Hey guy's I bought my evo 3d off craigslist it was working fine few hours later i start getting f/c when i try to set my notification tones, htc hub, sometimes camera app as well. now recently it's gotten worse? freezes to a black screen when i try to open the phones dial pad "lights on the buttom stay lit tho.. or when i open my app drawer it either freezes where it won't recover or randomly shuts off? does this about 5 - 8 times a day! plus with moderate use IE: lil web surfin on wifi, browsing market on a full charge the battery hits the 15% mark within 30-45 minutes? its flashed on metro pcs but it had this prob before it was flashed...
any ideas? is it possible to wipe out the entire phone and re-install the OS and UI etc.. does it need root access for that?
Go to settings/sd and phone storage. There is an option for factory data reset that should put the phone back to factory, and you may need to re flash to metro after
Otherwise, you can run an ruu

I did a factory reset before I had it flashed, is a factory reset the same thing as wiping out the OS and re-installing it?, kinda like a reformat for a pc?
i'm worried that it's not a software issue since i already factory reset.
No, but on every reboot, anything that factory reset doesn't touch is restored to factory anyways because of the s-on protection. Only other choice is to run the ruu

Any idea where I can find an ruu for my device? I was told I need a stock recovery image? sorry I am new to this any help pointing me in the right direction would help.
On my phone, but
I believe this is the link. Just plug your phone in to your pc and run it. This is for a phone without any updates installed, if it gives you a boot loader error you will need a newer one (they're in the dev section here)

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

thanx for reminding me just deleted the radio file from the sd

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
sent from a screamin' bamfed out tbolt
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?
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

I installed p3's prerooted gingerbread last night following the instructions in another thread here. To the best of my knowledge each step completed successfully. However, I have noticed a number of small things that indicate to me that not everything worked 100% the way it should. Can you provide thoughts on how to fix the following issues?
1)I cannot access blur or the updated blur widgets. I've cleared the default app settings under manage applications for go launcher, but everytime I click home go launcher is used.
2)I went to freeze the bloat and noticed none of the blur apps were listed in titanium backup (probably explains the above problem)
3)I went to do a factory reset via recovery (power up with vol down pressed). I accessed android recovery, but it just sat there with the green android and the yellow exclamation point. A battery pull was required to restart my phone. A factory reset from the settings menu worked, but did not resolve these problems
4)My free RAM is lower than I expected after a boot, about 100.
5)I am experiencing audio lag as I was prior to the v6 script in froyo.
Any ideas? I know people has used the sbf to go back from the OTA, but has anyone used it to go back form p3's update?
When you see the android with the exclamation point you have to press vol up and down at the same time

Just checking but did you and back to froyo and do a factory reset. It sounds like something went wrong in one of those processes. I'd retry the whole thing over. SBF first and factory reset before the phone has initial boot.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah, I let it boot prior to ding the factory reset after the sbf. Question is how do I wipe before the initial boot? Once the sbf is done it just booted up, I believe.
I agree, sounds like you didn't factory reset. Unfortunately to advice the best results when upgrading you should sbf, factory reset and instal as little as possible, which in this case would be root and system recovery, then upgrade.
Oh and yes, you can safety sbf back, even from the rooted version.

Reboot into recovery mode, personally I think the factory reset works better this way rather than from the privacy menu.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
So just so I'm clear about this, do I re-activate the phone before or after the SBF or the factory reset.

Sbf, then factory reset. Boot the phone up, the first thing it should do is ask you to activate. It's right there in the first time setup. You can't not do it.

