I was having a weird issue with Slacker where it would just randomly starting skiping ahead tracks. The issue went away though. :confused:

It seemed to be possibly related to having speakers plugged into the headphone jack.

Weird thing was it would skip ahead even when Slacker was in the background.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I have no idea what could be causing it. I am going to watch logcat tomorrow, doubt it will show anything but its worth a try.

On the bottom...what does it mean?

Other: 49MB in 3?

Avail: 170MB+116MB in 14?

Why have a +? I ran out of space installing apps (trying to test out Earth), I had well enough in the Avail: section and pretty sure in the Other: section, but was told that I was out of Space?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Funny, my browser stopped responding then I too just got a status bar warning that I was running low on space (which is odd cuz I don't have a lot of apps).

I used 'SystemPanel' to see my application storage and it varied wildly each time I checked it over a period of an hour. The status bar warning went away & then came back.

So I just rebooted & everything seems fine (over 100M free again).

Maybe a malfunction or a bug? Are you stock or using a ROM? I'm using CM 5.0.7.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
The browser in froyo has a known memory bug where it keeps using all available memory. System panel will show 80 mb or more being consumed by it. That's giving your error I'm sure.

Maybe it's not just Froyo cuz I think the same thing happened to my device

Love love love the phone, hating Sprint so far. I was on T-Mobile up until Evo launch date, was using the Nexus One. T-Mobile here in Aurora CO has been pretty good, but 3g data did time out, and texts would not send at times requiring a reboot, on all their Android Devices. I got about 1.5mb down and 300kb up on T-Mobile. Then I switched to Sprint...

Don't get me wrong, I did look up their coverage map, and it does state that I should be getting good 3g signal everywhere I go. At my house, I barely get 300kb down, sometimes it doesn't even want to test my connection speed over 3g. I work out a lot and like to listen to Pandora at the gym, constantly times out, signal is even worse there it seems. Today I even began seeing texts arrive 30 mins after that person sent me one, insane! I don't remember it being that big of an issue before, maybe I screwed something up when flashing custom roms? Just looking for ideas here, if not, I am going to be cancelling sprint and getting T-Mobile again, which I'd rather not.

I am running .31 radio, maybe it causes isues? Anybody have link to an older one? And running a custom rom too!

Hello All, I've lost root on my phone for some reason, and when I go to redo the tutorial the Super-User app is not there after I run "sh /sdcard/unrevoked", so I can't allow root access.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm running Fresh Rom with Sprint's 2.27.651.5 release. NOT .6

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prios914:
It's a typo in flipz's script that prevents SU from working and he has posted a fix. You can click the link at the bottom of his rom post or you can get to it through here "bugs.geekfor.me/view.php?id=18"

Since I'm new on these forums I can't post links, but you can just copy the above address and paste it in the browser address barr and place the http tag in front of it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nautical34:
Thanks, I downloaded that and flashed it... though it's still not prompting a dialog in the Superuser App (found it in another thread) when I "su" from my computer terminal so I can grant it permissions.

Any Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prios914:
From what I know, with the fresh rom you don't need to perform that step. Try enabling wireless tether and see if that prompt's the Super User app

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRidill:
Hey all, long time reader first time poster regarding troubleshooting. I searched the site and couldn't locate anything regarding this, so I apologize if I fail at research. I have a T-Mobile G1, and the phone very oddly is running perfectly when the keyboard has been exposed but once closed the phone freezes. No touchscreen movement, trackball, camera button, ect; only the power button idles the screen to black. Now at first I got worried but I flipped the keyboard out and it functions perfectly again. I rebooted phone and it is the same case, the G1 start up and rom loading screen will remain frozen unless I slide open keyboard.

Is this a motherboard error? Seeing the touchscreen functions when open I eliminated that, but has this happened to anyone else? Thanks, and sorry for wall of text.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Boot into recovery and see if the trackball works in there. If it does, then its simply a firmware issue and a full wipe should fix it. If it's not, then you probably dropped the phone or something and there is probably some sort of cable disconected/brocken inside the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRidill:
I completed a full wipe and am experiencing the same problems. I take very good care with my phone and was dropped once months back by someone bumping into me. Would it be possible for myself to self serve the phone and make sure all wires are secure? Or is it possibly anything else?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlatinumMOTO:
I have the same issue I've taken the phone apart along with many other G1s and have never seen this problem. I used this phone for almost 6 months lent it to a friend for a week and now it does this. So my guess is it's the flex cable between the screen and keyboard or would it have to do with the motherboard do you think?

I'm taking it apart as we speak I'll post what I find.

[HD2 General] Reignzone:
To make a long story, short...

I upgraded to the T-Mobile USA official updated ROM for the HD2 when it leaked about a month ago. Everything went smoothly, things were in tip-top shape, and all seemed to be in perfect working order.

Well, for the past week or so...

I haven't been able to REFRESH my weather and location-based information on my handset. Therefore, in Google Maps, the GPS Location feature is also useless. Anyway, I don't have this issue via Wi-Fi, because everything is capable of being refreshed. But with my 3G coverage in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (which is usually exceptional) I cannot refresh the weather or GPS data.

