[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
Hey, I'm sorry I'm a noob, but I was wondering, I'm on the Virtuous 3.2 ROM which is pretty much like the stock ROM, minus the bloatware, buy has other features like battery percentage on the notification battery icon and other few tweeks. I got a notification saying that I was verified for the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update. Since I'm not on my stock sense ROM, would it be alright to just go ahead and install it or just manually install it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
I am on the skyraider 4.3, which I love. I woke up and saw the same notification, I believe that not update right now or it might brick your Di, can somebody help us? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vince556:
I too received the notice to update. I am rooted with s-off bit still on the stock Rom. I don't want to lose root or s-off so I am going to wait a bit.

I think you can accept the OTA update and re-root but not 100% sure.

I want to start flashing roms but I need a bigger SD card first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCGHOST:
I'm pretty sure the s-off part is not going to hurt anything, but if you are rooted and have a different recovery the OTA will not work. My suggestion is, even tho its annoying resist the urge to do the OTA until someone can root it, and make it flashable with CWM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmooey:
So i recently broke my original Incredible but got a basically unused one from a friend. It had stock 2.2 on it, so i manually upgraded to 2.3 with the previous gingerbread update verizon released, but then pulled. So i never rooted or S-off'd this phone. This might seem like an obvious answer, but should I, or even can I perform the OTA update?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
I think there is someone who already made a flashable version of the OTA update, but its for root users only and it has to be done through CWM
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmoney468:
I've been on the stock ROM since I got the phone, and I'll probably just flash the OTA Rom once I get some clarification on the process
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
Is there a way to make the OTA update nag screen go away? I'm on skyraider 4.3, I'd rather just wait for 5.0.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
@cpuspeed I'm getting there same problem. Hopefully, some of the ROM developers will update. I actually want a ROM based off the OTA release so I can keep on using my TV out cable lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
Here's a link to it, but I'm gonna wait because I wanna do more research on it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroson:
Is there a way to force the nag:D/ notification to appear? I've been checking for it all morning
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBankord:
You can force your phone to check for an update by opening the phone screen (like you're going to make a call) and typing the following:

*#*#checkin#*#*

Don't spell out checkin in letters, those are simply the numbers on the keypad that you need to press. You should receive a notification that the checkin succeeded. Now you can go to menu>settings>about phone>system updates and see if it shows up. This doesn't guarantee that it'll immediately find the update, but it does force the phone to check for one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
But is there any way to get rid off the nagging message "there an update ready for the phone, install now or later?"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBankord:
Not that I'm aware of. I'm running Skyraider 4.3 and am encountering the same message. Rather annoying.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroson:
what if it says 'checkin failed'? Do I need to be on 3g for the checkin to work?

edit: Ok I switched to 3g and it said 'checkin succeeded', but still shows no update when I go to settings, about, system updates. Guess I'll have to wait.

thank you though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
to get rid of the nag screen delete or rename OTAcets.zip in /system/ect/security, I just renamed to OTAcets.zip.bak.

use root explorer or ghost commander w/busybox to edit root files.

reboot for the nag screen to go away. go to menu>settings>about phone>system updates if you want to update in the future or delete the file in /cache directory if you know you don't ever want to.

give thanks if this was helpful.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veroson:
silly question I guess, but do I need to be on 3g in order for the update notification to show up? I work from home am connected to wifi 24/7. I rarely put my phone on 3g since it eats battery on 3g. I will keep it on 3g though for next few days if necessary.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
Nope, I was on WiFi only yesterday and it showed up all by itself in the evening. I'm also on Pagepluscellular, so you don't even have to be directly subscribed with verizon. Also don't have to have stock rom as I'm rooted, s-off and using custom rom (skyraider 4.3).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
@cpuspeed, the method didn't work. Is there any way? Also there is another file in the same directory *.bks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
you do need to reboot after renaming.

an alternative is http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17372850&postcount=638
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
Did the reboot after rename it. Will that app delete that message forever or just give me the option in the future, maybe,do the update?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
have no idea since renaming and rebooting worked for me.

If you have the update in your /cache directory then you should always be able to update through menu>settings>about phone>system updates without the nag screen. Maybe you should backup the update in /cache and the otacets.zip.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
Thanks very much.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rechard:
I too received the update today and am wondering if I should run it. Someone told me that the Gingerbread update would kill wireless tethering. I'm using a stock Froyo and using the built-in 3G hotspot feature after applying the "hack".

Has anybody upgraded and can confirm if the 3g Hotspot feature still works?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
Not sure if you guys have already figured this out, but if you're rooted, there are several ROMs already built off the latest OTA.

Two full Sense ROMs, and three Senseless ROMs. (unless I forgot one. :P)

And of course, you won't lose root with those.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
I have skyraider 4.3 sense, running 2.2 how can I update without losing my root (wireless tethered and so), and still be able to keep my so lovely skyraider....is it possible?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
You guys should try out the Desire Sense 3.0 ports over in the development section. Completely smooth, sized for our phones, Sense 3 with gingerbread 2.3.5, it's sick, and probably will be about as fast as our OTA...well, it'll be better once all the bugs are out of it, but it's getting there, be patient.:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanchoma:
Do you have any link for it? I would love to try it. The first room that I've tried is redemption, al then I've been using skyraider, which I love, but would be nice to try out better ones.

[Droid 2 General] BBgamer7:
I don't think so. Doesn't boost mobile use sim cards? I would look into the droid 2 global. It has a sim card I believe.
[Droid 2 General] droid2master:
The droid2 Global is what you would need to use with a different carrier, if it is even possible, the droid2 regular edition only runs on the verizon network
[Droid 2 General] 808Bill:
I'm running my Droid2 on Mobi-PCS, a small Hawaii based carrier, so it is possible to flash to another network IF it is a CDMA network. The question is whether Boost is CDMA or GSM.
[Droid 2 General] zibrah3ed:
Boost is cdma.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Hi Guys,

I've been browsing my way through the search, but I cannot find a clear answer to my question.

I've seen some people using swap partitions on their SDcards when running NAND roms. (FAT32+Ext2/3/4+Swap).

My question is, what is the use of having a swap partition in this matter? Will it add functionality or speed to any Android build?

I thought I knew quite some stuff by now in regards to MAGLDR, NAND Android Builds, CWR and more, until I ran into this *facepalm*

Would anybody like to explain this so I have that cleared up as well?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
swap partition adds some more ram, but it is said to decrease sd card's lifetime.

[General Questions and Answers] shimarpl:
I have a Chinese clone of HTC Desire(G7i) dual sim, which was purchased from Ebay. It works perfectly in UAE and the phone is also good and very nice. Last week I tried to root my phone with Ginger Break and it was success. Then I tried a custom rom from XDA-developers.com. Unfortunately I forgot to back up the imei of the phone. After installation of the rom, it works better than before except the Calling and message services. The mobile is connected with my network and it shows full signal strength. At the same time I can't make or recieve calls and sms. It shows "invalied IMEI" message on the main screen. How can i retrieve the imei to the system? I know the original IMEI's, but I don't know how to setup it. Please help me

[HTC Sensation] leoni1980:
I bought this phone second hand literally YESTERDAY and am having a number of concerns already.

First off I found dust under the screen. Not just subtle dust. Irrittating sprinkles of dust under the screen. I am not on Network 3, I am on T-Mobile but unlocking the phone seemed simple enough. HOWEVER. The HTC guy I spoke to whilst arranging a warranty repair informed me that they are VERY strict about people tampering with software, and that even an unofficial unlock code could somehow void the warranty. Not only does there appear to be no Three ROM to flash back onto this device but there is seemingly no way to lock it back to Three in the not unlikely event of dust reappearing when the device comes back from HTC. My question really is - is there any way I've overlooked to get this phone back to EXACTLY as it is now for warranty purposes should I ever choose to unlock and debrand it, or should I just cut my losses and sell the thing on as soon as it comes back from repair?

