[XPERIA X8 General] DokaponKingdom:
hey guys..

okay, here's my problem. i dropped my Xperia x8 and there's a crack on the screen. and because of that, i can't use the phone as the crack damaged about three quarter of the screen. the question is, i've decided to change the screen but will the new screen replace my digitizer (cypress)?
[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
It all depends on the screen. If u want cypress, tell the shop. U can check at the chip attached to the screen
[XPERIA X8 General] DokaponKingdom:
@maliceomalice, i'm from malaysia too :). i can ask for cypress digitizer at any shop that offer the service or only at SE?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
That... i dont know.
[XPERIA X8 General] kulen:
I had screen replaced and I think they only changed screen not digitizer (which is part of front mask).

But I'm not 100% sure
[Kindle Fire General] scratchfury:
Can the Kindle Fire read epub without conversion? Or is there an app in their App Store that can do it? I have a lot of epub books, and it would be nice if I didn't have to convert them even though I know it's pretty easy with Calibre.
[Kindle Fire General] baldbear:
If you can sideload the Nook app, you will have no problem.
[Kindle Fire General] sgood1971:
If you have any other type of Kindle device (Android app, e-ink, etc.) it's worth it to convert as you can get bookmark syncs going. Otherwise Baldbear is right, Nook and Aldiko both support epub and there are many others I am sure.
[Kindle Fire General] subtex:
Just install Mantano Reader.

Does epub.

Or sideload the nook app. Or as you said, use Calibre to convert the files and send them to your kindle.
[Kindle Fire General] Taedirk:
Oh god, why would you pay that? Go grab a copy of FBReader (sideload) or Aldiko (Amazon market) and use that.
[Kindle Fire General] subtex:
Maybe because you like the app better than the others. It's not insane to pay for an app that works better for you.

I'm just offering options. To each his own.

hi there!

i can get a discout on EVO 3d GSM,

you recommend the device?

i love 3d (used it on my friend's 3ds). how can i check im not buying the version with to large lenses and not the one with one of them smaller? (does it matters?)

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] dexteral:
Of course I would recommend evo 3d gsm. I upgraded from dhd to evo 3d. Plus for me so far is the improvement in battery life. In addition the dual core , 3d (love to take 3d pics myself) , 1gig ram etc.... :D .
[HTC EVO 3D] DubelBoom:
thanks

i hope the discout will be good. if not, i will wait to a phone with 720P screen (and maybe 3D :))....

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
I have an app called Plurk ( widget ) on my DHD, but no matter how many times i delet it using root explorer, it is still there. After i delet it, i check using the app manger and it is still ther, so i use the root explorer again and the apk of the app is there again. Why and how to get rid of it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1158:
I used Titanium Backup to remove mine, either freeze the app or delete it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
I tried to delete it, but it keeps comming back. I dont know what is titanium backup. Also the stupid "trends widget" does the same. It is htc's rwitter app ( or something )
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemann:
Look it up on Android Market. Download & Install. Then use it to forcefully remove the annoying apps like Plurk...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plskillme:
If you have Root access simply delete the .apk file from /system/app/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
I could try it, but that Plurk is asia only. Do it does not appere in my market. The trends thing comes with the phone as HTC built in app and can not be downloaded from the market.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
I did. As i wrote it reapperes again and again. Annoying apps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1158:
Download Titanium Backup, install it then freeze or delete any apps you do not need.

Always back up first with TB then you can reinstate if required.

Your phone will need to be rooted.

Good luck...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
Ok guys, looks like i did not make it clear. I dont want or need to back up my phone, and just deleting does not work. The problem is that even though I delete the .apk and even every other file with the name, the apps don't vanish and the .apk file magically comes back to life and exists in my phone once again. So what I ask is if you guys/gals/its know how to get rid of them once and for all?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1158:
Which bit of my two posts did you not understand...

May I suggest you do some googling,reading and learn the uses and capabilities of Titanium Backup as it does far more than just back up your mobile.

It will remove any app and that includes system apps.

Used with caution it is a great tool.

•Multiple backups per app (history length can be chosen)

•Zero-click background batch restore

•Encryption of your backups (asymmetric crypto: the passphrase is needed on restore only)

•Multi-user support for some apps (eg: games) with a widget for quick switching!

