My phone recently updated, and I lost my Handcent icon from the lockscreen. I also no longer have the gray curved launcher that says phone on main screen. Also wnat to know how to change the icons on that bar as well......Not real happy about the update......
Ok, how old are you? Just a simple question and no offence meant. First, can assume that you are running a sense rom, maybe 3.6? Do you see the home page, the main screen. At the bottom do you see the dock with 5 icons. Hold down an icon and you will see that you are now able to delete it. Now hold down any app, and you are able to move that app to the dock. Now what ever icon is on the dock is now placed on the lock screen

To answer your first question, I am 50yo. I am running the stock with the latest update to 2.89.651.2 710RD. I was able to delete 1 of the icons from the dock and tried dragging handcent icon from main screen to dock but it won't move to the dock.
I also noticed that my phone is getting very hot and the battery is draining very quickly...WTF is going on?????
I would reflash or try a new rom

I do not have the phone rooted, it is using the stock ROM....everything worked perfectly until this update......
Try a factory reset, but you will loose all your email accounts etc.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Guess I shouldn't have let it update......$%^#%#%
I appreciate your help!
Now my phone is dead, when I started this thread I had 70% battery, this is not cool......
Do a hard factory reset, go to power and turn off fast boot, turn your phone off and hold the volume down button and then the power button down at the sametime, you should see a bright white screen and navigate to factory reset
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I will have to try that after I get the battery charged back up as it is totally dead right now. I have never had a battery go from 70% to nothing in only a few hours while doing nothing.....
It happens, if your lock you don't have much of a choice but to do a factory reset, normal if you flash a rom you need to do a full battery cycle before you see an improvement in battery life, also if you disenable auto brightness, also check syncing apps

I have had this phone for over 6 months and had awesome battery life and 0 problems until this update......
Unfortunately you have 2 choices. 1 factory reset works or 2 unlock, root and flash
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Your right! I'm not happy with either choice, but I will do factory reset after I get home and get the battery charged some.......
Hope everything works out

Hi!
I just got the HTC eVO 3D, and I'm still trying to get use to it. I got a little scared when I found out that I can't use the bottom left and bottom right icons on the touch screen (the icons 1 that is to the left of the phone button and the appearance 1 that is to the right of the phone button)
I have a feeling that there is something I'm missing!
Any help would be appreciated! I tried searching this but I had no luck!
Thank You!
Try re calibrating. Go settings display calibrate. Hope it works.

I can't recabrate, but I mean those parts work on the phone anywhere else...The All apps button and the personalize button don't work :S
try rebooting, formatting the phone, factory reset, and if all that fails, then you can try returning it.
*dont forget to back up your stuff before deleting everything lol.
and try downloading a different launcher like Launcher pro or ADW Launcher.

ITs really weird because the touch screen works there, only when I'm in home screen it doesn't:S
Download a free app called TouchTest
We've been talking about some screen issues in another thread, seems like its common on the Evo3D

Yeah, so all the way at the bottom I can't touch anywhere...which is weird because I can still use phone call....keyboard etc which are all located in that area:S
Would flashing it to a different rom help?
This is very weird, I also recalibrated it, and its still doing that. The only thing that confuses me is the fact that I can fully use the bottom screen in apps, texting and surfing:S
I have no idea what this is...any other suggestions, I did factory restore is there a way to reflash the phone (compeltely reflashing it) would that matter?
Sorry about the questions!
It may well be worth flashing a different ROM and kernel make a nandroid and give it a go. Very odd tho!

Try a custom kernel like anthrax. I don't think it will work!? But still worth a shot.

