Hey, play.com no longer have the HTC Sensation available for pre-order. I wonder why? Have they allocated all their pre-order stock, or changed their minds?

My pre-order is still showing in "Open Orders" though.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Odd. Maybe they put the info up too early...it is a over a month until they say the phone is released. Or maybe they did get it wrong, and handtec are right :)
[General Questions and Answers] heylady40:
Rooted my Nookcolor v.1.1.0 about a month ago; however, I unrooted tonight because I wanted to update my nook firmware with the new v1.2. So, I followed the unroot process of

1. Erase and Deregister; and

2. Perform 8 uninterrupted boots (actually my NC reset after 7 attempts.)

So, the NC started up just fine; however, I cannot register. The registration screen just stalls out and does not let me do anything.

I'm not a tech person (just an average person), so I'm not sure how to correct this problem from looking at the threads on the XDA forums.

Can you post something in just plan language about the various options. Or is this NC done with and I just need to buy a new one?

I have been trying many different programs to unroot and they seem not working. My phone is updated to the latest version. any helps please???!!! I'm a rookie, my apologizes. I just dont wanna f**k my phone up. FYI i used Gingerbread v1.1 and have SuperUser application on my phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
Gingerbreak v1.2 has unroot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
GladRoot does also.

Or you could sbf.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cam9191:
How do you upload v1.2 to atrix? i downloaded it and it seems nothing happen? im sorry everything is so confusing to me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cam9191:
Gladroot doesnt work at all
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
hm, maybe try to uninstall v1.1 first (settings->applications->manage applications->Gingerbreak->uninstall). download the v1.2 apk. Install v1.2 onto your Atrix with the instructions here, something like (once your phone is connected, debugging mode enabled, USB mode none:

adb devices ->output should list a device, your atrix

adb install C:\directory where you downloaded the apk\GingerBreak-v1.20.apk

the gingerbreak app should now be on your phone, run it and then unroot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Your doing it wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg11784:
You could also move gladroot to an SD card and execute through file manager to install it.

I could be wrong, but you could probably just delete the su and superuser.apk and you should be unrooted.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Not true, either part. Wtf.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Safest route........flash sbf and be done with it. By time you find the magic shortcut that will fu*k your phone up you could have flashed 4.1.26 and updated OTA TO 4.1.83.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropy1980:
I thought the sbf made it not an "official build" and then wouldn't OTA update? Have a friend with an Atrix same issue can't seem to unroot so hoping someone can give some clear steps that I can pass on. I believe he used aRoot originally to root it...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
No. SBF is the official build. SBF does not keep you from OTA update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca509:
Hi,

I already searched the forums, but couldn't find a clear answer. If you would be so kind, just answer the questions with yes/no

A custom recovery is just more capable than the normal recovery?

A custom recovery image is neccessary for a nandroid backup?

Does the custom recovery image overwrites the normal recovery?

Does the original recovery gets restored, if I restore a nandroid backup, which was made at the very first start of the phone (for warranty purpose)?

Is it possible to flash a kernel without a custom recovery or do I need it anyway?

Finally this is what I'm planning to to:

I'll receive my Nexus s today and want to change the carrier-info and install a custom kernel. Therefore I'd like to proceed as follows:

Create a nandroid backup with the original recovery for warranty purpose

Install a custom recovery image (clockworkmod recovery?)

Change carrier-info according to the how-to

Update to stock 2.3.4

Root the phone

Install netarchy kernel

Lock bootloader

Are the steps fine or did I miss something. I would be very delighted if one of you guys could help me!

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzahiri:
Long story short you'll need the custom recovery to do anything you see on xda.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca509:
Thanks, but that still leaves me 2 questions:

Does the custom recovery overwrite the original recovery?

Is the original recovery restored when I install the original stock rom / nandroid backup?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
You have two options:

fastboot boot recovery.img

In case you just want to make a nandroid backup and preserve stock recovery, no flashing process through this command, phone simple boots into a custom recovery.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Flash any custom recovery and replace stock or wherever recovery was installed before. Very useful if you want to install different kind of ROMs or kernels.

