Thanks for the replies. I think I will get the glass, digitizer, LCD, and housing in one piece. I have plenty of skill as I work with small electronics and stuff like this for a living. BUT It just makes sense to replace them in one shot JUST IN CASE its the screen or the digitizer...

Sad Panda do you sell the glass, digitizer, LCD, and housing in one piece?

Or if anyone has a link to one from a reputable seller id be interested. Thanks!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] bigaj:
Its the screen.I'm having the same issue right now.Took it to Sprint they didn't have any screens so they sent me a new phone..
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Unfortunately I don't. There is a guy I bought from that was pleasant to deal with on Ebay. If you are looking for a referral from one of us, which I can understand I will get in touch with him for you. The great thing about the option you chose is you can make all the visible parts of your phone look brand new again. I got one from him at auction for 49, I have even seen them cheaper. Ebay is a good place where you can deal with an American rather than worry about international shipping. Let me know if you want the referral.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Lol I also suggest cleaning the screen. Especially if you have a case thapt overlaps a bit. Whenever I've had a similar issue this was it.
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Yes i am looking for a referral from someone. if you could get in touch with him for me that would be awesome!!

Really have to get this thing fixed Asap. i pretty well live on it and its driving me absolutely mad...

Thanks a ton Sad Panda!!
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
First thing I did was clean it. Still no good. Hell I can just sit it on the counter and watch it start doing its own thing. Or if I text it starts going berserk same with selecting phone numbers. Its got its own mind sometimes. Everything says its the screen assembly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
I had the same problem and the sprint tech replaced the digitizer/screen. It did not fix the problem. They replaced my phone on the spot with a gol' darned 1.50 version. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Sounds fishy. I suppose it is conceivable that you got unlucky and the port that connects the digitizer to the motherboard went bad, or maybe even something physically wrong in the bios region, but it does make you wonder if the tech only said he changed the screen and digitizer. Did you get that vibe rob?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmac:
Anyone found a torch (or flashlight, light, whatever) app that works? None of the ones I've tried work :'( Widget would be cool too.

"Tiny Flashlight + LED" works a charm for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
can you please try using

SWITCHPRO widget

I use this widget all the time to control the torch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SnowmanAndy:
Same here, has a neat widget that allows you to control use the LED light, or light up the screen in a desired colour etc.

I like TeslaLED. I like the widget w/o name. Works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
there was a similar thread going around a few months ago where someone suggested Search Light, i've been using it since. it's very simple, has no ads, and also doesn't have all the extra permissions that a lot of these torch/flashlight apps seem to require. all it needs is access to the camera.

Market Link

Old thread with some other feedback on some of the apps mentioned above

Is it possible to port Windows Embedded 7 (CE7) on Windows phone 7 and even Windows mobile 6 devices?

If Windows phone 7 core is based on ce7 so the BSPs should be usable for CE 7.

Sorry if my question seems stupid.
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
I was opening my phone up this afternoon, so I had my magnifier on so I could see (my eyes aren't quite what they used to be). I just happened to have a bible app with the red letters and blue Strong's concordance up, and when I looked at it through the magnifier, it had a 3D effect. The red was "higher" than the blue. I called my wife and mother in law over to make sure I wasn't imagining this, and they saw it too. When I took the phone out from under the magnifier, the 3D effect went away (obviously).

I played around with other colors, and it seems like the blues and greens are the furthest "back", and the reds, yellows, and oranges are furthest "forward". White seems to be somewhere in the middle.

I almost feel like bringing the magnifier around with me just too see the 3D stuff, but the glass and round fluorescent bulb together are about 10" in diameter, and a bit hard to stuff in my pocket.