I wish there was an explanation If a Custom kernel won't do anything I'll just live with it...I mean I can still get there using the menu button:S and the phone works fine other than that:S
Defective memory address I'm thinking
K - I've not found any other explanation but gradual disintegration of the internal flash memory. What kills me is that there isn't a ready repair.
Anyway, the symptoms tend to grow (I know) consistent with memory breakdown. Many functions work in landscape and not in portrait. Unfortunately some key functions have no other solution - mandating (for now) a phone replacement. That seems really stupid. In the new SSD world there are memory bridging utilities that work with specific drives. These test and re-do the logic map that sits between OS & apps and SSD. Like the old sector tests but not.:cyclops: Can't find such a thing for Android. Maybe because Android is CHAOS and IN HELL?
I am trying to decide if rooting my phone is a good idea. Just bought it, but the stock rom seems too eat my battery. Is there a good reason to root this phone?
Will enhance my battery life?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Yes and no. Depends on which ROM and kernel you install. Added to that, modification of your phone habits and screen brightness will increase your phone's battery life tremendously.
Hmm well I have reduced everything to minimum, so I can have more time out of the battery. I am hopeing that it will last longer after a week or two of use. I have a rooted HUAWEI x5 and there I gained more by rooting it. I was wondering if I could gain the same on this one.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
You better believe you can! Root away brother, and never look back. :-D
then this one will get rooted to
What's the best rom on this device btw? I used oxygen on my Huawei, with launcher pro. It became a awesome phone, except when it came to using it as a phone haha
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
There's a bunch in the development section to try out. Personally, I really like warm since it has some of my friends from the hero days in it.
But you know how rooting goes. Nandroid and get to flashing!
Haha yes I know
I will have a look into it :-D but this time I will use more than 10 minutes to decide ;-) first phone got rooted 10 minutes after I bought it
Got side tracked
Did they ever get the dsniff up and running?
Haha I have to stick my head into that again, because having on it my phone would just be awesome ;-)

Root it! Root it! Root it!
Blackened Rom + chads kernel + juice defender = great batt life. Also by rooting phones u can undervolt and change to low freqs when screen is off which saves a lot of battery.

Lol This reminded me of Will Ferrell when he slammed on the gas screaming "America!" in the movie The Other Guys.
Dsniff is a packet sniffer that allows you to capture network traffic. Combined with a few other tools you might get wep keys etc.
Okey blackened rom and kernel.
One thing, how do I get a decent backup of the shipped rom? What app can be used?

If you haven't rooted or done anything to the phone, get it replaced. It shouldn't have this many problems.
I'd take it back. I had to replace my first 3D before I rooted for similar issues.
Thaanks.. i will wait few days.. and if it does it again ..than i take it back.. :/

My dad has a gtab 10.1 and after a minute or so with the screen on, a stupid "galaxy tab ooh la la" screen saver turns on and makes the thing almost lock up. We have to press the power button to get it to turn off and then turn back on.
How do I get that screen saver to not turn on?? I can't find anything in settings and can't find anything in a search on here.
Any help is appreciated. This is my first post in this gtab forum

Hello.?

Probably it's an app or something that is installed. Check the app list and delete any apps that might be related. I don't have any screensavers on mine. Can you check the list of running apps in the settings?
I agree that would be really annoying.
Em u mean LockScreen,right?
That is the app that is used by stores to demo the features of the tab. I don't recall the name, but it was available from the Samsung App Market or whatever it was that came installed on the stock Tab. You should be able to simply uninstall that app to get rid of the screensaver.
Thank yoi, kind sir

Anybody has this happening to them? Ever since updating to stock ICS phone will be fine until the battery changes from green. Once that happens phone gets extremely hot. Would like to trouble shoot the device but it's one of my lines which I don't have access to so often. So far I've seen that the power saving options are gone so there's no setting that could be kicking in once battery gets to a certain level.. If anyone has any feedback about this please share. Thanks

A buddy of mine who is not rooted had the same problem. He said Sprint suggested a soft reset, which didn't work, and then a hard reset, which fixed it. You lose all your data, but he says it stopped the overheating.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately a hard reset is out of the question for now. She don't want to lose her things and phones not rooted to back up.

Either a hard reset or her battery life becomes much shorter so she can't use at all later
