[Nexus S General] culberto:
Absolutely, I am getting the feeling it's a faulty handset too. No, it doesn't boot into fastboot, or normally either, the screen is completely blank.

No-one has seen this behaviour where the buttons along the bottom of the screen light up when you try to boot the phone? I concede that this is a very rare thing to happen to a Nexus S, but it seems strange that nobody has seen or heard of it before?
[Nexus S General] brmayhem:
I'm sorry I didn't fully understand. It doesn't boot into fastboot but it picks up the serial number? Have you tried flashing a recovery through fastboot?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
In your OP post you said,

But yet you can't get into the bootloader mode? I'm confused.

If you want us to help you, you have to be as precise and clear as you can.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
I think he means that if you do "fastboot devices" it comes up with a number. That means there is some hope.

Did you try flashing with Samsung's exe? You have to know which model you got.
[Nexus S General] culberto:
Fastboot reports the serial number okay, but when I turn the phone on holding the volume button up, nothing happens.

Actually, I had a moment of inspiration when using the fastboot oem unlock command- I realised that when the cursor was flashing it was waiting for me to confirm that I wanted to unlock on the phone itself. So, I pushed up on the volume rocker and confirmed by pushing the power button, and fastboot reported that I had successfully unlocked the phone. "Great!" I thought, but whatever I try to flash onto the phone I get the same behaviour, the lights at the bottom of the screen flash but nothing happens on the screen.

So it seems I have a faulty screen, or I did something to screw with the electronics. There are a couple of sugestions here to try but I don't hold out much luck.

Thanks for you help anyway :-)
[Nexus S General] culberto:
No problem, from other posters it seems I'm not too good at explaining myself. I think the phone is actually booting into recovery but the screen is dead so it looks like nothing is happening.

Yeah, I finally managed to unlock the handset (see my previous post), and I can flash the recovery no problem (or at leasts it reports no problem), but nothing comes up on the screen. As I said in my last post I think the screen must be borked.

Thanks for posting anyway, it's much appreciated.
[Nexus S General] culberto:
Samsung's exe? Sorry, I did a quick google on this but I'm not sure exactly what you mean? As I've said in my last 2 replies, I think the screen is the problem but it's worth a try.
[Nexus S General] culberto:
Thanks for all the suggestions so far, and sorry to pipe on about this, but has nayone seen this behaviour where the screen flashes for a millisecond when the phone is turned on but then stays dead, and instead the function keys at the bottom light up and turn off in a particular sequence? As I've said in my last couple of posts I think my phone is toast but maybe there is a clue somewhere in that description?
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Samsung has an exe for windows to restore your system where it was original. Find the one for your phone and flash it. The file is different depending on who you carrier is and what model number do all the research them run the exe

Edit exe is called swupdater on sprint

I altered the file as proposed in the guide, replacing with a series of 5 dashes, pushed it back to the phone and it seems to work fine. WiFi turns on, i dont suppose there's any way to test wether it truly is n now or not?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renji:
hi guys,i've 2 question about s-off procedure:

1- if i make the s-off,i'll nedd an ext partition on my sd anyway in order to have more memory for install programms or there is some other solution?

2- i saw in the development section that there are some rom only for s-off device,what are the differences with other modded rom?(are more responsive,smooth, or wath)

therefore,it worth to make s-off or not?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Going s-off will allow you to modify the system partitions in the phone itself. Depending on the ROM you use, you can gain more internal memory from going s-off. I think the only ROM's that require s-off are the new Sense3.0 ROM's and that's because they have you flash custom partitions.

When you run the s-off procedure, your partitions won't change in size until you download the Hboot file that you want and flash it via fastboot or a flashing utility.

Make sure you know what you're doing and understand everything before doing this. It's one of the few things that can brick your phone if it fails.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renji:
than aren't the s-off rom better than the "normal" modded rom?

if there are not advantages...i' ll not do the s-off procedure because i' m not sure to complete the procedure in the right way!!!

thank you jordan.harris01
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Don't do it if you feel comfortable doing it but I think you misunderstood me. The advantage to it is you get more space on your internal memory so you don't need to rely on A2SD and things like that which can run slower as they are pulling data from your SD card.

