[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jianC:
I love the fluidity of the OS, but sometimes it is so simple and clean that it become annoying (Coming from Android NAND). I would still prefer android but you really can't beat WP7 on the HD2 since it has 720p recording. The HTC Hub application is pretty nice too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unnddd:
Hello. Does anybody who's purchased the phone on PAYG from O2 remember if you need to register it with your name or something? I was just wondering because I'm under 18, and I don't know whether they'd let me buy the S2 if I went in with my parents' credit card...

Am I likely to encounter any issues?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
TBH you are more likely to have the issue using someone else's card... Any store will ask for identity details when buying any phone (AFAIK), but whether or not they will let you do it is besides the point...

If you look old enough, and happened to have the same name as on the card, then perhaps it wouldn't be an issue? Obviously remember that to use their card is technically against the card issuer's Ts & Cs, so you shouldn't be doing that ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unnddd:
I would buy it with my own card, but Paypal is taking ages to process the money from my iPhone 4 sale. :rolleyes:

It was actually my parents who suggested that I should use their card, because I don't think they can be bothered to go along with me...

I don't think I'd be able to pull off the 'older than eighteen' trick either, because I'd be in school uniform. I guess I'm going to have to convince someone else to buy it for me. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
hmmmm... Might be tricky then... I don't know how strict they will be, but I never accept credit card transactions from people who are evidently at school, as it's technically illegal for them to be using it, and if the parents were unaware of it, it could end up getting charged back (if they feigned ignorance and denied the child had it etc)

Not worth the risk from a merchant's POV, but it is a bit chain so it will just be company policy... If you're lucky they wouldn't look at the card at all and might not notice it was a Mastercard/whatever type of credit card, but usually it will tell them on their screen what type of card is in use...

Hope you get it sorted though :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dtraini7:
I have a Droid Incredible and I am currently running CyanogenMod-7.0.2.1-Inc. I have tried to install roms from rom manager and also some roms from the sd card and i have been having issues. When I install a rom, the back up works fine, the installation looks like it worked perfectly too, and then when it reboots, it hangs at the HTC Droid Incredible spash screen. I am having problems with every rom I have tried. Please, can someone help me out! Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ladclothing:
I get this problem sometimes not often, but what you have to do is take out your battery for a few seconds then go into fastboot and reboot from there.(ounce you've already flashed the new rom and are stuck)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebc100:
Hello All,

I have a small problem. I used the "force update" on my 7 Pro to get the nodo update. Now, I can no longer update to get the latest updates.

Am I correc that if I restore to an old rom and then upgrade again, I will solve the problem?

If so.... can SOMEONE PLEASE help me because my 7 Pro is O2 DE branded.

I have tried to find the ROM, but I cannot find a version that I can download.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

Thanks.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BARR3RA:
My default android camera randomly stopped working. Earlier today I tried taking a photo and my phone froze until it finally went to a completely black screen. A message popped up saying I could wait or force close the app, and I clicked force close. Now every time I try to use the camera, I get the same black screen and the only way to get out of it is to lock and then unlock my phone.

EDIT: For some reason my Tapatalk app didn't have the Q&A thread, any way to move it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM VS4:
This is a ROM error and occur in old builded ROMs such as MIUI, Old CyanogenMod Builds (CM6), and sometimes Virtous ROMs. This error is mainly because the system has an alternate Camera App running on the system thus controlling passages to the original Camera's files. This can be fixed by:

Choice 1: Flash a new ROM that is of newer build.

Choice 2: You can try fixing the permissions in Rom Manager and rebooting.

Choice 3: Use the alternate Camera app (Pre-Installed on the ROM)

Choice 4: Use a root accessible program and remove the system app.

If this helped a little please thank... Lol ;P

*If you need more help feel free to contact!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BARR3RA:
Thanks bud, what would you recommend would be the easiest method?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
If your phone is rooted with S-OFF and all that other stuff then seriously just find a stable rom that you like. Then from there all you need to do is flash a new ROM by booting into recovery either by restarting the phone and holding volume down OR if you have ADB set up then use adb reboot recovery.

Flashing a stable rom will ultimately solve your camera problem. As for a stable rom I would definitely suggest virtuous ROM.

