[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I was in the "should've waited two more months to use my upgrade" situation, myself, with the captivate->inspire, so I understand your concern.

However, spending an upgrade on an inspire is a lot less likely to give you "used my upgrade remorse" than if you had done it with a captivate, only to have the inspire come out a couple months later.

This is a solid phone that will make you wonder how you managed to get it for that low of a price. ;)

And that's coming from someone who paid full, Off-contract price, even.

Inevitably, though, a new phone will come out. You may want to consider, as mentioned, grabbing one Off-contract, and save your upgrade for when the new phone does come out.

(By the time that happens, I'll personally be up for another upgrade, and I know I will be much more discriminating in how I choose to spend it, this time around.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Hmmm, Thanks guys. I just looked at ebay and I can get 200 - 250 for my 3g unlocked. It broke 2 months ago and Apple gave me new one so this one is in perfect shape. Looks like I can get an inspire out of contract for 300-350 bones. That might just be the best solution for me.

Maybe i should go in and try it out for 25 days or so and ensure I like it. I need it to mostly stream Sirius XM at work. But as my 3g does that I am sure this will have no issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
I was without a contract for a good long while, so I replaced my Tilt with an Inspire. Now that there is a model of the Evo with a REAL keyboard, I'm starting to wish I had waited longer, for the possibility of an Inspire with a REAL keyboard.

I get REALLY REALLY tired of having to retype everything 2-3 times on the fake keyboard phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I am happy with the on screen keyboards. But I don't use my phone for texting. Sometimes I'll reply to the wife. Most times I don't even do that. Lol

I need/want Siruis XM and a Book reader. Truthfully I could prolly just stay on my 3g. Its slow, but both of those things work perfectly. Stanza Reader is amazing.......I would just like a new shiney. :D

I had a tilt, I loved it, flashed a rom every other day and then made my own. Which is another reason I am looking at this phone. I was completely addicted to customizing when I could.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Product F(RED):
I have an Evo and the Inspire is basically an Evo with better specs, so yes definitely take the Inspire. DO NOT TAKE THE ATRIX. You can't do much with it in terms of rooting, etc. The whole phone screams GIMMICK. Either get the Inspire, or:

1. Get iPhone 4

2. Sell iPhone 4 for $400-$500

3. Get Inspire 4G

4. ???

5. PROFIT!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Ha, that buying reselling thing aint my bag.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Go for the inspire. I compare it with my mom iphone and my phone KILLS it. Once it gets the speed it deserves you wrong be disappointed
[HTC Inspire 4G] silvaizlegiit:
Get inspire 4g after what people say on this forum they will have an atrix and go back to inspire...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phoenixtx:
Thanks for the feedback! I'm in the same situation (have a 3GS and currently out of contract). Actually had a Captivate for a week when they first released and took it back due to all the issues. I think I'll actually grab the Inspire now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Yeah thanks peeps. I have been inspired to leave apple. I'll try it for 25 days and if I like I will keep. :D

Hard not to just get the iphone4 for 99 bux tho.......
[HTC Inspire 4G] sraitter:
I work for an AT&T Dealer ... I strongly discourage you from buying anything refurb from AT&T/Apple.

You will do much better scouring your local craigslist for a gently used iPhone 4 and buying a $2.00 microSIM adapter off amazon then doing your upgrade to the inspire and enjoying the freedom to come and go as you please from the confines of the apple OS.

I might also suggest you research the Samsung Captivate. Lots of outlets have it on clearance right now for as little as $.01. You will find much more customization options for it and better battery life.

Then again, love my Inspire ... thats why I have two phones, one for work and one for play.

Good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Not sure I feel ya on that referb stuff man. I bought my current Iphone from ATT referbished they replaced it a year and 7 months after when I dropped it and broke it... For free. Not underwarranty, had no insurance...They just hooked me up.

A phone is nothing but a toy for me. Spending money on a used Iphone and then also on an inspire is out. That is just to much money on somethin I use to read books and listen to stern at work on. I think getting the inspire and still having my 3g will be plenty. :) If after 25 days I still use my 3g more, well, then I'll take the inspire back and get the iphone 4. ../Shrug.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
Hello all.

*I have conducted searches and couldn't find much on the subjects, or have found irrelevant information.*

I'm relatively new the modding the SGSi9000 and have just as of recently upgraded to the leaked 2.3.3 and installed Darky's ROM v10 RC4 with CWM3.

I have been trying to install themes for my phone by downloading the themes .zip and putting the phone into recovery mode and installing the said .zip, however the phone ALWAYS goes into a bootloop and won't get out of it unless I reinstall Darky's ROM v10 RC4.

