@leoingle: ???? :confused:

@albotz: I just tried deleting the HTC fb account. I readded it. It automagically started syncing ALL the contacts to the phone book. If you uncheck the sync contacts button, it just goes and resyncs them anyway.

If they aren't in your address book, try composing a message, and then you will see ALL your contacts, yours + the people with a phone number listed on fb, from the available contacts you can choose to send a text to.

@g00s3y: I'm not an idiot, I assure you its set to sync with existing, but after I try to manually sync a contact, it just syncs EVERYONE. I go back to check the app, and its mysteriously changed itself to "sync all contacts" :confused:
[Thunderbolt General] Paradox460:
Don't use Facebook for HTC then, use the Facebook app, which is available off market. The apps do virtually the same thing

Hi I just recently applied the nodo update through chevronwp7. A few days later (today), I tried to sync with zune and had an error and would not read the phone correctly, I cant remember the message.. So I shutdown the phone then turned it back on thinking it would resolve the issue. But instead the phone gets stuck at the white htc screen( the first screen that comes on after pressing the power on button).

I have flashed ansar's cingular rom successfully several times, Tried the Windows Phone Support Tool......No luck. Will not get past the white htc screen, the only way to turn the phone off is by pulling the battery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, bought the phone from ebay for my original at&t contract.....No Warranty that I know of. Sending it in for repair is not an option. Does anyone know of a possible fix? I am using Win7 x64.

Thanks, CheSley

It's borked, this has happened twice to me now. My devices were covered under warranty though. Sorry.

This also happened to me. However my phone was still locked.

I bought mine on Craigslist so technically I couldn't claim it under warrenty but I talked to a guy at an ATT store and he said call anyway because 50% of the time they are to lazy to check. I called, was sent to a device center down the street and had a brand new Surround within an hour.

I'd suggest trying a call to ATT you might get lucky.
[Surround General] Coockoo:
Fixed..:D

Hi there,

I also had this happen to me and unfortunetely I had one little red dot on the water sensor by the USB port so they wouldn't warrenty it for me.

Today i fixed the phone myself and it's up and running perfectly. With my issue i guess it was the SD card... Completely fried and unusable on anything. Once i put in a working SD card and rebooted the phone everything was running fine again.... It was a fresh start had nothing remembered except the stuff you purchased with your windows Live ID.

You do have to take apart the phone which could void your warrenty but this didn't matter any more in my case and i had nothing to lose..:cool:

Wasn't to hard at all..:)

Hopefully this helps someone else!
[Surround General] kdj67f:
Good call, I was thinking it was a storage failure, but as I said mine were covered under warranty so I never voided the stickers :D But, if you have nothing to lose grab a small torx bit (t-4 I believe) and try it out. Then report back here.
[Surround General] chesley96:
RE

Hi all and thanks for the quick responses. I actually just tore mine down a few minutes ago, pulled the sd card, re-flashed with original rom and it worked... :) luckily i have old 4gb card that might work. So far the phone says "installing apps" in the initial setup. hopefully it works... Thanks Everyone.
[Surround General] informago:
SD Card

I have the same problem, and no chance to claim the warranty cause I'm at Brazil.

I didn't understand what are you talking about the SD Card, this phone don't have SD Card. Did you disassemble the device?
[Surround General] ycode90:
Yes you'll have to disassemble the device to get to the card. From what I've read it's not that hard to do. Good luck.
[Surround General] oOLaStBrEaThOo7:
Yeah I had that same thing happen to my Surround but luckly I had warranty. I tried everything possible to fix it but nothing seemed to work.
[Surround General] Kuree:
This same thing happened to me... I think my phone is still covered under warranty, but I have a very bad tendency to lose my receipts... So hopefully I can go and get a copy from the at&t store and get it repaired or replaced...

[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Hey all, just got done testing the G-Slate out. 599$ with 2 yr contract. (Ouch!)

Now, while it IS bigger, resolution and handling with honeycomb is WOW. Wont lie there. There is one feature that is HORRIBLE!

