First determine if it is hardware or software. What happens when you hold down the volume down button... Do you ever feel it vibrate then?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick8197:
Nope its defiantly hardware
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Seems like that would be a manufacturing defect covered under warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipatella:
Download an app called sound manager. After it's installed hit menu and vibrate settings and make sure they're turned on. (just to make sure, it doesnt hurt) Good luck.

I had the same problem with my evo....it stopped vibrating at all and i actually found out it was a result of dropping the phone. i have to be extra carefull now with mine because if it falls it will stop vibrating again and i will be forced to drop it again purposely untill it vibrates again...lol

Having the same issue here. Could someone link me to the RUU that would correct this?

Original post:

Hi All,

I've recently realized that none of my notifications will cause my EVO to vibrate.

I rooted my phone using unrevoked about 4 months ago, and up until about a month ago everything was working fine, when the vibration notifications suddenly stopped.

I have tried checking all settings (which are set correctly), downloading the Sound Manager application, and most recently (today), flashing to the Fresh 4.1 ROM, all to no avail.

I have also attempted (unsuccessfully) flashing back to the original EVO ROM (3.2 i think), after setting S-chip back to "On", but was receiving an error message stating that the main version I was trying to flash is older than the current one.

Attempts to revert back to factory defaults also did not correct this problem.

I have been searching different sites for about 3 days now hoping to find some information on how to correct this or perhaps someone who has has a similair issue.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I want to download files into my Vibrant via the browser. These files are various types, like .zip, .rar, and so on. However, when I start the download, the phone tells me it cannot be downloaded because it's not a supported format. How do I get around this issue? I really want to do this, as the 3G download rates are much better than what I have available at home (no 3G there either!).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koiboi:
Same boat

I would also like to know why.... I wanted to download with wifi but the "file not supported" keeps showing up when I want to download a rar file.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
This issue has been

here quite a few times. Please download linda file manager and make sure you have the download plugin option turned on. If it is on and still not working, turn the option off and back on again.

Not trying to flame you or beat you up. Just trying to help you. Hopefully it works for you without any issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoyLoo:
Not to worry, it just annoyed me that the search didn't work, or I don't know how to use it... It would have saved me a lot of time. By the way, it appears the Linda File manager is no longer a Market app and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I did find Astro fiile manager and that works just fine!

There are buttons at the bottom of the page that go to the next page, and the next, and the next... You can also put 50 threads per page and scan through faster.. That's how I search the vibrant section.. Not that many pages to scroll through...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
It's been asked yes but.... to answer your question, download Astro File Manager from the Market, launch Astro, and then hit menu, go to preferences i think, then scroll down towards the bottom i think you will see a setting about "All File Types" or something like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dragooon123:
This happened to me twice, same computer with Windows 7 64 bit. Both the phones were SGS with JG4 by default and both didn't have 3 button combo working, whenever I try to flash Odin gets stuck at "Set Partition" and I take the cable out it gets stuck at "Phone - ! - PC" screen.

I am sure I am selecting the files correctly(PIT was 512, CODE in PDA, CSC in CSC, MODEM in PHONE), this is in attempt to install JPC on the phones. I also select "Re-partition" apart from the 2 other checkboxes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
You cannot select any flash files while you tick re-partition.

The phone needs to do a power cycle after it has been re-partitioned.

Did you get to download mode by using ADB?

Odin cannot screw up your flash, only you can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dragooon123:
So what should have I done? I got into downloads mode via ADB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
Actually you do not need to repartition unless you previously used 513.pit.

Start Odin.

Plug in the phone.

Type in CMD "adb reboot download"

Select flash files.

Download.

Any other way the flashing process will hang.

Do just as described.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jackiechan8:
Aren't you supposed to use pit 803 when flashing to JPC? Wouldn't recommend flashing JPC anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
803 is for P1000, thou it works with I9000 too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jackiechan8:
Yeah I know that, but isn't the problem here that he's using the 512 pit with JPC which doesn't work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
can you explain that? i always thought you can tick the repartition option during normal flash. i have never read that you have to repartition in a "separate cycle" and i did i several times (possible it got stuck then, i'm not sure anymore)! not that i want to question your knowledge, i am just wondering ...

obviously it does!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dragooon123:
So even if I get my 3rd replacement phone without 3 button downloads mode, I can flash a firmware in it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanrii:
How will the phone boot after you tick re-partition + insert just a .pit file and then flash? I mean, what kind of boot it should do?

Should it boot to android so I can use adb to get into the download mode or does re-partition result the phone--!--PC screen in the first power cycle? My phone has the "3-button disabled" thing so I'd rather not brick my phone. :P

I know you said it should still be able to boot into the download when that p--!--PC screen is shown even if it doesn't boot into the download mode under "normal" conditions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
i guess the repartitioning does not affect the bootloaders just the /system /data/ /dbdata /cache etc. partitions. also you can always just untick the reboot option and directly flash afterwards without a reboot...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanrii:
Richthofen precisely says that the phone should be shut down and battery should be removed after flashing with just .pit file. So you shouldn't directly flash it afterwards.

These things are case sensitive. You are looking for:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenScharf12:
bump to the top
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Bumping your own thread is the best way I know of to get people to ignore your question, especially when your bump is less than 30 minutes after your last post. If no one responds in a day or two then a bump is ALMOST acceptable, it's just good forum etiquette. (tip: posting any kind of progress, even if it's failed attempts, is a much better way to bump a thread. That way people at least know you are trying to solve the problem on your own)

Also, have you posted your question in the thread for the rom you are running? That's probably the best place to get relevant answers.

Although I am inclined to believe you are missing something, unless flipz changed the name of the apk for some reason.

