[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] axisminden:
sorry,

stupid question.

after that all, i can upgrade radio or install a other Rom without delete the unlock?

greetings

michael

EDIT : I perform step 1-3, no problem., i think radio upgrade does not work, because Radio Version is 1.20Olinex.

Now i will try any other SIMcard
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] magicdave26:
No problem :)

Ok so flashing from the internal storage is a better solution for the radio :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] magicdave26:
Radio 1.20Olinex is the unlocked radio you need for Sim unlock

Once you perform sim unlock, you can flash a new radio of your choice and simlock and security lock will stay UNLOCKED
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] axisminden:
Yes, you can.

It works.

thank's a lot

I have hardware problems with my HTC touch screen sensor. When I touch sometimes in the middle or bottom of the screen, it 'thinks' that I am touching the top of the screen and opens the notification bar down. Since there is probably no way that I can fix the touch screen:

So I'm on my second Evo. The first one's speaker blew out within the first two weeks I had it, I went to Best Buy and they exchanged my black Evo for a white one, no questions asked. Now I have my white Evo, and guess what, the speaker blew out. It happens very incrementally. And what's worse is I switched from Best Buy's insurance to Sprints, and I've been told that Sprint won't replace your Evo if its speaker is blown out. Pretty lame.

So what gives? Why are these speakers going out so fast? I've seen a few reports of blown out speakers here. It's kinda' sad that such an awesome phone possesses such a bunk speaker. I'd rather have my old G1's speaker than this pathetic sack of cat ****. Lol

This is a sort of rant/question hybrid. Wasn't sure where to put it. Sorry. ;)
[EVO 4G General] rdzlyz:
wtf are you playing on your evo for it to blow it, you sound like the guy that wanted to do that "Class Action Lawsuit" just because he couldnt uninstall Amazon mp3 off his Evo because its "Hardwired in his Phone"

rediculous!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] strung:
which speaker?
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
To answer your question, I'm playing YouTube videos/listening to music. On a side note, you sir, have issues. Lulz

That'd be the external speaker on the back of the phone.
[EVO 4G General] rdzlyz:
I've been on YouTube many times, its the spot to be. My speakers are fine!!
[EVO 4G General] BrianBaker:
I have to chalk this one up as user error to happen twice so fast..I use the back speaker a lot and the only time i have issues where i think its going to blow is while useing Fring.
[EVO 4G General] DaWhip:
Mine started sounding like crap and I was really disappointed. I took off the battery cover and found pocket lint on the speaker. badabing - fixed. That speaker is small, so if anything gets on it, it will be distorted.
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
I agree for the most part, unless it is just completely coincidental that you had to bad speakers in the first place.

The reason I say this is because if you did a pole on here, I would guess that at least 97 - 99% of people have not had issues with the speaker.

But, some people do have bad luck when it comes to electronics, so you may have just gotten 2 defective phones. You should be able to call HTC and get it exchanged as long as it isnt more than 30 days old (or something like that)
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Glad that worked for ya', sadly, it hasn't worked for me. That was the first thing I checked when it started happening. My speaker isn't slightly jacked, it sounds like a fly. Like if you try and strum a guitar that still has a pick wedged on the neck between the strings. It's -really- bad.

And as for chalking it up as a user error, you could in fact be right. As I listen to some very loud, very obnoxious music. Dead Moon, Crass, and Gray Matter seem to be what really take a toll on my speaker. If listening to loud music is a crime, I am most definitely guilty.
[EVO 4G General] DaWhip:
yah, you might be better off investing is some good headphones or a little speaker dock. I could see some Gray Matter at full blast taking a toll on the evo speaker quickly.
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to do that. I have those big dj type headphones and they're not very portable, which is why I don't use them often.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:

[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
Speaker 101 (all speakers)

Distortion blows speaker, not amplitude. The trouble with that is it is hard to tell recorded distortion from speaker distortion. Add to that, even recorded distortion can fairly easily overheat the coil, resulting in a crappy sounding speaker.

I'd try for another replacement, then use only headphones... good ones.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
True. :)

...
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
O_O You learn something everyday.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson. I'm sticking to headphones from now on. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
Mrsato hit the nail on the head , if you hear distortion you should turn down to keep from hurting them.

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
+1 to this. Speaker dock or some good wired headphones coupled with an E5 amplifier. You will never listen to the speaker on the back again.
[EVO 4G General] kthorpe88:
I'm on my second speaker and it just started crackling again so back to get a 3rd one put in!
[EVO 4G General] mastermarc:
user error? Seriously, how would that even be possible. Speakers aren't supposed to blow themselves out on a PHONE.

My rear one went out after 2 weeks too. What was i doing? Nothing, i barely use my rear speaker at all.
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
Sure. Really depends on your budget and listening preference. Also, I'll leave out over the ear ones since you already have those. These are all earbud style.

