What about any other app requesting root? Like setCPU or ShootMe? I'd install one of those to confirm root. If it works then you might you need to reinstall TB if not well then root was not properly achieved.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontorres:
Thanks for the suggestions, will try those out and report back what happened.

Ok, so I did update BusyBox, and now Titanium Backup doesnt show the error, also installed Terminal Emulator when you launch it the 1st line of text says"

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$

On the 2nd line where the $ i typed SU and hit enter and it goes to the next line and displays # is this what its suppose to do?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricsim78:
Ok, here is some things for you to try.

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of TB.

2. Make sure you hit Problems? and download Busybox 1.60 (whether or not the ROM you have is using 1.60 or not, do it anyhow.)

I assume you did those two based on what I read. So here is what else to try.

Upgrade Superuser to the latest version, then update the binary. Make sure Titanium backup is not blocked by going to Superuser and there should be a green circle next to TB, if it is red that means it is blocked. If it still doesn't work, remove it from Superuser and then have it ask for permissions again.

If STILL not working, take out your battery for around 10 seconds, plug it back in and try again. Lastly, uninstall and reinstall TB then do these steps all over again.

That is a bunch of stuff to try, see what happens and hope this helps :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timdsmith72:
That's exactly what it's supposed to do. $ is the prompt you get when you are a regular user. You get # when you are root.

If you type 'id' (without the quotes) now, you should get:

uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontorres:
I launched Superuser, the one with the little niña guy, and it showed TB and the emulator both with green on the right side, but no idea how to "update" superuser, seeing as all appears to be ok should I still update it? If so, hoe would I do that? If not then I guess now my next step s finding the best 2.2 ROM that still keeps HTC Sense, any recommendations?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontorres:
the prompt b4 I typed anything was $, after typing SU and enter it went to #
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timdsmith72:
Yep. That's what is supposed to happen. You are root when you have the # prompt.

Problem

I just flashed CM 7.1 stable version, i cant launched TB couldt aquire root privileges i read this post and typed SU in the terminal emulator and it came up with a $ sign. So that means im not rooted?

Any cure to get my phone rooted again but i want to keep CM 7.1 what should i do?

[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
Here at work I don't have the best (strongest) 3G signal which tends to kill my battery throughout the day.

A long time ago to help with this, I took a spare laptop and used it to setup an Ad-Hoc wireless network. If you don't follow, what that means is the laptop has a wired ethernet internet connection, and then using the wireless card in the laptop it functions as a wireless router that other devices can connect to via wi-fi for internet access.

Before the Epic I had a Touch Pro running Windows Mobile and it worked great. With the Epic, I haven't been able to get it to work yet.

If I turn on wi-fi, Android's built in menu that shows you the available wireless networks doesn't find the Ad-Hoc network I have setup.

Using an app from the Market called "WifiScanner" I can see the network, but when I click (touch) on it to connect it takes me back to the Android wireless management which for some reason can't connect/see the network.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

**Edit**

After doing some Googling, it seems that Android doesn't natively support Ad-Hoc wireless networks. How stupid. I may explore editing some of the files a few sites list to enable it.

**Edit**
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
This is not ideal but can't you put a wifi router before the pc? I hope your work allows it.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Android O.S does not support connecting to Adhoc wireless networks. :(

Hello my fellow Android Brothers/ Sisters! (If i am posting this in the wrong place, please forgive me) lol

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and say Hello to all the Great + Geniuses here. I am a proud owner of the Samsung Captivate for 3 months now, as well as I am new to the Android OS. I must say, this phone is a phone in which only Gods speak of....lol. I would also like to Thank ALL the Devs for their hard work, donations coming soon :D

Att has been my primary provider for years now. So far....eh....lol.

More importantly, I have only managed to root + lag fix my little cappy, nothing major. After hours + days+ of reading online (forums / google) about the OS, etc., i decided to go for it (2 months) mind you. Anyways, I am looking forward to experiencing more with this pure awesomeness. As reminder, I am a bit of a Noob starting off .....did i say that out loud....FML. Thanks for your time everyone!