•Batch verification of your backups

•Dalvik cache cleaner can free up precious internal memory

•App freezer can disable an app (and make it invisible) without un-installing it

•Convert users apps <=> system apps

•Integrate system app updates directly into your ROM to free up even more internal memory

•Migrate some system data (eg: SMS/MMS) across incompatible ROMs

•Ultra fast HyperShell (much faster for almost everything)

•Batch app freezing/defrosting

•Advanced app control (pause/resume apps during backup, instead of stopping them)

•Restore individual apps+data directly from ClockworkMod backups. Supports CWM5+ and most CWM4 backups

•Full support for paid apps that must normally be installed through the Market!

•Market "auto updating" manager, to easily verify, enable or disable auto updates on several apps at once!

•Unlimited, independent scheduled backups (each of which can run 1 to 7 times a week)

•Market Doctor can retrieve or re-create any broken Market links (for your updates to appear in Market again)

•Synchronize all (or some of) your backups to Dropbox

•Retrieve all your backups from Dropbox (in case of lost phone or SD card failure)

•Protect backup against deletion

•Send backup by e-mail

•CSV data export from any app's DB, to e-mail or Google Docs

•Convert app data to/from Gingerbread's faster WAL DB format

•Brand the app with your name
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If it keeps coming back then there is an issue with the rom as it should not keep coming back. I have been trying to reproduce your issue and can't. I delete the apk and it is gone. Doest come back no matter how long I wait.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:

Why the hell a custom rom would come with crap like that? Is there a clean rom with sense three? No crap and apps to annoy. Letting people install what they want without cleaning it first
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That maybe part of your problem. Plurk is part of sense. If you remove it then sense will have issues. The aplbis all the sense roms. Only way to safely remove it with issues would be to go senseless
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
Ah, well that explains it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:

I'm stupid

well...... I just learned the true power of Ti and doing backups befor doing something I am not sure of. I deleted an app which was a part of the system and thus f***ed up my phone. I did a super wipe and tried to reinstall the rom, but you guessed it, installation keeps getting aborted. now I have no working phone, and all because I didnt do a backup for an app that I didn't read about first and could just leave alone. But if I just wanted to leave apps alone, I would never have rooted my phone in the first place. I will take the sd card out and install a different rom on it from my pc, then put it back into the phone and try to flash it. hope it will work.

Let it be a lesson to all of us, listen when you are told to bavk s**t up.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1158:
Just freeze the apps you don't want with TB then you wont get into strife... :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oradul:
It is ok. I already reibstalled the rom. The apps i needed were backedup by google so i lost nothing. Now i know the the stupid accuweather is part of sense, and i should leave it alone.

i ve manage to get pc to recognise my ph as a device whereby i can transfer

any file to the ph but my problem is this, i m fairdinkum newbie to win7 and i m trying to enable tethering so i send the usbmodeswitch file to the ph i can't seem to find it so i need help.

here is the help,firstly how do i locate the file and secondly how do i open it, canit be done as in andriod ph's file manager? also i m on stock 7.5 mango i don't know if i i can follow the tethering procedure.... any help will be kindly appreciated thanks:confused:
[7 Mozart General] FrozenLord:
Hi,

First of all, could you please post a thread topic?

This way, members that might be able to help you become aware of the problem much faster.

Regarding your problem:

There is no file browser like in Android built-in.

It should not be necessary, because all installed applications are displayed in Programs.

Additionally, you need to be at least Interop-unlocked (if not even fully unlocked) for this Tethering-procedure to work.

Is your phone unlocked? If so, which unlock does it have?
[7 Mozart General] ndmuni:
thanks for yr speedy reply..

no my ph is not unlock as i ve just updated, also i m searching for a tutorial to do so, as i jumped straight from 7.0.7004 to 7.10.7720 i m not quite sure where to start or which to follow cause i m not used to win lingo yet

Incidentally i do not see "Programs" in my ph, is it there by default?

Appreciate yr help :p
[7 Mozart General] FrozenLord:
Hi again,

Yes, the Programs are there by default ;)

When you are viewing the main screen (just press the Home-button, the one with the Windows-flag, to get there).

Then flick the screen to the left (moving your finger from right to left) and you should see a list of installed programs (including "Settings", "Office", ...).