I tested out the new 3d video recording ability. OUCH! It has 2 cameras to take pictures in 3d. However you do gotta wear the glasses. It uses the old Red-Blue Glasses trick for 3d. I will tell you this.. HORRIBLE. People look 3d. Items and backgrounds.. not really. Also the quality sucks. But now for the worst part. I watched the video 2 times.. It put a eye strain on me something bad.. to where I am still feeling it hours later. Like if it was a cross mix of queasy and where my eyes feel unadjusted. Never had this before using the re-blue glasses, so it has to be the way the tablet does it. Also there is no way youd even WANNA watch anything with the red/blue tints to be honest. Doesnt look good at all.

Also the 4G ant seems to suck... The whole time it was stuck in 2G mode while my DS7 was in 4G. So sounds like something is worse on this hardware.

Anyways, I feel still after seeing the slate. That my DS7 is still ftw. =) Passing on that info to you all.

[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I sold my xoom and decided to wait for the samsung.. its thinner and lighter than ipad 2 and out of all the tabs so far is the sexiest IMO. I know a lot of people dont like samsung but I think they hit the mark on this one. I mean all the other companies went ahead with their tablet designs after the ipad 2 came out. Samsung said.. umm no.. now ours isnt working.. too big, too expensive. So they went back and redesigned it. It's not MUCH thinner than ipad 2 or MUCH lighter but they did it just to beat ipad2 in that respect. The galaxy tab 2 would have been out by now if it hadnt been for the ipad 2. trust me.. I have major tablet itch and I'm holding out.. because I dont think I'll be disappointed.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Other thing. The Slate is bigger, yes, also resolution higher, but I dont think it makes it "better" reason being, the DS7 is perfect for thumb keyboarding, gaming and so. Has the right screen res and size for holding it like a handheld and not feel like a library book.

Sorry for the newb-ish question. I'm in a mad rush to build my FM app and would prefer not to have to research this issue for hours.

I have my FM app running on Blayo ROM, using btipsd_cli, and I think it should then work on the stock ROMs. AFAICT they also include btipsd_cli.

So I want to test on a stock ROM. Which one should I use ? I'm avoiding the RUU's because I don't want to have to mess with Windows etc.

So I'm looking at: OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_UK_3.14.161.1-2.05.161.1_R_P_release_135177_156984k4i146wit81sj23a.zip

But the embeded firmware.zip includes an HBoot and radio and recovery.

I don't want to lose my S-Off, or my CM recovery.

Can I do this ? What's the easiest/safest way ? Or any other stock ROM I should use ? Perhaps I should test with the oldest ROM and the newest ROM.

Thanks much !
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Sure m8. Just extract whichever img you want and flash it via fastboot. I'm not sure about system.img. Some guys reported that flashing system.img doesn't actually work. In that case put it on /sdcard, fire up CWM, format system partition, mount it and then inside adb shell unyaffs the image into /system dir.

EDIT: Ahh one more thing. You can't just install any OTA you want. What OTA does is binary patching of existing files. That said it means you have to have binaries that actually match to their patches but I guess you knew that before ;)

[Legend General] mikereidis:
Thanks BlaY0 !

No I didn't know about the patching of files. So that's what the *.p files are for... ;) Yuck, that's messy IMO.

I WOULD have known if I spent much time in this area but I haven't. A few months back I finally had my phone in a nice state and haven't looked back. It was VERY painful doing all that, and at least twice I messed up badly and had to restart. So I don't want to repeat that.

I haven't figured out how all the partitions/image files interact, so I won't go down that road at this time. I'm guessing it may not be possible to go back to stock temporarily and then revert to the other ROMs easily.

So for now I think I'll continue to use your ROM as a proxy for a stock ROM and hopefully my app will work as well on stock ROMs. BTW, I'm now running your new 8.4 and it's working very nicely thank you...
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Those .p files are standard bsdiff patches. At least they should be, but HTC once again made some internal changing to that so I was unable to manually apply those patches on my PC.