Restoring a backup or flashing a stock ROM will bring back stock recovery. Just make sure this script is present in your phone: /etc/install-recovery.sh It will do the job for you after reboot.

[Streak 5 General] travfar:
Has anyone had any second thoughts about rooting their Streaks because of what happened in the Sony vs. Gehot case. I'm not referring to the settlement. I'm talking about what happened before that. The fact that the judge ordered the ISPs, youtube, google, twitter, paypal to turn over any information they had on anyone who watched or read about the PS3 jailbreak to Sony. So now it seems that you can be look into for the mere act of reading about something that hasn't even been proven to be illegal.
[Streak 5 General] alperin1:
hell no. never even heard of it till now.

Seems pretty stupid on Sony's part if you ask me. Why would I ever want to purchase fron a company like that.
[Streak 5 General] gregianos:
Sony's issue is that the ps3 software is a closed ecosystem which he had opened up to anyone, while as I understand it Android is open source in the main.

Shouldn't be a problem.
[Streak 5 General] BlueCrystal:
No. and I believe the court ruling on jailbreaking applies to other devices including android devices. Besides, iirc there wasnt even a verdict in the geohot case. It was settled out of court or whatever.
[Streak 5 General] travfar:
The settlement didn't change the fact that the judge ordered twitter, youtube, paypal, google, etc, etc to hand over the personal information of anyone who viewed the website or the video on how to jailbreak the PS3. They all complied. That all happened before the settlement occurred. So now Sony has a list of known "jailbreakers", aided by the government. This sets a dangerous precedent.
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
I'm trying to find the correlation between ps3 hackers and people who root their phones.
[Streak 5 General] sturmavik:
Short answer: no.

Really don't imagine Dell give a rat's azz what I do with my Streak. The Streak is chump change compared to their computer sales.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
There is no correlation since it depends on the manufacturer/developers to persue users

Dell doesnt mind/doesnt care, the streak has a fully unlocked bootloader and you can literally do anything you want on it.

No android phone manufacturer actively persues their users, the most they do are like moto or htc and lock down the bootloaders. Even if you do mess with a locked phone you can always return to the stock rom and have no issues with the manu (unless you brick your phone in the process, then you're at their mercy)

Even sony-erricson (which is a seperate group from sony proper) allows you the option of unlocking the xperia play and doing what you want on it (with the exception that it will void your warrentee)

also even apple doesnt actively seek the dev team, you can jailbreak your phone, just dont expect any support if you break it

This has nothing to do with how open/closed the platform is, it has everything to do with corporate policy

the only real way you can get in serious trouble is by hacking the phone to where you can change your IMEI/IMSI since that's pretty much illegal anywhere you can use a cell phone or by creating/distributing apps that directly attack networks/anything obviously illegal along those lines.

Hey all

I get pretty bad signal on my SGS. I live in NZ and am with 2Degrees and my average signal strength at home is -90dBm to -101 dBm. While at work it ranges from -97 to -113dBm. I know this is quite a bad signal and it pretty much never gets any better. I have tried several modems including XXJPY, XXJQ1, BUJP5, ZSJPE and they all appear to be very similar.

I think this affects my battery life as I have never had more than ~24hrs battery life even with 3g disabled for most of the day. I currently use JuiceDefender set to enable data for 1min every 15mins and only get ~12 hours out of my battery (with 2 hours of screen usage). When I check my battery usage stats screen usage is always above 90%

Is this typical or am I doing something wrong?

If you want to know my config I'm running Doc's XWJS8 2.2.1 with Speedmod K13E kernel. Auto brightness, 3g on, Wifi turns off when not connected (juicedefender does this), and I have facebook/twitter updating hourly.

Not sure about signal strength - although I know at my home office it is bad - 2 bars (will read it and update this post) - but I get similar battery performance - even screen power use percentage. I am not running Juicedefender btw and wifi is running. At least you added or are aware that 3G operation and signal strength affects modem power :-), wish more persons did.

Oh I am running on 850MHz most of the time and yes JL2 is 850 capable.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Hi Guys,

Yesterday I was having trouble with "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)" error, I managed to solve this problem but ever since my calls keep dropping, oddly enough the call seems to stay connected the other end.

