[Atrix 4G General] Singhman:
I am about to buy an unlocked atrix and was wondering if it can be locked again? I am with Bell, and the phone was bought from a Bell certified store, but the owner unlocked it, and therefore the warranty will not be covered. If down the road, I send it in for repairs directly to motorola, do they even care that the phone was once locked to Bell, but is now unlocked? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
Unlocking does not void warranty. Also you cant lock an unlocked phone
[Atrix 4G General] asesino:
+1 warranty wont be voided cause of that.In fact many carriers give away the unlocking code is ur account is in good standards.

Hi everyone,

I recently acquired an X10 and first thing to do was, of course, upgrade to froyo. Although, frustratingly I am not having any luck with any custom roms. All present the same problem: the phone boots to launcher, will stay on for 3/4 seconds and then crashes and reboots. I've followed instructions accordingly and made sure to have the correct baseband but to my demise, still no luck.

Is this a common problem with this phone? Anyone know anything that I can try? I'm ripping out my hair here, and getting very fed up with this phone!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Most reboot once or twice upon launch but then its fine. U need to be patient

[XPERIA X10 General] ahmedre:
I waited as you suggested but it just keeps on rebooting countless times until the battery eventually ran out. Could it be a hardware problem of some sort?
[XPERIA X10 General] ironjose:
Thats a tipical problemwhen you got the wrong baseband instaled.

Flash the correct baseband for the ROM you are trying to use.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ferrum Master:
Do a clean flash with seus, then use flashtool to root and xrec. Or try to flash a plain baseband file from the collection, also afterwards clean dalvik cache.

The SE update (stock) rom is BB 54. I tried Achotjan rom on bb 54 and same problems. I also tried TWlauncher Ultima 4 flashed on BB 52 and still had the same problems. This may be a silly question but is there a suggested BB to use? Is a higher BB better than a lower one? I didn't have this much problem flashing my Milestone :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Hey man the rom tells you which baseband is best. Read the instructions. If you have the same problem. Then boot into recovery and flash cobratos baseband patch

hello, i have a couple of scrtaches on my nexus one body. is there any product that can remove them?

your help is appreciated

thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] kuljit55:
Best bet go in to a car shop which have loads of paint, ask the guy what he thinks the best match would be, buy smallest bottle and spray sum in a tiny plastic cup, get an earbud, add a very small amount of paint on the bud from the cup, den dab on a clean area of the cup to remove 90% of paint from ear bud, so there's a extremely tiny amount on it then rub on smoothly on discolored areas.

Tip. Buy smallest bottle as very little is required.

/ Go 0.5 shade lighter/ use mixing compound once dried to blend paint very cheap 2$ can get from any car/paint shop rub on with lint free towel./do this only on front metal bit of phone as this will look stupid on plastic, ps. you can buy a plastic battery back cover from eBay for $7 from china

hit the thanks button... thanks

Have you done this? Does it end up looking OK? Do you happen to have any before or after pictures?

[Nexus One Accessories] kuljit55:
i have tried this on a slight chip of paint. it worked very well, i can show an after photo but i did not take any before. but i would only do this if you can find a very simular shade like a could. make sure u test the shade first on somthing metal to see final colour. show the shop keeper your phone and say i need this colour. s/he should have expertese on best colour available

Why don't you just change the housing is like 40 bucks My Nexus One ended up looking new. I already polish the old housing I just need cream to make it shine and I'm gonna paint the back door white and the bottom too maybe this weekend. this is the cheapest housing on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Housing-battery...796?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a659866e4 32.00 bucks.
[Nexus One Accessories] styndall:
I'm actually way too much of a wuss to consider changing the housing...at least for now.

Way back when I had a Moto Razr vx3 or something and I attempted to change the housing and messed up on putting it back on and a corner of it was always loose.

Anyway, my Nexus One only has two tiny scratches just below the search hard key...not really worth it to change the entire housing. Though perhaps I could pick up a spare housing set in case something were to happen in the future.
[Nexus One Accessories] bassmadrigal:
Unfortunately, since our N1s have a kinda brushed look to them, there isn't a way to get rid of the scratches without it being more noticeable than the scratch itself.

