[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I don't think the G2X is the worst phone. I think its a great phone providing you get the bug free version. Mine is still running perfect. It has never rebooted itself nor has it froze. I wish I could say the same about the few bad G2X's my wife went through. Fact of the matter is I like my G2X for what I use it for. I strictly use it as my gaming/movie device so my Sensation which I use for everything else doesn't die before days end. Games and movies look better on the G2X due to the better contrast and colors. I also think the accelerometer is better on the G2X which makes playing Super Stunt Jet Cars and Home Run Battle 3D better. The Sensation is better used for reading, Facebook, browsing the web, video recording and still shots. I also find it easier to type on due to the larger display. I don't find browsing tge web or looking at Facebook any faster on the Sensation but where it excells is once again the display size and resolution. There is no arguing that point just like there isn't arguing the G2X is a better gaming device.

In the end, neither phone wows me and I have no problem pointing out the flaws on either one. I will not sit here and say something is ok just because I invested money into something. Some people just don't like admitting the phone they use is inferior to something else in certain categories. I really could care less if someone has somthing bad to say about my phone as long as its not a lie or their just saying it because they read it on tge interwebs. Everything I've said about both of these devices has came from experience. Not hearing it from someone else.

By the way, the last couple sentences were not directed towards you. I was making a general statement.

Here's a question: are we even sure the Prime is even going to be compatible with tmo? Google seems to have jumped ship to Sprint and they use a different radio. Now granted the Hercules is probably going to have near identical hardware, but still I would rather have the flagship.

when I boot my phone up, instead of the htc and boot animation screen it stays a black screen, Whenever I try to back up my current ROM or Go into recovery mode the screen goes black untill I take out the battery and reboot, what could be causing this problem and how could I fix it? Like I said I can't get into CWM so a wipe is out of the question, and adb isn't an option right now, please help

You should stop bumping this thread. Nobody is posting in this forum so you don't have to worry about your thread being lost...

Similar thing happened to me, but I could actually get to the HTC screen. What you need to do is set up adb, and get to your bootloader by holding vol. down + power and start fastboot usb. There is no way to fix an issue like this if you can't use/get into your recovery. From there you can try fastboot erase system -w and then fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery] and then fashboot update [CM7.zip].

From within your rom you need to download the CWM recovery image and save it on your SDcard. Name it recovery.

Use terminal emulator and type in:

Su

Ls sdcard

Flash_image recovery recovery.img

This will flash the recovery back you your phone

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tun4f1sh:
Assuming you've tried to flash recovery from ROM manager (Choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" within ROM manager), if not - do that.

Otherwise, try this:

Download this: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img

rename it to "recovery.img" and place it on the root of your SD card.

Use terminal emulator on your phone, and type the following 1 line at a time:

su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery.img

Hello,

I have had problems with the bluetooth voice command volume with my samsung galaxy. I have taken and had it replaced but i still have low volume when initializing the voice command. The Tech paired it up and has the same unit which worked fine. Once the phone is connected normal volume is realized.

Has anyone found a solution either with a code adjustment or an application?

I have seen many application but was looking for one that has been tried and provides a solution. I have a blueAnt light, I love it but if anyone has a better direction that will match up to the samsung I would like to hear from you.

thanks in advance

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookaddict:
Hi Everyone,

I appreciate the great work developers have been putting in exploring the hidden capabilities of Nook.

I am struggling with USB host now. Here is my situation:

I have a pair of Logitech USB speakers (Please google, Logitech audio Hub, since I am not allowed yet to post direct links).

These use external power and were originally being used with my notebook connecting via USB.

Now, since I do not use my laptop any more and use only NOOK, I am interested in using them with Nook.

I am currently running Nook with CM-7.1.0-RC1-encore. Is it possible to use these speakers? I read a thread about USB host and some people have mentioned using USB audio but I am not sure if they are using powered ones and I am concerned whether connecting a powered speaker may fry the USB port.

Any thoughts, experience, ideas would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Update to a recent nightly. There have been so many updates for USB there is no point in trying to troubleshoot the RC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookaddict:
Sure, I will update to that. Any other directions to get the USB speakers working?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
I read your post and decided to try it. I do not have the speakers you mentioned but do have a set of insignia usb powered speakers.

I turned on host mode and connected the speakers to the nook. Tried 3 different games and had the same results. The speakers will power up and receive a signal from the nook. They work for about 20-25 seconds then lose the signal from the nook . I have to reset host mode to reenable them.

At this time, I would recommend using powered speakers through the headphone jack or a headset. Not sure what's going on through host mode but it had me worried when I had to reset host mode 3 times.

I'll run a logcat to see what's going on in the system but it looks like a no-go for the present. I get excellent results from powered speakers through the headphone jack. Just a thought and I'll get back to you with the results of the logcat.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookaddict:
Thanks a lot Moshe5368 for your response. The problem I have is that these speakers do not have 3.5 MM input and USB connection is the only possibility.

Though they are really nice speakers, I guess if this doesn't work then its time to just order another pair of speakers.

I have just ordered the USB converter today (from Micro USB to USB-F) and have not tried it with the speakers I own yet. Will test that and revert back on what I find.

