Restore missing Phone icon without hard-rest - HTC EVO 3D

So I ran across this article today about improving voice quality http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d...r-vocoder-settings-improve-voice-quality.html
After trying this method when I rebooted phone, low and behold my missing phone icon was back on the lockscreen! What the heck? Figured I'd better let everyone know my findings!

Any idea why the phone icon disappeared? I got the same prob and I searched for like half an hour thru the phone

If you did the update you will lose your phone icon. You need to go into HTC updates as there is another update available in there if you hav not done that one. It will give you your phone icon back after you update and soft reset your device.
I had to keep checking for the update before it actually showed available.

ota
I did the OTA update and still had phone icon

I did a hard reset and while the phone icon returns, as soon as you cange the lock screen icons, it's gone again. You will have to download the update mentioned previously.

Make sure to go into settings, software updates and check the HTC one. If it doesn't come up, keep checking throughout the day. That is what I had to do after I hard reset when device after taking the 1st update.
You will need the additional software update to get your phone icon back as that update does not stick on a hard reset. It will show up without it, but once you change it will not be available again like mentioned.

Strange... You may be right though my icon is back

[Q] Lost Lockscreen(Cannot Unlock or use phone)

Soo heres my setup:
Rom: Das BAMF 2.0-5
Radio: MR2
So I was using my phone just fine and then decided to restart it after doing abunch of updates to apps etc.
Then all of a sudden once it boots back up there is no lockscreen what so ever, so I cannot unlock my phone in order to use it, I didn't have the pattern/pin/password lockscreen just the basic slide to unlock one.
I can see the notification bar at the top of the screen but I am unable to pull it down due to the phone basically being locked... I also cannot turn off/restart the phone because I cannot get it unlocked..
I tried a battery pull or two and everytime I boot it up the same thing happens..
can you get into recovery? if so it may be a good idea to go to a backup. I have never heard of that issue before:S
you need a car dock to unlock it and change the lockscreen,what happened is the default wallpaper lockscreen vanished, or reinstall the rom over the top again,i have asked many times can never get an answer as to why or how to fix it any other way.

I have the bamf rom on my SD card, but I also have the stupid radio update on there so I cannot get to the recovery until I get home otherwise I could fix it..
But thank you for your help, hopefully that will fix it. How does the car dock work? I had a moto droid previously and that car dock had a magnet in it that would some how put the phone into car dock mode. What does the thunderbolt's do?
basically the same thing,you out it in the dock and it starts the car dock app,when you remove it the phone is unlocked,then go to tje settings customize and change the lock screen,you will see only five and should be six

Well I don't have a car dock, so I ended up flashing the bamf rom back over it and that did not help.. Just ended up doing a factory reset and re-flashing the rom again..
thank you for your help guys

Hence the reason I love the feature of menu to unlock also

I just had the lock screen issue. That sucked. I freaked for a bit, but I was able to save it in recovery. Now to get my phone back to the way I like it... x_x
Best thing is to change the lockscreen,it has happened to me on every th band so far most of the time right after a back up

how do you get menu to unlock
You can try reflashing in recovery,I used my car dock to unlock the phone then change to the weather lock screen

Having this issue too...hopefully someone can figure out what is causing it.
To get around it, I installed a new lockscreen from the android market website, did cache & dalvic wipe, then reboot. Not sure which of those actually fixed the issue, but I'll probably be re-flashing today anyway.
I have experienced the same bug on Liquid roms. I had to wipe/factory reset and reinstall everything.
Someone in the Liquid thread told me it was due to the underclock while idle being too low. Thoughts?
I tried the car dock to unlock and the phone did not unlock. The notification bar showed it was in car mode, but it did not unlock the phone. Any ideas besides reflashing?

[Q]

at&t update blocked my atrix
I have at&t atrix but it's unlocked and I'm using it in Europe with my carrier.
Couple days ago I was notified that there is an update from att and that I should download, which I didn't do, but anyway phone downloaded package itself and it reminded me every hour that I should install it and no data will be lost. I did that finally last night but now I can't get it to work, there is android icon and ! sign on it and it has been there the whole night but will not turn on again. finally I took the battery out and than returned it, it started to work for one minute and than it showed -turning off, and android icon is now on the screen again???
Please help or advise!
If you press the up and down volume buttons when the icon appears, do you enter a menu?

I'll give it a try and reply.....
well I took it to service center, they told me that they can enter in that menu, but they can root it again, but all data will be lost.... can I avoid loosing data???
If they just factory reset and reflash the rom, you shouldn't lose things like pictures and music, but you will lose app data including saved games and text messages.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it's done, they charged me cca. 30$ but managed to save phonebook and photos, all else is lost. I can deal with that but I'm frustrated that this was caused by at&t update where I didn't have option to say no, just install now or install later. It also said that all data will be saved, which obviously was a lie. How can they do that, I didn't want this update at all.
This is very inconvenient for me, but than again it seems that no one cares!
Official update my as.......
Thank you for advice but this sucks!

Update android doesn't work

I've tried to update android time and time again, but nothing ever changes. I'm still running android 2.2.1 on my HTC thunderbolt. I've factory reset more than once and now I've rooted to see if that would change anything. In the screenshot below you can see that on the status page it never seems to recognize or put in my phone information. It's correct under about phone software, but not when I try to go to the status page.this has been like this since I bought the phone when it first came out. I'm thinking it might be the reason why I can't update. When I select check update a dialogue comes up that says something like "checking for updates", then it just goes away and doesn't do anything.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] AT&T software update

The 4.3 update of my HTC One got 2.8MB downloaded and then stopped. I let it sit for a couple hours and it didn't change at all. I tried several things to "kick" it into motion, but nothing worked (turning on/off data, etc.).
In a desparate attempt to get it to continue, I restarted my phone (bad choice, I see). Now, when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. No dialogs -- nothing.
Is there a way I can clear out the partial download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
Thanks for any help!

Mine did the same thing. What I found is that it needs Wifi to complete the download. If you restart the phone and let it see Wifi, it should resume the download without any interaction from the user.
Try this
1. I disabled Power Saver Mode and all the options obviously
2. I turned off the option in the Settings --> Power --> Turned off the sleep mode where the data connection gets cut off during long periods of inactivity after the screen is off
3. Went to Settings --> Wifi --> Advanced and then turned on the option for best WiFi performance
4. Set the screen time out to 10 minutes, try to keep the screen from timing out just in case and dont use your phone while it is downloading
5. Powercycled my Router and Modem
6. Restarted the Phone and tried to update then!
GOODLUCK!

This was exactly the issue! I actually didn't need to restart the phone though. I just enabled WiFi and the download resumed.
Perfect. Thank you soooo much!

A different twist for me...
I'm experiencing a similar issue, but with a twist...
After what looked like a successful DL of the OTA 4.3 OS Update on my AT&T HTC One, the actual update never kicked off.
Now when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. You can see the button move, but you get no response, No dialog, Nothing....
Is there a way I can kick off the DL'ed update file or clear out the [possibly corupted?] download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?
The DL happened Thurs Oct 10th 9AM.. I had a similar type hiccup the last Maintenance Update that AT&T / HTC sent out, and waiting 24 hrs cured that... But, as of now, more than 24 hrs later, No Joy!!
Anyone out there have a fix??
Please Advise.

Try disabling fastboot and restarting your phone. Mine kinda did that on the maintenance update. Hope it works for you..

Sadly, that did not work for me...
I spoke with the AT&T Support folks and they have indicated that the only way to resolve this issue is to do a Factory Reset.... Ugghh!!
I'm backing up my phone now and seriously thinking of doing just that.. Can anyone talk me off that ledge??
Much Joy!!

So, being the patient kind of guy I am, I fought back the urge to do a Master Reset, as the good folks @ AT&T told me was the only way to remedy my issue, and instead slept on it....
Lo and behold, 48hrs after the initial failed DL / No Upgrade, I got the "Update available for my Device" pop-up... The DL was a bit faster, at the end the Upgrade kicked off as expected, and all is well...
Patience is one of the most important tools you can keep in your bag-o'-tricks... Good luck to all out there...

[Q] Missed update also notification pulldown

Ok, so I'm on at&t and I got the notice for the 4.2.2 update. I wanted to do a factory reset before the update, which I did, but now when I go into settings and check for updates it tells me there are no update available. I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whats going on and how I go about getting the update now. What's even more frustrating is the 24hr wait time between update attempts. Is there any way around any of this. By the way I am stock and unrooted.
Also a secondary question is about the notification pulldown. I don't know if it's just coincidental to this factory reset, or something that I amazingly never noticed, but I can pull down the notification tray from the lockscreen. I can't believe I've never noticed this before. Is this supposed to behave this way? Is there a setting that I've missed that was reset? It's annoying cause it easily unlocks when I put the phone in my pocket. I can't believe it's supposed to work that way as it completely defeats the purpose of the lock screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I had your exact same problem. I decided to follow the suggestion @grigoriisi provided and it worked. Step by step, this is how I pulled it off.
1- I reset the phone to stock settings, after which point I suffered your same problem. I checked for updates and it said my software was up to date.
2- I went to the Time/Date settings and changed the date by 1 full day. By this point, I checked again for updates and it found one and started downloading the small update.
3- After the phone rebooted, I checked again for update and it said my software was up to date.
4- I then moved further ahead in time by another full day. After this, I checked for update and it found the full update and began downloading it.
5- Afterwards everything went as expected. Once the phone was up and running (And fully updated) I reset the date to the correct one.
Note: Some networks (as in Office WiFi or not optimally configured home networks) may prevent the phone from reaching the update server in the first place. Check for the update using your LTE connectivity, and once it starts downloading switch to the WiFi.
the trick of checking for the update on LTE worked! Switched over to wifi after getting the notification and am updating. Thanks!
