Sorry for the false alarm fokes.
I'm going to just tough this one and keep it. If I have bluetooth problems...so be it. Compared to the entire phone quality....it might be worth the sacrifice.
Thanks again dysolve and benjimen!!!
why not wait for the htc rom release? I have had my TC for three months and every issue I have had seems to have been fixed with rom upgrades
You might want to word your sales pitch a bit differently

Well, I have had it with this TC. I have tried flashing a new Radio, tried Murata's ( I didnt try a new ROM cause I dont think it will make much difference). I purchased a new bluetooth headset.
And nothing has worked to stop the choppiness and static to my headset. I'm convinced now that it is a hardware problem. Its not that it doesnt work but it is just annoying. Maybe it is probably the phone size and the antenna isnt as big....whatever the case I'm done.
I'm selling this damn thing.
So before I post online....I thought I might offer it to anyone interested in buying it here.
If you need pics I will post.....I will through it up for $450.00
BTW...purchased it three weeks ago so its still damn near new!!!!

Your right benjimen, I guess if I want to get rid of it, I shouldnt let my frustration destroy a potential sale. Thanks for the advice.
dysolve thanks for the reply. I have done so much, outside of ROM flash. Have you had the problem I am experiencing? If so, how did you fix it?
There are to many ROM's on this forum, and I havent found a ROM that might address my particular bluetooth fix. I'm certain HTC pushed out some crappy roms but I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem or an hardware problem.
Besides, I'm trying to find this one post that has a list of all the available ROMs to see if the OS I'm using in there. But I cant locate it anywhere.
I have an ATT Tilt, and im getting fed up with it. Ever since i updated the new rom for it, it randomly shuts down, freezes constantly, and email and things like that dont work... It consistently freezes every time i get a call, on top of just completely randomly while in my pocket...
So my real question: Would getting a custom rom fix these problems at all, or is it not worth it to risk damaging the phone? The only custom rom i have seen around is Manila i think, if there are others which ones do you think are best?
Thanks much for your help!

Your questions one at a time:
Would a custom ROM fix these problems?
Yes, probably. But might lead to new ones.
Is it worth the risk?
Only you can answer that. However, if an official ROM has produced the problems you mentioned, I would try to reflash the same official ROM first - redownload the file and everything just to make sure you didn't get a bad flash.
As long as you use HardSPL, flashing ROMs should be pretty safe. But you will more than likely void your warranty. Just read a bunch before you flash. I would start with
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
and then once you have that on your machine you need to surf around
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
to get a good idea of what ROMs are out there for Kaiser. I saw five or so on the first page.
Which ROM is best?
Again, only you can answer that. Try a bunch and you will probably find a good one.
there are alot more roms available you will need to look under the "kaiser" rom section and you will find a pot of gold
Thanks for ur help guys.. Ill check out those links and all the roms once i get home today..
hey jeordy,
I am having the same exact problems with my tilt. I had to unlock it as I use tmobile. If you come up with any solutions please post here. I hope you do.
Thanks
Hi there, today I received my HTC Inspire 4G, so I start to play with it and I notice that the screen or the resolution is very poor, I compare with my friend Inspire 4G, and his HTC the screen resolution is awesome, the colors are so nice... while mine the resolution is awful like low pixels..
Is this is a bug or something or it is a factory problem with the video card driver or something???
anyone with this screen resolution issue and can this be fixed or maybe return it to the store?
hmmm curious to see what this looks like you got any pictures by chance?
how can i take a screen shot without rooting it...
with a camera...
this is what I'm taking about
Yea it shouldn't look like that. For simplicities sake, I'd take it back and just have them replace it.

thanks a lot for your help
I mean you could go through rooting it s-off and flash the stock ruu. To see if it was just a bad flash from the factory, but honestly it would just be easier to take it back get a new one and make sure it is fully operational.

yeah, I could try it, I bought it from amazon wireless, and I'm from another country, so returning it it's gonna take long..
should I root it and try re-flashing the RUU?
Well if you root and s-off might as well flash a stock/custom rom. It might solve your problem it might not. If it doesn't you can always revert back to stock and ship it back. I recommend the Ace Hack kit. It takes a little longer then the one click, but you won't run into any trouble after doing it. Least you will know if its a a software or hard ware issue.

I already downloaded the ACe Hack kit, but dont know how where to begin...
I already make the Gold Card
Once you have the gold card made the rest is simply typing scripts in command prompt, plus a bit on the phone, provided you have adb working and your device is recognized.
Extract the contents of the hack kit and open the readme html file for the instructions.