BTW, the speakers I have are powered with regular power (USB connection is just for Audio signal). Do you suggest I try them? Any chance they could fry the Nook's USB port?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
It is a possibility that that type speaker would work. My logcat showed (if I read it right) that since the speakers were drawing their power from the usb port (even through the usb powered hub) I exceeded the power available through the micro USB port on the nook.

I was not sure what to expect but thought that might be the case. I have a set of powered speakers from jwin that plug into the headphone jack and perform perfectly.

Let me know what your results are.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookaddict:
Sure. I will keep you posted as soon my adapter arives.

1) does your charging LED turn on when you plug it in

2) If not, your phone is a hard brick - no recovery possible.

Go get your firmware from the stock thread in general or one of Ramad's pre rooted firmwares. Follow the instructions to flash. You just need to reflash, it'll work out just fine. Then worry about kernels.

Speed mod kernel is what worked best for me in FroYo to lag fix and root, I recommend it highly.

First, thanks for your help dude,

I thought the phone is dead, but i said lets try one more time before i go to fix it somewhere.

Now im in download mode, can i flash rom with a tar file i have, its a stock rom of the company i bought it from, i need other file then .tar or the .tar is enough?

can i plug it to the charger while in download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
No problem buddy.

If the tar is a full rom, flash it as a PDA with no other files. Make sure repartition is not checked.

You can plug it in, but there is no over charge protection so make sure it doesn't overheat for too long. You do need the battery to be over 65% though, to flash safely.other than that, flash normally. Tell me if you need instructions on flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apex88:
this is how i flash:

get my device to download mode.

open odin v1.7, open the tar file as PDA

connect the device to the usb, auto reboot and F.reset time and the only option checked and then i press "start".

Is there anything else i have to do?

OK i installed JVQ stock rom and its working :)

I thank you very much my friend you helped me alot.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
Make sure to kill all kies processes in the task manager before starting. Make sure you have the usb drivers installed. Also start and get odin ready before plugging in your phone in download mode.

I wanted only wanted to ask some questions;

1. What is the difference between root and unlock bootloader?

2. What does s-off mean?

3. What at all do I have to know about root and unlock bootloaders of the htc evo 3d GSM (eu version)?

4. Will there also be an official unlock for the bootloaders like for the evo 3d of sprint?

5. What at all do I have to do if i only want to have superuser, set cpu and market enabler?

6. And at last what could you recommend?

I hope you can help me I really need the help ;)

MN
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I dont' have all the answers but I'll make an attempt to help!

1) root access is superuser (admin) access on the device. giving access to all files and all directories. no access is restricted in the operating system.

unlocked bootloader generally means the internal memory write process has been disabled and security is turned off.

2) s-off is short for security off

3) not sure, i only own cdma version

4) yes, it was released last night at htcdev.com

5) if you want superuser (root access) to persist past reboot, you will need write access to the internal memory. write access to the internal memory only comes through an unlocked bootloader. setcpu requires root access. if you dont' have a permanent root which persists past reboot, you will have to root the device each time it boots and want to use setcpu. i dont know what market enabler is...

6) at this point, its still very early in understanding what exactly the official htc unlock allows and doesn't allow. i would suggest using alpharevx/unrevoked's revolutionary.io method as they have been around for a while and provided great/solid work in the past.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] MettlerNikola:
thanks alot, could you please give me the link of your root / unlock method?

to nr. 4 i saw that at htcdev.com it says htc evo 3d unlock only for sprint, so if that is correct it wouldn't work with my gsm version...

[HTC EVO 3D] zdalin2003:
hi, as far as i know, there are two models of the evo 3d - one is cdma, and the other one is gsm (which you most likely have if you got it in europe). Because of this, there are two unlock methods, one is for the cdma version and the other one for gsm. don't mix them up or you could brick your phone!!

I've just now started searching for ways to root the evo 3d gsm, as i'll get mine next week :D

just use google to search root evo 3d gsm

or read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218183
[HTC EVO 3D] davelangmaid:
I rooted my UK gsm EVO 3d using the revolutionary tool and it was very easy (thanks to unrevoked and AlphaRev) there some good videos on YouTube showing how to use it. Just check your h-boot ( to view h-boot remove battery then power on phone while holding volume down key down) is the same as on the documentation page. ( mine was HTC EVO 3D GSM (shooteru) 1.49.0007)

Once rooted make sure you use cwm (clockworkmod) to nandroid backup (back up hole state of phone).
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
You need to see which hboot version you have on your phone before starting to root it.

To check this, power off your phone, take the battery out, put it back in and then hold "Volume Down" button while powering the device on. This will take you to the bootloader screen.

On this screen you'll see some lines, where one of them will say "HBOOT" and then some numbers.

If the version is 1.49.0007 or 1.49.0008, then your phone can very easily be rooted.

IF the version is one of the above, follow this little guide

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17049477&postcount=7

And also take a look at this video, it helped me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6cT4UEKE

(It is also linked in the guide post)

If you follow this guide (confirmed working for the EU GSM HTC EVO 3D (like mine)), then you will have full root, SU, unlocked bootloader and S-OFF.

This will enable you to use SetCPU, market enabler, and all other root programs.

You should not use the official HTC unlock tool, since it is a big failure and will only cause your more trouble.

Feel free to ask more questions if you're unsure about something, rather be safe than sorry (:
