[Q] Hhhmmm!! The Kyocera Hydro? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whats up everyone?!?! I decided to get all crazy like and got the Hydro and I was wondering how everyone else felt about this phone who has tried it? I am not a fan of Kyocera due to the lack of awesomeness and it will never hold a candle to my Motorola but....why not? I have not even turned it on as of yet but was going to start to see what I can do with this thing. Any opinions would totally rock!! Thanks guys!!

i own one and i have to say i like that its waterproof (i text in the shower lol) but it does seem to suffer from performance issues (dont try playing a game and listening to music at the same time) overall id give it a 7/10
sometimes it bugs out when making a call (while in a call the screen will flash on and off over and over) and the notifications like to switch places right before you touch one (its like it is taunting me!!)

It's a decent phone for the 79.99 price tag. But yes don't try to do to much on it. It doesn't have the memory to do much. I have managed to root mine. But DO NOT USE EZ UNLOCKER people are saying it unlocks the bootloader but all it did for me was unlock a bad bootloop. And since there is no custom recovery its not fixable. I had to have mine replaced. I got lucky because within the first 14 days boost mobile will just swap it out free of charge. Besides root I have been able to use supercharger v6 and 3g turbocharger scripts. Also I have managed to use persanos tweaks. There's probably more out there but be careful.

Getting really sick of my atrix switching back to my N1 until something better comes.

ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me
I've never had any of those problems ever and I've had my atrix since launch date. Maybe you have a deffective device call and see if your provider will do anything about.

Problem is I bought the phone back in march from at&t unlocked it using it on Rogers the phone hasn't always done this only with In the last month and a half or do but it has gotten progressively worse to the point where it is so unreliable Ive had to switch back to my n1 which even though is only first Gen snapdragon technology running cm7... is making my this dual core look pretty ****ty right now...

to be honest... and i know it sounds pretty stupid.. but... i really dont know how to flash the sbf... i know what it is followed the thread on it when it first came out... but never put the effort into figuring out how to actually do it... and right now i just don't have the time to sit down and do that.... (lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

LOL! I mean, why don't u just go back to it and making useless comparisons?
If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!
Warranty!
Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.
Hell if you want to complain about a phone, give me it. Ill put the work into fixing it and love it. >.< this phone sucks.

C'mon man, flashing an SBF is simple! The instructions on XDA are very detailed. I am a lifelong Mac user, and even I figured out how to flash an SBF via Windows. It would not take more than a couple hours to download all the stuff you need, and re-flash an SBF. What's your build number now?

I've come across the keyboard input bug with alternate keyboards before.
SBF your phone, there's plenty of guides available how to do this, or you can download the moto update tool from their website.
Well as they say on WOW and other MMORPG...
Can I have your stuff??

Am I doing something wrong???

Am I doing something wrong???
If my phone isn't getting the sleep of death, it's keyboard lockups, call dialing delays, random restarts, soft bricks and being completely unresponsive...
I think I might buy a Palm Pixy or some other phone, what do you suggest???
I am rooted, but I never had any issues like this on my Droid X with nearly the same apps...
I'm getting fed up. I might switch to the SGII. I'm a big Motorola fan, but I'm really fed up.
If you guys give me any suggestions, let me know...
Sometimes I can't use this phone in an emergency... The other day I need to make an emergency call. I press send, and then the phone restarts...
I can't even listen to music in peace without a random restart... Maybe I'll get an iPod Touch....