If you are S-OFF which I believe you are, all you have to care about are boot.img and system.img. 1st is image made of kernel + initrd and 2nd is basically yaffs2 image. 1st can be flashed with flash_image and 2nd can be unpacked with unyaffs (after you format system partition and mount it on /system via CWM). All needed tools are available in CWM recovery and they are also part of AOSP and are compiled separately each as its own bin. Flashing can also be done via fastboot, but I'm not sure about HTC's system.img as I'm not S-OFF. You should try that.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I Have noticed that when my device is showing 4 bars of 4g in the about phone section it shows the mobile network type as umts. With my nexus one and also with my Vibrant it would show up as hspa( which I believe is 3G) and also at times it would show up as hspa+(even though they obviously could not take advantage of the signal. With this phone which supposedly is 4g capable it is always showing umts. This does not like it is right. Is It the way that the this device software reads it? Does anyone have any insight on this or have experienced or experiencing the same situation?

Eventually google will flag your IMEI to receive the update. Theres no telling when you'll be receiving the update or if they're still actively pushing it out. If you don't want to wait then you could manually update by downloading the rom file from the xda thread and flashing it yourself. Otherwise, its the waiting game.

I dont believe Google would take so long for the OTA...it is not that everyone born in the world have 2-3 Nexus S each that it takes forever for the OTA to come through...I wonder if they have stopped the OTAs so go ahead and do it manually...

There would be a minor hiccup on how the screen looks after the update...I didnt have a major heartbreaking screen after updating.

Thanks tiamat 1.3.1+) are for sure up there, the 16:9 display makes my movies look great, my home screen is endlessly customizable (look at the screenshots in the thread under apps, most of those rock), and my xoom does everything any other tab can (or will in the near future) do.

He told me that he wanted to buy one for navigation maps google voice etc that he wanted for his business. He told me that he wanted an evo so he can tether it to the xoom. Boom show him my evo on cm7 he was shocked. He told me that he wants an evo for metro ( he knows about rooting flashing which I was like oh sweet) he then proceeded to telling me if I knew how to do it, I told him I have to look into it. After the evo stuff he started to play with the xoom again he was impressed on the tegra dual core by the time I was done he was sold on buying both the evo and xoom.

I flashed the non-OC version of Kyrillos` ROM because my phone freezed with the other..

Is there a method to overclock my phone or is it gonna freeze anyway?

[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
I could be wrong, but being a veteran overclocker of desktop CPU's, I know that some processors don't overclock as well as some else might, so one thing you could try is set a lower speed, like 1200mhz. Or start from 667 increasing 100 at a time and running a quadrant each time until It's not stable anymore (eg. freezes).
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
This has been floating around here too, together with the trying different frequencies (end users cant really try 100 at a time, since they dont change the kernel, only 667 833/866 1000 and 1.3ghz unless other values have been added that i am not aware of). I know I had problems with one OCed kernel (regardless of how much I OCed) but didnt have problems with another, so the OC method might have something to do with it (reverse engineering vs sources or stuff like that). It's usually not that easy (or well documented/something similar that my brain cant verbalize atm) to overclock a phone as it is to overclock a desktop.
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Yeah, I know It's nothing like overclocking a desktop CPU, but the bottom line is they're both processors and components that work the same way.

But if you set the same value for min and max your battery life will decrease drammatically....... min frequency is very important when the phone is idle.....
[Galaxy 3 General] psycut:
Overclocking got a bit mystic for me :D I tried the Apocalypse and Kyrillos ROMs with OC. Could not get a stable work from them. Tried changing the frequencies (min and max) and all sort of stuff, but nothing helped. TouchWiz was periodicaly freezing, on big apps like Angry Birds the phone would just hang up and I had to reboot.

Being tired of that, I flashed a stock ROM (being XWJPE for Ukraine), rooted it, and then flashed FuguMod Kernel 2.3. Works fine for me. No freezes, no hang ups, and I didn't have to mess with the frequencies. I suggested anyone who can not get a Custom OC ROM to work properly, to try doing it manualy on a clean stock ROM.

Good luck! ;)
