[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleV:
Just go Here. I wrote a walk through for odin and heimdall, it includes links to get everything and a few threads for getting ED03 rom odin file from imnuts and how to go from dl09 odin modem to ed03 modem with zips and instructuins from naverbob. So after your done with this you have official ed03 fully binged and bloated without those rediculoius ota's that like to fail.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Dale v is correct...his post is actually one of the most detailed posts on how to use odin, heimdall, and flashing in general...when his O.P. says it will recover just about any "bricked" fascinate....it will...assuming you follow the directions correctly you'll be fine especially since you already have the ed03 radio you wont have to go through all the reverting ota'ing just to get the radio.

Thanks for all your help! I used the instructions DaleV provided and flashed back to ED03 using Odin. Worked flawlessly! I was then able to update OTA to ED04 and everything is working perfectly now.

I appreciate all your help guys!

i want to downgrade my droid x back to 2.1

i have the 30.04 bootloader
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It's impossible to downgrade to 2.1. You can, however, downgrade to 2.2 if you're on 2.3.
[Droid X General] familydude99:
oh really?

how can i do that.

and is it possible to go to 2.2 then 2.1
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
No, it's impossible to go to 2.1 overall. It uses a different bootloader version.
[Droid X General] familydude99:
oh many thanks,

yeah thats what i was thinking,

could you help me on making it go to 2.2 or refer me to a post.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Search for a '2.3.340 SBF' file, and a program called 'RSD Lite'.

Well to go with my dust thats under the screen today i got a nice dead pixel as well. I was in gmail and can see it on a white background. Im very sad that after a few days all this has happened to my phone. Returning it today but im scared to buy another one. What would u guys do?
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
I would swap it and get a free replacement
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Hey there. I got dust on my phone and in addition to that, i also realised that i got two dead pixels. So i was checking out this warranty statement that comes with the phone in the box.. correct me if i'm wrong.. as in the picture, does this mean that we can't get a repair/replacement due to dead pixels? Dead pixels mean dead spots right?
[HTC Sensation] cnraghu:
I swapped mine at Walmart last week due to 3 dead pixels. No questions asked after they saw the dead pixels.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
I see. I once saw online about htc australia's warranty policy saying about at least 3 dead pixels for a replacement or 2 dead pixels which r 5mm apart. I'll wait for another dead pixel, then i'll drop by at the customer service center for an exchange. Man, this phone is just perfect except the dust and dead pixels. Even harder when the owner is a perfectionist lol.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Hey lightforce, did u manage to swap ur phone due to a single dead pixel?
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I have held 4 Sensations and seen 2 dead pixels on one phone.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
my third sensation is perfect aside from having a column of about 3-5 stuck pixels. On a black screen, they appear red. Without any way to take a proper full backup of this device, I'm really getting tired of having to get replacement after replacement. Get it together HTC.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
single dead pixel here. keeping it. no other problems, very happy with the phone
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
With how inconsistent Sensations seem to be, you're making the right choice. Better to live with a tiny problem than risk having much more serious issues. I wish mine was dead, or that it was just one pixel. A column of bright red near the middle of the screen makes me want to punch things ;)
[HTC Sensation] jeffreynew23:
What does a dead pixel look like
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
same here. keeping it too.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
a dead pixel is like a pixel that does not light up at all. especially obvious when you are on a bright white screen, say on gmail or messaging app.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Expanding on that, because it's related, a stuck pixel is a pixel that lights up, but is stuck on, even when the screen should be black. Theoretically it could be any color, but usually it'll be just red/green/blue that are stuck.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
i posted this before and actually i only got one dead pixel, while the other one when looked closely is just a stuck pixel which can be gone over time lol. phewh.

and

odd

that my warranty statement that came with the box says..

"Due to no assurance of 100% free of dead or bright spots in the manufacturing process of LCD display thus far, please note that no warranty is granted for LCD display to be without dead/bright spots."

which is

similar

to the warranty statement for Windows Mobile which i got from here http://www.htc.com/sea/support/warranty.html

but when i compared to the warranty statement for Android which i also got from http://www.htc.com/sea/support/warranty.html, it says..

"Due to the complexity of liquid crystal displays on handheld

devices, dead or bright pixels may sometimes occur. If the

following occurs within DOA period, then you can ask to replace

the LCD at our authorized service centre.

