[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dereknet:
I experienced a series of reboots on my phone this weekend while driving and using the phone via a bluetooth headset. Simultaneously I was attempting to use Google navigation. I typically could connect to my caller and then would reboot within 10 seconds or so. This happened three times before I was able to figure out that the GPS connection was a culprit and temporally disabled GPS while using the phone.

Lamest part and this isn't the first time this has occurred! On the original firmware shipped from HTC I had a few identical crashes that I have only now realized were because of this combination of GPS+bluetooth.

Right now I'm running a simple OTA update + root using toast's method.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrh2:
Same gps+music problem for me. Heat wasn't a problem, as I was blowing ice cold air right on the phone from 2 vents at max speed.

Nothing major with BT phone call + gps. A small bug where it was required to press the power button on the phone to initiate the call.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midri:
Very interesting, Last.FM + GPS Test shows that it does not find any satellites in view, so there does some how interfere with the gps antenna (app does not complain about lack of gps, however; so it's not strait up disabling it.)

Edit: It does seem like if you start looking for GPS sats before music is playing it runs fine, for about 45 seconds then it loses all of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude64:
I've had slightly different problem, involving the music play back only. Using a 3.5 mm jack to play music on a Honda Accord EX, I've noticed that Voice Commands keeps popping up for no reason when I hook up the device to the 3.5 mm, however it stops doing so after a little while.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unreasnbl:
I have had this issue since day one. I have a thread about it on the Sprint board, but nobody but me has posted in it.

It has nothing to do with heat, as the problem is immediate, as soon as you turn on the EVO.

I don't think it's an interference issue, but a power draw issue.

I am aware of a similar issue with many Dell laptops. They throttle the CPU down based on power draw. Dell did this because they supplied too little wattage power supplies with certain systems. Even if you use a higher wattage power supply, Dell has coded the BIOS to throttle as if you have the smallest one, even thought the BIOS knows what power supply is connected. Basically, they crippled very fast systems to save money.

Similarly, I think the EVO is turning the GPS on and off to limit overall power consumption.

Is there an app that can monitor, display and record power consumption (not just what is using the CPU, but actual wattage)?

With the Dell problem, you can overwrite the BIOS register that tells it to throttle back, but sending a new value several times a second.

I suspect something like that might not be possible on a stock EVO, but should be workable for rooted systems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmike:
Just discovered this problem

so GPS + Music playing through speaker = no more GPS?

Sucks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazydev:
The Evo does not turn off the GPS. I described my test in detail on page 2. In short, run GPS status which shows how many GPS satellites the Evo is tracking. As you turn up the volume of the playing music, the number of satellites goes down. As you turn down the volume, the number of satellites goes up. You can see a gradual change, so not a simply a binary switch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouL Shadow:
Haven't tested this yet, however from all descriptions it seems like a hardware flaw. Since it seems to only appear with sustained use of the external speaker (music as opposed to short sound byte) in combination with gps. I would guess it's not the power supply but rather the way power is wired to those two components. Perhaps, either by accident or by design, they share the same circut and as more power is supplied to the speaker, less is supplied to gps? Maybe someone who has a better working knowledge of the hardware can open it up and investigate... engadget?

Also, it would be important to note on which hardware version this occurs. There could be differences in the design or layout of the circut boards.

As far as a fix, the only things I can think of would be redesign/replacement of the hardware, OR code the gps or speaker driver to reduce the volume (reducing power usage) while gps is actively being used.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
Yes, it is a hardware flaw, the magnet on the speaker disrupts the GPS radio, thank god it only disrupts the GPS radio though..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefirefli:
When I first got my phone I remember being able to use gps and the external speaker. In fact I could use the phone and gps too. The gps would interrupt the conversation and give directions. Now I can no longer do that with out the gps looking signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefirefli:
I've started to notice that the gps signal doesn't always cut out immediately. The signal on gps test is still there and slowly fades, but on Google maps it will freeze until it finally loses its signal.

[EVO 4G General] spankmaster:
ive been following techknowfiles thread for installing an old verizon/altell prl to gain access to verizon 3g service which as it would seem inherently give you verizon voice coverage. here's my issue. my sprint voice service kinda sucks around here, but the data coverage is great. I tried those prl's and i get AMAZING voice coverage but data speed are unbearable (im talking 90 to 50 kbps speed tests and worse) and a ping of a straight up full second. Is there any way to force voice roaming (since we have unlimited) but still utilized sprint data? Im assuming this is either incredibly involved or impossible seeing as you'd probably have to have some kind of modified prl ( which im not even sure anyone can do). so am i just dreaming or is this possible?

can you please point in the right direction to start rooting my phone ?

also, i have one other question. my current phone plan (sim card) does not have a data plan.

does it require a data plan or a sim card (with data plan) to root my phone?

thanks.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page

and

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking

are good places to start

take the time to read, even if you dont really know what it means at first

then zone in on the "rooting" instructions on the cyanogen link

pretty easy, once you check it out for awhile and actually take the time to read this stuff first

no you can do it if you have wifi...the only thing you'll need the wifi for is to sign in to google when you're first booting up the phone after rooting and flashing your ROM that you choose to use
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] touchmymobile:
is that the same as, regularly reformatting my phone, tapping the android mini guy, sign into google account and signing in? because when i first got my phone, i did that, and it locked me out, due to the fact that it had no internet connection via no data plan .

or will i be able to get the option of connecting to wi-fi, when i first boot up my phone?

thanks for the help and response. most appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tnpapadakos:
skip it and choose sign in later

turn on wifi

then when you go into settings, add account under accounts&sync, and it will take you to that sign in setup again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] touchmymobile:
how do i skip it or bypass that screen? i didnt see an option to do so.

i do not see in my settings anywhere : " Accounts & Sync "

[Droid Incredible Android Development] blue45:
Alright I have been reading and trying to root this device for days with no avail, now let me tell you what i did. Before I turned off the phone, you have to literally turn off every wireless connection anything that you connected to at all. Dont turn on air plane mode, just turn off every connection you can. Then What I did was click in the sd card after doing the adb reboot recovery. This worked like a charm. I also edited the drivers of the usb driver file called winusb.inf located at c:\sdk\usb_driver

if you dont have that folder that means you have not installed the usb driver which you can do by opening setup.exe clicking on usb drivers install.

you have to edit the file by including the lines under google nt 86 at end of section

;HTC Incredible

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01

%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C94

also then put the exact same lines under [Google.NTamd64] at end of section.

