[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
As far as the why, it is because the phone screen is still "Awake" if I remember correctly. If you power your phone off then immediately press the optical button, your screen will come on but it won't if you wait say five seconds. I've noticed the same as what you stated occur in one of Nils' older gingersense roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
Huh, weird lol. Never noticed that myself. I usually don't lock then unlock lol. Quite interesting, though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobt4stic:
I try to do the root process using Odin -- which i was able to do until i realize i lost service. so I flashed it back using the stock rom which was fine...then I tried again -- that's when my n00bness took over...

- I loaded the PIT file (even though some videos says it doesn't need it) but that caused the repartition checkbox in Odin to be checked

- I clicked start without realizing the box was checked

- When I saw what happened, i panicked and disconnected the cable and pulled the battery

- Now, i can't power the phone up or get it into download mode

- I tried all the key combinations -- Vdown+home+power, Vup+Vdown+power+insert battery...

Nothing... am I screwed? :mad::mad::mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
NEVER NEVER FLASH ANY PIT fileS !!!

SEND YOUR PHONE TO SAMSUNG.

SRRY
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobt4stic:
So i'm totally f'cked? some videos in youtube says that it doesn't hurt to load the pit file but then it also said to uncheck repartition.... i feel so stupid... i wish there's a yes/no box in odin if repartition was checked...

thanks for your response...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brieuwers:
Repartition with pit file wont damage your phone. Your fault was disconecting while odin was busy. Never disconect the usb cable when odin is flashing! Yes your screwed right now your phone becomes a expensive brick. Send it for repair to samsung.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobt4stic:
Crap, i didn't know what would happen with the repartition so i panicked...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
I don't know where you are located but this may be another option. Look for Jtag. It's a lot cheaper than what samsung would charge. LINK
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
So you want Google Voice on your Evo but you don't want your texts to come through Google Voice. Well here is what you need to do to get this to work.

1,) Download Google Voice from the Android Market

2.) Open Google Voice and go ahead and set everything up the way you want. Sprint integration will be automatic there is no stopping this. Let it ride through but it will delete all your Sprint Voicemails so make sure you have nothing important.

3.) So now all your texts are coming through Google Voice and you are sitting there frantic. Well here is what you do to allow just voicemails to be handled.

4.) Go into you google voice account on your computer. You can get to the website through Google by searching Google Voice. You login is the same as your Gmail

5.) Go up in to the top right corner and click on the thing that looks like a gear and go to Voice Settings.

6.) You will see a page with your google voice number and your mobile number and then you have two options.

7.) You will see a link down by the edit and delete buttons and it should say activate Google voicemail on your phone. Click this and it should bring a screen up saying call a number which should be *28+your google voice number. You want to go into you call pad and call this number. This enables call forwarding to the voicemail if you hang up or don't answer a call. If successful you will hear two beeps and then it will hang up. You will now recieve your voicemails through Google Voice :).

8.) Now to get rid of that pesky texting.

9)You will see a link next to the Sprint logo that says Disable Google Voice on your Sprint phone.

10.) You need to click this link but sometimes Google won't let you do it for around 15 min. Just be patient and check it again in about 15 min and click it.

11.) It will now say Enable Google Voice on your sprint phone. You should be good now and you will only receive voicemail's through Google Voice and your texts will resume through you MMS app.

12.) If you are rooted you can go ahead and delete the Sprint VVM app now.

There is my tutorial. I know there has been a good amount of debate on this topic and people getting pissed at google which I was too. They should have the option right below you number:

Receive Texts

Receive Voicemails

but of course they don't. Anyways enjoy stock texting and Google Voice voicemail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evophonehome:
Great post with clear directions!! I'll give it a try

How do you revert back if there are problems??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
You simply go down to deactivate Google voicemail on this phone and it will give you a number *38 to call. Once you call that it will beep twice and you can go back to using SprintVVM.
[TouchPad General] olagaton:
If you have purchased an HP Touchpad DEMO UNIT (only) from a local Radioshack store, they have been given a memo to allow these customers to return the Demo unit to be swapped out for either a real HP Touchpad, or for a Toshiba Thrive tablet.

Store specifics may vary. I know of a few stores that have received an e-mail with authorization to go ahead and swap the Demo Unit for a Toshiba Thrive straight up (maintaining the $149.99 price), which seems like a very killer deal to me. However, not all Radioshacks have been authorized to swap for the Thrive, as some stores have secured a replacement non-Demo HP Touchpad to swap.

Either way, if you're worried that your Demo Unit was mishandled, isn't the same exact hardware/performance, or just want a brand new tablet rather than a Demo, talk to the Radioshack you bought it from, and see what they can offer you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Hola fellow Bionicans. Just arrived, coming from an X2 since May. Very similar phones, yet I've notified my wifi doesn't connect the same. Same house, same router. The 3g icon stays, where on my x2 it went away when wifi was on. It's definitely connected, but I just find this weird.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] beecker:
I came from the incredible and it went away with wifi. On the bionic it stays there.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:

Did u try clearing data for the app? Or reinstall?

Are u running one of the ports?
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Clear the app data and it should work fine. Worst case, remove root explorer and reload again from market.

[Milestone 2 General] vulgark:
Thank you for this excellent port Will5 I have used it since version 1.9.9 and have not had any problems. The superuser problem, SuperOneClick v1.9.5 I fix create another superuser application and removes it automatically comes with the rom ... Excuse me for my English thank you.
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Thanks for reporting. That could be helpful for people on 1.9.9 :)
[Milestone 2 General] vulgark:
hello will5 for me it worked to version 1.9.16 MIUI
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Great :D

1.9.23 should work out of the box, in case you want to try :)

how much are they going to charge me for that? I'm so retarded... i jumped thru hoops to save $100 on this phone and now i'll have to buy it again... KILL ME NOW...

thanks for the response...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] corythug:
Well atleast you learned to be more careful next time ;)

100$ at the worst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
Tell them the screen won't turn on. They'll replace it free
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Noobt4stic:
please Odin devs, put in a confirmation box if a PIT file is loaded and repartition is checked when someone clicked Start... for noobs like me

hell give me the source and i'll add it...it looks like it's an MFC app, i think i still remember how to do MFC...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kse91holydiver:
You shouldn't have to pay anything just act really dumb, like derp phone just turned off by itself and never came back on derp derp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
OP where'd you purchase you're phone? Bricked mine last Sunday night. Mailed it back to Wirefly on Monday and got my new one today. All I could get was a blue light on trying to power on, no matter the button combination.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
Did the same. Usb jig was a no-go as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Try holding volume up then hold the power button. Holds them both until you see the stock recovery screen and factory reset the phone.

Hopefully that will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Wow how many bricked phones have been returned? People just need to pay attention or not do this. I know mistakes happen but just take your time. Why use the pit file when u even said that some say not to use it?

The Evo3D Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, just take your time with Odin. It can save your arse once we have a full stock ROM tar to flash. Once we have that, if the phone boots to download mode, most anything can be fixed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Might have been better off letting if flash as repartition than pulling the cord while flashing, that will get you a brick every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Noobt4stic:
jirafabo, sa shady, that's exactly my situation now... all i got is the blue light when i insert the battery. nothing else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Noobt4stic:
I went thru LetsTalk.com via walmart... I've been thinking of just going to a sprint store and see what they can do... I feel just retarded...:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Walmart will take anything back.just take it back in there and say it won't turn on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Try taking out sd card if you have one and try to get to stock recovery or download screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Noobt4stic:
I'm a total noob, how do i get to the stock recovery screen? I know the download screen is Vdown+home+power and I can't get to that at all.. it doesn't even power up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
First hold volume up, then hold the power button (keep then held) and wait until you see the stock recovery screen. Factory reset then reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
Nah man, if you re-partitioned and only have a blue light, there is nothing you can do. It has erased everything. Stock recovery and all. take it to sprint and play dumb
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
This is strange. I have an unbranded bought sim free HTC sensation here in the UK which Im using on the 3 network and I dont have the option under network to set it to gsm only. I thought this option should be here on an unbranded handset, and its there on my old Desire which was also bought unbranded sim free when Im using that on the 3 network.

