[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delvaris:
chances of kaosfroyo ever getting flash are somewhere between -1 and 1, exclusive of limits (ie. Zero). Porting flash over to the Eris would require a significant rebuild of the code and while I am sure there are devs here who could, I think it would be absolutely wrong to ask them to do so, we ain't adobe, we ain't payin' em, and they would be exposing themselves significantly (in a legal sense pervs) to do so.

That said, KaosLegendary, his froyo/sense rom already has flash working because it piggybacks off of HTC's FlashLite plugin to do so. If you want flash that badly, give KaosLegendary another few dev cycles and it'll probably be just as good as KaosFroyo.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcalmpedro:
LMFAO...nice
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrip037:
Currently, I believe KaosFroyo is the best. It's served me well, and it's fast.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidJW:
+1 for Kaos v36, however, Tazz and Conap's CELB ROMs are both top-notch.

I just saw ShadowRom thread...where has that one been hiding? (in the shadows?)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleByte:
ROTFLMAO...that's funny. Touche.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MahaVoodoo:
I came from Kaos to Nonsensikal ROM. Now using Nonsensikal 9,0 - very fast, stable, includes Launcher pro and Autokiller presets, I love it really:cool:!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilshyre:
Well now, that really is too bad. All the women I know seem to have a great affection for the.. satisfaction, shall we say, that only the particular anatomical assets of the opposing sex can provide. I would counsel you to reconsider your present gender preference, as I'm certain that you are simply unacquainted with the gratification that only a good penis can provide you, due to the specific needs of your biological framework. Now, please, be reasonable! I know that this is somewhat of an obstacle for you due to your gender, as it is also well-known that a woman's capacity for reason is slight, if not negligible, consequently making the ability to rationalize difficult, if not altogether impossible for you. But, I'm certain that with time and patience, you can be dissuaded, as it is also a known fact that women are irrevocably whimsical, perpetually changing their minds in accordance with whichever way the wind happens to be blowing. That being said, I would urge you to make the best of a bad situation, and use your disadvantages as a woman to facilitate this change. Please do not let my words go unheeded, Steve, as I'm sure that it would be mutually beneficial to everyone if you were to follow my advice, and go with Tazz's froyo pink the next time you flash a new ROM to your droid eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandums:
I use Tazz 11 vanilla and really like it. No problems for me at all.

Why are people going gaga over Flash? :confused:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semmtexx:
Is it just me, or do froyo roms run too much junk in the background? I'm just sayin'.

ShadowROM's thread was banned because it links to a separate thread on a separate site, instead of keeping an updated thread here.

Against forum policy. It's written, and agreed to, before you even post.

Google it if you want to find it.

CELB, Kaos, and Tazz all have great ROMs. Kaos and Conap are VERY technical guys and I trust the work that they do.

CELB is more pure cyanogen, and Kaos is mixed AOSP/Cyanogen. I prefer all cyanogen, but Kaos is just as nice.

Use the battery tweak to overclock to 768mhz or whatever your phone works best with. Battery tweak WON'T stick through reboot on Kaos's ROM because it's not pure Cyanogen, but works great on tazz/CELB.

Well, lol, guess what... pink hates you! ;)

I won't even, I can't... must... re..sist...tem...ptation!

I'm with jp on that one ;) Kidding wil, I knew you were messing around the whole time, but...

... I need to ask you, do you talk like that all the time? lol ... you don't have to answer that ;):D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MahaVoodoo:
I feel that Kaos, Tazz and Nonsensikal ROMs are close to their final versions. It would be great if somebody did some tests to compare them, using the scientific methods:)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emadgreek:
I tried Kaos and Tazz and have to say Tazz Froyo is amazing in speed and the default camera app works. Im using this phone on metro pcs and see better speeds with Tazz rom for some reason.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemro311:
Personally I like both CELB and Tazz's Roms. However my phone for some reason , unknown to me, runs better on Celb . These gentlemen take alot of pride in their work and try to resolve issues as they arise .
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokedkill:
In my case, I goto Online College. The website requires flash to access our class websites. We don't have video, but flash is still part of how the site is set up for other reasons. If it wasn't for that, I'm happy using Skyfire for my video needs, along with a website I found androidvideo.net.

