[HD2 General] eel316:
Running the Elegancia rom. Have noticed when running gps apps like iguidance or google maps, when tthe hd2 goes into standby or is locked gps signal is dropped until hd2 is taken out of standby. Anyone know a registry edit or tweak to prevent losing gps signal on standby? My previous phones (htc touch and htc touch pro) did not do this
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsquared:
Hey everyone, I looked around and didn't find anyone having my particular problem, but If I put this in the wrong place, or someone has already solved it, just let me know. Don't want to waste your time!

I got my DINC the day they came out in stores...the first one my local store sold in fact. It was working great, but I hated the bloatware and the fact that the Bluetooth stack was not up to date...couldn't connect with a new hands free speaker phone I just bought (Parrot mini-kit slim). I had occasional random reboots, but not too many. Once or twice a week maybe.

So when the unrevoked one-click came out I tried it. Worked great.

Then I started trying ROMs. With everything I've tried I get random reboots...a lot of them. Sometimes it reboots once and works fine for a couple hours. Other times, it will loop until I do a battery pull. When it loops it will sometimes make it all the way to the lock screen, sometimes it will only make it to the boot animation, and sometimes it won't get past the white HTC screen.

I've used a couple different nightly builds of CM6, with and without google apps. I've used Skyraider 1.8 and 1.9 with and without sense. I've tried "touch of photons". Same results and activity on all of them.

Last night I gave up and downgraded to unrooted 2.1 with sense...factory fresh. I reformatted my SD card with the phone, reformatted the phone storage, and I've done factory resets. It still isn't working right.

At this point, I'd be happy to get it back to pre-Unrevoked and just wait for the official OTA Froyo which is supposed to come out soon. Rooting and using a stable rom is fine with me too. I just need a phone that works consistently.

Any ideas? I'm pretty desperate.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stroupified:
sounds like you needed to return it and get a new one since it was doing random reboots from the day you bought it.

have you used any of the hydra kernels to try and OC it, the 1.15 OC would cause mine to reboot. a good stable rom that i tried was JagerRom, 1.7.4 is without sense, and chocolate is with sense. don't try the OTA one because that is for people who updated to the OTA leak and im going to assume you aren't one of thoes people. haha

hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsquared:
Thanks Stroupified...

The weird thing is that the reboot issue wasn't that big of a deal before I rooted and started flashing roms. It happened, but not enough to be a problem.

Does the camera and camcorder work on Jager?

Does anyone know if there is something that could have gotten messed up with unrevoked or the roms I tried?

Is there another downgrade method I can use? I just installed the PB31IMG.zip you can find in a few places out there...is there a known reliable source for the downgrade zip?

If I can avoid fighting with Verizon on this I'd like to. I'm obviously outside my 30 days, and I don't want to wait a week or 2 or three or more for a new incredible (if I can convince them to get me one). I'm not even sure warranty or Asurion will do anything with this kind of a problem either...I fear I'm stuck with a $500 reboot roulette machine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintrjm:
re

i have gone through 4 incredibles.

they all exhibited the same rebooting issues... completely stock with NO installed apps.

I have also tested the phones with 2 different batteries and with different sd cards and no sd cards installed.

I had done factory resets.

I get a ****ty cell connection where i live, -100 to -96 db.

Its looking more like a tower issue..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeezybaby:
I also have had a reboot issue. I rooted the phone the day I got it and installed a senseless rom. It worked perfect the 1st day then started into a downward spiral of reboots till it went into a full boot loop. I did a nandroid back up of the original rom. No real issues since. Im still rooted and have only had one random reboot in about a week that I know of. I know the first issue was because of the rom but what causes the random reboots. Is it aloss of signal? Im a noob so Im just trying to get some insight.:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Im on #2

