[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtyson:
So I dropped my Desire in the toilet while I was drunk the other week, quickly grabbed it out, took the battery out and took it to a repair shop the next morning. He said it would be a minimum 3 days before he could look at it because he said it has to dry out first.

Im guessing he had it in the chemicals for water damage, I dont know and I didnt have to pay. So he rang me 5 days later, said its up and running but it freezes a bit, wanted to let it 'rest' for another day and then I could come in and play with it to see if i was happy with it.

I couldnt come in on the 6th day, but came in on the 7th day and he basically told me the phone didnt make it, it had died and he was glad I didnt come in the day before. Asked if I wanted it back. I said yes because its still under contract. So he told me it would take 15 mins for him to put it all back together. So I had to wait. He returned, put it on the counter the walked off again.

I didnt realise this till later on but there was a little chip that was not there anymore on the front of the handset. I pulled the battery out and it was a bit bulgy and its water sticker was pink. I then compared the phones IMEI to my original box. Different IMEI. I then pulled the handset appart, the liquid stickers inside the handset were all white. So I pulled the charger out, put the dodgy battery in and turned it on.

It bootloops the HTC screen and its very breifly displayed. Like less than a second before it restarts. If I turn it off, the orange LED comes on as if its charging but it never charges. If I pull the battery out with it connected, I get the orange/green led combo. It will load the boot loader screen and can comunicate to the PC, I have tried running the 2.3 update off the HTC Dev site on it again, it successfully loads, but still has the same outcome

Has the phone repair shop done a dodgy on me, with my handset, fixing it, and giving me a stuffed one or is it an honest mistake.

Also if I put a brand new battery in this phone will it work? And should I ring this place up on Monday and ask them what the go is?

I might also add I just got the Sensation, so i'm not too concerned if it never works again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
Dude... If they gave you a different phone, of course you should ring them up and ask them to give you YOUR original phone. It sounds like they scammed you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
... this is a blatant con, they must take you for a retard or something. Go get your phone back before they sell it on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appl_Usr:
Hi,

You have obviously been given a different device. This can be a mistake however. Go back to the store and check with them what's happened.


[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtyson:
yeah, i thought this would be the case, just didnt know if there was any phone shop owners that might say otherwise, and that its a mistake. oh well, guess ill call them tomorrow and ask them what the go is.

Make sure you aren't using the tweak to disable Gameloft device checking (The one in which you change your device ID to HTC Desire) and also make sure you aren't running Chainfire with a plugin.

Did you do a full wipe of data and cache before flashing the rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cast466:
Yes i did, but i found out what happened, the villain rom is not compatible with the tmobile version of the galaxy s2, don't know what to do now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You have to carry it in under warranty (you know the drill :rolleyes:).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennnall:
wait, WHAT?

some obscure thread is 'mentioning' that VillainRom is not compatible with Tmobile's GS2, oh and btw it bricked my phone and there's no blatant warning or any other mention of this on VillainRom's thread and download in here?

i bricked mine three days ago and up until NOW have been thinking it was something i did wrong. just happened across this thread as i was JUST ABOUT to run the thing again on my new GS2.

i can't believe the mods in XDAD are letting this go. damn. i'm glad i was looking around for some suggestions which led to this little comment.

:o)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
Well considering that VR is in the Europe s2 section then user error is at fault if you have a T-Mobile or at&t they are different and the user should at least take the time to look at the forums present before flashing ROMs hence there is no need for Pulser or any other chef to note that its not compatible with XY&Z....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glennnall:
except the many end up there from Google and don't even know that they're in the "Europe S2" section. i had no idea til just now.

