Notification problem

Is anyone having issues with notifications? When I click on an email notification it is not opening the email or even other applications like it should. Usually the notification bar will slide up and the app is there. In my case when I select the notification the app opens behind the notifications and i have to slide it up to see the app. Also when I select the notification for email, the email seems to be already read after having to get rid of the notification window(usually it should stay bold)
[EVO 4G Android Development] noregretzzzz:
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any important changes with this update besides the removal and updated versions of the apps? I had already did the changes to most of these apps before the update and don't really want to mess with them again unless its crucial.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
I have not flashed this update specifically because I already had updated everything and this doesn't seem to change anything else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] T Mac:
Sorry if this has been asked....but, I am not able to dial *2. It force closes and refreshes my network connection when I do. Not that I do this very often, but does anyone know what needs to be done to fix this? I thought it had to do with some HTC field apk or something. Any help???
[EVO 4G Android Development] izzystylez:
is there another way to get the PRI: 1.40_003 update without doing OTA? i am connected on boost mobile and not on the sprint network
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Read the release notes for 3.1.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Not without RUU'ing your phone (and thereby losing root - but that may still not even do it)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
Just tested this after seeing your post (havent tried sending an MMS since I downloaded the most recent update). I can confirm that I can both send and receive picture messages with Freshs latest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
I agree. I beleive it will still show "clearing cache", but you can confirm it is complete if the progression bar is gone, or if you can do something else in recovery.

I would recommend ensuring that the progression bar is 100% done before trying to do anything. I had a co worker prematurely hit restart when the prgression bar was still moving along and it screwed up his update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] T Mac:
...or, in other words, just install the sprint_promotion.apk in the fresh removed apks folder on your sd card.

Thanks. I forgot to look in the last rom for the fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
search for the smoothsense one. its a great overhaul of icons in the notification bar
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
I assume you are talking about the vanilla lockscreen. Use Fresh Updater to install. Since you asked about the lockscreen, Im assuming you didnt read the first post or search. In that case, if you use this lockscreen and want to use your alarm, download one of the "Vanilla Lock+Vanilla Clock" tweaks. Otherwise you wont be able to shut off your alarm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
It's Good

I was running Netarchys v4.1.7 and switched to Baked Kernel #5 (Battery) and I can confirm that I am DEFINITELY getting better battery life and better overall performance. No sluggishness like I was getting. Perfect combo for the EVO 4G IMO right now is Baked Kernel #5 and Fresh ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
I may need to try that Kernel. Netarchy's kernel just isn't doing it for me like it used to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
You won't be sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
I have been using netachy's 4.1.8 BFS for fresh for since first day it was out, and it's been great. I am averaging 30 hours on the battery and it's really fast. Everything works on the phone from tethering to camera.

It's the best rom out so far. And I have tested them all, and I mean all.

I fully believe in Nandroid.....

Now if we could only get some of the themes to be on the fresh updater.

Would any kind soul please share HTC Peep apk ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rmoore3d:
Broken Nandroid

This probably not related to Fresh but I am running 3.1.0.2. I have lost my ability to make or restore nandroid backups. In clockworkmod it seems to complete the backup but hangs on generating Md5 sum. RA recovery does not give the same feedback but never completes either. I also cannot restore any previous nadroid backups because the md5 sum fails. Does anyone have a clue what to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
I will be the first to call bull crap on that. The only way you are getting 30 hours of battery is if you never turn the screen on. I bet your screen on time is 1 hour. Not even computers can come close to that. Show some screen shots. I just dont see why people feel they need to lie about their battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cache22:
:confused:

I haven't done a full test of my battery down to zero with 2.2 yet, but after a normal day (unplugged at 5:30AM, plugged in at 10PM) I range from 40-65% battery left. And I do get worse (about half) the battery so far with the current ROM/kernel I am running than I did before, but I could easily plug in while at work and the car so not really too worried about that. This is with fairly frequent use (although not much videos or games) and a variety of apps doing regular background syncs, I don't see how 30 hours would be unreasonable. With SetCPU and Android 2.1, I could easily hit 30 hours with plenty of active use.

