[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmisiek:
i got similar problem.. send phone to service problem was "circut board"

replaced working fine...

when i was using wifi my phone was freezing some menus stop working and i have to remove battery
[HTC Sensation] jetheridge:
Hi all.

My sensation was rooted and s-off'ed, however I have gone back to stock and remove the s-off.

The process involved changing my CID to 11111111.

How all the ota updates are coming do I need to change the CID again to something more relevant? Or is the 11111111 how it should be?

Cheers dudes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
I've been around the block a few times with my Vibrant(s), yes, that was meant to be plural. I absolutely love it.

However, I'm running MIUI on one device and am looking for better ways to improve my battery life.

I'm interested in ordering a new battery. Found some decently priced 1650mah batteries on Ebay. My question is, the 1650mah from the Samsung Galaxy S 2, is it the same battery size as our Vibrants?

Ebay has a lot of choices for Samsung Galaxy S 2 batteries.

Thanks in advance users of XDA!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshchn:
Galaxy S2 battery is physically different from Galaxy S battery and will not fit in vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
What about The I9000 and the Vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
don't know if the SGS2's battery is compatible with the vibrant, but if you want an inexpensive solution, on ebay you can find a powerskin for 12.99 refurbished or 16.99 new. http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-OEM-POWER...ain_0&var=&hash=item6fc4151a8b#ht_4039wt_1139
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
Thanks. I just bought one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadJoe:
I9000 battery will work fine, I currently have a Mugen 1700mAh i9000 replacement battery in my phone; same size, lasts longer, and everything works great. Only complaint is they're on the pricey side ($45 or so). The mugen for our Vibrant is only rated at 1650mAh, so that's why I went with the one for the i9000

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hga89:
I am running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-beta4-harmony on a Viewsonic G Tablet since December 2010 and have generally found it to be stable.

However, I have twice over the past month been greeted by the above error when booting the device. After some research after the first time, I used adb on a Windows maching to log in and delete the entire database folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts since it did contain the journal file mentioned in one posting. That did resolve the problem, my contacts database was resynchronized from Google although I have may have lost a few of my over 3,000 contacts.

Today, this happened to me again and I did the very same thing and I am now waiting while the contact database is being rebuilt on the tablet.

I find this to be very troublesome, however, since I may not have access to a machine set up with the android development environment and being able to log onto my tablet to fix the problem. Further, since the error prevents me from doing anything on the tablet (it greets my when the tablet is booting) the tablet is useless until this can be fixed.

My questions are: (1) have others seen this on the G Tablet (yes, I know it is seen on other hardware), (2) are there other reasons for the error, and (3) is there some way I can fix this if I were to boot the tablet into recovery mode which does work?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radon_22:
Your contacts have been corrupted. You can either go to settings>applications and clear them there, or if you have titanium backup, wipe the data that way.

My advice moving forward is turn automatic syncing of contacts off by going to Accounts/Sync settings, clicking on your Google account, and unchecking "Sync Contacts".
[HTC Sensation] konflikt1911:
i read some where that this phone doesnt have gorilla glass and I believe them now. I usually dont like screen protectors on my phone cuz its lowers the quality of the screen and ruins responsiveness. So I had one on my sensation but because of the curve I kept getting bubbles I took it off and from only puttin the phone in my dress shirts pocket only I've already gotten a scratch!!! WTF my g2x would be in pocket with keys and change and no issues this was babied and in less than 12 hours of no screen protector i noticed my first scratch, I mean its fairly small but im just very anal about my phone. Which is why ill be gettin another protector and why I believe this phone does not have gorilla glass. Anyone else have this issues?
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
I thought I read that the Sensation DOES have Gorilla Glass.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
yup - was going bukkey nekkid until I went to wipe the screen and it has a tiny little scratch on it. Have no idea where it came from. Bought the Skinomi protector the same day. Still not using a case yet.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I've read that but the screen is less resilient than my N1 so far. I've pampered this thing and somehow it has a tiny scratch. If that's gorilla glass then I'm not impressed.
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
agreed! i thought it had gorilla glass, oh well the screen is pretty good for me, no screen protector nor case but i might get one soon in case
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
It does have gorilla glass. Also, I've been using it nekkid for a month and by cleaning it every week, my screen still looks new.

Edit: you can see that it has gorilla glass on cornings website.
[HTC Sensation] konflikt1911:
if it is gorilla im not impressed none of my other phones scratched so easily i love going nekkid i honestly hate cases and screen protectors. How does the skimoni fit the screen? Do the curved glass give it any issues? I did check the cornings site and saw that it was, but idk this phones screen is made by two companies and I have a hunch that those made by sharp arent scratchin and those made by acer are.
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
Now that would suck to have the non-gorrilla glass version because you have the bad screen maker.

