[Q] Ghosted HTC Evo3D - HTC EVO 3D

I have a good one for anyone, I have a Evo3D which I am going to do all those wicked things to.. but last night or rather this am around 645. this Evo turned its self on and set off a alarm in which I had never set. when I was trying to shut off the alarm it started clicking away at the camera.. but there is no sd card in it, so it did not save them. and I had to pull the battery to shut the cell off again. the button on the top would not function the cell. this was a very strange occurrence while I was 3/4 asleep.. the cell is not activated and its banded sprint.. has anyone ever heard of this before? I have currently taken the battery out of the cell in case of ghostly occurrences.

never heard of anything like this .. if the cell isnt activated, then nobody could be remotely controlling it via the cell radio.
was it connected via wifi?
is the device internal memory write protection unlocked? rooted? are you running any type of custom ROM or software on the device?
sure sounds like a very odd occurance .. my only guess would be maybe you were a bit sleepy?

No this thing is stock.. and I'm not the only one who heard the alarm. my partner who was in bed with me heard it also.. and this morning we both said how freakin weird..

Are you sure the phone wasnt just in sleep mode. I cant see how the phone would turn on by itself. That would be the best invention ever.

ok here is the thing, I had taken the battery out and put it back in, and never turned the cell on. it was just laying there waiting for me to decide what to do to it.. IE root, rom mgr etc. When the damn thing just did this.. a self starting phone that rang the alarm at 645 am.. and when I picked it up the camera started acting wacky and I had to pull the battery to shut it back off.. weird huh.

Whatever you are smoking, you should probably share.

Weird
That does sound a little crazy......was alcohol involved

Record it!

would be the best invention? LOL My old phone Moto ROKR E6 have that ability. You know the phone was released in 2006.

heres the follow up. HTC whom i contacted said " that the on off button and the hardware in the notifications for the alarm was in a stuck loop meaning that it needs repaired . so its still under warranty and is on its way back to them. hopefully it will be fixed and returned. that they have seen this on this model. Im glad someone knew what the world is up.

oh and also i'm sorry I was not smoking anything, isn't my style.. sorry

[q] htc hd2 clock

Hello
I got my HTC HD2 recently but I am really puzzled why and how they put such an inconvenient clock.
Is it anybody here who can solve my problem.I just want a clock which will work even when device is powered off, like any cell phone.
Thanks
Dane
If the device is powered off, then the display will be too, how will you see the clock?
I think what he means is he wants the phone to switch on the when the alarm time comes round. Sounds simple. But as it was explained to me that requires a separate device to be built into the handset that operates as a clock independant of the phone functions. Sadly the HD2 uses a software device which switches off with the rest of the phone features.
Nokias do it. But then nokias dont do the things the HD2 does. Its a trade off. Get an alarm clock from your local market for £3.99. Or a watch.
clock
well,no matter if the display is shut down when time is set then the display turns on and you see the desired time while alarm is snoozing.When you dismiss display turns off.
Thats how it works in all cell phones.
Is there any computer geek who could fix that missing feature?
Thanks
Ok, seems i misunderstood you. When I press my power button, the screen comes on, and a clock is on my lock screen, so I see the time. Just like that.
No way to bypass that software?Switching off everything but the clock?
nope. the clock requires winmo to be active and running to operate.
And no way to mix with winmo?
If the next winmo7 works like that I wont get it
Thanks
Why not just leave the phone on and put it on silent, you will still hear the alarm and the display will light up whilst the alarm goes off.
wow, one little feature, most of us didn't even realize that some cellphones had would turn you off of WinMo forever??? Wow...
And to think, I've been making due with a little battery powered alarm clock for the last 15 years....
i knew it was missing. i check all my phones for it. i miss it. but its not a deal breaker. actually its been some years since i had a phone that did it. still miss it though.

I am also surprised phones do not 'wake up' with alarm when turned off..
I still use my old ****ty phones (Sony ericsson, nokias) as alarm clocks, coz they are so loud and so good and never fail to wake up.
HTC never got their clocks/alarm system working on their phones, its a real pity. I dont trust my HTC as an alarm clock
Right now, im having a clock problem, the phone keeps changing the time by itself, always adding 2 hours... its a real pain... need to find a solutioin to this.
Outstanding!

