[Touch2 General] cellardoor_ncx:
Hi. I've got t-mobile branded HTC Touch2. I got through HardSPL FAQ, made backup and started to flash my phone. The main problem was the language (formely german) which I'm still trying to change to English or more preferably - Polish. When I eventually managed to do HardSPL (which involved playing with OEM_FLASHDRV.dll), I downloaded ROM_Mega_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-28-479-4 from sunnysoft site and succesfully flashed it. I ignored the warning about limitation to PN: 99HJZ022-00 because I've earlier read people successfully flashed that rom on many different PN's. Mine is actually P/N : 99HJZ057-00.

When I installed language localization patch I ended up looping at "Windows" logo - the progress bar goes to 100% and starts back from 0%. I've tried to hard reset many times, tried with booting it up on and on with no result. One time it popped up with and error box saying the software I installed did not match the rom I have. Weird since it came from sunnysoft site. I've tried downloading it again to exclude a CRC error and flashing itself goes perfectly well.

I'm using English for now, but I'd be nice to have polish xT9.

What goes wrong ? Does sunnysoft patch really work only on this specific P/N ? Is it worth the hassle or am I stuck with branded t-mobile ? This is my first PDA but I also have an option to get some HTC with android. Any solutions?

I installed unrevoked root. I thought root goes away on reboot, but im guessing unrevoked devs updated it and prevented root from going away on reboot. I uninstalled unrevoked (the app itself) and i thought that was the way to get rid of the root, but superusepermissions is still there.

how do i get rid of unrevoked root!? i thought it was temporary!

i used it just to use overclockwidget, which btw didnt get my phone improving on battery life :(

It doesn't have root the superuser app needs to be uninstalled as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohandhruva:
Hi,

I am using Nexus One in India, and my service provider is MTNL Mumbai. Their network is 3G enabled. I have 3G activated by the service provider too. I have put the settings for my APN, using the settings available here -- dolphin.mumbai.mtnl.net.in/cominfo/docs/general.doc (Sorry, I am not able to post links)

However, try as I might, I have only the "E" icon displayed in the status bar displayed, no 3G. The EDGE network works properly, I am able to surf, but of course, it is horribly slow.

Things I have tried:

- Settings, Mobile networks, uncheck "Use 2G networks only"

- Go to test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and set the phone mode to "WCDMA only"

- Searched google for people having the same problem

When I set the network mode to "WCDMA only", for some time it shows no network, and then again drops back to "WCDMA Preferred", and shows the "E" icon. My N-1 was bought from Singapore, it original had the EPF21B build on it. Hence, I am assuming that my radio is hardware compatible with my service provider..? MTNL uses European 3G frequencies. Also, the problem is the service itself, since I am able to activate and use 3G properly in my Nokia E51.

Currently, I am running the FRF50 Froyo build - I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my N1. However, the same problem used to occur on the stock EPF21B build, even when the phone was "virgin".

I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If I see correctly, your provider works with 2100 MHz - which would make it compatible with both Nexus versions, so the problem most likely isn't there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohandhruva:
Yes, MTNL Mumbai uses 2100 MHz. Any other ideas or suggestions, please? :)

I unrevoked my EVO and am now gonna root with damagecontrol. Do I have to remove unrevoked first then root with damagecontrol? Or can I root over unrevoked. I never rooted so Im backing up all data and giving it a go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djteotancolis:
a good place for this will be the evo forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
DamageControl is a ROM, not a root method. You need to root with Toast's method to install custom ROMs.

Read through the links provided here (click) to find root, custom ROMs, etc.

you do not need to uninstall the unrevoked app to root your phone, i rooted right over it. since unrevoked is a joke anyways lol.

it's handy for some people, say those who are returning their phone soon and don't want to deal with un-rooting it when they have to, or those who are too scared to actually root.

Would it be possible for me to copy the entire contents of my 8gb and paste on folder on pc, then put in new 16bb card and paste the lot back onto the new one, would everything work ok? as i have most if not all my apps instlled on my storage card, has anyone done this b4 and is it possible?

Thanks
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I've wondered that myself, as long as the new card is properly formated then in theory it should be fine..... never actually done it though so don't take my word for it.
[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:
Maybe someone can clear this up, by format properly what do you mean by this?
[HD2 General] jkolner:
I have done that twice without any problems. Just rember to show all files in the explorere on the PC.
[HD2 General] antilagman:
I have previously done it twice with no problems but i just swapped my 16gb to a 32gb and it wouldnt have none of it????? I have had to return the card thinking its faulty? But i will do the exact thing once i receive my replacement :D
[HD2 General] andyk159:
I got a Sandisk 16Gb card and though it was faulty as HD2 wouldn't read it. Examining it on PC showed it was formated as 'exFAT'. Reformatted to 'FAT' and copied data across and now all OK.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
i've done this on every winmo phone i have had where a sd card upgrade was required. Just make sure you have the phone off while to do it and use a card reader just to be safe
[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:
dont have a card reader, know how to format to fat on pc via disc drive mode, will just copying all to pc, and ensuring all files are showing and not hidden then would this be ok?
[HD2 General] antilagman:
the 32gb came formatted in fat32? I have been told that my replacement will be here tomorrow
[HD2 General] M3PH:
yeah if you format the card to fat your gonna damage the card. stick to fat32 and use a 32KB allocation unit size. you do it be finding the drive in my computer, right clicking and hitting format. Setup your options and go.

Card readers are best for this type of work and you can pick one up less than £10 from amazon.co.uk. Just make sure it says it supports SDHC cards.

So far today, my Evo has reset itself about 4 times. That is within the past hour and a half. I've had it since Monday and had no other issues with it doing this until today. The only app that was added in the past 24hrs was the Wireless Tether for Root app. I don't know what or why this is happening. I've just uninstalled Unrevoked, Superuser Permissions, the Overclock Widget, and the Wireless Tether to see if that is causing the issues. Anyone else have anything similar to this happening?

Also, I changed the "always on mobile data" setting to off yesterday. That increased my battery life dramatically. I was able to leave the phone on for a solid 11hrs with it still having 60% charge left. Then today, before I changed any settings at all, unplugging the phone from the charger for about 2hrs has resulted me in being down to 45% battery. Could mobile data always on being off cause the rebooting issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
Same thing was happening to me when I unchecked that. Checked it back and all rebooting issues went away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heed316:
Since I posted that message I had two more reboots. Just ticked always on mobile data back on and am waiting to see if that stops it...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinjiVitis:
I've had the always on data feature turned off since day one to conserve battery life and i had not experienced the random shut offs until yesterday. Since yesterday however my phone has restarted itself no less than 20 times. Several times while I was sleeping so this is defiantly a real problem but I dont think its related to settings. ill be contacting HTC tonight

Random restarts are often indicative of the battery not sitting in properly.

Remove the battery. Scratch up the contacts. Insert back firmly...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIU_Huskies:
I am also having this same issue. I turned my phone off this morning because i wouldn't be using it and then i turned it back on in the afternoon and then my phone just started randomly restarting itself. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It has just been happening all by itself. It has probably happened 10 times in the last 4.5 hours.

I took the battery out for a minute and put it back in to see if it will stop the issue, but i'll have to wait and see. However, when i did turn the phone back on i got a weird pop-up message on the main screen that said something to the effect of, "Operational failure, please use su command." Then it faded away. Anyone know what that means?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
As mentioned above, turning always-on mobile back on, took care of my restart issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalex7777:
I'm getting the same issue. At first i thought it was ATK, so i uninstalled that. Then I though it was lookout, so I disabled that. But it still keeps happening. I have mobile data off too, but for days, and it hasn't affected it one way or the other.

The odd thing is, I was running xiiLive Lite last night streaming the radio all night, and my phone stayed up the whole time, while plugged in (at least 8 hours).

I don't know what the deal is, but my phone goes about 24-48 hours without a spontaneous reboot, and then it will start doing it 4-6 times a day. Anyone have a good logging tool would be nice, as I'm somewhat new to Android.

