Hi, I had this phone for awhile and no matter what rom is use. it hard resets on its own.
it happens every 2 - 3 months. I always flash a stock rom before i use a custom one and remove all the cards.
so what could be my problem?
thanks.

Touch wood I am yet to experience a hard reset following this order down to the T

Hahah, well.. it depends where your letting your mind drift to!
I don't think that knocking, kicking or touching wood will help .
It's strange, never had the problem, but offcourse, I flash new ROMs a bit often than few months (sometimes, 2-3 times a week ).

A lot of development been going since then! He's not coming back! so try another rom, as much as I loved his ...
I had this problem
I had this problem after upgrading to TNT .19199 (which I think but am not 100% sure, is WM6.1)
My phone **** itself at least 20 times in 2 weeks before I went back to TNT.1921(which I think but am not 100% sure, is WM6.0).
That was 3 months ago and it hasn't happened since

I just got an Evo last week and I have been loving it aside from the battery issues. I just noticed that this evo only support 3 point multitouch and some users had claimed that 5 point multitouch works for them.
Should I call Best Buy or Sprint and ask for one that support 5 point multitouch?
Is that even worth it?
Please advise.
A note on multitouch:
Some of you may have used my 5point multitouch test builds with success, others with failure. Research has shown that the Evo's contain at least 2 different versions of the touch sensor, one of which does not support 5point multitouch (but it DOES support 3point). You can check which sensor you have using adb by issuing the following command: "adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/vendor" and examining the result. If your result is ATMEL_x0080_x0016, your phone can support 5point. If your result is ATMEL_x004F_x0016, your phone will only support up to 3point.

I verified that shell shows ATMEL_X004F
Oh yeah, DEFINITELY take it back. I don't know what I would do without those 2 extra points.

sad part is i can't tell if your being a smart ass of dead serious lol
I doubt you can return it as it doesnt effect performance unless there is such an app that supports 5 point touch. BTW this is due to the new batch of EVO's coming with the new screens, different connectors etc.

Nah, you're fine. My old Evo had 5 point, my replacement that I just got has 3. There is no real world difference, no apps besides multipoint visualizer even make use of 3, and that's just a test program. Keep your Evo, and cherish and protect it with your life.

No prob. How do you like it so far? It's an amazing device, even with its unfortunate 3 point multitouch limitation!

Runs great, but having some strange battery issues. Running the latest flipz rom and kings cfs #11 and the battery drops 20% within 10 minutes with hardly any use.
I performed a full reboot and didn't launch any apps and it did the same thing. I just Flashed netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1-cfs-havs-universal-signed so hopefully I get different results.
20% in the first 10 minutes is a little unusual, most people's Evo's tend to drop 10%. It has something to do with the way the phone charges the battery, once it gets up to 100% it stops charging altogether (no trickle) and doesn't start charging again till the battery drops down till about 90% (I believe). If you unplug your phone at 100%, turn it off and plug it back in until the light turns green and then turn it back on, you should get a full charge out of it. Also, your phone is new, so I'm sure it hasn't profiled the battery fully yet, which is probably where that extra 10% is coming from. Give it a few days and I'm sure you'll see it level out.

I haven't completely let it die out so that may be another problem. Lowest I have let this thing go is about 50%. I will try to drain it now, will report later.
Thanks again.

If you are running a stock kernel then you will only have 2 points. You need to flash a custom kernel in order to have 3 or 5. Honestly though, there is no use for any more than 2 touchpoints.

i am running the cm6 kernal.
I dunno, I'm not on cm6 so I don't know what that kernel supports. Seriously though, have you come into any situation that required you to have more than 2? Didn't think so.
To everyone: Stop worrying about touchpoints, benchmarks, etc... and just enjoy your phones.
Hey,
After a week of use my Defy+ I noticed something weird. It looks like the screen shifted/moved back and now you can see the diods of the lower buttons inside phone casing. I'm not very picky but it looks ugly and I'm wondering if I send it back they will accept it and give me new phone?
Won't matter. They all look like that. Mine does. So does my brothers n my girls n my mamas. Sorry or the bad news.

Have you dropped it recently because the screen might have come partially disconnected from the phone and cause the screen to go off.. However I guess that doesn't explain the vibrating

It could be a hardware issue. in which case you could send it to Samsung for repair. But they might not want to cover the bill if they find out its rooted and running custom firmware.. Maybe try to fully brick it first so they can't see your flash counter

might be out of the question, its locked on tmobiles network, only works on att... lol in other words "blacklisted IMEI" so........ im kinda on my own here...
This exact thing happened to me.
I couldn't ODIN or went into recovery because the phone wouldn't stay on long enough.
It would turn on for a few seconds and died and would constantly vibrate.
I tried JIG to force into download mode. Didn't work.
I tried JTAG service. Didn't work.
I was lucky enough that the phone was still under warranty so I had it replaced. But I think your phone is as good as gone.
You can always try JTAG (the only service that MIGHT bring your phone back to life) and hope that you're luckier than I was.

I suggest that you send it for JTAG service anyway. If they can't fix it, they'll refund your money less shipping charge so you're only out a few bucks.
If they could fix it, then you obviously could sell the phone for a little bit more. Considering that you're already willing to cut your losses anyway, might as well give it another week or so. At least this way you know that you've tried absolutely EVERYTHING and know for sure that the phone is actually beyond fixing.
Or, you can try contacting this guy.
He's looking to buy a T989 motherboard. I'm assuming a "working" motherboard, but hey... you never know, right?
Good luck!!!! :fingers-crossed:

I've been using Hyperdrive ROM for a while and today I noticed that none of the alerts are producing vibration. I thought it might be related to the kernel I installed so I reverted the kernel but that did not fix. So I installed a new ROM (Resurrection) and I still have the same issue.
I installed Vibration tester and I'm still not getting any vibration.
Any suggestion ?

have you dropped your phone, or did it get wet. happened to me once. the vibrate stopped after getting wet on an HTC phone.. also if you drop it, the connector could get loose.

Nope, alright, weird, tw has power savings mode that would kill it, but aosp specifically that ROM I'm unaware of said feature. And since its occurring on both ROMs you may be in a pickle.

Yes, it's been working fine until few days ago when I noticed that I'm missing calls and texts due to phone not vibrating in my pocket. At first I thought it was a kernel issue (I was using Hyperdrive rom at that time) so I tried different kernel and it did not fix the issue to yesterday I installed KK remix to see if that fixes the issue but had no luck with that either. So at this point I think it might be a hardware issue and the vibration motor is toast. I went ahead and ordered a replacement and will try my luck with replacing the original one.
