When resizing a wallpaper to use as the lock screen pic, there is some severe resolution drop.

Are there some high res wallpapers in portrait mode at native sgs2 resolution, maybe that will help?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
If your wallpapers are 480 x 800, resolution is fine. Just increase the yellow frame to cover all the screen and you won't lose any resolution.

Okay. I love the Earth wallpaper in the above thread. I have a cutdown version on my lockscreen. I can't get the yellow box to expand over the full pic. I absolutely want to take advantage of the screen and display the utmost resolution that I can on the lockscreen. What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
The SGSII's resolution is 480x800. Since the Earth wallpaper is 960x800, you will only get the yellow box to cover half of it. You can't make magic resolution appear on a screen that is limited by 480x800.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Yeah, just choose some 480x800 wallpapers for lockscreen and you will be fine. 960 x 800 works for selecting background wallpaper when choosing extended view. Samsung's way of cropping/selecting wallpapers is a pain the @ss anyway. I gotta try at least 2-3 times until i am able to select the whole pic, most of the time i select a small portion which forces me to go back and select the wallpaper again :o

My calendar has all my facebook friend's birthdays. I cannot get ride of them. I've already tried not-syncing facebook at all (regular and fb for sense). I also cannot find any option in the calendar app to not display certain calendars. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
If you open the actual calendar app (touch the arrow in the upper right corner of the widget), the header has a pull down arrow after is says "All calendars". If you touch this, it will pull down a list of calendars syncing. You can enable/disable selectively from here.

I had a problem with this initially, as well, since this used to be accessed from the menu/settings.

I dropped my phone from about 2 feet up (fell out of pocket while getting out of the car). My screen shattered. I was shocked as I'd dropped it before without any problems. Also, I thought the screen protector that shipped with this was supposed to make it nearly shatterproof (or so I was told upon being sold).

.

My question is whether this will be covered under warranty or not. I bought this at a rogers retail location in Canada and use it on the Rogers network in Canada as well.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisheak.bansal:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donkey3000:
Thanks for the info all. I was only asking because when sold I was told that such small drops wouldn't result in this type of damage. If I'd known, I would have waited for something with gorilla glass. Taking from the car analogy, the dealer basically said I could drive the car into walls at slow speeds, just don't drive it off a bridge. I'll do everything I can to get a new one. I don't car if the dealer is out of pocket.

Any idea how much these things usually cost to get fixed?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Here in Holland you can get your screen fixed for around 100 euro, which is about 150$ US. But officially through the dealer they ask twice that amount, I scattered the screen of my x10 a few weeks before I get my arc by walking into a desk a bit painfully...

For the x10 the screens were for sale on ebay, I don't know if they are for the arc, also there are several people who wrote how to change the screen yourself.

The car example was just a cynical joke, mate, blame my black sense of humor for that....;-)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
That's a matter to take up with the retailer you purchased from - there is no such thing as a shatter-proof screen and you should never be sold a phone on that basis.

Gorilla Glass is just scratch-resistant, it's not shatter-proof either.

There'd be just as high a chance that the same drop would've cracked the screen on a Galaxy S or some other handset with Gorilla Glass as it did your Arc's screen.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donkey3000:
ha ha ha. I'll give it a shot. I'm already in a big argument with my provider (Rogers) over their quality of service which I'm probably going to leave them anyways. I get a whopping 0.05 Mbps where i live with 4 bars on 3g. tower issues near by they acknowledge but never fix (used to always force me back to 2g until I found test mode to set 3g only).

I really like this phone though and am willing to pay to get it fixed, which is where my stupid provider is going to screw me around. $25 to get it sent out to see how much its going to cost ... pay activation fee ($35?) to get my old phone activated while its gone, pay the cost of fixing the screen (shouldn't be more than, $200 they said but likely around $150), then pay an activation fee to get the phone back on again. Maybe the person telling me this didn't have a clue, but if that's the case, they've lost all business from me.

Anybody know of any third party repair places in Canada?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Activation fee?

Surely you just put your SIM in the other handset and that's it?

As for third-parties, didn't I see someone say that Sony sells the handsets directly in Canada?

Is that's the case, they'll have some sort of repair service as well.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
Why don't you visit one of the Sony Style stores.. I know they sell the Arc too
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
i used to work for a (private owned) rogers dealer and we send out all sony ericsson phones to Flextronics (details here). they are the only SE repair center in Canada. give them a call first to see if you are able to send your phone in directly (out-of-warranty repair) or if you have to go through a rogers dealer and have them send it in.

the repair estimate is usually around $35 and if you go through the dealer, the shipping is included. estimates can take up to 4 weeks. but definitely give them a call first and they'll fill you in on the details.

