HTC Evo 4G LTE: The application (process com.android.vending)has stopped unexpectedly?

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 06:18:25 -0700

Google Play was accidentally uninstalled. I reinstalled it and now get the error message, "The application (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Is there a way to save my phone? It's running Android version 4.1. I've only had the phone 4 days.

HTC Evo 4G LTE: How to recover (internal data from) completely dead/powerless phone?

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 18:28:56 -0700

My son dunked my Evo 4G LTE under a foot of water. It was still on, so I powered it off by holding the top button down, then dried it out in rice for several days. Plugged it in, powered it on - amazing! Looked great! Had to leave for work, by the time I arrived an hour later the phone was a brick - no power, no reset holding the top button (with or without volume up or down), when connected to a computer via USB it neither registers no demonstrates any sign of power.

My main concern is the first four months of my daughter's life in video and photo stored on the phone's internal storage (android "phone memory"). I know, I should have backed it up, but I have two in diapers so best practice sometimes falls by the wayside. I did not have automatic upload set up via dropbox or google.

The phone is under warranty, sprint offered a refurbished for $35 - so I know I can get a working phone back, but I'll gladly opt to pay for a new phone and rip this one apart to get my data back.

Questions for the pros:

1. Is there any hope of recovering the data by recovering the phone? I'm not much of a hardware hacker so this would be easiest for me.

. 1a. Could it just be the battery is trashed? Is it possible to get/replace just the battery?

. 1b. Since USB doesn't bring power, could it be part of the power "subsystem," something that I could independently replace?

2. Alternatively, does anyone out there know how to get to and read this phone's internal storage?

. 2a. Is it a card or chip that can be removed and accessed outside of a phone?

. 2b. A card or chip that I could remove an put into another Evo 4g LTE, or that I could put into a replacement "motherboard" for the same phone?

. 2c. Can I solder some wires somewhere on the phone to try to access the data from another UI (this would be running in the tall grass for me, but I'll certainly try anything)?

For any solution, links to video or written narrative / instructions would be great, but even tips in the right direction or things that have worked on other phones could be helpful.

Thanks!

HTC Evo 4G LTE: How to recover internal memory from a completely dead phone.

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:08:48 -0700

One day while charging my phone, my EVO LTE turned off and never turned back on. I replaced the battery but still no charge. I figured that the problem might be in the motherboard.

My question is , is it at all possible to remove the internal memory itself and replace it on my new phone to recover the lost data?

HTC Evo 4G LTE: Can I fix my speaker, headphone jack, and camera on my own?

Mon, 04 May 2015 21:31:58 -0700

The other day I dropped my phone and it rolled under the railing on a third floor balcony and fell to the first floor. The screen is fine, but now my camera and flash don't work, when I call, sometimes no sound comes through on either end, and any auxiliary plug I put in the port barely works half the time. Is there any way I could fix these issues on my own or with a service?

HTC Evo 4G LTE: My phone has power but the screen is out

Sun, 08 Jan 2017 10:43:58 -0700

I have a question if y'all are still on this feed. My phone has power but the screen is out. I have tried plugging it up to my computer and exacting my files, but there is no connection between the devices. I am probably gonna have to take it to the repair shop or the store I bought it, but I don't want to pay $100 if I don't have to. This are once in a life time photos of my trips in Japan. I really don't want to lose them.

HTC Evo 4G LTE: Will not complete power up.

Mon, 26 Sep 2016 12:02:19 -0700

OK, my phone was working great.....during the night the battery died.......Now that I've charged the battery the Start Up will not complete. It starts like everything is going good and then when it gets to the "HTC Quietly brilliant" screen it comes to a dead stop. I've tried turning it off and on several times to see if maybe I could jump start it with no results.......Is there anyone out there have any advise? I can understand what happened .......