Anyone else see this effect? Is this how the 3D phones work?
[Epic 4G General] umby24:
That's quite the strange effect, but nope, that's not how 3d phones work. As far as I know they use Parallax barrier technology. here's a quote:

"The LG Optimus 3D (and the Nintendo 3DS for that matter) uses the parallax barrier technology. Parallax might sound scary, but simply put it is the effect of seeing closer objects bigger and more distant ones – smaller. What matters most is the barrier however. It is just what you would imagine – a vertical slit plate on top of the traditional screen that blocks part of the image for each eye. The technology is somewhat limited to smaller screens, but yields good results without the geekines of wearing glasses" (www[dot]phonearena[dot]com/news/3D-How-does-it-work_id16950)
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
I see this all the time with my glasses. I think there is a slight prism effect where the angle of the different light frequencies (colors) is slightly changed by the lens. I also see it at night when there are bright blue or red neon signs.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
I seen a 3d effect last night

Now it could b just my eyes cuz it was 4am and I was up since 7am that morning so I was veryyyyyyyyyyy tired

I was reading a thred on here not sure which one exactly but with black backround and white text the white looked extremely 3d to me like I could swear that I could actually touch it

I was in the dark and it was the only light to my eyes so it could b since the white txt were the only light I seen them popping out since I was tired and focusing on them lol

But I still do believe there is a few 3dness in the epic
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
It was quite an effect, the difference between the blue and the red was probably about 1/8 inch, and very obvious. I played around a little, and there is a definite difference between the blue & red. Looking at all my app icons was quite impressive.
[Epic 4G General] Squiggy45:
I used to get that on my old Palm Treo. Probably the angle at which you're looking at the letters. Or it's God.

[Epic 4G General] knyque:
Does anyone else have a magnifying glass that they could see if it does the same thing? Mine is the one with the arm that can be moved around, round fluorescent tube with the glass in the middle.

BTW, my eyes are 20/15 and 20/10, so I actually see better than average, but when I want to see tiny stuff, that's when I get the magnifier out.
[Epic 4G General] Looneyrat:
Dear god! What the heck you doing rolling around on a hoover round with magnifying glasses! Creepy ol man you!
[Epic 4G General] sgtkwol:
I've been seeing that "3d" effect when wearing glasses, since CRT days. Must be the way clear ploycarb affects the light. In real life, I can also see slight red/blue edges, depending on the light.
[Epic 4G General] Looneyrat:
Its called cardirac
[Epic 4G General] Gabesn200sx:
I myself being 30 have seen something to that effect. I believe it has something to do with the way the led's are layed out on the amoled screen. If you ever have an average size multi color led you'll notice that depending on the color of the light coming from the led, it is not always centered, or in the same area for that matter. I believe the same effect happens with the amoled just at a much smaller aspect. I've also noticed it on a scrolling led banner. When red and blue are close to eachother, one looks higher than the other

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] socioan:
Hello every one.

i must say that i have tried all the rom for u8800 oxygen cm7 miui oex and original.

each one rom is good and has things that some other doesn't have.

one day i tried the go launcher and all the products from go.

My conclusion is that it has everything you want like you running icecream and you can even make folders with app.

each rom have problems with wifi Bluetooth etc .

you can use the original rom with no problems and have a look beter than icecream.

i am writing this because i liked very much and its free and everything working .

i just wonted to share my experiment with you .

thank you
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
I do agree with you 100%.

Go apps are indeed great and the majority are free.

Go launcher is a must have! ;)
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
Hey there,

My question is about the stock MIUI Alarm (clock) app.

If I tab on the standard clock widgets, it will take me straight to my alarms;

but when I install a different clock widget (SiMi Clock Widget) and want to choose an app it has to open when I tab the SiMi widget, I can only choose the "Clock" app.

That app doesn't take me to my alarms but to the "deskclock" app.

Is there a way to make other widgets behave like the MIUI stock clock widgets so it opens the alarms straight away?

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian.morgan:
Hi Forum,

I've read about 50 responses on fixing a bricked HTC Desire Z, but unfortunately, nothig has solved my problem as yet, so I need to ask for considered advice:

I have an unrooted bog-standard HTC Desire Z.

This morning, it started updating applications, and I foolishly hit the button to 'Update All' applications. This was where it started to go wrong and it seemed to jam up.

After about 30 minutes, it was still completely locked up, and I had to take the battery out. When the battery was put back in, it just went to the HTC logo, and wouldn't go past it.

