You speak as if threatening to report my post is going to change my opinion?

Report me, do it.

By the way, the answer can be searched. You just obviously haven't searched well enough. I'll contribute by saying that I've had the exact problem you have and fixed it with a very easy solution, the only difference was that I properly searched and received my answer.

With that said, I'll help you. Go here.

I'd be hard pressed to find that a MOD wouldn't give you the same suggestion I'm giving you, since XDA is based largely on the idea that searching should always be the first thing you do, which will 99% of the time return your answer... and believe me, your answer to this question is part of that 99%.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
you can stop replying now, since you aren't doing anything but arguing.

I've searched, and through my ignorance, i've failed to find what i need. Sue me and move on.

In case you also missed it, in the original post, i posted threads i'd found using search. Unfortunately, they didn't help me, and i failed to locate others that would. Not saying they aren't out there, i just didn't find them.

Now, what is the point of your posting, if not to help? Since you will probably claim "directing", i've already indicated i have searched, and couldn't find what i needed. Which you've either missed, meaning you need instructions on how to read posts, or you decided it wasn't up to your standards, which places you back into the "bashing noobs" category.

Again, since you aren't truly trying to help, and are instead telling me to search, when i stated i already have and failed to locate what i needed, you can stop replying now since you're only arguing.

If you decide to offer genuine help, besides things that have already been attempted and were stated to have been attempted before you ever made your first post in this thread, it will be appreciate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
So be it, I will.

I know what your OP said, you said you couldn't find it via search. I'm telling you it's there. That means, search again... until you find the answer.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
What great advice:

"repeat the steps you failed at."

Don't give up your day job, unless it's counseling.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Do you quit everything you try because you failed at it? Search is a tool, practice makes perfect. Understanding what keywords you should enter is the first step.

Noted.

Here's a helpful link to get you better acquainted with searching:

How-To Search
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
Unless you can provide better search words for me to attempt to use besides the ypical USB, Repair, Functionality, i can't see the point of me redoing the same steps, nor can i see the point in your completely failed attempt at being cool and smart by telling someone to repeat what they did because they missed it.

I've already informed you i could not find what i was looking for. Since you obviously have the world at your fingertips via a search and have mastered it's ways that would make a commander of the force jealous, why can't you post a link that would help me, instead of just arguing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
I really don't want to help you, mainly because you can't help yourself. But it seems no one else wants to...a problem for me since I decided to post (fail me).

You said:

How do you know? Which sub categories did you check exactly in Device Manager?

Do you have a logcat file you can post? If not, run one and post while connecting your phone.

Basic troubleshooting steps:

1) Reflash the current ROM you have, making sure to: Wipe data, cache, and dalvik first, twice for the hell of it.

This worked for me.

2) Flashing a different ROM altogether to see if the problem can be reproduced, this will rule out the ROM itself or your Phone.

3) Plug USB into different computer port, testing USB connections.

4) Uninstalling current drivers for your phone, BOTH the HTC sync driver and the disk-drive driver, then reinstalling each, one at a time. (Use the Vista 32/64 bit drivers. SEARCH for them)

Searches that give answers, but titles don't necessarily reflect user's problem:

You need to figure out which of these is causing the issue: Your phone, the ROM, the USB port, the cable, device drivers, etc.

Troubleshooting each one is key. If each fail, rinse and repeat again before proceeding.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
Alright, I will stop the both of you right here. You both are breaking rules one way or another.

@magnu5,

Rule 1 states that you should search before you post. I know that you are stating that you did search, but if you are not coming up with a solution, you may want to re-think how you are searching as yours is a common issue (afaik)... and no, I don't have the answer as I don't have an Android device. I have only seen similar questions come up a bunch of times.

It is true that you could have consolidated your questions in a single thread, but it isn't a crime, particularly since you are posting in the right area.

