Help Phone display black after booting, the display works when booting

Back up anything important and try a factory reset.

If you have the option in recovery mode, try wiping the system cache (just the cache, not cache+data, not factory reset). That was removed from most phones a while ago, but I'm hoping that a phone I've never heard of might still have a useful legacy feature like that. There's a small chance that that might fix it, in which case you are spared a reset. But otherwise my best guess is that you've got some corrupt data somewhere that's messing up the display drivers, and I doubt I'd be able to track down precisely what (and if it's system data I might not be able to remove it anyway without root), in which case a reset will be needed.

The worst case is that the actual system software has been corrupted, in which case a reset won't help either (in that case either a reflash would be needed or, if the storage itself is damaged, there would be nothing you could do). But I think there's a good chance of a reset fixing it. From what you describe it's clearly a problem with the android system rather than the hardware, since the splash screen and boot animation work (which all come up before the Android system takes over).

Help Pedometer apps won't count steps while screen sleeps - will there be a fix for this?

I thought I would put one of the available pedometer apps on my Incredible, thinking it shouldn't be too hard to find one as handy as what my old Sony Walkman phone shipped with (it ran when the screen was off, tracking my whole week's walking). Needless to say, I am disappointed that HTC does not support this functionality, causing any installed pedometer apps to quit counting steps as soon as the phone sleeps. With the supercharged battery which I plan on buying, I wouldn't be sweating so much the power consumption, and it's really disappointing to be left without the choice to let programs of my choice run. Will there be a fix for this problem anytime soon? Anyone happen to know, of if there's something else I can do about it?

I'd suggest you to install a new pedometer app. There are many good alternative out there. But if you're unsure which one to get, this list may help:

Add feedback to my calls?

well i have the samsung buds pro and they have active noise cancelling and with a single tap i can turn it on or off. it has 4 different ambient modes which can allow natural sounds to come thru depending on which mode you are on. i never had any issues using it to make phone calls and be able to hear myself talk.

so i think that there is no setting that can perform what you want. it is all in the technology, so you may have to find headphones or ear buds that work they way you want.

Android allwinner tech

Hi, i have a tablet that I bought in China from allwinner tech A33 quad-core and it’s stuck on allwinner tech logo, anyone that know how fix it out there?

Could be the firmware has become corrupt, and needs to be re-flashed. And that would need to come from the tablet's manufacturer. If it's a cheapo no-name device, bought in China, you might be SOL.
