[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nei0angei0:
Sorry my other post got buried in QA

Hello,

I unfortunately (like many others) received my EVO with the OTA update being performed. I was excited to test flash video on my favorite website but had intermittent results. The sound would work on some videos but not others. I was wondering if some other EVO users with other roms installed could try and post their results.

The website is otaku-streamers.com

The video are in a streaming mp4 format, some work fine but other's have no audio. I have also tried many other web browsers but with no success.

Example:

1. Hajime No ippo new challenger works with video and audio synced.

2. 07 Ghost loads video but will not play sound.

When viewing the source I noticed that each Video loads from a different server. I am not sure if the server is the problem or the actually format in which the videos were encoded

Thanks,

I hadn't had flash issues til after the ota. Oddly enough
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nei0angei0:
I would be curious to see your results. I imagine they will be the same though. Please post back if you can and have time to test.

I am trying to find someone running Baked snack, Damage Control, or other rom.

Please help me :)
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Okay, so WiFi is usually better than 3G when it comes to battery life; but what about WiMax? I don't have a stable signal yet so I can't reliably test the two. What are ya'll experiences (for those within a reliable 4G area)? Better, the same, worse, or a lot worse?
[EVO 4G General] Bang3r:
I don't have reliable 4G in my area, but I notice that even turning on the wimax 4G radio dramatically drains my battery. Don't know if its becasue its constantly searching for signal or just becasue the radio is turned on. My 2 cents, but I know it's not very thorough..
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Any time you have a radio turned on and do not have a signal it will drain the battery trying to find a signal.

If you go to an area with poor 3g service, your battery will drain crazy.

They are testing 4g in my area, so it is up and down a lot, so I cannot test.

From reading other posts, I believe 4g may take slightly more battery.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
Since Froyo has been released, the 4G battery drain isn't nearly as bad as it was on 2.1. I've noticed that the speeds have substantially increased as well as better battery management as well.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Yeah, that's why I wanted to see how things are now. We all know how 4G got slammed by reviewers for killing the battery, but the new radio might have changed that. I'm just curious at how it compares to 3G now under ideal conditions (good signal).
[EVO 4G General] AvatarOfFrost:
I have full 4G coverage where I live and to be honest when 4G is on, the battery drainage difference is not much, when compared to 3G.
[EVO 4G General] pscalett:
I have 4G in my area as well, but I leave it off because it goes back and forth from being connected to not being connected. I did notice last night that my battery went from 70% to 5% over night... Anyone know what could cause that?
[EVO 4G General] naknak95:
I have the same problem. I'm in the Baltimore area and the 3G/4G switches back and forth. I figured out that when the phone isn't in 4G, it searches for a 4G connection, but you can put it to 3G only (with an app called Phone Info) until Verizon is done with their 4G coverage.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
4G uses more power than 3g, which uses more power than wifi.

4g<3g<wifi.
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
it's significantly worse on 4G, so much so that I have an extended battery and I still don't use it.
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
there is something wrong with your phone then, maybe it's not sleeping. you should be noticing a huge difference.

[Vibrant General] ytj87:
My Vibrant's touchscreen gets screwy when connected to any of my laptop's USB ports, when the lappy is either on battery or wall power.

By screwy I mean it misreads my presses, as if I pressed elsewhere on the screen. I'm in the 30 day swap period still, but I was lucky enough to get a very bright screened model and am reluctant to swap it unless this power/screen problem is to be worried about.

Have not been able to test on another computer's USB ports yet.

Thanks.

edit: Dell laptop.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Mine works fine OP when connected to both my laptop and my desktop.

Does your laptop happen to be a macbook? Because this phone has problems with apple computers.
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
No, a Dell. More specifically, this is not when mounting or using ADB. This occurs when merely connected and charging. Seems like it's a spurious signal coming down the USB line from the laptop is my guess.
[Vibrant General] Just2Sour:
I've had that unfortunate experience since day one of purchase. I went through three Vibrants.

