Download PD15IMG.ZIP to the root of your sdcard and boot into Hboot and let that do its thing then root using gfree
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
This thread talks about Safe Mode on the MyTouch 4G. You get to it by holding the Menu button while booting the phone; you get out of it by rebooting again. If you're constantly stuck in Safe Mode, then perhaps your menu button is stuck and thus your phone thinks it's pressed during boot.

EDIT: I just tried this myself and thought this was worth sharing. I held menu all the way until I say my lockscreen. During the boot animation, the phone vibrated and the animation stopped, then continued again. When the lockscreen came up, I saw "Safe Mode" in the lower left. When I went to unlock the screen, it jumped back to the bootanimation (:confused:). When the lockscreen came up again, "Safe Mode" was gone. Not knowing what to make of it, I rebooted normally again just to make sure I wasn't in some limbo state.

I'm running CM7 with faux123's lower voltage kernel, so maybe that's got something to do with it.

I did the PD15IMG.ZIP part that you told me to do! But, how to i root using gfree without terminal emulator on my mytouch 4g? My friend reset my phone after getting it stuck on safe mode, so I can't use apps once I download them from the market :(

your help would be much appreciated :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocheesehead:
So shoot...my screen got cracked...bad. I had it in a case, inside of my padded laptop case, I took it out to read tonight, HUGE crack. I can't believe this has happened!

Has anybody had any luck with replacement glass for their gtab? I've read that some folks have been getting custom cut glass from their local glass store. Has anybody done this? What type of glass (thickness / type) is suggested.

I'd rather find an actual replacement glass, but am willing to try anything!

Thanks,

Pat
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocheesehead:
So am I just f*cked or what?! I would really like to try and get some glass custom cut. The glass is shattered so bad that once the bezel (sp?) is taken off it is going to fall completely apart!

[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
I know alot of people have done something like this already just wondering who likes the newer phones that are out and want's one or is using one. Love the Evo wondering what would be better to swap over too next.

1. Epic looks sweet

2. Echo 2 screens looks sweet lacks 4g

3. Galaxy S nice look to it.

4. Evo 3d looks nice tho the evo's already struggle with battery life think this one will make it worse. Nice features tho.

So what phone do you prefer to get and why?

P.S. This is general thread question. Thought it would be better here then Q&A those are more for Trouble shooting tech problems.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I would go with an Evo 3D or galaxy S.

The Echo...get serious. :p
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I voted for the 3D. Its the best one that's confirmed to be coming to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Echo, for sure.

Hear that phone is a BEAST!
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
I voted for the Galaxy S because my cousin just got the GS2 for T-Mobile that I rooted. So far its a pretty cool phone. I like how slim and lightweight it is and don't forget about how cool the screen is haha. But I also would like to try out the Evo 3D even though I don't see the point of having a 3D phone nor TV. But the hardware and sense 3.0 is sweet
[EVO 4G General] popper668:
i jumped ship after 6months with the Epic, "LACK" of support was my biggest gripe. i come to the EVO and I'm super happy on this side of the fence. I will sticking to the HTC brand for quite some time to come. only one man's opinion. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
If I could buy any phone today (or this summer, obviously), I would choose the Galaxy S II. Without question. Slimmer device, better screen, better battery life, etc.

And the whole "Samsung sucks with updates" thing has been proven to be complete and utter b.s. It's the U.S. carriers. All the other countries around the world got FroYo for the Galaxy S last Fall. Some countries even earlier than that.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
If it was all up to the carrier then why did the evo receive updates more readily than the epic? Also, evo upgrades were solid while Samsung and sprint ended up pulling updates on two occasions because of instability and complaints. That never happened with the evo ... there is truth to the complaints and what's been said about Samsung...

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I used to say that also. The Evo got updates, but the Epic didn't. Then I looked around, and saw that basically THE ENTIRE WORLD has 2.2 on their Galaxy S, except for here in the U.S. There are already leaked builds of 2.3 for the original Galaxy S, but yet the U.S. phones don't even have FroYo. I'm not saying that Samsung is without fault here; what I am saying is that if the the rest of the world (pretty much) has 2.2 on their Galaxy S, there is obviously something going on with the U.S. carriers.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I get your point, nonetheless I prefer HTC though I think the Sammy has better hardware. My wife has had a poor experience with both the moment and now the epic. These experiences have led me to question Samsung more and more while HTC has never let me down. Even my touch price was solid (though I know this wasn't the case for most)...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobak:
Hi all,

I was running 1.57, rooted, with Gingerblur and deodexed.

