I think I'm just gonna return the vibrant and use my hd2 until my contract ends in a couple months and then possibly buy the vibrant off contract. Perhaps by then they'll have actually bothered fixing the gps although I'm not holding my breath...

The only thing I don't understand is on the even more + plans it seems data is $20 a month in the bundle. Is this true for android phones as well? Or is there some special android data plan designated to milk us for more money?
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
just get EM+

if u get the talk text web package it's included.

or else it's $25.00 addon

;)
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
Thanks, I think I can live without data for a month so I guess I'll switch to that plan when my contract's up. I may just use google voice for text since I don't even use it that often.
[Vibrant General] Genesis3:
I was on grandfathered "Total Internet" and it worked for about three hours. Then I got IMEI intercepted. ****ers.

Anyway, called and raised hell, they switch the data to the Loyalty Android. Same price. I then went back to the HD2 and it didn't lock me even after several hours, so it appears that with Android Data you can switch between it and Windows Mobile, but with the old "Total Internet" you CANNOT use Android handsets.

Pretty stupid if you ask me, and I told them so, since there IS a $20 option that Loyalty can put on the account (if you qual for it, and if you have grandfathered data they should not object, since there's no reason for you to pay more and GET LESS.)
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
Interesting. And what would the qualifications for that plan be?
[Vibrant General] Genesis3:
If you don't have Total Internet, you probably can't get swapped over. Total Internet was their old $20 unlimited (TRULY unlimited, not throttled) data plan.

I've been with T-Mo since it was Voicestream, and had Total Internet on my old Nokia 6161... with which I tethered! They did not want to see me leave, and I was quite willing to go to Sprint if I had to. It helped that I am off contract.
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
Damn. I've only been with with tmobile since 2007. Right around the same time at&t's network began bucking under the weight of the iphones really.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Like I said: try calling customer loyalty / retention. I've been with T-Mo for nearly a decade, and they switched me to the $20 'Unlimited*' Android plan, from my $5/mo T-Zones.

*Plan is not actually Unlimited -- 3G Data is capped at 10GB. Upon reaching 10GB cap, said customer is dropped to EDGE.
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
Considering you were with them for so long it would make sense for them to give you that deal but I only got about 3 years under my belt with them. Aw well, I'll give it another try anyways. Couldn't hurt right?
[Vibrant General] ayoraider07:
I've been with t-mobile for 3 months now...month to month everything plus plan. put my sim card in an old phone, added $10 web2go plan, swapped sim into vibrant, instantly needed to upgrade my data plan, I called t-mobile, when asked to say what I needed help with, I said 'cancel services', once I connected to a rep I told him I just added $10 plan, and now my vibrant wants me to upgrade again, he told me $10 more per month, so $20 data plan, now all is good, pretty simple
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
sounds good, will try :D
[Vibrant General] pepperonihead:
I went through customer loyalty. They gave me unlimited talk for $49.95 plus unlimited web and text for $35.00. That's $20 for unlimited web and $14.95 for unlimited texting. I quess that's a good deal. If not some one tell me! LOL! So I can call them again and haggle!
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Nope. That's the best deal you will get from them. I opted out of texting to save some money, since Google Voice is free.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aldostasky:
Hi there,

couple of weeks back my unrooted, unmolested G1 switched off, so when i switched it back on it just goes into boot loop with the TMOBILE G1 screen.

Pressing Home and power does the same, however pressing camera and power gets me to boot loader.

I have formatted my SD card to FAT 32 and copied two different DREAIMG.NBH files onto the card but whenever it boots to boot loader i just get "no image file"

can anyone assist - i'm not even fussed about rooting the phone, i'd just like to be able to get it back to factory default! :o

cheers

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] my_dynamite:
Dear TP2 users,

During a call which is longer than 10 minutes, my partner suddenly can't hear me anymore because of a drastic falling volume (described by the partner as i would move away from the phone). After 5 to 10 seconds the volume ist back and i can be heared again. After 10 - 20 minutes it starts again. I suppose that it's a hardwareproblem: I recently flashed a custom ROM but the problem didn't dissappear. Does anyone know that problem? Please notice: The problem occurs during every phonecall and with good reception, so it isn't a reception problem.

