[HTC EVO 3D] popular nobody:
Locked bootloader is not the reason for the initial relay, as this internal problem has been going on before CTIA. There wasn't a release date because the device wasn't final production ready. People want them to announce a date 2 months in advance, when no other carrier does that. I can't imagine how people feel, when they are waiting for a high end device, especially if they still using a low end. I just wouldn't want you to wait for a sexy device with numerous problems. Having said that, the EVO 3D is ready to be confirmed for gold status. One problem though.....

The locked bootloader. I've mentioned this before to xHausx. If the device was a touch away from being gold, why not just release it with a OTA Software update? It won't take years to unlock a bootloader, but to unlock 100K? This situation is the only thing that I'm out of the loop with.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't believe what many say here when claiming to know what is going on the the EVO 3d, but for some reason I feel like you might be legit :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
I assume you mean evo 3d....... do we really need another thread talking about the release date of this phone?

I wish something new would happen to drown out this issue. At least during the few days the bootloader was a big deal it provided variety
[HTC EVO 3D] zanderman112:
This was in the epic 4g section. Don't complain about another thread, because I didnt post it in this section to begin with, besides, all 3d release threads will probably be merged at some point.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cableguy1:
have any of you experienced this. the phone has a silicone cover from vzw, and it barely needs to be touched (and I mean barely) and the volume is changed. If i am in an app doing something I get kicked out.

Just wondering, thanx...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] imTousey:
I have this problem a lot of times too, and I don't even have a silicone cover on it. I always find my phone switching from vibrate to silent which gets really annoying.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cableguy1:
Ya, it's pretty annoying. I wonder if all the phones do it... Otherwise it's a pretty cool phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I think it has to do with the size of the rocker and the placement. It's very easy to hit the buttons where they are placed and even without a cover I have accidentally hit it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] netinept:
Mine is actually too hard to press. I usually have to double-press, confirming that I'm over the particular area of the volume rocker for it to accept the input, and then press rather forcefully. I'm not using any sort of case, either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rbrock3509:
It's a simple fix all you do is take a razor and cut out the thin strip where the volume is its already outlined where the case fits up against the volume keys so its easy to cut out the thin strip but the key is to not cut yourself lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icyh3ll:
It seems like every time I reboot my phone I have to toggle the swype/touch input to get swype to work. I'm running Das BAMF 1.7 remix currently but had the same problem on 1.5, 1.6, and 1.6.2. Anybody else have the same issue and know a solution?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkybside:
True on stock too. I think thats just one of the swype beta bugs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icyh3ll:
Thanks for the info. I rooted this phone after having it for only a day so I can't really compare. The issue might be with the booting process as a whole for input. Anybody with slide-it have the same issues I wonder...?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdompor:
Is swype installed on your sd card? If so, it has to be loaded along with the rest of the sd contents after a boot. Move to the phone to fix it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icyh3ll:
Swype can't be installed on the SD card. The option is grayed out.

Hi, i have seen a lot of interesting launcher pro widgets skin and find it great but i can't seem to get to like the launcher pro interface (loved it on my phone but on a big tablet... ) So i were wondering if there would be a way to tweak (noob here) launcher pro so all the icons/app drawer could be really similar to stock honeycomb? or is there a way i could use the themed launcher pro widgets (made by bisto321) in the stock honeycomb?

Thanks a lot! :)

Oh and also, i have seen a couple of person having icons down their screen with only text (and more rectangular than square icons...) anyone know if it can be achieved in stock honeycomb?

thanks again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
not sure you are going to find a way to get a Launcher Pro / stock hybrid version yet.

As for text icons you should be able to find a pack of icons that would do the trick - try this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797194.

other text widgets can be created with apps like this -

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] URPREY:
I'm using ADW EX on mine and it's a huge improvement over the stock launcher.
[Epic 4G General] Tgrable:
Soo I will start out by saying my phone has never been dropped and I rarely use the keyboard but I'm having two issues... first my screen and keyboard wobble quite a bit expectually when I'm using the screen to text etc and it squeeks a little two.... second problem is I have burned in images on my phone.. expecially where the text box and numbers should be in my mms program.. these are still visible if trying to watch a movie for example... so my quest is how will sprint handle this... are they going to make me shell out a 100 for a new phone.. or will the replace/fix it free of charge.. I do pay the 8 a month for insurance fyi.

