Can't press the phone icon. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded my rom to SOS+ previously from SOS-X (Which works great!) now since I did the upgrade everything is working on it except the dialer. When I press the phone button it says "unable to access the application, try to restart GO launcher" I look in my app list and I don't even see a phone in there at all. I tried re flashing it several times, doing a factory reset, I even tried pushing the phone.apk into the system/app nothing works. What causes this to happen? What can I do to get this working?

I take it no one has a solution.:crying:

Discussed in SOS thread. Read it there. Search before making the thread plzzz

Please help, loaded expired ROM

Ok, I tried to search and cannot find a fix for this. I managed to load an expired Beta ROM on my phone. Now I cannot connect via activesync to load another one that functions. I just get a screen that says
" This concludes the BETA testing of this software release........"
Some one please help, I tried searching, but could not find anything.
Thanks everyone. I guess this is what I get for playing with different ROMs.
Flash a new one by SD Card then
Thanks, I will search on how to do that.
Thanks
Downloaded Factory ROM and loaded from Bootloader.
THanks
Yep, you still can enter bootloader and load another rom.

Did you try the options already stated in this thread?
You can put the phone in bootloader and flash the stock (or shipped rom) or flash another rom using the sd method (like the at&t stripped). Then you might want to also do some reading before you flash again, just to make sure you know how to unbrick.
This has been stated many times around the forums, and on the wiki.
To put your phone into boot loader hold the left ok key and the power button at the same time and hit the reset key with the stylus.
The info for flashing via the sd method is in the wiki, and I believe flashing from bootloader is there too.
The search button up there between "New Posts" and "Quick Links" is a good friend for the information hungry. This phone is old enough that I would guess any problem you have, has been experienced and solved by someone else already.

and it WON'T work. You cannot fight with this for yourself, it requires fixing a ROM itself. Just do what others said earlier, what they were writing for?....
Go to the bootloader and flash another ROM.

Market Issue

Today I had several reboots on my Desire. After the third I decided to do a hard reset.
Since rebooting the Android Market has been REALLY slow.
It will find apps and let me install them, however the screen doesn't change after the install - it keeps saying installing. The only way to remove the "installing" message is to reboot
I have tried several reboots, reflashed the stock T-Mobile UK ROM and I have formatted the SD card, but none of these have fixed it.
I get the same using WiFi or mobile internet (vodafone UK)
Anyone having the same issue, or got any ideas how to resolve it??
Cheers
Zippyioa
Delete please..
See below...
Try THIS!
If not then just wait as the Market on googles servers needs time to catch up with the diffrent build numbers changed, since a flash i belive
Mine took personally after everyflash at least a hour to start even working a bit.
EDIT: Maybe if it carries on being very slow, maybe something happened in the flash whilst in recovery, and has written some data to some bad sectors, causing this issue << only spectulation tho!

Thanks for the link, but I tried that already (after searching for this issue!)
It didn't resolve either issue for me (the slow market, or the installing issue) nor did other threads, hence me starting this one.
Any further help would be appreciated

Then referred to my second post.
Soz for the confusion
Still having this issue.
I have tried the close market place and clear cache/data idea, but no joy
I have now re-formatted (after a factory reset and clearing storage in bootloader) but it still sticks on installing in market even though the app installs fine.
Please help!
Slow for me today as well, stock Desire.
Maybe give it a day?
Okay, its been a few days now and I am still having the never ending install and slow market issue.
Surely I cant be alone??

Froyo update has rendered my phone useless, not bricked

Hello and thank you ahead of time for reading my thread. I spent a good deal of time searching for solutions in your forums but couldn't find anything related, so apologies if this is a repost.
I recently flashed my stock htc incredible with the leaked 2.2 ROM. While the flashing and installation of the new OS was successful, the phone itself is now acting really weird.
First, it is incredibly slow. There is a noticeable lag between the time I touch the screen and the time the touch actually registers. For example, to dial a number, I have to long press every button for it to register.
The second and much more annoying issue is the phone starts doing all sorts of things on its own. When sending a text message for example, all these keys are randomly pressed, it goes to the desktop, back to sending a text, inputs all these random characters, and sometimes frustratingly on occasion sends the text message on its own. This happens on and off and I haven't been able to figure out what triggers.
My question is, what can I do to fix it? I've reinstalled the ROM several times already and the problems appear every single time.
If I can't fix it, I'd love to go back to my previous stock rom and just wait for HTC's update.
Your help is greatly appreciated it.
Thanks.
have you cleared data and cache? do you have clockworkmod recovery install? please go through all the steps you went through to install the 2.2 leak
If ur rooted then u have clockworkmod installed...you should do a factory reset thru clockworkmod and wipe all data and cache ...
Then after that perhaps try a good and stable ROM ..
Wow thank you for such a prompt response.
I followed the steps in this thread:
[ROM]Leaked Stock 2.2 with Sense [LEAKED ROM - SOME BUGS!!]
(it's on the development front page, I would post a link but since I am a new member I am not allowed to).
In summary, I first updated to Radio version indicated in that thread (version 2).
I then ran unrevoked 3 which installed clockworkmod recovery. Then, I did a wipe. After, in the recovery screen I installed from the zip file of the mod that was in my SD card.
This is all I have done to date.