I've already performed a hard reset to try and remedy the issue, but even still on this completely stock, upgraded ROM... nothing.

If anyone has any bright ideas, please feel free to enlighten me in the comments below. Thanks.
[HD2 General] amkothaw:
hey, i am in houston. i have that problem sometims, but usually fixes itself in a few hours. i am on an energy rom though.
[HD2 General] toreone:
Any idea if you are close to being at your limit as far as data usage?! I know there is a cap not entirely sure exactly what is the limit but this might be it. There is no reason for it to update over wifi and not on your 3G. This might not be what is happening to you but...you never know. i read certain features pretty much stop working until you cycle into your next month. I am on the upgraded stock t-mobile ROM since it leaked and have not had any issues. I set my weather and GPS to update when I tell it not automatically but when I get to work it says I am at work and when I get home it says im home.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
I've only had it work once or twice since the issue began occurring at the beginning of last week... and it was by soft resetting my handset, then immediately calling upon the data by manually refreshing the weather tab.

Otherwise, the issue doesn't just "sort itself out," at least... not in my case.

I doubt it's a "data cap" issue. I have what would be the equivalent of an "Unlimited Everything Plan." And for the record, I've had this phone since 5 days before its public release, and haven't encountered a single issue with it... until recently. But yeah, I'm also using the upgraded ROM from T-Mobile. There have NOT been any other issues since updating to the officially released version. Also, my billing cycle begins, and then ends on the 23rd of the following month. So, considering it's only been a few weeks since that time period... and given the fact that this issue began about one week ago... I highly doubt that's the problem.

Thanks for your input though... I could use any thoughts.

Hello all!

Well... to start off with... this is one of my very first apps, so go easy on me. ;) I'm sort of a "junior developer," you see (at least I strive to be). :P I would also like to mention: this is NOT complete (yet!). It is NOT ready for use, I only posted it because I would like to get some feedback.

TrackPad by x.v_

This connects to the Java server app running on your computer over WiFi (meaning both your phone and computer have to be on the same network, sorta)! Then it sends a long series of points, based on how you move your finger, telling the computer to move the mouse. Thus, working like a trackpad of a laptop.

What this will do:

->allows control of the mouse

->allows you to click

->keyboard functionality (potentially, haven't decided tbh)

->completely multiplatform (server is in Java, which Win, Linux, and Mac have)

What it currently does:

->allows control of the mouse

->completely multiplatform (server is in Java, which Win, Linux, and Mac have)

Change log:

->v0.1 - First release (developmental preview :P)

Have full Nand root with Clockwork recovery 1.8.2.1. Every time I try to do a nandroid back up, either from within rom manager or directly from recovery, it errors out. It says "E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.img" when doing directly from recovery. When doing from within rom manager, it'll boot into the recovery screen with the yellow triangle and the android, but sticks there.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
Anyone able to help us out? its kinda a big problem not to be able to backup..

Also when im in recovery I see that /tmp/recovery.log is not accessible, nor is it a file. I tried to create it but /tmp is read only.. I did the full nand unlock and can write to /system while android is running.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:
Hey guys, thanks for the bug report. I'll fix this today!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyghost:
Hi Koush,

I seem to still be getting this error, as well as "E:Can't make /tmp/update_binary" when I try to flash new kernels.

I can still apply new ROMs and some other updates without issue, other than the aforementioned recovery.log error.

This is on a HTC Desire using the latest version of ClockworkMod as installed by ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:
What version of Clockwork are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmithjr:
I was using the newest version of Clockwork flashed from the newest version of Rom Manager and I was still getting this error in the recovery:

E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log

I tried flashing back to an older version but it said the same thing.

I had to reflash the stock recovery img to get my Nandroid backup to work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:
Which version does it say in the recovery window I'm trying to figure out if the flash actually worked :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmithjr:
Sorry Koush, I uninstalled it last night when I was having the issues and I can't remember the version numbers (it was pretty late). From what I can remember, the Rom Manager was version 2.0.0.5 I think, and the Recovery was 2.0.2.X maybe? I can't really remember. It did say the right number in the recovery window.

Last night I wiped and installed a new ROM on my phone, then installed Rom Manager from the market and flashed the newest recovery. It looked like everything was working but when I tried to flash a ROM, the phone would reboot into recovery, print a few lines of text on the screen, and then just reboot right away. So I rebooted to recovery from Rom Manager and it booted to your recovery, but it gave me the error at the bottom of the screen.

I flashed an older recovery (version 1.0.8.2 or something) and it did the same thing. Maybe I'll re dl it and try again today.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyghost:
2.0.1.4, which is what ROM Manager 2.0.0.5 reports as the latest.

Just tried flashing 2.0.2.0 from the experimental section in ROM Manager, but when I rebooted to retest it seems ClockworkMod itself reports v1.8.2.1

I did this using unrEVOked 2 on a Mac, a few weeks back, which apparently should have installed ClockworkMod 2.0.1.0 - as ROM Manager reports 2.0.2.0 is present and gives no errors on flashing new versions, how can I resolve this?