I'm from Panama, but the phone was shipped to NY to a friend, so I can return it without problem..
Well last night I rooted it, downgrade it, flashed with the original rom, flashed to Coredroid rom, flashed to Android Revolution rom, in every rom it has the pixalation and the screen resolution problem, and unrooted it, flashed with the original rom again, and all is like new..
so it is a hardware issue.. today I'll call to amazon custom service to make the replacement..
I'll post when they replaced the phone and have it again..
thx for your help mudknot2005
ok, i called and talked to them, it's a hardware issue , so I will send it back on Monday, wait about a week and got a new phone...
I'm glad they gonna replace it..
Anytime that is what we are here for. I am guessing you turned s-off back on? If not I would do that before you ship it. To make sure all you need to do is boot into hboot, holding down volume down and power while it is restarting.
Glad to hear amazon is going to handle the issue .
I got 3 in a row with bad screens. Made me wonder if there was a bad shipment here in Pittsburgh. I wound up getting an atrix but am taking it back also. It's very buggy, I've had to do battery pulls almost daily due to the phone freezing up.
I hope your able to solve your problem. I live close to an att store so I didn't try any of the mentioned methods.
Best of luck with it.

Entire screen resolution issue
Sorry to hear everyone else is having problems, too. What led up to my issue is I tried RC Kingdom's newest ROM, and then all hell broke loose on my poor screen. And yes, I followed the youtube video on his page to make sure I installed it properly. It was sharp and crisp before I installed that ROM. I have tried everything in this thread to resolve my resolution issue, but to no avail. Tried using the stock RUU to reset back to factory. No cigar. Then I re-rooted and put my backup from nandroid on. No bueno. After that I installed CoreDroid's newest rom, RCKingdom's newest rom, and Virtuous's newest rom. Again, no luck. And I did this all from both 4ext recovery, and CWM. Attached I have provided 4 screenshots from various areas to show it's a ROM-wide issue. If anyone could help, I would <3 you forever!
If there is anything I am lacking to provide assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. I may be a noob, but I used the forum search tool, google, didn't make a new thread, and tried resetting back to stock, so please be gentle.
EDIT: I'm looking more closely at the screen, and it looks like the picture on the screen isn't filled up to the edges. Can anyone else either confirm of deny this? Thanks!
EDIT2: The edge of the picture on the screen definitely doesn't match up to the phone screen. From what I've researched on google, it could mean bad flash memory, either from time, or a bad flash. Does anyone else have ideas?

Your first sentence caught my eye. Just wanted to say this issue is very rare. Not sure if you realize this, but you responded to a 5 month old thread, where only 2 people had this problem. Haven't seen anyone mention this issue happening since then. Back in March, the Inspire was brand spanking new, so that might explain why a couple of people had the problem back then, maybe due to a few manufacturing process glitches that happens with some brand new products.
Now on to your problem. I took a look at your screen shots, and I honestly don't see any issues with your resolution. The 1st screen shot looks like you were in mid-swipe when you took it - the icon tilting effect is a normal thing when swiping between screens on a Sense 3.0 ROM using the 3D effect. The other 3 screenshots look fine. I do see a little jagginess in the scroll page indicator in your Sense dock, but I'm viewing your images on a 24" monitor and I'm willing to bet that jagginess isn't noticeable on a 4.3" screen.
One thing to keep in mind about Sense 3.0 ROMs is that a lot of stuff has been manually resized and doesn't always look its clearest. For example, I've noticed that on a lot of Sense 3.0 lockscreens the icon font looks a tad blurry. But I did notice that you said the problem happens on the stock RUU, which might indicate you've got a hardware problem that cropped up coincidentally while you were flashing ROMs.
Do your screen shots represent what you're actually seeing? Be sure to look at them on a computer monitor before answering. Regarding the issue you mentioned where your image doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen, can you post of a picture of your phone taken with a camera? I can compare your phone's screen to mine.
...that my time with HTC One SV is running out.
But lets start from beginning!
I'm very sad to tell you, that my device has an error. Something i can not reproduce, its happening randomly, from time to time and that makes it hard to solve.
The phone is shutting down, from one moment to the next. Without any logical reason, and without i get noticed of it. That means, until i see that my phone is off, nobody can call me. And thats the reason, why i can't longer use this phone anymore.
Missing calls or connectivity is a no go for me!
Of course i have sent in the phone for warranty/repair, but without luck. Every time i've got it back, it was ok some time, but always this error came back.
What i know is, it is related to GSM network. Its happening, when the phone is trying to connect to mobile internet. But like i said, not always, only sometimes.
Without Sim-Card, all is fine (changing Sim-Card to a new one did not solve it). While plugged in for charging, also all is fine.
This situation was also the reason, why i stopped almost all of my development activities with this device! I had to make it sure, that its not coming from buggy mods
So now i came to the point, where i had to make a decision. And the answer is: HTC One (M8) :laugh:
Yes, i've bought it. And it is great. And i love it. Yes, Kitkat and Sense 6
It feels so good to hold this alu-unibody phone (i know, its "only" a phone, but its simply fantastic). It feels like One SV was the step i needed on the way to a 5" phone.
Back to HTC One SV:
I'm not sure, maybe i'll try another time the repair service, but i always have to pay the cost of the delivery. Maybe i'll sell it as defect. Maybe i'll keep it as "Wifi-Surf-Machine", lol. Don't know yet.
But that means, my phone is back to stock, completely "Locked". No TWRP, no root, nothing.
That also means, no development or testing or anything like that from my side for this phone anymore.
Sorry, this was not planned, but the situation was not longer bearable!
Well, i will try to look into this forum here and keep my threads up to date, but i also will not promise anything (i can't look what happens in the future).
You still can contact me, if you see something in my threads that needs to be updated or if you want something added to my index thread.
All in all i think it will be a long slow goodbye! :crying:
At least, i wanna thank all people here, for the funny time i had and for the good things i've learned!
Special thanks i want to bring up to @Modding.MyMind @russellvone @xpirt @rollon76 @BrateloSlava (and all i forgot, can't mention all), who helped me to bring this device going up and growing better from day to day!
Thanks guys! :good:
Thanks a lot for your great work on this device and bringing up this forum!
Just one last question! Is your car holder compatible with the M8!?
Thank you for you help and for everything that you do for us ! Enjoy your new device I will leave the phone soon too ...
I may be joining you @old.splatterhand. Battery on my device is becoming unstable and I am not in the mood to deal with repairs. Can't afford to be without a phone for a week or so. My line of work won't allow it lol.

