Buy a phone with gorilla glass. Problem solved.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] davidhooper4:
Actually, the myTouch 4G does in fact have a gorilla glass screen.

Gorilla Glass myTouch 4G
[myTouch 4G Accessories] camalus:
Gorilla glass may help... but it is by far the end all be all of safety. My 1 year old dropped my wifes phone on the kitchen floor. About 14" drop. Landed on the corner just right.... spider cracked all over.

Gorilla glass may help. But its still glass.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] mulletcutter:
dont drop it.

i have the amzer tpu case, andive droped mine twice...its just kinda bounced and landed...no damage.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] mulletcutter:
that list is wrong...mytouch slide, if you looked at the screen wrong it would crack. had mine shatter like 2wice.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Don_Perrignon:
Gorilla Glass or Chuck Norris Glass, nothing truly protects it from shattering. The cases mentioned above are the closet you can get. If its dropped unto something that's smaller than the cases, then obviously it might break. So, as people have said, be careful and buy a case.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tdtylert:
Don is right gorilla glass doesn't really help prevent shattering, gorilla glass is just suppose to be more scratch resistant than your average glass.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] sunsean:
I think it's just the luck of the fall, i.e. how it lands/hits. I've dropped my phone probably 10 times in the 4 months I've had it, and not a single crack. I don't use a case either, just best skins ever, and I swear I really do think it has helped protect the phone. It's true though, if it falls just the right (or wrong) way, it's gonna break, so who knows.

I really need someones help in finding a simple way to disable the camera or just change some setting to make it not work. PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks,

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mosbarzi:
I really don't know why would you want to do that but I have a hardware solution for you and it needs your HD2 to be disassembled partialy.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] salonluden:

According to your sig, you're still on Dutty's WM6.5. Why are you posting in the WP7 forum to ask this question aside from the obvious...just don't use the camera.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mrfyisms:
I used to work construction in the chemical plants where cameras were not allowed and phones were checked by security at the gate. Upgrade time--me "I need a phone with no camera" Radio Shack dude "uhh...uhhh...uhhh...Idunno..." So I carry my antique cameraless phone on my belt to show security and stuff my new one deep down in my pocket. What am I gonna do, sell pictures of pipes and tanks to the Russians?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] salonluden:
Ok, the duttys rom thing i'll get rid of now - I'm using WP7 (thats why i posted here). I was hoping to get more of a software answer than hardware btw.

And mrfyisms was close. Where I work I cant use a camera phone but I really need my HD2 (its my life!!!! :D)

so again... any answers? :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Rowdy.nl:
Seems easy. Disassamble the cover of your phone and stick some tape on the inside of the lens. There are just 4 screws underneath your battery cover.

You can always reverse this process... :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
well, we dont have a camera button as such, so its not easy to see except for the rather obvious camera lens!

Theres no easy way of showing them that your camera with a physical lens isnt working, you could make sure there is no tile with the camera icon on it but any company worth a damn would realise that anything you could do to you phone in a software sense could be reversed very easily.

If i was your security guy i wouldnt allow it if that was the rules and if your chap would let it go through with a simple software mod then can you PM me your company and his job description i would feel the need for a wee phone call and a career change :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] salonluden:
Preferably I would love to have just a software mod that deletes the camera app from wp7... is that at all possible?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lokiderelb:
Dumbest request ever. sorry that i have to say it and i realy dont wanna be offencive but its stupid.

if you work in such a company where cameras arent allowed , a software mod which removes camera app wouldnt make it legal in your company. there could be another app with camera funktions too. also to remove camera hardware is stupid cause it just would destroy your device.

if you know that camera smartphones arent allowed dont buy one or buy another to use it at work. there are many of them out there. if i would work there i would buy a normal phone for work.

another work around would be to quit the job.

sorry that i have such emotions in that question but i work in a it department of such a company where cameras arent allowed. and people like this guy are going on our nerves every day. some try to make a sticker on there camera and think its done with that.

ITS NOT ALLOWED GET OVER IT. we dont care if you have the cam app removed or the hardware is broken.

it

is

not

allowed!!!!! now get out of my room and **** you.

Sorry and have a nice day.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] salonluden:
Wow your a pain... I cant really say where I work but basically because the iphone 4 is so popular they came out with a rule saying that if you just delete the software it counts... I guess they expect us no to be TOO tech savy.

i want a stable / low battery hogging ROM... 2.3 preferred (although 2.2 will also do) which can support custom kernels

i see some undervolted and overclocked kernels available... excited to try them out...

any suggestions on these?

thank you all for ur help!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
Sdcard wipe is necessary only if using an ext partition. Some ROMs need it, some not.

There are 0 kernels with undervolting.

You should test a Froyo ROM and then a Gingerbread one to see the differences.

Good luck !
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marioemp2k7:
Agreed with badeaioan.

You should try a custom Froyo based ROM before anything else and that's because once you get to a GB ROM you will not want to go back.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enserio:
Hello good people,

I posted a few months ago about rooting my gf's fascinate using a mac and finally got it done. It was very easy, but now I'm a bit lost on what rom to flash, being that I'm a G2 guy and things tend to be simpler there.

Keep in mind: I would prefer to put it on the sdcard and flash via CWM. She is on EA28 and I'm not 100% positive as to whther DL09 or DJ05 will work with hers.

Lastly, I would prefer two roms to try at this time. A stock based de-binged rom, and a slick looking, froyo hybrid that is stable enough to have sms working. She is a texting monster, so sms has to work.

