[HTC Inspire 4G] khaos3d:
I had a inspire 4g for a while, obtained directly from an AT&T store; I got another one for my brother a couple of weeks later in EBAY.

I wanted to give him the old one and keep the new one.

Once I had them side by side I notices irregularities:

1.

the brightness (with manual settings all the way to 100) on the Screen seemed different, the EBAY one had a little less brightness on it, the older one also seemed to have better contrast so you see some details. the color quality is different, the EBAY one seems to have a more yellowish screen toning where the Older one has a blueish coloring (colder).

2.

my dissapointment grew higher when I test the cameras and got totally different results. EBAY("NEW") seems to have a give grannier results on photos and videos. the output videos where bigger and seemed smoother on the OLD phone. video bitrate and kbps on audio where lower on the 'newone'.

3.

the metal on the housing for the EBAY phone gets scratches easier (by far) than the Old AT&T.

Other than that the phone seems ok, all works fine.

my questions are:

what could cause this? refurbished phone? bad parts? RADIO? ROM(Froyo/gingerbread)? any ideas on a possible fix?

is this really a ripoff? a refurbished phone with crappy parts (camera, body housing and LCD)?

Anyone with similar experiences? should I return it?

as a side note one had the stock froyo rom(EBAY), the other one the updated gingerbread rom(, so I'm not sure if that may cause .
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
About a year and a half ago, I got a counterfeit HTC Magic off ebay. It had similar discrepancies. Bland LCD, low res camera, but otherwise looked stock.

I did a search, but got no hits for "counterfeit [inspire][desirehd]" and I don't thing that would be an easy one to fake, so I really doubt that that is the case, but I can't think of anything else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] boredbutter:
Return it... First impressions are the best impressions... If you're not happy with it now, you won't be happy with it later...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaceyL:
Hey everyone!

So I'm obviously in the market for a tablet, and the Galaxy Tab seems to be the best fit considering its price and functionality.

I have two main issues I need help with:

First, I know Skype recently announced that the Galaxy Tab supports video calling. This is VERY important - one of the reasons I'm getting a tablet is to easily skype my sister (really, my niece) and my long-distance boyfriend. Does video-calling work on both the WIFI and the 3G versions? Has anyone had any problems getting Skype to work?

Second, I'm trying to decide whether to purchase the WIFI-only version from Best Buy ($279 right now) or buying a used 3G version from CowBoom for the same basic price. I like the idea of having the option of getting a data-plan at some point, but don't want to be locked into a contract. Also, the idea of getting it used is a little scary (although I'd probably get CowBoom's 1 year protection plan). How much does the faster processor on the 3G version actually impact its functionality? Any other reason to get the 3G, even if I never end up getting a data plan?

Some more details about what I'm looking to do, since that is probably helpful ... I basically want to be able to surf the internet, answer emails, watch hulu plus at home, use the Kindle feature to read on the metro, and Skype video-call my loved ones. I start a job in early December where I will get some kind of smart phone(BB now, but they are thinking of switching to I-Phone), which is why I'm considering getting a WIFI-only version.

Thats all, I really appreciate any help!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bovineyard:
I wouldn't be afraid to buy the 3G version, the gps works better with a 3g radio, and there are some alternative roms available with the 3g versions, but none I know of for the wifi only.

I also believe skype only works on gingerbread 2.3.4, which you won't be able to get with the wifi only tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bovineyard:
Even though I have the Verizon Gtab, you might consider a gsm, because there are many more roms available for it than the cdma version.

That was a week ago:

"So after 2replacements and still having issue with a screen bleeding and random reboots tmo kinda force me to get sensation" - from my post Goodbye G2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1243966

But i wasnt rly happy with that, so called TMO saying i would like to get my G2x back.

Thay said they cannot do it 'cause that exchange was FINAL. :mad:

So i said if it was final that means my sensation its a new phone and i can return in 30 days or so and this is what i wanna do. And also in this case my new contract is no longer valid so i can terminate my line w/o early termination fee.

