Why do you reboot so often for it to be an issue?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I honestly NEVER have understood the boot animation thing,
I sometimes go a week without rebooting my phone.
I should get into habit once a day, but still it's like 10 seconds maybe once a day, that 99.9% of the time only you see..
If a boot animation makes you dis-like your phone, I don't think that the phone is the right choice for that person.
also confused how it's getting old fast? Yes they shut down htc dev, but sonic is taking care of that, if someone can't put down $8.55 for $600 of insurance, then well, I guess no root for you.
No risk no reward. I know fully I may not get my HTC One back and in working order.
but I trust Sonic, I have faith with him and with a signature required and $600 of insurance I feel pretty safe with where my phone is.

Cool rant bro. I mean, half of what you said has nothing to do with anything... but I'm glad you were able to get all that off your chest.
I see now that the modders and tweakers at XDA never reboot their phones and enjoy watching carrier branding animations. Good to know! :good:

Yes I know that.
I suppose my point was, don't judge a phone by it's boot animation.
all is cool guys, one comment and it's like king of the hill to jump on the guy.
this is the internet, we all have our opinions.
I never said his were wrong..
man, it's just a boot animation guys, some care about it, (like the splash screens) some just don't care at all.
based on how you use your phone, and how much you reboot, etc. many variables.
No need for name calling Moderators, though.
Well Members here is one of those Moderators....

Hey the MT4Gs gingerbread test rom is out
Doing this off my phone but here's the link
http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/1429008812011423193890/
I'm not a dev but the dev would love this that I know
Dunno what's new but got this off android spin
~new features are a added selections via the notification pull down, which adds toggles for WiFi, WiFi Hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS, data connection and a shortcut to the settings menu. As mentioned before this is not the official build we’ll see rolling out and bugs may be present however for those developers looking for so new stuff to play with there may be valuable assets to be obtained. ~

Wow. Thanks. See what we can do with this one. Maybe its something different.
How do I flash this? PD15IMG.zip? I cant figure it out for the life of me and I used to work for Google
I have no clue to be honest with you. I haven't downloaded the zip yet (not near a PC) but maybe through fastboot or maybe through the bootloader if its an img file, but really don't take my advice cuz I don't want your phone to brick
But if anyone is really good at this and knows what to do or knows how to flash this rom, come on and give your $.02 would be helpful

Okay guys, I need some help from some genius hacker out there! I bricked my Evo... I know what you are thinking... Yes, it is a REAL brick!! the kind where your phone does not respond to anything at all!! It doesn't even charge or connect to the computer, the screen doesnt even come on.
I was updating the radio and it went to the white screen with the green android. When that happens you are supposed to let it sit, its loading or whatever, i rushed in and took the battery out, and that's where i screwed up! I knew i wasn't supposed to do that but at the moment i didn't remember that part!
Some help would be greatly apreciated, if you can fix my problem, I might be able to pay back with some real information about boost+evo!
Thank you

If you pulled your phones battery during a radio update your phone is now a paperweight. If it won't turn on there's nothing you can do. I hope you have insurance bud. Sorry
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Nevermind.
If you pulled the battery before the radio update finished and it wont respond, its pretty much a sure thing that its done man. Sorry There isn't anything anyone can do. Have you tried charging the battery for a while or a different one?

Unfortunately, you are correct. You now have a REAL brick and there is nothing you can do about it. If it's under warranty, take it to sprint and see what they say.
That is the one way to guarantee making a brick out of an Evo...pulling the battery during a radio flash. Sorry for your luck.
EDIT: We all replied at the same time. Nice.
Yea, that's what I thought, but maybe, just maybe, someone came out with a solution... But yea, i have 2 batteries and a charger for them... I have done sooooo many worse things to this phone and this is the one thing that actually screwed it up... LOL
I wish i could take it to sprint, but i can't.. LOL don't ask why please...

Haha, I'm going to ask anyway, WHY??? Does it have something to do with your boostmobile comment in the OP? Or for some other reason you don't have Sprint service? Bad ESN? I don't really care, I'm just curious. But yeah, as everyone else has said, you're hosed. You might be able to get $50 on craigslist as a non-working parts phone. Or, call up HTC and see if they'll do a warranty replacement without involving Sprint. No idea if this is even possible, but it's worth a shot. Unless the ESN is bad, then you're probably on your own.

flex as in LCD ripple is normal provided your screen is rock solid and not physically moving up and down, if this is the case the ripple will reduce with time
You're sick of waiting? Figure out how to get S-off then.
I feel your pain, I am waiting patiently for S-Off, but want to install some custom rom's so bad. Since the phone (to me) is only about 6 weeks old i'm staying with stock for now. If S-Off takes another few months I think I will end up using HTCdev.