My guess as far as why everybody else wants flash is because of online videos being flash.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
Okay I really dont hate pink lol. This has been one interesting thread tho. I am seriously debating trying celb myself I keep seeing it everywhere, or maybe even xtrrom even tho I didnt really want to go back to 2.1
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilshyre:
To answer that.. no, I don't always talk like that. In truth, I never talk like that. I just thought it would be funnier if I did talk like that on this particular occasion. In addition, since I find myself endowed with an easy aptitude for pretentious rambling, as well as the mastery of a considerably bountiful and capacious vocabulary, I thought it best to employ the aforementioned approach in order to provide an overall better execution of this particular brand of buffoonery. Indeed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilshyre:
See? I knew that with a little goading we could steer you in the right direction. This just goes to show that, although women have their limitations, severe as they may be, it is indeed still possible to urge them into a state of a semi-conscious enlightenment, provided you hold their hand and speak soothing words for long enough. What you have achieved today is a nearly unprecedented accomplishment in the history of womenkind, and I for one would like to commend you. Welcome back, Stephanie.

(An aside from the author: This is a joke, fellas. Don't take offense, as none of this has been sincere.. merely improvised in an attempt to achieve comedy. I am sorry if it is your opinion that I have failed to attain funniness. Good day.)

[G2 and Desire Z General] mrkev150:
Early this morning, I unplugged my G2 from the outlet before leaving to work. The damn thing just shut off and won't turn on again...:mad:

I tried the power button, the optical pad button+power, took out the battery and back in multiple times, many times plugged in and not plugged in.

What a POS phone, I mean we get a 1.3gb usable space not the advertised 4gb, it also "corrects" itself with a hidden mirror OS so it's very difficult to root, plus the damn loose hinges and the screen ribbon exposed when the hinges are fully opened, the screen also has a very subtle yellow hue, plus reports of random reboots, market problem where google goggles won't install, live wallpapers crashing and freezing up, and finally the POS just dying on me when I need it for work.

If you have a G2 with no problems (yeah right):rolleyes: then congrats. I'm really considering withdrawing from the extended contract and going with the iFail.

Sorry for the rant, just a little pissed off and the customer service lady was a real *****.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gjvah:
ok

:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrkev150:
Yup. Oh BTW. The e39 is also a POS. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
You're not alone, man. Between this and the Vibrant headache, I fear my days with T-Mo are numbered. It was a fun decade, but it doesn't look as if they plan to change their course anytime soon.

Unless, of course, they want to start carrying the Desire HD?

We'll see what G2 #2 brings tomorrow. If it's more of the same problems, I will be a disappointed man. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Fuskand:
This happened to me too. But I managed to power it back on after fiddling with removing the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Yeah my g2 refused to turn on a couple of times now without taking out the battery and putting it back in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gjvah:
Sweet observation. You should stay away from both then.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I don't blame you. T-Mobile's customer service has been **** for me too. First they tell me I can exchange it at the store only to have the store tell me no, sorry you have to ship it back. Then they make me pay for shipping, too. As far as the G2 goes, it broke while in my pocket, so no thanks. Maybe they'll rework the hinges soon. Otherwise, I'm just gonna use this crappy ass G1 until the Desire HD comes around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tonyfate:
mines shut off this morning.. first, my on-screen Android Keyboard went missing.. so I shut it off, turned it back on. Then it asked me if I'd give access permission to Google App Engine?? Are they going to start monitoring my apps now?? Just asking? Don't know what that does.. anyways, so after that.. my G2 just sat there til I wen t to go check the time and my phone was off! tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't! So I took the battery out and rebooted. Its on now but this is the second time this week! And not to mention my hinges are starting to become an issue as well! Not cool! :( They need to bring the Desire HD over so I can replace my G2 with that! :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
Yeah it happen to my g2 as well. This phone is really not making my android experience any good. tmo need to address these issues ASAP, and i work for them!!! im going to check the "known issues" on the g2 when i get into work 2mrow and see wat is up with this.

i suggest you all who is having these issues to give tmo a call so they have enough calls from customers to generate a ticket with HTC and lvl3 techs to address these issues. Just because tmo is not on these forums and reading about customers issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] -FuRBz-:
my phone turned off yesterday and also this morning. idk if maybe me trying to snooze the alarm accidently turned it off so im putting my phone in a diff location tonight and checking tomorrow-- if its off tomorrow im calling tmo asap!
[G2 and Desire Z General] CaliLove310:
My G2 just shut off itself when I was replying to a text. I pulled the battery and reseated it and try turning on but it does not do anything. If I connect it to the charger, the orange charging led just flashes on and off. It's been 20 minutes and I have not been able to turn it back on.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cooboob:
OMG, the desire's symptom comes to G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] pimpmaneaton:
Mine as well.

Well my G2 just turned it self off as well today. It was unresponsive to the power button. Took battery out and re-installed and powered back on and has been working ever since but thats just not right.

