[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coedy:
If by 'far ahead' you mean 'Fire out phones as if there is no tomorrow and stop supporting handsets after 6months' then yeah...I agree...:rolleyes:

I used to have the HTC Hero. My mate had the HTC Desire, Another mate currently has the HTC HD.

The hero stopped getting updates after 6 months (it was stuck on android 1.5 for 5months...thats right, 1.5....).

My mate with the Desire stopped getting updates after around the same time.

HTC spend far too much time splooging out phones every few months and 0.5% percent of their time offering support.

It took 3weeks for me to get a reply from them via email asking if they planned on releasing 2.1 update for my Hero. And even then they didnt answer it, just sent me a generic copy and paste.

The batteries seem to become fried with HTCs really quickly also. When I first got my phone it would last 3 days, after 12 months it lasted a day and a half (after having returned it to a clean slate again, just like when I first got it).

Mates desire lost a day of use time after 9months.

and the HTC HD is getting on a bit also...(mind you, he is running all stock not rooted).

Obviously I dont know how my SGS2 battery will hold up, but at the moment I get a day and a half with all settings on/auto (wifi, 3g, autosync etc), I could stretch it to 2 easy, not bad for a dualcore 1.2ghz compared to my 518mhz hero...

Samsung make a higher capacity battery though, so at least they seem pro-active compared to HTC (when my battery deteriorates I can can get a oem replacement

upgrade

, HTC Id be stuck with a oem stock replacement which would be crap again after 8-12 months)

That's the reason I have swapped to Samsung.

Interfaces can be changed easily enough (home replacements, rom swaps), hardware and customer service your stuck with.

Agree with the security problems with sense though. and the lag...oh the lag...although i was only running at 518mhz... :P

I dont see the point in dragging sense over the SGS2 other than to be like "wooo look what we've done!", But I know some people want it so whatever lol.

Rant over. :p;):D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globalrebel:
Hurry up Devs!

You're totally right! These people, the Devs, who are doing this for fun (not money) should totally step up their game! I mean, why shouldn't we get upset at normal people with normal lives taking the time out of their busy days to build a product/software that we otherwise would NEVER get to try?

I totally agree with your statement! Come on Devs, why don't you please "step up your game" so we can ***** some more when we finally do get it and expect it to be the bee's knees . . . .

(Lots of sarcasm in there if you didn't catch that)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thieum la fouine:
Hi all!

first of all, how could you compare a Hero to SGS2?? :eek:

I had one for a year and was very happy with it! even if HTC didn't push the update to 2.1 very quickly I had it 3 month before with the XDA dev !!! and was working like a charm!, no lag, no massive battery drain...

secondly : "HTC spend far too much time splooging out phones every few months and 0.5% percent of their time offering support." and what about Samsung???

their phones looks like Iphones!!! the plastics are craps !!! and the support is no very good to (I have 3 friends that had some problems with their Galaxy and had to wait 3 weeks before getting it back!)

each time i solicited them i get an answer in less than 2 days!

I'm on a DHD since a year now, with the runny ROM from RCteam, without this security crap, working like a charm! no lag, no battery drain, a full sense experience!

I hope for you guys to get it on your SGS2 :D

[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
Alright so I have been doing alot of ROM swapping and I found a few apps from other ROMs that I really like but don't exist in my current ROM. Obviously its possible to take apps from one ROM and put it in another otherwise you wouldn't see custom ROMs that are baked with apps from different ROMs baked in.

For instance I really would like to restore the splashtop app from the Dexter's Asus port so I can use it in Taboonay. Titanium Restore just hangs until I kill the app.

Can someone tell me how I can take my titanium backup of a system app from a different ROM and restore it to my current ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
Really? No one? Come on guys.
[Acer Iconia A500] iepanx:
you must backup the application you wanna choose, on the first custom rom with titanium, and then restore it in the other rom. but it's not all application can restore it up.
[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
Yeah I tried that and it didn't restore. It just hung titanium and I had to terminate titanium. I tried doing an ADB push of the APK to the /system/App folder from the titanium backup zip file but when I launch it it just force closes.

Could Asus have done something to this APK so that it would only work on the Transformer? (Splashtop)
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
not sure if titanium backup will back up and restore the /system/lib files. Some apps need these to work and won't install or run without them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
Everyone keeps posting on here that there is no root method for B70 transformers. I returned my first one and just got another one a couple days ago. First one was a B60 and the second one was a B70.

However, upon getting the second one I forgot to even check the serial number to see if it was one of the ones that couldn't be rooted. I did the one click method with the Ubuntu script and it worked perfectly.

I'm running Prime 1.6 as we speak. Clockwork installed and working fine.

EDIT: Complaining about a question mark. So reformatted so I didn't ask a question
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
This is a perfect example of a thread that should be posted in Q&A, not General Discussion. Quick Rule: If you end the thread title with a question mark, put it in Q&A.

As far as the question itself, not all B70s have the new SBK. The ones with new SBKs cannot be flashed using NVFlash, but IIRC the one-click method will still work. If you try to use NVFlash and it fails, you have a new SBK.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vf1:
Are u sure the 1 click method will work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brumle80:
There are 2 versions of the B7O, one where both the 1-click & nvflash works & one which is unrootable atm and none of the options work!

If you have the one that works, congrats! if you have the latter one...tough luck and be patient, hopefully there will be a way to fix it soon :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
No, that's why I said IIRC. :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
Ok so i had rom manager and my device wouldnt show up , so what i did was where it says clockwork recovery i clicked dell streak model , then it said installed successfully so i thought oh ! Great! But then what happened was when i rebooted my device it doesnt power on at all , please help me!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
notes

also , i have a backup of my phone clockwork recovery on sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Aaaaaah! Shouldn't have done that, didn't it seem kinda obvious?

But anyway, if you can't power on in download/any way at all, looks like you'll have to send it to samsung repair :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
ok so i dont have any other option at all , also what are the combinations , i have tried:

vol down +home + power , vol down + middle button + power . i have also tried using usb and holding vol down, home , power and then putting battery in.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
I think that's all there is, sorry
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] shashank.engima:
Hey man u didnt need to send it to samsung care center....btw u can fix it with flashin the clockwork recovry via odin and then flash cm7(madteam) and it will be great...again...if u dnt knw rply...i will post d lnk....hope it works for u..:)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
he cant power it up in download mode...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
yes it doesnt power up , but if you tell me some ways to try and boot up then i will be able to flash it back.

i didnt think flashing the wrong recovery would brick a phone?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
some ideas:

not really sure what other combinations there are.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] bearusa:
Something else is wrong. If you tried installing wrong recovery it should of just said on your phone screen installation aborted. Have a go at this. I take it you still have odin installed on your pc right.

Press and hold vol down. Then press centre and power at the same time and hold down. It only takes a few seconds for a yellow triangle to appear with downloading written on the screen. You do not need to have the usb plugged in at this moment.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] shashank.engima:
Man..ur can only be done right by odin....so for going to download mode...turn off the mobile pick out the battery put it again .....and press vol. Down+centre selection button(not home or android button)+power on key....and after 2 sec u will be their....and try to press the button in the order as i posted.....say if it helps...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
yes i still have odin installed , but my phone isnt showing any sign of life at all , i tried this what you said and it didnt work , no lights at all.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] shashank.engima:
Then srry....man...if it dosent even power on...then i cant do anything....srry u have to give it to service centre...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] husain11:
thanks for your help , i will try every suggetion on here that people still post . i think im going to take it to the service centre today. i will reply on how it goes!. before i go i will be willing to try out any tricks if people still post. thank you everyone for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] bearusa:
If you cant get it on download mode then i would say you bricked your phone,, you will probally be charged by samsung as they dont condone tampering with custom roms or recovery and there will be traces if they manage to power it on, it might be cheaper for you to just buy another phone, and leave it alone, but am still sorry to hear you cant get your phone working, good luck..
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] p3_sv:
So what did you do? Any updates? The exact same thing happened to me too :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] psyke83:
None of the key combinations will work, because your phone's arm11boot partition is now corrupt. That's really bad, because it's responsible for phone charging/download mode etc.

You need to get it repaired.

Please guys, *never* install ClockworkMod that's intended for another device. With other models you can get lucky and find a working build, but you have an extremely high risk of permanently bricking with Samsung models.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dullah:
Firstly here's a video demonstrating how to flash a rom:

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

Installation Instructions:

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!

Download the rom zip (don't rename it!)

Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard

Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)

Might need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache (read the devs instructions)

Select Install zip from sdcard

Select Browse for zip on sdcard

Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above

(Let it flash)

and next time search for the threads instead of creating a new one, because the admins will most probably delete it lol.

Reboot, Enjoy!

Anybody???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhat:
HI,

Here is the steps that you can follow:

First make sure your device is CID Unlocked or HardSPL. This will ensure that you can install any of available Custom ROMs.

Steps:

1) Download HSPL from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520312

>> Download: Topaz-HardSPL_V5_09R6_CRT_183HSPL.zip

>> Read "Instructions" section for more info.

2) Connect your Device/Diamond2 to PC and make sure your PC is internet connected.

3) Make sure Windows Mobile Device Center is running in your PC.

3) Temporaryly disable Antivirus application, if any, until you finish entire process.

4) Start installing the HardSPL downloaded above.

>> Install the EXE and select Automatic Flash Mode.

NOTE: For first time your PC may install some drivers in the middle of Process... so if that happen do restart the process again after the driver finish installed.