That would probably be the easiest way. Otherwise you could try extracting the camera apk from another rom and installing that which is an extremely difficult thing to do or install an alternate camera app from the market like fxCamera.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BARR3RA:
I'm fine with my stock ROM, but doesn't Virtuous eat up a lot of battery?

Also I've tried fixing permissions with ROM manager and it didn't work. I've tried using the Pure Gingerbread ROM from the Dev Forums, but the camera didn't work either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM VS4:
Actually Virtous does use alot of battery mainly because all of the required processes needed to run the system. I think the best method is use a blackmarket app and download an alternate Camera or use the extra camera app on the phone...

--- I would say methods 3 and 4.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What "required processes" are you talking about? I haven't noticed battery drain to be any worse on Virtuous than CM7 or any other ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BARR3RA:
I'm guessing I have to get a separate camera app then? Using another ROM or fixing permissions didn't work.

EDIT: Turns out Camera ZOOM FX doesn't work either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
In my opinion virtuous doesn't burn a lot of battery unless you use the stock kernel it comes with. I found that the battery life almost tripled when I flashed the advanced virtuous kernel (1.0.9) onto it.

Just to clarify, Every rom will consume a lot of battery. Some just run fewer processes in the background or are less CPU intensive but regardless of all of that if you use a power efficient kernel (essentially a driver for your android) then your battery life will sky rocket. You should be looking for UV or undervolted kernels.

Anyways, back to topic. Try flashing a newer radio onto your device. Then if you can try using Virtuous. Your camera should definitely work with virtuous in all honesty. If you like virtuous then just flash one of the advanced kernels and then watch the battery life sky rocket.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BARR3RA:
I don't know how to do that or where to even start. *sigh* Seems like anything I try fails.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Well if your phone is rooted then all you need to do download the ROM you want and the kernel you want. Then put them both on your sdcard. From there boot into recovery and then install via ZIP and then select your ROM first. After that process is complete you wanna restart your phone and set it all up. Once you're happy go into recovery again and then install the kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the camera worked before, and its not now, I would think a full wipe and flashing back to stock would work. Or just returning to an old nandroid backup (from when the camera was still working), if you have one. Or you might try a factory reset.

Also, if you switched ROMs, and the camera is still not working, I suspect that not wiping the data, cache, and dalvik might be the culprit. If you were going from a Froyo ROM to a Gingerbread ROM, you should do a full wipe.

Using an alternate app seems like a silly solution. It shouldn't be that hard to get your packed-in software working.

Also, I would not suggest changing the radio, unless you have specific reception and/or battery issues, or you are switching to a different ROM with a specific recommended radio. "If its not broke, don't fix it" is the common mantra for radio flashing, as its an unlikely but possible way to brick your phone. Its also possible your reception and battery life will be worse after changing radios. IMO, if your reception is good, don't mess with the radio.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
How can I get ROM manager back so I can restore my backup? Even after doing a factory reset the market won't show up and when I try to install ROM manager via my PC it says it's already installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
How did you flash CWM? Through nvflash or through rom manager?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
ROM manager
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
You need to install cwm the right way. (through nvflash)

This way you can boot directly into recovery and either flash gapps or restore from the nandroid backup you should have made.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] importraverxx:
I'm gonna assume that you flashed CWM using Rom Manager because if you did it through NVFLash, you can always get into recovery by holding power and volume down.

You can try google the Rom Manager APK and download that and transfer it over via usb and install it. You might need a file manager too in order to install the APK.

Also go to your Application Management and see if you can find Rom Manager, if you do, uninstall it then try install it via your PC again.

The last resort and something you should do anyways is Flash CWM using NVFlash because it will ALWAYS allow you to get back into recovery to restore or flash new rom incase something goes wrong. Rom Manager is only fakeflash.

There is a thread show you how to do this over in G2X Android Dev Forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
And if none of that works am I looking at a brick?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
NVFlash should work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] importraverxx:
NVFlash will work for sure, unless your phone is not turning on right now at all (bricked).. otherwise, just flash CWM using NVFlash right now.. and once your done, just hold power and volume down and restore your back up or if you dont have your nandroid, get the stock one that is posted over in the Dev Forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
I'm not very familiar with nvflash, I'll see if I can figure it out. Where do you recommend I start?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] importraverxx:
Over at G2X Android Dev Forum there is a step by step guide very very easy to use. This is the General Forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
I should have looked, it's right there heh heh. Thx!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samwisesteamer:
Hey, I did the step by step guide and successfully installed nvflash but when I hold down Power+ down volume it doesn't go into recovery. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
Have looked all over the net, am I missing something?

