Had this problem for a few months now, but wasn't a big deal - until one needs it.
I can view web pages with no problem. RSS is fine. SMS & emails are perfect.
But downloads get stuck.
Downloading a podcast in RSS fails. IE will sit on downloading forever. Opera (the version that comes with the x7501) will give me a "connection has been interrupted" message, which you can then resume. Resume it around 20 times, and you'll eventually get the file. Opera 9.5 gets stuck & sits there.
The new Youtubedownloader gets stuck downloading files also.
The cap seems to be around 180k. Small files under that work fine, but anything bigger gets stuck.
I did a hard reset last night (after a backup) - same problems.
AT&T support is not much help. If you tell them you're using the Advantage, they go with the "not supported line". So I told them I was using a Touch - but hit compatibility problems with their Media.net download attemps.
SO - just me? I can't imagine a hardware problem that could cause it, but AT&T swears that they don't block things.
it's not a hardware problem at all, i was also getting this problem. there can be a number of things affecting your device: it could be that they're working on the towers in your area. it can be a weather situation. the athena is registered as an edge device on ATT's network so you have to let them know that it's a 3G device and should update there settings accordingly.
i don't have that problem, i used to but not anymore. it was frustrating for me because downloading is a part of my daily device use, lol. i spent three days on the phone with them, when they finished i even had better signal strength. what you could also try is to flash another rom (different build than the one you want to use) then flash back. plus what radio are you using? for me i had less problems with 1.58
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I've had this device for at least a year now, probably more. For quite a while I had no problems downloading.
Around 6 months ago the problem started. I think I noticed it on my RSS reader first (and thought it was a bug in their software), but experiments showed it was the whole phone.
I figured AT&T did something to my settings or their network. But it didn't affect me much, so I ignored it.
Now, it's starting to bug the heck out of me.
(so it's not a weather or tower thing)
I didn't know that AT&T can register devices as Edge or 3G. When I connect, it does show HSPDA
When I'm connected to the Internet, I see "MEdia Net (3G)" or "HSPDA" - and if I'm indoors, sometimes "EDGE." Does that mean I'm set up correctly, or can the phone mis-report which network I'm on?
I've never flashed this thing since I've had it - never even looked at those threads - always thought they were more for people that had Windows Mobile 5 & were updating to 6 - or for those packages with lots of utilities built into the flash.
Lessee.. Device Info:
ROM: 2.19.453.4
Radio: 1.47.51.00
Guess I'll start with running a search for Radio 1.58 & see where I can download it and how to install it.
I assume since it's flashed, programs like SPB backup won't help if I have to roll back?
Just for others that may read this thread - I'm starting my reading about flashing with the following threads:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
ok, make sure you unlock your phone first before you try to flash anything. I'm using bootloader 1.2, and radio 1.58.
yes, on your phone it's registered as 3G but on their network it's registered as an edge device. you'll still get good speed but sometimes it can cause problems.
at work i used to have 2 bars on edge and nothing better unless i go beside a door or window. but now i have 2bars 3G and I'm not close to the window.
i would say your radio is at fault, so when you unlock, try a newer radio and see if it helps.
rom flashing is not just for people with older OS, but people who want the most out of their phone. the cooks here gives you more free space and free memory, they remove the operator's junk, the put in their tweaks and other things which gives you a faster device. their roms will make you feel like the first time you got your phone and was just playing with it none stop. they breathe new life in these devices, trust me. lol no joke.
if you decide to try a cooked rom just make sure you read up and follow the instructions properly. happy flashing.
to tell you the truth, i do believe it's your radio, maybe they updated their towers in your area which is causing problems with your older radio. i don't know but that seems to be a good explanation.
Did a lot of reading this morning.
I ran the AthenaUnlocker (step 1 only) - no problems.
I then ran the Athena-Radio 1.58 - which ran fine, but device won't boot (black screen only with glowing green power).
Trying to re-do the 1.58 again to see if I get luckier - if not, I'll try the 1.57.. and if not that I'll have to download an original rom and hope I can get something going!
(right now my faith in the different ROM's isn't too high)
Which one are you running?
No luck on retry. 1.57 radio extracts to something very different then 1.58. Can't find the link to 1.50 yet either.
Trying ROM: "RUU_Athena_HTC_US_2.19.453.4_105_1.47.51.00_Ship.exe" now to see if I can get back to where I started.
(I assume the 1.47 at the end of the file means I will get back to the original radio)
I didn't use the AthenaWrapper anywhere in there - was I supposed to do that?
Many of the posts in the upgrade section kind of assume that a newer person has already read every single threat in the forum. I see lots of posts from confused people & lots of rude "search the forum" type of responses.
Wiki could use some help also - kind of a ..
If you own a US x7501, run the unlocker from this thread (link), then do this (link) etc, then do the radio (this link). If you get a black screen, follow these steps..etc.
had you unlocked your phone?
One last thing for now - reading the 1.58 radio, I don't see where the hard-spl is done by anyone yet. Reading over some of the spl posts to see if want to start over with one of those (like 1.2 for example) and then try the radio.
But I think I'll wait to hear which spl you're on first.