Having spent the day googling, I got to the boot screen, which reads:

vision pvt ship s-on

hboot-0.85.0013

radio-26.10.04.03M

eMMC-boot

Apr 11 2011,23:36:27

The options below this were 'Fastboot', 'Recovery', 'Restore Factory Settings', and another. (Sorry, I forget).

Recovery pauses for a few seconds, then shows an HTC logo, then a green and black icon with arrows circling a phone, then it turns off, buzzes 6-7 times, and locks up with no lights on. To get any more action, I had to take the battery out.

Fastboot provides some other options, but none of them seem to actually do anything other than starting from the point of power-on with volume down again.

Restore Factory Settings locks up for over an hour, and I have to take the battery out again.

The online guides seem to suggest creating a Goldcard, but I can't see how I can do this without being able to boot up the phone

Other guides suggest usind ADB. I've installed this, but to use it, I need to enable USB debugging on the phone. Which I can't do without being able to boot up the phone.

I've tried putting a PC10img.zip file on the SD card, which it does read, and verifies,but having seemingly processed this file, it doesn't change any of the other behaviour.

I tried to run an RUU, which appeared to work for a while. (Downgrading from 2.42.405.2 to a lower ROM) but this failed about halfway through with a 'USB Error' and no behaviour has changed.

I'm getting a little frustrated. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?

Please bear in mind, I do not have the ability to boot the phone to turn on USB debugging, etc.

Thanks,

Ian.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Wrong section. Try Desire Z forum. Different device, different solutions (sometimes)

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

tutorial for goldcard is here.. skip the part where they get the CID wit hthe phone and use this (copy with no spaces, commas) and use an SD USB adapter, then follow the tut.

Then boot into fastboot mode, plug in via USB and run a RUU.. think this is the newest WWE one
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian.morgan:
Thanks for your help.

Do I still need the goldcard to install the stock RUU?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
There is a fully stocked unrooted nandroid backup in the development section that you can restore. Then use the one-click nvflash tool to reflash stock recovery and you're good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
Any chance if I have to get rid of cwm also?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Nvflash stock recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
If you use tga gunmanns nvflash program, one of the options is to flash stock recovery back to the phone. His program gives you 3 options of which recovery to flash, and one of them is stock recovery. You just go through the same process with his program as if you were flashing cwm, only you select stock recovery instead of cwm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
So that option makes it as if I just pulledit out of the box? Thanks dude.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yep just like it came from factory. Just make sure you restore the stock unrooted nandroid before you flash stock recovery back to the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
Is this the stock one? stock

and witch one? V10F or V21E

I flashed CM7 last night and i didn't like it so i went into recovery and tried to flash another rom. However, it says that installation aborted and can't really flash anything. I then went into reboot and now, my phone is stuck on the Vibrant screen. I can't go into recovery at all. Even if i press the power button and the volume keys all together, it just turns off and goes back to the vibrant screen again. Battery pull doesn't do anything. help. :(

2 - DOWNLOAD 3 FILES

Download ODIN (below). It does not work on Macs. You will need Heimdall and can be found HERE << LINK.

HERE IS ODIN << DOWNLOAD THIS

Quote

MD5: E012B512C1579C3AF7A38A27FD905B86

TWO FILES ARE NEEDED TO LOAD IN ODIN FOR GOING BACK TO STOCK JFD (2.1 Eclair)

The PIT FILE << DOWNLOAD THIS

Quote

MD5: 1D927B36D2FA807A22E64FC86B445130

The TAR FILE << DOWNLOAD THIS

Quote

MD5: 632730F6B637F53E5B10E5CBC8B966A7

Move all files to Desktop.

- Mount your phone and move the rom to the internal (sdcard/ ) & the update.zip file (if needed)

- Power down the phone, or pull the battery.

3 - DOWNLOAD MODE

*NOTE - IMPORTANT*

On my PC, ODIN will NOT work when my camcorder is plugged in.

If you notice ODIN not working, you may pull the battery if it has not started/hung (again, at YOUR risk, not my fault/responsibility). Remove any USB devices just in case if you are worried about it, I have to.

Quote

1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)

2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC

(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)

3- Power down Phone if you had not already.