- Is there a way I can make a backup of Darky's Rom and just reinstall that using CWM so I don't have to reinstall everything from scratch using ODIN? If this is possible, will it get me out of the bootloop caused by the failed installation of a theme? It's a fairly tedious process.

- If not, is there a way to get out of the bootloop after the failed installation of a theme and revert back to the way just before I tried to install a theme?

I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong (I must be) and if there was an up-to-date guide on how to install themes correctly? The themes I'm talking about are the ones as follows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000049

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022956

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042516

- I was also wondering as how to how I could change the animated Samsung Galaxy S logo and the sound it makes just after boot. I've read that you can't change the writing of the static Samsung Galaxy S so that doesn't bother me. If there was an up-to-date guide on this I'd also be happy.

Fware: 2.3.3

Baseband: i9000XXJVK

Build: Darky's v10.0 RC4.

If you need anymore information then please do ask. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
I honestly don't think I know anywhere near enough to customise my own ROM... I already have a boot animation from some themes thread that I'd like to use, was just wondering how to get that on there instead of the animated SGS logo.

Also, have you got an answer to my question in relation to the bootloop and making a backup?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
If you made a backup from recovery before flashing the theme, then hold the power button down during the bootloop until the phone switches off. As soon as the screen goes dark, hold the three buttons as normal to go into recovery. If you can't turn the power off with the button, then pull the battery, replace it and go into recovery mode as normal.

From recovery, just restore your backup as normal.

Tried on WB rom and scramble rom both the same.

Anyone noe what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Is this for ringtones or music for lesure or are both not working?

If its ringtones, the scamble ROM need a third party app i believe to do the ringtones. That what i did.

For music, that could be a music file protected issue. I solved that issue with transfering all music from laptop to amazons cloud and getting the amazon music app on my phone. I hope i answered your question currectly.

Ok now that we got Root on Arc thanks to our devs (Bin4ry...) it's time to move to the next step...recovery!

All the devs who want to discuss, brainstorm, work on and edit recovery for Arc are all invited here.

I don't consider myself a dev so I will let you begin...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Can you check which

/dev/input/eventX [X is a number]

is the Keys under the display?

On X10 it's

/dev/input/event2

f.e.:

You can try it with:

cat /dev/input/event2

now press the keys, do you see some output? If not just try the next one. Until you find the right one for the keys.

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chriscpritchard:
On mine (unbranded, unlocked, UK version) it's /dev/input/event1
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Okay,

Flashtool is already prepared for this case!

So we can try it directly. Download latest!!!!! Flashtool (version 2.9.1) and download the chargemon.zip from my attachment.

Flashtool link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Unzip the file and copy it into flashtool folder:

Flashtool/custom/xRecvery/

overwrite the original chargemon file!

Now open flashtool and and click "Ask Root Permissions", if that had worked you will see that the "xRecovery" Button on the right side gets activated.

Push it now! :)

When flashtool says -> Recovery installed.

You can reboot the device -> Now push the back button on the device during the booting process. If all works you will be in Recovery :)

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chriscpritchard:
Flashed the recovery, but it doesn't appear to be loading (tried rebooting while holding the back button, and 'adb reboot recovery')
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
adb reboot recovery won't work!

try opening flashtool ->Advanced -> Recovery -> Reboot in recovery.

Does this work?

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chriscpritchard:
Nope, didn't work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
ok, thanks for testing.

Can you check if the files are there correctly ?

use adb shell and type:

cat /system/bin/chargemon

do you get a readable text or some weird signs?

Doesn't appear to be at the moment stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen when I choose reboot into recovery but it boots normally when I adb reboot it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] originlabs:
Powered off, then booted with back button held town, just bootloops :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
well this is quite good!

It seems the phone tries to start the recovery but for some reason it won't start!

It's designed the way that on next reboot it have to reboot normal, so no need to worry about this behaviour, it should be stick on the logo aswell if you push the key during boot now!

Let me think about this tomorrow, i have to think if the problem is the compiled file or the script! If it's the file we will have to wait for Z, he has the sources on the recovery and i'm just too lazy to reconstruct them for the ARC :P

But you can check if all files are in right place with right permissions and IF they are really the files ?

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
But if you DONT press a button it boots okay or not ?

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] originlabs:
Yes, booting with no keys is fine.

Does the recovery mount and filesystems, and if so, does it write a log file?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Just look in the chargemon and extract the tar.bz2 to see how it works.

I think that the init from recovery (the recovery itself) is not working because of incompatible compilation.

So it cannot write anything into logs!

But it's good that the script itself is still working, we can create a working recovery now from this base :)

I go and get some sleep now! cu