My phone:

Radio: 4.49.25.17

ROM: ES+L Rhodium Rom GER

Manila Vers: 2.5.20121225.2

OS: 5.2.21905

Hello !

Is it possible to use an ext3 partition which size is greater than 512 MB ? Thanks by advance.
[Desire General] MattCB72:
Yes, but you can't create a ext3 bigger than 512 MByte with the ROM-Manager. Use AmonRA Recovery or Linux (gparted) to create a ext3 partition at the end of the SD (FAT32, ext3).
[Desire General] lambrospower:
yes you can.....i currently have 1gb...and believe me you won't need any more than that even in 2 years....

i recommend you to use the gparted for formatting the sdcard

[Galaxy Spica General] Anden1986:
Hi everybody! :D

Completely new to Android so please have a little patience... ;)

I am having a lot of trouble with this piece of c**p software - Kies! :( I installed it on my XP SP3 laptop without any trouble but when I start it the program tells me that I need to install .NET Framework 2.0? I have already installed 4.0 and removed all previous versions before that so that sounds kinda strange to me... Well okay I uninstall 4.0 and install 2.0 SP1 instead - When I start the program then it tells me that it failed to launch main stage! Okay I uninstall 2.0 and install 3.5 instead just to give it a go... But nope still nothing!

Now I am getting frustrated so I uninstall .NET framework completely and uninstall Kies. Then I install Kies again without Framework and it aparently tries to install it by itself... Only to give me the error that the file "xnet_framework_3.5" is not a Win32 file?! WT*?!! :S

When that didn't work either I tried to install ALL the .NET framework's and Kies again - One by one! So 2.0 + Kies, no result - Uninstall all! Then 3.0 + Kies, no result - Uninstall! ...And so on! I have also tried to have ALL the .NET applications installed at the same time and then install Kies - Still no luck!! :'(

What am I missing here guys? I would really like to use this software since it looks like it has a lot of neat options... But I can't get it to work! Have tried for 3 days now and the only option I see left is a reformat of my hdd... And I don't wanna go down that road :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzmatEQ:
I'm curious if others are seeing their EVO reboot with random use. It doesn't seem to be related to one specific application although it is hard to say if a background app is the cause. I will be using navigation or an Internet-based app, then the screen goes black and the phone reboots.

I originally thought it was due to rooting, but I'm seeing it on different ROMs. I've wiped the cache and data when flashing the new ROMs and I've tried running with limited apps loaded with my recent move to the OMJ ROM. Everything actually runs great with the exception of the reboots.

I'm posting the issue here since it doesn't seem to be ROM specific and I'm curious if it may be hardware related. Is there a tool that would allow me to easily catch a log of the potential error to seek further help? A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Likeableguy:
I'm running stock 2.2 no root, and with gps on my phone reboots in the middle of 911 calls. (Thank God I wasn't calling about an immediate emergency) but it happened twice, once when I called and the other when they called me back. After turning off GPS, it worked fine. I thought this was a bug in 2.1 before update1, I didn't receive the problem until the 2.2 update.

adb logcat might see an error, but I'm not really sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidboyd:
Seeing it here. Not Rom or application specific.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnychimpo:
try a factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzmatEQ:
That's scary news about the reboots during 911 calls. I can't say that I tested that as a trigger for the reboot and I hope I don't have to in the near future. However, it makes me curious if it is related to the phone's interaction with the Sprint network. In your case your 911 call may have been a direct trigger whereas my reboots are seem indirect while I'm using my data plan.

One reason for my reboot was due to me getting the Error Code 67 "Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect" when trying to tether (USB or hotspot). Rooting allowed me to tether using 3rd party apps, but there may be the underlying problem with my account.

