No offense to anyone here, but I cant even fiddle with his phone for more than 30 seconds before I get frustrated by it's sluggishness and just hand it back to him. It's phones like that that prevented me from buying an Android phone for so long, but now I have the Evo and love it.
So, what can I do to help him out here? It's fully updated. Mostly I'd want to look into some sort of overclock and removing the sprint bloatware. Nothing fancy, just something to make it more functional.
First and foremost you need to root the phone using universal androot or z4 one click root.
Get root explorer to remove the bloatware. Once it is installed open up root explorer navigate to data/FLEX and remove bloatware.
Then you can start speeding up the phone using sysctl config app in the market. We have a thread with recommended settings floating around here somewhere. VM Heap tool and BladeBuddy to turn off stagefright, you can also use apps like SD speed increase to gain a lil speed from your sd card. After doing all of that and dialing the settings in the phone should run like a dream.
Just don't brick it. We will not take liability in the case that the phone no longer functions properly or if the battery blows up or any thing that happens from modifying the phone.
Now before you go buck wild with your dad's phone please read more about rooting and sysctl but first question is, cricket or sprint?

I never had issues with the Zio mine was great on speed an UI, rootedfrom day one. I got a semi bricked one for free im trying to flash it back as it out performs the Optius...though nothing seems to work. Ive tried booting it at least 4-5 ways. Ive used original rom, custom rom, ive tried pushing the images for boot through usb as well. Anyone got any ideas? Id love make some some custom mods for it.

Please tell me you arent trying to push the roms / themes from here on XDA. They are cricket images and wont work on sprint.
Aside from that, you may need to get someone with a working sprint zio and try to perform a nand backup from a fresh hard reset that you can hopefully restore. I dont even know if CWM recovery will work for sprint but read the thread here and give it a shot to see if it boots.
My Zio is a cricket its NOT a Sprint...

I dont think there are any stock 1.6 img files anywhere around here. Just out of curiosity why the hell would you want the stock 1.6 img anyway??
I have 1.6 images

But I promise you if it's cricket, flash the openzio rom once spz includes the kernel.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
OK, so the prob with this Zio is the last owner attempted to do the 2.2 over the air update and it failed, causing it to not boot right, then a Cricket Rep. Reloaded the OS and now it won't go passed the green droid at original start screen. Sure hope that kernel arrives soon. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it!

Have you tried erasing everything in fastboot and flashing imgs in fastboot?
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Everything is off it, I assume since the OS was reloaded it has no root, this is my first time with a difficult phone too.I have ODIN if someone would be willing to walk me through that process I'd be VERY MUCH appreciative, it's possible I've over complicated this in my head, if it has no root am I skrewed? PC won't recognize it in usb, and I'm new to adb so getting files to it is tricky for a rookie like me ={
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Scrapped that zio...even ODIN didn't help...trading that zio and this LG for an out the box brand new Droid Incredible...coming completely set up rooted,backed up,and with a tested custom ROM optimized for speed and performance! Thanks to all the awesome ppl who helped me try and get that Zio going ^_^
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Good luck with the new phone... sorry that the Zio is too complicated to use, unfortunately we only have a few devs around here... the incredible has plenty of support and everything will be easy. If you have trouble with that phone it will be user error.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue with their data dropping out on a stock D3.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Tapatalk
Mine has been fine. What ROM stock are you running? The very first ROM that Verizon released is buggy but doihg an update to 5.6.890 is a good idea.

I believe she is currently running that.

Then you need to call Verizon Tech Support and tell them the exact issue from another phone besides the one ailing. A couple simple suggestions: do a *228 options 1 and 2, and make sure it is set to Home Only on roaming. Another possibility is the battery saver data manager is running and making it so it shuts off data during specific times and comes on when the screen is on. Make sure the wireless isn't set to Global but CDMA only.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
We tried all of that. Thanks for the suggestions though. Nothing seems to work though. We just got this phone like a week ago because her other was doing the same thing. The new one did it while I was on the phone activating it lol. She's tired of it and I'm tired of hearing the complaints so I told her to sell it because she wants an iPhone.

