[Q] My Evo exploded in my pocket?

Sorry about that I needed your attention, and now that I have it I need your help.
So I'm trying to do the PRI update and I'm using the ##768# method, I go into edit mode, press menu and click restore, problem is the "Please wait while committing change..." menu just sits there the phone wont reset, it's been like this for over 10 minutes now. should I continue to let it sit or should I be doing something else?

Let it sit until it explodes in your pocket.

Why not just ask your question instead of playing childless games. I hope you get 1000 views and only 5 replies. Then next time just ask your question.

Try washing it.....it'll clean out the bad data.

I wonder what its like to have no sense of humor? What are "childless games"? Anyway, to the OP, try ##3282#. Does the same thing with no factory reset. Although, good luck, it seems the update is reliant on your location. Seems most aren't receiving it yet.

what the OP did was just dumb and annoying ... not funny ... no sense of humor should find this funny ...

Pull the battery hope it works? That's all I can recommend, unless you can just back out of the menu you're stuck on.
Edit: Sorry man, it seems like your phone is downgrading to 1.20.2. This happens in a few cases depending on what area you are in. You're gonna need to wait until HTC releases an OTA that contains a copy of nv.bin that contains a new PRI.

Didn't realize you were in charge of what the rest of us find humor in.

Ok I'm beginning to understand what the problem is ##786# won't work for me unless I use the EPST fix which requires a 2.1 EPST but it will hang unless you are using a 2.2 EPST. And it creates a paradox. So it Looks like the ##3282# is my only option.

Is your Evo's battery leaking in your pocket, or are you really happy that Cyanogen Mod 6 reached RC2?

[POSTED IN DEV]LoS Checker v1

Final edit: LoS Checker is up! Please head over there for further discussion!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18915457
EDIT: I have it working! Need some testers in #samsung-epic-touch on freenode. MUST know adb! Please come and test!
I'm reposting this from my ROM thread. I hope someone can help me out! If you have LoS and can help, please send me a PM ASAP and I will PM you my gTalk and walk you through this!
I think I may finally have an idea about the LoS bug and how to temporarily fix it without Tasker!!
If anyone goes LoS and knows how to use ADB (preferably, however, Root Explorer or similar would work) PLEASE let me know! I need to confirm something! If this happens, someone hop on ADB or check in Root Explorer to see if this exists:
Code:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/eth0
or
Code:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ppp0
If either exists, I need a copies of the folders. Zip them up and post it please! Please also let me know if you were on wifi or not at the time.
EDIT: Also, please run this as well and get me the output:
Code:
netcfg
EDIT2: Please run these commands in adb shell as well, during the LoS and after. Very important!!
Code:
service call connectivity 4
and
Code:
service call connectivity 5
Thanks guys!

I haven't had one since I flashed the latest Zedomax kernel, but I'll do it if it happens.

I'm on the stock kernel and I happen to be in a low signal area today which seems to be when it happens to me. I'll make sure to do this for you if I find my phone LoS'd

And thanks ayman, but I need the files when the phone is currently LoS. I believe that folder won't be there when the phone goes LoS. If it goes away, that's good news for my next step in development. If it stays, I need the folder so I can sift through it. Thanks anyway man.

oh i see what you meant. my bad. will do that when it happens next time

Updated the first post, the most important info is the service call stuff. I have forced the phone to shut the cell radio off using a command but I need to verify that LoS looks the same way to the phone as it does when I force the radio off. Please help out development

If i get one and ill post my stuff here
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

The folder doesn't go away, I had my friend test it for me but he couldn't get me the files. (I've never personally had LoS)

OK, I think I have a solution for this. I found a way to identify if the phone really does go LoS. I will post about it in my ROM thread in a little bit.

Who wants to test?! Head into IRC!

I'm up for testing later this week!
If I turn my airave off I'll get them at a comical rate.

I've had them occur while in the same room with my airave.

Really? I've had a few with the airrave. I usually know because txt messages start failing, but it's mostly when I get little to no service.

I'm sure that I'll have a LoS by tomorrow afternoon, I actually just restarted my phone after one, so it'll likely be another hour or three.
I'll have at least one or two by tomorrow afternoon, so I'll post then.

This is frickkkkkkin awesome
Hoping for good news soon

LoS Checker is up! Closing this thread, please discuss over there!

Sprint - Wifi Tethering Working!

Guys, I don't know what happened but it's working on my Sprint G2. Someone help me figure out what I did. All I did just a min ago was enable it, got the error, then enabled it again. Bam, i'm connected. HOW? I played with some build.prop settings and something over in SQLite editor in com.providers.settings I think it was. The other thing, i'm stuck in 1X coverage. Maybe the entitlement check thing is trying and gives up before it gets a response, then just goes through?

I got mine to work too after editing that file with Sqlite, but it only worked once and with the built-in tethering. I couldn't get it to work correctly again after turning it off and on.

Hmmm, mine gives the error once or twice, then just starts working. I'm posting tethered right now. I managed to get it onto ehrpd and speed are pretty solid. I need to get my directional antenna hooked up to my Cell Booster so I can pick up the ecsrb tower instead of the halfass tower i'm on now!
EDIT: Of course I make this post and it stops working, lol. No idea why outta nowhere it works. It almost tells me it's using some kind of http authentication and if it can't connect it goes ahead and lets you use it.
EDIT2: After a reboot it works again. WTF is with this thing!

Ive been following threads on getting tethering for sprint working and I dont understand why we just dont keep it to one thread. Also, Im not sure anyone can figure out whats going on with how you got it working if you dont post the changes and edits you made to the files in detail. It might help more if others knew exactly what you did.