Regarding the unlock, there are several ways:

- the official one (obtaining a developer account for WP7 from Microsoft and registering your phone to it)

- the semi-official way (http://labs.chevronwp7.com/) which is a cooperation of Chevron and Microsoft

- the unofficial way (via flashing a pre-unlocked Rom, see below for details)

Both official options cost real money, so you might be tempted to go for the cheap (aka free) version, especially if you are not a developer.

To do this, you will have to flash a custom Rom on your phone, which is already unlocked.

The additional advantage of this method is that you can chose a custom Rom that has Internet Sharing activated by default (via the application that was introduced to some handsets via Mango).

HOWEVER, you will lose your warranty and (at the moment) all the data on the phone.

Flashing will format the phone, which will delete all savegames, SMS, eMails, ... you name it ;)

This should not be a major aspect if you just got your phone.

Everything that has been synchronized to the Microsoft cloud or some other storage can be restored later.

BUT at the moment there is no way to backup your SMS, savegames and settings.

(You can do a full backup for the sake of returning to an official rom, which will include ALL the data - i.e. SMS, settings, ... - however, this backup can only be restored by 100%, therefore you will lose all the data you stored on the phone AFTER doing the backup).

That's that :D

If you should like to flash a custom Rom, just head over to the Rom Development-segment of the Mozart-Forum and choose a custom Rom.

But beware, depending on your SPL you might have to go through some hoops to flash it or it might even be impossible...

Also, the Rom development-forum provides several threads regarding all the details of flashing a Rom, which SPLs are ok and which to avoid.

So I guess you should be fine if you take some time to read into the matter ;)

Good Luck.
[7 Mozart General] ndmuni:
Thks FrozenLord

Ive just restored 7.0.7008 fr 7.10.7720 cos the battery is atrocious it was fully charged n i sent a few emails,sms and 3 ph calls then i went to bed, the battery was flat in 11hrs, when it was on 7004 it lasted 2days

I had a look at the dev section and i kinda like deepshinning rom which i ve to figure out how to flash it. Tho the ph is only 6mths old now i m not bothered abt the warranty the only thing is that do i ve to go back to 7004 to be able to flash the rom?

current: os 7.0.7008.0

fw 2250.09.12902.728

rd 5.69.09.05a.22.50.50.21u

bootloader 5.0.2250.1(130781)

A pointer or a link to flash the ds rom will be much appreciated

[HTC Amaze 4G] aydahm:
Hi there,

I know there are no options to turn off just 4G in the stock rom (without also disabling 3G), so I was wondering, is there an option to use only 3G and not 4G in any of the custom roms?

If not, can we do this by using *#*#4636#*#* options?

Thanks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] pilotguy415:
No this is not possible. The reason you can turn off 4G on sprint phones is because their 4G is wimax while 3g is cdma so they are completely different technologies. Tmo, on the other hand, is using the same technology as 3g just basically upping the available bandwidth on 3g towers. I guess it may be possible for someone to modify a rom (or possibly it would be the kernel) to run only on 3g but then the phone would not be capable of 4G at all.

Not sure why you would want to anyway as, since it uses the same network, the only thing that would change is slower Internet. It would not improve battery life over just running on 4G.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
I have crap reception in my building. I went into network and selected WCDMA only. So it never tried to do Edge. Amazingly my phone now stays with at least 2 bars of 4G in my building and the battery lasts longer because it is not always switching between. I swear it just wanted to go to EDGE all the time, but obviously there is a 4G signal here... I toggle off GPS and Auto Sync while I am at work on the quicksense it is a vast battery improvement.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Actually, I have found with phones in the past that the EDGE modem does use far less power, if it is possible to turn off the 3G/4G. But I'm still awaiting my Amaze and can't say if there are any options for this - probably not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aydahm:
The reason I am asking this is because I want to use my phone in Turkey, and since there is no 4G here, I can only use 3G...

So then my question becomes; can I use this phone without problems?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pilotguy415:
Right, I'm saying switching between 3g and 4G would not save battery. Switching between 2g and 3g/4G does save battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Oh, I understand. But is it possible to turn off the 3g modem?

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Looking at the specs, it appears that the phone should support the international 3g signal. However I'm not sure if there is an international model. If not, the phone would have to be unlocked to access 3g.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

BTW, I suggest that you update your XDA profile to include your country, so people can know where you are located - it can make a difference in the answers you get. For example, my posts show that I am on T-Mobile and here in the US.
