Anyone got an idea? It seems as if my battery wont take any charge. Only turns on when phone is "Charging." I gave HTC a call and they are so damn stupid. Im sorry but honestly.. they cant trade out my battery! Wanna know why?! THEY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT COMPLETING ORDERS WITH NEW CUSTOMERS. Hmph knowing google i wasnt surprised but STILL! REALLY?! So basically I have to shell out 50 bucks for a new battery? Maybe someone knows something.. I didnt post in accessories because it isnt so I dont know... if this is wrong place sorry.

Did you install the RAM hacked kernel? That has a known issue of causing batteries to no longer charge, and you must revert back to the stock kernel or the recently released patch RAM hacked kenel.
WHAT!? F******* lol i think i did uhm lemme see about flashing a stock rom

The stock ROMs don't fix it, IIRC, you need to flash the stock kernel.

Not really sure, I just started reading up on the Cyan and Kernel for the Nexus One a couple days ago. Perhaps someone that has messed around with the stuff and has a link handy to the kernel he needs could post it up?
As well, I would be willing to bet if you did a search of the Cyan 5.0 ROM thread for "kernel" you would find a link at some place in there.
OP, you need to chill.
Just reflash Cyanogen's addon pack.
I found the Zimage or what ever to flash.. but my battery is dead! GAH! now i have to order one because i dont have a batt to flash it with
That new battery may or may not come charged, if that's what you mean. You might need a friend with an N1 to help you out, if you need a charged battery to reflash.
FYI, worst case scenario, you could always mail your battery to somebody, let them charge it, then mail it back... I would recommend trying to find someone in Cali first, since it would take about 4 days round trip then. I would be willing to help you out, though, if you can't find anyone else... but I am in Iowa, so it would take more like a week or so round trip.
how about turning it on with the charger in w/o the battery? My g1 can do it. Not sure if that applies to other phones.
I find it funny how in your first post you call htc and google stupid for not fixing your battery issue which you obviously brought upon yourself by installing custom roms.

It's pretty obvious that he didn't realize that it was the custom kernel that was the cause of his issue.

no wonder HTC doesn't want to know about unlocked nexus going in for warranty.
if you install a custom rom the least you can do is try to stay on top of things related to that rom. I haven't unlocked, but even I knew there was an issue with batteries not charging.

Perhaps now you can understand why some of us are irritated when people jump the gun on things. In this case, we're talking about people going straight to rooting and flashing their phones with custom ROMs without realizing the potential issues related with them... in other cases, well I won't get into off topic discussion...but suffice to say that this isn't the last time you see someone flash a ROM, then ask why his phone isn't working the same as it was before.
HTC picked up my N1 yesterday because it wasnt charging. It said it was charging but as soon as I took out the charger it turned off.
It had an unlocked bootloader and they said they would send me a new one...
Fingers crossed I get a new one soon
I didn't know about the kernel doing this so just I emailed them, then phoned and they sent someone to pick mine up...
Man that's bad.You really should not root your next one, and if you do, you should take responsibility for your actions.