Edit: Just rebooted into ClockworkMod v1.8.2.1 and tried to manually flash the 2.0.1.4 and the 2.0.2.0 recovery update zips but these too failed immediately with the "E:Can't make /tmp/update_binary" error.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koush:

I have new Radio, and Running Bugless Beast Rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilRico:
Well, you have a custom ROM loaded, so that would change the result. I too have the latest radio, but I'm still using the stock ROM with my recovery. There has to be something we can do fix this issue. I don't want to load any custom ROM's because I haven't seen one that appeals to me. I'm wondering of users that have kept the stock ROM, but have it rooted via Toast method have this issue or are they using apps that aren't effected by this????? Someone has to know of a fix or a file that we can copy over the one that has broken us.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
Well at least we know there is a cure for it. Either run a custom rom, or talk to the dev who made it work in his ROM to see what he did to cure it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilRico:
I agree, but that's why this thread was made, in hope that someone who knew how to fix this issue would chime in here and let us know, so that we didn't have to bother anyone for a fix....

Wishful thinking I guess.... :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:

I flashed the flipz OTA Update 1.32.651.6 in recovery mode, and then flashed the radio but it made my phone go in a constant re-boot. I did a wipe, Dalvik wipe and a cache wipe and success!!!! I was booting with no issues AND all the apps that I wanted in the market were showing up with no issues + I had full root access!!!! I lost some of my data, but that's a small price to pay... Good thing I had my backups! Thanks again to XpAcErX. OP should link to this post for future reference.

and closed the contract?

I bought EVO 4g from RS on a launch day. I have been playing with this phone/ Android for some time now.

For whatever reasons I have decided to return it.

My question is, does RS charge restocking fee? Somewhere on this forum I read that one guy paid $35 restocking fee. I thought there is absolutely no charge to try this phone on Sprint.

So, has anyone returned it to RS after purchasing it from it?

I know many ppl like their EVOs and I too think its a very good phone but just wanted to check before I go to RS today.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
Nobody paid a $35 restocking fee at a Radioshack. You can return it within 30 days without a hassle.

[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
what if i dropped it and there's a dent on the corner?
[EVO 4G General] v2tech:
Thanks for the response. I am just coming back from RS. I returned my EVO and canceled my contract with sprint.

One thing to note for anyone who bought from RS. They DO NOT refund you the gift card money. They just give you another gift card for $50. I never never shop at RS or Best Buy for that matter. I did not like this policy. Anyway it could be my mistake that I did not see that rule when I reserved EVO. Finally, I reserved iPhone 4 with that gift card. I won't waste my money on their overpriced accessories. Anyway, I am going to buy iPhone 4.

Lesson learned here. IF you really want to try out worry free any Phone from Sprint/ATT etc. DO NOT buy from these resellers. Buy directly from Sprint/ATT etc. Then you don't have to worry about these gift cards that force you to purchase something from those places (RS/BestBuy). Electronics items are cheaper online if you are not in a hurry.
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Will there ever be any ROMs for 2.13 so we don't have to downgrade?
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
SPL 2.13? Do you mean SPL 2.10, on Stock ROM 2.13? You can actually just downgrade by flashing stock 2.10.1 via USB...as long as the ROM contains SPL 2.08.

Confused?....there's a pretty easy guide to follow on the front page. And to answer your question, the ROM has nothing to do with the version of SPL on your phone.

SPL is like a gateway on your phone. The stock SPL has pretty strict regulations: HSPL (what you flash over the stock SPL with) is like an open door. It allows you to flash whatever ROM you choose on your phone.

So no, there probably will never be any custom ROM's specifically built for SPL 2.10 because the ROM and SPL/HSPL version are two very different independent things.

~Jasecloud4
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Got it. I tried that HSPL and flashing from SD without, also HSPL2 and couldn't get it to work. My stock ROM is fast after I made my registry tweaks. Don;t really see to much of a use to really spend allot of time on this since most custom roms are eye candy.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
I'm coming from a Touch Pro 2 with a custom 6.5.1 ROM. This is my first go at Android. As I use my device I keep coming across little quirks and things that I don't like. I usually forget for a few hours until that quirk pop-up again. I just thought I would document these things here and see if anyone can provide some input or help.

1) Google Contacts (it sucks)

2) Why does the contact manager want to give me the option for sending a message to all the fax numbers in my contacts (IE: click on a contact, and now I have 4 options for sending a mesage, - cell, fax, office and home - UGH that is SUPER WRONG!!

3)Why sort contacts by the first name.... who does that ??? Why not give an option. (EDIT: found out how to fix this... Thanks!)

4)Why store all the names as just one field, not first name and last name seperately? (EDIT: Found out how to fix this one too.. Thanks!)

5)No option for a display name in contacts

6)Can't edit a contact from "Phone" type to "Google" type. (is it because Google contacts sucks?)

As you may notice, this has a lot to do with contacts, I've been messing with my EVO for a few days now to try and get my contacts straight.... I'll add more stuff as I run across it.