Going s-off is the only way you can change the system partition sizes to gain more internal memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renji:
aaahhhh...ok! now i understood what u mean.thank u very much for the explaination

i'll think about do or not the s-off...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I have noticed that every now and then when I turn on the display, the colors are off. The blues look purple and the the other colors look faded and washed out. The screen also looks pixelated. I can turn the display off for a couple of seconds when this happens and then turn it back on and it is normal again. Do you think the display is going out or is this something that can be caused from the setcpu or juicedefender that are running in the background?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Have you been using chain fire 3d if not man then ya id say your screen is spanked. You can get that fixed at sprint tho.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerrollus:
I've noticed that my colors have been acting goofy since I turned on Swype after installing the stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread update on the 20th. It's fine until the keyboard pops up, then everything has sort of a blue tint. Seems like the Swype keyboard is bleeding out onto the rest of the screen or something.

While you're probably isn't exact, it makes me wonder if there's maybe a bug in there that's causing similar problems with you?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
All,

Hey is one of the first rugged type cases I've seen pop up. It has an avaliability range of 1-3 months so no clue when they will be avaliable but heres where you can track it:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004ZKP8JO/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1&qid=1308686568&sr=8-8

And to get an idea about what it might look like (no pictures yet on Amazon.com) here is the link to the same type case for the Xoom:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] aimfire72:
I have one of those for my 7" Galaxy Tab, they're really nice!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
I really wish they were avaliable now because although I can somewhat understand the desire to make the Tab look like a real portfolio with the somewhat common leather cases, I by far prefer the stress free approach to device protection (and I have young kids).

Anyway, hopefully that big range of availability at Amazon is overly conservative.
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Hello everyone,

My issue is not new, many of us had to face it. I spent the whole day searching a solution which would work for me, but in vain. So, I'm sorry for making a new thread for an old problem but none of the suggested solutions worked for me.

I've made the "Factory data reset" today and since then I can't download anything from the market ( I receive the "Download unsuccessful" message)

There's no problem in 2 cases :

- via the Desktop version of the market (even with my account)

- another primary account (but on the same phone)

I've tried :

- Reseting the Factory data several times.

- Deleting Data and/or Cache of the Market/Gtalk/Chekin Service/....

- Logging in/out Gtalk

- Yelling on my phone/pc

- Formating my sd card

None of these worked, I'm hopeless... :(

Please come save my soul.

[HTC EVO 3D] bwillet:
I was one of the many who lost their existing full upgrade when the Premier rules changed (had full upgrade in Feb, lost it in April). I'm still Premier Silver. Two separate chat sessions were unproductive in trying to get my upgrade eligibility "fully" changed so that it showed on the website, they just told me to call telesales when the phone is available and they'll fix it for you and order the phone. I called this morning at 9:15 EST to order the phone, and after a huge runaround she said that she was working with the Premier department and that as soon as she was able to resolve the issue and order the phone she would call me back. Wasn't expecting anything, but was hopeful. So 3pm rolls around and I just can't take it anymore, and I try again. The guy I talk to puts me on the infamous "no more than 2 minutes" hold five times for a total of 20 minutes on hold, and finally comes back with a final answer of "I advise you to wait until the 24th and go to a store or use the online link and use your $75 upgrade". Couldn't get anywhere with him even though I was very polite but firm. Kept explaining the Premier can buy it on the 21st, and he just kept repeating his "advice". Very, very frustrating. I am starting vacation on Friday and really wanted to get the phone bought and set up before I left! I wouldn't be whining if I didn't know that other people were able to get their dates reset easily... I could have just ordered the durn phone this morning if they just would have done it right. It seems the Premier preorders are backordered, so I lost that opportunity, and based on what happened today who says they will be able to give me the full upgrade as I was promised on Friday, if I can even get one?

Any Sprint insiders have advice or a hookup for me? ;)

I'm actually mad that he didn't ask me at the end of the call if he was able to resolve all my concerns today...

Argh.

[HTC EVO 3D] robrrt5:
Yeah i knew I was going to get screwed over with the "changing the upgrade" issue on my premiere account, so I actually started resolving my issue 3 weeks ago so I would be ready for launch. But for me they kept telling me that I have that override note on my account but I wanted it to show on the Best buy computers and on my account that I had the actual upgrade option. So I had to be annoying and threatened to cancel (this was done through email) and lo and behold I got a personal call from someone in the retention department assuring me they were going to change my upgrade status and got rid of that override note. And it worked.. it now says I can upgrade now on my account. So you really need to threaten to cancel to get the eligibility on your account and not that override note.

But since release date is a couple days away make sure to actually call and request a superior and mention to cancel, but obviously don't be rude, it's not the customer's reps fault :)

My sister-in-law had this same problem. I called them because she had a $150 upgrade back in November of 2010, and all of a sudden it came up on her account page a week ago that she only had $75 upgrade.

I called and told them to cancel the account, and I wasn't dealing with their thieving company anymore, and I was going to get an iPhone tomorrow (which I wasn't, but I figured it would work).

Within about 2 minutes I had $150 upgrade (on both lines, and the second one wasn't due for a $75 upgrade until December 2011), and a $110 credit on my bill.

Made the call to sprint cause i almost made a claim and changed my mind to get the screen fixed at a 3rd party store..I really didnt want to pay the 100 bucks for a new standard evo.Well i got a phone call from a sprint representative saying that sprint upped my upgrade status to a gold premier customer without me even *****ing to get it and said i could get the phone for 199 with a 2 yr contract and trade in my old evo for 150 on my phone.So now im getting the evo 3d for 50 bucks.

Call up Sprint at 877-775-4886 and ask for your upgrade eligibility to be reset. I had to call them today to get my full 2 year eligibility back. It was easy as pie, just be nice to them when you ask for the reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] souless poet:
All I did was email them through the website. Explained to them that if I wasn't going to get the full upgrade then I was going to be closing my accounts and going to one of the others. They sent me an email in return stating that they would reinstate my full upgrade through the telesales. I then emailed them back saying that I had already had one on preorder and would the full upgrade be marked on my account. I immediately got an email stating that this would be the case. I have printed off the copies and when I goto RS on friday to upgrade if I have any problems I have proof of my conversation. Try going that route. Got all my answers and feedback within 16hrs. Good luck.
[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
So - rooted my Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept (running froyo) and just got lucky enough to get a Acer Iconia Tablet (a500 32gb model) and would *love* to be able to use my intercept as a hot spot.

Downloaded Barnacle (and a few others) to my intercept - can start barnacle with no warnings or error messages from my Intercept - i get the message letting me know it is beaconing - but no matter what I try I cannot connect from my a500 (or other devices I tried for troubleshooting; my girlfriends Samsung Intercept and my friends Evo 4 do not see my hotspot.

Long post made short; any one out there got the rooted 2.2 ROM working as hotspot? Would be grateful for some help.
[Intercept General] scream4cheese:
Barnacle wi-fi in ad-hoc mode so that's probably one of the reasons your devices could not detect the signal. Since you have rooted your phone, what Rom or Kernal is it running on?
[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
Thanks for responding!

My intercept is running stock 2.2 from Virgin Mobile - rooted and cleaned out some of the more worthless apps it ships with.

Intercept-

Build number - froyo.ec07

Kernel version - 2.6.32.9

Android version - 2.2.2

Acer Iconia A500 (WiFi only tablet)

Android Version - 3.0.1

Kernel version - 2.6.36.3

Build number - 1.144.07

I feel I may be going at it all wrong - have read a few threads claiming the a500 supports connecting to an ad-hoc connection, some say it does not. Would think my next step would be to head over to the a500 section and see about getting the a500 to support ad-hoc.

Will be by a friends laptop with wifi in a few mins, will test barnacle there to verify I even have it working right in the first place :-)
[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
Tested!

My intercept is not the issue - was able to connect to my hotspot via a windows box.

So now to find out if the a500 can be convinced to connect to ad-hoc.

[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
hmmmmm

Now I am confused. Does the virgin mobile phone you have support proper infrastructure hotspot, or only ad-hoc via a rooted phone (like mine?)

From what I read, I need to mess with the wpa supplciant here on the a500 to get it to even connect to an ad-hoc network, I am a little nervous about trying it - some users reporting broken wifi and other pains.
[Intercept General] TBen007:
Honestly, I dont know. Neither acer nor virgin mobile phone is rooted, but I tried this and it worked without having to change anything on either device. I put the widget on phone home screen to toggle it on, then scan wifi with acer and connect. I also secured it with a password. For $25/mo, this vmobile service is kicking att butt.
[Intercept General] entropy.of.avarice:
hmmmm.

Sounds like your phone already has hotspot unlocked - which lets you run a normal infrastructure wifi hotspot - the intercept requires root to function as a hotspot, and even then it will be a ad-hoc network, which the a500 cannot connect to without a bit of patching some system files :(
[Intercept General] EducateAndInnovate:
Infrastructure Mode wi-fi

:)

On rooted Intercept, Infrastructure Mode wi-fi is much better:

Infrastructure Mode 100% [Simplified]
