[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
I have it and it doesn't bother me a bit, I got it from amazon. There is no guarantee that the second one wouldn't and other than everything is 100% with this phone. I dont wanna get another one that might have a dead pixel. I cant see it during the day, only in my room where there is low light, but it goes around the edges too, but it is very dim, I mean doesn't bother me one bit. I guess it bothers some of you, and everyone has different feelings about this. I am not too bothered.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
No leakage from my bottom here.

Oh, and none on the phone either! :p
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
none here, no light leakage, no dust under screen... none of that...
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
Um, yeah, So you can exchange your phone every 30 days, for free, for the rest of your life?

There's a reason they have exchange policies. People do some shady ****.
[HTC EVO 3D] evantribley:
I feel like some of you guys could find a defect in absolutely everything...
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
No I'm saying purchase date of the new phone not exchange date...

You misinterpreted my post

sent from a 3devo
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
the exchange should be based of original purchase, otherwise you will never run out of a return date, I am sure that is there for a reason. Here is the deal when you are buying it why cant people just take 5 minutes to go through the phone so they dont walk out with a phone with light leakage or dust under the screen or dead pixel.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Funny they never let me inspect the phone.. they activate it and push me out of the store (metaphorically speaking)

I was first on the list for preorder and there where no appointments set, so 9am there where atleast 10 people there for the EVO 3d plus normal customers and 6 employees

sent from a 3devo
[HTC EVO 3D] evantribley:
According to your own post your original purchase date was June 1. I hate to tell you that was more than 30 days ago. Why by the EVO only to exchange it 3 weeks later? You wasted Radioshack's, Sprint's, and HTC's money by doing that.

There is a reason why there are concrete return/exchange policies for electronics almost everywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
EVO 4G bought June 1st

EVO 4G exchanged for EVO 3d the 24th

Two different phones to different dates ..

I understand the return policy and have insurance for a reason.. I'm not trying to get over on anyone...

And FYI the manager at radio shack knew I was returning.g the EVO 4G for the EVO 3d.. I didn't hide it from anyone... So in no way was I deceiving them..

That could also be the reason they won't accept a exchange...

But again I have insurance and a 1 year manufacturing warranty so no biggie

[HTC EVO 3D] orlandojumpoff:
I've handled 3 of them and all have light leakage. Some people think they don't, but if they looked in a dark room and covered the display, they'd see it along the bottom. Or maybe they think you mean light leakage for the display and don't realize you're talking about under the capacitive buttons where the front face meets the bottom side.

This is nothing new though. I've used many EVO 4Gs and all those had the issue as well. Droid Incredible too. Sort of related... my iPod Touch has the leak along the sides. I wouldn't worry about it if it's not really noticeable with regular use. You'll likely get another one with light leakage, possibly worse, if you return it.
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
Both of mine have it. One worse than the other. But no dead pixels. I'm considering swapping them but it sounds like a big estate of time. The bottom buttons are simply too bright.

Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
I was thinking of buying one off of Amazon but I really don't want to deal with returning it to them if there is a problem. The risk just seems too great of getting a phone with an issue. I sure hate Sammy phones but there ate never issues like this with them.

Remember the OG evo? Dust under the screen, light leakage.......same old story
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
My phone has no issues...except it is still S-ON
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
CRAP., I tested my phone before I left the store and now I got a stuck pixel at the bottom right and the search button has a little hole with light poking through it. It's been in the Otterbox defender case since I left the store and hasn't come out once. So now I have 1 stuck pixel and 1 tiny spec hold at the search button, should I exchange it?
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Then you could return a phone every 30 days forever.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Only if you care enough too.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
I have seen so many people with light leakage. I think the damn buttons on the bottoma are too damn bright, HTC needs to take it easy on the bling bling, seriously they light up the whole phone in a dark room. Kinda crazy. My phone is perfect other than the light bleed, but I am not really bothered by it, I dont wanna take a chance with another phone that might have a dead pixel and crap. really doesn't bother me.
[HTC EVO 3D] fester225:
Wow sounds a lot like effin nexus one launch , why hasn't HTC manage to take care of this , maybe they should focus on one devise and not multiple phones ,. And can someone tell me why I can't get auto correcting when I search through the web browser ,? Super annoying
[HTC EVO 3D] kenfly:
Possibly

I have light coming from the bottom bezel
[HTC EVO 3D] sling:
Most Sprint stores have a bunch of jerks in them that care more about rejecting returns then producing happy customers.