I know Rogers offers Handsets Protection Guarantee. My device can get fixed when I break it or something for the first time. That's what they told me while I bought my Arc. Not sure how that works though. Maybe that will help you lower the costs.

P.S. I can always switch between my unlocked phones by just plugging in my SIM card without an activation fee.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
If you were still within the return policy period of the place of purchase, that's pretty normal. Why bother RMA thru the manufacturer, when you can just return/exchange at the point of purchase (unless the store happens to be far away from your home, or some similar situation)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] etsocal:
Purchased from Best Buy over a month ago, think they have return policy either 14 days or 30 days, suppose I have issues after the BB warranty period then what? it is only money to deal with BB, right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
etsocal

You do have a 30 day exchange at BB, but with the Flyer there is no method to service it under warranty... so they usually just swap it for a new one if you have a warranty and the issue is deemed covered.

My flyer has the same problem. I saw it one day and I thought it was the screen protector but it want a way for a day and now it back and bigger. If u in yo 30days take it back and don't let them tell u its water damage cus its not. If ur 30days is up them call HTC the # is in the flyer box

Could someone please point me in the direction of where I can get the Evo 4G 4.22 stock recovery image?
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
Stock recovery is no recovery,what exactly are you looking for?
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
I am rooted and have CWM installed. I am looking to put back the stock 4.22 recovery so I may install the the 4.24 OTA update.

I like to keep my Rom stock and prefer to install updates via OTA.
[EVO 4G General] davevl:
If you take the 4.24 OTA you will no longer be "rooted" Look for one of the rooted ROMs and flash it
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
Yeah,what he said:)
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
I am using the Unrevoked root method and no update (3.70,4.22) to date has unrooted my phone.

I have simply been restoring the current version of the stock recovery, which I have previously found on the internets, and then running the OTA update as normal. Once done I install CWM and the latest SU updates. Works great.

I would like to perfrom this method once agian to install the 4.24 update and all I need is the 4.22 stock recovery.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
If you don't want to be rooted anymore, then just accept the OTA - it'll override your current recovery with the stock recovery, which is actually a lack of recovery.

But as others have said, you won't be able to root again unless you've ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever and remain s-off. In that case, you'll have to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version. So if you want to stay rooted, you might as well go ahead and do that. You should be able to just wipe cache and dalvik and install, so the end result will be the same but you'll be rooted.

I hope that made sense...

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
You probably want this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133379

This is the actual update, but rooted, so you can keep your CWM recovery, get the latest update that was made OTA, but remain rooted. You don't want to just accept the OTA if prompted, your root will go away.

Once you've downloaded it (and the radio update as well), follow the instructions here:

[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Thats the problem. I cannot install the OTA 4.24 update with CWM installed, nor can I install the update manually, via renaming and then update method, as it will error out during install.

OTA updates will only install if the proper stock verion of recovery in installed, hence I really need the 4.22 recovery.

Installing OTA updates when using Unrevoked does not change S-OFF, it only overwrites SU which can be easily reinstalled. I know as I rooted my evo way back when it was version 3.26 using unrevoked 3 and have installed every OTA update since using this method and still have S-OFF
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Thanks, but I do not need to go that route. My method will update as normal and I wont have to wipe my phone.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
And you won't be rooted anymore. There are only about 3 thousand posts telling people this, and most AFTER they found out the hard way. There are stock Rooted ROMS based on the recovery, as in STOCK! but still rooted, and up to date.

BTW, there are also a lot of posts detailing how the OTA made their phones worse, but if you want to be a hard head, go ahead and bury yourself, but don't come back crying when you figure out.
[EVO 4G General] exabrial:
how come every other incompetent noob can manage to get their phone back to stock and permanently locked/unrooted, yet I cannot manage this feat intentionally?
[EVO 4G General] exabrial:
if I intentionally flash the 4.22 zip from shipped-roms will this eliminate my root and recovery?
[EVO 4G General] exabrial:

ARGHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP ME LOCK MY PHONE PLEASE!!!
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
I appreciate the heads up, but if done correctly, it does work and has worked great for me the past few OTA updates.

I am aware of all the potential problems and am not the only one successfully installing OTA updates on a rooted evo and staying rooted.
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
Bottom line is if you change back to S-ON, and apply the OTA you lose root forever (or until Unrevoked finds a new backdoor). If you leave S-OFF then you can downgrade, and reload a recovery. The stock ROM's you'll find here (ex. Sprint Lover's) are stock, and rooted. They pretty much the same thing you get over the air. Don't be a lid..