There was someone who ended up completely polishing his N1 until it was a mirrored finish... I saw the pictures on here a few months ago.
[Nexus One Accessories] josemedina1983:
yeah that is what made me polish the housing but I been so busy to even finish, He did a incredible job too

[General Questions and Answers] Chemdawg:
Just a little background. As of now, I am a verizon customer with a droid X. I used to have the HTC incredible, but I found the battery life horrible, and I got a great deal on the Droid X. I love the X, but I need something with Global Capabilitites. Here's why.

Come October, I mobilize with the army for Afghanistan. I am looking for a Phone and a plan that will give me good international service. I was thinking of just purchasing a Droid 2, or the HTC incredible 2, and adding the 3.99 plan for texting. However, I thought about it, and I'm looking for thoughts on this.

What phone service provides the best International coverage/plans/rates?

What phone is a great phone that is multiband and by what provider?

I like the Android phones, so please no blackberry's... And if you have something to add, please let me know why you like that particular service, or phone.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I might be getting a defy end of the month on orange uk.

currently have a galaxy s on miui.

So on to the questions.

Latest stock orange rom version 2.1 or 2.2 ( can't image 2.3 is out)?

Lastest debranded stock rom?

What is the battery like on stock? Galaxy s is way to low.

I will most likely put miui or cm7 on it just want to know current official support levels.

Sent from my Tablet
[Defy General] Deonix:
You will get a Good CM7 flavour. CM7 is RCO now for Defy. Android 2.3.4. Will probably be RC1 by the end of the month. MIUI < not so great, yet as it's been out for a short time.

Still, CM7 is verry good, very used, great feedback on the forum. 2000-2300 on Quadrant Standard @ 1000 mhz. If your Defy will have Led Lense it will be capable of HD 720 Recording.

There are 2 different versions of defy camera modules out. Older Green Lense (Not HD Capable) and Newer Red Lense( HD Capable). So that's a bonus. Here how the lense show up> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116694 maybe you find one with Red lenses.

Battery< depends how you use it. 1-2 days of normal ( that includes internet over 3G/wlan/ GPS/ Calls, browsing/ gaming/ music) all moderately used with Data Sync and 3G turned off-used only when internet needed.

More internet/phone/Wlan 3G use = somewhere between 14-24 hours of use. i don't have data sync and 3G active all day, battery should drain faster. Still it should get you 10-14 hours. That's for me. I can say the battery is not bad.

Original stock Orange, i think 2.2. There is a new "out of the blue" official 2.3.3 leak with new MotoBlur and but it only works with Red Lenses. Still CM7 works the best.

Hope i helped. If i have mistaken some facts please someone correct them.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I do not take any responsibility to what you do with this, if you brick your phone, that is not my fault, you must understand what this tool is and how to use it. This CONTAINS a bootloader and can brick your phone if you flash this coming from GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS (i9000-->JVB, JVO, ect. Captivate-->KF1)

First of all, this must be credited to C3P0LOL, as he is the one that first uploaded this a long time ago for the unlucky people that had their 3 button combos removed.

The reason I'm posting this is because of the fact that for me being a Build 1010, when I use Odin One Click it frys my 3 Button Combo, and it wont boot, thus I need to use a jig to flash again with Odin and the JH2 firmare, and then use the One Click Root Me tool to then get ROM Manager, which will then get me the 3 Button Fix.zip I flash from there.

^^So obviously from reading that, that's a 20-30 minute process just to get the 3 button combo...

WARNING:

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM STOCK GINGERBREAD WHETHER IT BE i9000 or the new Captivate KF1 bootloaders you MUST FLASH Odin-One Click, to flash your bootloaders back to stock

WARNING #2:

FLASHING BOOTLOADERS CAN BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL AND ESPECIALLY ONLY FLASHING ONE (*SBL in this situation). THIS IS SIMILAR TO IF YOU WERE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK WITH ODIN ONE CLICK BUT JUST REMEMBER YOU CANNOT

FLASH THIS FIRST COMING FROM GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADER IT WILL COMPLETELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.

After you flash Odin One Click and your 3 Button Combo is disable flash the below .TAR File with the Odin from the link below and the .512 PIT file from below and you'll be on stock 2.1 JF6 with the 3 Button Combo.