I got my 2nd Incredible on Friday. Prior one would just get hotter and hotter (possibly due to signal issues) until it would enter a reboot loop. Hoping # 2 fares better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stroupified:
ya everything works in jager. but from what everyone else is saying it seems like it could be the signal (or lack there of) that's causing the reboots. have you tried the hybrid prl? it uses the verizon and altell towers instead of just the verizon ones. i haven't tried it because im in cali and there aren't any altell towers near me, but if your stuck with the phone you might as well give it a shot if you live in the supported areas. good luck man.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talk2nate:
If you don't have problems with signal don't bother with the hybrid prl... it kills your data speeds because it switches you from Verizon data network to Sprints data in most areas. I know in the Carolinas phones randomly reboot a lot because thats Alltel country and phones don't work properly without the hybrid. But down south its mostly Verizon. Out west Texas/Ok is mostly Alltel.

But man honestly - I have the same issue on custom roms. My stock Sense rom does fine though. Sometimes I'll be on a custom rom typing a text and the keyboard just freezes and its over. lol nandroid time to me - I can't take the reboots but hate not having the features of newer software.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintrjm:
re

i have tried the hybrid prl and it did not help my rebooting issues.

i have also tried switching to the the cdma codec to -b the higher quality compression... with no luck in fixing the reboots.

I have also made sure there was not an issue with an app causing it, i have tested mine with a clean / factory reset with absolutely no apps installed.

I have had 100% good luck with the leaked ota update, the one upped the camera to 720p recording as well as a hand full of other fixes, and not once did my incredible reboot or crash.

I'm pretty confident that htc has fixed this issue for me, once they drop the 2.2 update that everybody seems to be speculating will be released in a handful of weeks.

;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsquared:
Thanks for the input everyone, and I'm sorry others are having the same problem.

I went by my local Verizon store (actual Verizon store, not a 3rd part dealer) and told them my phone was rebooting repeatedly. They didn't even touch my phone...I was out of there in 5 minutes with a FedEx 2nd Day Air confirmation number for a new handset. And my wallet is intact also. I'm rarely impressed by Verizon's customer service, but this time...man... Between the new handset and the impending 2.2 update, I hope to be in good shape.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Me Too

Same EXACT thing happened with me and telesales. No scripts, no hard reset, no task killer; NOTHING. Said "my phone gets hot and reboots" and they said (last Thurs), let's get you a replacement overnight so you can try the new one out of the weekend. No muss, no fuss. Got here 10:30AM the next day, and my evil super-heating 4-to-13-reboot-try prone phone is going back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I don't believe towers/signal would have any effect on shutting down or booting. Basically once you're on a current PRL, you really shouldn't even have to update it. Unless you're having that poor service deal where an Alltell/Vzw hybrid would benefit you.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Obviously, root folders on external SD card, but where on the Internal? There's a media folder in there, do they belong there? Or on the root of the internal?

Basically my external card is filled with music so I need to put photos/vids on my internal card.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Kies put photos and movies under DCIM folder: movie subfolder for video; camera subfolder for photos. So, you can put your files there. It really doesn't matter too much as the Gallery app searches everywhere.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] harunjo:
According from 10/Mar 3.2 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero (now with online kitchen) - Android @ MoDaCo

i added below parameter to my /system/build.prop

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

and i can see improvement so far, but not quite sure here, i will still testing this for about 2 days from now.

do at your own risk.

please share here if you tried this paramaters before

If you download most launchers from the market you will not be able to run your sense widgets. Look in the themes forum for launchers you can push via adb. There are plenty.

I have been searching for an armband for this phone, but so far I have found nothing, that is aside from the armbands for the Iphone and N1.