TO ANDROID!
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
thiis thing dies on me really quick, at home not as bad when I'm on wifi, but i left this morning from my house, and by the time I got to work 45 minutes later i'm at like 90% and i've done nothing on the phone, not a thing, no text, no voice calls. time without signal is 0.

then of course I get to work and time without signal jumps to like 22%, but still, my blackberry didn't go dead in half a day. i'm running the mixup undervolted kernal and the epic experience rom.

I do run gps and normal phone settings but turning them off is really not an option, especially for my wife that just needs a phone that works and isn't dead before she is out of work, and she doesn't even use the phone.

am I doing something wrong or is the battery life really this crappy?

and it was worse before the new kernal on DI18, and way worse before that.
[Epic 4G General] <3me:
i use the same set up i got 10 hours under pretty use

try turning gps off at work
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
So what are you leaving on? 4g? Gps? WiFi? I found that using black wallpaper helps.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
wifi and gps are always on, it seems its TWS that is killing it. at like 22% right now. battery is down to 83% right now 2 hours off charger. no voice calls or text calls.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
If you are getting a tws of 50% then put your phone into airplane mode for about 10 seconds and then switch it back, you will see a dramatic decease in tws
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Here's a few things you can do ...

1) If you have Sprint service in most places, turn off roaming (Settings, Call settings, System select, Sprint). This will disable roaming period so that all roaming services are disabled (i.e. you won't ever see the data roaming guard).

2) Download JuiceDefender beta (this turns off all data, i.e. Wifi / 3G, whenever your phone's screen is off, if you purchase UltimateJuice with it, you can schedule it however you want, and you can choose to allow some apps to always allow data to go through). This saves me a LOT of battery since my screen is usually off.

3) Try the TWS hack mentioned in the earlier post, it should be fixed in DI18, but some people are still seeing high numbers there.

4) If you're rooted, get an app like Autostarts and disable the DRM service from ever running. This was found to be a battery killer.

