[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runningwarrior08:
CM6 doesn't have any Sprint/hands free activation features because it is full AOSP

So you know they will try and have you provision it on your end first and to do that you must be running a Sense Rom with all the provisioning codes able to be used the ## codes. I myself prefer baked snack and the codes worked for me when I used it. I would try switching to another rom and try updating them then try sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Well, for one CM might be causing the problem. I'm running CM RC2 right now and I love it but my data connection is much worse than on the sense based rom I've ran before.

Also, I don't think Sprint will be able to do what i suggested if you're on CM. I could be wrong about that also but this is why I think it might not work: When i got my EVO I gave my Hero to my little sister. I called Sprint to have them transfer the phone to her account and they couldn't get it provisioned because I was running DD2.7, another AOSP build.. Once we had her set up I flashed her back to DD2.7 and all is good.

So don't be surprised if you have to flash back to a sense rom to get your data problems sorted out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Meh I really don't want to ditch CM6. =/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Yeah I really love CM6, but I tether so my data is important to me =/

So if the issues are caused by CM, could I switch to a Sprint Rom, have them do what they have to do, and then switch back to CM6 or would that just bring the issues back?

what would be the easiest ROM to switch to if so?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Once you get all your data stuff sorted out you can flash back to CM, we're just suggesting you may have to flash to a Sense rom just long enough to get stuff fixed.

So I installed cyanogentazz v8 the other day. I decided to check and make sure my phone was using the right radio band so I did the following:

Dialed *#*#4636#*#* > phone info and radio was set to wcdma. So I switched to cdma auto prl and then menu > select radio band. It forced close as it should. I turned the screen off for while, then I check again and it was set to gsm. I had not restarted the phone it anything like that. I switched back to cdma auto prl and turned the screen off again. A few minutes later it was set to wcdma.

Now my question is could the app toggle 2g be doing this? That's really the only thing I can of that would change the radio band. Any insight would be great.

I just changed the band and hit the back button and rebooted. I didn't do Menu > Change Radio Band. When I dialed back into the settings, it was still at prl cdma auto.

Not sure what wcdma is.. anyone know?

Yes, Toggle 2G will reset the network type. However, new in version 0.0.8 I added an option to pick which network type to use for 2G and 3G modes. Just open the settings and set 3G to cdma auto prl

Thank you for your answer. And thank you for creating this awesome app. Saves me loads of battery without the hassle of turning data off manually every time I turn my screen off!!

I'm on CELB Froyo 2.1 and since changing my radio band from wcdma preferred (default on rom) to cdma auto (prl)(default on stock), my battery life has been crap!

Can someone explain this?

Ive been searching the forums for an icon pack that has clear icons, something really simple.

is there somewhere to download these? ive been looking in peoples sig's for download links and searching the forum to no avail.

if anyone can assist that would be wonderful :) the stock icons are boring, and the simple text ones are nice, but not when using a lot of icons in one area.

Thanks!

I've heard some people mention downloading one of the Glaskart, Vivid 1/Vivid 2 and/or (i think it's called) Minimalist icon packs from the market, using something like Root Explorer to copy the apk to their SD card, unzipping it and locating the .pngs you like, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi..

The howto for permissions root on froyo, recovery and Cyanogen?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
firstly answer these questions.

1)how old is your handset?

i need to know this becuase i doubt you remember what hboot version it was before you updated to the fro-yo update.

2)you will need to downgrade. using this method regardless.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750852

once you have flashed PB99IMG.zip and if you get a picture then you dont need to continue with the procedure. if you do not get a picture, you continue with instructions.

once you have done that you will need to root.

root using unrevoked method. www.unrevoked.com.

if you have a SLCD screen the link in 2) will be have full instructions on this.

once you have flashed unrevoked and are in the custom recovery you can flash any zip.

so you can put cyanogen port for desire onto the SD card and flash that in the recovery screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilot-calc:
thanks.. but I lose the guarantee???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
you will lose warranty if you flash anything unofficial to you're phone.

again can you answer the questions above

also what network you are on and things like that. because you may be able to flash OFFICIAL RUU of your network back on after running cyanogen to get back to factory setting
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
you will also lose your warrenty by rooting..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
yep that to. but if you use modaco's root method, apart from the rom no sign of root :P

recovery remains stock.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trandoanhung1991:
Hi guys, I'm having this WEIRD WEIRD problem after messing around with the phone.

Here's what happened:

2 days ago, I received the phone. After unboxing it and playing with it for like 10 minutes, turning it on and off often, messing round with the features. Then, the phone rebooted by itself. After that, boot loop. It'd get stuck at the green HTC screen forever. I have no idea what happened, so I tried factory reset. Didn't work. Recovery, also stuck. So I brought it home and looked into rooting/flashing.

Now, the phone is running RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed. SOMETIMES, the phone would boot in and I would be able to use it, but most often it'd just keep restarting and then hang at the green HTC screen, or maybe get the quietly brilliant and then restart.

What should I do? I have the RUU for 1.19.707.6, but with that RUU, it keeps saying that it can't see my phone. Sigh.

I can get into fastboot, but no guarantee after that. What should I do? Can't bloody swap it, coz I imported it:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
sounds like a h/w problem to be honest :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trandoanhung1991:
Is it possible that this is a firmware problem? I'd hate to have to send it back for repairs, cost a lot.

I did the heap-test command, and everything is ok. So where could the problem be?:(. Can't even boot using fastboot oem boot:(. Any ideas?

PS: I think I have the correct RUU for my phone. Always complete without a hitch.

Right now im trying to install a custom rom and im stuck at accessing the recovery page :( pls help meee

I had the same problem because the path was incorrect. I found the adb command in

[Hero, G2 Touch General] im2cool92:
No matter what I do. I always get the "adb" is not recognised as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file. What am I doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NeatBee:
Google has recently changed where adb can be found in the sdk. Just un-zip it anywhere i recommend the C drive, so it should look like this C:\android-sdk-windows\

Then browse to this folder and launch 'SDK Manager'

Open the window 'Choose packages to install' (it should open automatically first time) and choose to install the 'Android SDK Platform-tools, revision *'

To set the variable paths, do as in the first post and add these variable strings (assuming you unzipped it to C:\android-sdk-windows\ if not just modify it so it matches where you unzipped it to

;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Then you're good to go! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] radrian92:
After doing all the above stated i still can't execute any commands. I typed "adb devices" and it just says the devices that are linked but it doesn't give me a serial number.

Sweet! I got my first-ever smart phone last November (2010). The MyTouch 4g (completely stock) worked great for a couple/few months. Then I started getting lots of performance issues. A quick bit of Internet research showed that this wasn't uncommon for this phone - BUMMER. I've finally decided to perma-root (s = off) the thing and this was my first step in doing so.

Nice guide! I had a bit of a problem initially but reading the replies here clued me into SDK Manager and including the "platform-tools" directory on the Environmental Variable Path. Thanks!

I am rooting my HTC Desire Z using the Cyanogen Wiki guide.

I'm not sure what I have done wrong all the files were copied to the platform tools folder where adb is?

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Legend General] vizkoze:
Hello,

i'm having troubles with the last OTA 2.05.405.2 update on a stock unbranded, sim-free HTC legend.

The weird thing is my screen going black when calling to my voicemail and not being able to get back to a normal screen. So I cannot interact with the phone anymore.

I get the same problem with other phonecalls too but when the other side hangs up, my screen comes back normal.

I suspected an incompatible app so i reset my phone to factory settings, but this didn't help.

My next step was to download the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed ROM from the internet and make myself a goldcard. The process of "updating" (downgrading in fact) goes well until i get an errorcode "140" "Bootloader problem"

Is there a way to replace the bootloader to a previous one? How do I proceed?

Tnx
[Legend General] AllWin:
Men, use search... There is a good thread about downgrading.
[Legend General] vizkoze:
Black screen while in call -- proximity sensor broke?

OK, I managed to downgrade my phone succesfully to 2.03 official rom.

My black screen problem still exists. Apparently, my light sensor is not sensitive enough.

When in call, the screen goes black, even if I don't hold it to my ear.

When I put the sensor under a bright light, the screen goes on again. So there must be a wrong setting or just a fysical problem.

Does anyone else have this problem (only when in call)
[Legend General] in2ition:
I have the same problem but the screen turns back on when I shake the phone.
[Legend General] vizkoze:
I called HTC service today.

the problem could be software or hardware, for software related problems, a hard reset (factory settings) should resolve the problem.

In my case, i had to send it back for repair.
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
I hope you unrooted before you gave it in for repair. Or did you flash an unrooted ROM when you downgraded?
[Legend General] vizkoze:
I flashed a stock rom 2.03.405.4 from shipped-roms.com.

My previous Rom was 2.05.405.3 via on OTA update.

I suppose there is no problem with that.

Tnx for the attention.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Like in2ition, when I move the handset away from my ear while on a call the screen comes backs, but I'm guessing yours didn't. It's most likely a power saving 'feature' as while you are on the phone you are probably not going to be looking at the screen.

Were any other features not working on the phone? Games like Teeter etc?

Anyway, hope it comes back fixed.
[Legend General] vizkoze:
Well this adventure is getting out of hand.

I sent the phone back to HTC and they claim the failing light sensor is not covered by the warranty because they have seen some scratches on the cover, not on the screen!

So they send me a repair note of 225€!!!

Be aware that HTC is trying to get out of their responsability when sending back you device.

I'm trying to escalate with HTC but so far (after six weeks) no luck, the call center is holding back the answer...
[Legend General] drinkmilk:
Viskoze, I seem to have the exact same issue. I am very grateful that you shared your experience; thanks to that I know that returning the phone as high chances of being an expensive move (my legend has scratches too) and I seem to have found a workaround (putting the phone under a bright light doesn't work and wouldn't be as easy):

sliding my finger from left to right above the screen brings the phone back to life.

Even if there is a hardware pb (the light sensor), the fact that pressing the standby button doesn't bring the phone back to life is definitely a bug to me. Hopefully they fix that in a future release.

I will try to remember to update this thread if this workaround doesn't prove to work well, but so far it works 100% of the time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mean Sixteen:
Hey all.

I am not ready to turn s-off yet. But I want to upgrade my radio.

The problem is when I try and use the same pg3img file I used to go to stock when I first went to 2.05 it tells me "main is older. Update failed"

And then I have to reboot.

So does anyone know what I am doing wrong. Do I need another pg3img file (can they only be used once?)

Or did I just mess something up?

Any help appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowthatisrandom:
from what i understand you need to have s-off to flash to 2.15
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
Correct. The whole process of flashing the 2.15 radio depends on the signature checking system within the bootloader to be disabled.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankey:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
The screen resolution is 800x480 anyway so the extra resolution does not benefit you at all. It's just a minor convenience to avoid converting the video but you're wasting battery power to decode the video and a lot of space. 720p is enough of a battery and space waster.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam3sjam3s:
1080p isn't even listed as a file which can be played. You can't even upload it via iTunes, so there is no official hardware acceleration built in for 1080p.

I guess it is a development question, because it may be related with codecs, drivers, etc.

But no, it can't. I have tried it, even though I'm not about to watch full HD on my SGS

We can use microUSB to HDMI and we have DLNA. So it would be useful to us. Anyway, as I've already said my interest is about hardware capabilities not watching full HD on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccage:
You still have to convert the video though for these devices still cause h.264 codec support for mobile devices don't support all of what the codec can do. It's also wasted bit rate as well. It's better to have a lower resolution video with a decent bit rate then it is to have a video with a massive resolution but not enough of a bit rate to smooth out artifacts. this resolution race for videos on mobile phones is a tad stupid.

I wasn't talking about hardware accelerated 1080p playback. I was talking about how everything in iOS is adapted to support as much of the hardware features as possible, while Android is not adapted to support the SGS hardware in any other way than Samsung just tossing in (semi)working drivers.
