[EVO 4G General] allofthepeople:
I know there are similar posts about the general issue but not this particular problem so dont waste my time with search suggestions or flaming me!!! My first EVO had light leakage and after the recent update any activation of the GPS caused the phone to randomly restart (the only non stock thing about the phone was I used UnrEVOked one click "root"). I finally asked for a replacement, got it yesterday and received the OTA today. I hard reset the refurb right out of the box just to make sure. I only had basic programs on this replacement (goggles, google voice, myspace, aim, fourquare, pandora, facebook, twitter, and thats about it) and did not restore anything but my old SMS messages. I just started up foursquare and guess what? THE RANDOM REBOOT! Any advice? I doubt it is fourquare or any of the other basic programs so I'm lost!!
[EVO 4G General] jwterminator:
When my phone was randomly rebooting due to gps issues, I solved it by doing a factory reset. I too thought at the time that it was related to an app that was currently installed but I reinstalled all my apps afterwards and the problem hasn't occurred again since performing the reset.
[EVO 4G General] allofthepeople:
well i did a hard reset on the first and then even did it by the clear storage setting... then got a completely new evo with the same problem after the OTA update
[EVO 4G General] gianmarco00:
I had to do a factory reset for mine too. The phone was resetting anytime an app was accessing GPS.

The interesting thing was that when I pulled the micro SD card out of the back, the problem was solved. Of course, once I put it back in, it returned. I have no idea what the significance of that is but nevertheless did a factory reset yesterday and so far no more problems with all the same apps reinstalled.
[EVO 4G General] allofthepeople:
Thanks I removed it, now no GPS issue??? So what could the problem be the card itself or something that reads the card?
[EVO 4G General] bademailname:
I have had random reset issues with my own Evo, and have hard-reset the device twice already to try and solve the issue. The problem returns after a matter of days. I came to the forums hoping to solve the issue, but so far I have only confirmed what others have seen.

Firstly, I run stock with no root.

Accessing Maps, Camera, ShopSavvy, Goggles, all reset the phone immediately. Also accessing apps that have no GPS access (e.g. NYCMate, Newsrob, Flixster) were causing a reset.

Most importantly, once my phone reset the first time, it would not cease until I removed the battery, or until it drained itself of a charge.

Finding this thread may have solved my issues and saved me a trip to the Sprint store for a reconditioned device.

I have been able to replicate the "solution" of removing the MicroSD card. I have also been able to use a second (newly formatted 2GB) card in its stead with no restarts. My thoughts now are to wipe the original card and replace it and see what happens. If this solves my/our problems, that would be fan-flippin-tastic.

Of course, if the problem persists, it is either an issue with the specific card itself (Samsung 8GB) or with the reader on the phone.
[EVO 4G General] oopl:
My phone reboots a few minutes into a call when GPS is active in Google nav.

Frustrating to say the least.
[EVO 4G General] gianmarco00:
So, after hard resetting my phone did the same thing after a few days. Then I found this solution and haven't had any issues since. Granted it's only been a few days, but this definitely worked.

1. Call Sprint and have them give you the MSL CODE for your phone.

2. Dial ##GPSCLRX#

3. Enter the MSL code that you recieved from Sprint.

4. Your phone will reboot.

5. After your phone starts up again it should not reboot because of a GPS crash (test it out).

I will warn you that some have reported having an endless boot loop as a result and had to do a hard reset from recovery. So backup your data first if you need to. I did mine without the bootloop.

I also read that ShopSavvy may be the culprit. I removed it from my phone before doing this as well. You may want to try that first. I'll report with an update after a couple weeks if still ok or if the problem returns. Even if it does return, this is a relatively simple fix until Sprint gets something official out (yeah, right).

this did not fix my phone it is still rebooting
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
what radio are you guys using? have you updated it recently? or still on the old 7.28? just curious cuz this happened to a friends EVO i am in charge of & sprint store appeared to have updated it as their "fix"
[EVO 4G General] .jond:
I'm running: 2.05.00.06.10

For me, I didn't change anything that I remember outside of installing apps(no radio, etc updates) and it just randomly developed the reboot issue. Doesn't seem related to GPS to me.

I got into a reboot loop while emailing pictures today(had to pull the SD card to stop).

I got a reboot today(but not a loop) when surfing the app store

I get most reboots while surfing the web using dolphin
[EVO 4G General] lpaez:
SD card is the culprit?

I am experiencing all these same symptoms, except for the fact that at this point, I have restored the phone to 'factory' settings, as well as formatted the SD Cards mutliple times (on the phone). I have no apps on the phone, except for those that come with the factory reset image.

I simply have the 4G and GPS turned on, and my google account synced. When I try to surf the web for more than 20 minutes or so using the default web browser, the phone starts to reboot.