I've been having this issue also, it keeps getting worse. It seems like something is not getting cleared because after a clean wipe/flash everything is fine. Then as time goes on it starts happening again. I thought it might just be a rogue app, so I didn't install or restore anything and it eventually freezes. I think it may be a JB issue because I've seen people with other phones post about it as well. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

It's really going to come down to store interpretation of the rules. Yeah, there are so many variables that could come with the rooting process itself it's also so unlikely to be the problem. The commonality of bad electronics is so, well....common and this does sound so hardware-ish. I'm absolutely certain some other store would have been jerks about it just because the store happened to hire jerks. Sounds like they get good people. I'd say write them a nice email. Try to add the guy's name in. At least help him get a better raise or something for his effort.

Thank you for clearing this up. I'm with you on the hardware issue though, because if it freezes up for the basic scrolling then there is something wrong. Plus if it gets that hot that quick without much usage there is obviously something wrong.
My LCD went out and I had to go to 3 different Sprint stores just to get it fixed..
I hope it's not hardware related. This is the second phone that has done it and it takes about a month each time for the issue to show up. That could be a manufacturing defect, but it seems so rare and random.

He would have if it didnt get to hot while he used it. While he was checking for normal freezing problems, it froze on him, and then right before he was about to factory reset it, he said he would just order a new one. He showed the other tech how hot it was and was amazed. It froze just from opening an app and scrolling,
and got hot with 3G turned on and the phone just sitting there. I've always used stock rooted, never flashed new kernel or anything. I think he might have noticed and just let it slide, because as I said before, I have been coming in since 2010 with legitimate reasons to replace phones. I just odin'd my phone after triangle away so it looks completely stock. Before that I backed up all my files with my backup, and when I get the new phone, I will just root it and restore. I'm lucky though. I told him that I have tried many factory resets and even the Odin ones where it wipes the internal memory and it still does it (which is true, I have). When I take it in, I could have acted dumb and said NY friend did that rooting so he could silences my camera blah blah, but I like to be honest.

Just make sure you reset the flash counter and Odin it after you backup all the files you will need.

I always try to do that. Every time I go in, the techs are so nice. They say sprint may call and text me about my store experience and they ask will you say you had a good one, and I always say I definitely will, but I never get that call or text. Didn't know you could email, so I will definitely do that now! Like I said, I have been where stores hire jerks, and tech wise, they have always been kind and willing to help. Maybe its because I'm straight forward with them, maybe not. If he would have asked if I rooted it I would have said yes. Thank you for the idea.

Yeah pretty much sums it up. I rooted my first note 2 everything was fine then all of a sudden i installed a kernel and it would take 12 hours to charge to full from fulll empty. and about 15 min to even turn on. ever since then i cracked the screen and got a replacement. kinda liking it stock. but kinda wana root it again. only thing stopping me is that i dont want anything to happen to this phone. I DUNNO WHAT TO DO. any suggestions?
I don't understand why you people think root access on a phone is some big mystical journey that must be deeply considered before undertaking on ' the path' . It's one click and it's done. Another click and it's gone. What's the big deal.

Edit. In fact you need an I phone so that you don't have to ponder these 'monumental' decisions anymore....pfft. please. I think this is a troll.

Its just i messed up my phone last time "i think" unless it was just a manufacturers defect. just wanted to know any tips people might have so it might not happen again. No need to be a douchebag.

Whether or not you should root your phone is completely up to you. If you like stock, leave it stock. You don't have to go around flashing new kernels or ROMs if you're satisfied with stock. I rooted it because I wanted tethering and unlimited multiwindows... I have the stock kernel and stock ROM but deodexed with a few mods that I like. There are a ton of awesome ROMs out there but I'm not trying to win a popularity/nerd contest as to who can make the most changes to their phones. Make your phone the way you want it and what you want out of it.
Pretty much what i'm saying is are you happy with your phone right now? what would you change about it and is it possible to do this easily?
I thought about rooting also, but I'm happy with it stock and have no issues what so ever. This is the first and only phone I've not rooted. There's always a downside to rooting, whether it be updating, bugs, whatever. I'm enjoying my phone as is with apps I don't like simply disabled.

ONLY ROOT!
Hands Down. You Have To Root.
AOKP, CMX.1, AOSP LiquidSmooth Are All Available Now.
Good Luck.
It's just that you're thread doesn't say anything. I mean it's like asking if the sky is light blue or kinda blue. I mean you could have at least had a halfway good question....bah I'm not even going any further. I quit

I personally don't see enough evidence for trolling but I think it was the literary license you took with "Solos' Long journey to finding his fate" that raised the troll alert for some. Had you merely titled it "To root, or not to root" you may have had less suspicions (but who am I to tell you how to express yourself.. some of us tend to be more or less tolerant than others & I found value in your thread)..
You may want to check out my thread as I too was exploring the "to root, or not root" debate given how remarkable the Note2 is. As I mentioned there I honestly am very happy with the all the customization available in Go Launcher over stock TW & so far satisfied with the battery life which prompted the need debate but I also think I should be able to tether wirelessly with my data allotment on occasion & check out Titanium backup & all Avast options that require root so I will likely root-update this weekend as I want zero downtime during the week. I do appreciate the stability I'm currently experiencing so if that becomes compromised I am trusting posters here that its full unroot option would enable easy reversibility. I also currently have Monthly4G™ Handset Protection but hopefully I won't ever have to use it. -Peace