Phone will not turn on

Yesterday, I was at the beach, phone was fine, later i go into the bag of things I brought out to check my shiny new Evo 3D, only to find it turned off, and I haven't been able to get a thing working all day, won't come on, wont give me a startup vibrate, screen flash, charge light, or anything. No water damage either I've checked the water indicator and nothing is different. Any ideas on how to get it back up and running.
Also, my girlfriends OG Evo will come on, but no screen, screen will not show anything even though capacitive buttons glow a normal, no water damage on her phone either.
Yes I posted this yesterday but under a weird title
Yes I have battery pulled
Yes I have tried a new SD card, and completely removing the SD
Don't know what else to try
Please help
Maybe the sun borked something in the units. I don't know if you left it baking in the sun but I know that leaving it in direct sunlight for prolonged period of time can wreak major havoc on LCD screens.
When you plug in the device you do you at least get a charge light indicator?
I'd suggest cooling down the device but since you said this was yesterday I don't see how this could help you.
Battery pull, fan cool down, wait an hour, reassemble and try again.
If no go. 611 my friend

The sun could of baked your phones both of them depending on how hot it was at the beach . I know the sun will **** up a lcd screen. Since your both having issues im guessing it was from the sun so I would take it to sprint and get it checked out .

I went to a sprint store today, they cant touch it until 30 days, I'm not sure how it could have gotten so overheated, It was left in the bottom of the bag, and everything else down there was fairly cool, i tried cooling it over the ac though.
And no, no charge light at all
question
How many days have you had it... Seems like a defective phone from the get go to me. I would be pissed if I bought a new phone and it died in 2 days. Return the phone and don't take no for an answer!!! They should give you another one.

I agree. Take the 3vo back demand an exchange. Take the evo back separately (maybe different store altogether) and have the tech fix it or do the insurance deal.
Beaches are the graveyards of electronics. Don't take them there unless you plan on burying them during your visit.
in your shoes!
Hey I am having the same Problem (diff circumstances, not beach temps I am in Chicago) I was at my friends apt tonight showing off the EVO 3D when the screen just went black! The phone said it had over 70% battery remaining. It has been about 3 hours since and the phone will not turn back on. I have taken out the battery plugged in power and done it all backwards too. I don't know what to do right now. I got this phone TODAY!!!

Did you do the OTA update ? Isn't there a hard reset ? I haven't messed with the OTA yet. Got my phone today from sprint online. Anyways I know the HTC touch pro 2 had a SLEEP issue it was called the SOD screen of death phone would turn screen off and you couldnt get it to wake up at all. You had to pull battery multiple times to get the sucker to work.

I have been trying to hard reset my device all night now! I have been trying this method: google search EVO 3D hard reset and its the first link... basicly it says hold down your vol down button then hold the power button but nothing happens for me.
but to no avail! I have tried taking the batt out multiple times and press the power button. I have tried keeping the batt out with the power cord plugged in. nothing is working!

they just dont wanna becuz they might have to swap you and theres no referbs yet so they would have to give a new one and dont want to cuz they would rather sell it
so they have to take a look at it call CS 1800 theyll walk you threw all the stuff you tried (that didnt work) once its doesnt work with their help thell issue you a repair ticket and then the store will have to look at
Efff that...RETURN both phones as defective.
my evoG had 3 returns before i was happy.
Today my 3d decided to turn off and not turn back on after selecting an application. had to pull the battery to get it back up again..
HW002.. I will be taking mine back in .. seems enough people are having the device just shutdown on them for no good reason.
Remove the sdcard then try and boot the phone.
I ordered it online on the 21st, So what I really want to know, is if i take it to a corporate store with the box and all items that came with it, will they allow me to swap it there, or will I have to call CS and have them send a replacement?