@pseudoremora,

This section is Q&A. This should be the only place on the whole device forum where bashing people for not reading or for asking things that may seem obvious to some, should be grounds for bans. You said (about a page and a half ago) that you had an answer on this guy's issue as the same thing had happened to you. If you would like to share the answer, then by all means. If you have nothing better to say, then don't. "Go search", while true, isn't all that helpful, particularly when the OP is proving to you that he had already done it. Rule #2 does say you should respect others regardless of whether they have questions or not.

Now, please let this stop now.

Edit: I just saw your reply. Thanks for the suggestions to magnu5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Understandable. However, I know almost any question for Android and for other devices has been answered before (especially since XDA has been around for a while). Search will give you an answer. I hate the fact that people give up so easily with search and instead post redundant or similar types of questions in different places, just to get a response, that's all.

But, you're right. I'll stop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
Steps:

1. I have done the whiping, and installed multiple roms since the problem started. i've installed rooted 1.47, EvoNonsense, reinstalled Fresh, Damage Control, and finally back to factory ruu 1.47 after saving the file from the temp directory, renaming to PC36IMG.zip, and placing on sd card via a friends G1 used to access sd card via USB with computer. With the exception of the RUU, before every other rom cache, dalvik, and data were all wiped. no change.

2. See 1.

3. Multiple computers, and multiple cables have been used. My boss also has an Evo, and his computer is capable of detecting his just fine. Mine, not so much.

4. This has already been tried as well. In addition, i've used other computers here in our lab that have not been touched, installed drivers fresh from HTC's site for synch, on both XP and Win7 machines we have in the lab here. No change.

Attached is a screen shot of what deivce manager looks like.

I just installed the rom.zip from RUU1.47. It has fixed my recovery going back from Amon, which I will post in the other thread so people can search for the correct title and find steps they need.

However, even after that, USB port still does not function.

I'm looking through those three links now. Thanks for posting them.

Edit: attaching image made it tiny. Here's a hosted one:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Your pictures too small.

This is where you proceed to the next step. You've ran the 1.47 RUU, your USB port doesn't function even after applying the other steps. Sprint would be your next option, as it could be a phone problem (hardware related). Have a tech look at it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
Yep, none of those links helped out.

I've pretty much exhausted everything i've found (and been directed to) that i can do on my end from what i've been able to tell.

Heading back to sprint tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnu5:
Had the phone replaced saturday at Sprint. Nothing else ever fixed it, s i went ahead and brought it in.
[Hero CDMA General] digitm:
So last night I noticed my phone had no signal, thinking it was a tower issue I waited till morning, nope. I've tried a reboot, reset, installing a different rom, prl update... nothing is working. I didn't change any settings or download anything last night either. What would cause this????
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
Have you tried going into range of another tower? Your local tower may be down, it happens.
[Hero CDMA General] digitm:
no not yet, how far on average do you think they separate towers?

i actually had a similar problem. it ws fine last night but then this morning i had no bars and data read "1x" instead of "Ev". it was like this all morning but it just started working like normal about 5 minutes ago. so i guess it was just a tower messed up here or something
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Fail. LOL

Well, at least you figured it out. :D
[Hero CDMA General] digitm:
Got my phone working. Turns out my prl file was bad, I tried to do an OTA update before but it would just give me an error. So I started looking around and found there was a prl update back on 7-13, I downloaded it and did a manuel update. Service came right back. BTW thanks for the suggestions.

Hello. Complete newbie here, and I appologise if this is the wrong place to post this.

Just recently bought myself an HTC Raphael: Touch Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1. Now when I bought this, I forgot to ask for a Linux based OS so I got this and an ActiveSync app for my computer.

I have done a search in the forums using some keywords, but haven't seen any answeres to what I'm after. What I want is if anyone can recommend me an OS that is Linux based, that I can access the "root" of from any computer without the need of a third party app (just get in as if it was a mem stick), and can give the computer wireless internet (I'm guessing that drivers are needed no matter what for this part). Yes, this phone does give my computer wireless internet as it is now and would like to keep that. Anything else... I can download later. ;)

Oh, and would like detailed instructions on how to 1: Backup the current OS (incase of problems), 2: Wipe it clean, and 3: installing the new OS.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistadias:
So I was going to purchase the official htc car dock and I came across problems such as the phone failing to save the dock settings and overheating when placed in the car dock.

