The charge doesn't have a bootloader lol so how can an unlocked one be better then no bootloader
[LG Revolution] imnuts:
Last I checked, the bootloader on the Charge was unlocked. How else would we be able to flash custom kernels and have them work? Also, what good are custom ROMs when you'd have to use ADB to install them rather than being able to use recovery to flash them?

All phones have bootloaders, as does any computer AFAIK. If it didn't, the power button wouldn't do anything
[LG Revolution] Syn Ack:
This. Sometimes you don't see the bootloader, but if you have any kind of OS or anything at all, then you have a bootloader. And the Charge's is completely unlocked and never was locked.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Charge time from 20% to full was under 2hrs for me. Market is up to date. Mine has all the apps, and what is not installed can be downloaded in seconds. Default keyboard was nice, but I use swype, which comes preloaded on the phone. I have not had any app have issues running.

I currently have the phone and love it. Rooted and waiting for a recovery mod...

I know this has been asked before but I haven't seen any real responses from an Arc owner.

Does the Arc support 720p High-Profile H.264 in an MP4 container?

I'm considering selling my Galaxy S because it lacks HDMI out so I'm looking for a device that will play 720p over HDMI. I know it lacks MKV support but I would be interested to know if it supports HD MP4s.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:

Is the mobo player still recommended? Or is there something new?

[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
Hi everyone

I got a problem with my folio 100.

The touchscreen sometimes not response suddenly for seconds when I playing a full screen game such as Friut Ninja, and then it get right again.

I tried many ROMs, include Dexter's v1.1 n v1.4 n blur1.0, Notion2.0, and even the original TOSHIBA foliostock. The issue always exists. Especially, I found that, when I use multi-touch, the problem is more likely to appear.:confused:

I'm sure that's not a hardware problem, because the screen mostly works well.
[Folio 100 General] Jon2555:
I always has that problem, in games and normal use. Problem is in bad made parts for Folio-Toshiba fault.
[Folio 100 General] nightmarept:
I´ll tell you what worked for me.

Take of back cover and tight every screw, then use an A4 paper and fold it in two.

Then put the paper on top of the battery, there´s a gap between the battery and cover, then close the folio and try it if it helped.

Mine is working great since then, and even better with cyanogen mod 7.
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
thanks, maybe i'll have a try.

but that seems solves the influence from the battery? I think mine can be a software problem...because i found that the touch screen stoped only when the system seems stucked
[Folio 100 General] nightmarept:
Try it , you´ll never know :) .

And try cyanogen mod also.

Unfortunately with our folio´s it´s a case of trial and error :(
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
Oh Gosh it works!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank u a lot!!!

i put in a paperboard rather than a thin paper and then it works!!!

thanks!!! you r so kind!!!!!
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
hey! try that Portuguese guy's method, just below your reply...it works on my device!! yes !!
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
and i forgot to say that i've tried the CM before, it's true that it is not very completed yet. and it even may cause some strange problems when you flash a elder system.
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
new question~

as i said before i used a thick paper. but the problems still appeared several times(much better than before)

however a too thin paper also doesn' work.

did you just used a folded A4 paper??
[Folio 100 General] megeszlek:
I had the same problem, but I brought my Folio to service, they gave me a new device, and it works perfectly! If you have a guarantee, it worth a try.
[Folio 100 General] qiuhao.xu09:
yeah that's true

i gonna have a try, though i've solved that problem by putting a little piece of sponge into the device

[Folio 100 General] adolfito:
hi.

anyone can upload photo?

thanks.
[Folio 100 General] spicyalan:
I also had this problem with my Folio.

Putting something in the back between battery and casing helps for a while. But the problem just comes back, only to be solved by placing a thicker piece of paper until it breaks again. It is also not consistent to reproduce (sometimes it works perfect all day, and the next day it is a pain to use)

I had the issue when the Folio was 2 months old. After the 3rd month, I have send it back to Toshiba as I still had warranty.

It is still working now (it must be + 1 year since repair).
[Folio 100 General] adolfito:
thanks, spicy.

i will try this night.

my folio worked perfect until last week.

i flashed android 4.1.2 but no luck.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] neutronfiasco:
Hello all,

I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for the last 3 days, and get nowhere. About a year ago, I rooted my Mt3g LE using the unlockr's goldcard method.

