I feel rude asking again, but my Evo keeps giving me an error message stating that the Media Player is Unknown, and I really need my phone to stream music tomorrow when I'm driving 13 hours to Colorado...

So if anybody has an idea of maybe how to fix it, I would truly appreciate it, I've tried installing other music player's such as RealPlayer but I've had no luck thus far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SSaxman:
Ever since the 5.1 update for Maps, I have this service -- NetworkLocationService -- that runs pretty constantly in the background. I can stop it, but it starts back up within seconds. I did sign out of Latitude thinking that might be the cause, but the service persists. I uninstalled the 5.1 update, reverting back to 5.0, and no longer have the NetworkLocationService running any time I check. Has anyone else noticed this? The only reason I ask is because my battery life has taken a little bit of a hit since the 5.1 update. I like some of the new features in 5.1, but don't want/need that service running all of the time draining battery. Just curious what everyone else is seeing.

i dont know.... never seen that...

I am guessing you are running RLS5.

are you running any custom kernels / which one?

try... this is just shots in the dark:

1. try doing wipe on cache and dalvik then reboot.

2. try a new kernel. i like netarchy-toastmod 4.3.2

3. try a fresh install.. after full wipe on all (3times)

I just finished installing amon RA v2.3 Final. When I booted into recovery to make sure it installed (it did), I noticed that the screen bug is still present after you click on reboot. As long as I'm able to flash, wipe, backup and restore, I'm not that concerned with it. My comment is merely for FYI purposes. Anyway, thanks again for the tip. Take care.:D

i recently used unrevoked to root my phone and think that it put clockwork in as my recovery. is amon_ra a better recovery to use? if so, does clockwork need to be uninstalled before flashing amon_ra?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bxphantom:
U can just use rom manager to flash amon_ra as an alternative recovery. As for better it is imo a preference of the user, I just personally like amon_ra better then clockwork mod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
many of us were clockworkmod fanboys, because it worked.

but when there was snafu with the upgrade, many switched to amon_ra.

i like buying amon_ra red bull, so i use his recovery.

works great.

v2.3 is not available yet with rom manager, so you can flash it

using bootloader, adb or terminal.

shoot me a pm if you need a hand

but yes, i would use amon_ra

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I think the reason you never got an answer was honestly because no one really knows what you are talking about. That, and you posted it like 3 straight times once on each page.

What music apps are you trying to use? I see you tried a few, which ones? I am running slacker as I type this with no issue. What about playing media stored on your device? Put a bunch on your SD for your trip, why does it need to be streamed?

I don't know what message you are referring to/have never seen anything like it. You are best to nandroid, flash clean make sure it works, then go back to the nandroid and try reflashing the ROM over itself without wiping. These sorts of things don't just *happen* they are almost always due to some mod/theme/app you have flashed...

Hope this was somewhat helpful at least.

Hello Mynions!

Long time no see :) I have been busy hacking away at a nook Color.

I have a quick question. Does using this (or any other) ROM, mess with my ability to pay for and use the official Sprint hotspot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the version of the Sprint Hotspot on Myns rom is a hacked version, only allowing 3g tether, no 4g. If you are paying Sprint for the hotspot, I believe you'd want to delete the hotspot app that comes with this rom, and install the un modified version. You could grab it from a ROM without the hack already implemented. Then 4g should work as well, fully functional.

You are correct, sir. At least that is my understanding. For what it's worth, the wireless tether app is the way to go...free, encryption enabled, 4G, numerous devices....I love it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
I'm not paying for it,...yet.

Here's the deal. I have a Clear Spot 4G+. It switches between 3G and 4G. The problem is that while it is doing the switching there is no connection. So, if I am in an area with spotty 4G it is constantly switching between the radios. Leaving me with no connection the entire time, and as far as I can tell there is no way to turn off the 4G radio without an internet connected PC.

I am planning on dumping the Clear Spot, and I wanted to pay the $30 a month to use the official Sprint tether. That way I would still have a 4G hotspot, but would easily be able to turn of the 4G when I am in an area I know will cause problems.

I am wondering if running a custom ROM eliminated the ability to run the official tether. I am worried that I am going to dump the Clear, the Sprint one won't work, and then I am stuck with nothing, or crawling back to clear. :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Exactly!.....I lost confidence in CWM after the snafu & went exclusively to amon RA. Does that mean amon RA is better? Not at all. As bxphantom stated, it is a matter of preference.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Unless something has changed, the official Sprint hotspot feature is not 4G capable, however, the free wireless tether app that comes preinstalled with Myn's roms or that can be downloaded from the market is 4G capable. I know this for a fact because I often tether several laptops to it when my DSL service is acting up. You still get what you want without forking over $30 to Sprint only for 3G tethering. You can try the wireless tether app before you decide on what you're going to do in regard to Clear Spot 4G and Sprint and see if it suits your needs.