Edit: Not sure if this is worth anything but this happened shortly after I put the market widget on my home. I've had Beautiful Widget running for a week so don't think that was the problem but not even sure if the market one caused it but thought it might be worth mentioning.
[G2 and Desire Z General] weber09:
Mine has also soft reboot back to the G2 screen 2 or 3 times now. Dunno what's going on

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Clackamas:
I have had this happen twice. In fact, my phone is in that state now. I am going to the TMO store. However, if I decide to return the phone, it isn't for this issue alone. As a side note, I thought this had happened to me with the TMO phone I was playing with in store before I bought mine.

If you take the battery out, wait about 10seconds, and re-install it you will be able to power the phone back up. Anyway, this behavior could be due to either a bad part or a driver problem.

*UPDATE*

Sadly, after talking to the TMO rep at the store, I elected to return the phone rather than exchange. While they wouldn't say how many, they have gotten "several" phones back because of this. My hats off to the Seattle TMO store as they made the return non-hassle and because I was returning it due to a defect, I didn't have to pay the restocking fee.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrkev150:
Sound advice, especially regarding the e39.

:cool:

[G2 and Desire Z General] genethebean33:
I had the same issue with my phones screen would just shut off and I would have to pull the battery out just to get it back on. I called tmobile and the answer I get is "that is not a known issue but def we will look into it". So all I did was go back to a tmobile store and trade it out for another one. Hopefully this won't happen again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AndroidNoober:
I had same problem last night, after removing the batt, phone works fine till now.. but im gonna go to tmo and try to change just in case... dont know if going back to my old phone again :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sousa-PR:
Last Night mine went Off , took the battery out for a couples of minutes and when I put it back it made a noise (like a short circuit) and turned on. Its working good after that but that was not supposed to happen. keep posting people...
[G2 and Desire Z General] magicducksauce:
Weird thing happened this morning...I used the alarm clock screen overnight, phone plugged in overnight, and when I unplugged it, it was showing 65% battery and it was extremely hot.

I thought it was a mistake so I rebooted but it showed the same thing.

My phone rebooted twice so far. Once in my pocket and once while using.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
have any of you guys try to perform a handset exchange? and if so did they give you a new g2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
Mine was surprisingly up for over 24h on a single charge for the first time (had around 40% battery left) on Friday when it just up and died. Unresponsive power button again (for the 2nd time since I got it). Removed the battery, replaced, turned back on and showed 40% battery still. Getting frustrated. Have 6 days left in the window to return, not sure if I'm going to try a replacement or just return it and wait for root before re-purchasing
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
did u purchase yours at a store or online/pre-order? if u purchased it at the store you can go back and get an exchange and let them know ur within ur buyer remorse and would like to exchange another G2 because this one has software issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
The local official T-Mobile store. Got it last Monday, so I have a few days still. Just haven't read anywhere of people who have this problem and get one replaced that doesn't still have the issue. Kind of under the impression they all do to a point so far...
[G2 and Desire Z General] [hfm]:
This happened to me yesterday. I forget what I was doing but I pulled it out of my pocket to a slightly dim G2 screen, didn't appear that it was going to recover from that so I pulled the battery and it's been fine since.

That pastebin thing is interesting.. I can't even find that app anywhere, did you guys install pastebin? I think I was getting a popup from photobucket from time to time that was annoying me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] [hfm]:
Hopefully fixable by OTA and not a hardware problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
i do notice i only get the reboots when i have no service. At my work because of the building I am in, I have no service at all and it would do the reboot.

i read somewhere that htc phones reboot if there is no service for a long periods of time for a self test.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I dropped into a local mall to have lunch and as I went in I checked the time on the G2 and all was well. Went by the T Mobile stand and chatted for a couple of moments they asked to see my G2 and I showed them and they remarked that they had not sold a one. they then tested it to see if I had a loose hinge and I did and do.Went on to lunch and after eating I walked out to my car and pulled the G2 out of my pocket and lo and behold a BLACK SCREEN I thought no problem and hit the power button and nothing happened I then held the power button in for a short time and still nothing. All the way driving home I kept trying the power button and still nothing. Upon arrival at home I pulled the battery hit the power button and it booted right back up. No rhyme or reason to it. I have had fluctuating signals from the start with this one as I did with the first one. It now seems to be functioning okay. The only bright spot is that I have a replacement that should have been here today but will not arrive until tomorrow on the way and I can send this one back. This is the first time this has happened to me in this manner and quite frankly I do not like it. I may just send the other one right back and get a refund. The one arriving will be my third one. Any and all comments or ideas are appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bust0ne:
had the phone for about 3 days and the screen no longer works. i used it at the airport waiting for my flight and when i arrived it was dead. this seems to be different from the issue you guys are having. resetting the battery did nothing. the phone shakes like it normally does when you boot it, but instead of the htc logo the screen stays black while the home/menu/back/search button and keyboard all light up. now im on a weekend vacation with a dead phone. is there anything i can try or do until monday when i return this for a vibrant? :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
ouch....so now ur on travel and without a phone...