I got one of the cheap i9020 rubber ones and am using it as a temp measure, but its rubbish and stinks!!!...lol

Any help guys?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SovereigN7:
I have a 9020t myself and just ordered a carbon fiber skin from skinomi. Im not sure if there are differences between nexus s models, but I'll definitely let you know once I get my case.

Side note: I stayed away from rubber and plastic cases as I put my device in my pocket and the rubber can cause problems to pull it out. Large plastic cases might scratch the device itself from shifting so I suggest getting something that fits really tight.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
I think you missed my point bro, I have the i9023 but cannot find a case for it anywhere, they are all for the 9020t which is smaller, therefore a case that is a tight fit on yours will be impossible to fit onto mine, unless it is soft rubber, which is what I have but dont want. Someone on here must have found a nice case for the i9023???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
The only cases I found so far that say they are for i9023 are the ones from Momax. I don't quite like their design, though :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
Many thanks suksit, just what I was after!

[Desire HD General] sabwafare2001:
I am getting a Desire HD Telus A9192 version in the mail today and will be switching to the Unlocked Telus one from the Inspire. I currently have the ATT version and have been using the Roms from the Inspire section. Will I use the Roms and Kernels from the Inspire or desire HD section for the Telus version? I know the A9191 and A9192 are similar phones with different 3G frequencies?

From DHD section of course :)

[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
When i received the phone today (around 3pm uk time) after an hour playing around with it i noticed 3 dark thick lines on the bottom half of the screen (on a gray background) i thought nothing of it at first and continued to use the phone.

Only just now i thought there must be a problem so i displayed a full white image and you could really notice those 3 thick dark lines. I then changed the screen brightness to max, min then back to auto and it was gone... BUT! when the screen dims a bit just before turning off i can see those 3 thick lines again just for those few seconds before the screen turns off.. it doesnt really effect me but it annoys me that they are there.. plus there might be problems with it in the future. I'm gonna go to my local Carphone Warehouse tomorrow and see if they can replace it.

I just want to know if any one else has had this screen problem.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Do the lines correspond to anything that is on the screen often like the keyboard or some sort of widget you have on your home screen?

These SAMOLED screens suffer from image retention and possibly burn-in. I've noticed it on my original galaxy as well as the Nexus S. As long as the lines go away after a few seconds it should be nothing to worry about. If you notice them there always then that could be a problem... usually the easiest way to see them is on a flat gray background.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
oh boy, its too soon to be having any burn in. might be another issue.

my nexus one has burn in of the status bar at the top. and i can see a burn in of my entire keyboard on a white image. after more than a year of using the phone, oh well. but the status bar burn in was there within the first month.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
the lines are:

1: just above where the 4 icons are at the bottom of the screen

2: where the page numbers are (dots)

3: just below the other 4 icons (widgets)

Thing is that these lines are solid and have no breaks in them.. so i dont think its the 3 points i gave above this.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
I know it's too early for burn-in but some screens (might I say... all?) come from the factory with some sort of flaw. None of them are perfect and most have flaws so imperceptible that most people wouldn't notice. Every nexus S and Galaxy I've seen had some sort of area or line or multiple lines on the screen which were a bit different color, not as bright, or something along those lines. Some are worse than others, and I noticed the flaws right after taking it out of the box brand new. (I've been through about 6 Nexus S's between me and a few friends).

It's not really the same as a traditional LCD/LED screen since there's not a big backlight. Each pixel is individually lit and some may have specifications that are just on the edge of within manufacturer limits. There's almost 400,000 pixels on the screen... the chances of all of them being created identically is slim to none.

If it bothers you I say just take it back and get an exchange, showing them the problem area on the screen. Just hope your new one will be "less flawed" =)
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Yeah, The last phone i had, had problems with the camera.. i went through about 5 of them and i ended up with one that was the same as the first one i had.

Can you guys have a look at yours?