On the low end, I have a pair I use when there's risk of them getting trashed, although I've had them now for about 3 years, and they're still fine - the SkullCandy Smokin' Buds. Definitely not audiofile monitors, but you can trash them and it won't make you cry - they're around $25. Since you have a white Evo, if you pay a little more, you can get a good deal more in the Maximo iMetal iM590's which buy dot com is currently selling for $42. If you want something really nice for under 100 bucks, the Sleek Audio SA1's are 80 bucks at amazon dot com. The Sleeks are fantastic, and the sound is even customizable by interchangeable parts. They look really nice too, as would be expected from the name. This is what I had until I left them on a plane. Next pair doesn't leave my night table. LOL I hear good things about the DENON AH-C560R - which is a high end headset; earbuds with a mic. Amazon has it for 97 bux.

There are better and more expensive, but I doubt you'll require that without a professional reason... and then you wouldn't be using your Evo for it.

Enjoy!
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
Bingo! I should have said that. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
You guys might be on to a legitimate problem. But I don't think it is that common.. I could be wrong. I have to say, I think the speaker is pretty darn good in terms of quality, for a phone. I had a crackberry that was louder, but certainly not as nice sounding. The volume can get pretty loud on this one too, as long as the signal is pure (no distortion).

Why would it blow? It is a software issue. Don't laugh, I'm serious. On my Touch Pro the volume level sucked on the speaker, but then I got a custom rom on it with an app to boost the volume and VOILA! It was loud. didn't sound too good, but at least I could hear. I'm sure it would have been easy to blow the speaker on that, and indeed on any phone, if you push the speaker past its intended capacity.

Like I said, the Evo's speaker gets pretty loud while still maintaining good sound quality - the best I've come across on a phone. Use the rule laid out here... turn it down to the that the distortion disappears and it won't blow. You need it louder, exercise the other options laid out here. If you blow it, exchange it, THEN exercise those options. ;)
[EVO 4G General] ShadowDrake:
I don't think you're alone in this. If you do some searching there's enough people complaining about the speaker crapping out for it to be a legit problem.

Mine has done the same thing - audio quality slowly got worse and now it crackles at even like 1/2 volume. I've never had it at max, in fact, I've explicitly avoided the highest volume settings so I wouldn't damage it. My text tones sound like crap, youtube videos, streaming music, etc etc.

It hasn't seen too crazy of usage, these speakers are just junk.
[EVO 4G General] lostinroot:):
I also have had speaker problems. It turns out that in my case small metal shavings were getting past the screen and clinging onto the speaker cone (since its a magnet)

I took it to a Sprint service store and they took the phone apart right infront of me. When the back come off so does the speakerphone. He took the speaker off the back and dusted it out and blew it out with air and I have not had a problem since .

Yall might give that a try!
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
Thank you for the in-depth retort, m'friend. I'll take a look at the Maximo iMetal iM590's you mentioned. Mediocre's more my style. :p

Yeah, I know that you can modify the kernel some to achieve different audio values. Desire has some really awesome audio files built into it. I don't know why kernel guys don't incorporate that into any of their kernels. That'd be really cool.

I really think it's the coding in the kernel that is making our speakers seem as crappy as they do. I've flashed a Desire port before and the back speaker was screaming loud whilst still maintaining clarity. Some kernel hacking could quite possibly circumvent any more speakers being blown.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
Yeah, maybe the speaker just craps out because it can't take it? If you were listening to quiet stuff then I would be perplexed. But I personally think the speaker is fairly ****ty on the phone and would much rather use headphones if actually listening to music.
[EVO 4G General] smopoim86:
Definitely not alone. My speaker is now busted and I can't hardly hear the phone ring now. I wish I could find a replacement speaker and just swap it myself.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
They are super easy to swap, replacements would be fantastic. On a side note, some of you people are the same ones that turn your stock stereos up in your car to points that makes me wonder why you even listen to music, there is more distortion than sound coming out. You just deserve to have it break on you.
[EVO 4G General] chile62:
Mine went out too after 6 weeks of very, very light use.

I have ordered some replacement speakers for other phones that look similar to the Evo speaker for trial and error.

Will report back, when I find the one that fits perfectly.

I wanted to share this link from Lifehacker with anybody interested in getting a car mount for their HD2 but not wanting to spending $25+ plus.

http://lifehacker.com/5593245/build-a-custom-phone-car-mount-for-under-10

I tried this out but substituted a dash mount for a windshield mount. I got a cheap hardcover case and the universal Garmin mount from eBay. Both items were less than $3 and I got them with free shipping. I also had to buy some super glue since I didn't have any, I just got a small tube of it for $1.50 from Target.

It's worked like a charm so far. I will say that the case I got is a bit tight so my phone doesn't pop out of the mount as easily as the example shown.

Cheers! :)

You have to wipe first, then flash. It could be a confilict between the lib files and the kernel. Try a different kernel first, it will most likely have the lib file already in the update.zip but if it's just a boot.img then you will have to push the lib file for that kernel.
