[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDave1022:
Try a 3rd party service center. Thats where I took mine and had no problems getting a new one ordered. They didnt even ask for me to show them the problem. I was able to get mine to reboot by just running sprint tv for about 10 minutes
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BB15:
Go to a different Sprint repair center and don't even bother talking to one of the sales dorks, ask to speak to a manager straight away. Explain to them that you've spoken to both Sprint and HTC, that you've done a data reset, etc...If you can get it to reboot while you have them that's all the better.

Both Sprint and HTC have acknowledged that this is a problem with the phones, not any 3rd party apps (like they're trying to tell people). Just express frustration and if they do (another) data reset don't leave until you can reproduce the problem and show them that it isn't fixed.

It took me about an hour and a half at the Sprint store, but once they realized I wasn't going away without a solution they put in the order for the new device at no charge. I got my phone replaced for nothing without having TEP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agilevic:
How to backup before hard reset?

Sorry that this is a bit off topic but I thought it would be helpful for others who are facing having to do hard reset to show Sprint that it won't help. Could you post links to a backup app that can preserve the following in order of importance:

- Contacts (without having to send them to Google)

- Contact links (I spent a lot of time to avoid duplicates)

- Contact groups

- Calendar entries (without needing full MS Outlook)

- Application data (for selected applications)

- Account settings (Email, Google, Twitter, Facebook)

- Call records

- Downloaded voice mails (not critical)

- HTC Sense scenes (nice to have but not important)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubastevestahl:
ok i have had my evo for 2 months now. no problems whatsoever. rooted it last night with Unrevoked and used miui for my rom. phone works great when I'm using it but if I let it lock after about 2 mins it reboots. and will continue to reboot randomly unless I unlock it and use it. once it goes to sleep and locks it starts doing it again.

my thought is it has to do with the screen being off. cuz when you answer a phone call as u put the phone to your ear it shuts off the screen so u don't press any buttons when u put the phone to your face. the phone will reboot then as well.

ANY SUGGESTIONS GREATLY APPRICIATED.

edit: sense the issue has started my phones battery life is gone. phone went from.75% to 50% in 10 minutes. off the charger for an hour and my phone is dead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDave1022:
Do a nandroid backup and try another rom would be my first suggestion. See if you have the same behavior.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajolishot:
I have a 1 week old Evo that is 004 hardware.

It rebooted while I was on a voice call, and the 4g radio & GPS radio were running Navigation.

My launch day Evo suffered from this as well, so the problem is still there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDave1022:
I think it's just a matter of getting lucky and getting a good working Evo. Seems to not matter what hardware version, HTC has something wrong and hasnt fixed it 6 months later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zameus:
So the conclusion here is that its a known hardware problem and the fix is to return it back for a replacement? I'm having the same problems. Reboots while on the net or watching video via stream or you tube.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellgod77:
is there a way to mod the phone just to totaly disable what ever service detects the temp for the cpu, so it will not restart, or just write a app that lies to it and makes it think its the same all the time?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:


I don't believe It's a heat issue. My girls Evo will do it when she's not using anything at all. Hers is totally stock. Unmodified. Mine gets to 47 deg C, when tethering and charging, never had a reboot (knocking on wood)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agilevic:
@k2buckley could you post what is your phone's hardware version and (while you are at it) also all software versions

thanks!
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Title. Also will there be an unlocked version that could be used on AT&T in the US. This si my most wanted WP7 phone, but I don't want T-mobile. If it's a temp exclusive I may get a Focus or Surround and pick up a Venue down the road. Or keep rocking my iPhone until it releases on AT&T.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I'm pretty sure it'll be a temporary exclusive, but don't quote me on that. I dunno about unlocked versions.

There really hasn't been much info at all about this device. Start to frustrate a lot of people, including me.
[Venue Pro General] Made2Last:
If tmo had 3g in my area i would be getting this phone. But i am on at&t. I am leaning towards the focus, but if there is any hope of it on at&t I would hold out.
[Venue Pro General] c_legaspi:
yeah im looking forward to it if it comes to att
[Venue Pro General] Tempest790:
I would hold out for this too for AT&T. I don't really care for their current WinPhone 7 lineup. My only other hope is the HD7 Pro that should be going to Sprint and Europe next year. An European version means GSM so AT&T should come out with a version of it I would think. I just hope it doesn't take them a whole year!

The specs of the Dell version seems to the best of the lineup. Since WinPhone 7 isn't really landscape friendly right now anyway, a portrait slider fits the bill.
[Venue Pro General] kapanak:
I am in the same boat as all of you. In Canada, all providers (except WIND, which has horrible coverage) use the same bands as AT&T. So I need any phone I buy to have 850/1900/(2100 for trips), and the contract terms in Canada are so terrible, that I always buy unlocked. So, any news regarding a Dell Venue Pro being released as unlocked with AT&T bands is good news. Dell Streak was released like that on Dell's site, so here to hoping...
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
When I first saw the 7 Pro, I assumed it would be for AT&T. Successor to the Touch Pro 2... Shocked to see it for Sprint.
[Venue Pro General] Super Chimp:
It seems like it isn't going to be tied to one particular operator in the UK, but I expect we will know for certain after its launch on the Monday.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Bye, bye HTC Surround, the one I wanted the whole time is on it's way to me!!!:D
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
Just a thought for you. When i get my replacement I'm actually running on Mobilicity because they do the same 1700/2100 frequency as AT&T in the states. Granted it's a total pain to get the DVP up here but if your in any of the cities with mobilicity, i'd recomend them for the DVP and they have the most important thing of all!

UNLIMITED DATA, no caps, no speed restrictions! and it's a ten dollar addon to the most basic plan.

Just a thought.

Please note i ment T-mobile not AT&T
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Hi There!

I want to stop my i9000 syncing contacts with my GMAIL Account. In fact I want to turn off email and calendar syncing as well. I run Stock ROM.

Also how do I turn off the sweep glass, and change it for something like a pull down like on the htc mini?

Where can I find the settings for the ADW Launcher, seems good in some ways but limited in others. I can't create a shortcut to contacts for example.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allotrios:
disconnect from internet wifi etc

settings

accounts and sync

make sure background data and auto sync are ticked

tap on your gmail account

untick contacts and calendar, leave mail ticked

exit and re-enable internet wifi etc

not sure about the other two requests... I use a lock pattern for unlock
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
What is a lock pattern?

I have done that as per your instructions thank you. That worked.

Can I also know how I can make sync occur over wifi if available? Better still sync every 5 minutes on wifi, and manually on 3g? Also how do I turn off 3g?

Ahhh crap, my server doesn't has a certificate. Palm Pre was just like this on release, didn't have the option to ignore. Microsoft will hopefully update it in the future.

Try converting the ringtones to wav, then increase the volume and save as mp3 again. Could work...

With a DHD i would just open the web browser and click on a bookmark to my hotmail a/c why sync it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheau:
It seems to be a hardware problem rather than software or Android problem Did you remember if your HD has fallen in the last days? Try to make it work in Windows or try to hard reset your Phone if everything goes wrong. Maybe you are lucky. With my previous phone I had similar problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundclub:
it isnt a hardware-problem, in windows mobile is no problem, i have tried the last 30 minutes without freeze

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zackadavis:
I am having the same problem myself!

Whenever I use the red power button, whether it is for waking up out of standby or using a long press to activate the Phone Options menu, the touch screen stops working.

I have found that waking up the phone, then quickly putting it back to sleep and waking it up again gives me about a 90% chance of it working. So I have to press the power button 3 times in quick succession to wake up my phone now.

I hope I won't have any serious long term effects on my phone, but I'm definitely going to be talking to HTC and T-Mobile about this soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creamy72:
it happenned with me also when im using 16 gb memory that come from the phone. but when im using smaller one (8gb class 2), it work fine. maybe 16 gb took long time to read.my suggestion try it with smaller capacity or you can buy new one with higher class(6 or maybe 10)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evagundan:
I think it's due to the G Sensor. I have meet this before and have some test on my HD2. I found that if some application running on G Sensor, it may cause the freeze, ie GPS, Google Map， Compass. I am not sure this is due to my setting.

I shut down the G Sensor by Gscript and the script below found in XDA and seems this help. I hope this can help you too.

1. Create a script name 'Stop'.

SU is required, input

mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd2

killall akmd

save this script and run, it will shut down the G Sensor.

2. Create a script name 'Start'

SU is required, input

mv /system/bin/akmd2 /system/bin/akmd

/system/bin/akmd

save this script, and you can run this to restart the G Sensor while u need it again.

I dont' know whether there is some widget or application to control the G Sensor better, but you can try this first to check if G Sensor cause this problem.

I found if shut down G Sensor, the GPS won't work. If anyone have idea how to make GPS work without G Sensor please advice.

Same problem here. All ROMS based on HTC Sense freeze. Press the turn off button once and wait for 5 or 10 mins, and then the phone doesn't come back from lock anymore. This issue doesn't seem to be happening with any Nexus one Roms.

I have tried all possible solution, WM roms change, SetCpu, etc...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evagundan:
If press turn off button while it's freeze, it's hard to come back from lock. While it's not freeze, press any key while the phone is locked, if the screen is not come back, I still can touch the screen and the unlocked screen will be come back again.

