You want some Isopropyl Alcohol from the local chemist. Dilute with water. I use that on my monitor screen, cleaning thermal paste from my CPU, and my phone would be next.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eug:
Would alcohol damage the oleophobic coating?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Albadros:
With a phone of this price, the first thing i have made is to buy one !

I don't understand why people doesn't do it automatically. A big scratch ? change the protection.. don't change the screen

I think so...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MamaSaidWhat?:
I don't use the unofficial, cheap leather cases. Purchased one for my Desire HD a few months ago, and the casing that holds the phone (attached to the "leather") was ridiculously tight. Took me 15 minutes to get it out of the thing...

If you're gonna get a case then get a decent, brand named leather case (with good reviews), an official Samsung mesh case or if your budget won't stretch then get a cheap silicone gel case off ebay (£2-3 tops) as i've bought a few for different handsets and they're always good value for money :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danaero37:
I say dont waste your good alcohol on your Sammy but drink it yourself :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Coedy:
Mine pops out in seconds without putting any extra stress on the phone :p

been using it for months now and no problems with it marking the screen (if you don't have a screen protector its your own fault) and in that time I've gaudy out of the case around 5times easily.

I wanted a case that gives good shock and screen protection, what better than a padded (plasticy fake)leather case? :D my phone fell out of my hoody pocket as I was going up some concrete stairs.it got almost every step and it's fine. A cheap silicone or samsung case would have resulted in a dead screen for sure..

Best£3 I've spent on a phone accessory.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oyebto:
erm, i thought alcohol and water wouldn't mix with each other?:o
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Yes they do mix. Vodka for example is 40% ethanol and 60% water.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vega77zz:
Hi

I have a desire i tried to root with unrevoked.

But it seems like my desire is a usb brick.

I hope the usb brick state will go away if i root it and flash with new rom.

But how do i root it when theres no usb ?

I have hbot 0.93.0001

radio-5.11.05.27

running stock android 2.29

I want root, this rom and usb working.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vega77zz:
thx for your reply.

I got tmp root working and i installed clockwork recovery.

Perm root didnt work for me, is it possible to install a root rom then since i got clockwork innstalled ?

Or do i need permanent root for that ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
that's kind of the idea.. didn't you read the guide? you get temproot, flash recovery and then flash a rooted ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jclare85:
From my experience I couldn't flash with a temp root I ended up rooting and s-off with alpharev had to have sync and stock drivers installed on my computer. With temp root when you reboot it disables the root so you have no root access. I will figure it out for you tomorow though no worries.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vega77zz:
That seems logic.

Will the usb Brick state go away if do a factory reset ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Most probably no, but you could fakeflash the .Zip of the USB brick fix recovery (listed on my guide) and use the USB brick fix function in it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes but when you do have temproot and superuser access you are able to flash recovery through rom manager.. just like my tried and tested guide works.

Wrong section unfortunately.....
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
disagree, perfectly ok here. anything android 4.0 is fine to be in our general section as its certain we will be getting it too.

if your saying b/c this isn't the nexus prime section, well maybe they should create that said section in the forum otherwise its fair game here.

and still we had 3D topics all over the 4G forum before it was released so its fine here for now.

tnx for help and not acting like an wiseazz like the other dude ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Bergaliden:
But honestly, Darkside had a point but maybe not presented in the best way. I guess some people are tired of answering the same questions when there are clear posts/threads about it that are also easy to find.

I'm a beginner as well but I tend to look for a solution myself rather than asking. But we are all different I guess. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Such is society. The world is full of people who would prefer to have information hand fed to them. No wonder many people cannot infer from information.
[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
Your post explains EXACTLY where im coming from, thank you.

And the part about searching yourself is music to my ears.

yes, maybe i went about it the wrong way, i will admit that...BUT:

I know this isnt my forum, i have no say in anything on here at all...but its depressing having to read the same thing over and over and over - and all these threads do is push the good informative threads off the first couple of pages and makes it very hard to garner good honest information posted by people making a genuine effort to improve things for our phone.

Check the Q&A & General section, count how many ICS threads there are already...all talking about the same thing. Its like all of a sudden theres an influx of new members (probably young guys/girls) who are in a competition to feel part of something, and satisfy this need by posting threads on massive forums like this one without using the search function...that function is there for a reason, its mentioned in the rules and its just common sense to check if what you are about to post is already available...isnt it?

Maybe im completely wrong, maybe im looking at it the wrong way, but i now struggle to find anything of value on this forum because im wading through...well, you get my point....

/end rant

lol...feel superior now?
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
I am not that clever, but I do know that Search & Read are the most valuable things to use this site. And if I am able to do it, then most can do as well.

I can understand if the Rooting and Flashing of ROMs was explained in a very technical way, but the posters have taken time to do step-by-step instructions. Okay sometimes for noobies it can still be confusing. I guarantee that if they read through that thread then they will have found someone already who asked that question for clarification (which will have been answered).

I am indebted to some very clever folk have developed programs or modified ROMs so that we can root and flash. And also to those who took the time to make the guides for us.

I only wish I knew how to go about learning about developing - it does seem to be a very steep learning curve.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
if its depresing for you to read it why you read it then and why post ?

just skip the thread then

and yes i feel ty
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
How is he supposed to know what you have posted without reading it. You may have tried searching & reading but there was a problem with actually doing the rooting.

