[HTC EVO 3D] iTouch24:
Well it happend.. i Lost my phone yesterday... what a terrible feeling. The worst is that i had no security setup on the device so there is no way for me to wipe the device completely. I was hoping that people still believed in karma but no calls back yet. I sent text messages to the phone to contact another number i have and i called the phone a hundred times but no response. Now that the battery is dead on the device i am pretty much dead in the water.

i installed plan B on the device from the market but it will only install if they charge the phone and turn it on. That will help me track the phone.

I also logged into htcsense.com to try and lock and erase the phone but i dont remember if i was logged into the htc hub on my phone. But this also wont work unless phone is turned on.

Is there anything else that i am missing that i can still do?

As of now the phone is still activated .. when i call it gos right to vm.

I was hoping the person would charge and turn on phone and then the plan B would install and send my location to my email and the htcsense lock would get enabled. If i deactivate my phone then all those methods are out of luck.

i guess i have no other choice now but to cancel service to that phone and get it replaced via insurance.

What a horrible feeling.

What security apps are u guys using to locate and wipe your device and SD card. i know there are a few apps out there for this. My next phone will definitely have more security apps installed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
Honestly, I used plan b to find mine. Keep trying that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] syl0n:
Okay, so I know there are threads in Development forums about this and also the CM wiki but I just want to clarify the steps as I have seen conflicting instructions.

The CM wiki mentions a weird rooting method that involves you pushing a bunch of files to the device and rooting then installing CWM from ROM Manager.

The CM7 thread here mentions using NVFlash and seems to have fewer steps. So which way is better?

My understanding is this will work and is better cause NVFlash is not fake flashing recovery?

After interpreting all this what I plan to do is:

1. Install drivers for NVFlash and Flash CWM directly on my unrooted G2x

2. Boot into recovery

3. Backup stock ROM

4. Do wipes etc

5. Flash CM7 zip file and Gapps

Can someone see any issues with this? is there a risk of a brick if NVFlash goes wrong? I find it weird that I need to hold the volume rockers the whole time NVFlash is doing its work and only let go after I pull USB cable, but maybe those instructions aren't very clear and I am a bit afraid.

Also will my above method work with latest LG G2x updates to 2.3.3 or only from Froyo?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shamwow:
You've got it...go for it! It sounds like you plan to use TGA_Gunman's one click recovery flasher app which I highly recommend as it is fairly idiot-proof.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Just follow his instructions in the post. And fwiw, you only need to hold the rockers until the S/W Update screen is displayed on your phone. At that point you can let go, sit back, relax and watch the app push all the recovery files for you. When it's done, just pull the usb, put the battery in and boot into CWM

EDIT: One click recovery works with the 2.3.3 update, SUPER ONE CLICK (which is only for root access anyhow) DOES NOT
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
There's nothing to be worried about! I haven't seen any threads on people bricking their phones with nVflash!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagecanman:
Whats the best way to go from infused 1.5.3 to this... Which version of 2.xx and what flash method? Red cwm and then a wipe I assume.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] domso:
why does the "record my life" app ( which is supposed to launch upon system startup and set to record every 1 min ) stop working? sometimes it will go on with its recording schedule for an hour then stop, and sometimes it only records once then stops. It's like the program deactivates, and i have to go back into the application and wait a minute and then it will start recording again. But if don't go back into the application to trigger it, it will never record again, ever. Why? It's annoying to have to be constantly checking ( about every 5 min ) to see if its really recording or has it stopped.

thank you for any help offered.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
One thing I wanted to ask is about the file permissions labels and how they're written. From what I gather there are:

3 types (guessing system and user are 2/3rds on either end but not sure of the others)

Also I gather the:

R-read

w-write

x-execute

Im guessing its this (below)? to denote permissions level 1 is not set, two has read and execute and the final (user?) would have all three. Trying to get more into the backend rather than just "ooh zip! time to flash" mentality haha.

--- r-x rwx

Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
You're definitely correct with the rwx .. as for the sets, there are three: user, group and "other"/"all users".

the file system permission notations are the exact same as used in linux.

below are a few links which are helpful in explaining linux file system permissions.

there really isnt anything too special to the android implementation of the file system permissions.

if you have any further questions, ask away! hope the links help!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eyeisdasteve:
Which do you like better and why?