(1) 3 or more dead/bright pixels (*) anywhere on the liquid

crystal display.

(2) If there are only 2 dead/bright pixels, then they must be

within 5mm of each other"

why would HTC provide warranty statement which is for Windows Mobile in an Android phone's packaging? odd right? my sensation is a SEA version too btw. check it out yourself if you have all the time like me lol.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
indeed ;) thank youss.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Oh yeah I forgot, there's an app for that! JScreenFix. Sucks to pay a few bucks to possibly be able to fix a manufacturing defect but oh well, just a few bucks. The app says to try it for 10 mins and get a refund if it doesn't work, how nice of them.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Paid apps are not shown in Asia :( so i tried apps called Pixel Curer and Pixel Fixer. they don't work. lol. i even tried to leave it overnight. blegh. is JScreenFix any better than other stuck pixel fixing apps? have u tried on your stuck pixels yet? if not, u can try the free ones first :) i hope u can get yours sorted out.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
I tried it for half an hour with no luck. I could try running it while I sleep but I only sleep for an hour or two at a time so it probably wouldn't be effective. :o
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Any luck this time?
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
I wish that dead pixels know how to 'play dead' so i would be left with a bit of hope. Lol. Cheers..
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
I have discovered 2 dead pixels on my screen yesterday, one is right in the middle of the screen near the top and the other is on the right hand side. Am i being petty if i try to get a replacement?
[HTC Sensation] ramis7:
Hi guys

I found a little problem in my phone, a minor dot of light blink(left side of the screen) every time when i touch the screen, when i use live wallpaper it clearly blink but when i use static wallpaper this light shows in black surface like apps pages and setting page clearly or when i use black wallpaper it shows also. when i use camera then this light also blink continuously. sometimes it is so annoying for me. i couldn't figure out exactly what is that, either it is a dead pixel or software problem. any idea please share with me?
[HTC Sensation] Dexter666:
Ive also found on my new sensations screen one black, very small dot (pixel or dust under glass? xD) visible on white/bright background, but those qhd pixels are so small that is almost invisible so i think im gonna keep this phone..
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
We're in the same shoes.. keeping mine as well. I was uneasy bout it but now i'm cool with it lol. But i'm curious.. did u notice it out of the box or after awhile?
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
It wont hurt to try.. ;) heheh.. but what i know, there must be at least 3 dead pixels anywhere on screen.. thats what the warranty statement says..
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Sounds like a stuck pixel to me.. or i could be wrong. The blinking part got me unsure..
[HTC Sensation] Dexter666:
Out of the box, when i started phone for first time, I put my face to the screen when htc logo came out and ding, I saw it.

I ve had jscreenfix app running whole night, but its not working. ;p
[HTC Sensation] sovereignty68:
i got them as well, dust and stuck pixel. it's hard to see at first, but once the screen is plain black, they all show up clearly.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
I mentioned previously that i got a dead pixel and some stuck pixels.. but i just realised that when i tilt the phone, the pixel that i thought was dead shines/shimmers.

Do dead pixels (black spots) supposed to shine to something bright when looked at other angles?
[HTC Sensation] jeffokada81:
I just wanted to contribute to the S'Stuck Pixel' list of unhappy Sensation users.... I am on my 3rd Sensation that tmobile has replaced for me. At least by reading this forum is seems pretty common but this is not exceptable to have a couple bright GREEN stuck pixels in the middle of my screen.

I am having tmobile replace my phone with the G2X. It seems too perform alot better with the Tegra2 processor even though, I know the screen resolution is lower, but the Sensation is not performing anywhere near how I was expecting a dual-core to perform even after OC and using Android Revolution ROM 3.0.3 with dual core patch.

Check out the Nenamark results.... G2X is on top... sorry getting off subject...

