[HTC Incredible S] eternalhate:
Hi, this is my first post. I am a regular reader, and recently bought the Incredible S.

I was out to watch a concert (open air) today, and it started pouring. I quickly switched off the phone.

I got back home, and restarted, but had some issues. There is this thin de-coloration at the bottom of the screen (as if water has seeped in), the four touch-buttons (home,menu etc) below the screen constantly flicker. The entire screen is flickering a little, and appears slightly dim.

I haven't tried calling, or using any other feature. At the moment, I have pulled the battery, sdcard and sim out, and kept the phone in a rice bowl.

So, the questions are:

(1) I am planning to restart the phone after 24 hrs. Is that fine?

(2) The damage - is it permanent, or have others with similar damages experienced reversing.

(3) Where is the water damage mark on the inc-s. (the one that is supposed to go from white to red)

Thanks a lot in advance :)
[HTC Incredible S] nameit:
Dont swich on the phone!!!.

immediately remove the battery.

Place it on warm spot and wait at least 1 week. (not to hot).

Or..

If you have a ultrasonic cleaning bath, put it in there for 10 min, blow it dry with compressed air and then wait a week.

Good luck.

[HTC Incredible S] eternalhate:
Well, I kept the phone in a rice box for two days, and now it works as new :)

For prevention, I now a carry a small plastic pouch in my wallet. If caught in rain, I plan to slip the phone in the pouch.

I still couldn't locate the water damage indicator/sticker though.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
:) the rice trick really works.

lol

good for u cos switching the phone on after contact with water could be the easiest way to fry it
[HTC Incredible S] xilw3r:
lucky ol' chap you are sir !

especially considering the frying.

Hi, guys! I am using FroyobyLaszlo 5.2 with my G1. Now, I want to know how to change the provider's name on the lock screen and notification bar. For example , my provider's name is "CMCC", but i want to change it to Chinese. Can anyone give me some advices?

Thanks in advance!:)

PS:

I have read lots of threads about changing the provider's name, but all of them could not work for FroyobyLaszlo.:(
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
When I do #*#*info*#*# I see my phone is set to WCDMA preferred. Is this the best choice ?, I live in an area where my phone spends a lot of time with only gprs coverage and data transfer in gprs mode seems to be very flaky, works sometimes but often nothing comes through ?
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Preferred is the best choice if your area doesn't have strong 3g/4g signal. Where I live I have strong 3g/4g signal so I set my phone to WCDMA only.

Only downside is when you hit a dead area with a weak signal you lose all connection because the phone is set to work on 3g/4g only. Can't make a call or surf the web.

If you don't want your phone switching to gprs set your phone to WCDMA only.
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
Thanks.

What about GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I seem to recall from my HTC Hero days that people were recommending to set to that, but can't remember the reason (might have been a battery reason)
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
I never tested it out but supposedly preferred option favors 3g/4g and the auto option favors edge. Auto option saves battery because its looking for a weaker signal. There is a link below that talks about the option on the Nexus One in more detail.

Hey thanks for the info and link, I'm going to give auto prl a go, cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bags2900:
Is there anyway to turn on usb debugging on a bricked lg optimus t ???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlackRainX:
Found that on one forum :)

-> My Optimus T did the same thing when I was trying to do the official update from LG. This is what worked for me. Disconnect usb cable from phone. Pull battery. Restart computer. after computer reboots, leave battery out of phone and plug usb cable back in. Let windows install drivers. After drivers are installed, go into device manager and disable android modem. will not update if modem is enabled. It will say you have to reboot pc for changes to take effect, click no. log off pc and log back in, do not reboot. after you log back in you can get the software updater from LG and it will reflash your phone. Worked for me anyways. I thought my phone was bricked, but this saved me.

[Omnia 7 General] s7yler:
Hi

I have recorded some video clips on my Omnia 7, today I then wanted to send them to my PC in Zune, but somehow it dont work :confused: When I try I can see it is working 1%-100% but when finished theres no video saved on my PCs harddisk.

In Zune theres a ! sign with some errors saying error code: C00D11E4

Is there any solution for this error? Anyone else having this problem or am I the only one? I am running the latest Zune software and have 7008 firmware on the phone.

Its pretty annoying that I cant transfer my videos to my PC :(
[Omnia 7 General] s7yler:
??

I tried now to install Zune on two different desktop PCs both with Windows 7, both gives me the error C00D11E4 (800C000E) when I want to transfer my recorded videos from the phone to the pc.

Then I tried to install Zune on a latop running Windows XP. And it worked the first time!!! :confused:

There must be some kind of error with Zune and Windows 7? or was I only lucky that it works on the Windows XP laptop?
[Omnia 7 General] DMAND:
I have the same issue with HD video (720p) normal videos (VGA) sync fine, also have the same fix i.e works on xp laptop (although video doesnt play on laptop) but I can tranfer it to my desktop
[Omnia 7 General] 1plus19:
so does zune work on windows XP or you got lucky?
[Omnia 7 General] s7yler:
Zune works fine in XP
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
Got a new MT4G from TMO (ordered as an upgrade over the phone)

It's made in China and is a panel type 1.