Has anyone found any compatible armband for jogging with this phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
the generic armbands for iphone are compatible with SGS as well

is great, if you go out jogging often. or if you are biking.

just don't fall on the arm that got your phone if anything happens, protect the phone at all cost :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nicoloco:
For information, I had an iphone3GS with an armband from Belkin

I went for a quick run yesteray ( not even 21k :D) and treied to use it for the Galaxy

Fortunately it can be streched because the galaxy is a little bit wider .. .but that's ok

It's a little bit longer so I was worried about sweat on the headphone plug but i looked OK

I was able to use the phone through the protection screen to look at map when I was lost even it is was not super accurate
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Insin:
I have the same iphone armband from Belkin. It is a squeeze but it fits without risking damage to the phone. I prefer a tight fit because I use the band upside down so that if I stop to change playlists then the phone is orientated in the right way to read the screen text.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] waspbr:
cheers guys
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] KLoNe1:
I think I'm gonna try out one of these: http://www.xtrememac.com/Products/Sportwrap2/Sportwrap-for-iPhone-3GS---Black/
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nicoloco:
:D I hesitated to put it upside down for the same reason ( music and also for the map)

So you didn't have any problem ? I guess it's so tight that it won't move ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] simtr:
hey guys

Just to confirm, is this the Belkin one you both have? model F8Z334-BLK

(i dont seem to be able to post links..)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nicoloco:
Mine is looking like thisone :

http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=492884#
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] waspbr:
I bought the 3GS one but I thought it was too much of a tight fit, since I live in the Netherlands and I often have to put up with a bit of drizzle when I run, I was a little concerned.

Instead I found this one for the Ipod classic that might just do the trick

can't post the link due to my nooby status at this forum tho, but you can find it at the same belkin site at the ipod section
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
link? picture? or at least the name and model #?

i think something is missing :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] waspbr:
This is the only reference I could get

Part # F8Z504tt064

I haven't bought it yet though but from what I saw at the store it was a tad larger than the 3gs one

UPDATE: actually now I have been looking for armbands that may fit the evo, those seem to be a little easier to find.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
according to the sizes:

SGS i9000 (our phone) = 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm

itouch = 110 x 61.8 x x 8.5 mm

iphone4 = 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm

these armbands fits perfectly

i like this one because is made of Neoprene front and back, and it's a full screen, so good for rainy days mostly waterproof except for torrential rain, but who is crazy enough to go out in such a storm?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.41116 (double stich)

if you want a fully waterproof 100% get one of these instead

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.42413

they do work, i use it often when i go to the pool, just don't go diving with that in your arm, the sheer force will snap the armband off, no surfing either, just regular swimming is okay.

the next one up is this one

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34197 (single stich)

but the front is made out of other material, that might crack after a few years of wear and tear, that kind of plastic used in the front will harden after a while.

they have more selections and colours

http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.armband

but those are the only models i like for our SGS i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PrinterElf:
HTC Evo = 122 x 66 x 13

I just picked one up on ebay for the Evo 4G, and it fits fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Snuble:
Got the iphone 4 one from dealextreme. Its a bit short for the Galaxy S, but it works.

However, there is one thing that dont work. Who do they use as model for wearing these armbands? I don't exactly have bodybuilder biceps, but so far all straps have been a bit short. I dont think they would be long enough with a year of lifting steel...

The Belkin one for ipod classic was also a tight fit, and have the same problems as the dealextreme. A bit short, a bit small transperent area for the screen and way too short strap. Build quality far better. A Belkin armband molded on the SGS and with a bit longer straps would be great. Even better if there was some sort of secondary attachment in case the velcro failed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
wow you are the first one that thinks those straps are short

most people i've heard talk about those / reviews complais the straps are too long

LOL :D

no i don't know which side of the story is more realistic.

i was reading some here or if not on the reviews at deal extreme, the guy had to endup cutting the extra slack because it was too long. :p

i've not purchased mine yet, but i'll be buying one soon

i like the waterproof one, and i also want a regular one for normal use

[HD2 General] chrisbro77:
hi, first post here....

I've recently bought an HD2 sim free from a mate who had it as an unwanted upgrade from t-mobile... To cut a long story short it started not botting up so it went to the menders.

Now my question, if the menders come back saying its not worth mending is it worth getting another HD2 on contract ? or would I be in for the same trouble with crashes possibilty of not always working ?

the contract would either be O2, 3 or orange

cheers

chris
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Flip a coin.........thats how I make important decisions..........