When I make a call it connects then drops looking at the screen for a few moments the signal has completely gone but then mysteriously comes back almost immediately, if I call my partners phone the call drops after 10-20 seconds, and if I call again the first call to her stays connected at her end, if she picks up the second call the other call goes on hold and the second call drops exactly the same.

Following the cant mount error I flashed back to Reflex 2.0.1, I didnt have the problem earlier with Reflex 2.0.0 which I did a nand with even restoring this the problem remains, I've tried insertcoin rom problems remains and also tried apps2d+ rom instead of cm7 and still problem remains.

Can anyone help?

Should flash a rooted stock froyo rom and start s-off again?

ther may be a problem with the proximity sensor on the fone could be hardware/software
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper7881:
i was having a look over at htc forums and i found this

"

Posted by andyc120 on 15 Aug 2010 2:15 PM

After more research I was able to fix the problem on my Desire. I have a screen protector which had the smallest tiniest mark on it in the top left. The proximity sensor is two small dots at the top left of the front of the phone in the black area above the screen (you can actually just about see them when holding the screen up to the sun or a bright light).

A lot of people apparantly have had this problem when using screen protectors, or cases (I know you said you are not using a case) that cover the proximity sensor. Once I peeled off my screen protector it started working fine again.

There is an app I used to check when the proximity sensor was detecting something and when it wasn't - the app is called ProxyLightTest. Download that then mess around holding your hand over the proximity sensor and see if it has problems. I am guessing you might be using a screen protector or there might be a slight scratch on your screen over the proximity sensor that is messing with your signal. if not then maybe you'll have to send it back.

Hope this helps! Good luck."

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chandy207:
Hello all,

This is my first post here.

Id like to start by thanking everybody on this site for the volumes of info. You guys rock!

Q: why do strange apps have full permissions?

I have learned so much from everyone here since addopting android. I've recently rooted my thunderbolt and i've been looking at alot of the system info. There is alot of stuff that seems quite questionable (and slightly shady). For example there is a widget running in the background constantly called htc clock widget. This has prettymuch every system permission, and i have no idea why. Also checkin services has the same permissions. I've tried to research both apps extensively but i can barely find any info, every one seems to have questions, but no answers. I might be paranoid, but if something is going to have access to that much info i'd like to know why it needs it. Actually the only info i could find on the subject was through "bing" which seems sort of strange to me. If anyone has any info regarding this, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chandy207:
Well i dont know how to copy from the app info so ill summarize.

Both clock widget (not the clock mind you), and checkin service have as follows

Messages: read attachments, edit sms and mms, read sms and mms, recieve sms and mms

Location: course and fine

Personal info: calender events, read write browser history and bookmarks

Network: create bluetooth connections, full internet access

Your accounts: google mail, manage account list, use credentials

Storage: modify sd contents

Phone calls: modify phone state, read phone state identity

System tools: bluetooth, change network connectivity, change wifi state, change wimax state, modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping, retrieve running apps, set time zone, write access point name, write sync settings

Well thats what the widgets got, seems like alot to me. Htc checkin service i have read about and i guess its googles way of recieving anonymous user data. And i guess you can disable it in the build.prop. Any ideas?

Not able to post a screenshot just yet, but here's the current status of my phone :

So basically, 20 minutes of phonecalls, 30 minutes of gaming, 3 hours of turned on screen, and phone's battery is on 21% after 6 days of not charging.

The funny thing is - the battery section isn't displaying the web browsing/downloading I did on Opera in these 6 days ( had internet connection via wireless on my college ), the SMSing I did, and the 20 minutes I watched latest How I Met Your Mother episode.

( the only program I have installed that directly correlates to battery performance is advanced task killer; every time before I lock my phone after using it, I kill all processes running in background, including ATK itself; and of course, I manually disable bluetooth/wireless/data transfer after I'm done using them )

I haven't rooted my phone yet ( I haven't seen any JITs around so I don't particulary need the root yet ), so I can't snap a screen yet, but I'll try to get a friend to come over and take a picture of phone while on "Battery" section.
