[Q] First timer install issues

I've tried several times to install android on my AT&T tilt with varying success. I have gotten a few mods to run now but they all seem to have the same problems so I think I'm either missing a step somewhere or not setting things up correctly. I can navigate within Android but can't use the phone functions. It shows a signal on the meter but seems to hand on dialing and when I try to hand up stays on the "hanging up" screen and the phone icon stays in the upper left corner of the screen. Also it hangs when I try to import contacts from SIM card when trying to access card.
Installed to SD card
radio version 1.65.21.18
builds - various but latest is VaniljEclair_RLS10b
info from within Android
network - Cingular
signal strength -101dBm 6asu
mobile network type UMTS
service state in service
mobile network state connecting
kernel version 2.6.25-01130-g99a3b07-dirty
mod version cyanogenmod-5.0.8-d5-ve-rls10b
build number epe54b
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm using the same build on TyTN II, and I have no issues with it. I have the OS installed to NAND however.
Are you sure that you are using the latest kernel??

I had tried installing that version after others had the phone issue since it included all files in one zip.
I finally removed the battery and after a reboot everything seems to be working now. Guess I should have done that instead of just a reset...

Minor issues - Help appreciated

Hi all!
I'm new to DHD but NOT to android as I have a HD2 running android since July 2010!
However i made a fatal idiot error when i was so existed to the extent where i updated the software directly when getting it and now i'm stuck with it. I have:
-2.3.3 android
-2.42.415.1 build
-12.54.50.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 baseband.
- and of course a stock ROM unrooted and locked!
Ok so here's the minor issues i'm having:
1- Although i have disabled (unticked) all prediction and spell correction in keyboard settings, it's still giving me a red line under wrong words (or so it thinks) and gives me the ability to add it to custom words although i dont want that.
Any help on that?! (i know i can install another keyboard but the stock one is the perfect for me)
2- Weather animation (after unlock) plays 1 on 20 times with sound effects and the remaining 19 times without any sound!
Any help on that too?!
4- The magnification window that is created when u scroll on a keyword while typing is shifted upwards!!!
Example: if i write : asdaksdj asd midnight lkj asdakjd akj daklsj dalkjsd
asd asdl kjas dlkajsd lakjd laksjd daytime laskjd laskjd laskj dlakjfggjwpio
qweoiusdfkj dfknsdlfisdfop
and if slide on "daytime" i can see the word "midnight" magnified while i can see the top of the cursor moving on the word "daytime"!!!
However also 1 on 20 times it works normally!!!
Any help?!
3- Finally one irritating issue is that i cannot set a security lock screen for this phone!
In fact, i "can" set a "pattern" or a "PIN" or a "Password" without any problem, however it does only work once after unlock!!! After that it will be disabled automatically. When i go to settings i can see like if there's no security locks!!!
Any help on that please?! (PS whatever the duration of autolock (i mean immediately, after 3min, etc....) is set, it's still the same)
Thanks guys!

Anyone please?!

red dots are bug(or maybe htc didnt want to disable that) , also all htc gingerbread update have bugs, that's the reason i rooted my phone, because factory reset didnt help me.
i didnt have problem with weather.
try factory reset, and if that does not solve the problem, root is your friend.
before you done factory, remove battery for few seconds, and see if you still have problems.

I think you try doing 'Factory data reset'
Factory data reset will lose all data on your phone memory but not the data on SD card. So make sure you back up SMS, Contacts and calendar entries etc..
Then go to 'Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset
then follow the instructions.
Hope this will help,
Good luck!

the question is
How in the hell you couldn't downgrade ...to get ROOT

Blackscreen after lollipop update

So I just bought my z1c. Everything went fine until I got a notification to update my phone to Lollipop. After all the updating and stuff, my phone turned on. I saw a language selection screen popping up for a split second and then my phone went black with a visible status bar at the top, which I can't slide down. When I lock and then unlock my phone, I see the language selection screen and get transfered to the blackscreen with a visible status bar. I already tried to connect the phone to my PC and fix everything with PC Companion, but it asks me for my screen to be unlocked in order to work. PLease help

same problem
hi. i m facing the exact same problem. did you get it fixed?

too
i too have the same problem as discribed.
Did anyone find a solution for this?
---- update -----
I was able to find a solution to the problem via
Sony PC Companion > Support Zone > Software Update > repair phone
All the content in the internal memory is lost (not the SD Card) but the phone was updated one more time and is now 100% functional
Of course it would be best to update your information regularly, especially before upgrading.
Maybe it would also work to access the phones content via USB before repairing - I did not try to do it
Hope it helps