How too flash coming from Gingerbread Bootloaders:

Step 1: View attachment 632381

Step 2: View attachment 632382 ***Note name change the new name of the .tar file is: PDA fix.tar***

For Build 1010's [+] that CANNOT use Odin One Click and coming from GB Bootloaders

1. Flash Back to stock with Odin One Click to get the 2.1 Bootlaoders

2. While your stuck in the boot loop use a jig to get your phone back into download mode.

2.1: You can build your own JIG

2.2 Or you could buy one from MobileTechVideos

3. Open Odin from below and put the .512 pit into the PIT, and the PDA fix.tar file in to the PDA

4. Click Start

5. Voila you will be on stock JF6 with 3 Button Combo working.

Again I understand that this may not be super helpful anymore but I have noticed a lot of people including myself are wondering where the 3 Button Fixed Odin is, well here it is hope you enjoy!

Again one more time ALL CREDIT GOES TO DESIGNGEARS FOR CREATING THE 3 BUTTON FIX.zip and C3P0LOL for creating this extremely helpful 3 Button Fixed JF6.tar

Download link will be courtesy of

echelonMCRhartgrenade

. Thank you so much, mine just wouldnt upload, but here it is:

***I also attached the 3 Button Fix.ZIP that you can flash through CWM, again DO NOT FLASH THAT .ZIP WHILE ON GB Bootloaders***

Thank you! But again I am super sorry I posted the thread and it should have finished in what MegaUpload said 15 minutes.

Then some bad weather came and the upload froze. It should be done within the next hour but Im SUPER sorry for the delay for the 3 Button Fix JF6.tar

But hopefully since the download link isnt there people will just re read the warnings as this is a very helpful and very productive flash but it is also a risky one.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Have you bothered to read through development at all? This is the 2nd repeat of a discontinued thread.

On top of that the new ATT bootloader package fixes the 3 button fix. What you are posting is only going to cause more hard bricked phones.

If you need to go to jf6 stock, use Cezars safe method in my sig. No bootloaders are involved. Then flash the ATT gingerbread bootloaders. They are backwards compatible, and they fix the 3 button problem.

DO NOT USE THIS METHOD TO FIX ANYTHING.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I understand but I have given proper warnings and people should understand the risks. I only made this in the general sections because of the people that need this (like me) and a couple other users this will be very helpful.

Sorry this isnt helpful too you but it is helpful to someothers, and for users that havent taken the leap to Gingerbread yet this will be very helpful to them.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
But if you flash the new bootloaders, you won't need it either. Just because they are gb loaders doesn't mean you have to run a gb rom. They will run gb, eclair, or froyo roms.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright then I didnt know that. I'm sorry, but thats also part of the reason I put this in general.

Me, and plenty of other people were just looking for the 3 Button Fix. You can ask the mod to take it down but I made this because I thought it would be helpful for people that wanted/needed this to have it again.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Yea this is really only for people still running 2.1 or 2.2 builds that flash back to stock and lose the 3 button. (Like I used to) I needed this a lot back in the day but not anymore since GB.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I apologize if I sounded like an a$&##$. That was not my intent. I merely wanted you avg those to realize this was no longer necessary
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
hahaha no I understand I probably should have done more research, it was just I noticed a couple threads in the Q&A section about wheres the 3 Button Fixed JF6.

So I decided to help those people out, and myself out with creating a sort of reference thread.

Sorry for clogging up the actual development here haha.
[Galaxy S II General] clax6:
ok ive been reading a few post and ideas on the net about battery life and how to get more and something that ive noticed is that if i run my battery to say 15% and give it a full charge over night it makes no difference if i just give it a couple of hours charge.?

in fact im sure it seems better on battery when giving it short charges?
[Galaxy S II General] kaukassus:
it doesen't matter if you leave it over night, or just a few hours.

if the battery is full, then its full.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Well, just to be correct. "Full" on your phone isn't a full battery. Full is reported between 95-100%. That's FULL for your phone. It's not possible to keep the phone at a 100% charged state always without hurting it. So it can be between 95-100% to be full on your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] BlackLine:
I don't want to open a new battery thread, so i'll post my problem here.

I set up an e-mail account (exchange) a few hours ago. Always had Problems with Android OS, ofc. But guess who is the new primary consumer? E-Mail.

Can't believe that, never had any problems with gmail. I'm going to delete the exchange account and hopefuly it will be ok again.

