has anyone else encountered this problem? any advice would be grateful

p.s i had used the CHT lockscreen which enabled me to set different backgrounds for the lock screen and start menu fyi
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
re previous entry after hours playing around wd the phone with very limited access somehow i managed to install a lockscreen via resco file explorer so i got my phone working back to normal..question is why did this happen& where is my default lockscreen? i have the same issue with my slider i have a slider cab installed when i remove it, it doesnt revert back to default??
[Touch Cruise General] deukalion:
First of, I have a problem getting into the bootloader as I've said in my post: forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=759279

I've been using Kostas244's ROM -> www . forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=554071 for a few months now, no problems until now.

What happened: The touchscreen began to not respond to my input, slowly and gradually for a few days. I clicked on a few things, something else was triggered. So I figured I only had to reboot the phone. Now I can't get even use my phone.

My phone activies: Calls, SMS, Alarm, Play Solitaire, Taking Photos. That's about it. Nothing else.

Now I can't seem to enter the bootloader (Camera Hold + Power) during startup, can't get into the system cause the slider reacts just once and then it hungs up. Freezes for a while, then after I shut down the screen and turn it on again it simply does not respond at all.

First time I could enter my security code, but then I couldn't enter my PIN code so I took out my SIM CARD - then I couldn't enter my security code and nothing seems to be working.

Right now my phone ask me to enter a code due to "several bad atempts to get into the phone" and I could only press q (whatever I would input, it simply gave me a q and then nothing) and that doesn't do me any good.

Just a few minutes ago I tried forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 on the thread ( xdaforums.com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 ) who seemed to have a similiar problem as mine - the touchscreen isn't working.

But I don't have Windows XP (if that's the case it's not working) and the guides seems to point that it has to be in RGB mode (bootloader) and that is not working either.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions I could try? This just happened out of the blue, I hadn't done anything with the phone for a whole day and it just began acting like this. No damage to the phone has been made or anything out of the ordinary. So it sounds like a software problem, but I can't seem to get past it.

I use Linux 64 and Windows 7 64 if there's solution to connect to the device on either Operating Systems.

Thanks anyway.
[Touch Cruise General] meknb:
To enter the bootloader screen press the camera button an the reset button at the bottom of your phone 'the little hole next to the usb'.

You could try hard reset press and hold both bottom buttons and reset 'you will lose your contacts sms ect' so back up using pimbackup.

If your digitizer is not working 'doesn't respond to touch' try sync your phone and install mymobiler/,then you can browse you phone and backup to sd card before hard reset.
[Touch Cruise General] deukalion:
Already tried that, as I included in my previous post about getting access to the bootloader. I can't get into the bootloader with Camera Hold + Reset. Nothing happens, it's as if the buttons don't respond correctly.

Hold down both "bottom buttons"? You mean GPS and IE buttons? Tried that too. Tried a few others. And I'm certain this worked before. Like I said in my post, nothing has happened to the phone recently - it just started acting this way. So I'm guessing it's more a software problem than a hardware problem. Since I have HARD SPL and a homecooked OS the chances of it being that is a probability.

I have nothing that needs to be backed up, so I don't need to do anything about that.
[Touch Cruise General] lamerbot:
Hi

I have same problem. Screen doesn't react (only if press hard), and i can't enter bootloader and make HR.

Also, I had same problem 2 month ago. But I managed to revive it - made a lot of try of HR and one of them was successful. but now it is dead again and I don't know what to do...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] K_19:
Hey all,

For anyone with Bell vibrant version, do any of you have the problem with the "Google Maps Navigation is not yet available for your location" popping up when you open the app? Obviously this is not true since it's fully available here in Canada, not to mention the fact that it worked fine for me before. On my previous JG9 firmware it worked fine, but it seems to have sort of fudged up after the JH2 update. Now it shows that message, turn-by-turn nav is not available and only gives you the option of showing you directions.

Not that I use navigation much, but how should I go about in fixing this problem? :confused: any settings or caches I can clear to make it work again?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes, same error, the fix is to install a new version from Android market

but it is better to use a decent GPS software like CoPilot, IGo, or anything of that quality.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K_19:
Thanks for the info. I don't think I use GPS enough to buy a better app for it though, but I'll remember it as reference. I'll download the new version of stock for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] esokolov:
Google Maps Navigation suddenly stopped working for me on Friday 20th (southern Ontario). Current version is 4.4.0. No update available yet.

It has happened right in the middle of a long weekend trip. It's good I had my old reliable Garmin with me...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
I got my phone less than a week ago. Installed Google Maps 4.4 right away. It's worked perfectly since. I'm on whatever firmware the phone came with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoomanb:
I'm having the same problem on two different phones.

It comes and goes. Restarting the phone usually helps as a temporary fix.