Thanks for any help you can provide
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I don't work for Sprint but your issues are ones I believe they would definitely charge the deductible for, if they agree to replace at all. Your problems arguably fall under 'normal wear & tear' since they don't hinder the normal operation of the phone. They're largely cosmetic.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'll say this: I dropped mine, its cracked at the bottom comparible to a spider web, and it crashes when the screen turns off, which requires a battery pull/reinsert to get back on agan, and sprnt said they'll replace it for the $100 deductible.

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i wouldnt mention the loose hinge,, as they will tell you it is cosmetic. the screen burn on the other hand, is an issue that should be covered. i had a bad burnt in image on mine and they gave me no hassles what so ever. they wwanted to replace the screen, witch i would have been fine with, but they didnt have any that day, so they just gave me a new in box replacement. ymmv. prolly get a refurb.

see my thread at ppcgeeks about it...

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
indeed. i spiderwebbed an evo about 3 weeks ago. 100 dollar deductible. i couldnt get anyone to even touch it. i wouldve ordered a screen and put it in myself, but it wouldve taken 3 weeks to get, cost 50 bucks and who knows the quality from hong kong. asurion was 100 dollars and i had a bnib replacement on my porch the next morning.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Nice, yeah I can't wait to get the new one. No more messed up hinge! And I'll probably get a case this time..

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Haven't gone in yet :( we're going to a store that 1 hour away, and my family is busy most of the time. They also have to look at my mom's lg rumor touch. It drops calls all the time. And I know all they're gonna do is "update" the prl and send us off with it, well that's what they're gonna try to do :p I tried to convince her to get the intercept, but she wouldn't listen(that ws when we only had evo, epic, and intercept at sprint)

Sorry to hijack but since its a TEP thread:

Will tep cover this?

Im gonna add a family line and get a new phone for me and give my epic to my mom, but the screen has 2 TINY chips (like . big) and I want it to be nice and perfect for her. I know screen replacement is free if under 1 inch, but will they replace it with such a little defect?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
They *should* since it is chipped. But you'll just have to go to a store and try it to be %100 sure.

[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Screens are not covered anymore if they have to be replaced. You don't have to go into a store to make a claim with asurion. If you know that it can't be fixed by a tech then just make the claim online at asurion.com just like insurance sprint never has to verify what's wrong with your phone in order to make a claim.
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
Wtf they won't cover screens anymore? I mean my issue was over a few months ago but that's exactly what I'm paying for. If I have to pay a deductible of 100 every single time....that's borderline to making it worth cancelling insurance after 1 year because you can just do an early upgrade if your gold. Such bs
[Epic 4G General] darksideauto:
you guys do realize these are like 400 dollar devices. why is it a big deal to pay a $100 bucks for a bnib device with next day shipping?
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
Stores will not replace your phone anymore. Must go through asurion online.

I dropped my phone and cracked it. Took it to store and they said yea has to be replaced. Paid 100.00 bucks. Made claim Thursday, got phone Monday. When I made claim said they were out of stock.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I am careful with my phone so I only do the $4 service plan. No deductible this way and I don't drop my phone.
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
What's the 4 dollar service plan get you if no deductible?
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Probably just in-store type repairs only. No lost/stolen and no screen replacement (due to being cracked).

That is my guess.
[Epic 4G General] Khemul:
Haven't read it in a while but that should be it basically. Warrant/defect repair stuff.

Insurance would cover everything else (at least it would effectively, since they don't really care what is wrong if you are paying the deductible).
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
they do replace screens just not ones with cracks larger than 1 inch... I was just curious if they'd replace a defect so small.