Seriously though, I would suggest getting one but then Im incredibly biased because I love mine, its never given me any problems......(except ones Ive caused myself from too much tweaking)

However....... a number of people do seem dissatisfied with the HD2 for numerous reasons.... a short while reading through xda will help you make the decision.....

Some say wm 6.5 is a dying os..... I think thats a matter of opinion.....

I think this device has a lot of life left in it and will easily keep me happy until my next upgrade in just under a year, by then I think it might be time to jump ship to android...

Its basically just a case of deciding what you want and whether the HD2 can deliver that...... your in the right place though.....

Happy reading....... :D
[HD2 General] chrisbro77:
I can't fault the HD2, I loved the screen, browsing web pages and pdf's are soooo easy.

Myself I don't have a prob with wm6.5 aslong as that isn't the source of the crashes etc but I really do like SENSE so would like to keep that, either on wm or android.

I've never found it to big like alot of other people i've spoken too who've since gone to apple.

Do you know if it was a few batches that had freezing issues, certain operators or just how people used them. I just spose it was too experimental for htc on a wm o/s...

another app that i have found very useful at work is the wifi router (which o2 won't let you do if you have an iphone)

chris
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I think there must be bad batches of hd2's however I dont think that's cause for concern, if you get a new one it will be under warranty anyway.....

the choice of custom roms and sense mods available mean you'll never get tired of tweaking the thing.....

If you liked the one you had before then Id definitely recommend another........

also android is coming on leaps and bounds for the hd 2 so you've got the best of both worlds (if you like that sort of thing)

Anyone figure out a way to get the notifications volume louder? I have yet to be able to find one. I tried louder volume hack but it didnt seem to work for me.
[Droid X Android Development] eighty1:
I second this.
[Droid X Android Development] mzrdisi:
This is definitely the one thing I miss from my original Droid.
[Droid X Android Development] onelifexv:
Mine seemed fairly loud once I turned the "Alarm volume" all the way up and told it not to use the increasing volume option.
[Droid X Android Development] Syco54645:
i dont see alarm volume. either way the ear piece volume is low as is the speakerphone volume... would be nice to have a hack to increase it. if this fixes the alerts that would hold me over till a hack hits for this.
[Droid X Android Development] pima:
where is the increasing volume option.
[Droid X Android Development] onelifexv:
It's the volume check box in the alarm options.
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
first day I used droid x as an alarm i was late for work because the sound was so low

Unchecking "use increasing volume" made it better

I suggest buying one of those cheap Ipod/Iphone speaker setups they sell at walmart for like $9 and just hook up to the audio jack if you're gonna use it as an alarm
[Droid X Android Development] wanimal:

[Droid X Android Development] 87jason:
Im not seeing the increasing volume option, i see where to turn the volume up at but no increasing volume.

Ok i found the increasing volume setting. Go to your alarm clock,hit add alarm and the the increasing volume setting is just past halfway
[Droid X Android Development] vaxick:
I'd like to see a increase in the volume of the earpiece. It's a bit difficult at times to hear some people talk on phones that have microphones that are a bit on the low side.
[Droid X Android Development] mzrdisi:

[Droid X Android Development] dr154:
You have to click on the alarm that your trying to activate and its the second to last click-able option before "Done" & "Revert".
[Droid X Android Development] dvation191:
I'd love to see a volume hack. When music or ringtones are playing, I think the volume level is satisfactory but sometimes there are certain apps and movies that have lower than normal sound levels and it would be nice to temporarily boost the speaker. Maybe a speaker mod is in order, here :p
[Droid X Android Development] SteelH:
Is there a hearing impaired option in the phone settings? Some android phones have that and it increases volume. Another method is for someone to mod the kernel to accomplish this (which has been done on other phones like the EVO)
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
I know its not a hack, but the app Quick Settings allows you to control all of the volume settings individually. Its really nice.