Hey lowetax - it's time to change your signature to reflect Amon_RA v2.3 FINAL. Just finished my taxes and I'm beat after just my return so I feel for you being buried under all the ones you must have.

Also, wanted to let you know that a person at work was charging his EVO battery while in the phone and he experienced a minor explosion and fire. He was using a kernel with SBC. Not saying it was the kernel's fault but glad I stayed away from a kernel with SBC, besides hate wearing protective gear to sleep in. LOL

Stupid ROM Manager telling me 2.2.2 is the latest RA
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I could be wrong, but as I understood it, the official Sprint Hotspot is capable of 4g tether if you're paying sprint. It is the hacked version (in the custom ROMs) that 4g doesn't work. So if you were paying sprint, and installed the official, un hacked version of the hotspot, 4g should work. Either way, as you said, Doug, wireless tether is the way to go. Free, and flawless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Holy smokes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Oh okay. See, I learned something new today. I didnt realize that the unhacked version of the Sprint Hotspot app was 4G. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate the feedback. As for the wireless tether app, 'nuf said....:)

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
This could have very well been an isolated incident, but has anyway experienced a phone panic after getting off a conference call? I was on the phone with my fiance and my mom called, and I accidentally put them both on a conference call. Immediately after I hung up, the screen would stay on the dialer screen with the "Call Ended" button greyed out. On Z, the titlebar is green during a call, and it stayed green after I hung up. Upon pressing the home key, instead of going to homescreen I went to the splash screen (not the white one, but the black one - I am not sure if it is called a splash screen)

By phone panic, I mean that after I powered down/reboot I would enter the splash screen only (The black htc quietly brilliant warm z screen) and could not do anything. It went through boot animation, then lock screen, then splash screen. I powered down again, and same thing. This time I waited patiently and eventually my homescreen turned on. I glanced through myn's issues log and did not find it posted. Like I said, it could have been a one time thing. Just wondered if anyone has experienced this. I am up and running, so we are all good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
4 issues I didn't see answered fully...

(either rom) Sprint Hotspot: I pay for it. Prior to rooting the stock hotspot app offered 4g tether.

(z rom) Phone dialer working while in phone calls: In the sounds menu, make sure your touch tones are set to long.

(z rom) Bluetooth issues: make sure that you do a fresh pairing with your headset. Restoring settings from titanium backup will not work.

(z rom) Notification bar power control widgets: after you add the widget.txt file, be sure to enable read permission for user. And a hot restart is sufficient.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I've experienced a lag and no "end" button to push after a phone call has ended, but after hitting the lockscreen/screen-off button, I am able to end the call. Those occurrances have been rare but I've never experienced the few I've had in the manner you described.

[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
Thanks for the responses guys. I really appreciate it.

The official tether frm Sprint does include 4G. It states it right on the Sprint EVO page, under the full features tab.

My question is, does running a custom ROM eliminate the ability to call Sprint and say "hey, charge me $30 a month for some hotspot!"? Does the ROM itself break the ability to officially tether?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Thanks for pointing out the permissions about the widget.txt. That is a crucial step if it added via root explorer. If you use "adb remount" prior to "adb push", there aren't any permissions issues, at least in my experience. On RLS 5, all I had to do was a hot restart, but for some odd reason it required a full restart on warm z. I've only had to do it once, however, on the first nightly, so maybe that was just a one time thing. Thank you. Have a lovely evening, FoeKilla
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
That's what I thought - just a one time occurrence. Maybe I had too many things running at once prior to the phone call and it just got overloaded. Thank you for your input, D
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
The official Sprint Hotspot app will still work with custom roms. I continued to use it until it got hacked. Since then, I've found the free wireless tether app to be more reliable. I do however continue to pay for tether. But that's a personal decision based on my views of what constitutes theft. (I'm not casting stones, I swear! To each his/her own)
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
EDIT : was already answered, disregard.

No, the rom doesn't break it. You can surely still have sprint charge you, and you could then use the hotspot, on any rom. As I said though, you'd need the un hacked hotspot to be able to use 4g though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I'd very much like to find a solution for the SMS issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing the Error 2 codes and the message not sent regardless of what application I use to send SMS?