Whosdaman you should def show up right about meow ;)
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Maybe other phones but not these amoleds the whole reason they stopped in store replacing them is because they have a big shortage of them. Remember sammy is the only manufacturer of high quality screens right now. Which I believe that is changing. Also only a waist high drop will shatter the internal part of your screen making it useless so you with the $550.00 phone and $4 ins your crazy and will be sorry if you drop your phone today and have to go by one retail. I love my phone and was VERY carefull with it but it managed to slip out of my hands one day when I was going to plug it into my pc.
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
What is the difference between the 4 and the 8 dollar TEP?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
4 dollar is not tep.

tep= total equitment protection.

basically erp and espr combined.

what are erp and esrp you ask?

erp= equitment replacement program. i.e.: asurion

esrp= eqiptment service and repair program. i.e.: the tech behind the glass at the sprint store.

you can buy either independently of each other or as a package known as T.E.P.
[Epic 4G General] Krispy Joe:
I'm sorry but that's just not correct. I'm a service tech with Sprint and we'll replace your phone in-store if it's not water damaged or extremely damaged. We'll even replace "spiderweb" cracked Evo screens if we have the part for it, because it's a 10 minute fix and I get paid more to do a repair on a phone than I do to order one or refer you to Asurion. If you don't have insurance it's usually a $35 service charge to do a replacement, but if your phone is experiencing a known issue like the power port going out on your Evo and you don't have insurance, we get you a refurbished (All phones we get are, not sure about Asurion) one for free.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Thanks for such a detailed reply. Curious...do you replace screens with burn-in at no charge?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
3rd party or corperate?

[Epic 4G General] DexterDawg:
When did this change? It was only a few months ago that they changed the policy to replace the screen. I find it extremely hard to believe that in less than a year they would go from not doing to doing it and back again.
[Epic 4G General] Krispy Joe:
3rd party. Corporate stores follow the rules more closely, but indirect dealers have a little more wiggle room on the rules. :)

Yes. I haven't noticed any burn-in or backlight bleed on Epics though. Evos are notorious for it, however.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Well, thanks to a lot of use and the persistent top bar of TouchWiz, I've definitely got burn-in and am hardly the only one. Not the biggest deal and I may not take action but it's good to know the option is there. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dv8ed:
G2x doesn't have digital audio out through bottom USB charging port correct?

USB charging port is only for charging?

Trying to get possible sound out to my car stereo.

If I have to use headphone jacks that's fine just alot of ugly wires sticking out everywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
no but.....

no only audio out is through head phone jack..but also through DLNA that is good for home tv's computer and such at this time but Dlna is becoming very big and i did read an article a little while back sorry no idea where about them brining dlna to car stereo's but i dont think any are out yet.

Bluetooth Audio

If you have a car radio that supports Bluetooth, you could try to transmit audio from the phone that way.
[Quantum General] natethegreat12345:
Went to update my quantum with the nodo update and the phone reset during the update which screwed everything up... now everytime i try turning it on, it gets stuck on the LG boot screen and im forced to pull the battery.

already tried entering emergency download recovery and flashing the original firmware but its still stuck on the boot screen.

any advice anyone? im running out of ideas
[Quantum General] lmftmf:
Is your device in warranty?
[Quantum General] natethegreat12345:
no, i bought it off my friend cuz he hated wm7
[Quantum General] lmftmf:
"Try holding down Up+Down volume, then power up. If that doesn't work use a third finger to hold down the camera button, too." Have you tried that? Also i would try re-downloading the firmware file and the tool. As you said you are running out of ideas. i would maybe even try another computer if possible.
[Quantum General] EMMANUELR:
to my almost similar step, all this well, until after the upgrade. every time that has a work of a lot of capacity and it lasts a time in use he/she fades and it restarts.

when it arrives to a point that warms it turns off and it is with the logo to ascend and it doesn't ascend unless it removes him the battery.

I returned him to the origin state and you are formed it and the problem remained.

