[Q] hboot and voice quality - HTC Incredible S

Hi,
I recently started having issues with the other party not hearing me well. The problem is with some words disappearing randomly.
It all started after I installed blackrose and ICS radio, which I then downgraded to 29m radio.
Since then, I've reinstalled ROM and tried different radios, but it didn't help. I was previously with 14m virtuous affinity and didn't have this problem. Now I have the same and the only difference is hboot.
So, although it doesn't make much sense - is there any chance that hboot may have affected the voice quality?
If not - any suggestions where to look the problem for would be most welcome

Never had problems like this. First of all, backup your ROM, than try a full wipe. If that doesn't solve it, here is a link for the newest radio from lost.prophet's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685433 I can't post the direct link, so just scroll down to FAQ and than recommended radio. Flash this and than test again. If the problem still remains, try switching the ROM. For testing an ICS ROM would be best, I guess.

Reboot when attempting to shoot video

I just rooted my Nexus yesterday to Cyans mod. I ve rooted before (tons of ROMS on my G1) so Im not a complete noobie. The ROM runs absolutely perfect and smooth EXCEPT for when I try to record video. Every time, and I do mean every time I try to record a video, the phone freezes for like 3 secs, and then reboots.
Camera shoots photos fine, and this is the only problem I have, but it is becoming a problem, considering I just bought the phone I searched the forms for this problem, and used multiple search strings and found no results.
Has anyone ran into this problem, and if so have you found a fix for it?
**MODS..I deeply apologize if this is in the wrong section.I worked a 10 hour shift and am half asleep while writing this. Please feel free to move if you see fit**
**EDIT..ok..NOT COOL...I just tried to watch a video, and that also no longer works. Anyone know of a fix for this?
Same issue here. Meh...
Ended up switching to Froyo. Hope Cyanogen keeps up.

If you've flashed the 'Froyo' radio then you'll have to downgrade it before video will work, or move (back) to Froyo.
If you haven't changed radio then I have no idea!
same here. the test video i took when i got the (ph)one was amazing quality so i'm looking forward to this working again!
If you guys were EVER on Froyo. It updated your radio. If you then went back to CM builds, you will need to downgrade your radio to the eclair radios in order for the camcorder to work properly.
The phone hasnt been on Froyo (that I know of), so thats not causing my problem. I tried to flash the prerelease before I was rooted, but it was US only and didnt work. I didnt however update my radio when I flashed to Cyan, but I was told this wasnt causing the problem. At this point, anything to get my cam and videos working again!
Would be awesome if Cyan, the man himself, could hook us up with a fix or some advice on this one!

if you attempted to flash the froyo stock update, it included the new radio. its very possible that it successfully flashed your radio, but failed to install the froyo ROM. you can easily check if you have the new radio by going into your settings and checking the baseband version. i bet you are on the new froyo radio, which is known to break video with all 2.1 ROM's. and vice versa, the old radio breaks camcorder on 2.2 ROMs.
so each time you jump between a 2.1 and 2.2 ROM, you have to flash the associated radio as well.
GOOD POINT BRO. I will check this now...
**EDIT** that was it..I must have went to Froyo radio unknowingly. I flashed the stock Nexus radio, and vids and video recording are now working just fine.
Hope this thread helps the others. I foolishly searched "cant record videos" and found nothing, when I should have searched "cant play videos", as there are many threads on that one.
Again, thanks for your help!! Didnt expect a solution so quickly!!
It also seemed to give me 3g problems when I just flashed back, but I ll deal with that one tomorrow after work
Same issue
I have a n1 with 5.0.7.1 and my phone also reboots upon trying to launch the camcorder feature. I'm going to try out the new 5.0.8 test3 with 720p hack add-on and see how that goes.

Any luck? I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod 5.0.8 and immediately after updating I noticed the change. I can watch videos in Gallery just fine, but trying to record (or open Settings) in the camcorder mode causes the phone to hang and then reboot.
I never once tried to get anywhere near Froyo. I'm still waiting for CM6. Any advice on how to restore video functionality? Should I downgrade to the previous version of CyanogenMod? Is that even possible?
As I said, I highly doubt this is a Froyo issue, but it's clearly related to upgrading to CM 5.0.8.

