[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickyBO89:
Hi all, I have the I9000 with stock (branded, h3g ita) firmware Froyo 2.2

I recently removed Ryanza OCLF and flashed Speedmod Kernel k13e in order to be able to use ROM manager and use custom ROMs... but there's my problem, if it is one...

When I enter Recovery Mode, it automatically opens ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0, that comes with Speedmod Kernel. So I thought to install ROM Manager, but when I launched it the app didn't find the CWM recovery version previously mentioned. So I said to flash CWM Recovery and he says that he has successfully downloaded it... and then he say that my current recovery is version 2.5.1.2

Then, I ask to reboot in recovery mode but what happens is that my phone reboots in the original recovery (android system 3e), it tries to run something (i think the update.zip) and fails... so I manually go into recovery mode (3 buttons combo) and it load CWM recovery version 2.5.1.0 (the one that cames with SpeedMod)

What am I doing wrong? Why ROM Manager launches 3e recovery? Is it because the 2.5.1.0 version of CWM rec has became the "default" recovery (the one automatically launched with the 3 buttons combo)?

Looks nice, but could we fold the cover flap fully to the back, in case we want to hold the tab in book reading mode
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] borja84:
I just ordered one of those from amazon.

Bad thing is that for me, shipping was even more expensive (15$) than the cover itself (14$)...

I think you can fold the cover flap fully to the back, in case you want to hold the tab in book reading mode. Take a look at a video on youtube about this case, but ipad version. Search for "Review: Acase Slim Leather Folio Case with Stand for iPad 2".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] madsquabbles:
doesn't look like it. there's no crease on the front cover like the ipad case i have.

i bought one earlier and it should be here next week. now i'll have a matching set for my ipad, gt7 and gt10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] borja84:
Aw man, didn't see that. If only it is a mistake with the pictures and the cover we receive is OK... I think that crease helps you type on the best position. Well, you know better that you have the I pad version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] madsquabbles:
you can rest the bottom on the "latch" and put in a slightly upraised position. i just find it a little too bouncy when doing that while typing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mzimand:
I have the same case for my 7" Galaxy Tab and am very happy with it. The quality is that of a much more expensive case. If I had not already bought another case I would be picking one of these up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MisterEdF:
Unless I am seeing it wrong in the photos the problem with this case is that you have to constantly detach it from the BOTTOM HALF of the TAB to use it in a tilted position. This is how that $90 Zenus brand carbon fiber case I bought and returned worked. It was a real PITA plus it will eventually wear the paint off the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] madsquabbles:
i prefer that than the extra thickness (like belkin folio case). i haven't had any chipping or scratching on either of my other tablet's yet, but i did bend all those tabs a bit after getting them to make it easier to pull out. i even loosened the cover latches a bit too.

I have x10 with generic 2.1 (rooted).how can I install the custom kernel on it .....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
You'll need the flashtool which you can get from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

Take your time reading & learning the posts.

You'll also need XRECOVERY which you can install from the flashtool. How to instructions are also on the link above.

Then you'll have to decide which custom ROM to install. Here are 2 examples of custom ROMs which gives you the option to install with STOCK or CUSTOM KERNELS.

Hi All,

I've X10i [Stock FW 2.1 Update 1 ; BB 2.1.54 ; Kernel 2.6.29 ; Build 2.1.A.0.435] Already RooTed by Z4RooT, with XRecovery, Busybox & SU Installed.

1. If I Flash it with Costum ROM..can I still use SE PC Companion to UpDate My Phone later in case there's an UpDate..?

2. Is EWJet xKernel/zKernel compatible with My Phone Spec..?

Many Thanks in Advance Bro..;-)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Yes you can flash that through xrec. When you download the file, unzip it to your PC and you'll see an APPS folder, BASEBAND folder and update zip file. Make sure you use BB52 otherwise that rom will not work. If you look in the basband folder, it actually includes the flashtool so all you have to do is flash the included BB then reboot in xrec to flash update.zip.

The zkernel you'll have to use on a different rom that's compatible with it because the CM7 rom that you asked about above contains it's own customer kernel.

1. You'll have to flash black your stock firmware before SE update would work

2. You got bb54 but that rom/custom kernel is for bb67. I got it to work on bb58 so it might work for you. Give it a try but make sure you make a backup before you begin.
[General Questions and Answers] Alonzzo2:
Whenever I flash a new ROM, i make sure i backed up everything with titanium backup, including call log, sms, contact etc.

