Trying a couple of other things that aren't working either:

mount -t fat32 /dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard
mount: No such device

I tried to force it:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

This made my computer recognize the SD card as an unformatted 32MB disk, which is obviously wrong.

So: should I get a new SD card or something? O_o

Not going to help as the SD card isn't being recognized no matter what I do. Can't do anything with it.

I've read some of the other posts about RSS reader recommendations but none seemed to fit what I was after so thought I'd post myself. Apologies if this was covered elsewhere and I missed it.

HTC Touch HD/Blackstone

Windows Mobile 6.1

I've looking for an RSS reader for the above that will sync with Google Reader.

Delicious/Twitter integration would be a bonus, as would a scheduled auto-update feature.

I'm currently using pRSSreader which I find very good and it is a shame it is no longer maintained by the developer. :( The main and really only downside of it is that if you flag an article, it doesn't seem to flag a star within Google Reader.

pRSSreader reader does really have everything in it that I want but wondered if anyone knew of any newer/current apps that did the same thing, but also maybe more.

Any suggestions worth checking out?

Always appreciated.

Thanks,

Oli
[General Questions and Answers] Cassetti:
Good luck, i have yet to know of one alternative rss reader that can sync with google reader.

Worse yet is that i can't even get my dang prssreader to work for the past month! I get invalid feed errors. I even installed a new cooked rom (energy) and then tried to sync subscriptions to no avail!

I can't even import my opml file and sync that way - i get an invalid feed error!

Hi Guys

Just found this site and some really helpful stuff here.

Reason I was searching is my HTC Legends touch screen got cracked a few days back and I've been searching for a guide on how to replace it, can anyone help????

The LCD seems fine behind, and the digitizer even still works, just a bit shattered...

Absolutley love the phone, but can't use it at the minute:(

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
Mine just started to after lunch today. I've had it on the desk and saw it restart about 3 times in less than a 15 minute window.

How do I know this just started and it hasn't been going on in my pocket? Well over the weekend I would have heard it reset (since it's not on silent/vibrate like it is at work). It also significantly drains the battery more if you are constantly soft resetting it/turning it off and on.

So is anyone else having this issue? I need to figure out if it was just a freak occurrence or if something is wrong with it.

I did NOT root it, running everything stock - I did some updates on some apps I have installed but no new programs installed in a couple of days - again this just started happening today in the last couple of hours.

And besides email and messaging, I'm not running anything in the background like Pandora or eBuddy, so I don't think it's a program causing it to reset.

Edit:

Not sure if this is the best category for the thread, but I could not find any threads similar to this besides the battery issue in general. Apologies if this thread already exists somewhere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jye75:
No uncalled for restarts here. Open the back, pull the battery, check the contacts? Is it plugged in when it does this? Try padding the battery with a folded piece of paper between the door and battery to ensure a snug fit. If it still does that, time to go to a store.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
@Jye75

Thanks, I have pulled out and looked at the battery. I have that Seido case they were slangin' at Best Buy on it, I don't think there's an issue with the contacts.

One weird thing is during one of the automatic restarts, the phone made the start up sound. I had the phone on vibrate and the start up before that (and after when I manually restarted it) did not have a tone. Very odd... perhaps it's possessed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jye75:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakejohnson86:
Probably just a kernel panic. I would not worry about it too much. It's happened to me on my Hero, and on my Evo.

For comparison purposes, how often does OS X Kernel Panic? How often does Windows BSOD?

Android is rather new technology in comparison. Yes, it runs Linux, which is rather mature at this point, but it's built with a lot of new technology, which may not be as mature as the stock kernel itself.

/two cents.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
Thanks, I realized that was one of the few things I've changed at the end of the weekend. Sweet!

It reset about 8-10 times in less than 2 hours. More than half of that time the phone was in my pocket and not in use. I hardly got a signal inside of Walmart so it's not like I was using it that much in there.

I have set the data to be always on and hopefully this will help...

I appreciate all the help guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosowns:
I had the same exact thing happen to me beginning this past weekend. It was driving me insane since it was rebooting every 30 minutes or so. I noticed it started happening more so when I did not have good signal. In any case I came to the conclusion it was all the tinkering (root part 1 and custom ROM) I've done with the phone so I wiped it last night and started from scratch (root part 1 and 2 and custom ROM). No reboots yet, but seeing your post concerns me since it's not the first post I've read regarding this issue. I'll keep you posted if mine keeps doing it. I really hope it's not a real issue, getting a replacement does not seem like it will be an easy process at the moment with them constantly selling out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
Thanks for the input. Your concern about the difficulty in getting a replaced unit due to them selling out is EXACTLY why I'm trying to figure out if this is a software glitch.

I'm also glad you pointed out that it tended to happen when the signal was ****ty. Last night I enabled the data always on (it was on by default and I turned it off earlier in the weekend) and I haven't had a reset yet this morning. Of course I've also been in good coverage areas. When it kept resetting like mad last night it was inside of Wal-Mart, and they have some serious shielding on their building or something since I rarely get a full or even half signal in there regardless of carrier or phone in past experience. A lot of friends on Altell/Verizon beg to differ with me though.

I'm thinking if they're connected, the fact that a weak data signal contributes to the device rebooting is really odd; the only time I can think of why a phone should reboot on its own is the OS crashes (or some app takes up ALL the available RAM, freezing it, then crashing it) or it overheats (but would seem to turn off rather than reboot). I had a BB Curve that did this at one point so I had to clear the cache all the time.

Edit:

Actually, I realized when it started to happen it was at work where I have excellent reception. Hmmm... well at least it hasn't reset on its own this morning so far (so far meaning 30 minutes).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosowns:
Well for what it's worth, mine was also doing it in good signal areas as well. It just seemed a lot more pronounced when I was getting bad signal. Anywho I reread your original post that you are running stock software so let's see if it keeps occuring for both of us regardless of the differences in software we are running. I also still have "Enable data always on" off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
Sounds like a plan. Still no problems so far with data always on.