5) Once the above process completed, now you can install latest RADIO ROM and OS etc.

Step: Radio ROM Update:

1) Download Radio 4.49.25.91 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547276

2) Connect your device to PC and make sure it is connected.

3) Now install the Radio ROM. Let me know if you need help here?

Once done your device info should show the new radio version.

Note: You can skip this step and go directly to NEXT section.

Step: ROM/OS Update:

1) Select and Download the ROM Update you wanted to go for.

2) Read the installation step in the specific thread to upgrade/flash the ROM

Cheers!!!

My phone is stuck on installing update with this zip. I will have to do a battery pull in order to recover. I tried again and same thing this isn't installing properly or even coming close.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
I will need some confirmation from someone else to see if they can or cannot instal it. In the meantime, I will reinstall Eclipse 0.5, download the file from the internet like everyone else has to, and, try installing it on my phone. Give me a few for the results.

Yeah I don't know man. Worked fine for me.

Tell me exactly how you are going about installing it. I will troubleshoot it with you.

I have .5 eclipse installed i reboot into recovery and flash zip from sd card it hangs on installing. Everytime I have tried it gives me the same thing. I haven't had any problems with any other themes either.

I installed fine had to dl twice the first was a "bad" zip but the second dl was fine
[Motorola Droid X2] xheavymetaldadx:
Ok I can't purchase anything from market replaced the black one with a regular version from xda and still no go not sure if its theme or rom
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
My understanding on that issue is the stock one is jacked up in that way as well. I have heard (but not tried) that there is a .dex file you can install and all will be well. It has something to do with the signature of the app and it not agreeing with Google purchasing market thing whatever it it is.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
wdenker.. maybe try downloading the file again like xheavy did. You could have just gotten a bad d/l. I have this on XDA and DF and no ones having the issue. Also, did you try using this theme on 0.4 or 2.2?
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
Currently updating this theme some more. Nothing has been posted by me yet but.. I have settings now fully inverted no matter what you click on.. i.e. "Manage Applications". I am about 50% done theming Go Launcher, I have the power widget on status away from green and, lastly, (for now anyway), I will be making new battery images.

Also, I plan on pulling all of my apps and redoing their icons to match. If you have request for app shortcut icons, please let me know.
[Motorola Droid X2] xheavymetaldadx:
Thanks for the info bro but after searching I haven't been able to find anything. Would you be able to point me in the direction of that .dex file or thread that contains it? Lol I hate the search function on the xda app lol I miss my poor dr pepper soaked laptop lmfao
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
I asked about it... heres the info I got from a buddy,,, (the user names mentioned, except for the obvious are on DF)

there's no real fix... the certs files are an issue I think.. even the stock version is giving that error on some roms.. and my market works on most but some roms have the error.. bgill and BIGxie are both trying to figure it out also.. there's a user on XDA rujelus (I think) that has an inverted market also and his zip file worked on one of my roms that hadn't previously but then when I tried his again during testing, it wouldn't work anymore...
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
Ive themed every market since probably October of 2010. Best I can do is go backwards till one works, if any.. if you want.
[Motorola Droid X2] xheavymetaldadx:
Damn didn't even know there was this kind of problem lol its all good man it'll just force me to save money lmao
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
Don't feel bad. I didn't either til I started working on an orange theme and went to the market to buy a theme to see what orange would look like. FC and WTF! Checked around, apparently its hit or miss and no one can figure it out. Works on some ROMs, doesnt on others.

There's a few other things you can try to save a bit of battery life like calibrating your battery by wiping the stats from cwm when its just about flat then charging till full, never read a guide on this but I presume that's how it works (someone correct me if I'm wrong), there's a free app from the market I use called llama which can be setup to switch off wifi,GPS etc whenever the screen goes off or to use location to switch on wifi in a specific place etc......
[HTC EVO 3D] Crash338:
Hi guys,

I'm getting a new unlocked HTC Evo 3d in a few days. It is unlocked but the software on it is from Rogers. I've been using the xperia x10 for the past few months and have managed to debrand the phone and install android 2.3.3 (full of bugs might I add). So I was using the generic firmware from Sony Ericsson. I'd like to do the same for my Evo but can't seem to find any HTC generic firmwares, all I found were the ones from Sprint and Rogers or vodafone in the UK. The rest were all ROMS from Virtuous ROM. Doesn't HTC have generic firmwares for their phones. I'd like to get rid of the Rogers firmware (especially that logo at bootup) and revert the phone back to generic. Is my only option the firmwares from Shooter?

I'm also thinking of switching to another carrier since the phone is unlocked and dont want anything to do with Rogers.

At this point, I'm thinking either Sprint, Rogers or a Virtuous ROM?

I'm I missing something ... i'm still pretty new to this android world :o

Thanks in advance :)