I swapped the first one because of the touch screen bug with the USB connection. Also, the back button would periodically "stick" and continuously press back until I were to tap it again.

When I got the second one, I realized the issue with the USB remained the same and the "sticky" back button was more frequent than the first one.

The third one that I have now has a more responsive touch screen with the USB connected. It would act up 50% less than the first two. It has moments when it works just fine when I move the cable around and make sure I'm not touching the cable there on after.

My coworker doesn't experience that problem when he tries it on the work computers and my phone doesn't have that problem either. It only acts that way when I plug it into my x64 Sony VAIO, so I'm wondering if it's some sort of related issue.

Don't feel bad. I've been searching online for some sort of remedy since its release and have found nothing.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone?
[Vibrant General] Just2Sour:
I've always used the cable it came with. From reading your post, I just tried a USB with a micro USB converter tip, but it still produces the same symptoms.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I had the same problem. went to T-Mobile store (thinking I needed to get a new phone) and after a couple of tests, they gave me a new charger... that solved the issue 100%, so in my case, this was the cable/wall charger, not the phone
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ that's what I was getting at.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
try changing the charger/USB at the store for an original one (not generic micro USB) that took care of me
[Vibrant General] Just2Sour:
I swapped al of the contents every time I made the exchange. When it's plugged into an outlet with the charger/USB it comes with, it works just fine. Works fine with any x86 computers at my job. It goes crazy on my x64 desktop and laptop. It's pretty annoying when I'm working on it with Eclipse and I get text messages. It becomes a task just to swype in one word, or disconnect it as an alternative and wait for about five seconds for it to function properly again.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
well that sucks. I have x86 at work and 64 bit at home. after swaping the charger/cable, like I said, no more problems anywhere
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Wow, I never expected so many responses with the same problems. Thanks guys.

I'm using x64 Win7, so that could be it. Also, am using the stock cable, I have no other micro cables at this time. More in the mail already. I'll check on my bro's 32 bit Win7 laptop and with the aftermarket cables.

Thanks for the responses.
[Vibrant General] Just2Sour:
Any update?
[Vibrant General] bwhites1:
laptop issues

I have a HP laptop and if my vibrant is connected via stock usb cord my laptop will not boot. It doesn't get past the first HP screen and it shuts off abruptly and tries to reboot. When unplugged everything is fine as long as it is up and running. I can connect my phone and do whatever needs to be done as long as my laptop has booted up. I thought it was kinda weird. I only plug my vibrant in my laptop while tethering to charge. Anyone experience this? btw running win7 64
[Vibrant General] glendawg619:
Happens on my HP aswell but with a Droid incredible connected, must be a HP issue
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
It is because the laptop is trying to boot from one of the removable devices that show up whenever the phone is connected.
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
Sounds like a CPU preemptive latency problem. The USB port may use big time slices of the CPU during the same time the touchscreen positions are being calculated. This should be fixed with the new update.
[Vibrant General] Shagman68:
Mine did the same thing, except it did not matter what power source. When it was plugged into anything, my screen was screwy. Unplug it, and everything worked again. I exchanged mine, and have not had the problem since.
[Vibrant General] beazie0885:
Mine is that way as well, but not with the computer, its that way with one charger that I previously had with my aria. After I unplug, its fine. I read somewhere that the length of the cord might have something to do with it.
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I used to have this problem with just one miniusb charger for my G1. The problem is there's too much current. You probably have a USB port that puts out more power on AC and it's simply too much for your phone. If it's getting REALLY hot, that's a sure sign.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
for the ones with the HP computers... try changing the BIOS settings as the computer might be trying to boot from USB. Change the boot sequence priority or disable boot from USB completly, that should do the trick
[Vibrant General] tiebmbr:
so wait a second...I've had the same problem here as well, and it seems some of are you are saynig it's the PC to which it's connected, some are saying it's the cable, and some, those who have exchanged it for a new phone, say it's the Vibrant itself. Which one is it? I'm not hooked to a PC, just the wall charger, and it's not working properly. Should I try and exchange mine?