simply saying some bolder warning might save a few people a very expensive phone. i found a couple others who'd made the same mistake - there are lots of NOOBS in the way of ROMS like myself who don't even know. your forum is HUGE, and there are MANY google results linking you. that's a LOT of NOOBS ... :)

a little warning would have saved our asses. T-Mobile saved mine, tho, so it's all ok.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
There is a completely seperate forum for the Tmobile SGSII. When the SGSII, and probably that ROM came out there were no variations, just the European version. It is not up to a dev to save your phone, it is up to you to put in the time and research before deciding to mess with it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is not our place to do your homework for you. This is what happens when people dont research before rewriting the OS on their phone. People are so fast to want to flash a custom rom before they even know what it is doing that this happens. Flashing a custom rom is not for everyone. If you cant put at least 20 hours into just reading up before you do it maybe you should rethink flashing a custom rom. Roms are not for the average person as they dont have the time to keep it up. I am all for custom roms but have come to understand that the "average" person has no business messing with the OS on their Phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
When you enter the world of pimping phones then the legwork to understand your device is down to user...

Coming from the days where not every kid with a gat "comedy value" had a smartphone I remember when the info was far less and smaller user base. "Yet have never flashed a wrong ROM or bricked a device"

If a user is prepared to flash there expensive smartphone without searching reading then its there fault.

After all there are disclaimers on pretty much all threads and XDA as general so as to stop anyone taking flak for user error.

Odin flash a stock rom and your good to go
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Hey man hit up my email we need to chat. Yeah I swap it up. Now so I stay on topic as well lol. Please do your homework. We are not coming down on you to be mean. Stylez is right in what he says. when I started here there was like 2 roms for the device and the steps were far more complex. Stylez I am sure remembers lol I blew his pm up lol while doing my research with questions till I knew what I was doing. There was no flashing stock and returning the phone under warrenty which mind you breaks you warrenty. So please for the love of all things tech. Take the time and do the research.

scripts

do these only work on custom roms, or can they be used on stock? i think the files called system.prop or something instead of build.prop, hence why i ask before i start attempring to alter anything ?
[Streak 5 General] greekunit690:
System.prop is something completely differenr...the build.prop file is in the system folder.
[Streak 5 General] chuuw33:
one of these scripts destroys wifi connection. it connects and shows the symbol but theres no internet. upon removing a few of them i now reboot to a black screen and have to restore my device.

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

What about the internal one?
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
Wow, blast from the past! You're

Wow, what a blast from the past - you still have a Dell Streak 5 in 2023?

Sorry, I don't have anything useful to add I don't recall what the ID was for the internal storage on my Streak, I replaced it a decade ago.
[Streak 5 General] gianmaxfactor:
@smnc you seem to be a Senior Member. With any respect, is it that difficult for you to understand that was nothing about the Streak (I don't even know what you are talking about) but a "generic" android/linux setting?
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
I'll assume we have a language barrier here and that you weren't being intentionally disrespectful.

1) You posted in a thread that has been dead for 11 years+, for a specific device that has been out of production for just as long. Expecting any response should have been a long-shot, but expecting a non-device-specific response is just odd. The only reason I saw your post was because by sheer dumb luck, I happened to have notifications turned on for this thread from way back then.

2) While read_ahead_kb may be a "generic setting", storage device paths such as /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/ are not. Different Android/Linux/Unix devices, and even differnt builds for the same device may arrange storage devices in different configurations, so finding out the path for the internal storage on a Dell Streak 5 running Android Gingerbread will likely not apply to whatever device you're working on.

3) The actual read-ahead cache size from a 12-year-old device is not likely to be useful on a modern device as storage technology and speeds have changed dramatically since then.

Perhaps if you posted in a general channel, or one specific to your device, someone might be able to give you more useful information fort whatever your project is.

Hopefully that helps you.
[General Questions and Answers] Karala:
I'm suddenly very worried the unlocking won't work, but I can't find info on if the phone needs to be on a working number. I bought a phone from WIND and want to use it on MOBILICITY in Canada but I never registered at WIND. I've made an account at MOBILICTY with a number intended for the phone. My plan was to root and unlock the phone (an LG 2X; aka G2X) and then active the number on the MOBILICITY chip. But then I realised you require a number for unlocking the phone. Will it still work if I use the number? Do I need to buy a chip & temporary number from WIND?
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
No. You just need a chip of a different network (even if it's deactivated) and you need to know your IMEI number.