He said he did steps 1 only lennie. If I recall correctly you need to do steps two and three for the radio to unlock. He might need to do all three steps as step one's for CID unlock. {I THINK}
Do ALL the unlock steps, then retry radio 1.58. As you've probably seen from my many posts on this subject, 1.58 is a must-flash for the best network speeds. Personally I think 1.57 had better bluetooth sound quality, but either is far better than the stock 1.47. And the speed gains in 1.58 make the slightly worse sound quality a non-issue.
It's already an unlocked phone (sim), so in theory 2 & 3 were not needed.
Now that I was able to do a restore from ROM back to working order (and testing doing a restore on SBP backup - so I'm good now) - I might risk trying it again when I have a little more info.
Based of what I read, steps 2 & 3 should not be necessary... but should not hurt either. So I will probably try that.
I also have a complete 1.57 radio now to try, and I think I found 1.50 also.
The 1.57 thread seems to think that you don't even need to unlock the phone at all.
Main questions - does radio 1.58 work with the Hard SPL? If not, which SPL (preferably with link) are people using? Do I need the Wrapper at all?
Edit - going to do the 3 steps & try 1.58 now.
--
Steps 1 & 2 done, doing step 3 now. Question - if this works, and if the 1.58 radio works ... can I still restore from my SPB backup, or do I need to re-install everything from scratch.
---
Finished the radio 1.58 patch... and it looks like it's booting (no black screen). I peeked at the Device Info after step 3 and before 1.58 - looks like the same ROM, but radio 1.50.
It's up and doing the Customization stuff now. I'm thinking about installing SPB Backup & doing a backup before the restore just in case. Not to mention, even if I can restore my good backup, now would be the idea time to clean up & re-install everything from scratch.
---
Well, well - ROM is still 2.19.453.4, and Radio is now 1.59.00.00 - excellent! Will update again shortly.
---
Welp, backup up the phone & ran the Opera Browser and tried to download a 30 meg podcast......and got the same old "Connection was Interrupted message" - or a lot of work for no end result on flashes
Go the same 1.18 megs (I think I put k in the earlier message) - so no difference. Going to try to restore my backup now.
BTW, my backup before I started was 60.8 megs (!). The clean one is only 8.24 megs. I gotta see what's taking up all that space!

Following up on this idea - AT&T has me registered as an 'unknown' but now have me as a 3G device. They looked up the model to decide what to put me on. Rep said wouldn't cause my problems, (it would just affect speed), but nice to have it correct.
(testing now...... seems to be on Edge. I just went outside, rebooted - still Edge. Guess I'm calling them back now!)
Back home - phone is now correctly showing HSPDA!
..and I'm happy to say, I was able to download a 25 meg file on the way!
Could be the combo, but I think it was lennie's simple suggestion of making sure that they had me registered me as a 3G device!
Thanks lennie!