The biggest battery drainer of them all is the GPS, and then 3G. If you can minimize your uses with those, you will maximize battery life. Also, use Wifi in areas that have it because Wifi hardly drains battery at all compared to 3G. I haven't seen any kernel really that gets much more battery life than stock, so doing these things will help. I love the Epic, but the battery life is a real downer for me too. I've gotten a full day's use (medium use) at times, while some days it hardly lasts at all.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Yes do the airplane mode trick and turn off gps if you are not using it and DO NOT USE JUICE DEFENDER i get 45 hours battery life without it. that app runs constantly in the background and uses more battery. Juice defender is for lazy people that dont know how to find these data and sync settings that are already on the phone or you can download an app that will let you toggle whatever setting you need. Set emails to sync once an hour and if it is really a priority then go into the email account and push refresh.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
If you are really getting 45 hours of battery while actually using your phone then will you please share all of the settings that you have that give you this kind of battery life
[Epic 4G General] us3rX:
Use SetCPU, it will turn down the processor while the screen is off. Helped alot with battery life. =)
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
I wondered if that would do anything. Considering how AMOLED works, dark themes and wallpapers *should* help battery life similar to reducing brightness.
[Epic 4G General] Forcystos:
Auto-Sync does some mean damage if your settings are too frequent, too. Try not to use Facebook/Twitter/Myspace integration, if possible, or disable them from syncing automatically, and sync them yourself when you feel the need.
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
Okay I don't know exactly what I did/didn't do but my battery problem seems to be greatly improved. Lets start with my details. Before 2 days ago. No matter what my use my battery drain would be approx 6-8% an hour. If I took my phone off the charger at 11am by 4pm I would be around 60%. GPS/4g/wifi off. Screen brightness set to lowest. tws not too bad. Using both the tws trick and drm stopped. Usually 2 or 3 phone calls 5-10 texts 5-10 minutes of browsing. I had a task killer installed but never used it to kill tasks just as an app switcher. Even after the di18 update no major difference. So the other day I downloaded an app called system panel. Another task manager. I deleted the task killer widget on my home page but no the app. The first day I took my phone off the charger used it for about an hour then put it back on the charger for about 15 minutes. When I took it off the charger it was at 96%. I opened system panel and killed all apps (necessary services/apps restarted immediately) did tws trick and drm kill. Same use as always after 8 hours my battery was at 80% a 16% drop. That's 2% an hour. The next day I deleted my task killer and over the same period of time I went from 96% to 83% (13% lose over 8 hrs) Only a little over 1% lose an hour. The only difference that I am aware of was the deletion of the task killer widget and then the app completely.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Ditto, I'd like to hear what you're doing too ... even when I do not TOUCH the phone, I cannot get 45 hours. I think you're being a bit optimistic here.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Lmao No. Since di18 it has been great. I use my phone for a lot of stuff too. I have a live wall paper and rss feeds that update. email is set to once an hour. Now dont get me wrong if i play a game then it will suck my battery pretty good like 5% for ten minutes. i have a widget for sync settings. im rooted with ALL SPRINT apps removed i think thats the biggest thing. dont leave gps or other on if you are not using it. i do not have drm removed. i use full brightness. i talk a few times a day and dozens of text and web surfing. no juice defender or task killers. The object for me was to not have any unneccessary stuff run when it doesnt need to. so the phone is set to come alive when the screen is on not off. Check ALL APP and WIDGET SETTINGS FOR HOW OFTEN THEY UPDATE. I DO MEAN ALL. GO THROUGH EVERY APP AND CHECK THEIR SETTINGS ALSO the biggest drain is make sure you sign out gtalk or it will just constantly run. I shoulda posted my screen shot of battery life earlier sorry i will as soon as it reads 1d21h again. prolly tomorrow afternoon.... Rooted,cwm,galaxy rom and kernel, blue minimalism theme
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
i do the airplane trick, problem is it seems,when im on wifi, the life is great, battery is perfect, as soon as you go to 3g, it goes to crap, plus the service where I work is spotty as well. I don't know what to do, seriously I can't go through 2 years of great cell service that I can't use because the battery is dead. I mean if I could get through 10 hours it wouldn't be bad, but as it is now, i'm lucky to squeak through about 8 hours. and I have the mixup kernal that is undervolted and supposedly already messing around with the cpu. usually on 3g, no matter where I am pretty much I"m at like 10-20% TWS.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
tws is 50% for me. just stop the data with sync settings then it has no reason to draw more. my house and school have terrible service. you are only losing battery life due to data that is going really slow and it takes way more battery to accomplish. i keep wifi on all nite at my house but my sync settings are off. i do this so its not searching for 3g because i have an airrave and wifi. i used the di07 mixup and was not happy with it. galaxy roms have been the least buggy and very stable with the best battery life. That might be my opinion but also genius dog doesnt have an epic yet so i cant trust his stuff when he cant see the impacts with the kernels he is making. but he does know code i will tell you that.
[Epic 4G General] akei1:
Holy crap 8 hour battery life is really bad.

Do you have any apps syncing? A weak signal with an app syncing can have a devastating effect on the battery life.

In my school building I get 0-1 signal bars and once I use the stock email app to sync my email every hour with 3G on my battery life is probably a third as good.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
How?

sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
only thing syncing is gmail, I refuse to stop syncing my email, otherwise whats the point of the phone? my blackberry could do push no problem, the iphone could do push no problem.
[Epic 4G General] akei1:
Inside my building where I get a weak signal I turn off 3G and use the wifi to sync my apps regularly. I get a good wifi signal there.

If I can't get a good 3G signal in the building than there's not much I can do to my phone to make the 3G signal better (I think that's the cause for the battery drain).
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Look at above post
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Why have it sync when you can just open it when you want to and push refresh. I highly doubt any email is an important as a phone call but if it is then set it to once an hour
[Epic 4G General] akei1:
I think that's the best why to go. Manually check/refresh your email using a weak 3G signal, or regularly syncing your email using a good wifi/3G connection.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
the only thing syncing for me is k9 mail and 3 gmail accounts

all are push

idle i get about 2% per hr

but all goes down hill once i surf etc but its ok i got 2 more batteries and chargers for work home and car and other homes

Hey all. Need help as usual. I "rooted" using unrekoved3. I'm a mac user and that's the reason i chose unrevoked. But now I'm thinking i should have jusr rooted from a pc. I dont think i have full rooy. Heres what i did.

