[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrmaffen:
Hi there,

your first thought might be: Ah jeez another one posting the same **** 2000 people posted before ^^. But anyways i think my problem is a special case:

yesterday i wanted to flash another radio to my htc magic via clockwork recovery. However something must have gone wrong. After the recovery rebooted my phone i got stuck at the "htc magic" splash screen. Pressing the home or the back or vol-down button or home and back button at the same time doesnt change the situation. still stuck at splash screen. fastboot and recovery dont seem to work.

After some really bad panicking minutes, i pulled the batery out of the phone and let it rest, while googling and searching the **** out of every forum on the net. Some minutes later i reassembled the battery and started the htc magic without pressing any other buttons, hoping it would juts boot and say "kidding :)))" on the display. but yeah ... it didnt ^^.

Now im coming to the odd part, which differs from most other posts i saw on other forums and here on xda: after quite a while my htc magic suddenly made that "bling bling" sound, as it did whenever it started android successfully. i nearly burst into tears when i heard that sound, hoping that i would be able to access the phone via fastboot or adb. but ... i wasnt able to :S. the screen went black after that "bling bling" sound and stayed that way until i pulled the battery again.

i could repeat that procedure and reproduce the sound and behaviour, but i couldnt access the phone via any possible way i could find on the web :S.

hopefully somebody, who knows more can help. my last step would be jtagging the phone. but the tools are kinda pricy for such an "old" phone. and i couldnt find anyone in my area who could borrow me the tools or repair the phone for cheap money.

thanks in advance :) im counting on your knowledge
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] awebagar:
Try this low cost JTAG

tested by me with 2 T-Mobile Mytouch 3G
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrmaffen:
thanks for your fast response. if jtagging really is my last chance:

- what did you pay for all the parts of the schematic ?

- how long did it take you to put everything together?

- do i need a parallel port on my computer, or is it possible to use an usb port ?

- and do you think a newbie to smoldering and stuff could be successfully assembling all those parts?

- can you provide me with links and/or other pictures, which could help me?

thanks again for your effort :)

kinda exciting this whole thing :>
[HTC Sensation] hg3atintin:
My sensation is s-off. I want stock recovery. Can I get root without cwm? If I just download the su app from market?

Thanks.

Oops please move to q/a
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Nope, but if you don't like CWM you can restore back by doing this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228648&highlight=OTA+stock
[HTC Sensation] hg3atintin:
So I can flash cwm apply su/root then flash back stock recovery and I will get Ota updates with no problems?
[HTC Sensation] bubuthebear:
Afaik, chances are good, that you'll get OTA updates, but I think you'll also lose root then.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Yes, worked for me :) ALSO: Read it through the guide, and insure that you got everything ready, if something should go the other way :)

Nope, only if it is a brand new version, like the ICS, then you will loose it. But not if you change from gingerbread 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 :)
[HTC Sensation] bubuthebear:
My experience is, that one will have to reapply root, if he installs something from stock.