@AllGamer: Google's Navigation may not have some advanced features but I find it far superior to both my Magellan and TomTom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

@hoomanb yes, i do like the google navigator, but it's not quite perfect yet, and as you said neither is TomTom

every one of those apps have something i like and dislike

currently using CoPilot, is almost great, but is also missing something i like from TomTom & Google Maps

if they could just combine all 3 of them together...

[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
i really think google needs to work on perfecting froyo before they even think about rolling out GB, so far i don't think many people are really liking froyo to much, just doesn't seemed all it was hyped up to be to many.
[EVO 4G General] /b/laZ1n:
NO WAI did you see the flash light?
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
I think they should let FroYo die and focus on making GB a better release, especially if they're numbering it as a major version. Honeycomb is nothing more than a name at this point. If they already knew what they wanted to develop for it, they'd just put it in GB.
[EVO 4G General] ckombo:

[EVO 4G General] VOODOOTRIP:
Seeing as how they have been in alphebetical order I believe this was just a guess and not actually proven.. i.e. cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, **and gingerbread** h(oneycomb?)
[EVO 4G General] StevenCCCP:
That is correct, plus gingerbread
[EVO 4G General] progenocide:
Personally I enjoy froyo a lot better then eclair and yes maybe it is not perfected however gingerbread is going to be a brand new version of android where as froyo is still a 2.x version of android making the possibilities in advancement greater then on froyo... Why waste time perfecting something when you have something better to perfect?

[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
Think of Froyo like Windows Vista. It had improvements over XP but with a lot of problems too that left most rather unimpressed. So Microsoft decided cut short development of Vista in favor of developing Windows 7 which by-in-large has been well received such that we would like to forget that Vista ever happened. In the same way, I think we will forget about Froyo once Gingerbread releases, provided that it actually is a great remake of Android.

In other words, why waste time perfecting a buggy OS? Just start over. Rethink the OS from scratch with a few lessons learned from previous successes and failures.

Eh...just my $0.02.

Supposedly Gingerbread will completely overhaul the default Android user interface, to the point where HTC was being asked if they would even include Sense on 3.0 (they said they still would, unfortunately...) That's what I'm most excited about :) Android is pretty B.A. but it's ugly as heck.

[Q] "Application Not Installed" when trying to get my Gallery3D.apk installed again

I feel like a dope, but I need some help here.

I was testing out some of the alternate Gallery3D builds, attempting to find something that zooms in with higher quality. Those apps have been able to install/uninstall fine using AndroidMate + a good reboot. Strangely, when I try to reinstall the original Gallery3D.apk from my SDcard (I backed it up before doing any of this), I get "Application Not Installed" -- using AndroidMate, Astro, or the built-in installer.

I've also tried "install gallery3d.apk /system/app/gallery3d.apk" from Terminal Emulator (I have BusyBox) installed, but no love. It seems to work ok, but the Gallery app doesn't show up.

Lastly, I don't have ADB going -- as I've never had good luck with that on my Win7 x64 install. Can't I do this without ADB?

Any other ideas?? :(

Thanks,

Yip
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
I THINK you can just push the apk to /system/app dir and itll work fine. I've done this before with my G1 and had no issues.

Edit: read you didn't have adb, you can try to cp via terminal from the /sdcard/ or something, I have never tried that though.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Thanks. I tried some of that, but without any success. There was also a Gallery3D.odex file in the \system\app folder that I *had* copied prior to all of this, but couldn't ever find where I put it. That MAY have been part of the issue, but I'm not sure.

I ended up restoring an earlier backup (from 2 days ago) and all is well.

Thanks for trying.
[EVO 4G General] corwinmortac:
Just a few thoughts about 2.1 vs. 2.2

Am I just smoking crack from all the repetitive flashing every other day, or do some of the mature 2.1 builds out there run smoother and have less battery drain?

I decided to drop back to an older DC 2.1 build and I keep finding myself thinking that even though some things are not as "zippy" overall I am happy with the performance. I also noted there were some odd items only seen on 2.2 roms, no matter what kernel I was on. These little things included the screen appearing to momentarily light up brighter at the bottom of the screen, and an odd bluish hue to white web pages until I would touch the screen. I have not been able to get the full flash working as smooth as on 2.2 , but ill keep messing with it im sure.
[EVO 4G General] bigblueshock:
Yeah on average the mature 2.1 roms will have better battery life then 2.2 roms, but with a custom 2.2 rom (DC, BS, etc...) my battery is almost as good as my 2.1 was.

The slightly less battery life on 2.2 is well worth the performance. Are you running the newer kernels? (2.6.32 versus 2.6.29). The 32 kernel seemed to have helped a lot in terms of responsiveness
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
While I might have had slightly longer battery life on 2.1, if I did, it isn't by much.

