[FIX]Problems with you phone? - Battery pull necessary?

Hey, Im here today to give my 2 centavos ( YOU GUYS KNOW THE DISCLAIMER... ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT BLAH BLAH BLAH... LOL?)
Ive been reading some threads in the Development section about how people (users) are experiencing some problems with their phones performance.
I myself experienced these problems, such as black screen, phone lag and one of the most annoying of them all is everytime i pressed the Home button it would take a ScreenShot.
If you are having any of these problems i would suggest you do as i did and flash this CWM Recovery version ----> ** http://www.multiupload.com/UCJYHKQH23 ** (Instruction on how to flash BELOW)
(*) Its version 4.0.1.4 (Its been updated so now your phone should charge even when turned OFF) (*)
Version 4.0.1.4 messes with CPU Clock... More info on this thread ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204102
To flash CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4:
1. Download the PG58IMG.zip and place it on the ROOT of your SDCARD (You should know how to do this)
2. Boot your phone into its BootLoader and after the Sd check it should ask you if you want to update, Push Vol. UP button to respond yes.
3. After it updates push the POWER button to reboot your device
4. DONE
I flashed a new Rom right after this, so I dont know if this fixes the problems with whatever rom you are currently in. (My guess would be YES? but not sure )

Why was this thread moved to Q's and A's?

You may want to remove or rephrase the statement about 4.0.1.5 messing with the CPU clock. There has been no credible statements or evidence that the recovery image is or can cause such an issue.

It did for me, after flashing 4.0.1.4 again my problems were fixed, I had a lot of problems with 4.0.1.5
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

He old 4.0.1.4 was bad for me because it never charged while my phone was off. So I flashed to 4.0.1.5 but it kept messing with my CPU speeds. So i.update it to the new 4.0.1.4 and the two errors are fixed. I'm.pretty sure its like that for most people

I am still having problems despite flashing the updated file. Maybe I should try it again?

Have you tried reflashing the ROM? (read the last line on the OP) lol

I think the CPU clock "issue" is very misunderstood. The idea that a recovery image could cause (or fix) an issue like this is VERY unlikely.

What problems were you having before flashing 4.0.1.4?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

For me, flashing .4 allowed me to charge with pone off, but the led wouldnt light and I had to do a battery pull to reboot. Flashing .5 solved both the above issues. I believe this is a case by case basis and that either one or the other will work.
Matt

It's accepted that the charging while OFF issue can be caused/fixed by the recovery image. What I'm having an issue with is the idea that the recovery image could possibly cause an issue with the CPU clock while the phone is RUNNING. Unless I completely misunderstand how these things work, its simply not possible for the recovery image to cause that. Nothing from recovery is loaded when the OS is fully booted, so I'm having a hard time believing that there's a connection.

[Q] My mobile and wifi network has slowed down on cynagenmod 7.03

NEED SOME HELP.... Im currently running Cyanogenmod 7.03 and iv noticed some problems. Since i flashed this rom my wifi connection has been abit slower and so has my mobile network speeds. Ive done a speed test and i get around 8 or 9 down, i used to get 13-14 on wifi, and 1-3 up, i used to get 4-5 up. On my mobile network iv noticed dramatic changes. I used to get around 4-5 down and 1-2 up but now i get 1-2 down and less than 1 up. Im thinking that Cyanogenmod 7.03 doesnt support hspa+, but iv looked through the forums and it supposedly does....any help would be much appreciated.

What radio are you using? If you haven't flashed a new radio since rooting you need to. CM7 supports HSPA+, but you need to be using a proper radio&ril combo.

Im using the same radio that i had before cm7. Is there any radio you recommend? Thanks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

The one in my sig is the one that is recommended for CM7, you can check to see what one you have by going to Settings>About Phone>Baseband version

Mine is 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M
Should i install anothet?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah. That's the downgraded radio from the rooting process.
Also you should check your apn settings from henrybravos thread

Thanks for the advice... should i also install another kernel? Will it help in speeding up my phones networks..etc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

It's not 100% necessary but I highly recommend the LordModUE kernel. You will definitely notice performance gains.

Ok thanks for all the help jake and marsdta.

I just bricked my phone trying to flash a new radio, but luckily i had a backup. So i just took the battery out and restored it =]. Soooo i think i know what went wrong... i had all the files but i think i messed up on the flashing part.... can anyone tell me if i had to unzip the file then put it in the sdcard as update.zip? Or put it in the sdcard still zipped and from recovery choose the install from sdcard? Plz help and thanks.

Niether. From the radio sticky in the development section
How to install:
Radio - Download the PD98IMG.zip file. Place this file on the root of your SD card. Reboot to bootloader. When prompted, press the Volume Up button to install. Then reboot.

So i did everything and all was a success. I installed ril, lordmod kernel,puv script. But when i tried to install the radio it would abort the installation.... i did as he said but it didnt work.... should i take fast boot off? Where is it on cm7, its not where it usually is with the unknown devices.

Cm doesn't have fastboot, well atleast that I know of. Never seen a setting for it. Are you flashing the radio through hboot and not cwr right?
No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa

+1, install radio through bootloader mode, not recovery mode. Make sure the radio zip file is named PD98IMG.zip and located in the root of your sd card.

Please for the love of all that is pure. STOP!!!!!!! take some time to read about what your doing before you end up with a pile of junk that cant be fixed or returned.
I have no more pity for those that brick due to not researching.

Hearing aid icon....
You must have had the hearing aid option ticked before flashing. You can check to see if that setting exists in that rom or not, I am not sure. You'll have to speak to the dev or someone in the thread to see how to get it off if the setting isn't there.

I bet your right. I did have that enabled on the stock rom. I do not see it in the settings now.
I wish I could get rid of it.