I returned with the node and it follows the problem, not you that it will be. not you that it recommends me and the same as the partner.

buy it for new ebay.

i take it the he is refering to your phone? and i think its an LG thing, most LG phones i know have reseting problems
[Quantum General] natethegreat12345:
did the volume down + power +camera button and got to a message saying "cold boot" and froze there
[Quantum General] lmftmf:
Sounds like a brick or semi brick maybe. Have you tried to use another computer? Or redownload the tool and firmware?
[Quantum General] argentocruz:
Can your friend get it fixed under warranty?
[Quantum General] poit57:
Have there been any updates to this issue? My phone was bricked during an update. I was able to successfully flash the factory ROM, but it was bricked again during the Mango update through Zune. I have tried reflashing the factory ROM as well as the Mango ROM, but my phone keeps freezing at the LG boot screen each time the flashing is complete.

I attempted the hard reset holding the volume and camera buttons, but that just makes my phone freeze with the words "Cold Boot" on the screen. I don't understand why flashing different ROMs is resulting in this same issue.
[Quantum General] Carini33:
I was having problems with my Quantum(not related), and att was sending me a Lumia replacment. Before I got rid of the phone I tried to flash the Tesla ROM to see if it worked since my wife also has a Quantum, but didn't want to experiment on hers... I noticed I could not get into download mode using the power/vol keys(only would go into cold boot). I had to use the spacebar on the keyboard while turning it on to get into the correct emergency download mode.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
I wanted to change the kernel from my P500 to solve the lag problem and get better overall performance.

I rooted the phone using gingerbreak 1.20

after that i installed from the market Rom manager restarted the phone, and i backup the phone from there.

After that I got stuck with my kernel replacement and I gave up and I wanted to reset the phone to default state. I didn't do anything to my phone.

I unrooted the phone and did the factory data reset.

Now when I reboot the phone and press power+volume down+home I still get the Clockworkmod Recovery boot menu. In an untouched P500 what do you get when pressing that combination? Is there any way to make my phone 100% factory state ?

sorry for my bad english
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
u should even delete the recovery.....(TO get rid of it)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
the recovery is on the sd card, right? i formated the sd card... so there is nothing related to rom manager...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
u must try flashing the default rom from the devlopment forum.(KDZ Updater)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
blah

if i wait for gingerbread update will the update solve this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
The Recovery is not on the sdcard.

Go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065197

and download the file "Original_Recovery_thunderg.zip" (or something to that effect) and flash it through cwm. This will restore the recovery as it was originally.

The zip is unsigned so you will have to toggle signature verification in cwm recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
@mihir he doen't want to get his recovery back(in other word he wants to remove it).

@devil the original recovery zip in the link will restore the condition of the recovery to factory condition, i.e remove it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
this android reminds me of installing windows 95 :)

the new unpdate to gingerbread will come out next month, so the update to 2.3 will get rid of that boot menu and other things that where changed when I installed Rom manager? in other words will the phone go to factory state before rooting/unrooting and stuff.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yeah most probably the recovery will be cleared if and when you update to gb. But if you want to clear it now use the zip, it works.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] r291:
I don't think you'll be able to update to GB from a custom ROM or rooted phone. Even if the option comes up, it is recommended to go back to stock state (without recovery and root) or else it might cause problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
i didn't installed any custom rom. the only thing I did was to root my phone using gingerbreak and then installed rom manager.

the only thing that changed to my phone is that now it has that boot menu clockworkmod.

now i unrooted my phone.

So it is not safe to make official update even if the only change is that i have on my phone clockworkmode?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
Step by step picture guide to completely restore to open-box state using KDZ updater :)

did this for thousands of times and if you are doubted in any steps feel free to ask me

btw for your question, an un-touched optimus one pressing the recovery combination will result in

a stable image of an android jumped out of a white-rectangular box

a bar at the bottom loading

but that's it, nothing more no matter how long you wait :)

Also for your updating question:

LG WONT recognize your phone with their official updating tool only when you are ROOTED (so of course when you perform any other steps after rooting, it wont either... e.g. installing custom recovery, flash roms etc)

BUT if you go back to the original thing with KDZ, LG will update anything for you :) -tested by myself!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
thank you for all the clarifications and the tutorial.

I will wait now for the new android 2.3 release and ill do the whole thing then.

It is possible after rooting and installing clockworkmod the phone to work slower?

It feels like the phone is responding slower or maybe is just me imagining things :).

hehe. nothing like that.

Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...

If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...