Being stuck pixel you more then likely will have no issue getting swap.

I on the other hand took one back that had tiny dot like yours next to home key and they told me no go its HTC known defect thus store could not swap and Here's the Kicker , I only owned device for less then a freaking hour.
[HTC EVO 3D] sling:
If it bothers you caulk it thats what I did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jeremiah239:
Mine does, thinking about getting a replacement also my search key has pant missing on the ring around and light leaks through it.
[HD2 General] d.nice:
Hi my name is Dennis and i've got a

Htc HD2 with

Rom version : 3.14.162.5(04666)GER vodafone branding

spl 3.03.0000 xe.

My problem is that I have now an o2 card with an internet flatrate which i cannot use because in the settings of the internet on my smartphone I can only choose between vodafone private and vodafone business.

I searched the www about this problem and some says that I only have to install HSPL and the StockRom from HTC but i know now that my spl 3.03.0000 xe isn't compatible with HSPL.

Can someone help me how I can install the original htc stockrom on my device?

sorry for my bad english.

thanks for help
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
You can use HSPL4.exe from here: Click!

Alternatively, you could use SSPL.exe, which does not alter SPL permanently, the latest HTC stock ROM is a 3.14 version, too.

HD2/win6.5/current OS

ive installed the Tom Condon version of the internet sharing app on the phone from a cab file on the sd card. Ive tried installing it on the device and the SD card but after installation, i cant find the program to run it on either. trying to get it up asap to use my ipad2 on a trip where there is no att signal. any advice guys? thanks in advance
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Just to clear up what you are wanting to do: to make the HD2 use its data connection to the phone company and turn it into a WiFi hotspot, so you can get the internet on your ipad.

I have used the standard WinMo6.5 HD2 to be a WiFi hotspot (through the Communication interface) and connected the ipad to use my data connection.

The ipad and the HD2 was a friends (I am not fan of the Apple Empire).
[G Tablet General] jacksterboston:
Hello all,

I'm having a weird issue with my gtablet. I recently sent it to US Merchants to get it serviced because it had that weird repeating noise issue. Out of the box, it came with stock 1.2-4349 and was working fine. I proceeded to flash the ROM with Vegan-tab GE, but after I did so, it started randomly rebooting. It wasn't a full reboot however; upon reboot i would not see the "three birds" screen but only the ROM splash page (flashing Vegan-tab GE logo). Upon reading the boards here on XDA and reading the references on the "Gtablet for Dummies" site. I thought that maybe repartitioning was the answer. I proceeded to use the advised settings (2048/0), rebooted the gtablet, but still experienced the same problem. From that point on I tried everything that was advised on the boards:

Gtablet format

NVFlash 1.2

flashed ROM to CM7 (still had random reboot issues)

NVFlash 1.1

flashed Rom to Vegan-Tab G (just for giggles, but still had reboot issues)

NVFlash 1.2 and back to stock 4349

And now, I'm having a problem with the wireless adapter; when I turn the unit on, the wireless adapter is off. When I try to turn it on, a message pops up "Unable to scan for networks" and the wireless adapter turns off.

So if anyone has any ideas, I'll be happy to try anything. Otherwise, looks like I'm sending this one back. Again.

Thanks all!
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
That's a soft reboot. It happens when you have software incompatibility. there's an app you're using that's not compatible.
[G Tablet General] jacksterboston:
no apps?