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
I had mobile data off for a few days with no reset issues. Then I installed a few apps from the market (not the ones you mentioned) and then the resets started. I uninstalled the newest apps but the resets kept happening. Then I turned mobile data back on and no more resets in the last 24 hours.

my evo is randomly rebooting and I never modified the settings that some of you are talking about. My also gives me random issues where when i try to open an app it will open for a split second and close? I am also having my phone lock up on me several times a day and i have to pull the battery to reboot it! I took it back to the sprint store and they insisted on reloading the software on the phone and it made no difference.... does anyone have any suggestions or similar issues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinChase:
I also have a fully stock phone, some apps installed, but none recently, and yesterday it rebooted itself, twice more today.

I haven't changed the settings mentioned earlier, and haven't done anything I can think of that would cause the rebooting.

I am also having issues where I can't get an IP address on my wireless network, but I'm not sure it's related. I just noticed these 2 problems in the last 2 days, and it's the only thing I can think of that's out of the ordinary from the weeks prior to this happening.

I think I'll take it to Sprint tomorrow and see what they have to say.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reeves360:
Angry Apps Eating my RAM!

I think what everyone is missing here that maybe the root of the problem is low memory.

I'm not talking about storage on the SD card. I"m talking about the memory the OS has to run.

I've fought long and hard with this low memory problem seeing as I have owned a g1 for almost 2 years.

THERE IS NO REASON THE EVO SHOULD EVER GET DOWN TO UNDER 30MB OF SYSTEM RAM!

I equate this issue to the same issue many people had with Windows computers and applications that start up in the system tray! We don't need most apps to run in the back ground on start up just in case I want to use it. The few seconds of time it shaves off of starting up the app is not worth the slower OS boot up (applies to Windows mainly) or the major slow downs they cause the OS's to have.

I don't need Sprint TV running on boot!

When I used a clean slate scene I still have all of these same issues. Random reboots, slow OS and apps, ect.

I have no idea why Android would allow that much RAM to be used for background apps. I don't understand why we have no way to see what programs run on boot unless using a 3rd party app.

Most apps are so crappy that they run in the background all the time and have no way to toggle if they run on boot and I'm not talking about apps that modify something all the time I"m talking about apps that ONLY need to be running once you open them. An example would be Swipe, I understand the need for that app to run on boot. It modifies the OS keyboard and would need to be running in order to work correctly when ever you enter any text field that pops up the keyboard for input.

An example of programs that don't need to be running on boot or should at least give you an option to toggle boot start up are; Sprint Navigation, Sprint Updater (No idea what this is for), Updater (Android?), Sprint Zone, doubletwist, SprintTV Widget (I'm on the clean slate profile with NO Widgets), VoiceMail (I use Google Voice, is this needed?), Sprint Football Live (It's not even Football season!), MP3 Store (I have yet to use on the EVO but is running just in case, thx), as well as many others.

I have 35 apps running in the back ground! WTF? Thanks ****ty app devs and bloatware Sprint!

Have fun try to find options for each app and figuring out each service to know what it's tied to so that you can have a phone that it powerful and run smoothly.

It really shouldn't be this hard or as much of a pain...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
This is where I am so lost with Android. I read many blogs saying Android does not need a task killer and using one will only make your system slow down. Well I tried one anyway because it's in my Windows Mobile nature to do so (old habits....). I noticed that I too had 35 or so apps running in the background and I thought that doesn't sound good, I wanna kill them all. But then what Android pros keep telling me is to let them be and that the OS will kill them as needed. But from what you're saying, it sounds like the OS doesn't always do a good enough job. So my confusion and learning process of Android continues......

Just a little FYI....My EVO is not rooted nor have I changed any factory settings on my EVO. My EVO had not been used for any purpose for a matter of at least two hours while at work the other day. It automatically rebooted itself. After which all calls went straight to voicemail. I contacted Sprint and notified tech support of the issue. Tech support stated that I should update my profile so it would fix the voicemail issue.(not sure about that) I was also told they had never heard of the phone rebooting itself and it must be defective to return it to Best Buy. I without tech supports permission of course changed my slot cycle index, no more calls to voicemail. And after turning my phone off and back on that day of original rebooting it has not occured again. But call HTC because SPRINT doesn't know what to do...