When I try to use my wifi on CM 7.1 stable it just says error everytime I turn it on. So I tried to wipe everything again and reflash and that still didn't fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Try wiping cache and dalvik n try it or try to reflash different kernel .or just the stock kernel 4 cm you may also of got a incomplete download. Did you maybe restore part of a old OS instead of just apps also?
[EVO 4G General] Green_Arrow:
This answer was given to me by "teh roxxorz." This has nothing to do with your rom or kernel, do this:

Back up everything into Titanium Backup

Boot into recovery

wipe cache, Dalvik, and pretty much everything

reflash your rom,kernel and gapps (or if you would like to check out some other roms and kernels just click on the link in my sig)

once you've set up your phone download Titanium Backup from the market

in titanium backup restore all your apps ONLY!!! (don't get apps w/ data - only get apps, and do not get system data)

after this your wifi should be working just fine

p.s. if you would like to find out more about aosp roms/kernels check the link in my sig ^_^
[EVO 4G General] sstory792:
The strange part is I restored nothing at all. It was a fresh start I will see if that works.

Do you have the insurance?

If so, you can pay a small fee to replace it.

If not, find a repair center.

[HTC Sensation] MarsVoltron:
Here's a secret. Add a line on to your account. You don't have to activate it but add insurance on it. Set your phone back to factory settings put your new sim card in and file your claim.

The way T-Mobile works with insurence is by which phone the sim card is in.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
I know there's already an otterbox thread. But this one is specifically for the defender. I have the defender on my HD2, and it's a godsend. I don't have to try to put on a screen protector myself, and I know my phone is very well protected.

So is there any chance the note will get a defender case made for it?

This is a major determining factor for me. Don't want to put down $700 on a phone for it to get scratched up, or for me to drop it and it breaks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
I have already emailed Otterbox last week regarding to making cases for the Note. This is what they have replied:

We have not confirmed if we are going to make a case for this device, but I am happy to pass your request on to our development team. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website. It is best to keep an eye on our website or Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases.

Thank you,

So...might not be available for a while...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Evo 4G63:

lol..no worries....I too would love to have a Commuter Case for my Note :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
If we do start up a petition for a defender case, I'd like to specify that otterbox design one that is big enough to fit an extended battery just in case.

The defender on my HD2 is very perfectly designed, but doesn't leave any extra room for any kind of bigger battery.

I already know I'll be playing games and watching movies like crazy on the note.:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DMax99:
Maybe I will start a new thread for the petition....and I will then send the petition to OtterBox....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] kleanthisa:
Otterbox Samsung Note!!!!

Otterbox will eventually make a case for the NOTE. They play this game of "we don't know anything until we know something" because, from what I've been told, alot of it is contingent on their overseas manufacturer. But development was in the works before the phone was released (according to my source). Supply and Demand. I personally cannot wait to see one on their website BUT if it's anything like the Samsung Galaxy SII I'll probably have outgrown my NOTE for the next best thing by the time it happens. :D

I would like to see them post an UPCOMING cases or SOON TO BE RELEASED page on their website if they cannot keep up with getting product out timely for new devices. Otherwise there are alternatives that work very well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
Yeah I bought the Zenus Capsule Case just because it looks pretty. And it's probably almost as bulky as the Defender would be.

But I'll probably still buy a Defender. I just really wish they made a Defender for an extended battery addition.

Alright... I'm jumping in here.

Just wonder how I manage to find every thread being taken over by immature members wanting to make themselves feel important or better than everyone else by calling someone else out and causing trouble. I'm getting sick of it, I really am.

So let me get this straight... this topic is all about who made the script and who posted it? Because to me it seems like a good way to safely wipe your phone to install new roms. That's what it's supposed to be anyway.

So you guys are straying from the topic and if you notice nothing being said in here is productive in anyway.

So... here the deal.

The next flame or negative comment that I read will be deleted AFTER I give that member an infraction leading up to a lose of their membership.

Get on topic about the script! Not who's idea it was or who made it!

Thank you. See you tomorrow.