Can anyone whose has the dock please confirm if this is true? Does cyanogenmod allows the dock settings to be saved?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigo1087:
Umm..Since the Google store Closed today, where are you intending on buying the dock?

Also Most Phones will get hot when charging and using GPS Navigation and the same time, my G1 overheated and N1 does get warm.

Its becuase the Battery is being drained real fast, and trying to charged simulatneously.

Why don't they make some sort of circuit, that could bypass charging the batt. temporialy and run the phone off ac?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzCDN:
I have found that when charging, using GPS / Navigation and in the hot sun the N1 will get very hot. In fact I've had two sudden reboots which I believe were overheating.

It works fine if you only plug in the charger for short periods of time ... which is enough to keep it going.

The BT speakerphone worked well with the stock FroYo but I think there may be issues with CM6.0 RTM. The BT connects but I've only had a couple of calls and I am not sure if it was using the N1's speakerphone or the car mount's speakerphone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
I have had one or two calls not use the dock for audio and instead use the built in speaker, but other than that it's great. The phone gets warm, but so does using the wall charger that came with the phone. It has never overheated.

But as mentioned before, unless you have already purchased the dock you are probably out of luck. I don't know where you could buy one now that the store is closed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrinklefree:
The N1 has a bug whereas sometimes when it's plugged in being charged, the touch screen goes wacky and becomes either unresponsive or the touch positions are way off. I've found that simply pressing the top button to turn the screen off then back on fixes it right away.

This is probably the issue you're been reading about. That aside the dock is great and have no qualms recommending it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepinshadow:
i've had that too, but not when it was docked, i was playing skies of glory and downloading something via 3G in the background, and it was pretty hot outside, so it did the same thing..

about the car dock, the phone does get hot, but it never failed me inside the car dock, you can also turn your A/C to go to the windscreen to keep it a bit cooler.

With Eclair i had the problem that when it was in the dock and i got a call it never actually used the dock for the phone call, now in Froyo that works just fine, i get a call, the trackball flashes blue and i can hear and talk through the dock audio.

It's definetly worth buying, i didn't have any major issues with it yet!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] substance12:
I have this problem too. Do all n1s have this? I was about to return mine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
not sure if its even possible, or maybe not yet. but with 2 galaxy s phones being out i was wondering if its possible to get a touchwiz 3.0 ui instead of sense. I actually really like the layout and design and all the little tweaks it has. Is it possible to get a complete port of the ui to the evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikeru:
It's possible in the context of "anything is possible" but I would bet my money on it never happening.

If TouchWiz is anything like sense, it's integrated into numerous parts of the Android OS all over the place. TouchWiz is also proprietary to Samsung, like Sense is to HTC. In other words, there isn't source code for developers to "port" from. This would be a large task even if source code was available.

IMHO I would rather see someone's time spent either helping others find solutions that meet your needs that are already available or implementing an open source solution that would work on more than just the EVO.

Just my 0.02c :) feel free to correct me on whatever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
yeah thats what i thought :/ i just love the bottom down, style of icons, and all the menu styles
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasecloud4:
Interesting. I though most people hated/disliked TouchWiz.

It's definitely not the prettiest interface out there, but it does its job. If you like it build it, but as for me, I'll stick with vanilla Android.

Although a community based UI (above just a new launcher) that incorporated some of the features out there like weather, social networks, etc. would definitely be a welcome change, as it could be streamlined for speed optimizations.

Just my $.02.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter185:
If a dev could find a dump and port it over, that's essentially what ava did with his froyo sense rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
well i posted a thread here, since realizing a whole rom for that ui might be to much, maybe just asking for the launcher. i know the touchwiz launcher apk works on the evo, but none of the widgets load.

is it possible to replace the launcher on my dc rom with the touchwiz one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikeru:
Maybe this is a great opportunity for you to get involved with the community and start learning about how this stuff works.