But after i restore my backups, some of my contacts are not linked to their facebook/skype accounts, though they were linked when i did the backup.

Does anybody know how to backup these contacts links with titanium backup or any other way?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] crushalot:
Don't the contacts re-link once you install and sign into Skype and facebook for the first time? Mine always seem to re-link after re installing the app that has linking. I do seem to have to install those linked apps from the marketplace and not via the backup.
[General Questions and Answers] mrpaulmanley:
I'm pretty sure crushalot has it right. Facebook only links to your contacts and does not actually modify them. So you would need to re-establish that link through facebook.

Here is an interesting article about google's stance on the way facebook keeps your contact info locked up in facebook.

http://venturebeat.com/2011/02/22/google-facebook-android-contacts/
[General Questions and Answers] Alonzzo2:
I should have mentioned it: some of my contacts are re-linked. but some of them don't.

I have contacts which their google name is unrelated to the facebook name (at google's contacts the name is a nickname, at facebook it's the real name).

Anyways, i didn't figure out the 'rule' by which the re-link with facebook works, all i know is that after i flash a new ROM and restore apps+data+settings using titanium backup, not all of my contacts are re-linked to their facebook profile.
[General Questions and Answers] gqneon:
When I log back into my Google and Facebook, after a while it randomly notifies me I have more contacts to link, sometimes I have to wait a while after everything syncs and it just randomly appears in my notifications. I always seem to have a few that never link back up... not sure why either.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
Have you noticed how quick HTC & Sprint are to fix the issues with the Evo 3D?

Evo 3D has had 2 updates already. 1 before and 1 right after launch.

T-Mo on the other hand does nothing..and the Sensation has way more issues than the Evo 3D.

Let's weigh in and see what you guys think the reason is.

Personally i think it was just a bad batch or 2. Each device seems to have different versions of different problems. most people are only complaining because they go looking for an issue most times. Dust can only be seen if the screen is off is not anything honestly to complain about to me. A couple dead pixels? yes. Lag and things like that can be fixed i think.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
T-Mo likes to put out collective updates that fix multiple things, rather than two small updates that might lead to other issues...

There aren't many major issues with this phone either...most of the ones complained about are hardware (which must be replaced) or user error. There are alot of clueless people complaining about problems that aren't even problems here.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Agree with the above post.....

People have to keep mind that the Sensation is, for a vast majority of owners, a problem free device.

Other than a speck of dust on my first one, my second one is just about perfect....hardware and software.

It's a VERY small % of Sensation owners that ever even look at any forums, let alone post on forums. Even then, the people who are on this forum and have major issues over and over are in the extreme minority.

As far as updates and s-off and all that stuff....wasn't it just a month ago that the CEO of HTC said they were going to change their policy on bootloaders? Thats not long at all...gotta give corporations time to get their ducks in a row.

For me and a VAST majority of owners of this device.....its great and doesn't really need anything that's urgent or absolutely necessary....

Oh....the OP should add one more poll question..... Is everything great with your device? My answer would be yes!
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:

Have you seen the reviews on tmobile.com? This phone has 5 STARS. There's 2 reviews that have 1 star. Probably from an apple fanboy who created accounts to spam.
[HTC Sensation] 05GT:
I picked up my Sensation today, and the only thing that bothers me is the dang voicemail icon that's always there. Other than that. This phone is pretty awesome, and T-Mobile's network speeds compared to what I was getting with Sprint makes me wonder how in the world I stayed with Sprint so long.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
and where is this "LEAK" at??

Yeah jumped the gun on that one. However in your defense, there is a lot of tension on here (all over xda) over some dumb sh__! So can't really blame ya. Sorry I know this is off topic but I have been wanting to say that for a long time. Maybe its a phone forum thing...

Yeah. I don't understand why we all can't get along. We all have the same passion for the same devices. I guess newbies ARE annoying..I can agree on that. But flaming for no reason is so rude and nonproductive.
[HTC Sensation] Castle5665:
So far I'm quite happy with my Sensation. Best device I've had and I've had quite a few. However, it does seem that the Sensation is being pushed aside. At Bestbuy today there were plenty of accessories for the 3D including the Otterbox cases but absolutely nothing for the Sensation. Why? I'm not sure but its becoming rather annoying as this seems to be the case everywhere so far.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
Those cases were pulled. They HAVE TO have the holes in them...So they got pulled because they didnt fit properly and they were blocking some signals for some users.