[EVO 4G General] hrubak:
First learn the correct terminology for what you are tying to achieve. There is no 4.22 recovery that you can just flash, there is a 4.22 ROM and a 4.22 RUU.

Then check out the WIKI and FAQs these both contain the info you are looking for .

Not trying to be mean. Just do some research before you mess up your phone and come here asking for stuff that doesn't exist.

4.22 ROM = just the ROM

4.22 RUU = .exe that runs on your PC to FLASH your PHONE with new radio, recovery, hboot, rom, etc

[EVO 4G General] hrubak:
Well said :)

This is what you want to do to get to the latest OTA STOCK no root

* if you leave S-Off you can re-root *
[EVO 4G General] dmolavi:
Yes, it will update the normal way that the OTA updates everyone that is rooted and doesn't use a rooted ROM. You don't want a recovery image, you want a ROM. If you use the OTA update, you will lose root, plain and simple. You will not be able to flash back to an old HBOOT as the phone will complain it is too old.

Grab the stock rooted OTA from any one of the threads in the developer forum here, or just flash CM7 (or any other ROM of your choice) and grab the new radios.

There are tons of posts here stating that what you are trying to do is a Bad Thing (TM). I'm not trying to be an a$$ or a d-bag, I just want to make sure you realize that, if you do what you are saying you want to do, you will lose root.
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Yes there is a 4.22 recovery.img and can be extracted from a RUU, which I am unable to do. Previously I have obtained stock recovery.img files from

http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w

Installing a recovery.img that is not the correct version will not allow your phone to boot. I flashed the recovery.img file contained in a zip file and name it PC36IMG.zip and install it with hboot. Simple.
[EVO 4G General] gbh62:
I know exactly what you are trying to do, as I've used this same method myself. Everyone here who is stating that by accepting an OTA, you will lose root, is simply unfamiliar with the "unrevoked forever" method. And I suggest you all read this, especially the part titled "Reinstalling an Official Recovery".

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

Now to answer your question, I do have the recovery image extracted from the 4.22.651.2 official sprint release. However, I have tried using this to take the 4.24 update and it doesn't work.

I did use the stock recovery extracted from the 3.70.651.1 to take the initial 4.22 OTA update, and that did work just fine, just like all the Froyo updates did. But, something is different about this 4.24 update. Flashing that 4.22 stock recovery says that it takes ok. But it just results in a triangle-exclamation screen when I boot with volume-down-Power-button. Thus far, I have not been able to find a way to get the 4.24 OTA update, and if I really want it will probably just install the rooted ROM, as was suggested here.

Let me know if you'd like a link to the 4.22 stock recovery, or even the whole darn release image, that you can extract the recovery from yourself.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Thank you for helping. Could you please provide the link to the 4.22 full release? I would like to give it a try.
[EVO 4G General] gbh62:
Sure. I will upload that and send you link via PM.
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Thank you so much! I extracted the 4.22 recovery image and flashed it. I then booted and installed the OTA 4.24 update with no problems.

I am now running 4.24 with CWM and SU successfully!
[EVO 4G General] gbh62:
Well that is good news. I wonder what's going wrong on my end since I am trying to do exactly what you are doing. Can you confirm that you are on hboot 2.16? I'm pretty sure you are.

So when you flashed the stock recovery you did not end up locked on screen with a triangle-exclamation?
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Yes I am on hboot 2.16. When I extracted the recovery.img and the txt file I just pasted them into an exsiting PC36IMG.zip file for 3.70. Doubt that makes a difference. I also flashed the recovery in hboot. I had no problems booting the phone afterward.

The only time I had the triangle screen is when I tried flashing the 3.70 recovery and the phone would not boot and went to the triangle screen. I had to flash CWM back to get it to boot. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] cddmh:
So let me get this straight. I am rooted with unrevoked forever. If I flash 4.22 and then accept the 4.24 update, I will still be rooted? I am still a noob when it comes to this.
[EVO 4G General] kc8emd:
Assuming you have kept your ROM stock the entire time then, Yes.

If you are rooted and are on 4.22, then I assume you flashed a rooted ROM from these forums and then you probably will not be able to do this.

You just need to flash back the stock recovery image for 4.22. Then you should be able to install the OTA 4.24 update normally. After you successfully update you will then need to reflash CMW recovery or whatver recovery and then the latest SU update to return super user access. You will not lose S-OFF
[EVO 4G General] frenchy714:
Can you also send me the whole 4.22 release img?
