EVO Shift 4G Not Downloading

Hey guys and gals,
I am asking this question for a friend of mine. I have searched the thread and could not find any results. Everytime she tries downloading an app from the market it is unsuccessful no matter what app it is. She has rebooted, toggled airplane mode. If there are any known fixes to this issues please help me help her. I really appreciate the help.
Thank You
Tom

Market not Downloading
Did you try to reset your Google talk account. I know on the Backflip that will fix it about a third to half of the time. Another thing to try is switching to air plaine mode and back. Those are things that have worked with Moto devices and seeing how they are all android I thought it would be worth a try.

Try going to settings, manage applications, then choose the market (under the heading "all") and clear data.

I have tried both of these methods and unfortunately neither of them have worked. My friend took the phone in and Sprint techs did some type of test on it and came back out with a brand new phone out of the box. She's only had the phone for about 2 weeks if that. So hopefully this one will treat her good. Thanks for the input and feedback it is greatly appreciated.

[HELP] DHD wakes up by itself

Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!

I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705

Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!

Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).

Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!

Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...

need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper

I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

[Q] Clock Setting Back to Default 1/1/2009 After Restart

My Acer A500 always resets the date & time to 1/1/2009 when I restart it. But yesterday when I checked with my friends A500; that isn't the case. His tab had the correct date and time after restart.
Can anyone tell me if there is any internal battery needs changing?
"Restart (Offing the tab waiting 10sec and starting it up again)"
Running Stock Honeycomb 3.2.1

Is your tablet encrypted?

Nope. It is not encrypted.

I was looking at the internal breakdown, and I didn't see an internal battery, other than the main battery. Not like you would see on a PC for example.
Probably, because the newer hardware uses Flash memory, unlike PC's in the old days, which relied on EPROMS and a battery to keep things updated on the Prom memory.
So, unless anybody has some other input on this, that I don't know about, I'll pull a sherlock holmes, and use the deduction method.
This probably didn't occur after you first bought the tab, and the OS was fresh. Otherwise, you would have returned it.
And By the way, what is your current Android version?
I'll have to point the finger, at this time, as some sort of app you downloaded. I can't tell you which one, as I just don't know. Half a million apps on the market, and even more unofficial apps.
I would suggest a factory reset. (back up your critical stuff), and see if the issue remains.
I don't know if you're rooted, or running a custom rom. So I at this time, will say you're not.

First of all sorry for the late reply. Was very busy. Please find my comments in red.

I had this problem from day one. I didn't suspect it as a problem of the tab.
And By the way, what is your current Android version?
current version is 3.2.1
I'll have to point the finger, at this time, as some sort of app you downloaded. I can't tell you which one, as I just don't know. Half a million apps on the market, and even more unofficial apps.Since this problem was there from day one I don't think it is a app problem
I would suggest a factory reset. (back up your critical stuff), and see if the issue remains.
The only thing that I didn't try due to limited and expensive data charges in Sri Lanka. Can't spend 5-6 hours re downloading everything
I don't know if you're rooted, or running a custom rom. So I at this time, will say you're not.
It is not rooted and I'm not running a custom rom.
Since it is still under warranty I'm thinking should I send it for a replacement.
Appreciate your thouths on this matter.

Try this..
go to settings
Date and time . Look at the Set Date and take note
Toggle off the Automatic date to off .. (un check)
Set proper time and time zone . but change there formats
change the hour format
change the select date format..
Shut down your tablet.. Then restart it.. This might sound useless. But if its a error in the software that controls the clock hardware. This might trigger it to reset. We used to have this issue on the old AMI BIOS CHIPS.MOSTLY on asus main boards. of course try a couple times.. because of the date being so far off it sounds like error in what ever controls the time and date.. Not a android tech . but im guessing the boot loader controls the date.or looks at it at the least..
only other option is to root . install cwm thru acer recovery installer.. DO a backup . with cwm and titanium . that will allow you to not have to re download all of your apps.
As i said the above is likely to not work.. but i know it was a issue on some old old main boards. YOUR FACTORY INSTALL COULD HAVE A ISSUE. Just never seen this with clock....
Good luck and sorry for being so long winded.

Thanks for your post. I'm still unable to get this date corrected. Tried it around four times and still no luck.

I'm just out of guess's on this one. Never heard of it before.
But you're better off taking it back for exchange. Considering it's happened since day one, and you haven't rooted.
Don't they have free wifi in Mcdonalds over there? Or try around the tourist type areas. Cafe's and such. Usually they try and kiss the feet of the tourists.

Thanks Everyone. I will talk with the local Acer agent and see if I can get a replacement.

If your planning on getting a replacement you will have to re-download everything also, which is your reasoning for not doing a factory reset to fix the issue to start with.

I finally mustered the courage and did a factory reset. I had all my data wiped out. Took a long time to get my most used apps.
Well the thing is it did not solve the problem. Still when my tab starts I get the default date and time 1/1/2009 @ 5:30 AM.
One strange thing I noticed is that when I do a restart with my ac adaptor plugged in, the date and time are correct.
Just wanted to post so that it might help someone who's having the same problem.

Signal disappears completely

I was just curious to see if anyone else was having this problem. I have searched and found no threads that were describing exactly what was happening to me. My signal just drops out completely and doesn't come back for a full 5 minutes sometimes. I'm pretty sure it's not the root doing it either, because it was happening before I rooted it. I figured the root would solve it, but it hasn't. If anyone has any ideas, please share. I'm going to try a different radio right now and I'll share with you the results, but ideas are still appreciated.

Definitely your radio. Flash the latest radio and see if that improves it.
Sent from my HoneySmartDroid Port using XDA Premium.

I tried a new radio yesterday, for pretty much all day. It didn't solve the problem, but I'm going to try all the radios I can. If anybody else has another suggestion besides radios let me know please.

Okay, sorry it took me so long to respond. I have tried almost all the radios and none of them have solved this problem. I know it's not a T-mobile issue either because I get great service at my house with every other phone except this one. It's looking like a hardware issue, but I was wondering if anybody had any input on it.

I would send it back to tmobile, tell them about it and send her back, you might want to remove soff though

Its not new and I didn't buy it from T-mobile. I guess I can try sending it back to HTC though. I did call them and see if it was still under the 1 year. Thankfully the previous owner didn't register it. It's now registered under my name and I have a backup phone, so I guess I will do that. The charger port is loose and needs to be fixed anyway. Thank you everyone for your input.

developing anyone who wants to help has ideas lets post them here

i have a machine with linux on it and a remote desktop client called teamviewer for those who would want to help get one of these roms ported so to speak. further more anyone have ideas or know how to fix other issues as well as kernels. then post here let us know although my post its not just for me. i will also keep posting my progress here from now on. if anyone wants to learn what i learned i have a discord server where we can voice at. its hard to actually type and explain and the other machine can show as i talk about what ever. so feel free to post what ever as well if u just want me to call it quits let me know down bellow. i figure we get enough people who know stuff bout each of the process we might get farther then just me. then im gonna try to develop my own rom that will be awhile xd. i learned what i know in like a month so im no expert but i love learning new stuff as well as knowing i accomplished something good.heres what i got so far auto brightness doesnt work double tap does not work although its in the settings. wifi is still broke im getting closer to get wifi but maybe some new eyes can help with the kernel configs or symlink or well you get the picture.https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767145938heres how to flash goto twrp goto wipe do the delete data option that has you type yes. then just restore backup normal way in twrp. sorry first one was a old broke version posted new link. also install install one of these when ur finish restore http://opengapps.org/if this was helpful please hit the ty button. if u feel the need to donate thats there as well enjoy and maybe we can get rr marsh mellow to at least be our temp os. after you load it up at least once i recommend going back to twrp and doing the factory restore option

yeah it wont be a DD without wifi but im light on using data anyhow for the time being. what version of crdroid are you making? im not personally interested in any particular version of android i just cant wait any longer to rid myself of EMUI as a whole beyond what im already able to. i dont know if either of you had any issues or maybe it was just me, but copying RR to my ext-sd twrp folder it would just stop copying and i tried it both from within twrp and android. i had to copy it directly to the root of the ext-sd. anyway im installing now just wanted to let you know what was up so far over here.
Edit: I'm sure this wont apply to those who cant figure it out as you shouldnt mess with it anyway if you couldnt but, you have to remove the "_image" from the end of the system backup file in order for twrp to see that partition and be able to restore it.

Hey its Jarrett didn't wanna login. RR works amazing and is exactly what I'm looking for from a ROM. Auto brightness works just fine for me, I came directly from b130 BTW. WiFi just sits there trying to turn on but it never does so I can confirm that. Also double tap to lock works for me. Is there anything that doesn't work for you that you'd like me to try and confirm coming from b130 seems to fix the issues you were having other than WiFi not working.

I do not have a way yo test NFC but yes this ROM is butter smooth and leaves much more room available while also allowing you to use an SD card as expanded system storage. I have yet to find any bugs or settings that do not work as intended other than WiFi and double tap to wake but only WiFi is important to me.

I found another bug, it may be kernal related. When watching videos via the YouTube app that video may freeze while Tue audio continues playing. This has been occurring since installed.