Its understandable to have dead pixels as this phone has a higher res then the 480x800... I will probably stick with AMOLED in the future and get the new 720p resolutions phone like the new LG shv-e120l or Nexus Prime.
[HTC Sensation] Ce_Lebi:
Clipped

Thanks. Those two wandered right into my web notes. Will try the screenfix right away.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

As of yesterday, I have one turquoise pixel in the lower middle of the screen. It shows up on darker backgrounds. The jscreentest app also shows this on the darker testscreens, but after one or two seconds the stuck pixel fades away into the background and isn't turquoise any more. Is this a new one? What does jscreentest do that the other darker screens don't?
[HTC Sensation] dfairlite:
Most displays come with a clause saying they won't replace a display for anything less than x amount of dead pixels. However, if you complain enough or you have another problem (such as dust under the screen) they will likely replace it anyway.
[HTC Sensation] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:
dead pixels ? not only two or three for me!!! :(....

Hi Guys,

is this the same thing which we are talking about in this thread? dead pixels?

what do you suggest ? any guidance? is there any way to repair this by myself?
[HTC Sensation] Splder:
So I had a stuck pixel today red on black screens at top left on the first line of pixles I tryed some pixel fixing apps with no luck then I fully charged my sensation it was still there then I started browsing the web in landscape mode scrolling up and down then I looked and it was gone :)

I'm happy again so I'm posting this to tell you guys that there is a chance that it can go away and I hope mine don't come back
[HTC Sensation] blackejack:
im having the same prob ,, later it formed a shape os a circle :\\

any remedy ? my warranty is over
[HTC Sensation] blackejack:

You can replace the screen yourself. It is a long process but can be done but besides that there isn't a way to fix it if our of warranty

Hi,

I was wondering, would it be possible to to make a script or something to make the lights of the softkeys always come on when the screen is on?

Now these softkeys only light up if you're in a dark environment.

Greetings
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
The custom Rom I'm using (see my Sig) has much better configuration of the levels that bring on the soft keys backlight. I'm currently sat in a well lit room on a sunny afternoon, and the backlight is still on.
[HTC Desire S] Keon91:
Mine is still s-on, so a custom rom isn't posible at this time..

I'm looking for other options.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, if you turn off the auto brightness of the display it will always light the soft keys.. at least for me its always on when screen on
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Doesn't work, isn't the answer unfortunately
[HTC Desire S] limestone:
found the solution. you gotta root your phone for it though... download "keyboard backlight controller" from the market.

MODS if possible, can this be mirrored in the D2 section?

Hi all,

I would love the TouchWiz Launcher to be ported to D2G, all copies I find online either crash when I hit menu on the main screen, or have the text cut off. I know this has been modded for the X, so I don't see it as being a horrible task.

Please let me know if this can be done, it would be greatly appreciated!

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MOUSEY:
Hi all,

Since HC3.1 starts supporting gaming controllers, what other native games (non-emulator) have you found working with your PS3/XBox controller with your TF ?

Here's the working list for PS3 via USB

1) Cordy

2) Gem Miner: Dig deeper (R d-pad or analog to move, L3 to deploy ladder)

3) Pinball by Magma Mobile games (Map-able keys but only runs on potrait mode)

4) Amageddonoid (Fully functional but small screen play)

5) Grave Digger Full & Free (DPad to control, Circle to dig)

6) Battle Bears Lite - Xperia play (Playable - Almost all keys working need to investigate further)

7) Zenonia 2 (All except special binded actions doesn't work; need to press on screen to activate - fair I guess)

I'm testing and will update here of my findings, please contribute if you had found any. Your best bet is to look for games that had been optimized for Xperia Play gamepad (or just Xperia Play).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] scar45:
Quick side Q on this...

Was anyone able to get their X360/PS3 pad working wirelessly? With the x360, you'd need to USB-to-PC receiver, and I have one but wasn't able to get it going. Otherwise, maybe the PS3 one would work wirelessly?

I also tried my Play N Charge cable for my x360 controller, but that didn't work either (reported that said cable does not supply data, only current).

So, I guess what I'm asking is...Is the only way to get X360/PS3 controllers working is if you wire them into the USB port on the dock? If it's an X360 pad, of course you would need a traditional wired version I also assume.

Failing these pads, I'm still going to try to get a Datel Retro Wii Classic Wireless pad, but they're sold out everywhere!

(didn't mean to bring this off-topic, but to answer your Q, I can only backup your report of Cordy. It works for me with my WiiMote)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] earlyberd:
I've only played Cordy with a controller, and it didn't seem to like my USB Saturn pad. Considering that 3.1 is brand new, I doubt developers have been given enough time to start adding support for gamepads, and even then I'm still not even sure if it will be a popular feature. The Acer Iconia is the only Honeycomb tablet that has a standard USB port on the tablet itself, while the Transformer requires the keyboard dock and the Xoom needs an adapter, and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn't even support an adapter.

