screen and said loading so it seems like some may work and others don't but its a wonderful app if its able to test all boot animations it will save me loads of time cause then i can just preview them instead of having to install them to see what the look like
[Android Apps and Games] tristman169:
okay so like i said earlier i have the moto droid running android 2.2 and the matrix boot animation didnt load in it but i also tried some of the added functions in the app such as setting a boot animation from your sd card to be your default boot animation and that didnt work but if you were able to get this app to were you could preview boot animations and then set them to play when your phone boots up i would give you a big kiss lol but i love the idea
[Android Apps and Games] slimsheivy:
i have the samsung moment and when i tried it, the animation showe up on the bottom half of the screen for like 2-3 seconds then went blank.
[Android Apps and Games] Solovey83:
On Samsung Galaxy Spica 2.1 same problem, animation is displayed normally, but only in the lower left corner.:cool:

My hd2 for tmobile beats the evo everytime in speed test in when loading the same web page what happen to 10 times faster on 4g waste of 10 bucks
[EVO 4G General] Akulamenuri:
Are you using Opera on the HD2? Opera compresses pages off-site so that would make quite a difference if your comparing that to the stock android browser. Use Internet Explorer for your speedtest instead if you already aren't.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Buddy if you seriously think the HD2 is better then the Evo then I really do feel sorry for you.
[EVO 4G General] Ikyo:
If it is really that bad, why don't you sell your evo to me :)

Dude, you cannot be serious. The HD2 SUCKS. There is no comparison.

I really disagree with you. How dare you comparing the EVO with the HD2!!

[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
get opera on both, browing with opera mini on my htc touch is much faster than even stock browers on 3gs. Operamini rocks. Could be tmobile faster data where you live. the $10 add in does suck though.
[EVO 4G General] redzee:
This is all I have for you sir
[EVO 4G General] mr.bill:
SYKE!!!

I own both and they are both awesome phones!!!! I am an android fan boy if you will, and don’t care for winmo much, but I have loved every minute of my HD2 and it has more going on for it at this moment than the Evo does and that’s the truth.

To say the HD2 sucks is an incredible opinion since if you have the Evo you basically have the android twin to the HD2. The HD2 will be more capable of running WINDOWS Phone 7 and Froyo than the Evo will and it can still run its base rom.

I agree that 4g isn't all its cracked up to be, but to judge the entire device off of that is ridiculous. My Evo is an awesome device and I love it, I have waited quite sometime for this phone.

All your issues today will be fixed on this device tomorrow, thanks to XDA-DEVELOPERS….

Don’t start up a new chat room to tell us that our phone sucks because you don’t know how to use it…..
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
Just nitpicking here, but your opinion that the HD2 has 'more going on for it than the Evo' is not the truth. It's just an opinion. The HD2 will NEVER run Froyo as well as any dedicated Android device. The people who work on the Windows Mobile port of Android have been working for years on doing this, but it's still impossible to use Android on my Touch Pro as a standard operating system. All Android devices are built in order to support the operating system, so you can't just copy it over onto a device that was never meant to run it and expect it to outperform the rest.
[EVO 4G General] Antagonistt:
I also own both the HD2 on Tmobile and the Evo (sprint of course). I happen to be in a 4G area and live several hundred yards from one tower to my south and about a mile from another tower to my east. That puts me in a very strong 4G area. I also use clear wimax for my home internet and due to my location I get maximum signal.

Like the original poster, I was bored one day and decided to run LOTS of speed tests between the evo and the HD2 (and before it's even suggested, I LOVE android...but have experience with winmo as well, check out my sig). Anyway, it was a close battle when the Evo was in 4G mode and an all out slaughter when it wasn't. I don't mean the phones themselves, I still prefer android over winmo...I'm simply talking data speeds.

The HD2 had very consistent speeds no matter what. I also had several errands to run that day so I tested in many different areas. Some with 4G, some without. Some with great 3G signals, some with marginal strength. No matter what, the HD2 had the same speeds (which were EXTREMELY close to the Evo's 4G and in many cases better). When the Evo was in 3G only areas, my speeds were very low, and even when in 4G areas the speed was all over the place from horrible to incredible. Kind of a luck of the draw situation.

I hope and believe the that Evo's problem is firmware related and can be fixed. So...am I jumping ship and giving up my HD2? No way. Am I returning my Evo due to wildly varying data rates? Nope...that dookie don't float either (old Xbox reference).

These are both great phones that excel in slightly different ways. I love them both and wouldn't trade either. It's the best of both worlds, not to mention an excellent test bed of the current flagship phones of their respective carriers. Cut the poster some slack, it's just his opinion, and just like an a$$hole, everyone has one.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Those are fighting words. At least you came to the right place.

One more thing is it the 4G your putting down or the phone because it sounds kinda like the phone not the 4G... Your title says evo 4G suks when I guess what your really saying is the EVO sucks so: Those are fighting words
[EVO 4G General] xcom923:
I figured I'd mention something T-Mobile's HSDPA+ network is just as fast as WiMax. WiMax is in fact the slowest 4g technology there is. So I'm not really surprised that the HD2 beat the Evo in a speed test BUT to say that the HD2 is a better phone because of it just makes you seem very ignorant.

I also would like to point out that the 10 fee is NOT for the 4G it is to remove the data cap on a line. Sprint has officially said that they will throttle anyone using more than the 5GB cap. Evo and I'm sure most other data intensive phones for now on will have this extra charge to remove the cap.
[EVO 4G General] Rennat:
This is one of the most saddest threads I have ever seen.
[EVO 4G General] gbm85:
Just wanted to clear up that the current WiMAX revision is 40Mb. T-Mobile's HSPA+ is 21Mb. Regardless, T-Mo was late to the 3G bandwagon and it will be 2015 at the earliest before they push 4G. Remember, even with their problems, Sprint is still larger than T-Mobile. So if Sprint can't even build out 4G on their own (hence partnering with Clearwire), there's no reason to think a smaller company, with similar prices and fewer subscribers, that recently spent and is still spending tons of money on old 3G technology, would be able to do it any time soon.

Throttling is coming this summer as an optional feature for business accounts. If you have a link to that official statement, I'm sure plenty of people are just dying to see it.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Moderators are soooo kind in this forum =]

I cant believe that this thread hasn't been locked already by the moderators :p

The name of the thread alone lets you know the OP is trolling to get pissed off responses to laugh at :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
T-Mobile USA has less subscribers than Sprint overall because they bought Nextel, but make no mistake that T-Mobile USA is just a subsidiary of a much larger company. T-Mobile is said to start LTE in 2012.

Regardless of the theoretical max of both WiMAX/HSPA+ revisions, in the real world Sprint WiMAX is at just about the same as HSPA from T-Mobile, and they're just getting started at the moment. Regardless of how "old" HSPA may be, it still has revisions that support maxes of above 80Mbps. EV-DO has no plans to grow anywhere near that and that's why Sprint/Verizon need to migrate to 4G and soon.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Kind of have mixed feelings about the future of T-mobile. Right now they are the best of the "Big 4" based on customer service, and pricing options. But over time when they get bigger and bigger I fear, just like Verizon and Att, that they will start being cocky, overpriced a**holes.

Here's hoping T-mobile always stays as great as it currently is :)

(only other carrier I would ever consider of the big 4 is Sprint. I will never go with Att/Verizon again due to their cockiness and not giving their customers the pricing options they deserve.)
