[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phajen:
The other issue is your battery stats may be off if you did something odd during rooting. There are several ways to fix that, the generally accepted way is to charge the phone while its on, turn it off completly, then:

1: Unplug phone when light is green

2: Plug in the phone

3: Repeat 10-15 times
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outkastzgotti:
I had the same issue, and this is what I did to fix my battery.

1. let the phone die completely, IE when the phone cannot turn on at all anymore.

2.Leave the phone off, let it charge overnight.

3.Verify that the phone is at 100% by going into settings->about phone->status

4.Power the phone off.

5.Boot into recovery

6.Wipe battery stats.

This should fix the issue, if not then consider using a different rom/kernel combo. I myself am personally using CM7 and suffer maybe 40% drain at most with my phone in my pocket with a typical 12 hour shift at work.

**Also, turn 3G off if you aren't using the internet, facebook, or Gmail ect ect. You can still recieve phone calls and text messages using this method. I believe there used to be an option to only have 3G running when the screen is on but i'm not 100% sure if this is still available.**
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazzysandman:
Yeah like I did that crazy charge thing I read about where you let It die and it helped for a bit and now thing just goes down like 20% after 30mins of just sitting in my pocket
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr3torian:
I just installed I9000XWJS3 on my I9000T however I lost 850 band, I would like to know if is it safe to install JL2 Modem found on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906977

They have note in there that reads

"NOTE: If you have a Bell i9000M, do the following to (hopefully) prevent your internal SD card from dying:

1. Upgrade to JL2 using either Kies (recommended) or Odin (make sure to check Bootloader Update)."

Do I have to check Bootloader Update option since mine is a I9000T?

Also when going to menu *#1234# I got this

PDA: I9000XWJS3

PHONE:I9000XXJPY

CSC: Unknown

How can I fix CSC? which one is compatible with my current device settings?

Thanks in advance

So i'm thinking since that one guy on here sued tmobile and samsung about the vibrants lack of froyo thats why they rolled out the vibrants froyo. So people need to sue the other carriers along with samsung to get the other froyo updates released for the other phones!
[General Topics] xdeified:
The reason why there was the lawsuit was because Samsung was "holding the ota update to increase profits of the vibrant 4g". So there was the lawsuit for unfair business practices. Some phones are just not capable for the update.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thave174:
For certain actions, like opening a video file, the system prompts me for which application to use to complete the action. A check box in that dialog allows me to set that choice as a default action. If I have set a particular action to use a program by default, how can I break or change this association later? Example: I have car dock open with Google by default, but I want to go back to being prompted for the choice of Google or Locations again. Advice?

I am using Virtuous ROM 0.9.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All. Then find the app for which you want to remove the default setting on and scroll down to where it says "Launch by default" and hit clear defaults.

Next time you try to do that certain action it will ask you which app to use.

So how do you like the sprint coverage in your area. My contract is up and att has better coverage in my area. Anything bad about att. There new htc evo clone is coming out soon.
[EVO 4G General] RnFstRuckHrd:
If your poor sprint coverage is just a problem in your house you can let them know and they will send you an antenna that "piggy backs" off of your broadband. Will give you full bars in and around your house. But if your general region has bad signal a new carrier might be the answer.

What is this new AT&T evo clone you speak of?

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G rooted with unrEvoked, running the latest CM7 nightly build.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Whatever coverage is best is what you should get. Company perks and phones don't mean anything if you can't use it.

As far as comparisons - Sprint is cheaper and has yearly upgrades. AT&T was just voted worst in every state in the US on it's network. Verizon is first, Sprint is second and T-Mobile is third.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
The new htc phone is on att website. Its the same size as the evo with 16gb internal storage. It will also be able to use att lte whenever it rolls out.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
Verizon is big here also. Ill have to look into both. Verizon will have the thunderbolt soon
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
You know I like you, I'm not bashing. But I have to ask.. Amidst all the discussion about Sprint changing their "Premier" program why would you, of all people, be selling others on yearly upgrades when that is available only to people who have the most expensive plans..

smh @ Sprint

OP- imo, Sprint is still the best service provider. If you get a spring Sprint signal then stock with them, just don't get your hopes up on that annual upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Hah, that's the job of a salesman. I'm not saying you're going to get it, just saying that you have the possibility of getting it lol.