I'm having the same problem. Except when i go to activate it, the screen just locks up and won't do anything. Iv'e sfb'ed and factory reset like 30 times and i still can't get past that screen. UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Sounds like your screen isn't registering your touch, you need to tap him to start, I had to tap him like 20 times last time I sbfed. bring it in to the store if you sbf and factory reset make them fix it

Hi Everyone,
Last Month while away on business in NC my rooted Droid X2 started acting up. When using the hotspot feature it would drop the hotspot after 1 minute then reboot. Once rebooted the hot spot was on off on off on off on off making it useless. So I first wiped cache then data went so far as a restore to factory reset. So now I started reinstalling apps and accounts. After the Gmail sign in phone said sync icon will go away when done syncing. Icon came on went away after 5 minutes or so then back on and has been on since. How do I get it to stop syncing? I have tried all kinds of suggestions I have found on the web but none will get the icon to go away??
Please help me !!!:crying:
Thank you in advance

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
Your last hope may be too sbf to complete stock state. If that doesn't work, you May have borked hardware. It does seem you have just a software issue though. After you sbf, you will have to root again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
Edit: the reason you might have to sbf is a data and cache wipe will not put /system back to normal. If you messed some settings or files up in system, only an sbf will fix it.

Thank you Uzephi I did the sbf to 2.3.4 registered the phone then rerooted. I checked the box to sync google and ended up with the same issue. So I redid. The reset and upgraded to 2.3.5 rerooted same thing. Finaly I did mot check the google sync after 3rd attempt. It finally went away. The icon may not be a problem itself but it drained the battery in 3 hours. A brand new battery infact. So thanks for your reply I am back to a ful day of battery sometimes 2 days if I don't use it lolol.
Matt
Hi
I forgot to mention I did wipe cache and data the fhirst time.
Thanks
Matt
Unfortunately, if sbf didn't work on fixing your issue, it could be something hardware related. Are you able to get GPS lock? If your GPS chip is messed up and cannot get a lock Google could possibly have sync issues as it will try to log your GPS for your check in history.

Since root I constantly lose my ringtone settings and see the memory card disconnect & connect. I have done a restore to the day I rooted & haven't done anything to it aside from changing font & freezing apps but it is still happening. Anyone have any advise or should I just try to unroot? If I have to unroot is there a best way to do it?

afaik the only way to unroot would be to use the flashtool to flash a stock ftf
edit: or maybe use the Full Unroot option is supersu, but Im not sure that returns you to stock completely like flashing a stock ftf.

I guess my first question should have been is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Not experience this. If you haven't tried a data wipe I would give that a try. You'll spend less time setting your phone up again than you would trying to figure out why this is happening. Just one suggestion. Hopefully someone has a better answer

I would do the data wipe from the stock sony/android recovery rather than the dual recovery. I read something somewhere by someone who knows "things" that a wipe from stock recover is more complete.

Just beware that wipe from stock recovery should nuke your internal storage so have things backed up
Thanks for the warning. Did the wipe & set everything back up. Disabled apps as opposed to freezing them for now. No other changes until I see how it goes. Then will take it one change at a time. Block ads. Xposed & camera mod. Etc.
Thanks everyone. I'll let ya know if the problem is still present or what sets it off.

Here's hoping all goes well
OK. Factory reset from stock recovery, wiped cache from dual recovery, reloaded basic apps, disabled several & all has been working great.
Installed Xposed & 20MP Superior Auto then the phone will no longer go to Airplane mode or shut down the wireless connection.
Again hard reset, wiped cache, reloaded the backup from before installing Xposed...still won't shut down the wireless & go to airplane mode.
Can't imagine either of those would change the Airplane functionality. Not sure where to go from here.

It was the Setup Wizard! Disable or freeze that & Airplane won't work. What the hell? Time to try the 20MP Superior Auto again.

Good find
try wiping data and factory reset once again. i was also having the same problem but resolved by factory reset two times.
Memory card issues seem to be gone. Reactivated amplify & greenify the other day with no issue. Still need to turn on ad blocking.
Only issue I have now is the audio through my headphones keeps going out. Think my beats headset finally **** the bed. Now I have to figure out a decent pair.
Any suggestions?
I liked beats but some people say it is a gimmick when compared to "good" headphones. What's the best in your opinion?