Anyone else having issues with exchange?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] BlackLine:
here is the screenshot.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
email will kill your battery if it is set to PUSH all the time, and if you are getting large mails or too many of them. Make sure you think through push vs timed sync, and also configure how much of a message you want to retrieve (if it is a large message). Still the more emails you are getting the heavier this will drain the batt. I have no idea how Email client eats much more battery than Gmail. I believe it is because gmail's usage is not 100% shown under "gmail", it may be attributed to some other system processes. At the same time, the email client is heavily customized by Samsung, so who knows.
[Galaxy S II General] BlackLine:
The mail account was brand new, so there was only one mail on it.

I disabled it, and the drain overnight was about 10%, so i just stay without it.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Speaking personally, I have push email (Exchange) on all the time, along with WiFi, Bluetooth and data.

I have just conducted a 24 hour experiment and with low to moderate usage of the phone (2 hrs 37 mins screen time) I had 45% battery left. This includes time at home, time in an office and time outside.

I know this won't help those who are struggling with battery life but it does underline the inconsistency of performance of battery on these devices in certain conditions and it absolutely highlights the dangers of trying to attribute all performance issues to a single cause. Fast Dormancy and Latitude were the two biggest battery wasters in my case and performance has improved significantly since I turned these off.

In my view there is no single once-size-fits-all solution; a new firmware might alleviate the issues for most, but it could even be that a batch of rogue hardware components might account for the big discrepancy between users like me, who would claim excellent battery life and others who see their phone battery wiped out in just a few hours.

All I can say s that it is reasonable to expect - and perfectly possible to have - all the toys on our phones on and working, and still have decent battery life.

[General Questions and Answers] jasonleb1:
I'm really sick of Sprint's ****ty service in my area and am seriously thinking about switching to T-Mobile Pre-paid with their $50 unlimited talk, text and web plan. My only concern is the phones, they're pretty crappy. But I've heard of people using a T-Mo pre-paid sim in an unlocked phone. Can anyone confirm this to be true? An unlocked Nokia E7, HD2, iPhone 4, GSII, and Infuse 4G are all options I'm considering to be specific (I know 3G may not work with all them).

I also had a question about the $50 plan. It says you get the first 100 MB of data on 4G speed, does that mean after that you get unlimited 3G or 2G web? Or do you just get 100 MB altogether?

Thanks!

[HD2 General] freeridindirtbiker:
So there is a search bar but I'm not going to be rude. Your new to the site so welcome aboard. Your Noob-ness wont last for long. You will pick this stuff up pretty quickly just like most people have.

To get started, you have to find out which Android ROM to use. There are hundreds upon hundreds of different versions that people have made. To begin with, I'd recommend you download and install Cotulla's and DFT's Stock NAND Rom. Very simple yet effective.

Here's the link for that one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893620

It's somewhat outdated but still works like a charm for most.

You will also need to download 2 programs if you choose to go along with the ROM I mentioned above.

1.) MAGLDR 1.13 Found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893618

Download the file associated with it and extract it to your desktop

2.) HSPL Radio 2.08 Found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433

You will need to download that file as well.

After you've downloaded all 3 of these files (Android ROM, MAGLDR 1.13, and HSPL Radio 2.08) and extracted them all, then your ready to begin.

First go into your bootloader settings (Have phone turned off>Press Power Button and Volume Down Button at same time).

Have your phone plugged into the USB port of your computer and double click on the HSPL .exe file first. Once that's done, your phone will reboot and go back to the Bootloader screen once again. From there, your going to double click on the MAGLDR 1.13 .exe file and follow the instructions it tells you. Your doing all this with your phone plugged into your computer of course. Once that's all done make sure your phone is turned off. HOLD the power button until theres a screen that pops up on your phone with 12 different options. Scroll down using the volume down button to "USB Flasher" or something similar. click on with the green call button on your phone. Your leaving your phone plugged in through all of this. Once your to that point, and you selected USB flasher, then double click on the ROM .exe and follow the instructions. CONGRATS!! You've installed your first Android ROM.

Here's a couple videos with a step by step process.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me. If I were you though, I'd research quite a bit before you just start doing stuff. Your likely to ruin your phone if you don't have the patience to research first! Good luck to ya! :)
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

You should also include a mention for a new radio(needed coming from WinMo)and possibly a task 29 to start with a fresh NAND...

@ramkidec11

Make sure you know whether you have a TMOUS or EU/ international phone.

The toolkit suggested by jsmccabe78 is your best friend in this job(read the thread carefully).
