[Off-topic] CallMeAria:
That's unfortunate. Its been my experience that All Carriers have their issues with things. I can't complain about att anymore than I could when I had t mobile or Verizon. In fact the only complaint with att was how slow they got going with Android..but they have an excellent selection of phones now and the service had been great for the two plus years i've had them. I've never had to deal with customer support though so I can't vouch for that...but I guess that's a good thing. As for the Aria its been a great phone for me since I got in June of 2010 and now it will be a dedicated work phone in a week when I finally upgrade.
[Off-topic] Cruxado:
You know, you guys made me think of a question.

What will become of your Aria after new phone??

Maybe someone can create a Console Aria ROM to run like a Sega Genesis or a DS! :D
[Off-topic] Deleted member 3452239:
I love my aria. But I am sad because most of the good stuff is HDPI. My aria expires next september, and I will keep it in the case for backup. And when next september comes, I will make sure I get a phone that can run MIUI. :)

As long as your unlocked, boot into fastboot mode & install RomRacers CWM via fastboot. And then you can boot into android recovery and flash 2.3.4 fruitcake, and should be good to go after that.

I have done it with newest version of Skype from Market. You need to be on Gingerbread to use FFC though. I have successfully done it TB to TB, TB to DINC2, and TB to PC via Skype.

You both need go into the Skype app, from the main screen press menu then settings. Go all the way down and ensure the Enable Video Calls is checked.

Currently using sensation n hating it as the speaker it too soft n RAM management is no good in this phone, so juz asking shall I sell thus phone now n get sgs2 or wit for m1, Samsung Hercules or a better phone?
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
RAM management...? The only reason there's never any free RAM is Sense 3.0 hogging it all. Once we can get pure AOSP, there'll be a lot more free RAM :)

As for your speaker problem, try Volume+ from the Market. It may help.

True AOSP cannot contain proprietary licensed software, so no Google Maps or Youtube, or GMail or anything like that.

[General Questions and Answers] culljosh:
This is my first post and, I am truly sorry if I did not see anything already in General about a Rom Selection.

My first root is going to be a EVO 3D. I have found your page on doing so and it was very useful. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192245)

I just need suggestions on what ROM to take on. I saw that the biggest are the mikG and Viper rom. If my understanding is correct you can get better battery life with Viper? Thats what I am aiming for.

Also once flashed could I go back to the original stock rom, lets say if sprint found out? or my phone broke and I needed to get a new one? I am sure some sort of warranty is not valid.

Also would Windows be the best option to root with or could I just use my iMac?

I greatly appreciate your time and if I am overstepping my bounds then I would be glad if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks much.

Culljosh
[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
This may be better suited for the evo3d section in q and a or general.

However, I could highly recommend both roms though i am not a e3d user. Once you are rooted make a back up. There are RUU'S which will take you back to stock if necessary though it is no longer sprints policy to take action on rooted phones.

I honestly don't keep backups unless I am going to flash something new and had a flawless setup prior. Just have fun and keep a backup of what is working, as in backup as soon as you root. Get titanium backup also, for your apps.

You will most likely flash a lot of roms initially until you find one you love. Or your dev updates every few days. Have fun!

On the platform, I am not familiar with the new exploit but I am sure they support both Mac and pc

P.S give Viperrom a go for me, I am jealous he is over there and I am here... though he left behind a great mod for us evo users.

[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
OH,OH,OH,OH,OH, I know the answer to this one. It happens to me all the time. My stock message app which you can't get rid of for any mms sms to work defaults to keeping attachments on phone storage. When that happens it moves it all to the phone storage and you get that message. I also found if your always trying new roms that the camera will default to phone storage too. Go change that all to sd card and then remove the pictures and attachments. Get a cache cleaner run that and you hopefully will be good to go. That is what I find works for me. Let me know how it goes.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
You should check your data/data partition with root explorer or terminal emulator (I think the command is df -h data/data). Maybe watch your dialer and messaging storage too, go to settings>applications>manage applications and look through all your apps and check their data and cache. Delete whatever is using too much space.

I am running the one in your second link right now. No low space but I only loaded it up 6 or 8 hours ago. Move what ever apps you can to your SD card also

Tethering? Anybody help a noob?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Verizon locks it out unless you pay $20 extra per month I believe.

You can root the phone and do it for free though, however IIRC now they have a way to find out you did that. But if I were you I'd do it anyway and use it till you get caught.

But thanks for sharing

Next time I won't buy a htc
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Just remember though flash memory is extremely volatile, and ripping a battery out of a phone generally isn't a good idea to begin with, although I was lucky to read about the vol up/down + power procedure before I rooted my phone.

