HTC 4G :: Evo Hardware Failure - Screen Died / What To Do?
Jun 12, 2010
I had to return my Evo today because the screen died last night while I was trying to take a picture of my girlfriend. I accidentally hit the zoom button instead of the shutter, and when I went to close that menu the screen went dark. The backlight was still lit, but nothing was visible on the screen. I tried taking the battery out and then trying again and a couple of times got the android recovery menu to load or the Evo boot screen to load, but shortly after lines would show up on the screen and the image would kind of melt away. Sadly, my radio shack is sold out and now I have to wait for their next shipment while I struggle to deal with a crappy free feature phone that I'm essentially loaning until my replacement comes in stock.
Anyone else have a screen failure, or am I extremely unlucky?

So my beloved Droid is finally starting to show her age. Part of the touch screen has failed on the very right side of the screen as can be seen here:
The phone is still fully functional other than this and appears to be one of the better units out there (runs perfectly stably with 1.2ghz ulv kernels, gets great battery life and has a bubbly keyboard).
Having this portion of the touch screen go out does cause a few major problems though:
-Search hardware button no longer works
-Can't use notification blind in landscape view
-Can't hit backspace on portrait on-screen keyboard
-Many software buttons (like the ones in maps) can't be used in portrait
I have already visited my local VZW store and was assured they have replacement Droid 1s in stock.

My application is background application.It uses WIFI lock and INTERNET permission. It is doing some socket communication with a Remote Host PC and as well as with a local android application. It will start based on incoming SMS. While my application is running, I tried to use the browser application. Within a minute my application is getting crashed.(in DDMS log, I found the application process has died) And again I restarted my application, it is always getting crashed within a minute. I could not find the reason from the DDMS log. Someone can help me to figure out the problem.

First off, I purposely killed my battery. I bought the phone and that night (June 5th) I charged it to 100%. I have since let it dwindle with periodic use and only marginal charging from when I copy files to the SD card via USB.
So it finally dwindled down to 20% today and I decided to kill it. I busted out android-wifi-tether and played YouTube and refreshed web pages from my iPhone on its wifi hotspot, and in no time got it down to 5%. I kept playing with it and finally it died. w00t! Mission accomplished!
So I plugged it in and began charging it. I waited about 10 mins and then powered it on. It booted up and immediately I noticed the carbon wallpaper. No more live wallpaper. I set live wallpaper and it works but I wonder why it showed me what looks like a carbon wallpaper (a bunch of gray pixels tiled all over). I wonder if Android disabled live wallpapers in a fleeting attempt to conserve battery. Any ideas?
BTW, I'm still VERY pleased with the battery and in about 45 minutes of USB (not wall) charging and idling it's already up to 20%! That's pretty quick! More info: Another 50 mins another 20% charge. So I think it charges ~20% every ~60 mins it seems. So I guess 10% every 30 mins or so.

I am seeing a curious behaviour in my app. I have a widget that gets updated by a service every # hours, when the service finishes I stop it, using "stopService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));", the widget if pressed launches an Activity. Now it gets interesting, while im on the activity everyting works fine, then when I exit the app(by the back key or a button I designed which simply calls this.finish() ) the ActivityManager would tell me that my process has died, I do not see any error of any kind, just that the process has died.
Why I am seeing that message and what does it mean exactly? That is having a side effect on my service regarding static variables getting set to default. Could my code be the cause of this? Is there any way to know that your process has died? I have tested my app on a HTC Hero running 1.5, it always works well on the emulator and I never get that message. I know android kills processes to reclaim memory but Im always careful to close apps heavy on resources.

I'm working on my first "hello world" app using the example in the "Android Apps with Eclipse" book by O. Cinar.
I've got Eclipse 4.2.1 up and running with the ADT, and have created code for a simple MoviePlayer app. When I try to run the app I get an error saying that the SystemUI has died. I'm now trying to work out how to debug the problem.I've attached the logcat output. Details of the virtual device that I'm running the app on are:
Android 4.2 (API level 17)
ARM (armeabi-v7a)
CPU: cortex-a8
RAMsize: 512
Display: 4.7in WXGA

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-i9000 (Bell Mobility, Canada Edition).I am running Darkyrom V10.3 (NO! my problem has nothing to do with Darkyrom)The device is Rooted via Superoneclick
Here is the problem:
My back button has always seemed a bit glitchy and one of my friend told me to hit *#*#2663*#*# and hit "Touch key FW update".
I did that and my back button was acting even worse so I went back in and hit "TSP FW update".
Now my buttons do not work at all! I read somewhere that old me to do a factory reset but I really REALLY don't want to as I cant even backup my stuff in Titanium Backup Root because I have no menu key.
Both times the update came back with a pass and there was no error.

I turned off the haptic feedback and then later, i realized the 4 menu buttons stopped working too. Then I realized vibrate doesn't work at all! And i also tried a hard reset too. Im guessing its a hardware fault?

I've been rooted for quite some time to it. Not exactly an old pro, but I know my way around at this point.At any rate, I decided to give the BatteryLeft widget a try today since I went to Fab's xTheme and it didn't have a battery percentage in the notification bar. The dev recommends that you let your phone completely discharge a few times so that it can accurately predict the remaining percentage and the time until the battery dies.So I let the battery completely discharge and I connected it to my home wall charger to begin recharging. The problem I have been having is that my phone will not stay powered off and continually tries to boot up. I tried charging via car charger, USB and in the media dock and I had the same result.
The problem is that the phone won't charge long enough to stay powered on and continue to charge. The process of rebooting seems to prevent the phone from charging appropriately and uses up the small bit of the charge the battery gets for the 2-3 seconds before rebooting.I tried rebooting into CWR and letting it sit to gather enough charge to stay up, but that doesn't seem to have worked either.I'm at a loss for what to do. I can't get the phone to stay on to do anything, I can't get it to stay off to charge.

I downloaded atk a couple days ago and everything worked great! Last night my phone died. When I charged it and turned it back on this morning I went into task killer to clear out all the apps that turn on automatically and then I hit home. Whenever I did this before, it took me back to the home page, no problem. Now I get a black page with HTC on it and then it resets the home page and I lose my weather. Eventually, it comes back, but why all the sudden am I getting the black HTC screen?

I still have some apps and my phone and wifi seem to be working fine.I don't have Market, Rom Manager, Titanium (but I DO have SuperUser). When I USB my phone to PC - the PC doesn't see either the phone pr the card although I haven't reinstalled HTC Sync). At this point, I don't really even know if I'm rooted or have busybox.I'm really puzzled as to what I should do next:I don't know whether to do a phone restore from Settings or, perhaps from Recovery? Or whether to find a RUU (Is there one with the updated radio or with Froyo? Or, I guess I could wait for the OTA - but that's a wimped out way out and it might not even work at this point. Or, do I want to try reinstalling Rom Manager and do the permission fix - then reflash one of the Froyo Roms. But would that get me Market back? In all cases I'm gonna have to reinstall most of my apps since most resided (at least partially) on the dead sd. Fortunately appbrain has a record of all my apps. - but, from what I understand, there's no way to install the Market, except via HTC/Google/Verizon.

I connected my X10 to my computer two days ago and was prompted to perform a software update which I chose to do believing it would get rid of some ongoing issues I've been having with the phone
The computer found the phone ok, then PC companion prompted me to disconnect the phone from the USB cable, making sure the battery was at least 50% full (it was), switch off the phone and wait at least 5 seconds (waited 30), then plug it back into the USB while pressing and holding the "Back" key.
All of this I did according to instructions, and the information on the screen said it was downloading the update, but broke down and stated that an unexpected error occured during installation. I was prompted to try again, which I did, same thing happened.
At this point the phone just shut down and point blank refuses to turn back on. I tried removing the battery and putting it back in, nothing, I also tried to charge it thinking maybe it was drained during the attempted update (power surge?) and again, nothing.
When I try to switch it back on while it is not connected to a charger or the computer the light flashes red three times. When I connect it to the computer it turns green for a few seconds then goes off again. Currently it's flashing red every few seconds, but will still not switch on.
My biggest problem is - if I take it in to be serviced, will they be able to retrieve my contacts from the phone memory? A backup was done but I no longer have access to this either as I had to reinstall my computer system and this data disappeared (i have a bunch of empty SE folders on my backup disk)
I'm in Croatia and support here are very, very fond of flashing the software as the easiest way out and swearing blind there is nothing they can do to keep the data - if nothing else I'd appreciate feedback from anyone else who has experienced this problem and got their phone back with contacts intact so I can argue more coherently when I take it in to the store tomorrow
I honestly don't care about any of the other data than my contacts, the rest is replaceable, but I have no way of contacting a lot of the people to get their numbers again.

My phone died in the middle of taking video. Came home a couple hours later, plugged my phone into the charger. I turned the phone on, after it was plugged in. My phone froze during the little HTC and Hero intro. After the freeze, it was back on, but my screens were all back to factory settings! It also asked me to calibrate my keyboard, and the little popup bubbles to guide the user with their "new phone" came up! All my apps were gone!! I lost ALL of my contacts! The only thing that stayed was my pictures and videos. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Followed the instructions in http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html for adding 2.0 as components to an existing 1.6 SDK, from within Eclipse.
It didn't work. Not by a long shot. Instead, it got partway through and then said that C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 tempDocPackage.new01 couldn't be copied because of a lock, and similarly for PlatformPackage.new01.
It said to shut down running programs, but the only program running was Eclipse, which was needed to do the upgrade.
The cancel button was disabled, and the close box didn't work. Shutting down Eclipse killed it, but left C:android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 in a corrupted state. Restarting Eclipse showed the Android projects with errors, no SDK, and a disabled Android SDK and AVD Manager (which means no ability to rerun the install).
Shutting down Eclipse, renaming the corrupted SDK directory, unzipping 1.6 again into C:, and restarting Eclipse made it as if nothing had ever happened, which is good. But it is not possible to complete the install from Eclipse, which is bad.
The dialog says:

I am connecting to a server on my network written in C#. The data sent from the android device is received by the server and a reply is succesfully sent but the android code timesout and never gets the return data.I have tested that the C# server can communicate and reply with a C# client.
I have studied the network traffic using Wireshark when using both the C# server-android client and C# server-C# client and it appears that the android device acknowledges(ACK) the reply data but my code never recieves it.
I have the code running in a thread so running it on Android 4.0 doesn't error out but I have tried running it on Android 2.2 with exactly the same behaviour(or lack of it). Also I have run it on 2 different android devices.
(AndroidManifest.xml)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

Today I've just started having many SMS failures when trying to send via my Desire handset on the Orange UK network. I've put the sim in another phone and the messages send (and receive) fine. I've done a factory reset and still the problem remains - 'SMS unable to send' notification. Eventually on a retry it seems they do send (sometimes coming through twice) but it's something that has only just started happening.
As I say I tried a factory reset and the problem remains using either the stock sms client or indeed Handcent. I also noticed before the reset when I restarted the phone it would take upto 5 minutes to achieve any phone signal at all - after the restart it finds it almost immediately.

I ran into this with my corporate e-mail this week on a Google I/O Evo. The setup of my exchange account was painless. Just need to plug-in my e-mail, password and a device password. Exchange syncing works fine until you turn off your phone. When you power the phone back on, it boots up to the point where the Sprint intro video plays. At that point, according to Sprint tech support, the Exchange syncing hits a snag and causes the phone to restart indefinitely playing that same loud, annoying intro video over and over. The only workaround was to open up the bootloader (power+volume down on power up) and erase all my data. I went through a simple setup and a simple setup + exchange again to confirm that it was indeed the Exchange account that introduced the problem.

I can send MMS but when someone sends one to me it tells me who its from, the message size, a button for download and when it expires. If I click to download, it tries to download for about a min then I get a notification that says "message not downloaded" then below it says "transient failure". I have had 2 people send me MMS messages, both times my EVO behaved the same way. Both people have verizon service.
I have the White EVO
firmware version 2.1 - update1
software number1.47.651.1
I have tried a soft reset by powering down the phone, removing the battery and resetting. This is my 3rd day of having this device. When I left the store with it, I received an update notification. Then when I got to WiFi, I installed the OTA update. I don't know whether mms worked before the update as I didn't have time to use it before the update began.

I have downloaded the Layar401.apk file from web and trying to install it into my android device [HTC Magic, OS 2.2]. But every time I'm trying to install it its saying -
adb install Layar401.apk
1098 KB/s (1855698 bytes in 1.649s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Layar401.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
From other posts I figured out that there might be a missing shared library of google maps api in manifest.xml file. I tried to view the manifest.xml file and it gave me something like following -
package: name='com.layar' versionCode='27' versionName='4.0.1'

But here it says library includes google maps api as well. So I'm not sure why I'm not able to install this apk file.
