[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I've seen a couple of threads such as this with no real solution.

I've been happily using my Desire for months without changing roms or whatever (CM7 and s-off) until last night I opened my Dolphin browser and before it loaded the homepage it froze, totally un-responsive. I took the battery out, and to my horror, it was still totally un-responsive. Wouldn't respond to pressing the power button, pressing volume down+power, charger, or usb.

The battery at the time was about 50%, I've had the battery in and out about 100 times now, trying things like leaving the battery out and then trying again, keeping it on 'charge' for a while and trying to get it booted, with no response at all.

This was until an hour ago, I hopefully tried to boot the phone after the battery, sim and sd card had been out for a while and I got a vibration, and then it hung on the flash screen. I had to remove the battery, then tried to boot again with no response, so I left it a while again, put the battery in and got to the bootloader, thought I'd get into recovery and try a nandroid or something, only when I selected recovery it hung on the slash screen again.

Does anyone have any ideas what this is, or how this could be fixed? Damn I hate not being able to use my previously awesome phone!

I apologise for the long post, I'm just trying to give a good explanation of things. I just couldn't see the problem being my battery, only the day before the problem I was telling my friend how great the battery life on my phone is, and that he should give rooting a go and use CM7, this probably hasn't swayed his decision to root his phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
did you try rebooting it without sdcard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter1115:
If you manage to get it running , try to flash a shipped ROM - it should unroot you and fix any software problems . Try taking it back to your carrier as that sounds more like a hardware problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you are stuck on HTC screen are you not? Then this is the exact same situation is it not?

P.S. Remember to read disclaimer on the thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I have tried booting without sdcard with no luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I would love to try that, only I can't boot the phone at all, not even into recovery.

I've changed the HTC screen to a Google one, but yes, formally the HTC screen.

I will try and get to the bootloader/fastbootagain, only I have not been able to get to that today. I'm going to download an RUU, and try and flash it, although I'm not sure how if I can't get into recovery? Any help there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you don't need recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
Made a noob error there and didn't have the udb plugged in. Got fastboot up, and downloading an RUU, will let you know how I get on, thanks for the help.

Would you advise, running my previous nandroid, once I get up and running again?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
up to you, doesn't make a difference ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
Thanks for the help, unfortunately when I got the RUU downloaded and the bootloader downgrader I now can't get the phone into fastboot! Rather gutted, as I could get it there the other day, now I may have to accept defeat!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
What happens when you try to get to fastboot mode? How do you do it? Try to boot into hboot, then press power button and you should be in fastboot mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
NEVER accept defeat with Android. Try my guide for help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I can't get into any sort of boot mode, I've tried leaving it for days and trying the button sequences, I've tried having it plugged in for a day, and then trying, with no luck!

I will have a look, I will try anything really! just need some more ideas....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I may have to accept defeat, but I don't think I will be blaming Android, more than likely a drop of the phone in the past that has taken it's toll or something.

Sadly nothing in the contents of your quite excellent guide jumped out at me as relating to my problem.

But, thanks for helping and your advice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Ahh well that's a shame, get HTC to fix it for you ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevoh84:
I have been onto them. The response from HTC was amazing, after detailing in an email my phone is dead, won't respond and won't turn on.

I was told, 'while the phone is on, remove the battery and sim and perform a soft reset, if this fails, perform a factory reset, through settings'

I replied asking them how much it will be for them to fix it, they haven't replied! Maybe they don't do weekend!

So if I send it off to them, are they going to frown upon me for fiddling with the phone and rooting etc?

Honestly just call your local t mobile store and ask them if they have any lying around out can use. I dropped mine and the camera glass piece fell out, called them up and they put one aside. They just gave it to me no questions asked.

[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
According to the Amaze user manual, the install files for HTC Sync are supposed to be on the SD card. I don't see the files on the drive when I connect.

Has anyone gotten Sync to work with the Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Zeusus:
I noticed that as well. Just download it from HTC directly.

http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/setup_3.0.5579.exe

It works for me. I use it to sync some music playlists and keep my photos up-to-date.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Since the Telus version doesn't come with an SD card (didn't think the T-mobile did either) I also just downloaded from HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I thought they might mean the internal SD card, which is what android calls it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Ok..just a misunderstanding of terms then. I thought it was called internal memory rather than internal sd card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Thanks, I'm downloading now. For some reason it is not listed on the HTC site under "downloads" for the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
It works for me even though I did not sync anything yet other than using it to installed some apps
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I got it installed and synced up everything. My contacts list is quite interesting, and it doubled the calendar items. But I'm using business calendar (marketplace) and it allows me to deselect "sync" calendar, so that is good. The contacts app from Sense allows one to select which source to view, so that is also OK.

