My son put a cool hard case on his. Maybe that is why he's had no death grip issues. Cool case.....wish the G2x had it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
It most be so cool to have a dad that likes technology and are on xda as you sir.

May I ask how old are you?

Sent from my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I agree.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I'm 57...as of this past Friday. I have been involved with Technology for the last 18+ yrs to include the last 6+ in Mobile Technology. I stood my son up in front of a computer at the age of 18 months...and he did the rest by himself...to include as many betas that involved kids as I could find. My arsenal of phones include the G2x, Sensation, Cliq, My touch, Nexus One, Dell Venue Prod, HD7, HD2, Sony Experia SE1, and many, many other Windows Phone 6.x phones.

My kids always get my leftovers...and I change phones every 4-6 months.....

hahaha that's great! I'm going to be 36 in sept. Happy belated b-day! When my ex-wife was pregnant I use to talk tech language to her belly.. hahaha I would talk about Visual Baisc, or Java. Before she could even walk she was clicking around on the computer. She once deleted a lot of my stuff by accident. I was pissed, but it was cute.. My daughter is now 13 and is a tech junkie like me :) She has a g2x and she is only 13! lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
lol that is kick ass to have a dad like that..." dad did u try fauxs new kernel its really stable" , no son i have morfics uv kernel on, lol sorry had too that is cool tho :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
You know....its funny....but he never did like phones too much. He was involved in Competitive Tae Kwon Do and had to travel with teams and such. So we got him a phone. He wanted something simple....a free flip. One day I came home original iPhone. Cute phone..it wore off fast. But he was due for an upgrade...and asked him what he wanted....he thought about it and said...that iPhone. I handed it to him and my iPhone days were over. But his smart phone days just started.

When the Nexus One came out....I ordered mine 2 minutes after it went online. I accidentally clicked 2 instead of 1. How ....no idea. Anyway I had 2 N1's. He offered to buy it from me...I split the price with him. A few months later we sat down and figured out how to root it...loaded some Paul O'Brien roms, etc...but he never stopped playing...

Now he works for VZW customer support. He gets to see all of the vzw stuff when it comes out....gets the inside scoops, etc. He's tended to lean to the N1 style phones in the recent years.....and HTC model was his favorite....so the sensation was a good fit for him....he knows what he wants... he said to me last night...so...when we gonna root these babies....meaning my g2x and his sensation....I reminded him about the locked bootloader...he shrugged his shoulders and was looking at the G2x. Had that Iphone look in his eyes again.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
+1 thats awesome!!! your g2x isnt rooted?......you do know its literally one click after installing a few drivers rite??? i mean im not trying to get u hyped up or nothing............root............root............root...lol nah your a good guy alodar1 i enjoy reading your posts:cool:

I Have Both As Well, & I agree 110%

i'm starting to lose faith in the Snapdragon DualCore Processor :-(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Not yet...still within the buyers remorse period....and still testing other phones. When I finally decide on a phone....then the root will be there....already have downloaded the files and ready to go. Been flashing on XDA for 4yrs now...have spent a hefty sum in donations....to keep the chefs going. So once a decision is made on a phone...i will partake of the spoils of Android....and XDA once again....

I bought through amazon so I have 30 days....

[XPERIA X10 General] Windst:
I love my x10 and today at work I noticed to scratches on my screen protector at an angle were really two long cracks. I can't see them easily unless I tilt the phone or turn the screen off. Its going to annoy me, I'm afraid the cracks will grow. Its an excuse to get an sg2, but I love my x10

Anyone else ever get a scratch or crack that was enough to have you waste money on a new phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Remove your screen protector to see if it's a ''crack'' and not a very deep scratch.
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
I haven't had it(knock on wood) but I've seen people reporting weird cracks
[XPERIA X10 General] Windst:
I did. It could be a deep scratch but it glares. I feel like its my girlfriend who just gained 200 pounds.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Have you removed the factory applied screen protector?

It is VERY thick, so if you haven't, they are probably just scratches,

your screen should be intact.

In my experience the screen itself is very durable.

Are you by any chance looking for an excuse to buy the SGS II? :p

I feel for you, I played with it yesterday and it is great! :D

EDIT: Just read your above post. Sorry, I understand how you feel...

Maybe you could replace the digitiser but they are expensive and quite a hassle to do it right.

