I know people are having problems with 160 character problems, messages not sending ,etc, but for a long time now, I've used Whatsapp. It works perfectly, it's free (for the first year) AND, the part that works out well for me is that you can text internationally, for free, since I have a TON of friends in Europe in my Gaming Community.

Get WhatsApp Messenger and say goodbye to SMS!

WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($1.99/year after)

WHY USE WHATSAPP:

★ NO HIDDEN COST: Once you and your friends download the application, you can use it to chat as much as you want. Send a million messages a day to your friends for free! WhatsApp uses your Internet connection: 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available.

★ MULTIMEDIA: Send Video, Images, and Voice notes to your friends and contacts.

★ GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group conversations with your contacts.

★ NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: Just like there is no added cost to send an international email, there is no cost to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends all over the world as long as they have WhatsApp Messenger installed and avoid those pesky international SMS costs.

★ SAY NO TO PINS AND USERNAMES: Why even bother having to remember yet another PIN or username? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS would, and integrates flawlessly with your existing phone address book.

★ NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT: No more confusion about getting logged off from another computer or device. With push notifications WhatsApp is ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS CONNECTED.

★ NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Your Address Book is used to automatically connect you with your contacts. Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list. (You can of course always edit Favorites any way you like)

★ OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.

★ AND MUCH MORE: Share location, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Precise message time stamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and MMS to many contacts at once and much much more

replacing the usb port, i broke the ap fpc ribbon. used for the hardkeys.

im just wondering, i can get my phone to turn on, and it comes to wph not installed. i can then navigate the magdlr menu, up and down till my hearts content but no way of clicked anything... :/

is there anyway i can change the boot order without my hardkeys ?

or is there anyway i can get it to boot further than magldr without hardkeys??
[HD2 General] aLEOxx:
infuriating to now see it sat there working but not being able to do a darn thing !

can anyone advise me what i should do next? or what i can do.

im contemplating buying spares/repairs hd2, which i can replace the hardkeys / AP FPC ribbon cable.

theres no way i can temporarily repair the ap fpc cable whilst i change boot order to nand is there? :/

no wph

android sd - yes

android nand - yes

volume buttons do work
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Nope there's nothing you can do other than to replace them as magldr is programmed that way. Can I ask how you even turn it on without the hardware keys?
[HD2 General] aLEOxx:
with great difficulty.

just with uh holding the battery in place... disconnect charger, connect charger, if no vibration, disconnect, reconnect... after a few times it will boot.

and okay, so if i buy the new one and replace it all should be good?

ah im not the best, i managed to take it apart to but couldnt get to where you can get the buttons out im pretty heavy handed, didnt trust myself (nor need to at that stage).. but couldnt get the screen off. :/ tips? advice? ordering one now ;)
[HD2 General] tianshi:
Hmmm

you should just buy a new HD2
[HD2 General] cmacia06:
I did the exact same thing. Just bought the replacement ribon cable, and double sided tape. You have to heat up the phone to remove the screen. So u need a heat gun or a blow dryer.

Does anyone know if the issue with 911 calling on CM7 will also be a problem in the ICS roms?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvpde:
If they are built from AOSP, I believe the bug will be there. Roms ported from i9000 "should" work. This is my understanding but I may be wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
Roms ported from the I9000 "should not" work as they weren't built to interface with T-mobile 911. Only a rom derived from a Stock Vibrant rom has any guaranty of worling.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
Very tempted to go for the EN.EU update mentioned in the EternityProject thread over in the developers section (i.e. the "leaked version"?), but was also wondering if anyone knows when this update will be made available "officially"? There's quite a bit of talk about a "december" release on other forums, but those are all US Droid Razr forums with very little mention of this current en.eu update. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
I wouldn't update... breaks root and, like the Bionic, there night not be a way back onto the official upgrade path.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
fair enough.. but no news on the official update from anyone then?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
*tumbleweed*

Impossible to find any info on when/if this is ever coming officially from Moto. By the sounds of it, those that have tried the update from the dev thread don't seem to be having any problems (except for loss of root I believe).. but it'd be nice to have some more info if there's any info to be had?