#M8
This saddens me. However the M8 is on my radar anyway. ?
Glad to had you here. You have begun this xda forum and put a lot of work. Thank you for your support here and have fun with All New One.
I got my LG G2 since few days . My friends just made me a gift for my bday . Sorry but i am leaving the phone too ...
Thanks
Thank you soooo much for responding to all our questions, Especially mine
You are another reason for me to buy a M8
Thanks so much for help, for ROMs and any other things you've done for our One SV
Regarding unstable phone... Try to clean gold connectors on battery and phone. I had similar situation. Phone 10months old just started to shut down. I press power to turn on screen and htc sign - turning phone on...it was off. Random, once-twice a day. I think also network coul be problem... So I did twrp restore and clean those connectors because i read somewhere that it can be oxidized and need to be schrached a bit. Since then phone is ok. Maybe weak signal + some apps load phone to give more energy and oxydation on conectors cause instability... I didnt do any big mods. Stock one sv lte 4.2.2 root supersu, twrp, rumrunner s off. Just deleted some bloat. In time of restarts i started using app superbeam, but restarts happened random. Also instaled call recorder, but didt use it. Thats it. I have now super beam and works ok. Didnt try call recorder again, dont need it.

Interesting find!
What did you use to clean? Can you make a picture of yours?
Actually my wife is using the One SV as her main phone. Without a problem!
But she has no mobile internet in her provider contract, so it is disabled all the time. And for me it crashed always when it was connecting to mobile internet.
The idea about the "higher energy load could cause instability" was also in my mind, but i had no idea how to resolve it.
I think i will take a look at this :good:
I used small knife, pocket knife..didnt press hard. I read that affects some htc phones, sensation i belive.. when it happened i was in forest, weak signal...
Report back if that helps...i dont know is that solution or twrp restore solved things...i did everything i could think off so dont know what solved problem..
I will try as soon as the problem comes again.
Right now i don't want to wake sleeping dogs...
There is nothing strange you do. Just pull battery out an clean...
Now my phone works ok 2 months without turning off.. fingers crossed..
@old.splatterhand
I'm sorry sir I've just now noticed this....The m8 is great, I bought two early this year.
The M9 (HIMA) I will buy as soon as it's released
See you around my friend

Hi Russel, nice to talk to you again
Sometimes i have seen your posts in M8 forum or in Sunshine thread, always great to see "old" folks again :highfive:
Yeah, i have the M8 since early May now and its great. Nothing to worry about, for me!
That also could be the reason, that i maybe skip the M9. My M8 is just great :good:
And honestly: i'm in hope that HTC releases a tablet with Sense, similar size like Nexus 9 and with Snapdragon CPU...
I think its amazing to see your dedication to the sv forum..
All the work, time, effort and time you have put into this..
Its simply amazing..respect!!
Did the error also contain inernet browser shutting of randomly?
I have never had any issue with my sv..
I did not do much to it, dont know much about all the how to's, why not's, but have shyed away from the stuff i thought to be too risky for me (well for my sv).
In the mean while i bought a m7 and tried a bit of the risky stuff, wich made me smile and think back to my sv..
Yesterday i did s-off my sv for the first time and wanted to remove red warning, wich, in the end resulted in my sv not booting up into rom any longer.. will look into that to solve that, but...
Before i did this, i wanted to change my boot animation, turned on 'show gif' in internet browser and immediately i experienced random shut down's of internet browser.
Maybe you forgot about the sv, maybe you still think back once in a while, maybe this info is of any use, maybe not...
Thanks
Gave my little bro the old skyrocket with a stable rom on it since I wasn't using it all that much. He hasn't been the most careful with it (dropped it a few times) but its held up save for a few scratches on the battery door.
Problem is he rebooted one night and this big white line appeared right down the middle of the screen (I honestly think he dropped it and is too embarrassed to tell me). He showed it to me and it only shows up when the screen is on. Booted into CWM, same thing.
Just to clarify, this is definitely a hardware issue right? This probably sounds like a stupid question but he really wanted me to ask... apparently my word isn't good enough cause now hes freaking out about getting the money to buy a new phone.
need new screen/lcd
u can try odin back to stock but i dont think that would solve it