It seems washed out at an angle, but direct on it's normal. Videos though seem a little too bright and washed.

Is there a way to test if I have a bad screen, or are all type 1 panels considered bad?

Just don't wanna return if it's just in my head.

I tried to go to a TMO store to compare, but they didn't have any floor models, and I couldn't exchange it in the store, cause I guess they don't warranty the Mytouch in store any more. Has to be done through customer care.
[myTouch 4G General] ELBdelorean:
If it seems washed out at an angle, it's probably the bad screen.

Sent from my DeLorean using a Flux Capacitor
[myTouch 4G General] rockstarar:
That is a bad screen.
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
Okay, thanks for the opinions.

Does anyone know if I can tell TMO about the screen, or do I have to make up a reason I'm returning it?

I heard they don't cover it if you say it's just washed out, but haven't heard a confirmation on that.
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
Fancy seeing you here. You're going to have to make something up because it specifically states in the policy to not do a warranty exchange for phone with T-mobile.
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
"it specifically states in the policy to not do a warranty exchange for phone with T-mobile"

What?
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
Went into a different store just now and compared it to a good one. This is another confirmed panel type 1 = bad.

Difference was very obvious.
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
Yes, if you call T-mobile and they look it up then it states not to do an exchange because of the screen issue. I wasn't able to get mine exchanged either.
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
So did you call back and say it was something else?

Im in my 14 day remorse period, so I am getting a new phone in a retail box. if it was a warranty exchange, I'd prob get a refurb.
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
No, I try not to use the system even if it's not fair. I called up HTC and they said the same thing, but others have been able to get HTC to fix them and HTC did put out a reply that it's a glass coating, not the LCD. That would make sense on the viewing angle.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
Was there a bunch of posts that got removed or something?....

Edit: yes, yes there was. Hopefully the mods were the ones doing the cleaning. That stuff was incredibly disturbing.
[myTouch 4G General] RussianSpring:
Hiroshima was incredibly disturbing. This was funny.

And of course the mod's deleted it. Who else would?
[Desire HD General] daves125125:
On AC power it can take anywhere up to 8 hours to fully charge from empty and thats with no use at all, it actually loses charge if i play just a low intensity game or browse the web.

Im currently running CM7 and have flashed different ROMs / kernels and Radios to try and get a difference but without any luck.

Ive only noticed the problem within the last month and the battery seems to last a fair while and can make up to 2 days easily with little use, so i dont think theres any serious leak occurring, but having regularly flashed new ROMs i cant say exactly the point when it started happening.

Im thinking that perhaps the battery or the cable may have become faulty but is there any way to test if this is the case?

Im hoping for a software fix but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Install current widget from the market, attach to a screen and let us know the reading from an AC adapter.

Hopefully you'll be able to identify if your charger isn't working correctly.
[Desire HD General] daves125125:
Ok so i left it on charge overnight and logged the current widget values and saw that on AC charge the readings started at around 119mA and by the morning the charging had slowly decreased to about 70mA. There are also a few periods where there is a charge loss of around -30mA for a few minutes before returning to a constantly decreasing charge.
[Desire HD General] daves125125:
Also, before doing this i drained the battery and wiped the battery stats, not sure if this may have any effect on the current widget results / charge time.
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
i think u need to call ur provider and ask for a battery replacement explain why u need it... they will send u a new battery and then check if the problem persists if so then it mite be problem with ur cable or the adapter
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Exactly that, I get around 800mA on AC. There is a fault somewhere.
[Desire HD General] PeterDer:
I had the same problem awhile ago. Turned out to be my charger that stopped working.

But that was an old Samsung charger so I just started using the HTC charger that came with the phone instead :)

Try another charger first and see if it's better. Or ju try to plug it in the computer and see if it charges then.
[Desire HD General] daves125125:
Problem solved, turned out to be a cheap cable bought from ebay that caused the issues. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EMoney24:
i have been rooted for about a day now with a custom rom. i was wondering will i get OTA update for the custom rom or is there a app where i can manually check for the custom rom update. How does the updates work on custom roms. i know when i got the phone i notice in setting you can go to at&t software update and it checks for you.

Thx
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
I believe Clockwork has some ability to show the latest builds of certain roms but it requires you to launch it up and check manually. Alternatively, CyanogenMod has a notification feature that you can enable.

The easiest way is to just bookmark the forum thread of the mod you're using and check it periodically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
The at&t software update won't work for custom roms. In fact, I think most dev's disable that feature in their rom cause installing an AT&T ota update over your current setup might screw up the phone.

ROM Manager has a feature that will let you check for ota updates on your favorite custom rom...but thats only if the develepor is using that feature or even aware of it.