Or should I just bite the bullet (root not important to me - yet) ? Kholk, any thoughts? Will I be able to update to any other "official" updates from moto after upgrading to this one? :)

the chevron unlock certificate which you install on your device (step 2) expired on 25. Novembre 2011. The only solution to still be able to use the Chevron unlocker is to set on both your PC and your WP7 device to something before 25.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMmmkay:
There are many languages in the HK Firmware to, so this shouldt work ;).

It seems i cant use the Wotan files. There seems to be no way to convert the Wotan Files to use with Flashtool.

I dont want to wipe my Userdata, so i have to use the Flashtool, on Wotan there is no Option to disable wiping Userdata as far as i know :(.

So, is their a Flastool ready ftf File for R800i anywhere?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suplyndmnd:
Okay, So i have root, i follow all the steps required and I get Starburst installed and booted. I then get that my status bar is Force Closing. I do some looking and see this:

My status bar is force closing, what do I do?

Go into clockwork mod, go under mounts and storage and format system

I do this and it completely messes up everything. It says it completes fine but when i go to reboot it gets stuck on the bootup screen. Then when i go to do anything else the menu is now blue and nothing works. I have to reinstall the kernel to get root access via Odin3 v1.85 to get it to respond again. I can then reinstall the Starburst but get same errors or I can do a Restore and it works fine. It seems like the FC answer of "format system" completely breaks everything. Any suggestions/help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SocialReject:
Did you flash the ROM after you formatted the system? You format then flash, not the other way around.

Sent from the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suplyndmnd:
I did this.

1.) Get Root

2.) Boot into CWMR, made a backup (thank god)

3.) Wipe Data/Factor Reset

4.) Wipe Cache

5.) Wipe Dalvik Cache

6.) Install Starburst

7.) Format /system

Should i have format /system then install Starburst basically inverting 6 and 7? I installed Starburst and booted and it worked minus the Status Bar FC's and then I checked here and it said to Format /system so I figured I should have done that after installing it but now it sounds like I was an idiot thinking that. I'm new to all this as my OG Droid ran stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, format then flash. Its basically deleting what you flashed

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grindboy:
Hello fellow GNexers!

I do a lot of work outdoors in the British Countryside. Translated this means; hard granite surfaces, rain, mud, rain, salt water, sand and rain.

When I owned my last phone a HTC Hero. I would swap my SIM into an old Nokia 6200 but with the apparent flimsiness of the Galaxy Nexus' back cover I'm loathed to remove the SIM too often.

So my question is 2 fold. Firstly do you think that the back cover could stand up to being opened once a week or so. And secondly has anyone found any rugged (and waterproof) cases for the Galaxy Nexus? I saw that Otterbox were going to make one but it is likely that it won't be their waterproof "armor" model. I also checked out the "universal" SeaLAbox XL (their capitalisation not mine) but it isn't tall enough.

Any thoughts?

Michael
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grindboy:
*bump(ish)*

OK I've now got a job in the environmental sector meaning I'll be working outdoors 6 days a week so a rugged & waterproof case is now imperative. Any thoughts on manufacturers who have made cases in the past for Android phones that I could hound mercilessly for a Galaxy Nexus case?

Cheers

Michael
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianm:
Being someone who is on the clumsy side, I can recommend the Casemate Tough.

Though only with experience with the HTC Desire version, it offered a fair bit of protection with a silicone inner layer then a plastic hard shell over that. It wasn't fully waterproof but would protect against drops onto most surfaces and the odd splashes.

I'm waiting for the Galaxy Nexus version to be released some time this month before picking it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alolawalrus:
I appologise for circumventing the link filter but I felt it was necessary as I'm clearly not doing it for nefarious purposes.