Thanks to those who helped.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ujku80:
I still have this problem

I have windows 8.1 and latest HTC Sync.

It does not recognize the device and it shows nothing to sync.

Can someone help

Pls PM me
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
"windows 8.1 and htc sync manager"

Try google with this phrase "windows 8.1 and htc sync manager":

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...rVersion=3&Type=Software&tempOsid=Windows+8.1

You can search around to find out if ADB drivers are compatible with windows 8.1, and then search around to see if there are any alternatives to sync that will work with those drivers, perhaps in xda-developers or in the Play Store.
[General Questions and Answers] Slipslol:
I have the CSpire Samsung Galaxy S Showcase SCH-I500 with 2.3.5 stock Gingerbread. I was wondering if there is a stable custom rom for this phone and how to go about putting it on my showcase. I have experience with lots of android phones but this particular phone/carrier is qwerky in how you go about the method to change the rom/root.

Mainly, looking for the best ROM that won't alter the phone's stock abilities and step-by-step method on how to flash it. I'd rather not brick my phone. :)

P.S. Haven't seen any posts about this on any forums but sorry in advance if there is a previous post on this.

[General Questions and Answers] SGSsudoer:
I found alot of good info on the CSpire Galaxy S on Rootzwiki in the Mesmerize / Fascinate / Showcase forum. My CSpire Galaxy S has 2.3.5 GB firmware and a build numder of SCH-I500.EI20. From what I have read this is the same as the Showcase. I had my phone rooted pretty easily but Rootzwiki helped alot with putting a custom kernel on it. Once thats done custom roms are pretty easy to find. Just look for stuff for EI20 Showcase phones. Hope this info helps someone.
[Droid X General] j0shtalgia:
I know what you're thinking.... what's the point of having a PIN if you want an app to automatautomatically enter it.

The situation is such that my company has a policy in place such that it forces my phone to require a pin when I wake it if my work email account is configured. Whats additionally annoying is that I use widget locker as well. So now when I wake my phone I unlock widget locker, then slide my droid lock slider, then enter my PIN - a process that has become extremely annoying!

So yeah... is anyone aware of something that would simplify the process, other than removing my work email account as that's not an option.
[Droid X General] mrhost:
Honestly, if your company finds that you circumvent protocol, they can dismiss you. This is typical in end user agreements now a days as is for my company. I would remove the widget locker and place the pin code as your default code in general if that is all they are asking. It sounds like you have several layers to get on your phone when one would work and cover you in regards to your email.

Like the title suggests they're ic_menu icons that have been modified:

They are my pet hate in any theme on any device. I think it it sums up just how lazy google are when designing a GUI.

Anyway i've tried to "polish the turd", thats known as the ic_menu icons in various app and framework apk's.

All zips contain icons from:

*AxT9IME.apk.

*Browser.apk.

*Calendar.apk.

*Camera.apk.

*ClockPackage.apk.

*Contacts.apk.

*Email.apk.

*FmRadio.

*framework-res.apk.

*Gallery3D.

*Gmail.apk.

*GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.

*Mms.apk.

*Music.apk.

*MusicPlayer.apk.

*Phone.apk.

*Settings.apk

*TouchWizCalculator.apk.

*TouchWizCalendar.apk.

*TwCalendarAppWidget.apk.

*twframework-res.apk.

*Youtube.apk.

All the icons in the screenshots are from framework-res.apk.

First is the glass ic_menu icons:

NON-FLASHABLE ZIP

CWM FLASHABLE ZIP

Here are some more ic_menu icons that ive batched, these have a small bevel and gradient/colour overlay.

The colour choices are:

*Green

*Light Blue

*Orange

*pink

*Red

*Silver

*Chrome

Click a colour to download!!

How to install:

Simply download, place on your SD Card and flash from CWM recovery.

Please note that it can take some time to install depending on the number of items.