4- Remove the battery.

5- Plug USB into Phone.

6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.

7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.

Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.

** ALT METHOD

You can also just power down the phone, open ODIN, load the pit and tar, connect USB to pc, hold both volume buttons and connect USB to phone. This is how I do it. Some are not able to do this so the above instructions were used just in case. **

4 - ODIN

Go back to ODIN on your PC. Should be a yellow box under ID COM, Something like COM 5. If not, likely a problem with your drivers, see this THREAD FOR DRIVERS that I created. Should help. If you were on Cyanogen or MIUI you may need the Nexus S Drivers, Google them.

Click the PIT button, Select the PIT file from desktop

Click the PDA button, select the TAR file

** Re-partition is checked now in ODIN - THIS IS APPROPRIATE!! **

Click Start. Unless ODIN hangs, you should see a progress bar start soon after. The process takes a few minutes and you told ODIN to reboot once done.... so... when your phone boots up, you are on stock JFD.

IF ODIN HANGS ON YOU:

- Are you using my files (all 3 of them?)

- Did you check the MD5 using Hashtab (LINK)?

- Are you using the cable that came with your phone?

- Have you tried other USB ports on you PC?

[Epic 4G General] sonarchist:
.......right in the middle of a super demanding day, the message "damaged SD Card / Reformat" appeared on my Epic, when I least expected it (inopportune is the word)............ changing firmware is never without its more interesting moments, + this may or may not be a symptom (went froyo to gingerbread), however,........... am sharing this post to the Epic community, as i sense this to be an important enough issue...........no one really knows the specific cause of sd card corruption + failure: it's variable + always somewhat circumstantial (ie, saw it mentioned elsewhere that overheating from an overclocked cpu could cause damage as well)...................so, moving forward I simply want to contribute as a brief description, here, how i was able to recover (most) of the files from my 'damaged micro sd card:'

First, when i saw 'damaged sd card / format card' on the phone, when it became possible 4 me to do so many hours later, instead of 'formatting' I replaced the damaged card for a new one (pny 16gb sdhc class 10)...booted the phone everything was fine (15.91gb space available)........as expected, no files in the SD Card......................next:

(1) placed 'damaged' sd card into the reader that came w/ the device, and mounted to pc, selected the drive (followed by confirmation beep 'device detected' sound, then the language: 'd:\ not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable' came on the screen..........went to RUN and typed CMD........from new window, I typed Chkdsk d: /r and the PC began reading the contents of the damaged SD card (most of the android zip files etcetera were there, as were a number of files w/ no content) + next i typed 'exit' (no quotations, just the letters) to return to the windows desktop.......OK, so now the only files missing are the pix + video mov's (far as I can remember).

..........(2) next, to recover pix + video, from the pc desktop i opened ZARecovery (if you do not already have it go to Data Recovery Software, Solutions, Tutorials, Forum - ZAR Data Recovery and download the free recovery program from that site).

.............(3) from the ZARrecovery main page, selected sd card as device, selected 'next', selected 'root' folder for all files that ZAR was able to detect as recoverable, entered destination folder name (for transfer of recovered pix + video to PC....note: NEVER to sd card itself!), + lastly, selected 'start copying selected files'.........and that was it, closed ZAR + began viewing the content of the recovery folder to get an assessment of what had actually been recovered, and what had been lost.................fortunately 4 me, the loss was minimal, as I tend to create backups (Nandroids, every half year; pic, videos, email attachments = pretty regularly).

Hope this helps those of you that have been experiencing microSD Card damage (from whatever source).

Remember, + not to speak to the Choir, but can not to overstate this: BACKUP............. BACKUP............. BACKUP.............BACKUP

.....you're awesome!.......my personal history, when I find stability, is to live w/ a perfect set-up for as long as i can surf that wave (hence: nandroid every 6 mo's)........but this is being idealistic.........for example, when testing a beta ROM, an average of at least 6-9 nandroids in the sd card thru several versions of the beta, and at least 3 in the Nandroid Folder in the pc (which is altogether another story: visualizing + creating a pc backup that is operative in a worse-case scenario.)