I wanted to upgrade to 1.83, so, from reading, I determined that the OTA update was a bad idea. I tracked down 1.83 SBF download, got a copy of sbf_flash (linux) and let 'er rip.

According to Settings->About Phone, I now have:

System version: Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US

Android version: 2.2.2

Baseband version: N_01.77.07P

Motorola Webtop version: OSHWT_U1_4.257.30

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-0007-g527fe10

Build Number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3

If I go to Settings->About Phone->Status, I see:

Mobile Network Type: HSDPA

Mobile Network State: Disconnected

And, I have no network connectivity, unless I connect to WiFi.

I guess I have several questions:

- Does any of the info listed above look wrong for a phone that's been updated to 1.83?

- Should my 'Mobile Network Type' be HSDPA or HSPA? I *do* have an 'H+' on the status line display.

- Does anyone have any idea or suggestion as to what I can here?

Thanks,

-Mark

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badnokia:
See these two posts:

1) http://goo.gl/jwHT9

2) http://goo.gl/0mMcU

I had the same problem with my radio not updating properly (was stuck on .07P, instead if being updated to .15P). I had to download the 1.57 sbf & flash it to make it work again, then use the OTA 1.83 update. Things have been fine since. Others have had luck re-entering their APN, just giving it time, or changing locations (i.e., cell towers).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddfault:
I used Tenfar's CWM Recovery to flash Gingerblur 3.1 and Gingerblur 3.5 so I too have N_01.77.07P. I don't use mobile data very much so I hadn't noticed.

If I connect to a Wi-Fi location with mobile data enabled it will say

Mobile Network Type: HSDPA

Mobile Network State: Disconnected

and with Wi-Fi turned off and mobile data still enabled I will get

Mobile Network Type: HSDPA

Mobile Network State: Connected

I have used mobile data off and on since 1.8.3

This weekend I will probably flash the 1.8.3 sbf mentioned in the previous post.

Its been probably a while since I installed Gingerblur 3.1 (2 weeks?) and I have had issues with the Amazon appstore. Perhaps the radio has been the root of my troubles with Gingerblur 3.x

[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I heard its extremely difficult. Supposedly the touch sensor is extremely fragile. Again just what I heard.
[Thunderbolt General] gospeed.racer:
If you are good with small parts and very patient, it is not going to be a terrible job, but I wouldnt recommend it if you havent done a digitizer before. They are very fragile, and the front bezel will require careful removal of old adhesive. Here is a video, ignore the final part which is just the LCD disassembly.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiauhj_htc-thunderbolt-take-apart-screen-repair-guide_school

...and here is the digitizer on Amazon....

[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
thanks! i will definitely look into this.
[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
ok so in that video the adhesive is heated up so they can be separated, but what about putting it back together? is that same adhesive still good? what about where the ribbon cable is glued down?
[Thunderbolt General] gospeed.racer:
I have used thin double side tape on a few, but usually I like the black rubberized superglue from the hobby store (called tire glue for RC cars). Use very sparingly. It is shock resistant and not brittle like regular superglue. Keep in mind, I have done a lot of digitizers in the past, but not on a Thunderbolt, your mileage may vary!
[Thunderbolt General] wakestrong:
Very fragile is an understatement.
[Thunderbolt General] chriskader:
I had to replace mine about a week ago. I though it would be easy since I have replaced MANY iPhone digitizers. Ohhh I was wrong. I really wish I would have looked on Amazon since I had to pay 88 for one on eBay (I only buy from US sellers). The hardest part to me was seperating the LCD from the frame. I kinda man handled the old digitizer since it was broke. You will need to use a good combo of heat and force but don't pry to hard or you will crack your LCD. I recommend a blow dryer it does not get super hot and everyone has one. Use the adhesive well since that is the only thing holding your LCD and digitizer to the phone. I made the mistake of not using enough and now when my.phone is not in its case the screen likes to move around.

PS: Keep everything dust free!!! You do not want pressure points between the digitizer and LCD from dust.

No, thats not a storm. Its just my Thunderbolt layin down this post.
[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
thanks again guys. i went ahead and ordered the digitizer. i really hope i dont screw this up. ive never done this before

[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
its mostly because im too cheap to pay someone else to do it lol i better not screw it up though :P
[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
ok so i replaced the digitizer, no problem. i turned on my phone and my LCD is now all f'd up. half the screen is discolored and lines, bla bla. i took it back apart and what it appears to be is that i must have pulled on the ribbon cable too hard when separating the lcd from the motherboard. its sort of stretched on one side.

So now i have to buy a new LCD i think :/ i might have a cellphone repair place put it in for me.

does anyone know if using a screen from a different phone such as the inspire will work?
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
There are many services that will repair these things for you, I've seen several ads on eBay to repair digitizers. I would stick with Thunderbolt parts though, unless you want a frankenbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Fehnix22:
haha yea i guess you're right. its just so expensive :/ i thought maybe i could cop a super LCD. i might bid on a broken thunderbolt on ebay that still has a good screen. think i should or just buy a new one for 70/80 bucks?

So I love my vibrant and I was slightly getting bored. Not because the phone sucks but because I found the perfect rom for me. That in itself says a lot about the devs on xda.

So I am using this mt4g and I've rooted it and installed a nice rom and I can set the phone to clock speeds upwards of 1.8ghz which is completely insane to me.

After spending time with it I am glad I picked up the vibrant.

So I am interested to see if anyone else had used a mt4g and came right back to the vibrant.

I also am very interested in what you liked and didnt like. This isnt a pissing contest or a rant just sharing info.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I was interested in the Mytouch 4G as well, seeing as most in this forum wish they had one instead of the Vibrant. I mean, is anything worth trading for?

Sure you can overclock it well. Oh, you can overclock to 1.8 GHZ? Well great, have fun with your battery sipping CPU and your exponentially decreased CPU life. And with that you can get dust in the screen, off centered FFC, creaky buttons, and half of them with washed out displays. Woohoo.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Yeah I feel the same way you do. The back light bleeds like a mofo . I will never overlock anything that high without proper cooling!

I think It feels a little more responsive as far as my screen presses. I do like the support. thats awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Important note about Gapps, please go to the following or read the excerpt below: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/#234

So what's up with the 2.3.4 GApps?

**(Please note, YMMV with all of the following information. Nandroid is your friend!)**

This is a tricky one. The problem here is that Google, unlike what they've done for every previous

update to the G1, Nexus One, Nexus S, etc., decided to compile the Talk2.apk and libtalk_jni.so to

be compatible only with the neon board, and ARM v7 (aka, the Nexus S), rather than every board, the

actual Gingerbread API's, and ARM v6 and Tegra as well. So here's where this leaves us:

20110307: Technically works just fine on 2.3.4, just as it did on 2.3.3. Just doesn't have the Market

updates already in it (you'll get the updates as soon as you launch the Market for the first/second/third

time or so), nor does it have the new Google Talk. Because of this, it's still used in ROM Manager for

AOSP ROMs such as CyanogenMod, listed as Recommended in the Google Apps listing, and is given

at the latest/7/universal page, and the above table.

20110503: This is made directly from the 2.3.4 Nexus S OTA. The new Google Talk is included, but

is not recommended for Android 2.3.3 (CyanogenMod 7.0.x), and on most devices four main bugs are present:

Google Talk FC's when switching cameras.

Contacts do not see your video, but you see theirs, and you see your own preview.

Contacts do not see the ability to start a voice/video chat with you, and get an error instead.

Incompatible with ARMv6 or Tegra devices.

Lithid's GApps: Technically, these work. Problem is that they don't work on ARM v6 or Tegra, still generate

FC's when switching cameras, and it has modified APK's and libraries. Because the files have been modified,

they cannot be distributed here or on ROM Manager under the "back up our software" approach.

So what can be done? In the meantime... Not much. We're basically waiting for a manufacturer to release a 2.3.4

OTA update which has a universally-compiled library and app. Otherwise, 20110307 is recommended for everyone on

2.3.3-2.3.4 (CyanogenMod 7.0.x-7.1.x). There might be other options that present themselves (a new OTA for a

Nexus device which has the files we need, someone breaking into the Googleplex (that was a joke!), etc.), but

until then, there's not much anyone can do. If you have any questions, ideas, etc., you can contact me on Twitter.