I currently use cwm. I like it. But I wanna hear other opinions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spikeydoo2006:
I've used clk recently for a few months, but have since gone back to Magldr.

Both are good, clk has a more native android feel eg. No Go Go Go! screen, Magldr seems to have more support rom wise.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
you still use CWM with cLK. cLK is an alternative to magldr, not cwm.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
lol, true true..

this reminds me of an old saying (you probably never heard of it)that says : أسرع القطار ولا أحلى الحلاوة ..

which translates : Is the train fast or the candy is sweet? :p

cWM runs under both cLK and MAGLDR. (CWM or CWR = Clockwork(mod)Recovery is the orange texted screen. MAGLDR (Magical Loader) is the screen with 12 options from DFT. cLK (cedesmith's Little Kernel (Bootloader)) doesn't have a menu but rather a fastboot mode when the back button is held during boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eyeisdasteve:
Oh. Haha. I never used clk. I thought it was just a recovery like cwm.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] A.J:
hahaha nice one @Marvlesz

anyway i love Magldr and the go go go screen .... but i hate it when it stuck there lol

Is anyone else having issues with voice/text in the Atlanta area? Data works fine but texts come in as undeliverable and calls go straight to an error message recording.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmcjam07:
Not sure what the problem could be. I live in Atlanta and my messages and calls are going through
[HTC EVO 3D] Frontierchick:
I don't know what it is. My phone even shows full signal but other than for a few minutes this morning I haven't been able to call or text.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmcjam07:
Have you rooted your phone or flashed a radio? Maybe try updating your PRL or profile? If all else fails I guess you could get on the sprint.com chat and have them reset something on their end. I'm pretty sure its closed right now though
[HTC EVO 3D] Frontierchick:
I rooted my phone the weekend revolutionary was released and was running viper rom. Everything was working fine until I came down to Atlanta.
[HTC EVO 3D] FanOfSkynyrd:
Something similar happened to me this week while I was on a business trip to San Diego. I've been rooted for a while, but still running stock ROM. I did not get the error 16 after rooting though.

Fastforward a couple weeks, I'm in San Diego for a couple of days and as soon as I get there, voice/msg'ing don't work but data was fine.

After calling Sprint and getting transferred around a little, the final person pushed something to my phone. I powered down pulled the batt for a minute then everything was good to go.

I'd call Sprint if I were you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Frontierchick:
Sprint supposedly "refreshed" my service but I'm still getting the error 16 message. I'm on day 3 now of not being able to use my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] FanOfSkynyrd:
I'd still keep calling and pushing the issue with them. I guarantee you'll be able to get a credit for the down time you've experienced.

It took 6 different reps to resolve mine over a period of several hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
Are you on the new ota?
[HTC EVO 3D] umbra6:
When it gives you the error 16 are staying on the line till someone picks up? When i had this problem they were the only ones that could fix the problem. I called support first and they were no help. I decided to let the error 16 call connect and she fixed the problem in like 2 mins.
[HTC EVO 3D] dougstoner:
I'm in the Atlanta area, and have no issues. Actually, since I got the new radio, data speeds have been better. ...but, not having any phone issues with dropped calls or signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Seriously, make a call and when you get the error just stay on the line, I repeat stay on the line and don't hang up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
Why is that? Is it because the file is softsubed instead of hardsubed? Can the default player in Galaxy S II play .srt files? Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrael:
not sure if the stock player can play .srt since i have any mkvs like that ;)

but if stock don't want to, try either Mobo player or MX player ( the last update on the later is really nice with our SGS2).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disfected:
Stock player plays .srt but you have to have it extract under the same name as the video file. Beside stock you could try Mx player, it's pretty amazing compared to stock.

mvideoplayer is a great player and plays .srt files. I used to have this player and the only think made me change was that i bought the mhl cable to export the video through hdmi to my tv set and it couldn't display tha subs into the tv. Finally the solution to both was bsplayer. I hope i could answer your question and solve your problem.

[Streak 5 Accessories] (InsertNameHere):
I have no clue, but chances are it is some kind of insulator, could you not make something out of paper or card?

And your subject says response problem? Try a screen calibration.