I suspect it has to do with GSM ported to a CDMA device, but I can't confirm this. Seems no one else can duplicate the issue and I am just completely lost as to what is going on.

I have done absolutely everything over and over again to install the nightlies:

Wipe using AmonRa (cache/data/dalvik) about 3x each

Flash Calk's FORMAT_ALL script at least 3x

Flash the (at last update) 02082011 nightly)

SMS works for a while, then craps out, just starts giving me those 'message can't be sent' warnings, doesn't send messages at all.

I've tried using HandCent where this showed up first, so I used stock messaging, that crapped out as well, then I used GoSMS, same issue

I'm completley lost as to what could be the issue here. I checked out the base Desire Z and there were a few people saying they were having some issues with the SMS but nothing concrete.

I think I just need somewhere to start looking for an answer but not sure where to go first in the ROM.

When I nand restore back to RLS5 everything works fine.

Any suggestions/advice/pointers would be most appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Sanjsrik I am really disappointed for you friend. That has got to be frustrating. I know I lost mms abilities for two days at some point and it was terrible. You really have done everything I think and since no one has duplicated the issue it's hard to troubleshoot anymore than you've done.

My advice is to stick with rls 5 until a final release of z. Then flash it and see.

Come to think of it did you happen to flash calkulins mod for increasing to 5mb messages? I don't recall.

Sent with Supersonic style.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I even today first flashed Calkulin's 1.8 and it overheated the device so badly I flashed back to RLS5.

I don't think it's the device, if RLS5 works flawlessly, I have to believe it's how it's interacting with the nightlies.

I'm certain this will come out in more users' devices, just a matter of time before someone else reports this. I'm consistently running into this and will try the next (full aka not abridge) nightly and see what happens there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
Wait,...are you saying that a rooted phone can't 4G tether, even if it's legitimately through Sprint?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Man..Once the final Z is released...I dont think i'll ever flsah another rom...This beta is stable as fack for me....in love!
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
No, I'm not. I'm saying that I've been using the wireless tether app ever since the official app got hacked because I find it more reliable. Its been too long since I've used the hacked official app to recall if it works with 4g or not. I've never attempted to find an unhacked version.

The post you quoted was in response to people saying the official app (pre-hack) didn't support 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
From what I recall the hacked can only tether 3g. To tether with 4g you need the unhackwd version. I could find one for you if need be. Just pull from a ron with one. I think warm 2.2 rls 1 is not hacked. Correct me if I am wrong.

Sent with Supersonic style.
[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
Whew!

I'm not going to bother with the hacked one. I'm just gonna have them turn the hotspot on. I gotta keep my 4G capability. I get 10-12mb down while I am in Seattle. It's when I leave Seattle to go to work that reception gets screwy.

Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
Kinda sucks to get quoted while I'm editing my post ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
Thanks for pointing that out. I was thinking I could just grab the Sprint Tether app from the Sprint section of the market. Apparently that is not the case.

I'm gonna check old Titanium backups on my PC for it. If not I will pull it from one of the ROMs you suggested.
[EVO 4G Android Development] philburkhardt:
Haha, that crap happens to me all the time. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
There is a way but you will have to request it from one of the devs who theme. Sorry to be of no help.

Also just wait patiently next time. I noticed that you've posted three times in a row. Not to be a jerk in anyway but just wait. Eventually someone will get to you. Especially if its a theme issue. I also noticed your thread in the theme section. :-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
In case you didn't find it yet, this is the Sprint Hotspot, unhacked version. It came out of RLS1, and Myn didn't implement the hacked/free version until RLS2 or RLS3, I forget. So here ya go! Official, unhacked Sprint Hotspot.

EDIT: It appears as though more is needed to get that to work. Sorry.

EDIT: Myn and Incubus said that you'd also need the framework.jar from RLS1 as well. I extracted that for you, and put it in a zip. If you do decide to use the sprint hotspot, just extract the framework.jar from the zip file.

FYI

To confirm, the free tethering mod is more then just the APK.

There is a dependency in /system/framework/framework.jar so despite replacing just the apk, you'll need the original framework.jar too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
That actually happened to me before. I forget what I tried, but it eventually cleared itself up. Try clearing cache and data from the messages app. Are you using the stock messaging app? To clear the cache and data: menu>settings>applications>manage applications>then select the "all" tab. Find the messaging apk. Then clear cache and data (i forget if clearing the data will erase your messages, but I do not think it does)