Very confused here.
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
uh, leaving bootable devices plugged into any computer that supports booting from usb can cause the machine to hang...
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
mine is affected by a 1amp HTC wall charger i just got the other day from dealextreme. the touch screen is not as sensitive / responsive when its plugged in. the OEM charger that came with the phone does not do this (but also only charges at 700mA).
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I ran into a similar issue with a 3rd party FONEGEAR wall charger. It caused the touchscreen to totally stop working. Also, the microUSB cable from a friends Motorola phone caused the same behavior. I've never had this behavior from the stock included cable however on any laptop or desktop.
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
I just received a Blackberry 700mA charger in the mail, was on sale for like $4. It has not given me problems with the touchscreen, fyi.

Still haven't had a chance to test USB on a Win 7 32 bit machine...
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Hmm... it just hit me. Why not install a bootable linux distro on the sd of the vibrant? Not sure which sd would be sought in a pc boot, but how cool would that be?
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
This may be a little trivial, but it has been driving me crazy since day one. I have posted in other forums, but not one person seems to have this issue I guess. Anyway, I was downloading an app from the market when my battery door came off. Now that app continues to try and download even though it's already installed. I've tried uninstalling, refunding and nothing works. It's always in the status bar every couple of minutes. I don't want to flash another build to get rid of it just for that reason. Anyone???
[Streak 5 General] fards:
I remember reading something about cleaning The market cache internally.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Only thing i can think of at the moment is a cache cleaner and a good history eraser. after it has fully downloaded does it try to download again or does it not fully download and i presume you have tried a reboot :)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
You must have posted mate as i was typing i use an app called History Eraser to clean the market as their is not one built in :)
[Streak 5 General] fards:
I was thinking manually using terminal..... :p
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
Got it

Never even thought of this until I read Fards post.

I have seen a few threads talk about the optical trackpad being rather sporadic because of light and other factors. However, mine seems to be overly sensitive to light or just plain broken. After i unlock the phone sometimes i basically loose control over everything until i put my finger over the trackpad. Since i never use it for anything is there a way i could disable it and only use the click function for the camera? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
The media player the phone comes with does support playlists, but it's pretty crap.

You can DL the doubleTwist media player which I use from the android market, it's much better than the Sony Ericsson one. It also you to play playlists imported via the doubleTwist desktop program (aka "iTunes for Android") which imports your existing WMP or iTunes playlists.

Or if it's all too confusing:

DL doubleTwist from the android market

DL doubleTwist for your computer

Import your existing iTunes or WMP playlists

Use doubleTwist to sync your music between your computer and phone, it even converts incompatible file types

???

Profit.

The only exception if you can make the Wildfire to have S-OFF with the XTC clip

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY THEN THE HARDWARE UNLOCKER CALLED XTC CLIP

Q: How to unroot/ remove root / remove clockworkmod ?

A: Just download your official ROM, ie RUU***.exe from shipped-roms.com and flash it.

Q:Where do I put MP3 files for notifications, ringtones and alarms?

Put your ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (if doesn't exist create)

Put your notifications to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications (if doesn't exist create)

Put your alarms to /sdcard/media/audio/alarms (if doesn't exist create)

Wildfire Weather Data

Thanks for the reply. But that's not what I expected. It's clear now that Desire takes weather data from Accuweather. I remember when I was using WM (Jade) some cities are not listed by HTC (especially the small cities), but data actually exist in the main Accuweather database. (e.g. Labuan is not listed in Wildfire but actually listed in the main Accuweather dbase). These cities can actually be added by modifying/adding to weather.xml file. I am not sure what file is used in (Android) Wildfire. Does anyone know ? and if so how to edit that file ? Thanks.

Sense Graphics are in the .APKs for sense,

You could modify them with a decompile tool and recompile the apk and theoretically put them back onto the device but you need full root and general knowledge of recompiling an app.