You talking to me?
HTC gave me a new Nexus One today and mine was unlocked and replaced no problem And it wasn't to do with the kernel because the report from HTC says the battery was faulty But they gave me a new device anyway.
I love it how people just love to automatically point the figure at somebody else for their fault. Maybe you should have first read more about something when you decide to root your phone rather than running and screaming like a two year old.
There are many reasons to root/rom/kernel the phone when you may not be considered one of the 'enlightenned' as this thread seems to insinuate.
If you need to do anything that is not in the android ideal as far as application framework goes your screwed.
I bought this phone since I was "sold" that it was "open"
and for "development" that to me impiled it at least had a shell...
This thread has gotten seriously off track.
Please respond in the vein of helping identify what the stable(est)rooted baseline should be.
I bought a focus on craigslist which I am assuming was the store demo because after a minute the demo comes up. Is there a way to get rid of this?
craigslist+demo mode= 99.9% chance of being stolen...
Sounds like you need to flash it with a genaric ROM. Check out the HTC HD7 forum and look under development. Seems a "Football" guy has cooked up a ROM for HD7. It worked great when I flashed my HD 7. Ask real nice and maybe he'll cook up a ROM for you to flash your Focus. What ever you do make sure it's the correct ROM for the phone as it may cause damage if it's for a different phone.
Either that or try to get your money back from the Criagslist seller.
shoot me the imei and ill check which att it was stolen from. Seriously though, thats the demo loop we load up to the devices. it supposed to also wipe the phone out nightly, not let you load a live ID and will not go away even with a hard reset. sorry dude, return the phone to seller and report to police.
I got one of these puppies on Ebay - same thing - stolen unit with the demo ROM. The battery was even dead from constant playing and hmm... the back cover was mysteriously missing." I want to report the guy on Ebay but I want my money back first.
ya me to,
I had something and am stuck now with a demo phone. Who else got one in Vancouver pm me and lets compare who we got from. Its hard to get cash back from craigslist people, the police don't really care so i wouldnt waste my time with them. But a good old lynching goes a long way. Back to flashing from what i understand you might be able to flashthe omnia 7 Rom just don't flash the radio. Focus and omnia 7 are identical phones and the Rom are these except the radios differ. I might try and see what happens. Not much to lose or wait till an update comes out.

Yes my battery cover was missing too. Even had screen burn in at the top that says windows phone
Sorry the device alive is not intended to be removed from the device. I installed them on our windows phones in the store and am pretty sure it stores the demo rom on a place that it can not be removed from. If you do find a way to add a new rom make sure you delete any folder that ends with windows7_samsungfocus.devicealive... Or something like that.

Trust me... you do not want the demo phone ROM flashed on your phone. FYI the guy who commented on having it loaded works at a store that sells WP7 device and has flashed the ROM for demo purposes.

Is it a rom or just files that are installed on the phones ram partition. If its just files that are installed somewhere then they would be able to be removed, full rom would mean it would require a flashed rom, I read on the omnia7 forum that people there have had recived phones with demo mode on and simply reflashed a new rom and that was all that was required to remove demo mode. the issue with the focus is there is no roms around to flash or the program to flash the phone, im sure the omnia7 flash tool would work on the focus.

I bought my focus on ebay but it was stuck in demo mode so I figured to boot the omnia 7 rom as I could not find anywhere a focus rom and I have no idea how to cook one! Unfortunately the phone now does not function properly, its accelerometer sensor is messed and soft buttons are not working.. does anyone know where I can find the focus rom to boot it back? pleasw I am kinda desperate here!

Have you tried playing with registry at all, or anything in diagnosis, from what I hear we will see the update for wp7 on the 31st on jan. I have searched high and dry for the focus rom but there is none around, when the update comes out im sure you will see the rom here shortly after. Does everything else work ok though,
What you mean by playing with registry? I am kind of new to these stuff, sry! so my only hope now is waiting for the wp7 update? and then what I have to do (if for example comes tomorrow!)?
We shall see after 7th feb..
I delete at&t DA on my phone but demo still come up.
Did any of yall bother to check out the phone before you gave the cash to the craigslist seller? Every time ive sold an electronic they play w/ it for at least 10 mins.
Seems like this guy on eBay is selling stolen phones too.....check out his feedback lol

I still don't see the fuss about the hinge though.
What fusses me more is that I've gone through 3 G2s and each of them had a pixel problem, be it stuck or dead. Had to use a microscopic-ish lens to find them. Lawl.

Don't be. People have mentioned that even over time, the hinge will get loose again (this is inevitable, all springs give way over time). So be content with what you have if you have a bug-free phone!

Was it a new upgrade or a replacement, when did you get the first one?
First of all, you may want to get yourself a nice camera that can do HD video recording.
Secondly, your second G2 with the tight hinges is exactly how my G2 was when I first got it. It was super tight, no give, and then after a week of use it become really loose but not quite as loose as your first one. Give it time, and I'm pretty confident that your new G2 will call the loose hinge flu. Let's hope not, though.
My G2 has an intermittent touch screen issue. T-Mobile says it's a known issue. This is unacceptable for me. Aný recommendations? Different model, brand ect. Thanks

Are you sure it's not this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910624? This is a problem inherent with capacitive touchscreens (though some phones may be more susceptible than others depending on design and tolerances).
If not, you might want to try starting a new thread about it instead of trying to get help through one about the hinge (especially if it really is a known issue, others may be able to provide solutions).

No it doesn't, you just don't understand the nuances of capacitive touch sensors. YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT by having solid contact with the metal ring around the outside of the screen.
I've been playing with couple different dummy units at the stores
Like best buy and radio shack. They got no hinge problem at all. But really my wife got a g2 that has the problem but she doesn't say anything at all. me neither. I don't see why the problem would make me go have a replacement though. Unless theres something else. But so far so good

Hey guys so my EVO has been my daily driver since the day it came out, haven't had any problems and been loving it since.
Recently i purchased an extended battery to hopefully increase the amount of time i have to leave the phone charging. When i switched to the new battery i didn't notice much difference, even conditioned the battery perfectly as well.
So my next step i installed a SBC kernel to see if that may help, well the only thing i can think is that i got lazy and somehow left my phone on with the SBC kernel and now it has messed up the phone.
PROBLEM:
Phone will not accept charge via USB, OEM or Aftermarket charger. The only way for me to use my phone is to charge a battery with an external charger and then just keep switching them out.
So i believe this may be caused by using the SBC kernel but can't be sure (the phone is a bit old and beat up), but i want to revert everything back to stock so i can take it to the Sprint store and see if they will just swap me with another EVO so i don't have any phone downtime. I know worst case scenario i can order another one through insurance but i don't want to spend the $100 deductible if i don't have to.
What is the best way to revert completely back to stock and hopefully make it so at the Sprint store they can't tell that i used a custom rom and kernel?
I created a NAND backup of my current install and was just going to remove the sd card when i go to the Sprint store so i can at least have a backup.
I found these stock roms:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-htc-evo-4g-development/121961-sprint-htc-evo-4g-shipped-roms.html
But can't seem to find any stock kernels except this thread on XDA:
Stock Kernel - xda-developers
Anybody know where i can download the stock kernel?
I also found this thread on XDA with document from a Sprint forum saying that they will accept rooted phones?:
xda-developers - View Single Post - Sprint returns
So my question really comes down to, should i just worry about flashing the stock kernel and rom and then just bring it to a Sprint store?
Anybody got any feedback that has done this before or can point me in the right direction? I want to try and stop by the store today to see what we can get done, have a big week of work ahead of me and don't need any phone downtime.
I also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812030
But is that still viable if they are accepting rooted phones and since it is a bit dated? Should i just print out that thread from a forum to bring to sprint store in case they give me problems?
Thanks guys!
I would revert to stock just in case, especially if they can link the kernel to your issue.
Question, you said it won't accept a charge, is that just for the aftermarket battery or the stock too?
Does the USB port function at all?
Because it sounds like it could just be a USB failure.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7
Take that file and rename it PC36IMG.zip and boot into your bootloader and approve the update.
That will return it to complete stock. [Kernel, radio, ROM etc]
If you used unrevoked you need to flash this .zip first.

Thanks for the quick reply, it looks like it's USB all together, it will work for a minute or two then cut off, same thing with charging. Normally i just take my micro SD card and put it in a converter that hooks up to my laptop, now that i tried with USB i notice that doesn't work either.
Are there any fixes/troubleshooting guides for USB failure or is that something hardware related?

There was a thread in the development section some time ago but I think this is just a straight hardware issue.
Unroot just to protect yourself and take it in.
Be warned you will likely get a replacement with 2.3.3 (not rootable currently) if they can't repair the USB port.

Ok great, let me give it a try, thanks for all your help and quick replies!
Okay she's at the store now sitting in that long ass line of phones that need repaired...sometimes it's hard to explain to the sprint people you know what the problem probably is without giving away too much information.
Either way i took the forum printout with me just in case...
BUT they told me they only have (1) evo in stock (obviously besides the ones for sale) and there are 3 other evo's in front of me needing repair (software hopefully).
So as i sat there for a good 30 minutes waiting to give my phone to someone i looked through all the phones they have out now.
Been with Sprint for over 5 years now and the only real upgrade they gave me was the EVO from the TP2 because of how much i complained and complained and complained until they finally gave me one.
I don't have any problems with my EVO, but i use my phone for work and not having it for a day almost makes me feel paralyzed (should not have given old phones to friends, ugh).
What do you think the chances are of them just giving me another phone they have in stock? I'm not too concerned with what it is right now as i just need something to hold me over until i buy another one, but i've had my fun with my EVO and they have plenty of other phones that cost just about the same thing.
I know this question is hard to answer, but if they tell me they have to order the EVO you think if i complain enough they will just give me another phone instead? Maybe i can call Sprint before i head back to the store and see if they can work something out for me?
I'm not saying i want them to give me the phone that cost $200 after rebate as the EVO is now only 99, but if i pay the difference would they? Anybody had this work before?
Hopefully they can just repair my EVO or give me another one, i'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this without having to buy the damn phone at retail cost then return it when my EVO gets in, cut up all my credit cards years ago and thinking about it now just makes me want to cry since i really need one now...ugh..hellp!
Does anybody also know if their business plans have any type of SLA for phones? I would pay $15 a month instead of $8 just to know i can walk into a store and they would give me another of the same or something comparable just so i dont have to go without a phone??
Thanks, i'll let you know how it goes today!
The phone shows signs of corrosion, so they say i have to file an insurance claim. I told them to open it for me and show me where and the dude showed me this small spot on the other side of the board the camera is on that has like an outline of where there may have been some type of liquid?
Who knows, the phone hasn't been dropped in anything, hasn't been used the rain, but they said they are not willing to fix it because they found that spot. BS, that's not what caused my USB port not to work but obviously they don't care...grrrrrr!

It really was never exposed to any type of water, only thing i can possibly think was maybe when it rained by i have the otterbox on it so i dont even see how that could be possible.
I did call them and complained a whole lot. They basically gave me a credit for next month and i just paid the deductible for insurance.
Anyways thanks a ton for your help man!

Do you know of a way to root the phone without having USB? Since i'm going to keep this phone i want to try and fix it myself now but USB doesn't work in order to root it again haha
So now that i'm going to keep the phone i guess i need to bring it back to a rootable state...and since i flashed the newest ROM im guessing i can't do that yet, eh?
No, android 2.3.3 is not rootable for the Evo yet
Only a few days later and here's a wonderful thread that worked perfectly for me:

Look at the video to see how horrible the reflection is. There's no way a Google update will fix this. I know why they told.you to wait, so that by the time an " update" comes out, the phone will be outside of the return period.

Poor design, camera looks pretty far back from glass panel and you get a reflection off the lens on the glass. Maybe an anti-reflective coating would of been useful.
I guess I'll be returning it. It's unacceptable for a phone I spent 950 to have.

But the camera on the Pixel is supposed to be the best smartphone camera of all time. :laugh:
I must be lucky cause I've never gotten the glare video or pictures.

never mind that though. this is a big ol' conspiracy for google to get us outside of our return dates!!1one! definitely plausible. :laugh: seriously, android already has a couple of blackeyes from yesterday's chinese malware report and samsung's note 7 gaff. again, never mind that. google wants to further stain android's image by conspiring to get us past our return dates. this is true folks.

Well if Google sold us defective products I'm sure they would have to replace
It's definitely a weird issue indeed. I literally try to force this to happen every time I read about it and have not been able to yet. Not saying it doesn't exist though, just that I've never seen it. I've had the phone for a couple weeks now.
A software update can help fix this. I haven't had the issue myself. But I had an old point and shoot that had this issue and a firmware update corrected the issue.

A software update isn't going to fix a damn thing in video mode - Google themselves have said this.
Are Google going to release a revised version of device?

That would be ideal. My guess is they may "silently" implement is as a hardware revision for new phones. Only time will tell.
