Hello there,
I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.
However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it.
Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer!
Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!!
thanks guys, i clearly came to the right place here!
great.
what rom did you install on your tornado?

Wow you waited whole hour and a half before you gave up to wait for an answer, LOL.
PS
Your problem is cammera button - its half stuck so you need to clean it.

didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...
however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.
i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up
thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
thanks

25 and a half hours, but sorry for the impatience its just very frustrating to not be able to use a phone when i have no spare.
i'm pretty sure the problem runs a little deeper than the camera button but i'll give it a try.
thanks
As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
Just saying it should be Android Revolution HD
Thanks for your effort!

WiFi not working?
I just installed this Rom and now wireless is not working any suggestions?
EDIT: It was my router config all is well.
Gps Issues
I love this Rom but I can't get my gps to work very well. I tried Lee's and cyno just didn't like them but the GPS worked. I really don't want to have to switch away from it just because I can't use apps that use my gps ( mapmyrun, google latitude)
Sometimes, it will work with an accuracy of like 800-2000 ft after fixing for 10-15 minutes. I have tried every solution on the Android Revolution F.A.Q section Q.14. It worked fine before and if I switch to a different ROM. Also, I have tried apps like GPS FIX, Faster fix, and Gps essentials. My radio is the suggested one for the ROM.
Any ideas I'm desperate?
Also I have noticed when trying this fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12185980&postcount=20784
Under my
gps.conf file (inside system\etc):
I have no gps.conf file at all.
Any ideas?
So my question.. By far ARHD is my favorite rom, the only issue I'm having is that every once in awhile when i try to unlock the phone it won't respond the anything. The only way to get it to turn on again is a battery pull. I remember when I had my captivated I had similar issues but muuuuch worse. I followed the flashing directions line by line and did a full wipe. The last time it happened was today right before I updated to 5.2.4 so ill see if this makes it any better. Any ideas why this is happening, does my processor not like OC and I need to scale it down? Other than that I love everything about the rom thanks in advance for any help.
Does anybody have any idea why I can't set a permanent screen lock? It's like everytime I set a pattern lock or PIN lock, it works once then no longer requires a pattern or PIN to unlock my phone depending on which one I chose to use. Any help would be appreciated.

That is a good guess. Test it out by scaling it down and monitoring what the behavior is. Mike's rom should be set at 1.152gHz out of the box. That is not high at all but every phone is different and if you have yours set higher your particular phone may not like it.

That is a strange one. Mine works with no problems on AR. Sorry I could not give you a better clue as to why this is happening. Possibly try flashing again to see if that solves it. Either that or do you have any lock switch type apps that may be causing some kind of problem?

Hmm. I don't have any type of apps that could cause this and I've already tried flashing it again but the problem still persists. Oh well, no biggie. Thanks for the reply.

After you set the pattern or pin did you change the inactivity setting? I believe default is it will only lock after 5 minutes of inactivity. After you set the pattern/pin the second setting down is "Lock phone after" then gives you the selections immediately, 3 mins, 5 mins and so on. Make sure its set to immediately. That would be my best guess from the info you provided.

Yeah, it's set to immediately but still does the same thing. Thanks for the help.

I am currently using this rom and I think its great. The only problem I've had was downloading from the Android market. But it started to work all of a sudden a few days ago.
Thanks for the ROM. Great work.
Well, I just upgraded from 5.2.5 (which I installed this morning) to 5.2.6... very smooth upgrade.
Well, mostly smooth anyway. I have the sense 3.0 lockscreen installed and although it works in terms of pulling the ring up to unlock, there are no icons (and yes, I have configured the ones I want there) and no matter which lockscreen I choose under personalizations, I just get the same background I have on my home screen with no icons, no clock, no weather, no nothin'. I did so a SuperWipe when I installed 5.2.5 this morning, but the dev's notes say you don't have to SuperWipe if you are installing over another 5.2 release.
Incidentally, I saw the exact same misbehavior under 5.2.5 and was hoping it might get fixed.
Other than that it seems to run real well though. Is the 3.0 lockscreen working for others?
Installed the "Restore HTC Lock-Screen for Android Revolution HD 5.2.x " mod to revert to the non sense 3.0 lockscreen, and it works, but I notice that under "personalize -> lockscreen" it still shows the sense 3.0 ones, and lets you modify and select one, but it doesn't work.
Although I normally use an external bluetooth GPS, I just tested the internal one with 5.2.6 and it locked on quickly and gave about 16' accuracy.
I've been using this ROM for the past few days and I think its great.
However, I didn't flash a new radio (the one suggested on the thread). Is that alright? Will I see a huge difference flashing a new radio over the stock one?
does the new APN trick work with AR HD for the wifi tethering?
hello there,
yesterday i've flashed an JB rom, it works very well, i install all my stuff and sygic from the play store .
when i try to download additional data for sygic, the image on the screen doubled, like a screenshot on the active screen with 2 or 3 pixels on the right .
so i pull out battery and pull it in and try to reboot, but nothing, not even a light on screen or on softkeys.
and i noticed if i leave the battery in it, the phone become warm in 5 minutes, like it was running .
does anyone have a clue to save this one ?
sorry for my english, i'm french
Damn... this is like 5 bricks within a week that I know of. Nexus S are dropping like flies.