Now, if I turned the 4G radio on, then it does go through battery really fast, although if I am going to use 4G, I just plug in anyway. I also keep the brightness set to auto, no bluetooth, etc, so I'm sure that all factors in, but my point is calling BS on a reasonable claim of 30 hours of battery is a bit rash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluefire808:
Does HDMI out work on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] onlypirc:
Never mind

Never mind, I'm stupid... I pulled it right out of the ROM zip... works fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
As a software engineer I can tell you the only way to get 30 hours out of a 1ghz processor on a small batter with such a large screen is to never use it. Now yes if you turn sync off and hardly look at the screen you can get 30 hours but that kinda defeats the purpose of a smart phone. If 30 hours of using a 1ghz smart phone was possible my macbook pro would be lasting a lot longer than 2 hours. I sync emails, browse, listen to music, and play games and the most I have gotten is 12 hours. If you took a poll anyone that actually uses their smart phone as a smart phone would say the same. Just to make my point my old Nokia that could only make calls only lasted 2days.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
Great post abkrieger. Its because of those tips i may get 10 hours. If your getting 30 hours show us the screen shots. If you dont have any get a app and in 20 hours show us what you got so far. I really just get pissed about people talking about 30 hour battery life on a evo. If you really are getting 30 hours please share your setup so i can to. I have tested batteries on 3 different evos, and the max i have gotten with Moderate usage is 12 hours. And that was pushing it till it died. Really if you could get a battery to go as far as 30 hours with usage do you think they would sell the phone saying it only got a few hours. Also wouldnt laptops batteries be good by now. But guess what its not.

Sorry guys i had to vent. I will take the Douche bag award tonight but people saying crap like that pisses me off. Cause now every 14 year old is going to ask why dont i get 30 hours using kings #4 kernel.

My batter tip.

The evo sucks with batteries. So carry a spare in your wallet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbie2369:
I am currently using the vanilla lock screen and when I get a phone call it reverts to the HTC lock screen for the ignore instead of vanilla lock. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
I get the same thing. Xda app is being weird tonight. It's not posting right
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cache22:
To clarify, I don't have sync turned off or anything else that detracts from my ability to use the phone or any application I have installed, and I do look at the screen quite often (and have always had it set for a 10 minute idle timeout as well). The main thing I mentioned I keep turned off normally to save power is the 4G radio unless I need faster data transfer for something (or tethered) or I am plugged in ... which has nothing to do with disabling sync or any other smartphone feature, other than I'll get 1.5mbit instead of 10mbit data speeds if I'm not at home or work where it connects via wifi.

However, I don't actively use it for 20/30/etc hours straight either ... the hours of battery life that me and others refer to is time between charging including standby (where my phone is still background syncing), not cumulative time actively used. So sure, there may be a few 2 hour gaps where it is in standby running at 245MHz and only background syncing. But I use it quite often for a variety of tasks, although my use is going to be unique to what I do with the phone, and I'm sure if I use it for games I would be plugging in more often. Again my point is, it isn't unreasonable that someone can get 30 hours between charges ... it's also not unreasonable that another person can only get 8 hours. I'm sure if I had a twitter client running and syncing, I would also lose some time between charges as well. There are countless other variables in play as well depending on the user and what they do with the phone. Just don't claim someone is full of BS and must not be really using their phone because they can go 30 hours without plugging in.

It can't be compared to any PC either, my laptop barely gets 2 hours if I run on battery, but that's powering a quad core i7 CPU, 500MHz GPU w/800MHz memory, fans, etc. There's a huge difference between a more complex Intel CPU and a lower speed, lower power, and reduced instruction set CPU found in phones. There is also a huge difference in the workload put on the hardware, so it really can't be compared. As powerful as the Evo is as a smartphone, relative to a laptop, it's a low powered slow device with limited hardware. There is a reason my laptop runs off of a 120W power supply vs a 5W charger for the Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newbie2369:
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
Ok let me refrain. If I use my phone like Nokia in the year 2000 I could probably get 20 hours. Only making a few calls. Was texting out in year 2000? I wouldnt be able to send a mms then right. But that defeats the purpose of the evo. But there is no point of flaming you got 30 hours using nets new kernel. Why are u even rooted to use a phone like that. I dare u to use wireless tether at some point during the day or Pandora even and tell me you get 30 hours. I will call a big bs on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cache22:
Nah, we reserve the Douchebag awards to whoever posts the same question 5 times that was clearly addressed in the first post and release notes! :D

I think we agree more than it seems, and I wasn't very clear earlier that I know depending on many variables, whatever battery life i get is going to vary daily, and on some days really suck. (Today was an example, I had to wait for an hour for an appointment in an area with almost no 3G signal, and the extra drain from the data connection was noticeable. If I was in that environment every day, I would definitely be plugged in much more often to charge.) The only way to really compare would be to fully log and detail every application (foreground and background), time used, signal strength, connection types, etc, and I think we could replicate some consistency. But that would be a purely academic exercise and not actually solve anything (unless it caught a bug in an application causing it to go nuts with CPU or data).