Looks like the stock ROM for the Galaxy S can be obtained here (the Vibrant)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698

You could always start taking it apart and try to isolate the TouchWiz components and "bake" them into your own Android ROM.

Looks like there's a good place to start for cooking your own ROM here:

...and you'll probably want to read up on Android in general so I'd encourage you to Google up the SDK.

thought this would be a good place to post this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
TouchWiz has some nice stuff. I kinda like the launcher, and there are some kinda useful widgets. I hate the icons, and some of the other theme stuff.

I think what you want will kind exist though. Most of the widgets have as good or better equivalents in the market, and ADW launcher offers the sideways sliding app drawer, and as mentioned above we have the launcher available.

I think skinning would be the missing part to really get a nice TouchWiz feel. Someone could make an icon theme, and maybe themed versions of some market sourced widgets that have the TouchWiz look and feel.

I wanted a more AOSP rom and started working on my own and learned a ton, but then tjohnson's ROM really filled the hole better than I could, so I never released anything. If you can get into this an start breaking stuff apart, I think there are enough people out there that would want TouchWiz to make it worth while, but if you aren't up to the effort of porting, skinning would probably achieve most of what you want with a lot less effort.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
after installing the apk, make sure you go to menu>settings>applications>HTC Sense and clear defaults then force stop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Drr, there was a whole other point I forgot.

This is why I am excited about launcher Pro right now. Fede sees that a lot of people like Sense, and realized that he can really implement the great parts of Sense on his own with some effort. This have several benefits. One is giving Sense-like features to those with phones that don't come with it, and allowing people to choose what parts they do or do not want to use. We kinda already do this in custom mods and themeing, but his work will work on non-rooted phones too. Right now his focus is Sense-like widgets, but the same type of effort could be made for TouchWiz or Blur type widgets, and additionally everything could be skinned together, really giving users a great choice without having to give up much at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokuzumi:
I love LauncherPro. Been using it since version 0.0.2, or whatever. I just hope that now that he is charging for the app, HTC doesn't come down on him with a cease and desist letter. He does seem to be copying the Sense UI, now with the scrollable widgets, and the setup of the widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
but the widgets and such have a different look and better functionality/fluidity. It is not truly based off sense UI, Any body can make something that looks similar but works differently. I supported him day one with LP+ for 2.99. Well worth it.

I bought Rhodium 1 year ago. Everything fine but in last month I found out that screen is responsive really strange and hardware buttons have also from time to time problems - so I want to get phone for complaint to seller.

I reflashed it to several custom ROMs, and here is questions:

should I reflash it back to stock ROM and lock SPL, as I am asking about hardware issues - not software warranty?

it was bought as EN version in czech republic(brno) so should I use europe or eastern europe stock ROM?

Maybe it's because I upgraded from an ancient AT&T Tilt (not Tilt II!) and this phone is just so much better that I don't notice the flaws.

But every post on here where people mention some bug or another and Mine does not have said bug.

My GPS works, even in the house (which I thought was not possible, because the GPS signal isn't supposed to go through walls)

My Battery lasts from 9:30 am until midnight with downloads, music, calls, video, browsing, and facebook. I have all of the default battery saving options.

My accelerometer/gyro work perfectly.

Please tell me I'm not the only one, because I am so happy with this phone, and it would be a shame if so many people where having problems that it became a flop. :(

Just my take on it. It is a new phone so there is still a lot of "unknown" about the phone. Also, if you go to any kind of forum like this you usually see a lot of issue/help threads rather than praise threads. Its just the way it is.

They sold almost a million Galaxy S devices before even launching in the states, and the only 'common' problem I have seen that is not obviously software is the GPS issues. But it seems like most can change around a few settings and be fine.

Most if not all of my issues are because I do not know android. Once one or two software updates come out (or cooks make some nice custom roms with bug fixes) most if not all problems I think will vanish.

No problems, except for the GPS issue. But I live in NYC, and the buildings have always been an issue when trying to connect to the satellites with any device. Anyway, with that said, no issues with the phone/settings/performance etc. at all. :)