Firmware Update to Marshmallow - GPS Stopped Working

Hi!
I've made a post in the Asus forum, with no luck and I found this page where you seem more technical :
Two days ago I downloaded the Android MM 6.0 update from the Asus Homepage downloading the version WW-4.21.40.144 , since I live in Brazil and the phone was bought here. I followed all the steps one by one till it got updated.
The problem is, since then my GPS is not working (Waze, Googlemaps ans several apps).
I tryed:
1. Giving all permissions of location to the apps
2. Puting the settings in High Accuracy
3. Restarting the phone several times.
4. Switch on and off Airplane mode and 2G 3G ands 4G (I read sometimes its interference from that)
5. Waiting almost an hour with the phone outside (sunny day) to see if it detects the satellites.
6. Every app inthe appstore that promise GPS Fixing (reseting, A-GPS and all kind of tests. Funny thing, the sensor IS working acording to those apps.
7. Factory Reset
8. Factory Reset and Erase Cache from the bootmenu. (as indicated in the Asus Forum)
9. Downgraded to Lolipop again. WW-52.20.40.196
10. Again every app to reset the GPS.
Nothing worked.
To my surprise, now I have Lolipop and no GPS. So back to basics but, worst.
The Asus forum told me to Update to the latest version, which I did:
1. Updated my phone with the latest MM version. 4.21.40.223.
2. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps.
3. As the old software was installed after that, I tried Waze. No GPS Signal was found.
4. Did a factory reset.
5. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps
6. Installed the apps GPS Toolbox and Waze again, the both can't find a GPS signal. I left the phone outside for 10 minutes.
7. Tried to install the version UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user by bootloader, but it says it cannot update to an older version, which sounds about right. (I had to try)
What else can I do? I don't mind going back to Lolipop, but when I did GPS didn't work.
Is there any chance the new Update wrote something apart from software in the chipset that cannot be undone?
Help please, I really need the GPS!
Phone not rooted.
Thanks!
Juan

After long hours of searching, reading and trying I got it fix. How?
0. Have a full charged battery or have your phone plugged to the wall (except for the USB stuff on step number 2, obviously)
0.1. Make backups of all the info in the phone, because everything is going to be erased.
1. Download the version WW-52.20.40.196 from Asus website.(unless you need the other like CN, JK, etc, see Asus site to be sure)
2. Copy it to the internal storage of your phone in the root of it (not in any folder), via USB.
3. Get to the boot loader (Turn off phone and once is off, push the power button with the Up volume one until it vibrates 2 times. Release only the power button until the menu appears) - Search the forum for more details.
4. Select "Recovery Boot" with the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm.
The next steps are all in the Recovery Menu (once it finishes every step it goes back to the original menu, no alerts, sounds or nothing. So check every now and then)
5. Make a Wipe/factory reset, and wait, it takes some time. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
6. Make a Wipe of the cache. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
7. Install update from Internal storage selecting the name of file you copied on step number 2 (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm). It will take a while.
8. Reboot the system (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
It will restart with the phone in the Lolipop version and the GPS working fine. Even after the Lolipop updates.
Marshmallow update has a bug, that at least with my phone the GPS doesn't work. Tried reinstalling marshmallow latest version after the GPS got fix, just to prove the point, and in fact, it stopped working again.
Then I did all the steps above again and went back to normal again.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW WITH THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE VERSIONS AVAILABLE.

I also had this problem with Marshmallow ROM, as the GPS is not working in terms of unable to locate any signal from satellites.
However, I also solved the problem with a method sounds very silly.
I turn on my GPS overnight using an application called GPS Status.
The night I turn it on, it was locating 0 satellite (it will write 0/0 SAT). However in the morning, I found that the GPS is now working, locking on 8 out of 24 discovered satellite (it wrote 8/24 SAT).
Now my GPS is working seamlessly.

Thanks! I will try it next weekend. I need my phone this week. Hahaha
I ll post when I do so.
Do you know other similar cases of people who did that and worked?
The thing is, now I have Lollipop again an I noticed how slow the system is running with applications. I d love to have the update, but not sacrificing the GPS

I decided I won't make the test because it doesn't justify the risk and time.
I'll wait for a newer update or just stay with Lollipop.
Just to let you guys know in case someone was waiting for this

I downloaded GPS Status as suggested by SleepingAran and ran it once. Now my Waze is working seamlessly. Thanks!

There's another simple solution that works:
Follow exact steps:
1. Turn on location and set high accuracy mode
2. Open google maps
3. Move your phone several times in the shape of 8 (8-10 times should be enough)
4. Close google maps and clear it from recents screen
5. Start google maps again. Profit

Vibration work only when charging

I´m on stock rom, but since first miui 11 update the phone only vibrates when charging. I´ve tried to change all settings on accessibility and "sound and vibration", nothing solves the problem.
Any hints?

Found a solution! Looks like a bug, vibration isn't restored when phone leaves battery saving mode. Vibrations can be restored via ADB (but you need to allow write secure settings in developer options) using
settings put global battery_saver_constants "vibration_disabled=false,animation_disabled=true,adjust_brightness_disabled=false"
EDIT: after some time vibration was disabled again, even without entering battery saving mode.

I'm facing this also with PocoF1
