[LG Optimus 3D] acura2201:
I am testing a new version where the battery consumption seems fixed.

Changing the system installation, go to about 120 mg / data / app and not the / system / app. Including all three widgets and 3D games.

What is gained by that? For speed in the system, more RAM and above all that each one may eliminate what they want.

Also come to EXT4 (less data, because of problems with sqlite) and better memory parameters.

Quadrants 3100 and more ..

I hope to sort out the battery, but think this is a Ferrari, consuming like a ferrari. ;)

app to pass the data / app lowers the total size to install programs. after the first reboot are about 750 megs free.
[LG Optimus 3D] h4uw1n3:
How about the reboot issue while using wifi in the sleep mode?

Is it already fixed?

TIA....
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
Hi everyone, I very recently purchased my brand new Desire Z. So far, I am really impressed with the software and general likability of the phone.

Although, having read too much about the Z hinge, it really makes me paranoid sometimes while handling the phone.

A few obervations and questions, which if someone with a few months of experience could respond to would put me at ease,

1. The Z hinge is surely loose, but doesn't worry me in general use. Although, I am scared it will get further loose with time, is that so?

2. The cable / ribbon running along with the hinge is not protected, is the wear and tear comparitively higher because of having no protection? Should I be budgeting in changing the ribbon every couple months?

3. Because of the hinge being loose and possiblity of the keyboard opening on a fall seems almost definite. Doesn't that put much more at stake on a fall comparitively? Fortuunately, mine hasn't fallen yet, but what's the experience you all have had with your devices falling on hard surfaces? Other than the scratches, that's not a problem. I am worried, the device will break in pieces if it falls!

4. For a little more peace of mind, are the hinges metal or plastic? I have read both on reviews and I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this one.

Thank you for taking out the time to read and respond with your experiences.

I've had mine since January and I've dropped it plenty of times. I have never had any problems with the keyboard, hinge, or ribbon cable.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hoffmas:
After dropping my phone a few times my phone speaker went down... Had to replace them ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
So it does seem like it is a sturdy device, or at least as sturdy as the other devices.

Any idea about the hinges, if its plastic or metal?

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] ChronoReverse:
Fairly certain they're metal. I've dropped my caseless G2 several times but it's only dinged with no other damage.

don't know about the hinges if they are plastic or metal...

but i got it 5 months ago... dropped it plenty of times... and nothing happened... not even a scratch :D

these kind of phones are sturdy... unlike samsung phones (believe me, i had one)... it breaks into pieces...

don't worry about the hinge
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
+1, I dont get it, lot of discussion on this, but never I never had any problem with the hinge...
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
I know, lots of discussions on the hinge, but I guess its the placebo based on the early hands on the device. Although, I am getting much much more comfortable and relaxed about it.

In a nutshell, its a great device. Thanks everyone for endorsing it for me!

[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
The G2/Desire-Z is one of the most rugged phones ever made, the only knock is that some people find that the hinge spring action gets loose (mine never has) - but if yours ever does, and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you can replace the stock hinge spring in about 30 minutes, start to finish. - The part costs about $5 - Then it will be tight as hell like when new! (possibly tighter than new)

There is a great thread on this here on XDA complete with an HD video showing you an exact POV of the procedure being done in it's entirety! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Haltorn:
The phone is quite sturdy overall. I had a stone thrown at my screen and no change whatsover.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
First half fall and its scratchless :)

Why I call it a half fall is, it didn't fall but it it lost my hand and hung from the charger and hit the side of the bed pretty harshly. The keyboard did open up though but luckily all's good - gave me a little more confidence on the device build.

[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
Dropped mine a few times - the battery cover always seems to fall off when that happens. Few dents and scratches but nothing serious.

As for my opinion about build quality, personally I think it's pretty crap, due to the design of the hinge. I changed my first DZ for another, since the first one had a ridiculously loose hinge. The second one developed the same problem in 24hrs. It's not that that bothered me so much, but the fact the two halves were not held snug together by the spring, so touching or pressing on the touchscreen caused the top half of the phone to tap annoyingly on the bottom half.

Eventually I bodged this by sticking layers of electrical tape between the two halves. It's not visible in normal use, but I'm pretty annoyed that I had to do this to my (then brand new) phone. Good job nothing better with a keyboard has come out yet, cos if I tried to sell this thing then I'd get literally nothing for it.

The lacquer on my battery door started falling off after a couple of weeks. My physical camera button only works intermittently, but I won't send it away for repair because I don't know what software it will come back with - it's over a year since I rooted this thing, and I don't feel like researching the latest methods, or finding out that HTC have closed all current ways to root.