1. Download unrevoked3 for mac. Opened file, ran program, rooted phone.

2. Downloaded titanium backup. Performed a full user/data and app backup.

3. Downloaded busybox.

4. Downloaded rom manager. Clicked clockwork option.

5. Downloaded terminal emulator

Verified root by typing SU, got #.

6. Accessed superuser permission app.

7. Downloaded setcpu.

8. Downloaded root manager.

I never ran a pc36img file on the phone. When i go into bootloader and try to do a nand, the screen stays on htc evo 4g white screen. When i enter bootloader, some text flashes for a second that says pc36diag.zip and pc36nbh.zip... no Image! I think i missed a step.

I had 2.2 before root, thats why i chose unrevoked3. I am thinking about unrooting but i dont know how to on a mac. It seems i need to download htc sync which there are no links for a mac.

I dont know what to do. Should i unroot on a pc and reroot using a better method? Im driving to va, currently in TN. Ill be mobile so please reply and or msg me on gtalk: truslide@gmail.com. thanks guys

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TruSlide:
i tried doing that. the phone wont go into recovery mode. it just stays on the white htc evo 4g screen. the exact message i get when i go into bootloader is this...

sd checking...

loading... [pc36imgdiag.zip]

no image!

loading... [pc36diag.nbh.zip]

no image or wrong image!

loading... [pc36img.zip]

no image!

loading... [pc36img.nbh]

no image or wrong image!

then it goes back to the bootloader screen, if i select power down it will boot normal. if i select recovery, it freezes on white screen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonzo888:
I'm a total noob to EVO and I am getting the same result too...

Altough I rooted via PC. I was on 2.2 stock from the box and I used unrevoked3 as well. Everything seemed to be OK and I showed root and S-OFF but after downloading ROMManager and trying to do a nand backup, I keep getting this same message during bootup. If I let it do its thing, the phone seems to work OK... but I don't think I have root anymore. I tried to load wireless tether and it tells me that I need root, so I assume I am no longer rooted.

Could it be that I need to load a recovery onto SD? I'm gonna try and do unrevoked3 again and see if it will give me root again... :p

EDIT: when I try to go to recovery, I get the black screen with the red circle and ! and it doesn't do anything. I have to do a battery pull.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
hah funny story, IT IS SUPPOSED TO FLASH THAT TEXT. this is the phone checking itself for a manual update. i have no idea why you cant go into recovery. try reflashing with rom manager again, but this time, i would reccomend the alternate recovery (amon ra)

what do I do, put amon ra on the sd?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95gsrsedan:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026 recovery thread

im personally not a big fan of clockwork...

i prefer fastboot method, if you have a pc handy. need the tools folder of the android sdk and put the recovery file in the same directory as fastboot (should be /android sdk/tools unless you change install folders)

although you can flash recovery w/o pc using adb method. get astro or another file manager so you can move files around easily on /sdcard/ put the recovery file on the sd card and check if you have flash_image. if not, i have it attached and then just put it on the root of the sd card as well. then follow instructions on the recovery thread.

if you need the flash_image, go into the .zip and extract it to sd card root.

The size is ridiculous but its definitely not slow for me. The scrolling and zooming are very smooth. The address bar is awkward, you cant type something in without it brining up the whole bookmarks/history stuff, very annoying.

I really like the sync features. Having access to all the bookmarks on my PC is really convenient.

Its lacking a lot of settings and options though.

Overall I like it, but not good enough to replace other browsers yet.

I dont think that is for carrier OTA updates. If I remember correctly, a Rom cooker could add a xml file that Rom Manager could use to connect to a server to download a update. Kinda like the CM Updater app on the market.

Probably something to do with your APN settings. Some ROMS come with a huge list of em with correct settings for different providers, which I assume your non-stock ROM has. Check out your service providers website for the correct APN details, or just phone them up and ask.