Mostly it's just bookmarking or subscribing to your favorite rom threads and check for updates manually.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Yes just use ROM manager, new updates appear there and lets you flash OTA just like an official update when its available.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
If the Rom dev has it set up Rom manager will notify you as well. I remember last year I during thanksgiving dinner I had to excuse myself for a few minutes so I could see what goodies myn had been working on for another device I had. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Ill keep this short. There has been a lot of talk lately about tmo lying about the AT&T bands however I am here to prove that our phones are setup and enabled for AT&T . The option to enable is hidden. See below for proof.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Suwheeeet! Thanks for posting this flak0:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deliximus:
not so sweet. this is the fifth time this hidden menu method has been brought up in this forum. The rest are in the original thread regarding the lack of non AWS band support. THIS DOES NOT WORK. At least for now, until someone awesome makes it work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vitaminxero:
People have been bringing this up over and over again.

Prove it by popping in an AT&T SIM in an unlocked G2x. If it does not work, then there is a lot more to it than a band selection window.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
My question is has anyone sim unlocked their g2x and attempted this ? Also *#*#4636#*#* should do the same under phone info
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krabman:
Yes, a number of people have tried it and no go. The belief is that the bands are there but the radios may not even be able to see them or they are simply locked down and can be enabled. I have run into both those scenarios in the past. Whether the lock down comes from AT&T or from T-mo is unknown to my knowledge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jumpie:
After more poking around the Hidden Menu, WCDMA doesn't seem to be supported for AT&T. Thoughts?

I'm unlocked and on AT&T now but only on 2G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RMGeren:
Guys, this is easy...

THE RADIO DOES NOT SUPPORT UMTS 850/1900 RIGHT NOW!

I can think of several examples (Atrix, Captivate, Inspire "4g") of phones that operate / are supposed to operate at certain speeds or frequencies. They can say on the box that it supports these bands because the hardware is capable of it... we just need the right radio / baseband image.

EG: My captivate gets about ~2mbps down / 1.5 up because I have a different radio image. I think it's the same thing we're looking at here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jumpie:
Totally understand this. But, the question is: is it possible with an update? That's the point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
Yeah, an update to the radio that unlocks those bands, that's if one is released.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Off topic, but how are you getting Linpack 49Mflops on the G2x ? I'm getting around 35 each time I run it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] death1246:
the software displays the base bands but the radio does not receive the frequencies.

End of line.

My T-Mobile Nexus displayed that info so did my G2 and Vibrant 4G but the Frequencies are different and the radio will not get them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cmstlist:
+1

My LG Optimus One from Telus has an identical band selection menu

which includes bands that the phone does not support

. The screenshot proves nothing. Could a moderator just close this thread before anyone else gets their hopes up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Question does it have anything to do with correct apn settings?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] death1246:
No.

Its just the menu that I'd there.

If the hardware doesn't support it it won't work.

You don't play golf with a hokey stick even though it looks like you can.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deliximus:
i find it amazing that none of the major sites have talked about this despite heavily promoting about its quad 4g-ness in many reviews. It is very irrresponsible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
Looking through the LG-P999 (optimus 2x/ g2x) service manual, which you can find it yourself on the interwebz:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paleozord:
I have observed this on at least two different devices (Samsung Omnia 2, HP Glisten) running WinMo 6.5, so it doesn't seem to be a device specific issue.

If I have an email account set to check automatically at a certain interval, say every 10 minutes, each time that interval arrives, the messaging application opens itself and comes to foreground as the active application. This happens whether I am currently using the device to do something else (like surf the web etc) or whether the device is left in sleep/standby mode with the screen completely off. The next time I wake the device up, assuming that email check interval as elapsed, I will find the messaging app open as the currently active one.

It doesn't happen if messaging is already open and in the background, but if it's completely closed it will always open and bring itself to the foreground, before proceeding to check for email. None of my older WinMo 6.1 devices ever did this, and were capable of checking email silently without opening the messaging app. The today screen plugin would always update to indicate new messages, but the app didn't physically open each and every time.

Is there any known fix for this? Note that both devices demonstrating this behaviour are running WM 6.5, rather than 6.5.3 and both are using unmodified regular stock roms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paleozord:
All the rom-cooking, registry-tweaking, device-hacking wizards in the realm and not a one has any insight into this irritating bug? It did not exist under WinMo 6.1 and does not seem present in 6.5.3 either, but is definitely common across WM 6.5 devices.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
Hi all,

I just tried to install clockwork mod by flashing a kernel using odin something I have done dozens of times on my SGS. I was using a kernel file called CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar which as I have said I have used many many times.

Only this time I end up with a phone stuck after boot and apparently force closing in the back ground (the single vibrate followed by the double)

So I am able to 3 button recover it and use darkyy's ressurection rom to bring it back to life.

However I would still like to put this back to a stock rom with CWM and then the voodoo lagfix and sound kernel. Especially since this isnt my phone and the ressurection rom has several bugs.

But everytime I flash a CWM solution it does not work any idea? I end up with either 2e or 3e recovery? it is very strange.

Anyone have any ideas?

Oh and I even tried installing CWM using rom manager and that failed?