In the end, it's a great device that can perform such a wide variety of functions, and first and foremost should be used not to try to mimic what the masses want, but instead be used for what the individual wants. I know we definitely agree on that point!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
I'll show u what doesn't get 30 hours
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordtigger:
OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU! I've asked 4 times in here about how to get the tweak update url. Finally the info I need, you're my hero :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
That info has been on post number 1 the whole time

Man it really is my night to flame people.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigheadwillie:
I flashed fresh for the first time today. i have always used stock rooted or baked snack roms.

Im having a problem get the voice mail update, or anything at all for that matter, to show up under theme updates.

I booted to amon ra recovery and wiped everything: data, cache, dalvik, etc I flashed fresh and rebooted. Upon reboot i went into the fresh updater set the them update server, then searched for updates under tweaks. At that time i saw a list of updates including the voicemail update.

I decided i wanted to stick with a havs kernel, so i downloaded baked snack #5 kernel released yesterday i believe. So i booted to recovery, wiped everything again and flashed the kernel over fresh, then i also flashed the streaming sound quality fix from hero. Once i got booted up i set up the theme update server again in the fresh updater, but now when i search fortweak updates it says no updates found. I tried rebooting the phone once, but it didnt help. any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
Probably not fun bit you might need to wipe and reflash. Have you tried deleting the update server and then reconfig?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigheadwillie:
I just deleted the server and readded it by clicking on "Update featured theme servers". This did not fix my problem. Thanks for the quick response though.

Im going to bed for the night its almost midnight here. I'll try wiping it tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
I just updated my rom from the previous flipz version to the newest and I have only 1 problem my phone book is screwed up.. when I try to access my contacts it unexpectedly crashes and forces close.. this is a huge problem for me since this is my work phone any help would be greatly appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
this is the exact error message I am getting

The application people (process com.android.htccontacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

PLEASE HELP!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
Did you wipe
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
No I did not wipe.. the last 3 fresh updates I did not need to perform a wipe in order to install without problems

this problem only started to happen when I upgraded to the newest version of fresh like an hour ago
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlee0921:
there's a fix for it. under tweaks in the fresh updater
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluefire808:
I know this sounds sad but i dont know how to get my HDMI working. I plugged both ends in and i had no promps and the tv never got a signal. Can some one help me out, thank you in advance :)

EDIT -it some how worked after putting kings #5 kernel. Just promps and works. I know CM6 is working to get there rom so it shows everything o the screen through HDMI ( how screen and all ). Is anything likw that in the works for this rom and or are there other roms that do this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thlayli:
Can you provide a quick guide to the process? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
My HDMI worked fine on all of Fresh Roms. Once you have one end plugged into your TV and one into your phone, you should get a notification in your notification bar at the top of your phone.

Good to know it works on Kings #5, Im flashing that one now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
can someone help me with the problem I am having I dont know what to do and it is becoming more and more serious since I can not use my phone book to make calls and I have no idea who is calling me with the incoming calls
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onelife511:
I would do a full wipe of all 3 and reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
I would do the same as above ^ first. If that doesnt work, trying going into settings-applications-manage appliactions-contacts storage and clear cache to see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tnnm:
So I flashed BakedBattery (#5) last night and admittedly, it has been less than 24 hours but I'm not noticing any measurable improvements over netarchy 4.1.7

Battery life appears the same and I'm not seeing snappier performance. You are right though, I'm not sorry - it works just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
INCORRECT!

The release notes for 3.1.0.1 clearly say to wipe (and WHY)

http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-evo-3101/

Sooooooo.... wipe, and see if you still have a problem.