This phone does not have good build quality, in my opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
A better hinge would have surely made the phone much more sturdy. That's what has always scared me so far, but now that the phone is 2 months old now I have started to get more comfortable around it.

Milestone 3 or MyTouch Slide could be good contenders, I think.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
Don't get me wrong, there is no other phone I'd rather have at this moment in time - but that's due to a lack of qwerty phones on the market, as opposed to the DZ/G2 being some sort of amazing quality :-/

The Droid 4 looks proper nice though, hopefully it'll get released worldwide. And Motorola won't lock it down like they have with every other phone they've released since the OG Droid... but the chances of that are basically zero.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rezapatel:
I totally hear you there.

So, all the current Motorola droids are locked and can't be upgraded to cm or other custom roms? Really!!

[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
I have been VERY careless of my phone, dropped it probably close to 100 times some of them being quite bad, and the most I can see is a couple corners have SMALL little dents, often the keyboard does open when dropped but nothing happens after that... I'd be more worried if dropped WHILE open but chances are if the keyboard is open you're typing (and therefore have two hands on it) My spring is still as sturdy as when I first got it as far as I can tell.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Lol and that's why I got the slide, I hate the hinge with a passion. I luckily got the slide and gave the G2 to my mom. The slide has an awesome build quality dispite the not so appealing look the quality is great.

I have dropped the G2 a couple of times but it had the rubber case on so nothing happen to it. Haven't dropped my slide so I can't compare
[G2 and Desire Z General] swinderz:
I had this since summer 2011. I did get a case (stays attached to the phone) for this phone and found the hinge very weak, it will slide out if I held it in at an angle. Then recently I removed the case and there was no problems with the hinge since, able to hold it at many angles without worrying it slip out.

Having put my phone with keys.etc all in one pocket I found there are scratches on the back of the case. I have dropped my phone a few times but no problems.

Ribbon is good, the hinges I believe is metal (perhaps, alloy or some sort).

I wouldn't worry about the hinge too much unless you plan to keep using the same phone for more than 3 years. HTC does also have a global 2 year guarantee (from day of purchase).

You don't need a software to calibrate it. Just draw 8 on air with your phone a few times when you wan to use compass. It works perfectly for me.

[HTC EVO 3D] gtkansan:
I remember all the work to get the original temp root to be 'sticky' way back when. I am having trouble finding out exactly what was going on that required extra work to get it to be truly sticky. We are trying to get at least sticky temp root on the HTC Vivid for att. Zerg works to get us temp root, but after a little bit the su binary is lost/overwritten/vanishes. IS this what happened to the 3d and sensation? If so, can you tell me how you fixed it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
Yes, PM agrabren ask him what he did. He was a big dev in that project
[HTC EVO 3D] gtkansan:
I have. No reply. Prob busy.

Sorry bout the post location.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
On the Evo3D HTC left something in the ramdisk that would allow for everything under /vendor/ to be retained, so su was placed under /vender/bin/su and then symlinked to /system/xbin/su and /system/bin/su. Not all root apps were able to find it but for the most part it worked pretty well
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Keep in mind, all this is regarding a temporary root. Permanent root should be stored in /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su .. but if we can't get permanent root, having a *sticky* temporary root is the next best thing and we're a bit more flexible with the standards.

The main two variables in this situation are going to be, memory write protection on which partitions, plus having a good location to store the su binary.

xHausx is correct regarding the EVO 3D. Without looking or being familar with this specific method, I know from the Samsung Moment and Epic, we generally stored the su binary outside of system. Best location seems to be in a tmpfs/ramfs partition as the system doesn't seem hard coded to explore/change/modify tmpfs/ramfs partitions. Unfortunately, a tmpfs/ramfs partition is lost on each boot, but as is the nature of a temporary root, i.e. running the exploit on each boot to gain root access.

If you had any links to threads regarding the root process for this device, would be interesting to follow! Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] gtkansan:
All apreciated. They did use a similar method, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345620

[TOOL] Perma-Temp-Root Solution [Mac/Linux/Windows] to get stick temp root. Now we need a bootloader exploit to get around the damn nand lock. Erg. I know EVERYONE over there would love any help or previous wisdom we could get. We've been trying to reach devs like unrevoked, unity, agraben, attn etc. But no one seems on board. I would think with the huge board level similarities between the raider/vivid and all the sensations that someone would have some experience to lend an idea or three ... Any help would be REALLY Apreciated! Thanks everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
android exploits take a lot of work to find/test/develop/release. bootloader exploits are generally more time/labor intensive to find/test/develop/release as bootloader code is closed source compared with android code that is open sourced. in addition, bootloaders can be very specific to only a few devices, where as android is running on many devices.