Everything worked fine until 5 days ago, when some programs stopped working. So I try to get into my recovery, and it's no longer there.

Now, I boot back into the ROM, and go to ROM manager to fix permissions. I reboot again, and try to get to my recovery. Still no, so then I got into my ROM, and clicked "Fix recovery".

Big mistake.

Now, my phone is stuck at the ROM loading splash screen. I found my goldcard, tried to flash the same SPL that it was rooted with [the top one on this page](http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548218)

and it tells me "Model ID Incorrect".

Then, I tried both of the other SPL's on that page, and it tells me the same thing. I checked my goldcard on my friend's phone, and it seemed to work okay.

summary= Can't boot into ROM, can't get into recovery, can't flash SAPPIMG's.

I can get into HBOOT and FASTBOOT / FASTBOOT USB on my phone.

The lastest thing I've tried is to [unroot](http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=665814) but it tells me "Main Version is older! Update fail!"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
Try the stock recovery (power off the phone, press and hold HOME+POWER, until you see the phone with exclamation sign, then let go and press HOME+POWER again, until you see the stock recovery, might take a few presses to get to it), with this rom "6db5d4965a64.OTA_Sapphire_TMOUS_3.56.531.1-2.10.531.4_P2_release", just do a search here. Rename the file to update.zip and put it on the root of your sd. When you're in stock recovery do a wipe and then flash the update.zip. See if that works for you.

I'm in the same situation though and nothing I've tried has worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] neutronfiasco:
I did discover that I can get into ADB when it's trying to boot.

Is there anything I can do via ADB?

I've attached a logcat for any ideas.

thanks dark0,

the screen just stays at the HTC MAGIC splash, though. I left home and power pressed for 6 minutes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
If you still have root access and your fastboot is working, try flashing the amon ra's recovery through fastboot (http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/ , skip to step 4 if you've already set up the adb on your pc), and see if that works, if you still have root, you won't be getting the "not allow" message when flashing.

From there you'll be able to flash the new rom to get out of the bootloop.

So don't rush and take a time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ihowilde:
I couldn't decide if I wanted black or white, but my friend told me to go for the white one. It finally arrived this morning, and I really like the overall look. I used all the provided carbon fiber skin, and I didn't know that Phantomskinz is also including the screen protector on the chromatics order. I thought it was excluded, so definitely an added bonus when I opened my package today.

I'm debating whether to get a clear case, or just buy a pouch for me phone. It looks nice, but I don't want it to get scratched. Should I stick with a tpu case, a pouch or a clear hard case?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
Hi!

My brand new SGS2 quickly got bad blocks on the ... /efs partition.

Talk about bad luck, radio wouldn't work. Also, odin, etc wouldn't format that properly as EFS shouldn't be deleted (even "Phone EFS clear" does not work)

After tinkering around a while, granted that you DO HAVE a backup of the /efs (when you buy the phone and root it, for the love of whatever you believe in ALWAYS BACKUP EFS), I found a way to do it properly.

If you do not have a backup (ARE U NUTS?!) try this in adb shell as root:

# cp -r /efs /sdcard/efs

If there's no error, it might work. Even if there's errors, but /sdcard/efs is not empty, it might work. If you have ._nvdata kind of files that copied successfully, you might also be able to recover something. (post here for assistance if so, i guess)

Note that regular write/reads and regular dd'ing won't work.

Anyhow.

1: root the phone

2: coy your efs backup to your sdcard (eg as /sdcard/efs in my example)

3: adb shell to the phone, su if necessary (=be root)

4: # umount /efs

5: # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/null bs=1

*wait a while*

Check the number of bytes it has read and copy it, normally it should be 20971520 (20 megs)

<size> is without the "<>" eg make_ext4fs -l 293938 -a ...

6: # make_ext4fs -l <size> -a efs /sdcard/efs_new.img /sdcard/efs

7: # dd if=/sdcard/efs_new.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=1

*wait ages*

8: # mount -text4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs

*check theres no error*

9: # reboot

10: # verify you have no I/O error in dmesg

Good luck!

And remember:

This voids your warranty.

This is at your own risk.

Making mistakes/typoes in the devices names can BRICK your device.

I am not responsible if anything wrong happen.