Strange situation happened last night/this morning...
Last night I had reflashed GV on a cache/dalvik wipe then DreadGinger. I was texting "jane" just fine then all of a sudden i would not receive any texts from her. She had sent me many and I wouldnt receive them, she could send and receive to others fine and so could I, just had the issue between us two.
1. I wiped cache/dalvik and reflashed GV and still wouldnt receive them (except i got one random one but that was it)
2. So then I redownloaded GV and wiped cache/dalvik and reflashed the new one and all is well.
Just thought inquiring minds would have any guesses on what could have caused this. If you flash a ROM so many times can it corrupt it? Or why it was just between me and her?
Lol Ik this is a lot just thought I would ask for future reference and cuz I'm afraid to flash anything now till ik what could have caused it
I've had the same problem with "Jane" a few times. She's using a stock Revo and I'm on Gvolt 1.3. I can't help with what's causing the issue but it always clears up after a reboot.

reboot didnt work, wiped data, and now some issues
got one every now and then, frustrating lol
I had this problem too... its because the revolution is switching to 4g voice and text soon...

how many characters are the text messages? is "Jane" with AT&T? this will happen when exchanging long text messages with AT&T people because of the CDMA vs GSM thing....there is a workaround if this is the case....
They were short and she isn't on at&t. The issue is resolved now though! Thinking maybe it was on Verizon's end....surprise surprise lol

Yeah, I couldn't get a text delivered to "Jane" once for a week... Verizon doesn't take kindly to these femanons...

Can anyone give me Jane's number? I've been lonely these last few nights.
Also, I've experienced similar issues in the upstate SC area.

I am running Gingervolt 1.3, with blitzkrieg 2.1 & ICS Responsiveness and over the past few days every time I send a message to anyone they receive the message 3 times. I have not installed anything that would change the messaging (as far as I'm aware) so I'm not sure what is causing this. I talked to Verizon and they are "looking into the matter" but in the meantime it's very annoying because my phone just bombs people with messages when I send them anything.
Has anyone seen this issue? More importantly is there any way to fix it?
I'm curious if this is something even related to Gingervolt or if this is something that is happening in Verizon's hands, their systems or something else. When I look at my message log, it shows the message only being sent one time, even though they get it 3x.
Would reflashing Gingervolt 1.3 possibly resolve this issue?
I had this problem a couple times a months and months ago. Both on a stock phone and then on Revolt. Both instances it was a problem on Verizon's side and they fixed it in about a day. For the life of me I can't recall what they said was going on though..
For the life of me...
I cannot think of a single thing that has changed on my phone in the past few weeks. I have downloaded a couple FAOtD from Amazon but that's about it and I removed them once this started happening, it didn't fix the issue.
I talked to Verizon as I mentioned above, they sent the issue to their "specialists" so I now have been given a 48 hour window for them to resolve the issue. I don't really have much faith in them because this is the second time they have said their techs would fix it, but no results yet...
I really need to figure out what is going on here because I am driving everyone I message nuts with all these duplicates.
Are you using the stock messaging app or one from the market?
In the past few weeks I've been receiving between 3 and 17 of the same messages randomly... blame Verizon, I am. Seventeen!

This is from the stock messaging app. The one that you get when you flash Gingervolt 1.3.
Mine started doing it today. I just reflashed the gingervolt 1.3, blitzkreig 2.0 and dread ginger.
And I am using goto sms.
Before this morning, I did not have this problem.

Grab a replacement app and freeze the stock. If it keeps happening its server side, if it stops the problem solved, yeah?
I went. The vzw store for a separate reason and asked them abiut this texting issue. The folks at the store confirmed it is occuring but only on Revolution phones. They also said that no patch/fix is ready yet.

Hey guys I picked up a bell mobility HTC One in Ontario Canada the other day. I rooted it and I stalled CWM and installed 2 different roms now one was CM the other was coin's. For some reason when I pull up the xda app or try to bring it up in the browser it never connects. I can loaf the home page but not the forums and the app goes nowhere. It worked fine on stock. I have the standard version of both roms installed. However this only occurs when I'm connected to the mobile network it works fine over WiFi. Any ideas?

Here I'll get the thread going.
Could this have anything to do with firmware?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Installing latest firmware only takes 5 mins, so it's probs ideal to give it a try. I was having issues with call quality but firmware fixed it!

I never experienced this, but if you tried 2 different roms, Firmware is your best bet for solving the issue. I am on bell too, so I am not sure why it happened to u and not me.