Very interesting post, interesting to see the bigger picture behind this issue.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
so here's the deal - I am 99.9% sure that the bricked eMMC chip is a problem only in devices with a chip that was faulty in the first place. When the phone first came out, there were MANY threads on the hardware faults like "Battery cover not fitting" and "Misaligned screen". This was an issue that could't be identified easily, so it wasn't reported. Now, many people are having this issue and instead of panicking, we should do some research. I think that all the guys who bricked their phone would be living close to each other, in the same country or at least the same continent ie, this is a local issue. Also, i'm sure they had one of the other issues i mentioned above. I've not seen anyone in India or Asia with any such issues, so i think we need to find out why europe is having problems. Contact the BRICKees, i'll try making a new thread.
[HTC Desire S] jjdoctor:
^^^.. yes this issue you need to find the Source.. I sold my Desire yestreday to get Hold of the Desire S but my only concern is this Dead eMMC chip.. and that is the reason I am not buying it yet... I want to identofy the ones with this issue..

really I dont want to screw up my 40K Rs on a faulty set..
[HTC Desire S] Snakeforhire:
Got the same problem, accidentally bricked a DS with a faulty Samsung eMMC, barely 3 weeks after buying it and 2 weeks after S/OFF'ing and rooting it... (btw, isn't it strange that Samsung chips that you find in Samsung branded phones don't seem to have this problem, but strangely the chips sold to their competitors seem to always be somehow sub-par ? Clever and sneaky way to undermine the competition, if you ask me. But at the same time, I bought a SGS2 as replacement in the meantime. ^^ even though it heats up a bit, it's way better than the DS :P)...

Haven't RMA'd the DS yet, I'm trying my damnedest to find a way to S-ON again and trash the remainder of the partition table -so the service center won't gimme **** about it.. So far I've been able to revert back from Alpharev SOFF to PVT ENG SOFF (0.98.2000), but even this has been horribly hard to achieve.. The "secret fastboot command" to totally brick a NAND didn't work, of course. Had to do it all by hand, in the dead of night, losing many hours of sleep in the process.. :/

It's really shameful that HTC is using such deviant ways to cover their own ****ups and to shirk the payment of their dues.. So I really got no qualms about trying to con them into replacing the device under warranty either. "tit for tat", or so they say.. And they shouldn't be surprised if I never ever again buy a phone from them either, that's really bad PR if y'ask me...

PS : I just got one of those mischievous ideas that often occur to me during sleepless nights : I've read here and there about how dangerous flashing a radio is, and it should only be done if necessary, yadda-yadda-yadda... (heck, I was at my 4th radio flash -just for the fun of it, didn't even have any reception or battery problems to justify it- when I bricked my DS, and I can tell y'all that it wasn't what ****ed it up :S)

Let's just imagine -that's a hypothesis, of course- that I attempted flashing a new radio, and one of my cats "accidentally" jumped on the desk and ripped the usb cord away from the phone, making it drop down on the floor, dislodging the battery in the process.. Wouldn't this brick it nice and proper, and render the NAND totally unreadable even for a HTC service center ? xD

I guess they got a XTC device at hand, but would that help in such a case ?
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Can someone confirm what exactly is meant by pressing Power and Volume + and - at the same time? Press Power and press both ends of the volume rocker switch at once? Is that it?

worked for me at least -I just learned about that trick a trifle too late :(

your story said that it includes desire HD? wow i didn't know that honestly when my old DHD freezed i always pull the battery out and no problems at all it's just that the constant carmode problem irritated me and ended up selling it and bought a Desire S...not yet rooted and S-Off but will do later...so it's not the S-off process it's the battery thingy...it sucks for that to happen

i work my whole life with pc, hardware, software, flashed everything from set-top boxes to mobile phones.

seriously, i can't believe that anybody can fry the eMMC (a ****ing simple NAND-based flash memory) cause he puts SOFTWARE on it - thats what it build for!!!

you can brick your phone if you destroy the bootloader or something without a possibility to fix it, this won't destroy any hardware on your phone - but thats a different story.

the only reason for s-on is to take you the chance to deinstall the bloatware which they pollute their devices.

because....HTC MAKES BAD CHIPs!

on the contrary,they had to pay you xD

luckily i don t have a breakable chip,i pulled down the battery A LOT OF times:eek:

anyway you can hold volume up and down and power button to shoutdown your phone,but it reboot itself after 4-5 seconds.during this time you can pull down your battery ""without"" problems
