I have the same problem when calling between my two Thunderbolts. I should try tango on my Xoom + Thunderbolt together and see if it works better, because it's unusable between my Thunderbolts. The audio cuts out horribly (though the video is okay with good lighting).

it works fine between mine and wifes thunderbolt i had a problem at first because the screen where it said register or skip, i skipped than the call would go through but she would not receive it so you have to do the text register and email register and it works fine now

My wife and I have the same problems and I also ran into it when trying to do a video call with her uncle who has an Evo.

Hopefully Tango gets an update to fix this problem.

Tango is very buggy! my girl friend who owns an evo try to call me several times and the call didnt not go through! We both have full 4G signals and it still disconnect and poor sound.

I tried Fring and for some reason it will not use my front camera. My brother has iphone and it works fine for him--but he only sees my rear camera when we call each other even though I see his front camera. I have not tried Tango yet.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] EDD Skitz:
So I figured I would add to this....

Tango has released updates in the past few days that fix the bugs, now we just have the microphone issues... For a great fix try muting the receiving unit's microphone until you speak... And vice versa.

Works great TB to TB, and is a nice workaround if you absolutely need the video chat like my business partner, who uses it to see his son!!!

According to this article from wired, ATT is starting to crack down on people who've jailbroken and have been tethering their data connection.

I've been using BigBoss' TetherMe to tether my iphone to my XOOM for a few weeks. I've been using it sparingly and haven't seen any harassing emails/texts from ATT. Just wondering if anybody else out there has seen or received a notice from ATT.

wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/03/att-tethering/
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Ouch yea saw this on engadget, too.

The article said there that if you don't reply, they're simply going to sign up your account for the $45/mo. 4GB Data Pro Tethering plan.
[Xoom General] offtheedge:
I too saw this on engadget. I tether with my android sometimes, using a built in hotspot feature that came with the cooked rom. Does anyone know how ATT is finding out that ppl tether w/o a tether plan or is this just isolated to iOS right now?
[Xoom General] manthedan211:
Yeah I'm curious as to how far in depth AT&T tracks your usage on the phone. I'm not sure how much privacy we're entitled to on their network, probably none?
[Xoom General] foxbat121:
It's quite simple. I saw one of the iPhone user posted that his monthly data usage is 167GB. It doesn't take a genious to figure that one out.
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
geez wth they're downloading?
[Xoom General] foxbat121:
He's using tethering as his only way of broadband connection at home. Ppl like this spoiled things for everyone else. I'm not sure if what AT&T did is fact a good thing for rest of us.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
i use my phone as my home broadband too. Only cause I can only get 56k where I live and refuse to pay for such ****. I only use about 5-7/8 gigs a month though, and I even use it for work. So this guy must be doing a lot of movie downloading or something. I didn't even think my iPhone could use that much data in a month even if i surfed nonstop for the whole month.

That is a lot, he must be doing some kind of gaming through his phone.

So far I haven't received anything from At&t and hope it stays that way.
[Xoom General] foxbat121:
You should be fine. Ppl who got the notice so far seem to be the ones who are really abusing it and the monthly usage makes it easy for AT&T to spot.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Doubt you're entitled to any privacy, but I too am wondering how they would ever figure out what the difference is between sites visited on your phone, and sites visited through your phone on your DC.

But yes, I bet they just sent it out to anyone with more than 15gb or so of usage per month, because that would be tough to do if you weren't tethering.

I personally don't pay for tethering on T-mobile, and only use it when I need it out and about, and i've never been noticed about it. But they're a bit different, and throttle you after about ~5GB anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Like I said, if you're on a limited cap plan (aka 2gb or 4gb), then why wouldn't you be able to use your data however you want? if you hit your cap and are aware of the overage charges or data cuts, what's the problem??
[Xoom General] foxbat121:
So far all those got caught are on 'unlimited' plan.
[Xoom General] jackxlj:
they are using apples built in usage monitor to detect tethering, the iphone has always been set to monitor what apps use data and how much, and reporting back to the mother ship, now att is using that to see who is tethering via apps, and sending it out, if you haven't gotten your notification yet, you will, they are doing it in waves of a random assortment of heavy, medium, and light users of the illegal tethering.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xylite:
Sounds like there weren't any ideas in Q&A for this one, and I haven't seen much in terms of not being able to access recovery, so here goes...

I was happily using CM7, and while reading through a Diablo III news page (hopefully it comes out soon ), my phone rebooted into a boot loop. Weird, but I figured at worst I would wipe data and reinstall a ROM. Unfortunately, I can't get into recovery any longer.

If I boot the phone normally, I see the white HTC splash screen for a few seconds, then it reboots. I can use HBOOT fine, but as soon as I try to reboot normally / boot into recovery / boot into Restore Factory Defaults, my phone will reset. Let me clarify...

Pull and replace battery

Boot into HBOOT (volume down + power)

Select Recovery

Phone reboots and reaches CWM Recovery 3 for about 1/2 second, not long enough for me to click anything

Phone reboots into boot loop

I've used HBOOT to flash to CWM Recovery 3.0.0.8, downgraded to the stock radio, run the 2.2 RUU. I'm still running up against the same boot loop problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hardware problem, but I'm anxious to hear if anyone has ideas to try first. Additionally, is there any way to restore to S-ON through HBOOT in case I need to bring this into a Verizon store? I have fastboot.exe that can recognize the device over USB while the device is in HBOOT, maybe this will help?

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popasmurfn23:
Yeah take out battery, then pull out sd card put it into a adapter and insert it to ur pc. Then find the file that was shipped specifically for ur device it looks something like this PC130mg.zip or some crap like that anyways put that on the root of your sd card. load ur card back to your phone now into hboot(volume down plus power) mode. Your phone will auto detect that file and start to ask if u want to install update say yes boom it will flash back to stock.....however my only concern would be if u need to turn s-ON before u do this.

I did this for a evo 4g and it worked but I turned s-ON first as it was in the instructions I was following. I think maybe the update file checks to see if ur S-off or on. But don't quote me on that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaze one:
Yeah, I agree with popasmurf. Put the PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard. Then let hboot discover and update it. It'll be back to stock and youll have to reroot but better than a paperweight.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popasmurfn23:
@phazeone let's say he just does that. Now his phone reboots and is on stock and looses his root, now he can root it again and then turn the S-on by the single file flash from recovery mode, and then use the update file again to flash the phone back to normal stock without root ( if he was taking it back) so whenever u want to manipulate the S security u must be rooted correct?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaze one:
You are correct.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xylite:
Thanks for the replies.

I tried this method to flash back to the stock 2.2 image before I started this thread. That's what I meant by "I've used HBOOT to ... run the 2.2 RUU." The stock image seemed to install properly in HBOOT. I have evidence that it successfully went back to stock, since I get the original ! triangle graphic instead of CWM when I try to enter recovery from HBOOT. However, I only see the graphic pop up for a brief second before it reboots again. Trying to boot into recovery or the ROM itself still result in a reboot.

I cannot achieve S-ON without having access to recovery, at least there's no way that I've found to do it through HBOOT.

Any other thoughts? I think it's a hardware problem. It appears the phone is back to stock (except it's still S-OFF), but everything outside of HBOOT causes a boot loop. I stopped in at Verizon this afternoon and they'll be sending a new phone to arrive by Tuesday. At this point, it'd be nice to try all avenues of repair for the future benefit of others that run into this problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Probably bad memory chips on the phone. Since it happened all of a sudden during normal use it usually indicates hardware failure.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testingchip:
That is pretty much what I determined. Bad hardware. Sorry for your trouble but is nice to know I'm not the only person to ever have this. Also nice to know I didn't miss something that could've brought it back to life.

I filed an insurance claim. Figured since I have had it for years and never used it I'd take advantage.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popasmurfn23:
You can boot your phone like regular right? Just let it launch up or do you get loops?

Nevermind i see what ur saying. when i was flashing incorrect kernals i would get the same behavior from my phone. So i suggest you take phazeones link and try that file.Because u might have the incorrect file. There might be more than meets the eye make sure u got the right file.

When i searched for my zip file for my evo there was like 4 of them. They had to match what was said in the upper left corner of my hboot screen. So let me knoe if it worked

I wonder if he could just wipe that SD card, place a new Rom etc on it and reinstall. Bricking displays no response you've got a better shot at recovering course your SD card/battery could be bad
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
Since you're trying to flash the 3.x.x.x version of CWM, that may be your issue. Here's a zip for 2.5.0.5, one of the most stable earlier Recoveries. Flash through hboot as per usual.

If that doesn't work, (I'm assuming that you can boot the phone normally at this point) try re-rooting with the Unrevoked tool.

Then use Rom Manager to flash a newer Recovery (be sure to check Erase Previous Recovery under Settings). If that still doesn't work, I'll see about packaging an RUU in a PB31IMG.zip with a valid version of CWM as the recovery.img within that zip. I'm not sure about the practicality of this final option, but if it comes down to it, I'll attempt to package that up for you.

This sounds incredibly frustrating. Thus my interest in the matter. :D

There's gotta be a way to fix this... even if it's just long enough to get S-On and keep your warranty valid.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
This would work if he could access CWM Recovery, but he can't, thus the issue.

I wonder if he could mount something from within hboot and replace the binary code for the recovery image with a bunch of zeroes and then try flashing another through hboot again.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard666:
I was JUST about to post the same topic when I came across this. I have done the stock image restore, restored BACK to hboot 0.92, back to the most current INC radio, and have tried flashing CW3.0 and Amon_RA. Everything flashes fine but the boot loop continues and if I try to enter recovery, it lasts maybe one full second before rebooting again. The only thing that I can think of that would create this situation for me was that earlier I was trying to update the PRL via *228 on MIUI but the dialpad never popped up so I hung up.

It just seems unlikely that this is a problem with flashing the wrong recovery, or the wrong stock image, since booting into recovery and booting normally both exhibit the same behavior. If I could boot normally into recovery but not boot into a stock image, I would suspect that I had flashed the wrong image. Since both have the same problem, I think it might be something else.

[finished flashing build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]

Same behavior. White htc Incredible splash screen -> darkness for a second (presumably while the ROM tries to boot) -> reboot.

Alternatively, HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> Triangle / ! error screen for a half second -> reboot.

[finished flashing CWM 2.5.0.5]

Same behavior:

HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> CWM recovery 2.5.0.5 for a half second (this confirms that it flashed properly) -> reboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xylite:
So we've got three people reporting the exact same issue. Seems like valuable knowledge for HTC so a hardware engineer can fix this on future phones (if it's faulty hardware).

This doesn't seem to be a problem that flashing some software in the conventional manner is going to remedy. I'm out of ideas short of tearing this thing open and trying a JTAG programmer :) .

Any idea whether my warranty replacement might get denied when I ship this one back with S-Off? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard666:
I have gotten denied for warranty claims at the store for my old Storm that I got from a friend for having too much cosmetic damage, called in to VZW tech support, they sent out a new one and I sent back the old one. Never heard anything out of them, so I think we should be fine with the S-off. The only thing I was really worried about was that I switched my htc splash screen to reversed black and white, but because of all of the flashes and resets, it's been reset to stock.

I'm just kind of peeved that after nearly a year of ownership, I now have to deal with a refurb but then again I could have no phone so it's not that bad. Here's to hoping that mine comes with a new battery cover; the old one squeaks like a hamster wheel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cac2us:
warranty refurbished

I think that the warranty refurbished phones from VZW come without the battery or the door.

When customer service tried to get me to send back my 60 day old BNIB Fathom, they told me I could get a warranty refurbished Fascinate, but I would have to buy a battery and door as well as a charger.

Otherwise, has anyone tried the android SDK?

When I first looked into rooting I came across the DOS box method using android SDK to root the Motorola D2W.

That was one of the reasons I went with the DInk.

This Qualcom processor is more flexible for rooting.

There is a good thread regarding unroot..

I can't remember where tho..

It uses the Android SDK to run console commands while in bootloader mode.

Well good luck. BTW, I got my DInc from Wirefly for free.

After I got VZW to switch my primary line.

They have semi-full coverage for $6.95 a mo. with $0.00 ded.