IDK when they're coming back though.
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
the only issue i had was all my photos including private showing in camera and video apps but fixed with delete.lol
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
I've never had an otterbox case but i do have an official one from T-mobile. I can't tell if the otterbox ones are flexible ,they dont look like they are, but mine is and doesnt have any holes in it. I havent experienced any blockage, in fact it improves my signal. Especially the landscape wi-fi issue. I'm assuming the signal blockage would largely be based on the material of the case?

Can't really blame t mobile as the sensation has been on other carriers first being vodafone uk since may
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
My first and second sensations were perfect the first few days. It seems like they degraded...the touch screen issues get worse with time. Most of the great reviews are done in the first day or 2, before issues come up. It is real strange how great the phone can be one minute then slow the next. I'm talking multiple factory resets and still cant get the carousel back. swipes just dont register as swipes. apps are constantly opening instead of home screen change when swiping. The carousel worked perfect on both sensations when new. It doesn't make sense that it could be a software issue if you set it back to factory defaults and that doesnt help. Unless factory default isn't actually the exact same configuration as when you get the phone new, might not be. Maybe factory default is just HTC's "attempt" at getting the phone back to new like settings, similar to new? maybe something isnt getting wiped right. If that is the case then we need an update quick. I too noticed that the EVO 4D has had multiple updates already. I jumped ship from EVO 4g to get the sensation, maybe i shoulda waited for th 3D! Sensation updates/bug fixes/unlocked bootloader would sure help HTC from a ton of returns.... Also my GPS (both phones) will not connect unless i do a restart. It will connect instantly then, but not for long. The second phone i only put minimal apps on it, just enough to get by. The first phone i installed about 40 apps. I'm having some crazy phantom dialing with the second phone. It'll just start calling someone for no reason, and i cant end it! touch screen is non responsive, does nothing until i hit the power button, then wake it up, swipe the ring about 3 or 4 times, by then the person has answered.. Happened 4 times!
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
No issues whatsoever here. I had like 320 hours up time before a reboot even...
[HTC Sensation] :
That worries me....

My ONLY issues were..

Device 1: Dead Pixels...couldn't take it

Device 2: Dropped signal every couple minutes and never came back, touch issues

Now i am currently on device 3 and its actually cool..But I got the loose ass power button and im torn on what to do about it..think i'll let it ride..i've come to the conclusion that there is no 100% perfect device. maybe a 90% one..but not 100%.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
on the plus side, i don't have dust, death grip or 98% of the glitches that are coming up. Unlike the iPhone, which has a much larger base of owners, when the antenna problem hit, the sheer numbers made them address it. From what i have seen here the issues have been resolved with sim card changes, discovering it was a case issue or people being resigned not to hold the phone a certain way.

I say all this to say that most people are content (from what "I" read) with the Sensation as a whole. There is no unifying glitch or bug that everyone complaining about. Therefore, unless there are speed tweaks/battery tweaks that need to be addressed I don't know what on update is needed for?!?

now, on the flip side, I am seeing a gross disparity in the s-off cracking that is going on between the sensation and the evo 3d. which, in some way may extrapolate to more users who have the phone, which leads to more users in general, which leads to htc paying more attention to the known glitches, which leads to making Sprint happy by heading the larger customer base off at the pass by responding preemptively. Its just a hypothetical reason why the updates are faster, but when you look at the Evo's RAM, Internal memory and bigger battery over the Sensation there "may" be some latent preferential treatment when it comes to the updates. Who knows...
[HTC Sensation] :
You make perfect sense my friend. Appreciate the post.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
thanks. i try (on occasion). lol
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
You do make sense, but I wouldn't say perfect sense :)

There is no bug that appears on EVERY unit, but the lock screen, swiping and wifi issues seem to be happening on every third device... And even more devices are being laggy due to sense 3.0 smothering them.

I've noticed that most people on this forum already swapped their phone for a new one.. Some even twice :\

Don't know which of these problems can be fixed with an update.. But I really hope an (official) update comes soon...
[HTC Sensation] :
Updating.... 3rd device has the "Lock Screen of Death" issue where I can barely move the ring to unlock it. Affects swiping from left to right also. I'm past 14 days as of yesterday and I can't dread calling in. SO i'm going to hang tough until an update comes.