This forum has a lot of nice and knowledgeable members, so I look forward to the responses.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandis710:
I download the odin files containing gri54 european version .. When I extract the tar files I get .img files .. My thought was that could use those files with fastboot to restore to stock without using odin .. Is this true? And what are the .img files for ?

I have

boot.img (is this the kernel ?)

recovery.img ( stock recovery ?)

system.img

userdata.img

bootloader.img

dgs.img

Does anybody know where are those files can be used for and suppose I want to go back to stock ..Which files do i have to use with fastboot ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Looks like fastboot images to me.

Boot is ramdisk & kernel, recovery will indeed be the stock one. Just try it, if they're not right they won't flash.

Not sure what the DGS one is though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdaly985:
Bingo

Yeah, you put them images in your android tools directory, and they can be used via fastboot to revive your *almost* dead phone. You do not need the DGS.img one though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandis710:
As far as I know the dgs is what the csc is for the galxay s .. It contains configuration for the networkoperators .. but I could be wrong ..

So suppose I flashed a custom kernel and I do not like it anymore if I do fastboot flash boot.img from the stock gri54 I will have stock kernel again ?

Kinda, it will replace the kernel, but not any libs that may have come with it.

Hi

On Thursday I received a new battery in the post (my current battery life was abysmal) anyway i changed the battery to charge the new one. After starting the phone i had to select a new language etc. and found that a huge number of my apps were giving the a force close errors. I decided to factory reset my phone, re-downloaded the apps and found the problem resolved.

However earlier today i switched batteries again (wasn't sure that was the cause last time) and it has happened again. Any Suggestions on what is causing it and how to avoid it in the future (other than simply not replacing the battery) or how to rectify it.

If you have to select a new language, it probably means your phone's internal battery has died. Try taking out the battery for 5 minutes, and see if the clock is still accurate.

I live in lake charles, LA. If u look on clears website u will see that 4g is not officially released but my area its light green. We do have 4g as I do use it. I get connection speeds between 5mbs to 10mbs. The speed varies allot I'm not sure y but I usually have about 2 bars at my location. But my question is from the point it is released unofficially (test phase) to the point it is fully expanded to the area and official. How long does that take. Reason I ask is because we have had 4g going on 3 months but its only about a 2-3 mile radius and once complete on average how big of a radius will it cover?

I just started having this issue, i can't connect to any data at all, i have tried battery pulls, using restart connection, running different roms, using restores where everything was working, doing a full wipe and then installing a new rom, but still no luck. Should i try just a factory restore? i also read that taking out the battery, then take out the sim card, booting the phone up with out the sim card in, getting errors and then shut it off and then put the sim card back in works, but im not sure which of those to try, any advice?
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
when that happened to me i did a factory reset and it worked afterward
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Check around first, see if Verizon is having problems in your area. I know recently places have been popping up with sporadic outages.
[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
But isn't installing a rom and wiping the data and cache the same as a factory restore?
[Thunderbolt General] SmokingPope:
I had this happen to me earlier this week. When I called Verizon support they told me that towers were down in my area, they told me the same when I called back the next day. Meanwhile, others who own the TB seemed to be having no issues. Finally I took my phone into a Verizon store and they are shipping me a replacement phone. They would not swap my phone in the store since I was a whopping 4 days beyond the 14 day return window...but, I digress.

The one workaround that I found in the meantime is to switch your modem settings. Dial ##778, select Edit Mode, enter 000000 as the password and select Modem Settings. Select Rev. A and choose Enable. Press your menu button and select Commit Changes. Your phone will reboot and you can use the LTE On/Off App (or just dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose Phone information) and switch the radio to CDMA Auto (PRL). That enabled me to have 3G data, though it seems extremely slow relative to 3G on my OG Droid. But, in a pinch it seems to work.
[Thunderbolt General] SmokingPope:
One additional bit of advice, in case you are running a custom ROM. I was running Virus ROM and ##778 would crash whenever I tried to run it. In order to swap the modem settings, I had to flash back to stock and make the updates, then flash back to Virus. I don't know if this is specific to Virus, but just an FYI.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Just tried on das bamf and worked fine (##778) must just be virus.
[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
Thanks, that got my 3G working, will i still have 4G with it on that setting? or do i need to switch it back to use 4G or do i get the Lte on/off app?
[Thunderbolt General] MONKY_1:
*#*#4636#*#* and tap on phone information and go to the box that says "CDMA+LTE" THATS default 3g and 4g and for only. 3g is auto prl
[Thunderbolt General] SmokingPope:
You won't get 4G on that setting, it turns the 4G radio off entirely. You would need to switch back to the CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto or LTE mode settings to get 4G. Ultimately, my issue ended up being a defective phone. You can try to wait it out and see if you get 4G back later, but you may just have a faulty device.

If that is the case, just remember to follow the instructions that jcase posted in the development forum to get your phone back to stock with s-on before taking it into a Verizon store. If you bring a rooted device in, I suspect they aren't going to honor any sort of warranty.
[Thunderbolt General] evilkokonut:
My phone had this problem too... turns out when I went into a 4g area the mobile network box got unchecked in the wireless & network settings.
[Thunderbolt General] r0guenj:
I use the "verify with multiple devices method". I am tired of the standard VZW "towers are down in your area" bs answer.

If another tb, xoom, and bb have service and my tb doesn't, that tells me something is wrong.

I have a feeling that there is something seriously wrong with the network (implementation or backend hardware) that is causing this with 4G devices. Either that or the tb is to blame entirely for Verizon's 4G issues...... /rantoff..... LOL

Was having issues earlier today with 4G. The connection and signal were good, but no data would download. The white up arrow would light up, but the down arrow never would.