My Galaxy S2 seems like so much less hassle. Ironically I've come to the Sensation because of the supposedly better build quality of the HTC device but I'm a bit disappointed with that and the long-winded techniques required to actually do any Modding to the device.

Hi,

I have very bothering bug in my gmail app. I know that I am not the only one but I have not found any solution. Maybe you may help. :(

Simply, when a mail comes, the notification appears but usually (not always) no new mail appears in my inbox. Sometimes new mails can be found under labels. But usually I cannot open them, they are not in the inbox but there is a number in counter. Going to app settings and deleting it helped but only for the first time.

It is really bothering not being able to open my mails in my phone, especially in the original Google app :mad: I am desperate because I do not want to use other e-mail apps. I use gmail so I want use gmail app.

Anyone met this and solved? Thank you!!

Iv just purchased Rom Manager Premium and the first thing I did was select flash Clockworkmod recovery then reboot into recovery.

[GT540 Optimus General] Martin18:
Hello,

I recently flashed my phone with Mur4ik's Gingerbread 2.3.5 RC4 and everything was fine. Two days ago when I installed the V6 SuperCharger Script I installed BusyBox installer, and like it's said in the tutorial I chose to install BusyBox 1.18.2, installed that and run the script and everything was fine.

This morning I installed DroidSheep app and it said that i need BusyBox, it took me to the market to download Busybox installer and accidently installed the newest busybox, after exiting the app, went to Root Explorer and nothing is displayed, but SuperUser says that Root acces has been granted to Root Explorer.

So what should I do now? BTW the phone is still working, rebooted and the same thing.
[GT540 Optimus General] olite:
The new version would have just over-written the old, sadly there are several issues with the new version which can cause some apps to malfunction... just go back to the market, download the BusyBox Installer (by Jared Rummler - JRummy16) and just select to install v1.18.2 again.
[GT540 Optimus General] Martin18:
Nevermind fixed with restoring from Recovery.
[GT540 Optimus General] olite:

[Nexus S General] eGozelle:
last night i was surfing some pages, when i noticed a yellow stain/spot at the right side, near to the top of my screen.

this morning when i looked at it again, i frist thought it was gone, but after some usage, it came back.

taking a closer look, i saw, that the slcd foil(?) under the glass has bend a little bit, what seems to be the reason for this yellow stain. i think it might be a heat problem, since it was gone this morning, but came back after some usage.

i also think it might have to do with using navigation, since my nexus really gets hot while using that.

anyway i will bring it to the shop, but i'd like to know if there were others experiencing this..

here two pics attached (the stain can't be seen that good on a picture).
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
You sure it wasn't dropped?
[Nexus S General] eGozelle:
yeah, in all those 6 months, that i have it, i never dropped it.
[Nexus S General] viasat:
I've also 2 yellow stains,on the left and the right of the lcd on my slcd i9023.I guess it has something to do with heat,because in winter when I've bought it ,it was ok,now in summer the yellow stains appeared.Next week I;ll send the phone to Vodafone service in my country,and I hope it will be exchanged.

Cheers
[Nexus S General] VirgilO:
hello, I am also having the same problem, the same yellow stain has appeared on my right side but i don't have the "warped" lcd as in the first photo... It is definitively a heat problem because i noticed the "stain" when i was downloading on wifi while plugged in and that part of the screen was far hotter then the rest of the screen...maybe some chip under it running hot.

The thing is i got the phone new 6 months ago from ebay so no warranty and my concern is, what guarantee do i have that after i change the screen, that the problem won't appear again? Does anybody know if there is a fix eighter for the screen now or something to prevent it from happening again to my new screen? Could it be a manufacturing problem of the screen itself?

It doesn't seem that this issue is common..Also does the spot spread?

Thanks for taking the patience to read and for any answers.