Seriously...what are you doing to your phone...I don't how many you've gone through..like 5? It doesn't make ANY sense..no mass-produced product is THAT bad...QC probably accounts for .001% defects or less in a million...You should probably wipe your phone, factory reset it, SBF to stock, and switch it for SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus when it comes out.
If you look at my "Embrassed by Photon" thread, I am having issues that I have learned to live with BUT, I also had the Emergency phone call issue and could not use it.

dont think my POS Samsung Moment was that bad
Best bet is to go back to bone stock and run it for a while. If you have the same issues then it could most likely be your device.
What rom are you running? IMO cybiks cm7 and jokers 1.3 is the best combo. I have never had a random reboot once I got my undervolting levels tweaked right. It ran perfectly fine at the default voltages and I wanted to extend my battery life a bit.
You could also have a app that is going awry causing your device to overheat and seize.
Sent from my MoPho. All typos are the phones fault.
Yeah man, you are really screwing up somewhere. Everyone I have ever met in person with a Photon raves about how awesome it is.
I actually talked to a guy in line at the store the other day who had one - I noticed our oddly shaped device in a otter box on his hip and asked if it was Electrify or Photon (We Tennesseans tend to randomly chat with total strangers, like they are old pals.) - it was a Photon, he loved it.
I told him, if he wanted to love it more, read about Rooting and Roms. I wonder how that turned out for him.
I'm running pure stock and rooted. I rave about my Photon when it works right, trust me, it's awesome... Maybe my apps conflict with this device??? Cuz I never had any issues like this on my Droid X... I'm a huge Motorola fan, I don't want to leave you guys!!! Maybe I'll switch to a new device, but I will still be around, no matter what...
As for the Galaxy Nexus, other than LTE, and NFC, and ICS, the Photon beats it right out of the water!!!
I don't know if this is pure bad luck.... My apps nust conflict with the device.... I was running great with no issues until I installed avast! security... and for what avast! does, I'll take the repercussion of random reboots, if that is even the app causing random reboots....

I just meant if I needed to make an Emergency call, I couldn't at times, I didn't exactly mean 911.

In my personal experience, it is the best antivirus and theft security application there is, but I am not sure that avast! is the issue, I'll uninstall it for a week and see if it stops... But, I have posted about 3 or 4 threads ranting about how this phone doesn't work sometimes.... I'm waiting for an LTE device that has 1080p, WiMax, and the specs our Photon with Tegra 3...

Again, I'm putting the phone back to Sprint Stock with a handful of my most common and trusted app's (BofA, Credit Union, MSNBC, Pandora and a few games) It's likely some s**t I put on it so I blame myself, not the phone.
Like I said, at the end of the day, its a phone. I could not call my boss for something the other day. It was freezing, then it went into bootstrap recovery.....by the time I removed OtterBox and battery, I was pissed (Matter fact, now I remember, It was 4:15AM Saturday!!!! I got pisssed because I had to get up off my a** and come in here!!)
Anyway, #1. Im 100% sure it's me, not Photon. #2. I'm still going for the Galaxy Note! The spec's on the Note are outrageous!!

Wipe your phone clean and install each app one by one to test...but it's stupid that you've gone through that many photons..Besides, what do you need security for anyway? You're not installing random crap are you?

Antivirus on android is pointless unless you use a pirated apps/market. The "sky is falling" articles about infection rates on android devices never give you actual numbers just "Up 427 Percent" Tom's Guide. If the original infection rate is 500 devices worldwide, even with a 400% increase you still have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning.
There are a couple of locate/remote wipe apps available on the market that do not include antivirus. That would be a better choice unless you are using pirated apps/market.
Here a simple troubleshooting guide to follow. It's not much fun but should eliminate a number of possible causes of the issues you are having.
Factory rest via settings
Flash stock SBF (do not root or unlock)
Do not install any apps for 24hrs to see if problem persists (if no then goto 4, if yes then replace device)
Install only one app a day and see if problem shows up. If so, start over. This time eliminate the suspect app from the list.
I run into this a number of times when servicing phones and very rarely does the issue show up again when the process is followed. It generally tends to be app conflicts or an app update is buggy.
I realize that it's probably my fault. And I blame the phone for not being able to handle the apps like my Droid X, that's all.
One more thing, there are a few virus apps on the market... I've run into a few...

Would this phone be too big for me?