So, to be perfectly clear, did you or did you not update your radio before flashing 5.0.8?

I am not aware of ever having modified any "radio" functionality on my Nexus One. I bought the phone retail at the beginning of May, so it had stock 2.1. About a week later I flashed via USB to whatever version of CyanogenMod was current then. (I'm sorry and embarrassed I can't be more specific.) Everything worked flawlessly.
Then about three days ago, I downloaded the CyanogenMod Updater app from the Marketplace and used that to move to CM 5.0.8. I also performed a backup with Titanium, from which I restored after updating to CM 5.0.8. Since this was done, I my phone freezes and reboots whenever I try to record video. I mentioned the Titanium backup because perhaps the Restore System Data feature resulted in broken settings. But I do recall seeing "720p video" in the changelog to CM 5.0.8, so I'm guessing that's probably the culprit.
I don't understand how the radio would be affecting my camera, but I'm willing to try anything. If we assume that somehow the CM update did change my radio settings, how would I go about correcting that? Should I just wait for CM6, or is this radio problem likely to persist if I don't address it specifically? Is regressing to an earlier version of CM an option?

D'oh. This was clearly it. Because I got CM 5.0.8 via the CyanogenMod Updater app, I did not see that I was supposed to update the radio to Froyo independently of installing CM.
I tracked down the radio image (the Full Update Guide has all the info, for any interested persons) and flashed with that, and sure enough, I know have smooth 720p video recording.
Thank you so much for bluntly and persistently calling my attention to the radio image issue. I'm going to go back to playing with my favorite toy now. =)

[Q] PRI help

So I've searched around and haven't seen any clear information on this, so please forgive me if I missed the info in my search.
I've been having a lot of data connection issues with my Hero lately. I'm seeing my signal at about half of what I'm used to, and about half the time, the moment I go to use my data (check Gmail, launch the browser, launch the market, etc..) the 3G connection drops to x1.
So went around trying to update everything. PRL and profile updated via NFX's ROM, but PRI didn't change. Sitting at 1.70.003. I've seen several threads mentioning PRI's of 2.20 and such, but no info on how to update. I did see one mention that Fresh includes the latest PRI, but I tried that back when the issue first crept up and the PRI stayed the same.
##774# doesn't do anything on any ROM I've tried.
Currently running AOSP's GB ROM (0.1.2), but I've been running the 0.9.9.2 Froyo one recently, as well as the stable 6.1 CM. Have tried NFX and Fresh for updates.
Any one have any information on what I can do?

Not sure about the PRI deal, but have you already flashed the newest radio?
If you want the latest pri, run a stock ruu, .6 or the .7. Then do the ota update and then root the new software version. Apply clockwork via rom manager or some other recovery. After that I flashed a backup of the custom stock .7 that I was using, retaining the latest pri. All the info can be found in the forum.

That's how I did it
Edit: these links aren't working from my phone...when I use my computer, I'll double check
Radio's 2.42.02.10.29, which, unless I missed something, is the latest radio.
The links aren't working.
What I did to fix my PRI was to run the RUU. The ##768# + MSL didn't work for me at all (nothing came up), so I just ran the RUU and everything was normal again.

[Q] no sound on voice calls after any custom rom flash

I S-off'd my incredible-s with Alpharevx and flashed to Revolution HD and now everything works fine except i get no sound from voice calls, I can't hear them and they can't hear me but the call is connected. I accidently overwrote over my backup and am in a bind. any ideas would help and be welcome. any further info i can provide please ask.
EDIT June 27th
**Fixed**
I changed the radio to 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M so I could use a gingerbread custom rom.
I also noted my stock radio as 38.02.01.17_M in case i go back to the HTC stock Froyo.
That means you did not S-Off your Radio. Read the Revolution HD thread carefully as he explains that you have to do that and gives you all the steps accordingly. It is very easy.
Just go back to the thread and S-Off your radio, its going to work after that.
thx i'll check that, i flashed back to my original and its working now. I'll post back and let ya's know if i can get a costom rom on.

Thats a known issue when switching from Froyo. You just need to flash a gingerbread based radio instead of the froyo radio. Have a look here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129014
It will definitely fix your audio issue.