And voila!!! tommorow i will have my new G2x!!!! :D:D:D

Don't. Don't use that unless you're willing to live with the potential negative consequences. (Data loss on unclean shutdown.)

There's a reason Google doesn't use those settings by default on any phone.

As to bootlooping - go into CWM and wipe data - that fixes a LOT of bootloops.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Irierider:
I would NEVER give personal advice (look at my post count and im a n00b) but I found this in my hours of reading trying to fix/root my infuse maybe this will help. wasn't my problem, but this was something I remembered It might help and I may earn a first "thanks" to add to my 0!!! 11/10/2010:

I finally figured out how to root without looping. After rooting 13 phones, this is how I did it on the first try.

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Click Root

When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

It'll now run RATC

When it says: Starting ADB Server...

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Turn USB Debugging ON

Turn USB Debugging OFF

All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

He didn't bootloop while rooting, he bootlooped after flashing Infused.

[Milestone 2 General] Sobi-Wan:
Hi,

I have Motorola Milestone 2 with CM7 mod on board. But my problem is rather software- not hardware-related.

I have my web calendar, which one of funcionalities is ability to synchronize events via .ics file. This works perfectly with, for example, Thunderbird Calendar. But in case of Android, thing is not so easy. I know, that native android calendar is able to synchronize with Google Calendar (only!). I have searched Android Market and found no application, which meets my needs. My last hope is this forum: have anyone found already solution for this problem? I need a simple tool, which synchronizes entries in my local calendar with another remote calendar (other than google!), and uses .ics format via http(s) protocol.

tia.

Ok I saw someone mention this is some thread but can't remember where and searching for terms like manually boot into recovery is running me in circles so I thought this was valid and should be useful. * I recently flashed CWM5 and a new stock OTA rom and now, once the phone is powered down, pressing volume down and power button results in quick boot and not hboot/ recovery. * I do most modding with Ninjamorph and occasionally I will boot loop and need to be able to manually get back to recovery after a battery pull. (not good with ADB yet) Ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you gone into Settings:Power: disable fastboot? If so, pull the battery and try vol down + power.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabid Roy:
Nice dog... I didn't find it under 'power' cause the OTA doesn't have that in settings however, under 'applications' at the bottom you can disable fast boot. I'm thrilled. Worked great and earned you a thanks. Fyi, CWM5 (given that this was a non-issue) has been working great for me. I was even so daring as to flash it from Rom Manager... Thanks again dude.

[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.

Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I think it may be a bad phone.

I have and used the following bluetooth devices:

Plantronics 590A

Jawbone Icon and Era

BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.

Sony Ericsson MW600

And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)

All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.

*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.

I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.

[HTC Sensation] rosedog:
My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.

This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.

If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yetep:
Hey guys,

Ive owned several android devices ;

First x10, second SGS, third SGS2 and finally ive downgraded to an x10 mini.

Many reasons for the downgrade , the biggest of which I felt I should maybe be spending more time with my fiance rather than tinkering with my phone and I also wanted a smaller phone that felt more robust, which this totally fits the bill.

Now, I got it yesterday. I wasted no time in rooting it, less time in getting xrec and cwm on it and next up was firing a GB rom on (at present, gingerDX).

The rom itself is great, ive just wondered something ;

Since I want to spend less time tinkering with my phone, what ROM (please dont make this a debate) would you guys say is best for battery life and longevity? Whilst battery life should be okay, im used to less than 1% overnight standby without data or wifi on and this drained about 20pc last night.

If its something to put up with I will, no gripes. Just wondered if there was something else I could do to lessen the drain (and ive read many posts, all usually come to the same conclusion).

Finally, wifi drops every 5 mins or so. Almost immediately picks back up but anyone know why? Think my old x10 did it too.

Other than that, this wee thing is pretty nifty. The speaker on it is rediculously good, especially considering its size!

Cheers folks

Pete