I'm petite. Have small hands. But I like the screen size and how the battery life is better than the gs3. Also like the multi window feature. But would this phone be too big for me. Will people look at me weird if I put this phone to my ear? Lol I also like the fact that I don't need a tablet if I get this phone lol I currently have an iPhone 5

The best way to tell is go to an Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Best Buy, etc. and try it out for yourself.
I have normal sized hands and when I first got it, it definitely felt on the large size, even coming from an S III but it only took me a couple of days to get used to it.
After a day or two you will not even think about how large your new phone is but how small and toy-like you old phone feels.

Will people look at you funny? Yes they will. In 6'3" 220lbs and people look at me funny. As others said though is probably best to give it a shot in store and see if you like it. My wife is 5'2" and tiny and after playing with my note now wants one

Yes people will look at you funny. But does it really matter when you have the best phone available right now? I would'nt trade mine for anything and i came from having a gs3 to the note 2.
Hi,
I came from a thunderbolt and so happy I decided on the note 2. I was thinking of the gs3 and let me tell you the screen size makes doing everything so much nicer. Plus no lag at all.
This is on stock I will make the jump to beans 7 once he releases it.
This is the way you can really see 4g in its full glory.
Thanks,
Bryan
You get used to the size of the note after a few days, its normal to me now and every other phoneni use feels too small lol
And when it comes to using it, I mainly use it with two hands. I don't text or use the phone while driving so I never need to use it with only one hand.

I had the s3 before this too. I was absolutely blown away by how much longer the battery life lasts over the s3. That's the best way to tell considering I do everything in did with the S3, even have my home screens set up the same.

LOL, no kidding.
We bought a 60" rear projection Sony Wega about 9 years ago (I was in the TV/stereo business for years and still got everything wholesale at that time) and everybody who saw it was dumbfounded.
Now, it still looks pretty big but my Son and I where looking at a 90" Samsung at BestBuy recently and thinking ours looks kinda small........
My friends make fun of me by holding ridiculously sized rectangle objects (like books) to their ear and acting like they are on the phone Lol....however the ooohs and ahhhhs follow with the capabilities of this phone....its hard to gauge in the store especially if they have a security cord attached. Just grab one... There is a return policy if you dont like it...also stop worrying about what people think of you...I've been providing haters with job security since 1980... I'm an equal opportunity employer. Ha

serius problems...

This morning, I plugged out the phone and it was really hot, like playing games for 4 hours or something..the screen was off.
Then I plugged it to the computer to transfer some files...the default ringtones/notifications were all reset.
The pictures i transferred weren't seen. Turned off the phone, took out the sd card and plugged it in the pc...the pictures were the.. put everything back together. the phone booted in 3 seconds and freezes in the lock screen with a black background...no buttons did nothing, after 5 mins it rebooted and everything worked normally, and it sent a random sms to 5 different people, the picture were there, but when i plugged it again the defaults got lost again... And the automatically use data storage doesn't work any more...
What? what?
Im really going insane, because this is my second evo 3d (the old one got replaced for free because of alot of problems)
I still have the warranty...
what should i do what's the problem with my phone?
Also my model's 3d isnt working correctly
What's HTCs problem? (Im really thinking of suing them)
Thinking of sueing them, eh?

1. HTCDev, I don't there there are any other manufacturers with such a thing.
2. The awesome hardware inside.
3. It was cheap from Virgin. (No Contract, it costed $150)
4. Huge dev community.
Stock wasn't perfect, but if you would have spent some time installing new roms and overclocking you would have loved the phone.

The hardware is awesome yes...
It's cheap yes, stock is bad, but rooting it is really hard compared to a Samsung phone...
I still have warranty...
My first evos unlock button died after 2 months, and it fell down from a height of a chair and half of the aluminium frame broke off or how should I put it...That's why the phone is so cheap... because it has cheap design.
My second evos 3d isn't working properly...
I'm 95% sure that if I root it, some hardware will fail again and I will have to unroot it... And ill probably brick it one day...
I would root it if it wasn't so risky...
I already wanted to root it last year when I bought it... no look where that would get me.