There are a lot of folks on here that English is not their first language, so may need help with following the instructions.

If you have learned to use the best thing on this site - the Search - then his reply was worth it.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
No you're the useless one who can't read. It's in the bloody stickies FFS.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
what ever i asked about the files to be sure i didnt ask for whole root procedure now gtfo
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Oooh. You got me there.

If you can't find the kernel in the development section you obviously must be too thick. USE THE SEATCH BUTTON.

Er, no I won't 'gtfo'

You get out with your pointless posts.

And with your attitude, no one is going to help you out.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
saying to some1 use the search button is not helping

you think idk to use the search buton ? i used it i found the files i just wanted to be sure if those r the right ones

now srsly stop posting **** i dont need your "use search button" replays
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Clearly you didn't use the search button, or you'd have found the answer quickly. Or if you bothered to check the stickies for the kernels, or read through the thread.

If the files have already been posted by the developer and confirmed working, why are you asking people if its 'safe'?

And yes, asking people to use the search button is useful, if you even bothered to read the XDA rules.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
blow me ?

10characters dooh
[Galaxy S II General] Sparksltd:
I have to agree with Olyloh6696 on this one. The advice given was quite acceptable. Everyday new threads are started for no reason when the info is already available. Some people just want to be spoon fed simple information. Maybe they are in a rush to solve their problem and decide why spend hours looking when I can just start a new thread and ask. Only problem is; hours of other peoples time is waisted looking at threads like this one.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
You have a very cocky attitude. No one will want to help you in the future.

'Blow me' possibly the worst insult I have ever heard.

And you've used it twice before you edited your other post.

Ha.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
thats the worst you heard ? virgin...
[Galaxy S II General] Concurssi:
I recently made a question thread about something that I'm absolutely positive has already been answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it, because I didn't know what keywords to look for. A guide would have helped as well, but I didn't know which one to read, and even then I'm not sure I would've understood it. No one answered the thread, which I guess means it wasn't cool to do that, but it'd be nice to excuse it if it's a difficult thing to either do or find information on.

That said, I think people should absolutely search before they post, and when someone is kind enough to post a link to a guide, show some damn courtesy (looking at you Shomi87).

Incidentally, installing something like a kernel is exactly what I was asking about in my thread, and I can see where you're coming from. It's not obvious which can be installed and when, there could be compatibility issues, or any number of things that can go wrong when you install one, a lot of people (myself included) just don't know about this stuff, and would rather not risk bricking a very expensive phone, probably their only phone; not everyone has been doing this for their whole lives.
[Galaxy S II General] Shomi87:
i used search before i posted i found the files i needed by using search i made topic only asking if some1 can post those files so i can see if they same as the ones i dled

so i can be sure i dont make some mistake

but some ppl like to act like a smartazz and post stuff like "use search button" they probably have it in clipboard and just look topics liek this where a starter asks a question and just c/p the "use search button"

oly you dont like my atitude ? i dont like yours "use search button" atitude too you can shovel it up your ***
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
How else do you expect me to help you?

Feed you, and change your diapers?

These two are all that I can find on Ebay. Both are $155 usd shipped.

Unfortunately it is an assembly, lcd and digitizer. Hopefully you can simply find a digitizer for less.

Either one will have to ship from China so the wait will be most likely be a long one.

[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
I'm not sure what "proxy browser" means. Boat browser is based on Android webkit. We plan to add more helpful feature to it. Many user have various feature request about browser. Hope we can provide a browser that can fulfill many user requirement.

So any comment and suggestion are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] remember0610:
One brilliant browser, which is best to browse web page. Multi-tab and no tab switch is good.
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
In next release of Boat Browser, there's some interesting feature. When Siri comes out, many people love it. So maybe we can add some similar voice control to Boat Browser. For example, when you say "bookmark" to Boat, it will open boat for you. If you save "facebook", it will load Facebook for you. And there's many more. :)
[Android Apps and Games] eresac:
I know "proxy browser" as the definition for those browsers using an internet server to provide remote rendering, as opera mini does.
[Android Apps and Games] jayallen1980:

[Android Apps and Games] kamikaze666:
I can say that the browser is fast and reliable but what would be nice is for the browser to display FLASH without you needing to click on the flash item... or at least, if anyone likes this feature, to make this option available in the settings menu...
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
Thanks for clarify. Boat Browser is not a proxy browser yet. But we have a feature called "Mobile View". It would use Google/Baidu engine (or we can say a proxy) to convert PC web pages to fit mobile screen. It would also save internet fee for our users.
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
When we test on some low-end cell phone. FLASH really a big CPU-consumer. So we make this FLASH option as "on-demand", which means when user like it. He/she could click on this FLASH and it will play.

For some user, they love FLASH and their phone have a really powerful CPU. We have settings in preference page, called "Enable plug-ins". User could set it as "Always on". There's no need for user to click on the flash. It will be played automatically.

Hope this could help you. :)

Thanks for your reply (I already got the answer making some tests by myself).

Been using for some days now, and have to say it's working really good: my comparison is with dolphin HD and opera, which are android top browser, and boat can really stand beside them.

Don't know if can be in the area of development you have in mind, but an interesting option would be to manage (accept/deny) third-party cookies; for what I know, this is not possible at all at the moment for android browser.