I bought a case and screen protector at Tmobile after receiving my phone by mail, because they sent a "1/2 off" accessories coupon in my bill, then it was 20% off in-store if you purchased both. So together they were like $22, came with 2 screen protectors. Have no idea how long one lasts.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
I can assure you mine has gorilla glass, been amazed at how resilliant the screen is and how after month when I wipe it still looks bran new.

When i turn off my phone and the screens clean and I angle it at a light the screen looks kinda bumpy, my friend said this was the gorilla class. Either way its very good for me no scratches at all.

Oh and gorilla glass is an official spec from HTC, maybe you have faulty unit
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
Guys officially the Sensation has gorilla glass. Look here http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

Why would they lie about it there?

I have no screen protector and so far (touch wood) no scratches either.

It's not magic though, so keep it out of the washing machine...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Officially gorilla glass is more scratch resistant than normal glass, it's NOT scratch proof. I don't have screen protector, and am extremely careful with the screen, but I have a couple of tiny scratches, which are hard to see and don't bother me at all.
[HTC Sensation] du1sbo:
Always naked

My personal experience, this is my first time having a phone without screen protector, I have always been using a Full body shield protection but I decided to go bare all the way this time, it feels good.... from day 1 since the Sensation came out, never had a single scratch on the screen. I'm always careful about my phone though. just my experience. :):):)
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yep, as the link posted above shows, it DOES have it. But it's not scratch proof, it just has a higher scratch resistance.

Personally I don't use a screen protector. If you look after your phone, you shouldn't get any scratches :p
[HTC Sensation] konflikt1911:
this isnt my first gorilla glass phone and im telling you guys it has now been 24 hours phone hasnt left my side has sat on my work desk and my shirt pocket with nothing else and i have even more scratches maybe mine is faulty. I really think that the differing screens might be the reason but a lot of people are reporting it and I promise you nothing touched this phone I have no idea in 24 hours its been scratched more then my 2g iphone, 3gs, hd2, mt4g, atrix, and g2x. Im thinkin bout going to tmobile but I know there is nothing they can do for me.
[HTC Sensation] Andresehn:
My phones have spent entirely too much time face down. Compared to my last phone (POS Feature phone)on which I could barely read the screen at the end of the contract, This new phone/GG screen is a godsend. my condolences to those who got gypped.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
LOL...nothing has touched your phone, yet scratches have "magically" appeared?
[HTC Sensation] konflikt1911:
Only my manicured fingers and on other forums people are reporting the same unless the pocket of my dress shirt are hazardous my g2x never scratched
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
As far as i can comment... all of us have a habit of shifting fones once in 2 years to new ones.. So using a screen protector thats tested by ppl is advised as when u gonna sell out this toy for new one the first thing that will shatter the resale value will b the screen status...and as far as my xperience no probs with screen protector from day1 and got it from ebay many gud thin protectors available...."Precaution is always better"
[HTC Sensation] bigmachine:
I have skinomi on, no problem with curved glass as its wet application, it sticks to the glass perfectly. No issue with responsiveness either..works great. The microbubbles do not disappear quickly though, i had it for 2 weeks now and it still has 3 microbubbles left..it keeps getting smaller everyday though, it will soon disappear completely.

And you have to apply it in a dust free room, mine has some dust under the protector..little annoying when the screen is off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nioin3k:
Google maps and other GPS related services are running extremely slow for me, while using MIUI without a Wi-Fi. Navigation is extremely slow, and weather often does not update properly. My location accuracy is also 1100-1300 meters off, and takes a very long time to work properly.

With a Wi-Fi connection, the accuracy increases to between 10 and 30 meters, and the navigation works properly.

I am using MIUI 1.8.19 on an HTC Incredible, fresh install. I have the same issue over several installs of MIUI, and have tried wiping and re-flashing. Using other ROMs, I do not have these issues.

Thank you.

I'd also like to say that you guys do a wonderful job here, and I will try to return the favor and help others in the community.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
I can't believe that ViewSonic took the time to release a very hypocritical statement about how HP "failed" with their webOS and that they (VS) were "dedicated" to their tablets and other products.

http://www.viewsonic.com/company/news/vs_press_release_526560.htm

I want to know what dictionary they got their warped, backwards definition of "dedication" from.

From the article...

Hmmm, wonder what tablet that was they introduced in Q4 2010? Oh yeah, the one they haven't wanted to support since 3 months after release. Sounds like their experiment failed more than HP's - at least HP was 100% behind their tablet.
[G Tablet General] shaunmabels:
Wow, that's rather brazen of them to reference this tablet and dedication in the same breath.
[G Tablet General] JRowe47:
The press release also reads like it was written by a semi-literate intern. Perhaps their company would be doing better if they hired people who could actually read and write?

