[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Very odd behavior. One thing that could be tried is to reapply the SBF using RSDLite. However, it may not be of any benefit doing that since the phone hasn't been rooted, the system files should still be primarily untouched. Other than that, I'm wondering if the keyboard layout schema has been changed somehow by a market app.
[Motorola Droid X2] Igtenio:
That, or it's a hardware issue of some sort. I don't know the internal layout of the X2, but maybe, somehow, something's been swapped around?

What happens when you push the Volume Down button? Does the Back button turn volume down and go back, or does it only turn the volume down? What apps have been installed on it?

Also, it sounds stupid, but have you actually checked to make sure it's not rooted? Chances are if you haven't it's not, but I've come across "new" phones before that were refurbished, usually from testing or display, that some jackass did something to and the company couldn't be bothered to reset them.

My best bet is an exchange. If it's doing this out the gate from purchasing, I'd get a new one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garak0410:
Forgive my ignorance, but how can I tell if I have color bleed? That is, how can I tell if it is by design or a problem? I hear many talking about color bleeding but I don't think I've encountered it on my TF.

I did try the dead pixel test and all colors looked good.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] degeneration:
I think you mean light bleed, not color bleed.

Here's the thing, if you don't notice a problem, then in theory there is no problem. If people tell you what to look for, the littlest problem will suck your eyes straight to it every time.

It is only a cosmetic issue, so if you don't see anything wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
totally agree.... if you havent spotted a problem dont go looking for one or you will always see it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xTRICKYxx:
Yup! The day I got my tablet, I was like "ZOMG SO PERFECT" then I drooled for a little while...

Reading these forums, I discovered how to check for light bleeds, (not telling you OP! its for your own good!) But I noticed one on my bottom left hand part of the screen. My eye wanders there a lot and I cringe a little bit. *sigh*

Its so small though... About the size of a fingernail
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garak0410:
When in the settings menu, I do see a light streak near the lower part of the screen...I goes almost across the screen...I thought iwas there I n purpose like an accent or something...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
The blue line is there in purpose.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
I am sure you are right but I really can not see why it exists. What is its purpose?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garak0410:
Probably an accent color...doesn't really bother me...my TF had been pretty good so far...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Seriously, I never realized anything was wrong until I read about light bleeding and how to check for it in these forums. :( Ignorance is bliss!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
Going from 4.22 to 4.24 OTA if you kept it stock and rooted will keep the root?

Going from 4.22 to 4.24 was just bug fixing and does not touch any part of the phone other than those bugs?

okay, so is this true? I have yet to see a real answer of yes or no. I saw people with 2-3 posts saying it. but need an expert opinion on this? It takes a long ass time to put my phone back to how it was when I do a full wipe/flash. just trying to save some time. Don't have time to sit and wait 2-3 hours for my phone to recover. so the OTA doesn't in any form or way touch bootloader or root or anything that would cause damage to the OS? of course talking about the 6M one. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
I wouldn't chance it. There were a couple of OTA's back in the day that didn't touch the bootloader (that I was aware of) that caused people to lose root. In particular this affected me because one of the updates didn't have a root exploit and I needed to wait a week or two to root my phone :( (so...awful...haha)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
I mainly want to know if someone has done it on this exact update and if it worked or didn't work. :-D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
The only people who would have done it are people who don't read in the first place. If they did read, they'd know that nobody recommends accepting an OTA when you're rooted. So since anyone who's tried what you're asking doesn't read, they won't have read your post either. :)

You will lose root access when you accept the OTA. Normally you can get it back if you're S-OFF, though there's always some level of risk if they really wanted to get serious about locking people out. But there's no reason to try, since you can go here and just flash a rooted version of the ROM. You'll end up doing that anyway if you want to have root access, so you're wasting time and taking a risk by accepting the OTA.

You should be able to flash the updated rooted rom without wiping data -- just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
I'll try it next weekend. lol. just didn't want to spend time doing it. haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Use recovery to do a nandroid (include android_secure and ext3 in the backup if you use them), and then there's really no risk of losing your setup. You can always restore back to where you are. A Titanium Backup run is also quite useful. But like I said, you should be able to flash the rooted 4.24 ROM over the rooted 4.22 you're running with only a wipe of cache and dalvik. That's basically how the OTA does the upgrade for non-rooted users.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzouse:
Yes you can update without losing root as long as you have used either the newest unrevoked method for evo's OR unrevoked forever. Just do not update over the air, as in just download it but do not install it. Follow this link step by step:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It's never a good idea to accept an ota update if you are rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
But that's if you're going from the old one to the completely new one. I'm going from 4.22 to 4.24

The instructions given are flat out wrong and don't even work. the OTA isn't in the cache folder. I've checked. errrrrrrrr. sounds like it needs to be updated. that thread is clearly upgrading to 22, not 24.