Can you post the lines you changed and the detail steps on what you do? What files did you modify in the android filesystem? I am sure this can be done easily but we need more description. The more information you can tell us how to replicate your situation, the better it is that we all can try this solution out and hammer out the kinks so that we get a working wifi tether for Sprint version.

Well okay.... but what files did you change and what changes did you make??
Could be you are onto something, but until you provide that info it doesnt help you or anyone else figure it out.

Have you tried connecting wifi tether while data off or in airplane mode?
Maybe it's checking with Sprint before tethering. I dunno anything about this stuff. Just speculating.
Thanks for your work on this man.

Basically Sprint wifi tethering still doesn't work. There is no proof that it is working because we don't even know the method the OP used.

The OP doesn't even know what method he used, what a Jackass. Sorry guys, major software upgrade at work, been swampzilla'd. I know there's something else in sqlite editor, but it's not working. The best luck I had was when the phone was in 1x, then would switch to eHrpd after tethering was enabled. Build.prop and screenshot of what I added to settings.db\global in sqlite.

Ok, so we just dump a couple files and say have at it?
Dude.... step -by-step.... what EXACTLY did you edit and what changes did you make??
How many times do we need to ask the same question?
If you seriously dont know then say so and have a mod delete this thread cause right now its nonsense.

Seriously. If the OP cannot easily explain the changes he made to which file step by step then the mods should delete this thread to avoid confusion.

Yep you guys are right. Close the thread. Works if I launch hotspot from 1x coverage, then it stays on. Sorry I can't be of more help, but the last line in sqlite editor and the obvious "tether" lines that are easily searchable in build.prop.txt

[Q] WiFi And Mobile Data At The Same Time?

I would like to know if I can have WiFi and Mobile Data on at the same time. I do not get MMS messages til I get off WiFi and also I can't get on my T-Mobile App to check minutes and data. It Keeps saying "Sorry, no data connection is available" I looked in my settings and said Mobile Data is disconnected.... Is this normal? Thanks In Advance.

Hmm... to be fair sometimes a lack of response is more a lack of confidence in any particular response that might be given. At times repercussions get ...awkward... for saying things that others might find ill informed, and as such a tendency to not say anything unless rather certain on the answer develops.
Anyhoo - I hadn't noticed the fact that the mobile network state listed itself as disconnected when connected to wifi... but ultimately (opens self up to possibly saying something stupid...) I can think of no good reason certain functions of the phone (at least mms or the tmobile app) would depend on mobile data being connected while wifi disconnected. Doing a quick test on my end - both of these functions seem to be behaving as expected while on wifi (tested with wifi calling NOT on, not sure that would throw a wrench in anything but you never know) - does the issue exist across wifi sources? That sort of thing might be something to bring up to a TMo service rep - not sure they will be of any help but given the response you've had here it couldn't be much worse, right?

Thank you for your response. I finally called Tmobile and they told me that their apps will only work on mobile data and are not meant to work over wifi even though they say my mobile data will always be on it just goes into a low power state and that MMS has to be set to auto receive which somehow was not checked. Everything seems to work fine. Just one question for you. Did i read that you said you could get on your tmobile account app with WiFi on? Again thank you very much for answering me back. Just was have a bad morning because i get alot of MMS messages for work and it got to me... Also I'm one of those guys that no believe in a stupid answer. If someone's trying to help no matter what they say I'm just greatful for the help
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

I was able to, but perhaps it was just a trick of app cache as opposed to it actually working... strange they require data, you'd think if it was that much of a need they'd force it to engage and wake up the low power state instead of forcing you to turn off wifi. Ah well, learn something new everyday Sorry I wasn't more help

[Q] Nitro HD think I broke my data

Ok so first off, been using XDA for a while now to root various things, you guys have always got me what I need to get things figured out on my own, I have never before this day had to request help and for that, you guys are legendary.
Now I am semi newbi here, I know whats what for the most part but I have a hard time holding information in my short term memory so I am sorry if I miss little things
On to the problem!
So I got an AT&T LG Nitro HD P930, on ebay, I then spent the better part of a day rooting it, took me a lot of work but I eventually got it rooted and all that jazz, everything was going great... but everything changed when the fire nation... wait no... when I put CM9 on it, that crashed quite often, so I put on CM11 to check that out, no Data, so I rolled back one to CM10.2, and still no Data.
Could I have missed something?
Edit:
I thought at one point the ImeI might have gotten pushed out, but I double checked that and it is there, I have noticed at times I look at the service and it says I have 4 bars and an E next to it like back in the 2G days, but rarely and I have not had it stay long enough to test the data but if I get the chance I will edit and leave what happened here.
Also to note, I do still get random crashes but I can live with that.
P.S.S. XDA Devs are the shiznit, thank you guys for many years of amazing rom's and HP Touchpad support, my tablet is nothing without you guys!

Potential fix
Ok so admitadly I may have jumped the gun on not finding anything via the search function, I did find something digging around that might help me out. just incase anyone else checks this thread due to the same issue I will post back here if it worked, I found the fix on this thread

I had read something about that and had a backup of my APN but it turns out you cant flash APN data after 4.0+ or some such nonsense.
In the end I managed to get the root to take hold after restoring it from unbrick up, now I have CM9 on it and it is working just shiny. so this thread can be deleted or closed or whatnot.
If anyone would like a step by step on what I did I would be glad to post it but I doubt anyone is interested.

Good thing you got it working. And CM9 was so nice and stable for the Nitro. I often think of reverting back to it just for its reliability.

Its been a while since I did it but I will see if I cant gather all the resources I used, but in the end what I had to do was re-brick it, reverted back to stock everything to recover and re-rooted it all again, then I just skipped CM11 and went back to CM10. Now I am in a whole new **** storm haha but thats a story for another time.