FWIW I also did the battery trick by switching the phone to CDMA auto from GSM auto. Supposedly you have to do it everytime you boot your phone, and it's supposed to help with battery life. Thread here:

It has to have something to do with turning off always on mobile data. It goes away when it's on, but then comes back when you turn it off. I just did rooted and unlocked nand protection on my phone last night and turned off always on mobile data and haven't had any reboots yet. Then again, it took a little while for it to start resetting last time so we'll see I guess. Could just be some glitch in the software that putting a new rom on has fixed...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] widjit:
Mine had been the complete opposite, I have had data off, and when I turned it on yesterday it started reseting, I turned data back off last night and have had no more problems...

I had this happen to me while I was trying to talk on the phone and use google navigation at the same time while running the Overclocking widget to throttle my cpu to 285mhz when the screen was off. Whenever I turned off the screen my phone would reboot.

My guess is that there some issue there where the cpu cant keep up with the heavy usage, locks up and forces a reboot...

I've since gotten rid of the OC widget, rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. I've not had it happen since, of course I havent tried talking and using google nav yet.

I've also noticed that advanced task killer caused the htc sense launcher to reboot (force killed) every once in a while... I've gotten rid of that too...

Wow dude I'm sorry to hear you're having that much trouble. I'm on step 2 of part 2 of Toast's root method but running into major issues. Since I did step 1 (and before that I enabled data always on again) I haven't had a reset issue.

For the record, my Hardware version 2.

Do you guys think this is a widespread or isolated issue? I'm surprised it hasn't happened more or less, in other words I figured there would be either a lot or hardly any comments about it. This medium sized number is interesting.

Mine has been doing this since about day 4. I haven't done anything major to it. UnRevoked root to change something and I haven't messed with it since. but still it restarts at seemingly unrelated times. some times it will restart in my pocket... some times while i'm browsing. a few times while I sleep but then I noticed something interesting. In the settings menu > about phone > battery it shows your up time.... even with this constant restarting it still displays my uptime as being several days. I wonder if its ACTUALLY rebooting the system when it does this or just recovering from a kernal panic (or the android equivalent there of) Has anyone else checked out the up time to confirm?

Any who. I know 4 EVO users at work...3 of which are experiencing this issue, I am the only of the 3 who have even attempted any type of rooting so I don't think its related nor do I think this is an isolated incident. If I or anyone else in here stumbles on to an update please share with the class...its my only issue with an otherwise amazing device.

Just noticed it this morning. Sux. I took it to sprint repair and they said they'd give me a new hero. I think she said, shes pretty sure they come with 1.5 on them but wasnt 100 percent sure. I'm not ready to give up my phone cuz its rooted running DC 2.0.8 and I'm happy with it.

Official 2.1 isn't even rootable yet right? So if I get another hero, it has to be with 1.5 on it correct?

I was mentioning this to her, and she was curious why I wanted 1.5. I told her I did things with my phone, but didn't wanna go into detail about how I ROOT it. Not sure if they care or should know that I'm rooting the phone. Cuz I'm guessing it would void the warranty right? So I didn't tell her my reasoning for wanting 1.5...
[Hero CDMA General] wadeheisen:
2.1 official has been rooted, but to the best of my knowledge the post-release .6 OTA update has not been worked around.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
yes, it is rooted also. basically you use the .5 ruu then root that.
[Hero CDMA General] chugger93:
ya but how would I know if the new phone had .5 or .6, it would show that in the about screen? So I'd have to look at the phone before they officially gave it to me?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Both of them can be rooted. If you get a .6 phone, just run the .5 RUU as stated above then root.
[Hero CDMA General] prios914:
It shouldn't matter which version of 2.1 it has Chugger. Regaw has posted step by step instructions on how to root a Hero with stock 2.1 and if your new one comes with version .6, Regaw has a link to download the RUU (version .5) and you can run that then follow his instructions to root it.

WinMo 6.1 was almost unusable. I switched to a Tael ROM to run 6.5, which was immensely better, especially using Spb Shell 3.5.

How does Android 2.1 compare? I know its a work in progress. I know its better than WinMo 6.1.. but how does it compare to WinMo 6.5 on the Fuze?

Also, I see mostly Android CDMA work being done for Raphael--anyone actively working on the Fuze (GSM) version?

thanks,

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Actually, most of the work is being done by devs with GSM devices. You probably see more CDMA posts because we have more issues :P Or we're just special ed, either way.

I love Android, but currently it's not a replacement for WinMo - for me. The main reason being the battery life. While the devs have done great work, the battery is just not up to par - I need to run a full day on idle at least before I can switch over to it.

Is there any reason you haven't given it a shot yourself? You don't flash it to NAND, the entire OS just sits on your SD card - literally nil chance of breaking something hardware-wise with the device!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hrothnir:
guess it's worth trying

I just need to find the steps and the latest usable build..

Battery life is that great on WinMo 6.5 either.

Often I find apps that I thought I closed are still active. Now I always check whats running before I put it on standby.(hmm wonder if there is an app to autoclose everything and standby the phone..)

BTW, I found when using the GPS in remote areas putting the phone in Flight Mode works wonders for battery life. GPS stays on, but Bluetooth, phone service, WiFi, are all off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you're in an area with poor or no service, turning off the radio will certainly increase performance - one of the main killers of the battery is the phone's radio. If it's constantly searching for a signal or using a lot of power to keep one... you get the point.

Battery life in Android is not on-par with WinMo. At least not for CDMA devices, some on GSM report 10-12hrs of battery life.