Next morning - problem is back, even after a reboot. Will call AT&T shortly & see if the setting somehow changed back
I've discovered a severe "bug" that is not an isolated issue. I am using the AT&T branded Titan, unlocked on Telus Mobility. Works like a charm however after replacing my Titan several times I've discovered there is a MAJOR reoccurring bug in the OS which causes the Titan to "crash" when the storage capacity has reached a certain amount. I have tested it on several replacement Titans. I have also encountered this crash more than 10 times and can reproduce it easily. Other users have also reported encountering the same crash upon testing.
When this "crash" takes place when you have filled your storage with media or apps beyond approx. 75% (this may now be inaccurate). Based on my testing the crash occurs sooner when the storage is filled higher. In some instances it occurred within 20 min or less of storage reaching over 90% capacity. In a few cases it crashed the next day. These crashed are not caused by anything specific but will occur randomly. I've witnessed the crash in 2 forms. One a UI glitch which I will explain in a moment. The other is simply the phone being stuck on the white HTC boot screen which can only be resolved with a hard reset. The other more common crash appears as a UI glitch at first and you can no longer launch any apps, any tiles or anything at all. You are forced to do a soft reset (which tricks you to think this fixes the odd UI glitch). Upon soft reset the phone will take much longer to reboot than normal. This is because it's actually entering the first time setup process! Your Windows Live Hotmail hub and account settings are magically and permanently removed as well as your Facebook settings. It is impossible to re-add these back and it will only give you repeated errors when trying to do so.
However, all your previous apps, media and some settings will be oddly retained.. for a temporary time until another crash forcing a hard reset. Before this occurs I recommend transferring any personal media off the phone to risk losing it. At this point a hard reset is the only way you can re-add your Windows Live Hotmail account and Facebook account. And of course this causes utter sadness since you lose all your settings, media, apps and any Xbox Live game progress (in my case A LOT of progress).
As mentioned this is not an isolated issue and needs to be addressed. I have decided to contact HTC directly about this in hopes for a resolution. Originally it was thought when you go over 75% capacity of storage this crash would occur however I discovered yesterday that this crash occurred for me with only 7Gb storage remaining BUT was stable for over a month before the crash occurred.
I really hope HTC or Microsoft address this issue. I have heard from Titan users in Europe this issue was resolved in an update. However this update is not available to North America.
I have uploaded a video of the UI glitch version of the crash here and what occurs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2enkDBdixCc .
Oh man that would suck. Tomorrow I will fill my titan to the brim. Stay tuned

Filling my Titan up now, I'll let you know the result.
Filled to 557mb remaining. Filled with movies and TV shows. No panic attacks yet. I'll keep using as normal.
I have 1988mb remaining. Dint have much to fill but loaded with massive movies. So far no panic attacks. Using it as normal. Will give it a few hours or maybe even 24 hrs. Do you want me to do anything specific that will freeze it?
All apps launch fine from tiles as well as app list.

Give it a day or so I'd say. The first Titan would crash almost immediately. First sign is when hubs would not open. On the current Titan I had it filled for about 2 days then it started giving Active X errors in Internet Explorer while streaming html 5 videos. I had a feeling it wasn't normal so I closed IE then the phone crashed and I couldn't open any hubs or apps.
Lets see what happens.. Could take a day or so with heavy use. Based on my tests sometimes even soft resets can initiate a crash.
Could it be...
I filled my Titan to less than 600 megs after I added all my music and apps from my Focus. From time to time when browsing the internet, the page will freeze then IE kicks my to the homescreen. When I reopen IE, it's has no history of the page I was just browsing. This has happened over twenty times in five days I've had my Titan.
Bug fixed with new release
I had the same problem but it has been solved with the last firmware realease.

that's great news but on the ATT model I'm not finding any updates through Zune. I even tried forcing any updates but still nothing..
I noticed the same thing. I think it may actually be the app storage which you can change in the zune settings. I changed mine from 5 to 10% and so far so good. I wasn't that close to running out of room in my media storage.
@audichris9
Changing these values will not resolve the problem. If you record a big video on your device, you'll probably loose it. It append to me.
The only way is to wait the firmware release in your country.
i have been having the same problem.
i won my titan at a windows party, and now i have it unlocked to work on t-mobile. i thought it was because i unlocked it, it started freezing. but i hard reset, loaded it up, and then it froze again. im tired of having to redo the phone cus its like over 100 apps to redownload everytime plus music. also my google mail wont work so i guess i will be hard resetting one more time, and make sure i dont put as much **** on it. its got 7gb of storage still and your right no update for the US yet
The 2 Titans I have are also ones that were won from the MS promo parties. Not sure if that's related. So far this is the most stable its been, its been a week with no forced hard resets. But not sure how long I can go not adding media or recording videos.
I will say that it still hasn't been glitch free. Kik messenger crashes from time to time as went as internet explorer. But at least it hasn't froze or forced to hard reset again.
wow impressive but i agree its scary thinking if u add just one album the phone is ****ed. lately windows messenger goes out of sync and i cant facebook chat. very weird. i restarted the phone then it works. but when i go to settings and try and add it under accounts, it doesnt save. weird.i never had any problems with my hd7. now i get the phone of my dreams and it wants to be a ***** :X haha