Hearing aid...most people enable that have issues with the sound being low

Ok, this is driving me crazy.
There is no option to disable "Hearing Aid" in the Insert Coin Rom.
Here is what I have done so far trying to get rid of the icon:
Installed Revolution HD, Flashed " Superwipe" etc. The icon showed back up after initial boot.
I then restored a nandroid of the stock rom, when to settings-call and unchecked the hearing aid option.
Next, I did superwipe again and did a fresh install of Android Revolution HD 1.18 and the icon is back.
Any suggestions?

Did you do a titanium restore to restore your settings as well as apps? If you restored the system settings, you could have restored the hearing aid setting inadvertently.
Try another rom first. I used both virtuous and now running leedroid. I still have the hearing aid options checked but they removed the icon. I see it flashing on and off. Anyone using your rom have the same issue?

Yep. Same issue which I previously thought wasn't a issue. Just thought it was related to something else as ROM has been the only stable one by far.

Weird, I read somewhere that certain devs removed that dreaded ear icon lol. I ran both virtuous and leedroid and I know for a fact that the hearing aid option is still on. Not sure what else one can do, sorry.

What version of virtuous where you on? Last one I tried was 1.3

Not that I'm aware of. It doesn't matter which rom that I install, how many times I wipe or super-wipe, it has always returned.

I seemed to have gotten rid of mine. I restored to stock ROM, shut it off, then super wiped and installed Android revolution. And its been gone so far.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I've been wondering how to get rid of this icon as well. Nothing I've done seems to get rid of it. I'm using Android Revolution 3.0 and everytime i do a boot the icon comes back. I did disable the hearing aid icon before I installed the ROM.

I wish one of the devs would chime in on this issue. I wonder if they are aware of it?

Did you try to disable Google backup before wiping and while setting up the new ROM.

Random restarts vs stock rom

Ok so i rooted my phone and never had a g2 style of restart where it just rebooted on its own... Until i started flashing customs roms i tried leedroid, coredroid, p3d, bulletproof and all of them gave me random reboots almost every 10 to 30 mintues apart so i decided to restored my stock backup and havent had any reboots after that... Is there anything i can do to fix this or did i miss a step on rooting or putting my recovery image... Like I knw what im doing when flashing because i did it to my mytouch 4g all the time just sucks to be on a call or a text or browing and get random reboot because of the custom roms... Future thanks to anyone who can help me out because i cant stand the stock rom so ugh (restricted)

That certainly is strange. I remember when I was using the G2, I was getting a lot of force restarts, especially during the CM7 RC period.
On the Sensation, I've been using Android Revolution HD for a while and it's been extremely stable for me. I just make sure I'm using the Super Wipe script in clockwork and then just flashing the rom + addons like normal. I haven't had a single force restart since the ROMs started getting based off 2.3.4. Give it a try and see if it helps you out; it is definitely WAY better than stock, for sure.

Ok sorry to sound misinformed but whats a super wipe... And a little more info, i rooted the sensation after the ota update to 2.3.4 and it was fine no issues then i rooted a month after when revolutionary had added my hboot and i followed the xda developers method on installing the clockwork mod recovery.. i sooner got rom manager since its eaiser for me to knw what rom i back up... But yeah it asked me to install a recovery and i did but its still on the 5.0.2.0 recovery image... Could that be a possibility?

Stuck Inspire 4G Need some info

There are many type of information all over the internet about my situation. But some sound similar or different. I'm not a developer or good at things like this. I've successfully loaded roms into my phones in the past. I tried to load ics which I got from android central. I currently have EXT4. I did not do a backup on my older rom which is HDREVOLUTION. I simply went into boot loader, then recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik, wipe dalvik and wipe data/factory reset. Then I loaded my ics rom from the sd card. Now I am stuck on the HTC Boot screen for more than 10 minutes. All I can really do now is go on bootloadeer and EXT4,but thats about it. I even tried going on download mode which I think doesnt exist within this.
Before all this. I use acehack to root my phone. It already came in with all the necessary tools I need. I did not back up the stock rom. I just loaded the HDRev rom. Ive been waiting for months for a updated ICS rom,but so far camera is still not working properly,but I just wanted to see what it would do to benefit my phone just out of curiosity.
Now I am thinking about going back to flashing the rom update from bootloader using the stock Inpspire 4G rom,but will I able to take out my micro sd card, insert it into my laptop and put in leeroid rom then flash it using EXT4? Or do I have to go back to stock rom w/ root?

download another rom and put it on your sdcard. boot to recovery through bootloader, wipe and flash.

Would you recommend any good roms for the HTC Inspire 4G that doesn't have a dead download link? Even the stock rom has mostly dead links only 1 is working,but its taking decades to download.

IceCold over at desireHD is the most solid ICS rom I found so far. Even here on inspire the three most solid so far that I consider are Melchizedek, AOSPX and Redemption. But try a few on for size and give them about a week each to really get the feel of them.

Before this turns into a best rom thread and gets closed just look at each rom thread under the development section. Majority of the roms on the first two pages in that section here on xda are current and have good links.
Please do not ask for best rom suggestions. Everyone has their favorites. Try a few out and find the one that best fits for you.
Enjoy

yes you can use 4EXT recovery to flash rom just remember to do a full wipe before flashing.
1. Factory
2. Cache partition
3. advance> dalvik cache
4. go back
5. wipe cache partition (except SD card)
Flash rom and enjoy

The DesireHD and the Inspire 4G are basically the same phone overall. So we can use its rom on our phone. Tho some custom roms in DesireHD may require flashing InspireMod.05 after install of rom. But I dont bother with the inspiremod cause I have not had any issues with the roms.

The best Rom I have ever used is Virtuous Affinity. Not lagging, very stable, good battery life, sense.