Is this normal on the Sensation? I know the work arounds, but Im more interested in why the option is missing on my handset.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
I may be misunderstanding the problem. Have you just tried switching Mobile network off. Menu > settings > wireless & networks > and untick the Mobile network box. Or I have the HTC mobile widget on one of my home screens to do the same.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
yes, I think you misunderstand.

There's no problem with mobile network and I can turn that on/off anytime from either settings or with the widget.

I'm talking about manually switching between WCDMA and GSM, the setting comes under settings>mobile network>network mode.

On an unbranded handset you should have 3 options:

WCDMA

GSM

WCDMA and GSM auto

I dont have the GSM only option which is strange.

I know the workaround where I can enter a code and set it from there, but I'd still like to know why its missing from the settings menu. It was there on the Desire, does the sensation not have the option under settings?

Cheers

PS It comes in handy to have this option in case your out in the sticks and it keeps auto switching between 3G and GSM draining battery, in these circumstances your better off just switching to GSM only until your back in a built up area.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Well.... it's there for me.

Bell phone on the Telus network.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Damn, It must be something to do with my sim card then, strange though, because if I put the sim card in my Desire the option is there :confused:

I'm using the latest unbranded European firmware 1.45.401.2

Here's a pic of the options I have...
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Go to ur dialer, write *#*#4636#*#* choose Phone Information.

You should find there Set preddered network to, change it to GSM only. ;)

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
Aaaah now I understand :o

I have a UK unlocked Sensation (with O2 SIM) and I have the three options listed. And I am 1.45.401.2 with build number CL125597 release-keys.

If you have Battery Monitor Widget Pro, you can get into the detailed phone information by hitting the tests button. So that will save you a lot of dialling. Mine is set at WCDMA preferred. There is no option for GSM preferred, just GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). Not sure what the PRL stands for.
[HTC Sensation] ykcorse:
I have the same problem, I cant see the "only GSM" option :(

I had this option available in my old htc legend using the same sim card I am using now, so I think it is not a simcard problem...

I have tried several roms and the "only GSM" option is not available for me in any of them...

My guess would be vodafone is doing something, at least for htc sensation in spain, a couple of friends have the same probem
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
You have exactly the same build number release keys as me, so it must somehow be interacting with the sim card. Which is strange because it doesnt do this on my Desire. I do have an apk for a free copy of the latest version of battery monitor widget pro, I might take a look. For now the option is only there if I dial that code with the 4636 numbers included in it.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Yeah that does work ,cheers. Is there any way I can force the option to show under network mode though? Its easier if its there, and im puzzled as to why its not on a non carrier unbranded handset.
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
All the battery widget app does is save you dialling the number - you get exactly the same view.
[HTC Sensation] matt-thepie:
Same issue

Hi there

I have the same issue as the OP. HTC Sensation, uk stock firmware. Used a vodafone SIM in it for 4 months, all (WCDMA/GSM Auto | WCDMA only | GSM Only) options were available. When I put a 3-UK SIM in the phone, the "GSM only" option is not present. So it's obviously something specific in this model, that listens to an instruction from the SIM to hide the GSM only option.

3 do this because they have to pay Orange for 2G calls/texts/browsing and they want you on their own WCDMA network as often as possible. Unfortunately the phone will sit with a very poor 3G signal, making it useless for calls rather than switching to the much stronger GSM signal by itself.

Thanks for the solution with the *# code, it has saved me from rooting my phone :-)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Lol. You guys are funny. How do you expect to have gsm only option if 3uk is 3g ONLY? Obviously sensation doesn't offer gsm, as it's not available. Orange roaming is disabled at many areas, so no available 2g is detected whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
tinky1 hit the nail on the head... three dont have a gsm network and only supply UMTS enabled sim's the phone reads this and removes the option.. just leave it on auto and when out of range the will move on to the available partner cell sites agreed with orange for gsm and tmobile for umts
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
yep that seems to be whats happening. The point is though, this doesnt usually happen with unbranded handsets and is a known feature of Three branded handsets only. My unbranded desire doesnt remove the gsm only option, neither did any of my previous handsets bough unbranded and sim only. If this is a new feature by htc its unwelcome hehe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
Hey guys I just got a firmware (Gingerbread 2.3.3) for my phone (SGH-i896) update through KIES. I was wondering if now I have a gingerbread bootloader on my phone now because before I had Froyo?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you are running Gingerbread and it isn't a AOSP then you have Gingerbread bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
No it's not an AOSP, it's an official Gingerbread update that I got through Samsung Kies. So that means that I have a GB Bootloader?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If the phone works Ya you have GB bootloaders.