There's a disassembly guide here, maybe it will help you if you decide to do so.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Who cares, just buy the SGS2 now your x10 is messed up :p :cool::cool::cool::cool:

Now serious:

You should do what Immortal says if you want or else the non-serious advice from me in this reply.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
scratch/cracks not covered by warranty unless you have the insurance option. You can talk them out of the $50 fee, I did.
[XPERIA X10 General] speeee:
I too have a crack in my screen which runs from the the mid left of the screen arcing down towards the middle where the words Xperia are written

To me this seems like the crack is actually underneath the screen, as it cannot be felt or scratched at,

Here is a photo (apologies for the poor quality) my x10 is the only camera i have =P
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
WOW... :eek: :eek: :eek:

How did this happen, if I may ask?
[XPERIA X10 General] jaykeeley:
Mine looks the same but the digitizer is cracked on mine and the touchscreen doesn't work any more :(

If yours is still working, count yourself lucky? :P

Or take it apart and see if its the screen, lcd or screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 General] innov:
Is the digitizer part still intact? you can try to disassemble them and look the crack if it's in the outer glass or worse, and if you're lucky you may only need to replace to housing. I've seen many OEM housing in online hk store that sold complete housing (excluding the buttons and usb cover cap) for about US$ 23 and it may cost less than having to buy a full new phone like SGS II :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Windst:
just like mine, mine ended up going all the way accross. cant be felt, and not noticable at the right angle, but ver noticable at angles or when the screen is off
[XPERIA X10 General] Greenycq20:
eBay new digitizer and swap it over only like $70 thats with full front housing and all tools
[XPERIA X10 General] speeee:
my screen still works surprisingly well considering how graphic the crack looks, as i said I think its whatever is underneath the screen that has cracked, im quite thankful that i recently took out insurance on the phone before the crack happened so i guess I'm safe if it gets any worse

the crack was caused by a brief trip down the stairs which my X10 took =/
[XPERIA X10 General] rsabdul:
buy a screen replacement from ebay

Yeah change the digiticer part done that my self its absolutly doable (dont read easy)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wad3g:
My Dad is a editor and is thinking about picking up a tablet. I have a few questions, hopefully someone may be able to help me.

1. Could you draw/make changes to a word document? The same as using a pen to edit a paper - you get the idea.

2. Would you be able to save that document and all the changes made?

Any information would be extremely helpful.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
As an editor, I can say "yes" you can do all those things.

Also as an editor I can say definitively that you don't want to. It's slow, buggy, and the software is expensive and doesn't do half the things you're used to in the full versions. I tried doing work on my xoom (with a mouse, keyboard, and dock) for about an hour before I realized that it's just not there yet; the tech is too new. Get a laptop for work. Touch interface is great for navigating an OS, fun for games, OK for web browsing, but it sucks for any type of word processing or real productivity.

I say this even though I really like my xoom, but I'd never use it for productivity. The tech is still too young to be optimized the way that windows7 or a mac are. At some point there will be a 15.6" touchscreen windows7 laptop with a removable screen (like the transformer). If your dad really needs a machine for productivity but wants a tablet, this is what he'll want (it's what I want!)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wad3g:
Thanks for all the information. I'll be sure to let him know everything you've said.

Laptops aren't an issue, we have plenty of those lying around here. My parent's have been traveling a decent bit lately, going out of town for a week or so at a time every few weeks and he had been complaining about having to carry around large manuscripts all the time.

I figured the technology may be too new, but it really could have been great for mobility and potential money savings with not paying for paper, toner, and shipping.

That laptop sounds pretty sweet. Is it just in a conceptual phase and several years from production? I'll definitely pass on this information too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrisngrod:
Looks like this device won't boot into anything where I can hard reset it.

I might be in trouble....

Volume down and power is posted on many sites that aren't reliable.

Volume down and up plus power get you in some download mode.

Volume up and power does something else also... Forgot at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

**update** kyocera echo hard reset!!!!

for some reason the down and power doesnt work...

volume up and power enters fastboot mode...

**alternate hard reset**

!!!MAKE SURE YOUR ADB IS SET-UP FIRST :) !!!!