Try some of the following:
-Leave the battery out for a few hours, press the power button a few times before putting the battery back in and then try to boot
-Adam's Unbrickable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393)
first, thanks for your reply guys,
so, does you mean battery is dead or something ?
and i try unbrickable software, but device is not detected, so i ask its developers to have information about the hardware mod, still no answer .
or maybe i do something bad trying to use this tool ?
This sounds a lot like what happened to my NS earlier this week. Here's a link to my post about what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844034
I originally thought it was a battery problem, but my wife and I both have a NS so I tried her battery in mine and it still didn't work. Also, my battery worked fine in hers.

yeah, i've seen your post early today while searching solutions.
does anyone know how to use the unbrickable tool ? in his post, the dev says something and in the software says something else !?!
i finally apply the hardware mod on my own, use the unbrickable tool , but now, i have search and home key lighted so what to do next on linux ?

Hello XDA! Even though I love technology, I tend to tread lightly when diving into outside-the-box programming topics. That being said, I recently decided to dip into the rooting pool and I've enjoyed the experience so far. I rooted my S3 (SCH-I535) and added the MOAR rom on July 4th, and everything ran smooth for the first week. Recently, I'm running into an issue where the phone freezes on the lock screen and then goes into a soft reset. It's happened a couple times a day for the last three days or so but once it boots back up it seems to work okay for a while. I've also noticed that the phone turns the screen back on when I hit the power button, repeats about three times before stopping. Is this problem related to the root and rom process at all? I've had the lock screen problem briefly when I had my Droid 2 Global, not sure what happened to fix that (if it fixed at all...). I would ask the MOAR rom forum, but I'm a noob (not sure if it's rom related either). Any help would be appreciated!
p.s. will be loading the new version of MOAR later tonight, maybe that will help?

Try disabling the ripple effect in your lockscreen settings. That is a known issue with any lockscreen other than the stock one.
Seriously a new version of MOAR? Dang it seems like every time I downloaded the new version they're putting up a new one. Which isn't a bad thing but still. Did they say this on the thread?

Where can I find the kernel information?
So with a couple tests, I found that the phone tends to soft reset twice if I enter the wrong swipe password, not sure why it has to freak out like that but it's annoying. That's the only time it's been resetting now. The other issue, screen turning back on after I turn it off with the power button, is still persisting but isn't happening in any discernable pattern.
Okay so I found the kernel information, it says
"3.0.31-1152558

People in the MOAR forum (Verizon S3) have had problems on the reboots with the Blackberry lockscreen, but I'm on Rotary so that doesn't help.
Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry for creating another thread related to bricked TF201 but it seems like almost every thread I've read was a little bit different and many of them people were able to get into fastboot or they had one of the 4 different "bricks" (mine is not one of them)
A little back-story: I've had my Transformer Prime for a little over a year now and I never had any issues with it and I never tried rooting/unlocking it. Last night, I decided to do it so I unlocked the bootloader using ASUS official way and then rooted it successfully. Rebooted a few times to make sure all is well and then for some readon I download this app called "Transformer reboot to Recovery" (which is the cause of this whole thing) which I used to reboot and that was the last time I was able to use the tablet =/
Now, the only thing that happens when I boot it up or press Volume down + power button is I get to the ASUS boot screen and it just hangs there. In the upper right corer it says "The Device is UnLocked" - in the middle "ASUS Inspiring Innovation - Persistent Perfection" and "POWERED BY NVIDIA TEGRA" on the bottom. When I try to turn it off it's not working (I have to wait for battery to die to turn it off) and when I hold Volume Up + Power it seems like the screen turns off (but from what I read the tablet is still on).
I tried plugging it into my PC but it is not recognizing it, and I tried everything to get it into CWM or fastboot but nothing seems to be working. I am pretty sure that I am screwed and this is probably one of the worst kinds of bricks (it's not even mentioned in the sticky thread on how to unbrick Transformer Prime) and unfortunately I am beginning to accept this sad faith hah.
If anyone experienced the same scenario and was able to resolve it or wants to share their solution to similar problem I would really appreciate it. It's too bad that this happened but I guess I knew the risks and am the only one to blame, so probably the only remaining thing I can do is sell my keyboard dock and put the tablet somewhere on the wall and use it as a mirror or something lol.
Once again, sorry for adding another one of these thread, and thanks for any kind of advice in advance.