Reboot & Wifi "error" after 2 weeks of using any ROM

Hi all,
I've been unable to find a post about this for quite some time so I decided to make a threat about it.
I have a recurring problem with my captivate. Usually after about 2 weeks of using a ROM my phone will have 2 issues pop up simultaneously. They seem to always happen together. It seems to happen after my phone shuts off and will not turn back on until I battery pull. Once I do that I am presented with these two issues:
1.) When I try and toggle Wifi it attempts to then simply says "error" underneath it. I have found a few threads about this but no answers
2.) Upon installation OR restoration of any app with Titanium Backup my phone does a soft reboot (goes to spinning CM logo or for ICS goes to the multicolored squares flying around).
Edit: On the newest MIUI it now says "insufficient storage available" instead of rebooting when I try to install an app after the issues crop up, wifi "error" is still the same
I've had these same 2 issues occur with CM7 Stable, RC, and many nightlies, MIUI, and TeamHacksung's ICS build. I believe it may have happened with cognition too but am not positive.
I do not restore any data with TB. Before each flash I wipe system, cache, dalvik, and do factory reset and still this issue occurs without fail after about 2 weeks on any ROM and the only fix I have is to flash a new one.
Nandroid backups DO fix the problem. If anyone is willing to look through logs or something and see what was different I would be eternally grateful and certainly send you something through PayPal
Any help is greatly appreciated and I am willing to try anything at this point. Thanks!
Sorry for the double post,
Is there a better forum to post this in?

Nah this is the right place. That's a very strange problem you're having though, and I don't know what the exact solution is, if there even is one for this. The only thing I can suggest is going back to stock, and then reinstalling CM7 or whatever you want

Thanks,
Well happened again on newest MIUI. Gonna go back to stock and start over. I'll update the thread if it does or does not happen again.
Unfortunately after using Odin to go back to stock and rerooting/flashing it happened again on the most current build of MIUI. I'm currently at a loss for what to do. Has anyone heard of or seen anything like this?
Thanks in advance

Just curious, have you tried leaving it stock and seeing if it happens on a pure stock ROM? If so it could be a defect with the phone?
If you flash back to pure stock and the issue doesn't come back, maybe try a custom ROM that's closer to stock, not a CM or MIUI or ICS build. I haven't seen this issue, just trying to suggest some solutions.
I had this same problem with my fascinate. I flashed 1.10.21 MIUI follwed by glitch 13.1. This combination used to work, or so I thought. I flashed back to stock, 1.12.1 then a different package of glitch 13.1 and my wifi started working again. I know the captivates and fascinates are somewhat different, but try this out and see if it works.

I guess I could try that, I just like CM7/MIUI so much. Another thing that happens is many different applications start FCing after the problems all begin.
I tried to restore to a nandroid backup I had made before it happened this time and I received an MD5 mismatch which I believe happened last time I tried to restore...
New info:
I have not realized this before but it seems that I start getting a message that says, "Google Talk Authentication Failed", around the same time. Also FCs happen much more frequently. Is there anything I could be doing to cause this?
New Info
Just going to keep this updated with things I have tried in case anyone ever searches for this that has this issue:
Full format of SD card and odin back to stock did not prevent the issue from cropping up on the DarkKnight3 ROM with Icy Glitch. At this point I can only assume it is somehow hardware relatedl

Data Loss with (AOSP/AOKP/CM) based ROM's

Hello everyone,
Lately I have been experiencing some interesting issue's with ICS based ROM'S(not leaks). Currently I am running .905 firmware with CWM 5.x.x.x as the primary method for flashing ROM's, so far I have tested Gummy 1.2, AOKP Milestone 6, and Cyanogen Mod yet the one major issue that seems to be popping it's little head up is a complete loss of DATA(Both 4g, and 3g) connectivity. I have attempted to force Auto CDMA/PRL using the command *#*#DATA#*#* from the dialer with no luck. The radio just does not want connect properly. Just for clarification I have two bionic's, and tested GB based(no issues with data), as well as ICS ROM's(data comes up initially, but drops out completely). Maybe I am flashing the device wrong, or need to flash the ICS leak(s)(do they contain a different radio version?), root the device then flash a alternate ROM over the leak? If anyone else is experiencing this issue or has a solution please give me the heads up. Thank again!!!
