[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I certainly don't recommend this approach. Instead of HTC having to do a relatively inexpensive firmware reflash (essentially free to them) they have to replace a mainboard to refurb the device. This raises costs for all of us.

Can you actually get to an hboot screen? Have your tried "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot oem-42" while the phone is booted? If you leave it off for awhile as you mentioned, can you boot it to hboot with the VOL-UP POW combination? If so, you got a route for recovery.

If you feel you must brick the device, try to do it in the firmware only by zeroing out an essential partition. Use a terminal emulator or "adb shell" and do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

I was able to get RUU to flash back to stock this morning. It rebooted consistently a few times, then right back to the orange flashing light. I'm comfortable sending it back now at least.

Thanks for your help everybody.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
My phone vibrated 3 times and started flashing orange when it suffered water damage. Not saying that this is your problem, but I do know that these indicators indicate damage of some sort. Be careful about returning it for warranty because if they come to the conclusion that its damage caused by the user, they will charge you full price of the phone. Food for thought.

Can I activate my T mobile Galaxy Tab on Sprint. I'm done with T Mobile they changed there data cap on my Vibrant when I changed my plan to unlimited everything. It was 5gb now its only 2gb.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manekineko:
Sprint won't work because your Tab is GSM.

Only other option for you is AT&T.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bauerlucas:
well shoot
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can buy a sim card from SimpleMobile and get your tab back in business. Be sure to purchase the unlimited data plan.

The price, speed and coverage is the same as t-mobile - you are on that t-mobile network, using bandwidth rented by SimpleMobile.

Thad the only choice other than wifi only.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beda_boy:
Hi,

I made a backup of my phone contacts using Kies. I saved the contacts.spb file to my PC but I am unable to load them back to my phone. I have tried these steps but no luck:

Method 1

1. connected the phone to PC

2. Opened Samsung Kies

3. Opened the contacts.spb file from PC

4. "Transfer to Device" option in Kies is disabled.

Method 2(without using Kies)

1. connected my phone to PC

2. browse the contacts.spb file in my PC

3. saved it in the main folder of my phone.

I didn't find anything by searching, maybe because I'm the only one who doesn't know how to reload the contacts back to my phone:rolleyes:

Appreciate any help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxt4:
same here.. I dont have customl Rom , I lost my contacts while flashing , Can anyone tell me any way of restoring contacts as i have got contacts backup via kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grakon:
ive got the same problem and looking at having to go back to stock just to get that .spb file and starting all over again,

Kies will see the phone but say

'cannont start service on device. please disconect then reconect the device.'

and with usb debugging turned on

'reconect the device in samsung (pc studio ) mode. current mode not suported by Kies.'

and if you put the contacts.spb on the memory card and try import into contacts you get

'scanning sd card failed (reason no vcard files found on sd card)'

any other options before i have to start flashing again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
You need to restore the contacts in KIES. You can't just transfer the spb file.

Personally I prefer to backup in VCF. Just go to the contacts app, then hit menu, import/export and export to the SD card. It gives you the VCF file which you can then import back through the contacts app. Much safer since VCF is an common standard format. You can even import the SGSII's VCF file into an iPhone4 and it works fine.

[General Questions and Answers] mac227:
Ok, so I bought a Nexus S outright, just the phone from bestbuy back in March. Everything works with my phone except when steaming videos (using youtube) the playback is choppy. The audio works perfect and fine. It is not the buffering either. When the video is playing, the picture will freeze for about 3-7 seconds, while the audio is still playing normally, then the video will pick back up in sync with the playback. Basically it is impossible to watch video so my phone useless when it comes to watching anything on it. I realize I should of done something earlier, but is it too late to try to get bestbuy to give me a new phone? Or should I contact samsung? Or am I just screwed?

[Q] Did you try updating the flash player that might help
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
This is the newest version on the market.. I still left links to the older version just in case.. Thanks to ecsnead69 for icons and helping me locate a few things...... Enjoy!

On the screenshots, the blue icons and the blue divider are from my theme.. they're not in the app

Installation Guide:

1. You need to check if Gmail is located in the system partition or Data first. To do this the easy way is to go to settings/apps/manage/all/Gmail and if you have the option to uninstall then it's data.. otherwise it's system.. or, use root explorer and go check both partitions..

2. If your's is in data/app then just uninstall your's and then this one will install like a normal app. If you get any fc's at first, go to settings/apps/manage/all/Gmail or Dark Gmail and clear cache and data from the app.. that fixes it.

3. If your's is in system/app use Titanium Backup or root explorer to uninstall the app and then REBOOT... then install this one. It'll install to data so if you get any fc's, clear cache and data in the app or move it to system.. I've had all of mine in data and they were originally in system and I've had no issues at all...

Am loving the look of your apps, there is just one thing that I have been trying to do the your modded apps but have been having trouble.

I've been busy with stuff so I haven't made any new apps with the stock icon... and on the inverted versions tilt your screen slightly and you can easily see the difference between read and unread... and on transparent its easy to see the difference....

Could a theme affect whether or not you can see the difference between read and unread? I installed inverted and then switched o transparent and can't tell a difference with either?
[Android Themes] dnorthington:
Ok. I figured out the difference. Its very subtle. Unread messages have a gray dash and ellipsis after the subject. It disappears once the message is marked read.
[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Yeah it's not a huge difference... I just tilt my screen a little and i can see it tho... on transparent the darker the wallpaper the harder to tell but on a lighter wp it's very noticeable ... glad ya got it figured out tho...

The text color can't be white since fancy HTML email use a white bg that I can't change.. you'd have white on white... sorry. The read/unread is noticeable if you slightly tilt your screen... I am on ics now so I'm not maintaining this version anymore...

Yes there is open your stock web browser and type about:debug in the address bar. Then go to settings and it will be located in all the way near the bottom called smooth rotate. Don't touch any of the other settings though.

Just before halfway through you can see it rotate as it changes orientation. Just a smooth transition whereas the htc phones are kind of an instant switch.

Thanks tuscani, so the stock browser is the only place? I'll check this out. It'd be cool if it happened everywhere like moto (can't believe I'm saying moto is cool in any way)

I know this is an old thread but I am from thailand and I have the Z715e (Sensation XE supporting 900/2100 but would have liked 850MHZ). Moving from an iphone, which is quadband, i did not know there was an issue with frequency band and now I cannot use 3g on my network and am looking for some solution.

I see that Samsung Galaxy S and S2 also had this problem earlier regarding frequency band but with some internal unlock, they were able to use all bands. So, is there no similar way with the HTC Sensation XE or is it absolutely hardware only?? Would HTC invest in making two seperate radio ship for different phones?

Sincerely,

$24.99 dual USB Cigarette lighter adapter 1 & 2 amp
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
Unfortunately, worthless.

Transformer needs 11v-15v to charge reasonably well. Any 5v charger, even at 1000000 amps, will not charge the TF with screen lit, or charge takes days with TF turned off.

Much harder to find auto chargers in the 11v-15v range, some that say 12v are actually not. I found one advertised as 12v (that measures 9.8v actually) and it also did not charge TF. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] WoodburyMan:
Wont work. Unlike most devices the Transformer does not use 5v to charge like the iPhone and many other Android devices. It does use USB but it will only charge via Asus's special chargers. This is because our Transformers charge via 15volt and the charger cable is actually a USB 3.0 cable that has extra pins in back, and the 15volt pin is one of these extra pins the USB 3.0 layout provides.

Edit Bob Smith42 beat me to it by a few seconds lol