Im going to call them and ask them about this. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] Nefariouss:
Compatible with at&t lte? That's a ways off for them isn't it? They don't even offer hspa+ yet do they? Personally I hate at&t just for the dropped calls issue. Left sprint for the iphone 3g back in 08. And now that I'm back I enjoy being able to make calls with out dropping or no signal errors. Only person that I get disconnected with is my wife....who still has at&t.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
I love Sprint now that I have the Airave. When I moved to my new place, I had one bar if I was lucky, and it didn't make sense to walk out into the courtyard to make calls all the time. I just called to cancel due to lack of service, and was sent a free Airave. Set it up, and it's been the best thing ever.
[EVO 4G General] PryorDaniel:
OP, I just switched over from AT&T. My whole family has been on AT&T pretty much since they became a carrier. I've had their phones for at least 10 years. Loved my Tilt and Fuze to death but their service was horrible. My uncle has to drive 2 hours for work and would drop calls 4-5 times along the way. Since switching over to Sprint he's dropped none. I'd have the same call drop issue, even just sitting on my couch at home, no issue since coming to Sprint.

Also, just something an AT&T sales rep at a corporate store mentioned, AT&T is starting to worry about going out of business. From what the rep said, they're pretty sure most iPhone users will switch to Verizon once they get the phone. Mostly because of the poor customer service AT&T offers. Even the rep admitted that their way of looking at things was pretty much that they're the only carrier that offered the iPhone and could get away with the poor service since people wanted the phone so bad. Now with Verizon getting it, they're kind of SOL.

I don't know if the rep was just assuming things, or if that's something AT&T is truely concerned about. Either way, I won't be going back to them anytime soon - if ever.

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
I was playing with the way i plug the DVP to my computer. Only difference this time i was using a external powered USB hub which is then connected to PC. While doing so, the DVP re-booted and came to this screen. Has any one come across this?

View attachment 498186
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I have seen that once after plugging into the supplied ac adapter when my battery was almost dead. I think it happens when the phone thinks the battery is dead.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
nvr seen it. what di dyou do?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Its so weired :confused: I was unplugging and plugging back in a few times to see if it does again - it did actually. Then i was confusing this symbol with USB composite mode and started researching online. Then all of a sudden, zune opened up and all back to normal again.
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
I believe this only happens when there is a dead battery. It turns the phone on because it has to be powered on to charge properly but there is not enough power in the battery to run the os. It then allows a short charge cycle, then restarts and loads everything. That has been my experience with seeing that symbol. If you plug in the phone with a dead battery and try to turn the phone on, it will load this symbol until it charges for a few minutes, then it will allow you to turn it on.
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
I believe that symbol means its charging, and it doesn't yet have enough power to fully turn on. USB provides less power than a wall outlet, so it can't fully run off of a USB power source.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Thanks for the replies folks. For a moment, i thought we are onto something :)

But at-least this made me research and dig for any clues on my pc.

I was looking at the event log and error logs and came across a reference to VHD (Virtual Hard Drive). But, i am not sure if phone is set as a VHD and accessed by zune or its the emulator doing it. If you have WP7 development tools installed, do a search on your pc for '.vhd', you will come across one called '....NandFlash.vhd'. This will show up if you happen to have developed some app and done a run via the Visual Studio WP7 emulator. I did try to mount that VHD and it isn't allowing me.

When i looked at that file in Textpad/notepad/wordpad, it has many a info (registry and user info,etc). But, with my limited knowledge can't figure much.
[Venue Pro General] fatdragondzc:
Yea, you get that screen when you're phone is dead and trying to recharge. Also if you don't turn on the phone while charging, you can slide your DVP up. This will allow you to see the keyboard flashing to let you know it's charging. I don't know if anyone else found that but that's what it did for my DVP.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebong:
1.) From what I've read, CWM 2.x doesnt handle GB's ext4 partition, and you need 3.x for that. What will I lose/gain if I update to 3.x?

2.) If I do decide to use CWM 3.x, will I still be able to go back to my Froyo's file system?

3.) How do I get back to the nandroid backup of my Froyo 2.2.1? Can I use CWM 3.x as well? Do I just restore the backup I've made? What about the filesystem?

4.) Assuming I can just go back from GB to my Froyo by restoring through the nandroid backup I made, will the custom kernel I've flashed with it also come back with the restore?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spadival:
I have flashed back and forth between Froyo and GB ROMs using CWM 3.x. If it doesnt work, can't you always reflash CWM 2.x ?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
Anyone know a reason why after rebooting phone the media scan takes a very long time?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
It depends on how much you have on your sd card. The more you have the longer it takes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
I wonder what the ratio to time being done scanning is , because i only have maybe 2-3 gigs worth of media and it takes like 10 minutes to finish scanning media
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
It isn't just the size of the files. The number of files that it has to check matters too. If there are any folders that you don't need scanned, put a file called .nomedia in that folder and the scanner will skip that finder and it's subfolders.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
any way to find out what its scanning and where, or is it scanning the whole sd card?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
It scans the whole sd card, except for folders with the .nomedia file.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewey1973:
What is the purpose of the scan? If I put the .nomedia file in every directory what would happen?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Then it won't know where pictures are music are on your sdcard. For example, pictures in a folder with .nomedia will not show up in your gallery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewey1973:
So I can put .nomedia in many folders (like where apps are installed on the SD card) that I know no pics or music should be in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrown2680:
Exactly what type of file does the .nomedia file need to be?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
It doesn't matter. You can simply make it an empty text file. The media scanner just checks for a file with the name .nomedia. It doesn't care what kind of file it is.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxPatlick:
will the .nomedia thing stop winamp from trying to play mp3(turns out they were .ogg) files that are simply sounds to a game? The game is dungeon hunter and the question is nearly academic because I don't really like it and will probably uninstall it in the near future.. But still, I want winamp to play my music mp3s, which are all in a folder /music and nothing else..

meh, I can just try it and see before anyone even reads this and replies..

SUCCESS! no more "raw1385" in my winamp playlist :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edonnelly:
I think if you put .nomedia everywhere you will basically lose all functionality of gallery, etc. You may want to try "Rescan Media ROOT" from the market. It requires root, as you can tell from its name, but it lets you turn off the automatic media scanning and do it manually whenever you need (which is almost never in my case). That combined with judicious use of .nomedia has been wonderful.

I guess if you change what media is on your phone a lot, this will be less useful, but for me, it's saved a tremendous amount of time and helped convert my high-powered media-scanning device back into a phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominz28:
do you think that the type of sd card , like the stock one that came with the phone might be lower quality and take longer or is there one thats extreme high quality ?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
The sdcard included is only a class 2, but it has more than enough throughput for the media scan. You can get a class 4 or class 6 card, but I doubt it will make much of a difference in the amount of time the media scanner is running.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
My phone has been getting stuck often on the media scan process. Sometimes it get's stuck in the middle, sometimes it never stops. I recently reformatted my sd but the problem still exists. Also, I often have trouble mounting the sd in recovery. I'm using a class 6 8gb transcend which I've had for about a year or more. Is it possible my card is just going bad and is there a good way to tell?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
Its the phone for some reason when I was on di18 it was taking a very long time to scan after awhile it just got really short. Sorry I don't the exact reasoning but I re formatted my card and it didn't help.

FROZEN EPIC
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
I guess you could try a different card with the same files and see what the difference in scan time is. Or try them both freshly formatted and empty.

There are always ways to test.