*Falls to knees and prays to Peter Chou*
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
That's really discouraging. You've posted you work for TMO. No internal word on when an update may be coming?

Still seems inconclusive whether the screen and wifi issues are HW or SW. So no guarantee an update will fix them. Either way warranty replacement should still be an option. Whatyou're describing is obviously defective.
[HTC Sensation] byrdman164:
i had to return my first sensation because the touch screen became unresponsive way too frequently. The wifi drop was also a big issue. Also my charging port became loose just after a week, so that was the absolute final straw. The touch screen issue was incredibly frustrating though, and the lower right part of the scre

End seemed to suffer the most. I also couldn't press the back touch key with any success. This is my second sensation now, and so far everything works, its just my battery that sucks horribly...just had it die in four and a half hours.

Overall I do enjoy the phone. I just hate being tied to a charger all the time. It was never this bad with my G2 or either of my Nexus Ones.
[HTC Sensation] :
Dude...some friends of mine that work call center are like on their 4th...There is no hope. This phone is a lost call internally among us employees. We are all left in the dark and i still have to go through the same channels you do.

I have an employee line but i get deals on that line on my anniversary every year. Other wise I stick to my reg. account. I hate calling in... We don't own any of our stores anymore either. So that's a lost cause.

I just want to scream because I'm stuck with this thing that i personally don't know if they are going to deal with because they ARE however acknowledging it internally that it has issues.

Don't mean to discourage you, just being honest.
[HTC Sensation] :
I''m sorry to hear that. That sounds like the exact same issue I am having now.
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
Thank you for your honesty. I have my fourth device being shipped to me on Tuesdsay and if it is the same as the last 3 than I will just return and wait for either Evo3d or Samsung Hercules etc. It just seem odd to me that the Evo3d would have(I believe) 2 updates already and the sensation, which came out earlier than the evo3d has none and has multiple issues. Hard for me to believe that Sprint would allow updates but not T Mobile. Makes me wonder if these issues that seem to be appearing on numerous devices are even fixable with software update. The device I have now was quite good for 12 days and then wham all sorts of the issues being reported on this forum sprung up. It seems as if in the last 48 hours new issues just keep popping up. I now have the wifi issue which was not apparent before as well as battery issues and touchscreen being unresponsive at times. volume has dropped considerably and it was not too swift to begin with. I will still be in my buyers remorse period with this fourth device so I will just return it if it has the same issues which it appears that it will.I will just get a refund and wait for the next device. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Elvis, This third phone that is messing up now is it the flat screen one? damn i hope not, was hoping for a sign :( I took mine back today and it mysteriously acted perfect at walmart. Carousel was fast as hell, felt like a new phone again :( Still does, but for how long?
[HTC Sensation] :
That's how I feel. It's getting progressively worse right now. I just did a hard reset (Hold the Volume-Down button while powering up) and it did nothing at all. I am so upset right now that I am red..sad part is I'm black so I shouldn't be red..lol

IDK what to do. Just talked to my boss who said he is on her 3rd device also So i stumped. Done complaining because clearly nobody cares to fix this. Makes me want Root more.

I don't even want a custom ROM either. Just a stock minus bloat and no more freezing.
[HTC Sensation] :
Yes it's that one... ON the phone as we speak with Care...IDK what they're going to do. I am waiting on him to come back to the line.

I asked for Technical Support and got Regular Care anyway. He did acknowledge they are aware of the issue and have been directed to swap the device with no question, however he must speak to Technical Support before starting my exchange.

Will update you after I get off with them
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
How is it that some of us can get 3-4 phones. Taiwan, China, curved, flat and still have the problems. Makes me wonder if everyone that syas they arent having problems may have just got the phone?
[HTC Sensation] :
They're sending me a new one next day free of charge. Crossing my fingers hoping i get a good one.
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I got my phone 3 days after launch (shipping from T-Mobile) and its been great overall.

Only issue I sometimes get is the touch screen stops responding within Sense, if I sneak into a menu or something it works just fine. Sometimes I can sneak it back to full functionality by going in / out of an application. Other times a reboot does the trick, happened 3 times.

Now that could be me sending too much data to it at once or not, this is my first Android device and I had other more annoying problems with my HD2.

Signal strength is good and I have yet to drop anything. The case does seem to limit my signal a little but I'm averaging 3 - 6Mbits down and 1 - 3mbits up at home which is find with me. I color myself in the very pleased group for now.