I may have stumbled onto either a widespread issue with the Titan or just an issue with a small percentage.
I noticed another member mentioning their first Titan being a dud and crashing at 75% storage capacity. Funny enough I am also on my 2nd Titan and experienced similar problems both times.
Both become unstable only after I installed all my apps, games and media so essentially once it was fully loaded up. Then the phone would crash in some unusual and random way each time forcing me to perform a hard reset. Most commonly the hubs would cause a UI glitch not allowing any apps to be launch. I would be forced to soft reset where then it would take 4 times longer than normal to boot. Then I would be brought back to the Windows Phone first time setup but strangely all my apps and media would still be there except the ATT apps would be restored and some of the original settings would revert. As well you lose you hotmail setup and Facebook sync and neither can be restored without a hard reset so it's a catch 22.
I bought a second Titan thinking I had a lemon the first time but found the second one did the same thing to me once I followed the same routine. It's stable now only because I uploaded a bunch of media to the cloud this time and my storage is at 8.9gb remaining instead of the usual 2gb. I'm scared to transfer movies and other media on to it and fill it up.
Do you think it's an issue with all Titans when you fill it near capacity or is it possible I have 2 lemons? Wondering if anyone else has theirs over 75% capacity?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ran into this exact issue. Just not sure how close I was to capacity, but I would imagine it was definitely over 75%. Not cool...
Curious if MS knows about this issue.. Or if it's Titan specific. I guess in that case we'd need a fix from HTC.
Either way we need a fix for it from either one. We shouldn't have to avoid using storage on our phones forever.

Still flickering for me (Play Store grey-background loading screen) on 1.22 - don't see any difference
SOB!
same here still there :crying:
just installed mean rom 1.4 with the new ota as the base.. So far no flickering..
Was on meanROM 4.2 until today, when I relocked and unrooted in preparation for getting a replacement at Sprint (I'm still within my 30 days). I was going to replace the phone because of this exact problem - a weird, barely-perceptible strobe effect when viewing grays and looking at certain photos in the gallery. And now - after all the hard work of finding an RUU for 2.13, figuring out the android SDK, learning how to use ADB (not to mention the whole initial unlock/twrp bootloader shebang) - I find that I cannot for the life of me make the screen flicker. OK, sometimes there's an extremely brief (~150ms) hint of it all on a gray screen, but absolutely nothing compared to the headache that it was before. I'd recommend completely unrooting/relocking your phone and pushing the correct RUU. QBking77's the best for it - look up his youtube vids on android sdk intstallation/usage, then relocking your bootloader, then unrooting/installing an RUU. Remember to clear your Google Wallet first, and set your fastboot to off (under power settings). After relocking your bootloader, you might notice that you cannot boot past it. That's fine; just push your RUU with fastboot USB. You'll know what I mean after watching the vids.
After all that, if your results were like mine, you'll know it actually had something to do with your custom ROM. I have no idea how that is possible, as I seem to recall a flickering in my stock ROM, too, but I guess I was wrong.
For relocking/unrooting
Step 1: Android SDK setup
Step 2: Relock the bootloader
Step 3: Unroot/Push RUU (for some reason, I had to go straight to pushing RUU from step 2 without booting into any ROM).
From all my scouring online, though, I've noticed that the people most consistently hammered with this problem (especially on screens other than photos in the Gallery or gray colors in the battery histogram of power settings) have build issues with their screens. These include light leak seeming to emanate in bands fanning up out of the home 'button' or graphical issues. These people usually report a fix to the problem once they receive a replacement; the ones with my problems typically complained of having received up to 3 (!) phones in a row with the maddening flicker, suggesting a software issue. It seems that the HTC One X itself was plagued with these problems, with graphical glitches also entering the mix, but an OTA fix a month ago or so minimized issues.
Lemme know how things go... I still have 4 days or so to return my phone if the flicker comes back, haha.
i saw flickering in minecraft, some other apps like ColorMe and even google maps. it was the phone itself, there was something physically wrong with it. Took it to the sprint store, showed them what was wrong. they even unrooted me and updated me to the latest firmware. i re downloaded Minecraft and opened google maps and showed them the problem was still there. and showed them on their own demo phones that it was not normal. Got a new phone.. but now i cant be S-Off.. How ever the flickering started to piss me off too much. Had to do it
For some reason I believe this made it worse for my phone, had minor flickering at first and once I updated it got really horrible. Point where I could pretty much notice it everywhere.