No way I could go back though, their are just to many things that work so much better on 2.2. Most noticable for me is how fast things open. Allong the same lines, when you open the settings/aplications menu or Titanium backup you don't have to wait two minutes for it to populate. Then their is the flash that actually works correctly on web sites. My phone boots up significantly faster, and just runs smoother. Nope, I couldn't go back.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
I actually find the new Flash to be annoying... with Flash Lite, you just double-tapped on the video, and it would go to full-screen... now it plays everything on the page, and can go really slow, and then you have to try to zoom in and find the full-screen controls on whatever video you're watching, in order to get it to fill the screen properly... unless there's a trick I don't know about...
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Long press on the flash video to bring up the full screen control or you can try to tap the full screen button on video players like Youtube. Either way, once you have it full screen, it runs pretty well. Video still lags a bit, but games run way better than they did in flash lite.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
i never updated my evo... i'm still on the original release rom with no updates. my phone isn't broken and i have sudo root via unrevoked 1 so nothing pressing me to update to 2.2 just because its available....
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
damn, long-press doesn't work for me... that only worked on Lite

I'm using burnt droid & 4.1.2 kernel. Did the battery memory wipe as well. I get about 32 hours generally after a week of the battery data adjusting to the battery itself. Also, don't have to use task killers anymore.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I'm within my 30days

I love this phone.

My battery discharges rapidly, especially their the first 5 mins off the charger.

I have been looking at this issue, but I am new to android.

I find it funny we can't actually see a battery percentage without installing third party apps. Then Sprint tries to say that these apps are the cause of the issue.

Trust me, I understand that this phone will drain the battery more rapidly than a lot of other phones. But there is something wrong with the way this phone charges the battery, therefore we see less battery life.

Can anyone prove or disprove their little claim that I am killing the battery by looking at its performance?
[EVO 4G General] lettcco:
tell him that the phone and the plan is also draining your wallet, may be you should do something about that too
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
the reason your battery sometimes drops so quickly after you take it off the charger has been well documented. several threads with ways to improve the battery as well.

it has to do with the way the battery actually charges. it charges to 100% then allows the phone to discharge to 90% then charges up again...so at any time when you unplug the phone you may have 91% to 100% charge. or something like that.

1) have you tried conditioning your battery? (plug, wait, unplug, rinse repeat)

2) are you rooted? (try using something like SetCPU or JuiceDefender)

3) are you on stock or custom rom? (the custom kernel devs have been working on this issue)

hmmmm...how could you possibly disprove the sprint person? try not using it for a couple days...see what happens.
[EVO 4G General] corwinmortac:
No doubt....my withdrawals kick in after its been in my pocket for too long...
[EVO 4G General] potna:
While do appreciate the input, I disagree with it being well documented. I have tried both top off methods, aka conditioning, and it seems to give you more of a charge, but as soon as discharge the battery you are right back where you started, conditioning the battery every morning is not ideal.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
If the phone is new, its going to take a few cycles to improve. I remember when in my first week it wouldn't last a day. Now I can get 20-30 hours out of it. (ROMs and tweaking of course.)
[EVO 4G General] surrealmethod:
There are tons of threads detailing what you can do to improve battery life... What have you done?

The purpose of a battery graph is to compare how your phone discharges to how your phone is being used. What plotting app do you have?
[EVO 4G General] surrealmethod:
This is false...lithium batteries do not get broken in or conditioned. What you saw is more than likely a result of constant using your new toy. The novelty has worn off and you have tweaked it so now you have extended the battery life.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I have disabled Bluetooth, WiFi, gps, and 4g

I set the radio to cdma only, and this led to problems. So I cleared all data And started over.

Are youguys seriously ok with 'conditioning' your batteries every morning?

Sometimes I think people think I'm just trying to find faults with this device. I want to keep the phone, but I also want this problem clearly identified and resolved. I should not have to use my tilt 2 to charge my battery because my new state of the art phone can't do it correctly.
[EVO 4G General] bomix:
it's called the Fat Wallet Mod Discussed in other threads also,

But yes, I think it's dumb to have to condition the phone to get the best battery life, and how I have to get soo much good Light to take a good camera shot when other comparable phones don't need too. You have to weigh the goods and bad yourself.
[EVO 4G General] surrealmethod:
The discharging of the battery is necessary as trickle charging a lithium battery is not recommended...thus this leads to you possibly having 95% instead of the full 100%. This is normal. Just unplug the device and charge again, or top it of in the car.

You never mentioned if you were rooted or not. If you don't use the news then don't sync it. If you don't use gtalk then disable it and turn off the auto sign in...i found that this app uses a lot of battery and its turned on by default.