But maybe I did something wrong in the past :)
[HTC Sensation] NoLoveForApple:
My experience with CWM has been nothing but good. You should just install that recovery. I think, in my opinion you would like it. I've had it on my HTC sensation for several months now. No issues
[HTC Sensation] boakesm:
100% agree guys here have latest updates in there roms before any ota updates - you can be running ics now if u want . U can always go back to stock s-on later. I'm no techie but I would never go back unless I needed to for warrenty
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
So my front facing camera has so much crud behind the glass I cant even use it. My phone is in perfect shape and ATT says its not covered under warranty.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
it happens, if you're comfortable taking apart your phone you can clean it i guess. it's because there isn't a proper guard inside the speaker (you can take a look at it, it's just a hole in the screen; particles of dust slide into it with ease)
[Atrix 4G General] AndroidLonghorn:
Try using compressed air to blow out the dust particles. It usually works.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
If you do get it cleaned out an Otterbox or some other case like it will reduce the chance of getting dust in it again. To be completely honest the Atrix's front camera sucks pretty bad, compare it to several other phones ffc side by side in the same light and you will see how horrible it looks. In low light you might as well not even bother, while other phones in low light dont have the same prob. Anytime I vid chat I have to sit in the one chair in the room with a standing lamp and aim it on myself otherwise it looks like ****.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
If you use compressed air, make sure the air quality is very good, with no moisture/water in the line.
[Atrix 4G General] twayneo:
there was a known issue a while back cant remember when, but if you have a certain type of screen cover was doing is other wise if its under the corning g. glass you will have to find a way to remove it which im assuming is glued on clean the under side and put back on i would assume
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
I think even with the perfect lighting, the front facing camera is still terrible
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
i guess i have low standards for a camera, but mine is just fine for my needs. i only use it to have a video call to my family back in Georgia, otherwise i have no use for it. and it works perfectly for that.
[Atrix 4G General] Alex530:
My cameras a full 180° :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] d3athsd00r:
Call Motorola. Then you can send it in to them and they fix should fix it. Because you have a 1 year motor warranty, not AT&T warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Agreed..:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
So on T-Mobile site for GS2 specs, it says that it can support upto 32 GB of additional storage. However on the box, it said some what 48 GB. Do they mean 32 GB exteranl + 16 GB internal??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
Exactly, 48 is the maximum capacity

16 pin the internal and up to 32 external
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
More than likely. I have a 32gb and the internal 16gb. There's no such thing as a 48gb card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
technically speaking there is no such thing as MAX MEMORY unless you are talking about RAM which we are are Maxed out at 1GB

there is a MAX internal storage space of 16GB give or take a few GB for the internal ROM Apps

and there is simply no MAX external storage, as you can swap to any amount of external SD card

even the 64 GB works with our phone.... a bit waaaaay too overpriced if you ask me

soon enough when the 128 GB comes out the 64 GB will drop in price

so until then carrying a few extra 32 GB is the best deal at the moment ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
Thanks AllGamer.So, when they say 'Upto 32 GB' doesn't this mean that we cannot insert external storage of more than 32 GB. Has anyone tried the 64 GB storage and if the phone recognizes it, does it show the 64 GB space. It'll be gud to know if someone has tried and can confirm as you do not want to make a weird face if you buy and it did not work :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it works, there's a video floating around.

all you need to do is format it with the phone itself or linux

you don't get full 32 GB on a 32 GB SD card, you get like 29GB, same goes for the 64GB you get around 59GB after the format
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbutters:
Just to clarify, 32GB is absolutely the max amount you can have on this device. any 64gb microsd are actually a new type of card, (SDXC) Previous generations are (SDHC) which has a maximum capacity of 32GB... make no mistake, the 32GB limit is a limit of the SDHC slot on the device, new 64gb cards will not work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
that's turning into an urban legend...

very few devices OLD devices have that limitation

any thing that came out in the past 2 years can read the 64GB microSDXC, you just need to format it

you don't even need to partition it, just throw it into the phone, go to settings internal storage format, done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbutters:
Ill be damned... You are right, looks like lots of these devices will accept sdxc cards.... Sorry for spouting misinformation.

Check out that guy Vache... Doesn't it look like he has some sort of link to an A100 ROM in his signature? The stuff about Sense ports?

Does anybody know anything about these?

If he makes one for the Iconia A100 that lets me underclock/undervolt so I can read Kindle books for more than about 5 hours without needing to find a plug he'll be my favorite frog ever.

At least Acer didn't include that asian sized short power cord from the A500 with the A100. It actually reaches from the wall, over the arm of the couch to my tablet while I use it if need be.

Do that... and reinstall ROM from scratch and it will work again.....

hope you backed up your contacts with google contacts sync..
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.

Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.

This should reset the application back.

[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.

You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.
[HTC Wildfire S] kp.nikhil:
i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.

But if that did not work, then go to here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.
[HTC Wildfire S] kp.nikhil:
ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260590
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!

Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.
[HTC Wildfire S] kp.nikhil:
ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.

after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
OK, so I read that on GIngerbread, the Arc S has the cool Android CRT off screen, however I can't seem to show it on my new Arc S.

It's running Android 2.3.4, specifically 4.0.1.A.0.266

Do I need something newer to get it? (checking for updates offers me nothing).

What do the 4.0.2.xxx releases do for me? And what one for a UK SIM-Free handset?

Thanks.

SO far VERY pleased with the phone, it's awesome... (Although not too keen on Timescape UK, Launcher Go EX fixed that thou!)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
The CRT animation is no longer available since 2.3.4.

sbong had previously modded the 2.3.2 firmware to include the animation but mentioned here that he is unable to do the same for the 2.3.4 firmwares as the animation files seems to have been changed. You might want to ask him again.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xur17:
What is the easiest / best way to backup my app settings so I can restore them after I install a new rom. Google seems to take care of all my wifi settings, etc fine, and reinstalls all my apps from the google marketplace, but I have to manually log back into all of my apps, and re-setup all of my apps which is a pain.

I tried installing Titanium backup, but I'm not sure what to select to backup. I don't want to backup the apps since those reinstall automatically fine, I just want the settings for the apps backed app.

Any recommendations?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
Titanium allows you to back up system data without backing up the apps. Just launch titanium, hit the menu button, select batch, and run backup all system data
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vectorferret:
Titanium backup can backup any app including its settings and restore just the settings or the whole app. As was stated above it can also backup settings only for system data.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
yes ... but when you restore app + data ,you will feel so bad , specially when you have more than 100 apps ...

Ok I seem to be seeing some confusion on what is and is not included in Liberty.. While the default base is mostly an AOSP like experience, Blur can be added back with just a few simple few clicks...

Really with the Customizer you can really make Liberty into whatever you want, when it comes to combinations of Blur and AOSP...

More apps can and will be added to the Customizer based on requests which can be requested in this thread...

can anyone help me find it?

In that particular link you have given it states:

"The little green ribbon notifies of USB Connection and changes to orange once the phone is mounted."

Or, if you are as fed up with this "new and improved" market as I am, you can flash the old stock 2.3.6 one back (which worked). I keep a copy in dropbox to go on every ROM that comes with 3.0.x

Before flashing, use TB to freeze 'Market Updater' else it will just revert back to the pup that is 3.0.x after a while.

Did any of you guys realize that touch to share works with 2 touchpad too!!! it uses Bluetooth connection to connect and you can share information from one touchpad to another like web-pages and other stuff!!! :)

so since it uses Bluetooth technology to share... can this be utilized to share information with other non webos devices too???
[TouchPad General] LikeaG2root:
Isn't touch to share NFC technology?

You do not need to touch to share bluetooth.

[TouchPad General] hotrod010:
i thought the same way too.. but when u put one touchpad on top of another (:p) it prompt me to turn on my Bluetooth on both touchpads... then only after i turned on bluetooth it connected and started working!!! so i am thinking its over Bluetooth not NFC and i have never seen anyone mention NFC technology integrated in touchpad!!!

thatz why i was interested to find out.... if its over bluetooth it should not be that hard for a awesome dev to write code to have it working with other bluetooth enabled smart phones.

hotrod10 is talking about the webos touch to share feature hp implemented across their newer webos devices. hp's implementation uses bluetooth in this case.

And if you have.. what was your experience?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gustavolatil:
videogames consoles emulators?

(with the physichal keyboard you can press all the buttons at the same time and it works in all the emulators that i've installed. i'm currently using CM7.1.0 - FXP043)

I've tried/How works:

-fpse 0.10.58/ works fine, it is very quick and sound is great, i've don't see frames problems in games, but the graphics aren't so good.

-gameboid 2.4.7, gbcoid 1.8.6, nesoid 2.5, snesoid 2.2.4 & tiger arcade 2.2.0/ all these emulators are running perfectly. (sound video and physicals buttons works with no problem.)

-n64oid 2.4.1/ works fine, but it seems that the diagonals combo buttons don't work :B