I also should have mentioned that the reboots happen with GPS on as well as off. I typically have it off to save battery life. I've also done factory resets each time I've changed or updated my ROM.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions so far. I'll try logcat and continue to monitor the forum for advice. I'll also post back any answers I may find elsewhere.

Thanks again.

I had a reboot tonite, phone was just sitting on table off charger about 90% battery, and I heard the Sprint screen come on looked down and noticed phone was booting up....no idea why first time I've noticed this.

Stock froyo no root...unfortunately :'(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzmatEQ:
Correction... I meant to say that the reason I rooted (not rebooted) was to get tethering without running into the Error Code 67. I tried the various solutions posted for the Error Code 67, but nothing seemed to work. But I'm curious if this may be part of the underlying issue if my device reboots based on a faulty account configuration when using some aspect of the Sprint network.

I had reboots only when using Undervolted kernels.

Seemed to be triggered by GPS + Phone call.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomerobot:
Yes, I was also having this problem. Definitely GPS related. Usually it would happen only if I was using the GPS for a long amount of time (navigating) - so I imagine it may be conflicting with cellular data if I received a txt while navigating or something. Who knows.

It was driving me crazy because A. I got lost and B. It started rebooting constantly and would randomly get caught in a boot-loop. I even had the problem after wiping EVERYTHING (even my SD) and reinstalling various ROMs (I tried 5 different ones).

The only solution I found in the end was to find the latest radio and wimax updates, wipe, re-install those - and then install the ROM again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzmatEQ:
GPS may be a symptom, but not a cause for me since I typically have GPS off. I find that it typically happens when I'm using a networked based app, like the web browser. Following your post I turned on the GPS, started the navigation app and found that my EVO rebooted after the same amount of time I was experiencing with GPS off.

The more I think about it, it does feel like I just assume that it will reboot after a certain amount of time passes (regardless of app). GPS and Internet are two uses where I will have the screen on for more than just checking email and etc.

Your reply gave me hope and I wiped, reset and reinstalled today. All seemed well and then... auto-reboot. This is driving me nuts. I'm seriously considering reverting back to stock to see if that stops it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidboyd:
Don't go back to stock. I did and it did not fix the rebooting problem. Now I have the rebooting problem and don't have root anymore. Out of the frying can and into the fire.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
What's funny is that my phone went through a few days where it would randomly reboot, and this was before I rooted. When it rebooted for the second time in a meeting, I pulled the battery, and didn't put it back in until the meeting was over a few hours later. Don't know if that did anything, but it hasn't rebooted on its own since.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glaex:
Having same issue and my theory is that its sd card related in my case at least... I think it might have to do with froyo netarchy based kernals found in most of the newer froyo roms combined with a slow sd card. (on hardware rev 2)... try flashing a 2.1 rom like fresh 1 or one of the 2.2 roms with an htc based kernal like the am evolution or cyanogen with snap5 or 7.11 (onyl 7based kernal ive tried so far, was panicking because i thought my evo was wrecked). those have both worked for me and i had that issue with 1.3 baked snack, fresh 3, evio and damage control. got random reboots when phone is totally idle, in use, charging or not. evio runs super smooth but the restarts...)

edit for spelling and update roms that gave me the reboot issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kollock:
+1 for random reboots here... it is CERTAINLY more prevalent during GPS use, but I've gotten it without.

Fresh 3 + King BFS#4 got me in a bootloop requiring wipe reflash, standard baked snack 1.5+whatever kernel it comes with has been doing it.

I dig the battery life I was getting... but if undervolting is causing this... ugh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgiotta:
I'm also getting the boot loop problem. Stock 2.2, all updates.

I've even done the hard reset.. twice!

I tried to follow it with LogCat, but reboot disconnects adb. I was thinking it was the SprintZone app. The P.O.S. app is doing all sorts of non-sense while booting, but eventually it'll reboot around the 11th time and freeze at the "htc EVO 4G" screen.

Random Reboots

Thanks for all the input and I'm sorry to hear that I'm not alone, but it is a bit comforting to know I'm not the only one that is frustrated.

I took gleax's advice and I dropped down to the stock 2.1 release found in the thread number 715915. (Sorry, the forum won't let me paste the link.)

I did the required wipes prior to installing the new ROM and I'm still seeing reboots. I now see the OTA update for Android 2.2 and I'm tempted to accept, then send the phone back to Sprint in the even this is a hardware issue. I'd prefer not to, but there doesn't seem to be a way to identify the issue and work towards a resolution. I've tried logcat, but the log seems to start clean after each reboot. That being the case, I don't know how to capture the log leading up to the reboot that would help identify the issue. Any suggestions on a logging tool and where to post to help several of us that are seeing this issue?

Gleax suggested this is may be SD related, so I bought a class 4 card in addition to dropping down to 2.1. I'll give that a shot and try another clean 2.1 install. I'll post the results here in the event they may help others. I'll likely give it a week before unrooting and seeking help from Sprint. I really need a usable device more than I need root access (although both would be ideal).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbadass:
I had this problem on a very regular basis when I was running OTA 1.32, 2.1 android.. but since I rooted and went to SteelH's stock 2.2, no issues at all. Updated radios when I did that as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kollock:
Hrm, I may have to try flashing to a stock build for awhile... it'll KILL me, but even fully wiping, new radios, cyanogen, still get crazy reboots.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzmatEQ:
I tried SteelH's stock 2.2 as recommended by drbadass and didn't have any luck. Overall I've tried several ROMs including Cyanogen, OMJ, SteelH's stock (and the odexed stock it was based off), Ava, DamageControl and possibly another one or two that have escaped my memory. I've also tried different radio and WiMax versions on a couple of them. Nada... nothing... kaput! I was getting reboots, boot screen freezes and cycling of the Sprint intro. It got so bad that I spent over two hours straight of starting the phone, watching it freeze or loop, pulling the battery, replacing the battery and then starting again.

The only thing that really helped it boot was if I left the battery out for a long period of time before trying again. And even then, I would have to wait for the phone to load and go into sleep mode before touching it. I'm no electrical engineer, but when you combine the fact that the reboots would occur at almost a predictable time of screen use with the need for the power to be removed for a long period... it seems like there may be some build up of juice that needs to be dissipated. And my issue may be unique since, unlike some others, the issue occurred with with GPS off. That being said, constant screen use related to having GPS on would trigger the reboot at about the same duration as web browsing or any other activity involving the screen. Using the phone as just a phone was never an issue since the screen is primarily off during the call.

Considering the number of variables I tried without any positive results, I unrooted and took the phone into Sprint. They did a complete restore, handed the phone to me and I got it boot looping before I could finish entering my account information. This helped confirm that it may be hardware related. I lost a lot of sleep trying to get this working and I lost root, but hopefully I'll gain a usable phone by the end of all this. Now I just have to wait for a back-ordered replacement.

For what it is worth, the best results I found actually came from the 1.47 rooted stock. The issue was still present, but the the reboot hit much later than the Froyo (netarchy and non-netarchy kernal-based) ROMs. I'll keep monitoring the thread in case I can help others in any way. Given my luck I might be back seeking help for the same issue on my replacement phone. :o
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crbeezy:
has anyone found a resolution for this issue because im on my second evo and am a hair away from throwing this phone in the nearest lake. ive went through every variable that ive read from various threads to try and isolate the problem all to no avail. im stock froyo and ive hard reset on numerous occasions. ran with no new apps to very few apps to a boatload of apps. ran with gps, without gps, sdcard, no sdcard, etc. been to the sprint store on several occasions only to get the usual scripted response so who knows if its an actual issue with the phone. next visit will probably result in another replacement (hopefully from the 002 batch, havent tried that yet), but if i can bypass all that certainly would be happy. any help or additional troubleshooting ideas are appreciated.