I didn't feel like arguing with him, but yeah, this phone may be on the cheaper side but its built pretty damn well. HTC knows how to make phones. I've dropped mine onto pavement and thrown it before, and it runs fine. Battery life is pretty good, I've used my phone on for 10 hours now and its at 40% (that's with moderate use).
If you want an iphone then get an iphone.
And if you want my opinion you should try again, and this time root it. Its not as hard as you make it out to me, it just takes a little dedication. You don't even need to S-Off, just get an ICS rom.

I bought the phone from the phone retailer and mobile provider.....100% sure its not fake.
maybe drop it so it falls down on the corner...
Yea but im really sure that everything works smoother on the experia active (games and everything)
I have the latest android on it...
No I dont want an iphone because android suits me well
Anything else?
My Evo seemed to work a lot faster on GB than on ICS. It's a sense issue-sense 3.0 and 3.5 are much lighter and better responsive than sense 3.6, but ICS is better regarding CPU and GPU performance. You should try a custom laucher like GO, Nova, or Apex. I tried Next launcher which is a version of GO and it's beautiful, smooth and fast.

If the Stock rom is the case I'll give it a try for the custom ones, but someone has to confirm me that I can unroot it...

Sorry I dont quite understand this:
"And yes, it says "locked" not "relocked" "
What says locked?
Bootloader. When you lock it the easy way it says "relocked" and you loose your waranty. A little harder way of locking the bootloader is when it says "locked" and you have your waranty back. Just find a tutorial, everything is explained in it

Bootloader. When you lock it the easy way it says "relocked" and you loose your waranty. A little harder way of locking the bootloader is when it says "locked" and you have your waranty back. Just find a tutorial, everything is explained in it

Beause I looked at the tutorials and its a lot more difficult to root it then a samsung

OCD over my phones looks..am I alone?

Seriously, I obsess over it. Like every 10 minutes I'm changing a wallpaper, icons or downloading a new launcher. How far the icons are from the sides or bottom of the screen bugs me etc..just a million small things and I literally spend over half my day rearranging everything lol. Am I the only one? It's even somewhat become a problem between me and my fiance. She hates how I'm always staring at my phone and when I finally put it down she always says "are you SURE your done?" Lol. It's funny but I hope I'm not alone on this
No. It's just you.
^ Agreed
I've come to that conclusion. I have bad ADD and it causes me to find one thing to focus on and once I do, I don't concentrate on anything else lol. It's a horrible curse.
I used to be that bad, when I got my first Android 6 or so years ago. My wife used to get mad at me for living on my phone, then I got her one and she does the same thing.

I really think lollipop will put an end to my obsession. It's well polished and nicely laid put. I'm am so ready to see how Touchwiz lollipop will look
Take up motorsports. Far more exhilarating than messing with wallpapers
In some ways in glad I moved on from galaxy nexus I used to Rom almost daily. Sometimes I would even load roms at work. I think if I had a nexus device again it would stay stock except for tether and launcher. I like the speed and layout of stock android. I spend more time using my phone now instead of tweaking useless things. I've even considered going back to dumb phone but really don't want to give up unlimited data as I could never get it back.

I'm just not into that sort of stuff. I'ma tech junkie lol. Never once has anyone ever showed me anything and I've never been to school for it, but I've been able to completely tear down a computer and put it back together since I was like 11. I've brought cell phones and computers completely back from the dead. I don't have much knowledge on building/development but I can sure fix something that's broken. But then again maybe if I wasn't so broke I'd have more hobbies lol. Just about any tech gadgets I have I got as payment for fixing someone else's tech gadgets.

Get a crappy Motorola phone. You'll only want to use it when you have to lol. I had the RAZR M and I hated flashing roms on it. Nothing could take away the fact that, that phone sucked lol
Yes I know believe me I had a Motorola droid x2. It was my first smart phone and never got unlocked. I thought it would be great since it was the first dual core but was I wrong most laggy phone ever.