i just sent my g2 back to tmo this morning and using my bb 9700 now miss this lil guy =P
[G2 and Desire Z General] sivalley:

my G2 suddenly turn off but i can easily turn it on without touching the battery, anyway, it's a serious problem :mad:. is there anyone try to use a brand new battery to solve this problem
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
i luv my g2 [/rant]
[G2 and Desire Z General] songsong69:
i luv my g2 too but she cheat on me :(:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Heulfryn:
the other day my G2 die on me too. I try remove battery still does not work.

so i took it to the store and see if they could exchange for me, the guy try again took out battery put it back in and plug in power cord and voila it work.

I though he would say i am crazy since the phone work fine, but then he said he had the same problem with his own phone too.

still don't know what is the issue, hope it won't die again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
I've had quite a few occasions where the screen on my Desire Z refuses to turn on, necessitating a battery pull. My suspicions at the time was that it had something to do with running an older version of juicedefender as it never did it if I had that program disabled. But that is just a theory. I haven't had it happen to me for several weeks during which time I installed a newer version of juicedefender and have also replaced the OEM battery with a Mugen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] songsong69:
in conclusion, this problem is caused be the hardware such as battery, not because of the rom we install ??
[G2 and Desire Z General] PPjev:
hello, no solution here, just to confirm the same issue, htc desire z, up to date, no root, no special software. after three weeks of working, it started to turn it self off. to turn it on i have to reinsert my battery. problem is that i will be in Stockholm for about 4 mounts, and i bought it in another country. I think there is no worldwide warranty for HTC, is that correct ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Milady_Odessa:
Happened to me this morning

So this happened to my Bell Desire Z this morning. It was just happily sitting on my desk and for no reason shut itself off. Could only turn it back on by removing the battery. This the second time it's happened, last time was about a month ago and I thought that maybe it was because it was so damn cold out here in Canada. ;)

Anyway I will be calling Bell to see what they can do about it. I hope the warranty covers it. Will post back when I get an answer.

Edit: Forgot to mention it's not rooted.

http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-G2/G2-Turning-off-by-itself/td-p/513575/page/4

There is a conductive metal strip along the back of the battery that looks like it may be shorting out. Check out the link for detailed fix with pics. I take no credit for this, just posting it since I'm experiencing this problem too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Doughnut:
I can rule that out as mine is not exposed and behaved the same way when I got it.

Perhaps its just a co-incident, but when I uninstalled my AP ON/OFF button, it stopped randomly turning off...

It hasnt crashed since...I use the settings to turn on/off AP...

Sadly I think its just one of those issues that will go unexplained with no fix :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] coykiam:
This has been happening to my phone too, Tmobile G2. I have the same sealed battery with no expose metal conductor. I think it has something to do a software installed, I just cant narrow it down. Either that or the phone is just a lemon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] poodlesmasher:
Possible solution???

HI i was plagued with this problem since two weeks ever since i bought this phone... yes the phone would shutdown on idle sometimes. i dont know if anyone has tried this solution yet..

but after Uninstalling AdvanceTask Killer and Unchecking the Fast Boot option my phone seems stable. The uptime shows 48 hours, which is the best ive got without the phone shutting on me yet... so 48 hours and counting.

Will keep you guys updated.

To uncheck Fastboot option - go to Settings > Applications > ...

I am on Froyo, no custom roms yet, if that helps anyone.

Goodluck!

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] poodlesmasher:
well that didnt workout either..

did last around 30 hours which is the longest till date.. but didnt workout.. ill try a factory reset an see.. also i taped around my battery.. still shuts down randomly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
A factory reset only wipes the user data stuff, have you actually reinstalled the whole system? (pc10img?) That way at least you can be sure it's not the system.
[G2 and Desire Z General] poodlesmasher:
Possible workaround!!!!

Alright so after reading a lotta forums i decided to test the following:

After a fresh power cycle i.e removing the battery and powering the phone. i did NOT use GPS and WIFI at all and voila - no shutdowns yetttt...:)

Uptime is 78 hours:29 mins and counting :D which is swweeeeeet! longest till now.

So it IS either of the two which is causing this grave problem. I really dont need googlemaps and have a data plan on my phone so dont need wifi either.

i guess i am good. Hope this helps.

Peace.