Probably had nothing to do with the update. Hardware problems only get worse until it gets fixed. Think of a crack on your windshield. It grows like an inch a week.
Hello,
I'm looking to figure out if anybody has found a software fix for the issue of screen backlight flickering on our phones. I've hunted down some threads through Google, but found nothing except 'go replace your phone and hope for the best.'
As a reminder, when grays are displayed onscreen (as in Play store loading screen), it seems as though the screen refresh rate can't 'keep up' with those colors. To me, the problem is even more noticeable when viewing pictures in the Gallery - seriously, I feel like I'm watching one of those 3D movies, and my eyes and head start to hurt! It's just enough that it drives me crazy, but other people do also seem to notice it, so I'm not just ACTUALLY going nuts. This problem showed up on stock before I rooted and went MeanROM, so I know it's not my fault. The problem is worse at higher brightness levels, and persists even with manual brightness settings on.
So yeah, anyone else have this problem? Any stories of successfully resolving it? I'm still within my Sprint 30-day replacement period, but already got 3rd-party insurance on my phone, so it'll be interesting to try to get a replacement phone insured under the same policy...
Yep have had this problem for a while now and actually got tired of it this morning and will take my phone back for a replacement whenever I have time! Gets so annoying especially noticing it in the littlest of places.

Whoa, please let me know if your replacement is any better after a day or two of playing with it. I will probably do the same if there's an improvement.

Yeah, woke up this morning and problem was back in full force. I think it might be charge-dependent or temperature dependent (which makes sense if its an analog hardware component like a voltage regulator that's being futzy). I ended up replacing it, too, but Sprint charged me a bull**** $35 because I bought the phone at third-party reseller instead of a corporate store (god... damn... it). Anyway, my new (and refurb, btw) unit has absolutely no problems. Zero. Rooting and reinstalling meanROM now, haha. At least the store people acknowledged that they could also see the problem. Software scans turned up absolutely nothing, although Sprint says HTC does not allow them to open things up because it's a unibody phone, so it's still possible that my regulator was faulty.
Anyway, seems to me that it's a hardware problem having to do with a particular batch of phones. Strange, since my new phone is a 0003 hardware revision, just like my last...
Went today for my 3rd time trying to get a replacement because of this issue and not to mention I got denied a replacement when I was in my 14 grace day period I went in 2 times after that today being the 2nd and I asked for a replacement, I then have to wait for the "tech" to look at it...waited 1 hour to get told it phone has no problems we ran all the tests and passed, me really confused asked her do you even know what the problem is? She replies no....I then am like WTF. I tell her about my issue and try shwowing her and somehow doesn't notice it. Then asks 5 other people and they notice it and then they replace my screen? After I wait another hour (caused me to be late to work) then once done it actually fixed the problem completely, go home to find out she broke my speaker and my sd card won't mount! Drop it off and picked it up and all is fixed. I know want to terminate my contract cuz sprint has been giving me Shi**y customer service since day one! Someone who works at sprint plz help me!

So I was looking to leave my Sprint contract (long story) and decided to sell my Evo 4g LTE to help pay off the massive contract-breaking bill. I'd had my phone rooted and running CM10 nightlies for quite a while without any sort of trouble.
So right before I put the phone on the market, I took out the SD card, and wiped everything using TWRP recovery. This included Cache/Dalvik/System/Factory reset and the only thing I did different, which was to wipe Internal and External storage.
After that, I flashed the latest CM10 nightly at the time (which was cm-10-20121008 at the time) and called it a day as I didn't want to put any of my info on the phone before I sold it.
Flash forward a couple of days, I sell the phone and almost immediately get a call back saying it has no sound at all.
The guy I sold it to tells me he even tried unrooting and flashing the stock ROM to no avail. I bought the phone back from him, and am trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with it.
Since then, I've discovered that not only is there no sound, although occasionally I will hear the buttons click, so I know the speaker hardware itself is fine, There is also no video playback at all, which makes me think this is some sort of software or firmware problem, though I can't tell where the problem lies.
I've tried installing different ROM's and the best I could get out of video was the Youtube app showing still images every couple of seconds, without any sound at all. I tried loading videos to the SD cards only to get a message saying "This video cannot be played" without any further reason.
I'm currently downloading the latest OTA stock ROM to see if I can restore it to Factory settings, but I'm lost as to what could possibly cause this strange behaviour.
Anybody ever encounter something similar? Any ideas what I could try next?
Alternatively, does anyone want a (mostly) working phone at a steep discount?
Have you ran an RUU yet?
How much do you want for it as is?

I tried running the RUU, still won't work.
If you want it, an even $100 will do.