Okay...good to go.
You should boot into recovery aka clockworkmod...
Then do factoryreset wipe cache and data...
And I would recommend u install a ROM that u would like and u should be fine.
if ya like sense do skyraider....if ya like vanilla do CM6 test 8....and ya should be okay
If ya get stuck feel free to pm me and I can give u my Gtalk and can help furthur if ya need.

With an eyglass cleaninn cloth? That worked for me.
I first came across the problem while testing the rom i made, jdfroyo, so initially thought it was my rom. I wiped my hands (which were sweaty) and then thoroughly cleaned my phone off. I havent had issues since.

I have heard that cleaning screen with a certain product (don't remember if it was like soap or alcohol) is not recommended as it leaves an almost invisible layer and can send it to that whacko stage of doing weird stuff. Double check on that... Otherwise, I am with the others > Wipe data/cache > then do a ROM re-flash.

Hi,
Thanks all for your help. And thanks to acid for helping me out on gtalk.
After trying several different ROMs, my phone continues to be really laggy. For example, I can type an entire word in the keyboard before it appears on the screen, and usually only the first few letters register.
I think my screen is just malfunctioning and it happened to coincide with the day I flashed my phone so I am just going to do a warranty exchange.
Thanks again everyone!

Re-flash to EC05?

Sorry if this isn't in the right forum, I'm fairly new here. Anyways, ever since EC05 was installed on my phone a few days ago, I've been having nothing but problems. AFter it first installed, the phone would freeze about every 5 seconds, then vibrate a few times and restart itself. After numerous resets, it finally started working. Then my ringers went bad, and my text messages do not go through. Various apps force close, and my phone dialer freezes up when trying to call someone.
Is there any way to re-flash the EC05? I'm thinking I just had a bad flash, since my girlfriend has the same phone and hers is fine. If there is, can you guys please tell me how to do it (preferably without data loss).
Thank You.
I forgot, I'm on stock rom and not rooted.

Do I have to Odin back to Dl18? Or can I just reflash it over EC05? And do you know if my phone will be wiped? Sorry for all of the questions...

No problem; I believe the update.zip doesn't wipe.
You shouldn't have to go back to install it.
You can always use MyBackup Pro (in the market) its free for like 30 days, to backup your apps and data, call log and text messages.
Then you can get it all back if it does (though I don't think it will), never a bad thing to run a backup.

See - the thing is (if you read up on the issue) the problem happens on ANY phone - running ANY rom - and VARIOUS radios ... so doing the thread nazzi thing really doesn't help, as the issue is prevelant across the board. If that's not bad enough, god forbid you start a new thread because again ... the thread nazzis jump out of the woodwork and (seemingly gleefully) post all the different posts where it's already been discussed. Well yea, that's because there is no magic silver bullet. I've got the issue, and I'm not going to bother saying what rom or radio or kernel I'm using, or how many cashes I've wiped or permissions I've fixed, because I've already run thru all those gymnastics. So you see, it cam be just as frustrating having to keep reading about the problem again & again, as it is trying to walk on egg shells to find a cure, in the exact right thread, in the exact right forum. In the mean time, the only thing I've found that guarentees the issue doesn't happen to me is to go all the way back to the Sarum rom. How pathetic is that. But thanks for the help anyway ... presuming some day there comes a "one cure - cures all".

I had the exact same problem with a reoccurring message that would flash on and off every second or so. I did both a data restart then a reboot of the android software by pushing the down volume button then holding the power button. When the LG logo appeared I released both buttons and followed the instructions for an android factory reboot. Apparently it is the SIM card. The android com.android.phone communicates with the SIM card and allows calls and texts to be sent and received using the android software. My SIM card got damaged somehow and could not receive the call from the android app com.android.phone. I had to buy a new SIM card for ten dollars and had my stored files on the SIM moved to the new one and no more problems. Telus and Bell move the files to the new SIM for free i'm sure other major service providers offer the same free service.

It may be too late, but.. I just had the same problem while installing some kitkat apps and spent hours trying everything to fix it. What ended up fixing it was: Settings>Application Manager> Menu > Reset app preference>Reboot.
Hope this helps!