Well, I'm just going to use clockworkmod to install it. lmao Will this work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsupra:
Flash one of the roms in the development section. Wipe cache and dalvik like stated and go on about your way without risking your root status.

Besides that, if you did first flash a deodexed 4.22 from here and try to apply the sprint 4.24 patch you will have a system conflict between the odex and deodex files
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
To help answer your question, if you're currently rooted and accept the OTA, you will loose root access, BUT as long as you don't flash the S-On tool you will still be able to flash after downloading a custom recovery such as Amon_Ra and then continue flashing whatever you want. I have done this to many phones since the update and haven't had a single problem yet. But if you flash S-On, you're screwed until they are able to hack the new Bootloader.

Even after accepting the OTA and having S-Off, your hBoot will update but you Can go back to Froyo if desired and hBoot will change back to Froyo compatible 2.10 not 2.16. So I hope my answer helps and will let you know what you're looking for!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
I installed the 22 odex version. and I am now at this second doing the 24 odex version. so hope everything goes well. haha. if not. made a backup. so hope the backup works. :-D Just trying to avoid spending hours on getting my phone back in order because downage means money and time lost.

EDIT= so CONFIRMING that going from 22 to 24 with going through clockworkmod completely works without any issues. I was just afraid to do it. hahahaha just as long as you don't wipe data and cache

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Deyez:
So I just got a new Galaxy Tab this last Friday. Love it! How pure is the Google in the stock ROM? It is the first I have seen of Honeycomb, and not sure how much Samsung has tinkered with the UI already if any. Then I saw another post where they are about to shove out an update that includes TouchWiz. So I'm not real into using TouchWiz. I'm on a Nexus S for my mobile and love it as well.

Basically, guess I asking if the 10.1 is already pure 3.1? If so, I am going to go ahead and root and call it good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
I have a XOOM and a Galaxy Tab 10.1. The XOOM is supposed to be a "pure Google device" or Google experience device, and I see virtually no differences between the two. It looks like Samsung, for whatever reason, left Honeycomb alone with the exception of a few minor changes like the addition of a Kies option in USB settings, and minor stuff like that.

In fact, I wish they would have done a little customizing. The file system doesn't support files over 4GB, while the XOOM does. They bailed on an SD card hack, which the transformer and iconia have. And they did nothing to improve the video playback over stock Honeycomb.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mesasone:
I'm looking forward to the Touchwiz update. I'll go ahead and install it when it's available. If I don't like it, then I'll just flash back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] radiohead14:
Samsung added their own keyboard which is optional to use. The stock browser doesn't seem to have Labs, tho not sure if that was Samsung's doing.

[HTC EVO 3D] dgebrael83:
Hello everyone,

here are some old tips to save battery on your evo 3d:

Click: Menu + Settings + Accounts & Sync

*under manage accounts make sure to uncheck everything except Google, since your contact are most likely stored on Google.

Click: menu + location

Keep "use wireless network" CHECKED.

uncheck use GPS satellites

uncheck Phone finder

Location settings: Off

Click: menu + Wireless & Network

*Make sure only your mobile network is on everything else you may uncheck, and always use wifi when available (home, work, etc). all of the other options should only go on when you want them to.

Once again these are old tips that have helped me with my evo 4g and are working fine with evo 3d.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Am curious as to what security app you guys use to protect your phone from malware etc.

There are so many out there such as Lookout, Avg, GuardX etc. so would like to know what you recommend and why, especially something with low battery consumption.

I was going to try Lookout but have read something about them passing your info to 3rd parties!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
yep, me too! ;)

(get it free from the market :p)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I am fairly certain lookout does NOT do anything like that, but if you have a link to what you saw, I will certainly look into it and speak to my contact there.

I use lookout myself, and I can assure you that AVG isn't a proper AV app...

It simply looks at the package name to decide if it's harmful... So if you take the hello world sample, and name it org.example.malicious.app (you'd need to use one in their database), the hello world sample would show as malicious...

They classified superuser app as malicious... So take a look at http://androidsu.com/2011/06/a-word-about-superuser-and-security/

By extension of this, a malicious app can simply be renamed, and it gets past AVG... I could write a script that would serve up an APK purporting to be something, which would have a different random name each time (dictionary words perhaps), and which would get past AVG...

Lookout certainly appears to me to be scanning the applications correctly. I am pretty sure I've tried renaming the malware internally (reverse engineering a virus sample) and it was detected fine...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leftovermagic:
I use LBE Privacy Guard (rooted with the stock rom) to control permissions on a per app basis.

Thanks guys for your input.

Thankfully the common sense app is available in my area and is also a non-piracy zone (you've got to be a real tight arse to begrudge paying a few pounds for such great apps).