I think it's a problem that the screen won't turn on immediately after we press the button, but at that moment, the phone can receive our control by touch the screen. If it's freeze, touch screen is not work, so keep dark. But if it's not freeze, the screen will be on. So I think it's the problem to solve the freeze problem.

I really like the protection that invisible shield provides but I hate the feeling of it, kind of like the skin of an apple. On the other hand, I like the feel of the anti-glare protection but I don't like that it is prone to scratches and scuffs. What screen protectors are there that you think are great?
[EVO 4G General] bender1077:
I've had my EVO since launch without a screen protector and I don't have any scratches. All natural is the best.
[EVO 4G General] erikivy:
Since you're asking for opinions, I'll give mine. :) I've had Ghost Armour on mine for the last couple of months and really like it. If my hands are moist (sweat, water, whatever), there is increased resistance, which feels weird. I suspect, however, that would be the case with most protectors out there. And who makes a habit of handling their phone with wet hands anyway? I will also note that it took at least two weeks for it to completely dry and not look kinda foggy in places. Now however, it looks great.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
The one that comes with otterbox product works great. No bubbles on installation and feels smooooth, unlike invisibleshild.

I got the shield by zagg. My fiancée got one for her captivate and had some fart knocker at best buy put it on and its feels really rubbery and looks hazy. i got one and put it on myself it took me awhile cause of course i had to have it perfect and after it dried it feels great. you can barely notice it.

[EVO 4G General] MattSkeet:
Martin fields screen protector. Works pretty well for me. If its dirty you can wash it under the tap (seriously) and it will stick back again. Quite thick but has got a nice feel. Installation is do easy that monkey could do it. If you fail un peal it and stick it back again and again and again. (washed mine about 10 times and it still sticks like brand new). They don't use glue on it...
[EVO 4G General] chaoszepp:
Steinheil AF.

This one seems great but I'm alsao wondering about how it lowers the display quality because my friend has an anti-glare protector and it is noticeable that the quality is not as good as the invisible shield.

Also, the feel of the ghost armor looks similar to the invisible shield

I do prefer anti-glare, anti-fingerprints & less sweat resistance so that sounds like what I'm looking for, it still looks good on the EVO (any application issues, how long has it been on)?

Did you get it from:

http://cretouch.com/steinheil-anti-fingerprint-protection-film-p-732.html (2 for $12)

Sprint sells Custom Screen Protectors shields (Pack includes 2 regular and 1 anti-glare screen protectors) curious if anyone tried that anti-glare?
[EVO 4G General] akrod2as:
I just went from a zagg (very rubbery until a lot of use) to the one that came with my otterbox commuter. The one included is immensely more glassy with the downside of less anti glare. Either way much easier to apply then the zagg.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
+1 more for Steinheil

I have the crystal clear and it is way better then the Zaggs best buy sells. It doesn't smear as bad as some others and can be scratched but you get two of them so you can always replace it. Scratches also seem to fade after awhile.
[EVO 4G General] kzibart:
I just installed the BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal and so far I'm really liking it. I had one for my HTC Touch back in the day, and it held up great. The Crystal is supposed to be basically invisible, and I thought it was really living up to its name immediately after installing it. But in reality, when I peeled off the outer cover after installation, I accidentally peeled off the entire thing. No wonder it looked so great! After realizing what I had done, I fished it out of the garbage, washed it off with soap and water, and applied it again. It still turned out great. I'll be installing one on my wife's Epic tonight, and I won't make the same mistake twice!
[EVO 4G General] sprink0281:
none! You dont need a screen protector. The glass is virtually scratch proof. Some one had a post on this board with a link to a video that had someone taking a razor to the screen and it didnt leave a single mark. Do what ya want but why waste the $ for something that is not needed.....
[EVO 4G General] tonyz2897:
Application was a snap, it went on right the first time. I made sure the phone and work area were really clean, so no dust to deal with. I also applied it from the side instead of starting at the top. That made it loads easier to keep it lined up. Ended up with no bubbles, and what I'd consider a flawless install. It's been on since the first part of September and still looks really good considering the abuse it's seen. I work in a coal fired power plant so it's constantly coming into contact with abrasive dust/ash/metal particles from my fingers. I'll probably get another month, maybe two out of it and then throw on the second one. I expect they would last much longer in a cleaner environment. I ordered it on Amazon.

Oh, and the people claiming the screen won't scratch aren't trying hard enough. Shortly after I got my Evo before I'd even had a chance to decide which case and screen protector to buy it slipped out of my shirt pocket when I bent down to retrieve my dropped car keys. It ended up sliding on it's screen a few feet down a concrete driveway. I was really impressed with how minor the damage was, but there were noticeable scratches. On the bright side, they're completely invisible with the screen protector on.