It will also create a log and backup in sdcard/universal themes/

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dully79:
I've just downloaded the zip, extracted it and had a look inside.

It would appear that when I've dragged and dropped the drawable-hdpi folders across, the framework res folder didn't take....bugger.

I'll sort it out when I get home in a few hours.

Sorry.:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] litening:
The GNote has the ability to act as a USB host, which allows one to attach a flash drive directly to the Note as external storage.

Can we expect devs on the forum to develop USB drivers so we might use other peripherals such as keyboards and mice on the GNote?

I come from a Notion Ink Adam tablet which runs Froyo and was able to work with plug and play USB keyboards and mice.

Would be a very nice feature to hafe on the GNote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pere:
I don't have the NOTE yet, but on my present device I can attach a USB Keyboard directly to it and it works. I don't need any driver.

so you guys are saying that one can use a usb mouse on the note. i guess first you need an adapator or an usb mouse with a micro plug, then just plug and go.

I tested out my razer orochi BT mouse and it worked fine. Don't have any use for it yet until I get a small BT keyboard I can use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] litening:
Hi Pere,

To be honest. I read a review which stated that in practice with the OTG USB adapter only flashdrives and externally powered hard drives seemed to work and that the drivers for keyboards and mice would be needed for them to work.

This did not stop me from ordering the adapter, which still has to be delivered. Will obviously test myself once it arrives.

Would be delighted if one can plug in any USB keyboard.

Thanks for clearing it up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NZtechfreak:
That's the GSMarena review and they are quite incorrect. My USB keyboard works perfectly, as did the USB mouse I tried instore. You will of course need a USB OTG adapter.

Anyone know what that gaming controller is called and where to get from thx.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pere:
Nice!! Thank you.

Two more questions, one of them for people using not standard English keyboard ( French, Spanish and so on...) does the keys layout meet with the written characters? I mean: symbols as ;/"? are in different keys? or does they match with the written ones?

The second question or test: Can we use a Host USB to connect together both keyboard and mouse simultaneously to the note!?

Who will be the first in test?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drelle:
Good question! I would like if one could answer that as well.

I guess it would require a OTG usb cable + USB hub. Does the Note support for a USB hube? I mean, would the USB host in the Note allow that?

Also, if it works with an USB hub, then I guess you would be able to both output screen to hdmi, charge and use USB keyboard/mouse at the same time?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pere:
An Italian coleague has already answered the USB hub question with this video: And yes, we can! :)

[YOUTUBE]0C7B2RDiV3o[/YOUTUBE]

Regarding the simultaneous connection of mouse, keyboard and HDMI would be great but I'm afraid that there are technical reasons to doubt that it's possible...

What about the special signs question? Any idea?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gaolinde:
I am super curious about what showed after 4:00 is that windows or some theme looks like windows?

If Note can operate windows that would be wonderful!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hhenault:
Could somebody explain what exactly is a 'USB OTG Cable' ?

Is it just a cable with a male micro usb plug at one end, and female std. USB plug at the other end ?

Or it needs some magic electronic add-on inside ?

I see huge potential in the Sidekick's camera and I was just curious if it was possible.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
I am positive that 7740 will come to Quantum. It's an OS update. They only started this and many have reported no sign of the update on their devices yet. As for tethering that's a different story and "tethered" to hardware. Seeing that other devices got this already, I am rather pessimistic.

Beggy, what do you mean by camera and audio fixes? Everything here is working perfectly fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakaaithiri:
even i am very much disappointed. I bought Quantum only because of the layout keyboard.

Beggy i go with you. Camera is very buggy for me, none of the pics are of good quality. But audio is fine.

Expecting a update soon from LG.

Lets wait
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
the quantum doesn't have a good camera. it does make decent pictures. That is all that one can expect from a 5MP camera at this size. there is nothing LG can do about unless they come out with a new device. if you want to take good pictures use a camera or buy a top notch phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beggy90:
i mean the quality of the speaker, it's very disappointing to me....i think that it only needs some driver fixes...before i had an omnia7, the picture's quality was really good as for the videos...but the quantum in the videos is really bad, everything's dark and the led doesn't help so much (in videos i mean)...i think lg cares only about its android phones and, at least, the optimus 7....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
but speaker is hardware. there is no firmware upgrade that will help. as for the videos, they are perfectly fine here. did you set your brightness to full and compare?