Need some help with cell standby turning on airplane mode, among other things

So yesterday I upgraded to ICS. I am running stock phone with no mods done to it.
I am attaching some pictures for you guys to see what the problem is. The battery level starts from when Unplugged the phone to download ICS.
Now I am connected to wifi all day and night because I get no signal in this place. Its a basement appartment. As you can see, I went to bed, and for some reason mobile network signal popped on the entire time while I was sleeping. This has NEVER happened before. Then I got up and took my phone and put it on the charger and as you can see it automatically went right back onto wifi Fine.
My question is what is going on with that? My only conclusion is the cell standby which was on for 5 hours and 4 mins as you can see in the picture.
It also says switch to airplane mode to save power in area with no coverage. Is that what it is doing ?? and how do I take that off??. I cant go the whole night without having service and not getting anything.
Why would my wifi go off?
And incase you ask, no I do not have any juicedefender on my phone
Thanks guys
The phone shuts off the WiFi when data comes on... That part is normal.
However, I have not the slightest clue why your mobile network would just turn on by itself when not being used. The color of your data readings is a different color than I've seen also. Very strange

I guess I will see what happens tonight. Something is turning off Wifi when the phone goes on standby or when I dont use it for a while I am assuming. Just no idea how that can happen. There are not any settings I can set for it either to stop it. Hope some people on the board have an idea
EDIT: Wait I think I found a solution. What do you guys think?
Maybe this needs to be on always.

Yup, you should have the first one selected if you want wifi to stay on while your screen is off.

Subtle, endless ring?

I just got my DNA recently - loving it so far. I haven't done any tweaking / rooting, etc... I've had 1 recurring issue which I can find NO information on.
Once a day, at seemingly random times, the DNA will just start ringing, endlessly. The volume on the ring is always very soft (whether volume is on max, silent, or vibrate), however it never ends unless I reboot. I've force killed every possible running application, but still it keeps going.
There are no alarms set, no calls coming in, no other notifications. While I reboot to stop the ringing, the ringing continues until the power completely drops (through the shutting down splash screens).
Any troubleshooting ideas? Anyone else experience this?
cant say that i have experienced this. havent heard anyone else complain of it either. But flashing a new kernel aand rom will likely solve the problem.
Sounds like the internal overheat alarm. Your phones defective go exchange it

Thanks x4sper. That was my initial guess. When it does start, it is a bit warm, but nothing more-so than a heavy gaming spree would do. Are there any apps not requiring root that would show temperature statistics?

most of the battery widgets in the market have temp monitoring.
Don't check m8, GO exchange it, take advantage of your warranty while you can. Maybe you install one "wrong" app and they send you an invoice or something. Seriously, I don't know what kind of insurance you're on, around here lately they started the "no-matter-what" so even stolen, you broke it, they broke it, it broke by itself you're covered. If you don't have something like that don't take any chances.
And yes, it's most probably the temperature alarm.

This just happened to me yesterday. First I thought it was the battery temp alarm too, but my battery was only about 85 degrees. After searching the phone, and the services and the apps running, nothing would stop it. Even when I turned it off and back on, it still did it. It took a battery sim-pull for me to get it to stop.
I have a Droid DNA, and after searching, it does seem to affect other phones (at least other Droid phones)
I then did a little searching ... here are two links that helped (I think)-- I can't post links yet but i'll try to mal-form them and you can put them back together

A site: w w w. droidxforums.com / forum / droid-x-help / 26013-droid-x-constantly-ringing.html
So, (at least in my case) the 'roaming alarm' seems to be the cause of it. I was down in my work's basement in the lab-- very poor reception. I'm pretty sure my phone switched to roaming (it's usually 1x with barely 1 bar down there). I do have the 'roam alarm' checked on in the settings.
However, what I don't get, is why it would not stop-- even after I was a full 5 bars (3g-- work repeaters don't repeat lte).
Anyway, I hope this helps...

Mine did that the other day while on the charger. It started before I woke up and continued until I made a call some 20 minutes later. One thing I discovered was all the sound options were grayed out. While it was making the noise I put it on vibrate. I also had a Verizon tech on another phone, he had no clue. He also contacted HTC, they never heard of such a thing. Go figure. For what it's worth This unit is rooted s-off and on .stock 204. This is my 2nd unit, the first one also did it when on Viper. I have seen of several instances of this happening as noted in other forums. My guess is a software programming issue in the base rom.
EDIT :
I contacted HTC there is NO overheat alarm in the unit. If it overheats it will shut down!!!

FWIW, mine is stock rom -- not rooted.
Just had this happen to me. Full battery, full 4g reception, and not running anything! I did a restart and gone for now.

Unknown cause - only restart stops it
I have the same problem and posted in another thread, but this ringing sound is not related to overheating, roaming or anything else as far as I can tell. It's happened at least 6 or more times over the last several months. I do know that if you have your buds in and it starts chirping it is a full volume blast even though the media volume is turned way down. I had that experience yesterday while at work. While listening to music I still need to hear the paging system so my music is faint, but the ringing went straight through my head from ear to ear. Battery temperature was 86 F degrees, wasn't roaming, didn't have any alarms or alerts set, nothing on the notification bar and the ring sound is not one I can pick from any list. The only way to stop it is to restart the phone. Damned annoying!
I'm hoping that the future Verizon update for my DNA (Sense 5 and a more current Android version) will fix the problem. Someday the handset manufacturers will be able to incorporate an adaptive radio that can cover a range of say 400 Mhz to 5 Ghz and we'll just work with one radio to cover all our needs and connect with any friendly source. If we had that today I'd have a HTC One in my pocket.

[Q] Really love the z2, BUT...........

I will have to trade it in if i cant find a solution for my issue
Basically i have only 2 issues with my phone
1) I keep my phone in my back pocket generally, but quite often when i pull it out of my pocket, the little door for the sim card/charger has popped open........ altho it makes me a bit scared to submerge it, i can live with this
2) This is the dealbreaker, if i cant solve this the z2 will be getting sold and something else will take its place. Again this only occurs in my pocket, but every single time i pull phone out, its changed the homescreen...... widgets either get added toor removed from homescreen, apps open and run, music player starts and stops by itself, notification bar quick settings icons get added or removed, flight mode gets activated, silent activated etc
I believe this is caused ny the screen reacting to metals, wood and lead, is therea way to turn this feature off so it will only work with my finger touching the screen?
As i said, its a fantastic phone and id like to keep it, but as long as it gonna keep doing these random things in my pocket then its just not worth keeping
You could see if 'Glove mode' is selected in Settings > Display. If it is, turn it off.

Your flap is defective. Same thing happened to me. I've bought a new flap (for about 10€) and now it's fine.
Then, don't open your flap too often, prefer wireless file transfer and charging via magnetic port.

The screen will still respond to metal objects and pencil lead etc, but it should be activated by your backside through your jeans anymore.
Crap..... glove mode is not switched on........ guess it gotta go up for sale then. Will be sad to see it go tho, n yeah already got magnetic charger n wireless connect.... ive only actually opened that door twice lol
Or another possibility, as im rooted, is there something i could remove/freezethat will stop the screen responding to other materials????
Not to my knowledge. It's strange, I often carry mine in my back pocket (screen facing inwards) and have never had the screen turn on. I can't say the same for my G3 which often turns the screen on.
Since it is isolated case and no one else expierenced this as far as i can tell its user error, you got dodgy apps or there is something wrong with the way you handle the phone.

possibly but i wouldnt have thought so..... i dont treat this phone any differently to any other phone ive owned (well.... actually i havent thrown the z2 across the room...... yet, lol) and as far as apps go, i only actually have 5 or 6 downloaded apps installed, all of which i have used without issue on previous phones, and deleted around half of the useless (to me) pre loaded system apps, and its been doing it since i had it, well since a few days after i got it, but the first few days were a weekend and i wasnt at work just chilling at home so phone didnt really go in pocket

Actually yesi do have that switched on..... even if that the cause tho, my work trousers arent made of wood,metal or lead so screen shouldnt be responding to my backside. I will turn it off n see how it goes tho, it might be the cause but then again you gotta be quite precise for that double tap t work anyway and my backside is tiny lol so maybe not........ great suggestion tho

I will turn it off n see how it goes tho, it might be the cause but then again you gotta be quite precise for that double tap t work anyway and my backside is tiny lol so maybe not........ great suggestion tho

Well I just tried my phone unlocked against my jeans and it still detects and operates the screen... So you never know

I have knock on turned off - otherwise when walking with the phone in my pocket listening to the FM radio, I end up sending several texts and emails....
Update: It appears it was actually the 'tap to wake' causing the issue..... i turned it off and went to work friday night and when i got home saturday morning phone was exactly how it should have been, no open apps, no options changed, no icons removed. Nice feature but think ill leave it off forever lol