[Xperia Play General] telis12:
Can anyone port the 3d sweep panorama to Xperia play?
[Xperia Play General] Samberoony:
I wish...
[Xperia Play General] Nextron:
Yes it would be kind... but it seems no one is interrested in.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
It would take having the kernel sources, new library files, and camera.apk. Which Sony Ericsson phone already has it?
[Xperia Play General] stormtroopercs:
Would be cool ;)
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Our Camera is **** so I doubt even if we had the 3D Sweep it would not look any good anyway.
[Xperia Play General] Aquafossil:
Strange that it is listed on SE site as a feature, could be a mistake though.
[Xperia Play General] enerp8:
It's all explained in the Sony Ericsson blog

Global roll out of new software

In late September we announced the rollout of Android 2.3.4 in the Nordic Countries. Today, we’re happy to share the news that the upgrade is starting to roll out all over the rest of the world. Since the Nordic release we have made some additional changes which means that this update is actually new also for the Nordic consumers.

The phones that will get the software update are: Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ neo V, Xperia™ arc S and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™. The update will be available for all unlocked phones and most operator variants but there will be local deviations. There are also some deviations on feature upgrade depending on phone model. Google Talk video chat will only be available for phones with front facing camera.

Xperia™ PLAY will not get 3D panorama sweep but it will get HD video recording and the other goodies below.

The highlights of the update are:

Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras

Updated Facebook inside Xperia™ functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities. We have talked about Facebook inside Xperia™ on previous posts.

Xperia™ smartphones introducing world’s first 3D Sweep Panorama functionality powered by Sony.

16x video zoom

The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia™ smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.

Gesture input – text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next

WiFi DLNA

Screen capture – allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone.

It’s quite a lot to grasp all at once. That’s why we are making next week an Update Marathon, going through one of the features more in depth every day. Stay tuned:-) Meanwhile, you can check out the video from the guys at Developer World.

We’ll try to keep you continuously updated on the kit release. For a complete list of kits released up until now, please check comments below.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
I would just like the panorama app to actually work it sucks that my old x10 can do it and that it works on other phones except this thing I hold in my hand kinda pathetic for a brand new phone IMO
[Xperia Play General] cyberpic:
Does it means that xperia play support usb to hdmi ?
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Sometimes I like to take panorama pictures.. so I just bought this https://market.android.com/details?id=obg1.PhotafPro&feature=search_result .. :D
[Xperia Play General] Nextron:
Xperia Arc/S, Neo, Active, Mini/Pro with GB 2.3.4 has it. Just the Play not :/ Is Sony trolling us? They told they would maximaly support the Play but no 3D Sweep atrough it has a good camera. (Yea "just 5Mpx" but sometimes a lower res. is better)

I think the Sony native app is better...
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
really? can you explain it further?:)
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
The Sony panorama app is way better by leaps and bounds mainly cause it takes just one big picture and not 3 separate pictures and stitches them together, I just bought the app you linked to and it sucks got a refund after 30 seconds
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Then wait til you suck in vain for that 3d sweep.. :D While i'm enjoying this photaf..:)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Buy an arc then as the play dosent have the H/W simple.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Well thats just the thing I've never gave a **** about panorama on this phone or anything I know it wont/ can't do. It would be nice if it could work but doesn't Panorama works perfectly on my x10
[Xperia Play General] idan_mo:
So we can connect usb to hdmi?
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
Could someone get there hands on a config.gz from an Arc running 4.0.2.A.0.42?

adb pull /proc/config.gz
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Now what Nextron? I'm waiting for your answer? do you have manual experience on 3d sweep? or just hiding by a over react post?

Seriously, who's in the right mind that prolly test the app w/in 30 secs?

Props to thatsup, for being epic on the discussion..:D