Hi goodintentions,

thanks for the reply. unfortunately this is happening before i install anything. Right after I flash a new ROM, the roboot occurs before I have a chance to install anything.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Have you used cwm to wipe data factory reset?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dankitchen:
I have read dozens of "stuck on boot screen" posts and there is nothing I see that tells me how to boot into recovery when there are no options, just a logo that freezes after 5 loops or less. I just installed Bumblebee, assumed complete data and cache wiping (possibly didn't happen) before installing the rom. I do not have anything that I know of to assist me in other options other than the dead end I am stuck going to. Is there something I could install on my SD to wipe my phone and go back to factory rom...etc etc? I would really appreciate some help!

I am using a LG Optimus V
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Instead of guessing.

1/ Install Android SDK (kindly Google it). Use the EXE to install.

2/ Connect your phone via USB cable, type

adb logcat

into command prompt and paste the part where the phone is stuck here.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Well, if there is boot-loop as he sad, logcat will be really huge and there is possibility that is wont's say anything.

2dankitchen

Anyway I'm not sure where problem is. If it is ROM related, than logcat can help, but mostly it is better revert to old backup (at least for sb. who don't know too much about unix, adb and so on). In this case is better switch phone off, press end keep pressed Home + volume down + power and wait until custom recovery will start. (you didn't mentioned if you tried this "combo")

If it's bootloader/recovery related, you can try restore your recovery by these how-to or as last chance of repair use of KDZ (my signature).

If you really wants to revert to original FW, you have to use KDZ or original LG tool if it will work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] snikeris:
Try to do hard reset:

# Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus One is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it

# Hold the Home and Volume Down button

# Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Bumblebee is custom ROM, isn't it? If yes, than he should have custom recovery and hard reset will not work. And if Bumblebee is something different like app or theme I must look like ididot. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dankitchen:
haha...as hard as I tried to find the answer, it was as simple as holding down a few buttons. I hope this post will make it easier for someone to find the solution.

I really appreciate the help everyone...in a time like this, a helpful hand is beyond words. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Yeah, you really didn't know that? :) Read my n00b dictionary (signature) definitely. Even it is for people who wants try "something more" it brings more light about to your phone.

At least, now I know what I should add also :)
[Streak 5 General] SuperKeeper:
Hi there.

Just from the start, this is the first Android phone I've had. I've previously had a XDA Orbit which was Windows Mobile and on that device it was highly modfiied with custom ROMs etc. etc. so with experience I was confident of doing that kind of stuff but I'm not yet as confident with my Streak, even though I've had it for a few hours now! :P

It is 2nd hand, I'll give you the specs:

Android Version- 2.2

Baseband version- GAUSB1A121921-EU

Kernal version- 2.6.32.9-perf

OEM version- GAUSB1A121921

Build number- 12792

I have a new questions. Firstly, how do I know if my device is rooted or not? Relatively how safe is it to root? Do you really need a custom ROM? I know for my Orbit, WM6.1 while quite fast was lacking in features so going to WM 6.5 was a viable option because it looked better, had TouchFlo etc. etc.

You all are much more knowledgeble than me, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
What is rooting on Android? – from droidlessons.com

Why root? – from the Android-DLS Wiki

Look for the superuser app in the app tray.

Some Streak related Links

It is safe to root.

You don't need a custom ROM, but there are choices out there.
[Streak 5 General] SuperKeeper:
Thank you for the links! They seem really useful!

How do I know if my device is already rooted? I suppose the best way would be to try and install an app that requires a rooted device?...
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Am pretty sure that your rom is not rooted cause as per the specs this phone is from O2 and its the latest build by them...

Then too if you want to check whether its rooted or not then check for a application on market "root checker" it checks for you whether the phone is rooted and busy box is installed or not...

Hope this helps and welcome to android world bruv.....the green bot is going to eat that apple completely!! LOL
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
As MarvinO2 mentioned, look for an app in your app drawer call SuperUser, if that's there then you're rooted.

Another really good link is this one:

Thank you all for everything, this is why XDA developers is just the best!

Basically, I've just rooted it, using GingerBreaker:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

And checked it with Rootchecker and installed BusyBox and all seems to be done rather quickly and easily much to my surprise.

I just need to get used to Android really, been a stubborn WM user ever since I got my first smartphone 3 years ago! Incidently, my Dell Streak is the first new phone I've had in those 3 years!

Just a last question, my old WM phone (which has nearly died) had my all my contacts/texts, luckily I have a backup of it which is recent enough, is there any way of getting said backup on my Dell Streak? Or will I have to try and revive my old phone, ActiveSync it and backup my contacts and texts thru Outlook or something and then transfer them onto the Streak?
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Try this!!

[Streak 5 General] SuperKeeper:
Thanks for that, but I found an...interesting..way of harvesting some contacts and numbers out of my backup file!
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Would like to know more about pit, on the other hand it can help others...Plz Share :p
[Streak 5 General] SuperKeeper:
Basically, I had used PIM Backup for WM:

http://www.dotfred.net/

The backup it created was just of contacts, messages etc and it was a .pib file. This more or less is a .zip file so I simply renamed the backup to a zip file and extracted the contents. I renamed whatever part I need, so in my case the contacts.pbc and opened it in Notepad. Crucially, I had done the backup as a binary backup so the Notepad file was pretty much gibberish but there was contacts embedded in there and you just had to look for it. A simple search and I plucked out the numbers that I wanted.

It is a bit contrived but it certainly worked!

Hey folks,

when i backup'd all my stuff on my rooted g1 i totally forgot that titanium backup needs root access to work!

now i have all those files backed up but no easy way to temp. root my desire z and can't find another way to restore the backups .. (not only the apps, more important the data of them and sms)

Is there any app for phone or computer who can do this without root? i guess no? or am i missing the super1clickeasytemporaryroot app?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] taob:
No, I don't think there is a way to take the files created by Titanium Backup, and restore system-level data, like your call logs or SMS. If you still have your G1 handy, install a utility like SMS Backup and Restore (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore). Use it to create a backup in XML format, transfer the file over to your DZ, then use the same app to restore your messages.

I'm also ready to root to get Gingerbread and like the OP I am uncertain about the procedure despite the excellent guides available. In fact, you might say there's too much information. I don't want someone to "hold my hand", but for new TB owners like us DIY gingerbread is intimidating because it requires downgrading, then installing a new radio and a ROM. I would like to better understand the path from an updated stock TB to rooted BAMF 3.0 with the correct radio.

Here are my specific questions:

I have a brand new TB with baseband version 1.16.00.040w_1, software number 1.13.605.7, Hardware version 0002. Does this mean I have the MR2 update?

Is there a specific downgrade zip I need to use or are the downgrade files available for download in the rooting guides all the same?

Once I downgrade, which radio will I have?

Do I have to upgrade the radio before installing BAMF 3.0?

I have quite a bit of experience rooting Motorola phones but I'm an HTC newbie and appreciate your help.

No you do not, your still on the MR1 radio

Is there a specific downgrade zip I need to use or are the downgrade files available for download in the rooting guides all the same?

Follow the instructions HERE This is the guide I used and it has everything you need to get rooted.

Once I downgrade, which radio will I have?

You will still have the stock radio

Do I have to upgrade the radio before installing BAMF 3.0?

Some people will suggest that you do, however, you can flash the ROM first, then reboot into the bootloader and flash the radio afterwards.

Hope I was able to help...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madAdam6LOVE:
That was easy! Used the Mac procedure, no problems.

Up and running with BAMF Sense 3.0 and the MR2 radio. Sweet!

Can you tell what format the video sent to you is in? I personally feel that MoboPlayer is better than Rockplayer and it may be able to handle the video.

Conversion is never the best solution. Sometimes, Apple names them with a particular file extension, which is really another. I know that is confusing, but if you can tell us the format of the video from the iPhone, we can help you more easily.