Just open up a pure white image and check.. if there are no lines wait till it dims the screen and check again... thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Skycake 21:
Did you put a screen protector on it???
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
No not yet.
[Galaxy S II General] Skycake 21:
Dang... The screen protector I put on my sgs has imperfections in it that make the screen appear to have dis coloured pixels in a straight line, but alas, this is not your issue..
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
which screen protector did u get? so i know not to buy it =)

edit:

Also ill post the results tomorrow if any one is interested.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
take a screen shot of the problem? might not show but worth a try, then post it.
[Galaxy S II General] beWater:
if it is really faulty, you should contact the seller to replace it.

I am really sorry for you, I will personal be mad if my long waited SGS2 comes with a super amoled plus faulty screen
[Galaxy S II General] mkrmec:
Picture or it didn't happen... that's the moto :D
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
well i dont have a good quality camera. You might of seen it before i changed the brightness settings but now that i have its kind of faint and you can only see it when the screen dims..

Gonna go to carphone warehouse now be back later :)
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
well before i went i called up all the carphone warehouses near me and none of them have stock.

I was told i only have two options:

1: go to a carphone warehouse and exchange.

2: go to a carphone warehouse and get a refund then order it online again.

So i should get a new one by tomorrow.. or atlest on friday.
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
no poroblems like that with mine. Screen is freaking perfect. On a side note i liked doing this test because I love staring at the screen.

Drooooool
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
well.. i went to a carphone warehouse.. and they had two instock. I exchanged it.. screen is fine but.. now after i got home i can see a mark/ dig inbetween the screen and the bezel (where the gap is)

again it doesnt really effect me but god.. now that i know its there.. i notice it so much that.. i might exchange it again Y_Y

This happens to me every single time i buy a new phone >.<... trust my luck!
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
well well well.

Went to lakeside since the one near me closed at 7pm.

Changed the phone again and this one had the lines on the screen and a dig in the silver bezel. She gave me another phone and the screen was perfect and there are no digs on the silver bezel...

In 2 days iv had my hands on 4 different S2's lol..

Last phone i had i also had 4 of them cause of XXX problems.. thought i was gonna beat it today and have 5 XD
[Galaxy S II General] pierrotee:
Geebuz wept! I'm getting mine in from the UK tomorrow. I hope for hell sake it doesn't have imperfections. The ship back to the UK would be a disaster and if that one has a dig in the bezel upon return I'd blow a valve!

FINGERS CROSSED MINE IS PERFECT
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
as far as i know. this is the grid pattern on the super amoled screens. however. because of the poor QA/QC of the screens, some of those grid patterns are more visible than other area of the screen.

the whole super amoled is about lines on a grid pattern. if you notice more deeply, you will see that you also have those " lines " some where else on the screen yet they are not visible as the one you noticed.

i had to go through 4 galaxy S1 to get a good one where the pattern isnt "visible " through the whole screen.

its a defective unit. mainly poor Qa/QC. if you can live with it, it wont do you any harms. or get bigger. if you cant, then change it.

or and make sure you dont have a dud phone with piss poor yellow white on high brightness or pink gray on low brightness. because thats also a defect in super amoled screens.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Know how you feel maate, im on my 4th SGS II and i had 4 NS's too;((( Im a stickler for quality;)
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
4 sgs2 ?

and i was this close to import one online. ... i think i will pass till the used phones are available so i can check them as i like without having some dude telling me its a new phone you cant open it and not take it without restocking fees.

i guess a phone this hyped will sure get some used phones very quickly. i refuse to buy a defective QA QC phone. and i wished if those dealers throw the phone on samsungs management face and tell them people are returning them. make a better QA QC before u ship your phone stupid mfers.

and not only samsung, htc, sony, apple are all in as well. screw everyone here who accept a defective phone and say here " i dont care its just a phone " you are part of the problem
[Galaxy S II General] :
#

Yep, two with a back button default and one with a screen default.. But it worked out for the best because i returned the phones4u one for a 530 refund and i hear o2 are now doing them for 400, so the faults saved me 130 quid;) I might give the SGS2 a miss for a while to get there build quality up to scratch first... Might but a Z for a bit, i loved that phone;P

Anyone else having this problem? can't call while this is going on, changing network to GSM ONLY kind-of fixed it but now i'm stuck without 3G& i dont even use Data on my phone plan, so anyone having these problems should go about setting it to gsm only.