Next your going to want to save the file. Then go under device manager, update the drivers that you already have with that file located at c:\sdk\usb_drivers.

Restart if it says you have to.

Then next step use the windows application

hxxp://incredible.groove2.net/IncredibleRooter.zip

mdawg made This. extract put file in location under "c:\sdk\tools".

Then boot into recovery mode.

run loop.bat and begin clicking in and out of the sd card until it changes the error from device not found to that great error. then exit out of loop.bat with ctrl+c. and finish with the application by pushing files and updating zip. This is the hardest card to do. But it worked very first time after i tried updating drivers! I got wireless Tether working and sending this from there .

I used windows xp sp3

This method will work with any windows machine.

New!!! Load USB drivers from http://tether.com/a/setup.exe

Make sure you update your drivers in Device Manager and restart if needed. These are same drivers I used first time, I just forgot that I downloaded tether before hand.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] blue45:
This will help you get the phone into recovery status

Please read and try directions instead of thumbing your nose at me. I have put a lot of time into this and im trying to help. I would like to know if my instructions have helped people so we can try and figure out what exactly it is that helps the device. This helped mine and is considered one of the hardest cards to get working. But please at least try this before I get responses like "this wont help". Your not going to ever get rooted with that attitude.

Re: How to root any htc incredible phone with any SD Card. Full proof instructions!

Thanks for the tips, but I think you need to be more careful about using definite statements like 'any card' and 'any PC'. We know from the unRevoked guys that radios and cards play a role, so you're right there.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] blue45:
I believe that SD card does not matter

Let me tell you, The Unrevoked team is a great team. i give them all credit for actually rooting the device. There is still some bugs, im trying to fix those bugs, and provide help how to do that. And I do believe any card can be done on any pc. If your experiencing problems, i might be able to help. Recovery status is easy to achieve if you follow directions. They are wrong about SD cards playing a role though, this is a misguided conception. As my card is one of the hardest cards to get working and practically no one has it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
I've already tried this exact method of getting into adb recovery for like past 2 days, my phone just will not co-operate with me.

The root method with the program is awesome, I told mDawg this in TRC the other night... All i'm saying is it doesn't help people who cant get into adb recovery.

I have all the correct drivers installed, because i can use adb shell and android screen monitor to take screen shots fine when the phone is on.

But my phone will not go into adb recovery no matter what i try, I have tried using 2 different sd cards, 8GB Kingston Class 4 and the 2GB that came with the phone, tried formating in FAT, FAT32, and even filling the cards up with junk.

I'm not shutting you down in anyway, trust me, I would love for this to work for me, but It will not let me into adb recovery no matter what i try, I'm on windows Vista Home 32 and just not having any luck, so you saying this will work every time with any card just isn't true.

Anyways, i hope this does help people.

Sorry to post on both forums, but I'm registered on both just like you, so just put it on both.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
sorry it didn't work for me...the only thing that came close was formatting my card to ext4 but the I had permission issues in linux trying to push the files. That was once and now I can't get into recovery shell again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Permissions? Writing to SD shouldn't require elevated permissions. Anyhow, set up two partitions on the SDcard: ext4 (or another linux partition, shouldn't matter--try something crazy like XFS or reiserFS ;), followed by a FAT32 partition. I believe the linux partition should give you the 5s race window you're looking for, then you'll have a mounted FAT32 to put the decoy update.zip which recovery will read from when payload is pushed.

What OS are you using to make ext4? PM me if you have more questions, or my gtalk is rynosaur74. Anyone who has questions can contact me: I was a 5-day headache person until yesterday :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] immjg:
FYI Sorry to say it is NOT that easy for me. My sdcards will only work if I leave them out until after I start recovery and insert at the sound. I have tried you method and I don't think I'd call if "Full Proof". I know I have the correct driver and the updated lines in the .inf file, because I have rooted my phone. Unfortunatly, I have to use the card insert method, which is a little tricky.

Nice try but I gotta tell you, I think your title is a little misleading.

You're aware that your setup isn't the only setup that allows shell during recovery, right?

I appreciate that you're trying to help, but you're muddying the waters by saying the drivers are the issue. The drivers are a symptom, not the cause, and this still comes down to a race within the phone kernel itself. To insist otherwise is to not understand the processes behind this, and we should then ask that you stop posting on this subject.

i don't get why it won't work since i can access it with the Android SDK, and i was even able to push a new boot screen to it that way so it can't be a driver issue, unless theres multiple drivers
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
You probably just have a fast SDcard. Try the Walmart $10 PNY 2gb. I formatted a Transcend 4gb/class4 with FAT32, 1024 block allocation size and put PB31IMG.zip on it, and it slowed Bootloader and Recovery to a crawl. Backup your data and try whatever card you have with the long format, unusual block size, with a file that bootloader recognizes (e.g, PB31IMG.zip from the downgrade RUU set here on XDA). I think that'll work. PM me if you need.