Use ADB to "ls" your /system/app directory and post the output here. If you have the Sense style pull-down bar lockscreen then the lockscreen apk has to be there somewhere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
another option is at least in previous fresh roms in the fresh updater is a vanilla lockscreen flashable zip. yuoc an try seeing if it is still tjhere for 3.2 and flashing it to kill it off for you.

I rooted my Evo last night with no problem and then decided to risk taking chances modding. I ended up replacing the HTC lockscreen with the vanilla one! However, I ended up trying to do a clockwork mod (the one that has the battery number on the top) and now my phone is in bootloop. I can't get my computer to recognize the phone now to download something on it. Anyone know of a way around this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
You should be able to pull the battery and be able to boot right back to recovery. Did you try that? Loops are POST recovery override so I would guess you haven't tried this yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwillzillla:
Yes i'm in recovery but everytime I try to recover it goes into clockwork recovery and bootloops again. My laptop doesn't recognize the phone either.

Thanks for taking the time to help me btw
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
Have you tried a different USB port? Strangely, sometimes Windows gets picky with a particular port / phone combo... and then choosing a different port often fixes connection failures.

Also, did you try factory resetting the phone as well? Like... clear storage... followed by full wipe?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwillzillla:
Yeah I tried to reset factory but it resets it right into "Clockwork recovery." Trying to change ports now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwillzillla:
Yeah my main problem is I downloaded that mod and I need to get the phone back to how it was when I first used the Unrevoked 3.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
try booting to fastboot... then reboot your PC... then use a previously unused USB port... switch things around if you have to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
Actually... I have another idea...

IF you have unrevoked forever on there, I am guessing this should work...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764062&highlight=amon_RA

that thread shows how to easily get switched to amon_RA from clockwork essentially in one easy step... but it requires that you push the img file.. which you are mentioning you cannot do... BUT... if you have a card reader/writer, you can pop your micro SD card out of the phone and into a reader/writer and put the img file in its root... along with a ROM of choice. then boot to the phone and it will automatically ask you if you want to restore the image file. say yes and you will be loaded up with amon!! amon is better. once you have that on there, pull the pcimg36 file off and flash the ROM that you picked from your amon recovery.

does this make sense? if not i can try to give better detail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:

Roms, oh the many choices

Cyanogenmod6 is simply the best, but it is VERY buggy at best and needs and unlock, which you don't have. I like Ava v7 because of it's simplicity and stability. A lot of people like evio and baked snack though. I don't know why. I don't personally.

Hi,

I've read that we can install Froyo (without sense) on the HTC Hero. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] eduede:
thanks.

another quick question, when doing a wipe what all should i wipe.

my nandroid options are:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe SD: ext partition

Wipe SD: dalvik-cache (but when i click this on the phone it says run deldalv via console!)

When installing this cyanogenmod and he says WIPE, what does he mean? I'm guessing factory reset, yes?

best,

eamon
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] athanos:
I always do a nandroid backup first. Then any time I flash a ROM I wipe all of them (data, dalvik, and ext). This is a personal preference of mine and I have never had a problem with it. If there is an update to a ROM you already have installed you can generally get by without wiping, but I never leave anything to chance. Make sure you do a backup. If something goes wrong with flashing your new ROM you can always restore.

Most of the time when a dev says to wipe, he or she means to wipe data. However, if you are running apps2sd or switching ROMs and you have already been using apps2sd then you will need to wipe dalvik as well. I'm not sure if you have your sd card partioned for apps2sd or not. I'm not sure why you are getting the error wiping dalvik, but I'm sure someone will come along soon to help us figure that one out. I hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Are you using apps2sd? If not that's why you're getting the error. "WIPE SD Dalvik-cache" is for wiping the cache IF you have moved it to the SD card using apps2sd.

If you have not moved it to the SD card then you can wipe dalvik from another menu in the recovery.

You will lose the Sense UI...but will gain a whole new appreciation for your Hero!

Cyanogenmod is a custom ROM implementation of FROYO. Once you go CM, you won't want to go back :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LiquidSolstice:
That's debatable. I went back pretty quickly.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LifeInTheGrey:
Yeah, its an ongoing debate. Some people love how pretty Sense is visually, and you can't really match it with AOSP without paying a little bit (LauncherPro Plus, Beautiful Widgets, etc.). On the other hand, AOSP is lightweight and very fast, and the plainer foundation means that there are many options in terms of theming. I personally am an AOSP guy because of the features, functionality, and customizability of it, but it really is dependent on tastes.

Still, its worth a try at least. Its why Nandroid exists. ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LiquidSolstice:
Right, I agree that it's totally subjective, but after trying out Zen's Aria port, I can safely say that I've finally found a Sense rom that is faster than AOSP Froyo with LPP. Trust me on that. So for me, it's like, why compromise, right? Sense can run all the AOSP widgets, and also runs all the Sense Apps, which I can't live without.

So what are some of the real world speeds you guys get on 4g connection? I am using the speedtest.net app, I got the phone last Friday so I was playing with it around my apartment. The speeds I was getting were average at best; 2510 kbps down and 327 kbps up were about my averages.

However I just ran some speed tests at my work today and holy crap. I wish I could take a screenshot of my results, but I am not rooted. My average speeds here are 6390 kbps down and 1088 kbps up. And the highest result I Have gotten is 8740 down and 1131 up. That is faster than my home internet download by a shade and almost double the upload speeds.

I am in Houston getting those speeds right off the beltway.

As a side note Clear, the people who power sprint's 4g service, offers internet direct from them. I wonder if that means the 4g infrastructure is better here because Clear wants better internet for their home service.