bootloaders have to be reversed engineered which is a skill set not many people have.

after all that negative news, perhaps somebody with the skill set will take the time to examine this device. perhaps a previous method will work or hasn't been patched!

after reading the thread linked above, seems everybody is on the right track. hope the extra information helps. good luck!
[HTC Sensation XL] wwfc:
Hi guys, loving the sensation xl minus one thing. The panoramic mode on the camera. The problem is I press start, it goes green, but when I try to move it to the next stop, it freezes or moves a bit then gets stuck. I can only stop this by moving the phone really quickly but this results in badly stitched photos. Anyone else having this problem? Seems like HTC didn't really finish the feature and just put it in at the last minute.
[HTC Sensation XL] steviesteve78:
No problems with mine. Have you tried factory reset? If so, and the problem still exists, return it as faulty.
[HTC Sensation XL] wwfc:
Tried f/r. I've heard other people complain about this. I'm going to contact HTC. No doubt they'll be as useless as ever
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
Not had that problem on mine, then again I made a schoolboy error when taking a shot and brought the camera closer screwing up the pic
[HTC Sensation XL] nicovoim:
If you need good Panorama then i suggest JB Camera+ from market very easy to use and Panorama works perfectly in my phone and it takes very good photos also :)

I listen to Pandora a lot and I plan on getting this phone tomorrow. I just was wondering if the equalizer works with Pandora and how the equalizer works in general with the ear buds. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] POQbum:
The EQ works for the entire audio output of the phone through the headphone jack, so it would affect pandora as well I would assume.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I've read reviews that say the Beats Audio is only available in the HTC audio app.
[HTC Rezound] KrisPeezy:
I believe Beats is only for the HTC music app, other apps will not have beats audio enabled.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
just use Equalizer

https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
It does not work in Pandora. Only in the stock apps like the HTC music player. Maybe it will be added to other apps in the future, but I doubt it since it's rather specialized to one manufacturer of phones right now. I have heard of very good EQ apps like those posted in this thread though. I really don't think the Beats EQ setting is so special that it can't be replicated pretty easily.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I never listen to music on my phone with headphones anyway, just through the aux on my car stereo. even then I set eq through the stereo anyway. headphone wise I just use them with my ipod touch when I'm at the gym.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Picked mine up Monday.

Beats only activates when playing through the HTC music app and Headphones (any) are present. Sound is more Robust with beats activated, and much louder.

I was surprised at how much louder the audio became. Many times I've longed for more head room on my iPod or phone. Please be warned at High Volumes beats can cause hearing loss. I hope Dr. Dre and HTC put a disclaimer out there somewhere.

Maybe they only tested the software with the iBeats included.

I will checkout Pandora, never used it on mobile since it was not supported well on WM6.5. I did checkout Slacker, and it was the worst sounding crap I've ever heard. Anything that resembles bass has severe clipping. Haven't tried the beats earphones yet as I have a nice pair of Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pros, as well as a pair of Klipsch image S4's.
[HTC Rezound] hornsfan:
Actually it does work. Beats Audio is activated as soon as you plug in headphones. What you cannot do is control the EQ Curve in Pandora so you receive the default "other" setting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
The phone has been shown with its backcover off and the battery out. The only slot available is the SIM card one. And don't expect a hidden slot on the mainboard. Samsung makes NAND, they're going to source their own stuff.

When Samsung and Google say explicitly that there are 16gb and 32gb versions, with no mention of microSD, I think you can take their word for it.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Ok, yesterday I was quite bored of my phone because it was pretty slow and there were many apps on it. Cyanogenmod looked like a good option so I decided to root my phone using unrEVOked 3.32 in this guide. UnEVOked didn't work, it came up with a "is your firmware too new" message. Everyone was saying how good revolutionary was, so I downloaded that and it came up with a message (cant remember what). I checked for Superuser app and tested to see if my phone was rooted, but all the apps said I wasn't. But when I go to the HBOOT menu, it says Revolutionary and S-OFF (before I used Revolutionary it said S-ON). I think this means my phone is half-rooted and I need to find a way to go back to the stock HBOOT and S-ON because my phones screen won't turn off (it just is very dark when you press the power button but you can still see the lockscreen).

In short I need to find a way to get back to the stock HBOOT and get S-ON again. I am also still quite a noob so I won't understand very technical instructions. Plz help :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Revolutionary simply gives you S-OFF. And if in the last step, you selected Yes to install Clockworkmod Recovery, then it install Clockworkmod Recovery. To get actual root (ie Superuser), you must get the binary and flash it seperately. (Which is available here: - http://goo-inside.me/superuser)

Anyway, the procedure to get back to S-ON is stated here:
