[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
you get the little home lights on the bottom of the phone to light up at least?

Also.. does the computer recognize the device?

If not and it's completely black screen and you don't even feel it vibrate while booting? Its toast.

But.. try doing the battery/sim card pull - hold down both volume buttons plug in the USB and jam in the batter and see if that works.

Or.. to the ATT warranty center you shall go.

try charging the phone for a few hours, if possible try a different battery.

also you may be in download mode with a black screen. i had a bad crash once from too much overclock or a corrupted kernel flash with the manhatten project 1.6ghz kernel. it corrupted the image files for bootup and download mode, my startup screen was garbage and had a black screen for download mode. but download mode still worked. start odin, it may still show device connected.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaMastachief:
Hello,

I have a strange problem with my HTC Hero GSM, no SIM lock running either stock 2.1 with latest OTA, or rooted in VillainRom 12.

When I use my phone the touchscreen randomly becomes totally unresponsive at all or it marks things on the bottom when I press the screen in the upper half. This is very frustrating when you want to write messages or just want to navigate through webpages or a menu. When they keyboard is active it starts warping between letters and I have to turn off the screen and turn it on again in order to be able to continue writing on it. It works for a random amount of time and then starts acting on its own again.

During surfing I've also noticed that it randomly started to pinch-to-zoom in and out when trying to scroll with my finger up and down. It also breaks the scrolling inside menus and kinda lets the slide movement getting stuck and bouncing back at random spots.

All in all it's totally frustrating, because I treat my phones really good and don't throw em around or abuse em in any other way. My warranty is also already over that's why I tried to root my phone to find out if this still persists in other roms.

I rooted my phone with UniversalAndroot.apk and used recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img in order to be able to flash custom roms.

I have also tried FroydVillain 1.6.1, Floyo 1.1.9. and Froyo 2.2 and while running these roms I had no problems at all with my screen being unresponsive or not reacting at all.

All those roms are really very very nice and I'd also like to thank the developers for their great job. I was astonished what my Hero can do and how much it still rocks. But I miss HTC Sense, because I'm used to it for more than a year now and I just don't want to work without it. I know it's not perfectly coded and costs some performance, but to my knowledge there ain't anything on the market that comes close to the fancy widgets and addons.

I would really highly appreciate if you have any idea what I could do in order to get a 2.1 rom with HTC Sense up and running properly.

I don't want to buy a new phone yet, because I want to wait for the new Nexus S. Yeah I know it will not have HTC Sense, but I don't want to wait for any update for more than a year again. ;)

Thanks in advance for your kind help and assistance in this matter.

Cheers!

Installed the "official" update that was hosted on Google's servers, which worked like a charm... but...

The camera won't boot up? The phone doesn't seem to be running any faster thus far, even after moving all possible applications to the SD card. Also, the gallery shows no images.

When I hold down the camera button, or select the camera application, the phone vibrates once (to tell you the camera's booting up), the screen turns black, vibrates three times quickly, and flashes the force close screen instantaneously and returns to the home screen.

Hmmm....
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
I almost forgot to add: I still have the Touchwiz default issue, that is, the OS prompting me to set a default every so often when I hit the home button. I think I might have to wipe the phone.

I had similar problems so I wiped and did a clean install with Odin and now it works great!

[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
i would suggest odining back to DI18 then odining http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209 see if this fixes your problems, i have 0 bugs with DK28.
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
After the factory reset, everything is working okay. I noticed that some of the prompts have strange translations, particularly when accessing the Firmware Updater under the Camera's setting menu: "It will occur additional fee. Will you continue?" The functionality is debatable at this point considering it runs into an error upon updating. Hm.

I will try Odin some other time when I have a few hours to brush up on flashing. I am not very familiar with hacking mobile phones in general, so I want to be better acquainted with the process before I dive into it. But a lag fix and bloatware delete are certainly in this phone's future!
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Browser is really buggy for me. It takes up 70MB of RAM on start up and has the terrible checker boards effect.

GPS works perfectly for me on DK17 and 28.

However, it may be that I restored my data partition from a backup I made from DK17. I'll try running a factory reset and we'll see what happens.

[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
I've still had some issues with the back button being unresponsive, perhaps to a lesser extent since Froyo, but I have gotten so used to it I can hardly acknowledge the problem based on recollection of testing the phone.

However, I noticed the Quadrant scores are very disappointing in both my own test and in user comments. I can't wait to root and lagfix this thing.

In addition, the physical keyboard still drops letters at random. It seems to have gotten worse since the update.

I did the exact same thing, but flashed my old DG27 to get my initial GPS fix in maps, then ODINed the new one.

You mean root and artificially increase your Quadrant scores for bragging rights? There is no lag fix on the epic. The only "lag fix" is a "game Quadrant scores" fix.

The only time that has happened to me, is when my screen went to sleep, because I had my m obile data unchecked. I have to force the screen to stay on during tethering.

[Epic 4G General] tonysohn:
It looks like the DRM service is draining the battery in Froyo like in Eclair.

I'm getting better battery life after disabling the service.

I'm surprised that nobody brought this up in a separate thread.

EDIT: I guess the thread mentioned above by decalex IS about this exact issue... sorry, missed that.

I've also heard from someone that deleting those apk's related to DRM will cause problemsin Froyo,

so I think it's better off just preventing the service from starting.

So I tried using the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app from the Market to disable the DRM service.

At first it seems to be working well, but after a while the omadrmserviceconfig starts up again.

Deleted the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app as soon as I found that out.

For the moment, I'm just disabling the DRM service manually (Settings -> Applications -> Running Services)

every time I do a reboot.

Anyone have any suggestion on automatically preventing the DRM service from starting?

BTW, thanks for your replies guys.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I'm on 2.1 still but I've been using startup auditor free from the market to stop this process at startup. It only allows you to block 5 apps with the free version but it has been working for me ever since I installed it.
[Epic 4G General] optimiss:
I used to disable the DRM service every time I rebooted but eventually I stopped because I got sick of doing it and my battery performance did not seem to take a hit. I am leaving it enabled on Froyo as well and get good battery life. Maybe the DRM bug only effects some phones.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
This seems to be the case. There was no noticeable decrease in battery performance on my phone in DI18 and Froyo.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
(I've posted this reply before on a similar thread, but I thought I'd share my 2 cents with you here...)

You're not the only one running into this issue.

I ended up rooting my Epic to get rid of all the sprint bloatware and what-not. Everything seemed to be going smooth from the stock standpoint. I removed Samsung Media hub first. Rebooted the phone and noticed nothing bad. Played around with the setup like that for a few days with no problems.

I next got rid of both the DRM service .apk's that were still running even after I got rid of the media hub... and then the problems started. For the first couple days I noticed DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED battery life and EXTRAORDINARY performance so I imagined what I did was a good thing: WRONG! A few days later, I noticed that if I assigned a sound to a notification or a ringtone *from the SD card*, that it would not work. I couldn't play sounds anymore and instead whenever I went to adjust the volume with said notes/tones selected, the Sound_service would crash.

However, I'm the only person I knew before now who has reported this issue so I'm sure there's not a lot of hubob to fix it. Every Epic is built different. Same parts or not. It's a mass-manufactured phone and each one will have its own quirks. There's my 2 cents. :P

So instead of deleteing the APK, if I just take it out of autostart, I assume that is OK???

ALSO, What the hell does it do??? lol
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I think DRM = Digital Rights Management. It is some kind of security service that is tied to the Market and anything Media related (on the Epic). You should get Titanium or Bloat Freezer from the Market and just freeze it. Don't delete or uninstall it.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
If DRM is set to not autostart when the device boots up, will it just load up the application when it needs it (for Market or Media)?
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Not Really. Has to do with how the Android system architecture works.

An app or service can register to handle certain "intents" that, when requested, will invoke an entry point into the apk, and run a portion of it to handle that task. Doesn't matter if the app is running or not for some other purpose.

You see this design in play when you try and play a video, and Android pops up a dialog letting you choose from several applications that can all complete that request. What's going on is that all those apps have registered with the system to handle that intent.

Remove an app entirely, and it's no longer available to service an intent that it may have been the only app registered to handle.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
That makes perfect and total sense. Thanks for shutting me up lol :cool:

So forgive me for sounding quantum-like here... But how can I get rid of an "intent" in the android system? ...so that the system isn't expecting anything to be registered to it?

Or is this question the big mystery surrounding this issue?

If I freeze this app, doesn't it keep the system from seeing and booting it the same way uninstalling it does? Isn't the only difference that freezing it keeps it on rom?