Tasteless, tactless, inept twits.

I bought the g tablet for the hardware. Viewsonic was an incidental middle man - I immediately flashed one of the community roms after purchasing (before my first full charge, even) and I haven't looked back since. I'll bet that more than 80% of all g tablet users aren't on the stock rom, and couldn't care less about Viewsonic once the warranty expires.

Where, exactly does "dedication" come into it?
[G Tablet General] Radon_22:
All I can say is...

Pot, meet kettle. :)
[G Tablet General] barqers:
Because we want honeycomb or even gingerbread drivers? They aren't pressuring nvidia enough.
[G Tablet General] JRowe47:
It seems to me like all the pressure has come from the community devs, and Viewsonic is only ever motivated by complaints, instead of having a go-get-em, let's deliver the best product we can! attitude. I could be wrong, but tbh I am rather underwhelmed by Viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] nvanlaar:
To be fair the letter is titled with "Windows Tablet Solutions". And there was something about a Microsoft partnership... Perhaps that is why the Gtab is a red-headed, forgotten step-child.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
WOW.

I actually just posted in another thread about the Touchpad, as was comparing the current issues with our own GTAB issues - there are a lot of similarities here. The dead OS, lack of support and future updates, lack of source code for Android 2.3 / 3.0, which will give developers obstacles as far as hardware acceleration and other specific hardware device drivers. The only difference being is that the GTAB does at least run Froyo, wheras the Touchpad cannot run any Android version (yet).

Viewsonic shouldn't even be bringing this up - if anything else, they are lot more similar to HP than they think they are. And at least HP has owned up that they have dropped the support of the product - I even heard that users who purchased the device in the last 60 days (which is all of them) will be getting partial refunds - Viewsonic, you hearing this? At least HP is doing the right thing for their customer base.

EDIT: Just tweak their own words a bit, from their news release. Notice the similarities --

“Viewsonic's move to launch a tablet with an untested and unsupported (from Google) tablet OS appears to have presented a challenge in marketing their tablet solution. The Froyo TapnTap OS, unfamiliar to both consumers and enterprises, complicated the tablet sales process and thus deemed a failed experiment. "
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
VS has been ignoring all our inquiries. And yet here they are jumping at the first opportunity to take a jab at HP. This proves that they are watching and reading. They just choose not to respond to us.
[G Tablet General] Rommul:
This statement speaks volumes about Viewsonic. No one should have any doubt about how shady they are now.
[G Tablet General] litesout:
Viewsonic's Tablet support is a joke. The fact that they took that jab at HP is completely rediculous. As mentioned before, at least HP did the right thing and has a channel open to their consumers. That's more than Viewsonic has done. And HP is offering to refund the difference between what consumers paid and the clearance price or give them a full refund. That makes me wish I had bought it instead of the GTab. That's something I'll take into consideration when making my next Tablet purchase.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapas:
Hi all,

I had a big spot (3'') at the middle of my tab. It seems it is related to case warping and NOT related to temperature, etc. What I am describing worked for me and my tab now has a perfect screen (this is the 7th day).

I solved it by doing the following:

1) put the tab on a flat table. The screen should face upwards.

2) with two fingers push down at the top left and top right corner at the same time. You should try to "bend" the top corners towards the table. This will pull the screen away from the digitiser.

While you do this you should see the spot shrinking. If it does put some more pressure until it completely disappears. Don't put too much pressure to break anything :D

If, while you push, the spot doesn't shrink then stop and try the bottom left/right, perhaps your tab is bent there...

Hope it helps.

DISC:

I am describing here what worked for me... it might not work for everyone... don't blame me if it doesn't work or if it makes the situation worse.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
Why on earth would you try to fix something like this yourself? You won't fix it, and its likely you will make it worse (battery damage etc)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlarsen462:
My biggest concern is the couple of reports of folks getting it back from Samsung and having the exact same problem reappear after 2 months. I am not sure anyone has conclusively confirmed an "improved" screen being installed during warranty service.

Could indicate the hardware is just fatally flawed for being subjected to heat >80F and any kind of pressure on the screen.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I get mine back with some sort of new and improved screen.

This does look pretty amazing although you would want to be a wealthy enough man to purchase this at €199:eek: it's not even on sale yet but i can see this doing well with people who spend a lot of time outdoors away from electricity like explorers,etc.

Something like this would be great at a festival or if you were just out and about for a period of time and your phone died and nowhere near electricity and you needed it charged up.

What do people think to this?