Will try and find where i read about Lookout but in the meantime may give it a go from pulser_g2's recommendation or try LBE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I am not too keen on the way in which it goes about doing what it does... I ain't a fan of injecting code before the dalvik layer...

If you have utmost trust in whoever made it, fair enough. But I am not certain it's the best way to do it technically... I don't have enough trust in something to let it hook in early like that tbh...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
So there's got to be some app which does the job properly? Or is there none? Are you telling me there is not a single antivirus/internet security app for android mobile phones out there???

Come on, fellas......give some meaningful recommendations. Straight question......What's the best app out there for guarding your phone on the internet?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
What about Kaspersky mobile security, Netquin anti virus, McAfee wavesecure, Webroot security anti virus???

Has anyone used them? What's the opinion of the senior tech gurus here about them? Honest answers would be appreciated so that we can arrive at a consensus "best antivirus/internet security" app out there. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaBlo:
Yeah that's the problem, I don't trust him at all. It's some chinese guy who don't answer questions on xda. But apparently someone from Lookout checked the app out, and it's clean. But I guess it's unnecessary if you use common sense anyway.

Can you post the link/thread from where you downloaded the froyo ROM. Also ignore the ! icon, just check in ADB if debugging is working or not. Enable USB debugging in Settings and after plugging in the USB select "Charge Only" mode.

Open adb and type "adb devices"

if it shows one device, then you're all good.

[Defy General] bikerabhinav:
There's nothing wrong with USB debugging or your cell. It's just that you're using the wrong command syntax.

once you type "adb shell" you DO NOT have to type adb before every next command because you're already inside adb prompt.

Just write "push Xyz.apk /sdcard/Xyz.apk"

or

write this command when inside windows prompt , i.e when not inside "adb shell"

C:\>adb push xyz.apk /sdcard/xyz.apk

(notice it's C prompt)

Skip writing 'adb' before each command once you are inside adb shell

Hi Folks,

M relatively very new to android usage. I recently brought Samsung Nexus S which I loaded with MIUI to experiment and experience a richer UI feel. However, it didn't work too well for me due to stability issues like message keeps crashing even after applying mms.apk patch.

Well after been thru with the experiment, I want to get back to stock ROM which came with Nexus S. I referred to the forum link but I keep getting an error as installation failed in recovery mode. Is there something wrong that I am doing. Some One please help!!!!!

It would be great if I can have my nexus S on dual boot with both MIUI and Stock ROM installed and I having option to chose one while booting the phone.. However, that is not a must have....

Must have is only a way to get back to Stock ROM for Nexus... All help very much appreciated.

<Many Thanks to all...
[Nexus S General] Babydollll:
You know that the Nexus S rewrites the stock recovery over every boot (unless you rename it) Can you boot into fastboot? And reflash CWM?

Sent from my NS (no it's NOT SNS or GNS)
[Nexus S General] kareeem:
Moved to Nexus S forums for better exposure.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
To get back to stock:

a) boot into fastboot mode (vol up + power on)

b) flash cwm recovery via adb console (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img) (recovery file has to be inside the /tools folder in adb)

c) go into cwm recovery

d) mount usb storage

e) after pop up on pc: copy the the correct zip for your NxS type on your sdcard/usb storage. Download it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056062

f) unmount usb storage

g) stay inside the recovery menu, but go to install from zip menu

h) navigate to the zip file you downloaded and placed on your usb storage at e)

i) confirm the installation and wait for it to finish

j) move to top recovery menu, choose reboot and you're done, stock Android 2.3.4 :)

If you get any unknown device errors you're missing usb drivers for your phone mostlikely, get them from the guides on this forum.

If everything else fails you. Go to www.samfirmware.com > Toolbox > firmware > etc > choose correct firmware for your NxS model. After downloading Odin itself from samfirmware.com (Toolbox > programs) as well.

Start Odin, there should be a yellow field with a port number (if not you're missing drivers). Make sure only "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" are checked. Add the correct files from the zip you got off samfirmware.com. Bootloader belongs to Bootloader, PDA to PDA and Phone to Modem. CSC can be left empty, it'll just change the carrier info inside the bootloader. Press "Start", wait for Odin to finish, it'll say when it's done (takes ~2-3mins, yellow field is now blue and says "Pass").
[Nexus S General] kirtivardhan:
I am able to get in cwm and perform a fastboot. unfortunately, I keep getting error when i select the zip file to install the stock rom.

a) you downloaded a corrupted file (compare mp5 tags if possible)

b) you downloaded the wrong rom for your device

c) the rom has to be in the top folder of the sdcard/usb storage

d) did you unmount the usb storage after copying the file onto your phone?

This makes me wonder though, you mixed up the order? Booting into fastboot is performed before flashing/entering cwm recovery.