Yea i tried a screen calibration but it always fails though. I was thinking about trying a card or something but i didnt know if it would be safe to use tape on that part of the phone, i might have to send it to Dell

[Streak 5 Accessories] Luke.:
I have a question about the screen... I have a big problem with it...

So my battery often runs empty. So I need to charge at several places - at the computer, in bed, in my girlfriends house.. so i bought some usb-cables for the streak... and some usb ac adaptors, like for iphone, with 12V and 1000 mah output.

So, now the problem: The cables aren'T original, but they work great. When i charge the phone with the original charger and a faked cable, also no problem. But if i use any cable with a non-original ac-usb adaptor, the screen bekomes unusable. if you want to delete a letter in a sms than, you write a m and a b und strange words, i can see the swype-line doing what it wants. same on homescreen, cant press the right icons. if i unplug the charger, everythin works fine again. i also compared the data of the original dell charger and the alternative one, same output and mah-number....

Have you ever heard of this problem?

And most important, do you know how to solve it? (please don't tell me to buy an original charger, i dont want to wast 40 € for this....
[Streak 5 Accessories] krazman325:
Yes, same problem with Wagan Home/Car ac/dc charger ONLY when AC charging. Probably isn't good for device, but I've never had any battery problems. Screen issues go away as soon as charger is unplugged. I just don't use the device screen when it is on that charger AC only. Works fine in car (DC).

Okay, I won't tell you that the only way to avoid it is to use the Dell factory charger (but it is)

kraz
[Streak 5 Accessories] Luke.:
Well, it is not, just tried the ac adaptor from my sister, worked fine (:
[Streak 5 Accessories] _n0p_:
That screen behavior is caused by unfiltered output of adaptor (china, is it?).

Can be at least partially solved by using a ferrite ring or USB cable that already has one.

For example:

http://www.dataq.com/products/hardware/accessories/fc.htm
[Streak 5 Accessories] Luke.:
for this orice, i can also buy a new adaptor and hope that this helps :D

but thanks for the info (:

(and no, it's from great britain, but made in china :D)

RadioShack part #273-0067 2/bag $3.19. I realize most recent poster is from UK. This info is for anyone in USA having the same problem. One on each end of usb cable gets rid of 85-90% of interference, and makes screen usable while charging with non-original (Wagan) charger.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
Hello Forum,

This afternoon I was trying to get my wife's phone MSL and i was running the good old command getprop from a localhosts terminal from the phone using connectbot. I tried several attempts to locate the msl but I had no success in doing so.

So I connected the phone and using ADB (because I thought that the list displayed by the connectbot terminal was being truncated) I ran the command again and still no luck. Now I've also tried this with my phone (which is also running this leak) and I've had no luck; Though I know my MSL by heart, I still don't get it displayed using this command.

This spawns 2 questions:

1. Is this an issues that only affecting GB leaks? I can get this number without issues with Froyo builds.

2. How do you go about getting the MSL any other way if this command doesn't display it?

Thanks in advance to everyone!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Hm same thing here couldn't get my msl even tried the app on the market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
Funny thing eh?, I tried every trick in the book and still couldn't pull it out. It's like that section is wiped out of the Getprop command.

I wonder if they have taken extra steps to protect it and not enable people to get it so easy... But I will keep on fishing around.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
Actually I found the issue... you have to type: getprop ril.MSL

If the MSL isn't in caps it doesn't return anything. BUT it still doesn't answer why its not displayed when you simply enter the getprop command like before....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Samsung got it out of the list somehow but as you saw as long as you remember the caps you can still get it. Been like this on all the leaks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharney:
An app that does getprop ril.MSL

Yep, on my Samsung Transform Ultra (boost mobile), it does not show up in the 255 line long getprop results when getprop is ran with no arguments. It still shows up with 'getprop ril.MSL' as you said.

The reason I am posting on this old thread is because I have developed a very simple app to display the MSL code, this way it can be accessed without a terminal app or adb shell.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Get My MSL:

Err, since I am a new account I cannot post outside links yet, so type this into Google Play to find it: com.patternedsoftware.getmymsl

It is free, and ad-free. At less than 50kB the apk does not take up much space, so I hope this may be of use to somebody out there!