I'm at my wit's end and now I'm off to Fry's to buy a new SD Card. seems like that worked for at least one person above.... any other fixes, much appreciated...
[EVO 4G General] afreed1:
Took an evo with this issue to sprint and they replaced the phone. After doing all the things that you did to solve the problem, decided it was hardware related. Have not had the issue with the replacement phone yet(1 month).
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
My brother's Evo was doint this and I tried the factory reset on it twice. It's off with Best Buy right now, hoping he'll have it back before Christmas. Wish I'd seen this thread first but oh well. I'll try ideas here if it still does it when we get it back.
[EVO 4G General] flexte:
replacing the phone was the only thing that worked for me but i now have light leakage and a loose screen as well as small dings on my phone. making the switch to tmobile soon. form what i hear they give out new phones not refurbished ones.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Try re-formatting the card with the Evo itself (not a PC)
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
Good info in this thead.

Mine seems to be working better. Too short of time to call it fixed.

what I did....

1.pulled the SD card and loaded all contents to my laptop.

2.formatted the SD card in my phone

3. Reset GPS using the ##gpsclrx# - I had to do this 3 times. Using GPS Test, I noticed that the GPS was working then locking up (not causing a reboot). After the 3rd time of resetting, it was working properly.

Before I tried this...my phone was rebooting randomly...but...sometimes every 30 secs or so. It's been up for about an hour now with all radios turned on.
[General Questions and Answers] mamboking:
Update using official patch file

You must be runnning the stock FRF85B release with stock recovery. Copy that file to the root of your sdcard, rename to update.zip, launch recovery (power on with volume down held), press power and volume up when the warning triangle icon appears then select 'apply update.zip'.

Download: Google

Update.zip to flash with custom recovery

This is the totally stock FRF91 repacked as update.zip. The radio hasn't changed since FRF50, so if you are using it, you can keep it and install the noradio version.

Download:

- without radio image: multiupload (md5sum: 041b1e21433e636340ca6b56f141a315)

Root

To root FRF91, just flash this update.zip (contains busybox, superuser.apk, su, unsecured boot.img) (md5sum: c6c27598c210576792d6d56738a2edde)

Addons pack

Just flash this update.zip (md5sum: 7cf8074d3685681728043f367e6b35fd) contains :

- cyanogenmod 6.0 kernel (2.6.34 overclockable to 1113mhz using setcpu)

- dev tools in xbin

- hudge apn list

The three updates can be flashed at the same time (I mean without rebooting between the flashes), just flash it in this order: base system, root then addons and reboot

[EVO 4G General] Steve325:
I know this problem pops up all the time, but mine is a little bit different. I have had notifications disabled in the stock messaging program since day 1 and never had an issue. Now, 3 days later, the notifications are popping back up in the stock messaging program and I didn't change a thing. I checked back to make sure it was still unchecked and I was right, it still was. I get 2 notifications; one from handcent and one from the stock messaging.

I had this problem back a while ago on my Droid but I forgot what I did to fix it. Hopefully someone can chime in if they remember how to!

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] AcIdC0R3:
In the stock messaging go into settings and tick ON notifications and then tick it back OFF and see if that will work.
[EVO 4G General] Steve325:
Nope, still the same problem.

I've tried uninstalling Handcent in the past and reinstalling, it still didn't fix the problem
[EVO 4G General] Steve325:
Remembered how to fix it! It was when I downloaded Beautiful Widgets Pack 2. There's a messaging widget that it installs and it turns notifications on inside the widget. In order to turn it off you have to go to Widgets / Beautiful SMS Widget / Menu / Turn off notifications

Problem Solved, hopefully if someone else has this problem they can learn from it
[EVO 4G General] kycrop44:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This has been driving me crazy for a month lol. Although I never tried really really hard to fix it. I thought it was weird it kept happening even after I installed a new ROM. But id do a full restore on apps everytime so this made total sense. Thanks again buddy
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
Is there a way to make it so when I go to my "People" folder/widget/app (whatever it is) and then press on a person's name to have the phone automatically dial them instead of going into their information and having dial them from within the menu?
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
Yep press and hold on screen select shortcut the direct dial then the select the contact then the action for the contact the voila your all set direct dail from home screen

"evo you look good won't you back that nand up, damn that rom is fine won't you back that nand up, dude that's a sweet theme won't you back that nand up, what a cool lock screen won't you back that nand up"
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
I appreciate the instructions but they were confusing and I didn't understand most of what you just said (Android noob here).

What I discovered was:

People > find your contact > press and hold contact > when the action screen pops up, hit "Dial Mobile" (or whatever you have them listed as)

Is there a simpler way without the extra step of pressing and holding and then hitting "Dial"?
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
On your home screen push the add button on the right bottom then click shortcut then click direct dial select a contact then select the number to call for that contact then you can call them with a push of a button

When you have installed this go to:

After do this tab Menu---->Set wallpaper--->choose a pic (the pics must be 480x800)

Same for the Top and Bottom bar.

Tab Menu--->Set Wallpaper--->Skin Taskbar and Softkeybar.

When you should have a different between the Bars and the background Pic you must do this.

If you want to disable the WM6.5.x specific wallpaper position, goto HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and set Co0kie.WinMo6.5.x to 0 and restart sense.

Hope this help!

Sorry for not posting a pic yet but the only hosting site I use is Facebook and I need to set one up for photobucket or something. Whats happening is that the actual slider that goes over the icons doesnt show the icon inside the slider/square box when you go over it. For an example, when you slide to the home screen and let go, you will see the house picture inside the little slider/selector box but on my screen the icon does not show inside the slider box

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] olmo47:
Question: I am a newbie to ANDROID world, I like to 'root' my EVO, and like to know what will happening to my 'contacts' and other 'staff' I have on the phone?

What are the benefit of 'rooting' the EVO? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dave2582:
When you root your phone, you are your own Administrator, versus having an unrooted phone, and just being a guest on the phone. A rooted phone will allow you to flash custom roms, themes, can tether your phone to a pc or a gaming system, can backup your phone and restore. You will/should have a better performing phone, with the battery lasting a little longer. Endless list of things you can do. Do some reading, you should start here and just go from there.

When you first powered the EVO, you had to sign in to google using a gmail account. This account that you created automatically stores your contacts on an offshore account (google) so that it will allow you to use the internal phone storage for other things, like apps. When you do root and flash a rom, you are supposed to do a data wipe/factory reset to ensure a clean flash for the particular rom of your choosing. After flashing a rom, you have to reboot, and have to sign into the google gmail account to retrieve your contacts.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izzystylez:
If my current rom does not have these commands active how can i change settings in these menus or bring the commands back up?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
The rom wont have them.. the htc roms apk is built on htc frameworks and sprints samsung moments apk is built on samsungs framework.. So having it on an aosp rom probably wont come any time soon.

If you want to do a PRL update you have to flash a sprint rom and update it and then nandroid back.

How do I get my own photo showing under messaging, for messages sent by me?

I have all my contacts photos fine, but I cannot seem to set mine :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Put your SIM card in another phone that lets you edit phone numbers on SIM card. Then create a new phone number for yourself. It should auto-detect once back in the Nexus One.

This is a bug in FroYo and there's no other way to fix it until Google does.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hshah:
Do you mean create a contact on the SIM memory with my name and number?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
all I did was create a contact named "me" with my number and a pic, worked fine.

although I don't think it has to be named "me" as long as it has your number.

[General Questions and Answers] metalliqaz:
This week I finally got around to backing up my text messages and clearing the text message cache on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Verizon). (my God, it had become slow) I'm running WM 6.1 and it seems that the MMS text messages are stored separately in proprietary ".dat" files in the "MMS UA" folder in My Documents. I searched around xda-dev and couldn't find any way to extract the files contained within. From what I understand, they are referred to as "Arcsoft MMS".

Anyway, the file format is somewhat obfuscated so a true extractor wasn't possible but I was able to produce a tool that could extract all the files out of my .dat files. It is a total hack-job, but there don't seem to be any options. Like I said, I searched around for a few minutes and couldn't find anything else so I am now posting to ask the following:

Does anyone want the tool?

If there is no other extractor out there, I will post it to this thread. Also, anyone who has some Arcsoft MMS files handy that don't contain any private information could help by sending me a copy if the tool can't handle them. With some input, it could possibly become a valuable tool for the community.

Lend me your input.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] terminal3:
Sounds awesome, please post the tool!
[General Questions and Answers] tobbbie:
Yes, would appreciate this as well - so many devices and MMS are cluttered among all of them.
[General Questions and Answers] metalliqaz:
Cool. Well here it is guys.

Remember that I couldn't completely discover the proprietary format, and although it works on all of my attachments, it may not work on all of yours. It is easy to update the tool, though, so just message me.
[General Questions and Answers] sunneyloves:
thanks for this mate...s
[General Questions and Answers] tobbbie:
Thanks, works - not on all, though. Will check further if there is a common cause for the failing ones.

Improvement proposal:

1.) touch the extracted files with the timestamp of the .dat file

2.) check the content of the smil file in the body section if there are elements supposed to be present. afaik, the .smil is a tag-language which can deliver the MMS content with an appropriate viewer
