I thought of that too, but doesn't seem battery related. Charging LED displays normally. Pulled the battery, let it charge, etc etc. 99% sure that something very random and possibly bizarre happened inside and the screen died as a result. I'm almost positive it's hardware related. Couldn't find...

My girlfriends EVO just died today. She couldn't turn it back on after it went to sleep and she heard some odd static type noises coming out of it. Backlight for the capacative buttons works, but the screen is dead. Won't even display anything if we attempt to boot into HBoot or Recovery. Sadly...

Not sure why you'd ask on a Sprint Evo forum...check the Incredible section maybe?

Yeah, sounds possible that your battery stats were all garfed up and your phone thought it was at a much higher level than it actually was. Mine did that after my accidental backfeeding charger. It'd say it was at 87% and then about 20 minutes after being on the charger die, though the % never...

Sounds like your charger is too weak. After doing a modification job on a charger of mine I discovered that the charger was so weak that the phone was actually backfeeding and discharging at a extremely high rate. I recommend a charger of at least 750 mah's. The ones that ship with the phone are...

Yes, edit the vold.fstab file in /system/etc and switch the last two lines. Specifically the the "auto" and beyond and the "3" and beyond. Leave what's before the auto and the 3 on the last two lines.

Nope, absolutely no developer will create a custom rom from this new official rom that's coming out. They haven't done it in the past, why would they start making new custom roms based off of official OTA roms?

I bought this battery and was surprised at how much my battery life went down. So I switched back to my stock battery. Today I just happened to look at the battery they sent me and low and behold it says "900mAh". No wonder it didn't last long.

In that case I'd recommend "Where's my Droid". You send a text to your phone, it wakes it up and gets a GPS fix, then texts that to you. Unless the app is removed, there is no way to stop it from doing it's job. It works even when the screen is off.

Yeah, gonna have to go with the above poster. That would make it pretty much impossible to turn on the screen to then unlock it.

I modified my vold.fstab file to trick the phone into thinking one was the other, but for what your asking I don't think can be done. Symlinks aren't possible using FAT32 (which is what we have the sdcard and emmc formatted as) so that's out. Overall I can't think of any way to do it. Not sure...

I'm looking to mod the brightness settings that appear in either the power control widget or the notifications widget. Specifically I want to either add or edit one of the current ones so that I have a auto/90% (or some other % of my choosing). The closest one now is auto/dim/100%, but that's...

When was the market updated?

If you're replacing the digitizer though, it doesn't matter. The actual display screen is below that. Good luck replacing the digitizer, it's a serious PITA. Lots of sticky foam must be cut away and then you need to apply new sticky stuff. The display screen is easy enough, but the digitizer...PITA.

Gonna have to go with CM.