As Flipz says here http://geekfor.me/faq/why-you-shouldnt-be-using/
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
I did the full wipe as suggested and my problems were fixed.. thank you for the what should have been obvious advice and now I know for next time

New Question: is it possible to delete the apk's for things I never use such as friendstream and peep?
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Yup! Just go to Settings>Applications and Uninstall them. I do that too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
I tried that and it will not let me uninstall the preloaded sprint stuff.. am I missing something here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I personally like doing it through the cli but other people use titanium. You can use strong just remember to turn on root and mount read/write
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
ok great thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
ok now I have a new problem.. I obviously deleted an apk that I should not have because when I restarted my phone now it hangs on the fresh loading screen and will not boot into the OS

I am pretty nervous that I just bricked my phone what can I do to get out of this loading screen or at least try and restore the apks that I just deleted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
There is no way you can brick your phone by putting on a custom Rom. Wipe and reflash and you're ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
I accidentally deleted an apk that is needed for fresh to boot now it just hangs on the fresh boot screen and will not load.. is there anyway I can replace this without having to reload the rom again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
restore from either a nand restore or boot into recovery and reflash. You'll lose everything you customized but I'm "sure" you have a TI backup for all your apps and data (right)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
You should just be able to reflash the latest version of fresh without wiping anything. That will reinstall the APK. Or if you know the name of the APK, you can boot into recovery and use ADB to copy the APK over from the ROM's zip file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
thanks for the help.. I just did a clean wipe

wow a lot of hard lessons learned today hehe :mad::(
[EVO 4G Android Development] iTouch24:
there was no need to wipe .. all u had to do was flash the latest FRESH rom and u would of been good .. it would of kept all your apps intact .. the only thing u would of lost was any skinning themes u installed .. but not any apps u had installed...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Anyone know what apks I have to uninstall to get weather out of "accounts and sync?" Also, is uninstalling these apps through TI enough, or should I also navigate to system/apps and delete the apks (if they're even there anymore. lol)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingKash420:
you are indeed correct unfortunately by the time I realized that info it was too late.. like I said hard lessons learned but the system is running very very well now that I learned how to delete all the unnecessary widgets and apps that sprint was forcing me to keep

after 4 months of ownership of the evo and at least 10 custom roms I finally have one that feels right
[EVO 4G Android Development] nickdiehl:
can some one help me out here iv flashed 3.1.0.2 and updated the radio and wimax everything is working good except for the 4G i think its because the new wimax is not flashing. iv tryed everything i know and the wimax ver is still 25043 any help thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Try deleting the tree.xml from system/miscellaneous/wimax via an explorer then rebooting so it regenerates. Assuming your wimax wasn't already screwed up from something like unrevoked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nickdiehl:
tryed that also tryed to flash older versions but wimax_mtd still says 25043 idk what the deal is :( .. oh and iv never used unrevoked im rooted toasts way and used adb to flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] mgriffin13:
Like what seems like a lot of others, I'm having issues with my 4G connection after flashing 3.1.0.2.

A strange behavior I've noticed is that when I reboot the phone, 4G comes on automatically (regardless of its state when the phone powered off). It connects, but no traffic is actually passed through.

I've flashed the newest 26023R01 wimax image, but no joy. Has anyone been able to figure out why the 4Gs are broken?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
My 4G starts at boot, but I'm getting data with it, albeit slower. Upon Froyo OTA I was routinely getting 6mb/s, and now I'm in the sad 2.8s
[EVO 4G Android Development] mgriffin13:
On a fresh reboot, i attempt the following command:

adb shell ping google.com and get the following in return: connect: unknown host google.com

if I, instead, type: adb shell ping 72.14.204.147 (Google's IP), I get connect: Network is unreachable

I have looked and verified that my MAC address is correct, I have reflashed both the newest radio and wimax versions (2.15.00.07.28 && 26023_R01) and completed the guide found here

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darian89:
I got a problem, Im running the latest fresh and my phone isnt recognizing my sd card, need help...any suggestions
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Can someone please help me out. Everytime I reboot my phone I find that either I have several icons and widgets overlapping one another, all icons missing leaving just the widgets or nothing at all on the 7 screens...just an empty wallpaper.

When I installed the rom I wiped everything. So I doubt that could be the problem. I'm also not using another launcher just the one that came with the rom itself.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to fix this?

Who Cut My Batteries Wrists? I'm running latest Fresh with [Kernel]netarchy-toastmod, Current Version: 4.1.8 BFS version what settings should i use on setcpu to get some life back in it? or is it setcpu causing it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
same here...using setcpu with very tight profiles and batt life is half of what it was on stock 2.1 ROM w/setcpu ondemand only. dunno what's up. set to "CDMA only" in both configs. usage patterns pretty much identical.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
sorry, i just dont buy it. it's something else. my battery life is literally 50% of what it was before. it went from 1 day 5 hours to 16.5 hours - completely absurd.

there are lots of reports about gTalk being the cause of rapid battery drain since Froyo enabled auto-signin or something. people are seeing massive improvements with it turned off.

i'm gonna try disabling gTalk auto-sign-in and report tomorrow night.