I think gamepad support is going to be isolated to emulators for a while, at least until a major developer decides to build a high-profile game that is best played with a controller. But even then there's the issue of building a game around the requirement that the consumer go out and buy a third party accessory. Consumers are historically stubborn and lazy, and will often refuse to purchase extra peripherals for gaming systems if they can get away with using the included controls on the system.

PCs don't often see ports of high profile console games because the developers lose a lot of sales by trying to force the consumers to buy an extra game controller to play their game, and those that plan on doing without expect that the developers are going to make the game playable on keyboard/mouse anyway. The same principle would apply to tablets and phones, wherein consumers are going to expect to be able to play all games simply by using the accelerometer and touch screen. It's tough to sell a game that needs extra peripherals, especially when you don't have the support of a major game company like Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. Using existing gamepads is a great feature, but there's no way to enforce the usage of one particular gamepad unless someone offers a game and gamepad together in a single bundle.

Only time will tell if gamepads are going to become more popular on Android.

I use my keyboard dock for all USB devices, so I can't comment on the wireless capabilities for 360/PS3 controllers. I do know though that Datel's wireless Wii controller is available directly from the Codejunkies website.

Edit: I just noticed the controller is out of stock. That makes me sad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MOUSEY:
I noticed that the controller maps to the direction keys as well. For example, I remember trying to use the controller to scroll to the next home screen in launcher pro. Hence if there are games that uses the direction keys on an android device that has keyboard (i.e. G1), there may be chance that we can use controller to control the game instead.

Btw, I mean it's wired controlled, not wireless...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
for sure i am not going to trade up my Infuse for that. other than dual core, ehh not really worth it. looks the same, probably will function the same, and you cant beat the Infuse's 4.5" screen, my next phone shall be one of the following

1) LG Thrill 4G

2) HTC Holiday

3) iPhone 4Gs/5 whatever the hell it will be called

4) or a kick ass android with a key board...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well the attain/sgs2 has some more to offer, like it can mount external storage via the usb port. it has more position sensors(accelerometers, gyroscpoes,magnetometers) so it is more sensitive to position changes and that is used in the tw4 ui to use motion gestures to navigate the phone. it's dual core also smokes the tegra2 in benchmarks ('cept graphics were it is a small difference). im not sure if all that power is needed but it plays and records 1080p h.264 files at a greater bitrate (hummingbird already does that better than the tegra so this is even better than that) it also has built in security features some models have an option for nfc(dont think the attain has it because it is very thin, samsung said there is thickness difference for the nfc model) and im sure there are other differences.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
i think the infuse does a pretty good job at at graphics and all, i was playing N.O.V.A. 2 HD today no lag and graphics were awesome. and fore the other stuff, im sure a rom can make it catch up to 1080p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
If that is indeed AT&T's version, I'm really excited. I love everything about the GSII except the physical home button :). That's definitely my next device. And once the developers get a hold of it, it'll be even better...

AT&T always seems to have the more attractive of the GS devices. I owned the Captivate and I think it was by far the most physically appealing iteration of the GS. Hopefully the trend continues and their version will appeal to me more than the other ones.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] silverwolf0:
Both Pocketnow and Engadget are saying it is an SGS2. I'm not wholly convinced, and I don't know what Pocketnow is talking about with the power button proving it because they look similar to me, but all versions of the original Galaxy S had a search button and no phyisical middle home button in the US so that means this can be either the Infuse or the SGS2 going by the capacitive buttons alone.

And what are you people talking about a trackpad? If you mean the big middle button, its just a button for the homescreen. Nothing else. You can use that big button to answer calls as well, so I would much rather they kept the button.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
it could be. guess we will have to wait.

im not going to lie tho, the Infuse is a sexy ass device...

it has a real nice color scheme to it with its textured back

only thing screwing this up is the AT&T & Sammy logos but dam pure black slate.

i had my iPod (4G) and the Infuse laying next to each other and the infuse by far is a sexy ass device.

I want to see what apple is going to come up with next.