PS - make sure all drivers of the kyocera echo are installed first!!!!

here you go: w w w. echo by kyocera . com / support / downloads /

after all that is done...phone off, hold volume up and power..the kyocera screen will come up, after it does let go of the buttons and PLUG YOUR USB IN COMPUTER AND PHONE, windows will automatically install the drivers and ready to go. open command prompt and search for your adb>tools folder and run <fastboot devices> to make sure the phone is connected...after run <fastboot -w> and this will erase all user data and cache...the <fastboot reboot> and their you go... HARD RESET!!! your welcome :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] intrlude:
I seemingly was able to complete these steps.

Here's what's going on, the Echo was updated to the latest available update and now won't boot past the Kyocera initial screen. When I entered the <fastboot devices> the return I got was a "?" mark.

Addendum: Sorry for resurrecting a dead thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 2173701:
yeah even if it has a ? under fastboot thats perfect. fastboot -w works perfectly!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gkblaze:
i need help. iv connected the echo to the computer and pulled up command prompt but i dont kno wat i should do after that. i really need the help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gkblaze:
ok i did everything exactly as u said(took all day to get it right and download and install eveything i needed XD) and after i fastboot reboot the phone reboots but its still stuck at the kyocera screen
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pctech101:
Here is what worked for me.

Power Off, cable disconnected.

Press and hold volume up, press power button.

Phone should boot to kyocera logo.

Plug in cable. Should load drivers and be connectable via fastboot

Check if fastboot is connected: fastboot devices

I got response of: ? Fastboot

Issue command from above poster: fastboot -w

Now issue: fastboot reboot

kind of a repeat from above poster. Just verifying the method worked for me...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DayDaysTech:
how do i use the command prompt? can i get a step by step? im using windows 7
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DayDaysTech:
where would i find "search for your adb>tools folder " what do i have to type to find it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plantman60:
you guys are geniuses!

I mean it--I bought a locked echo on ebay for $30, followed your instructions, and boom! I've got a clean echo to play with.

Thank you all!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kyoceraecho_noob:
Sorry guys but I have a similar question: If I root my Echo running Froyo 2.2.1 using z4root and i press "unroot" within the z4root application and then do a hard reset will my phone return to stock?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kap10jam3z:
noob

im super unclear on the command prompt parts of the walkthrough... could anyone possibly type them exactly the way i need to enter them? i made sure that i installed the adb directly to the c:/, im pretty tech savvy ive just never messed around with the command prompt window cause i dont want to screw my computer up with anything lol thanks in advance to anyone who can answer

edit: if its already answered somewhere i cant find it, i searched the wiki and everything, if someone could post a link to it thatd be cool too
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zerotechservice:
can you guys teach us step by step on how to use that in cmd
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lexcell:
You're kidding right? He placed it out as well as anyone ever can and as good as a 5 year old could do it. Once in fastboot just open your command prompt, then command to the ADB directory (example cd\android-sdk\tools), then just type "fastboot devices" then type "fastboot -w". Hopefully needless to say, that is without the quotes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rezoundness:
i cant get the drivers to work for usb modem. i downloaded the drivers from kyocera and it wont take them. i tried the drivers from data pilot and it goes to installs and then it freaks out and says problem installing....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] txflood:
Hi, I have an Echo that was working until a few days ago. There was some update applied and now it just hangs on startup with a frozen Kyocera screen. I tried the the steps listed above. Here is what I got at each step at the command prompt:

C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices

? fastboot

C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -w

erasing 'userdata'...

OKAY [ 2.128s]

formatting 'userdata' partition...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type not supported.

OKAY [ 0.019s]

erasing 'cache'...

OKAY [ 0.104s]

formatting 'cache' partition...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type not supported.

OKAY [ 0.020s]

finished. total time: 2.280s

C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot reboot

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.002s

The phone did reboot at this step but again still froze on the logo screen. Is there anything else to try?

Mine did the exact same thing. its still stuck on the kyocera logo screen. I hope someone who knows comments again in this thread cus i like my phone. Did you get it fixed?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kr1sk0_a:
hey guys i have several questions i hope there will be no problem with me making this thread and u can help me.

First somewhere i've read about increasing incall volume but i lost it so anyone who knows how it's done please tell me.

Second: Is there a way to explore my sd card cuz now i put alot of documents there and i can't use them.I have hp micro sd card 8 gb.I use advanced explorer but i can't access the sd card.

Is there a way to enabled full capacity of the battery.i've read (somewhere again xD) that wp7 on hd2 don't let the battery to be fully charged and i'm wondering if there is a solution to this problem already.

I think that's all i'm sorry if you think it's alot but i'm new to the wp7 community and i want to use my phone properly with wp7 because i like the OS very much.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] motionz:
Hi.

1. Never had this problem so google if you do.

2.If you put all your files before flashing wp7 you lost those as sd card was formated.

3.The battery is charged to full capacity however it can sometimes show the false value.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kr1sk0_a:
it's not a problem i just want to make it louder for my convinience .About the sd card i know that it's been formated when wp7 is installed but now i can't access it .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pakure:
to access sd files( if you want??), use touch explorer ..search for it

to increase in call volume...press the volume up button "during" a call...maximum value is 10

yes, the battery sometimes shows false value..you have to live with it..there is a registry tweak to make the icon show an appropriate reading...use htc battery tool for accurate results (it also, sometimes shows incorrect value after a full charge..restart phone.... done)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kr1sk0_a:
10x but i think u can not understand me.I know that with touchexplorer u can search your files but the problem is that even with it i can't access my sd card i assume it's compatibility problem although the OS runs smooth .And about the incall volume i knew that i'm not stupid xd.I'm asking about a way to increase it to 15.I read in a thread about a way but now i can't find this thread .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:

That SD card has been formatted and is now part of the operating system's memory bank. Consider it an extension of the page file. It's not "explorable" like it used to be. Those documents are gone and you can no longer directly write to or read from that card. Your phone's memory and that SD card are now all one piece.

I've been smashing my head against a brick wall for the past week.

I've been reading, downloading, installing, reading, uninstalling, updating, reading and punching myself in the face for far too long.

Right now I'm at the point where I'm either going to jump off a roof or destroy every piece of technology in my house with a hammer.

All I need - is somebody to talk to to give me a helping hand. I've gone too long just sitting here trying to figure it out, with all your broken links, complicated theories and insane lengths to change one icon.

Why is it so frustrating? Because what I want to do should be so simple, or it should be...

I have a Nexus S i9020, using ADW Launcher with CyanogenMod 7.0.3-NS.

All I want to do is:

-Change the icons in the Icon drawer

-Make a new status bar

-Change the color of the batter/WiFi/GPS/3G etc in the status bar.

In a perfect world this would mean replacing a few PNG images and being on my way.

But oh no - 6 days later and a LOT of frustration later - I have achieved nothing. I've watched too many youtube video's to count, and right now I just need somebody to simplify it all and give me a hand.

:(

Can anybody point me in the direction of a detailed, easy, step by step guide which explains everything? Because NONE of the pinned threads have helped me, and I have to wait until I get 8 posts before I can print screen what is happening and try to explain it properly.

Or can somebody just give me a helping hand?

Since you're on CyanogenMod7, you can make a theme chooser APK. It's really quite simple.

I got to the summary page, and I don't understand any of it. I feel like giving up right now.

At the end it was asking me to upload things, edit binary, I just have no idea where to start.

I need a 'theming for dummies' book. Seriously I know NOTHING about ANYTHING in this area.
[Android Themes] sam87:
What you need to upload is in your rom.zip unzip it and look in app, you should have some apk's there that uot is asking for
[Android Themes] iamthebigcheeze:
Go from left to right on the tabs up top (battery, icons, etc.) and pick whatever you want to use. When you get to the file upload tab, click system files in the right column and upload the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your ROM. When they've finished uploading, go to the summary tab. If any of the items listed are in an orange box, they were done incorrectly. Go back to them and finish. If they're all green, hit 'Submit work to kitchen' and wait for it to finish (it can take a while). Take the zip it makes for you and flash in recovery.

To get the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your ROM, open the ROM in Winzip, 7Zip, or whatever you want to use. framework-res.apk is located in system/framework and systemui.apk is located in system/app.
[Android Themes] rcummings100:
When he says it can take a while, he really means it. The first time I used the theme kitchen I was waiting for 30 minutes and was convinced something had gone wrong. During peak hours it can really take a long time, especially if you're creating multiple elements. So just be patient about it after you've submitted the theme for creation.

Also, make sure you take a nandroid backup before flashing anything to your device. Better to be safe than sorry! Nandroid has saved my behind more times than I can count.