As this phone is new I'm pretty sure a lot of cases have yet to be released. Throughout my research on this I've come across a number of options. The first one being the Casemate Tough https:// www .youtube.com/watch?v=Z35DJH50Fx0 although I'm not really sure that's what you are looking for in an industrial work environment.

The second one I found was the Otterbox Defender http: //www .otterbox.com/Samsung-Galaxy-NEXUS-Defender-Series-Case/SAM2-I515X-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html which apprently is good at keeping out dust, https:// www .youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sslpZDA6s5E#t=77s specifically concrete dust and woodchip dust.

However that case had a number of cons, to do with the inbuilt screen protector http: // www .shopandroid.com/otterbox-defender-series-case/4A104A9595.htm and https:// www .youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6IQZ7pJEP7A#t=201s he also mentions the the clips could break making the case useless https:// www .youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6IQZ7pJEP7A#t=285s I'm not sure how serious these are though in reality as I haven't personally tested it.

Now as the Galaxy Nexus is new there's still not very many options available for rugged users, but there does appear to be two new cases coming onto the market in 2012.

The next one I found was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Ballistic Shell Gel (SG) Series Case:

http: // www .goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case

It would appear that Griffin Technology might be making a version of http: // www .griffintechnology.com/armored for the Galaxy Nexus though I can't find anything official about it I found these two part numbers:

Survivor 2 Samsung-Galaxy Nexus Black Blk Black

Part Number: GB04189

Survivor 2 Samsung-Galaxy Nexus Pink White

Part Number: GB04190

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagacious1:
yesterday I decided against my better judgement to try and take apart my x10 to see if I could get to the speakers, it sounded distorted during phone calls when the volume was all the way up. I used the dissasembly guide here: http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/05/10/xperia-x10-disassembly-guide/

however once, i started reading the guide, i realized I had to basically gut the entire phone to get to the main call speaker, so i put it back together. all i did was take out the screws, removed the lower support and used a credit card to pry between the covers and worked my way down. thats as far as i got, I had the back cover off and then I reassembled after reconsideration. however, the phone didn't work when i turned it back on. I mean, it works and I can see the backlighting on the screen but no logo or anything. I know it's actually booting into android because I can unlock the phone by memory and proper finger placement without even having the display working. I hear the "click" when it unlocks my phone and the volume/updown beeps. i've even heard my personal set notification tone go off a couple times. however, aside from the screen not working (besides backlighting), it wont respond to a phone call or chime when you send it a text message. If i use a different phone to call mine, it rings several times until you leave a voice message like normal. so, its not acting like its off. so again, I know it's actually booting into android.

after further inspection I realized that there is a ribbon cable on the bottom right hand side (battery side up) particularly close to where the covers snap together. I don't know if I did it with the credit card swipe or the covers weren't aligned well when I snapped it back together but I can see one little trace with a magnifying glass and a flashlight where it was "nicked" or scored. one teeny tiny little thing and my phone is inop.... does anyone have any suggestions? maybe like where I can get that ribbon cable? I'd start over with a new phone but the ebay prices are ridiculous. this use to be an ATT free upgrade phone and now its discontinued. I really doubt you can fix a ribbon cable... im feeling pretty helpless here.

You will need a kernel which supports higher frequencies for your device to overclock it any higher. That "Warning symbol and an android" is recovery mode :p (Try pressing volume up/down when you are there).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Brutal:
Hey everyone. I'm having a problem with my phone where when in a call, the screen will stay black, and I can't turn the screen back on to end the call, use the number pad, or anything. Once the screen goes black, that's it. I have to do a battery pull to get the phone to function properly again. This has been going on since I got the device a few weeks ago. I don't think it has anything to do with the ROMs I'm flashing, I have had this problem with stock, cm7, nightly's, RCMix 3D, and absolution. This is a real pain in the ass, and I hope you guys can shed some light on this issue. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Not to state the obvious, but if you have this kind of problem with multiple ROM's the problem is probably hardware.

Though I can't for the life of me imagine what hardware that would be. Whatever circuit physically powers on the screen obviously works enough to get it to start on boot.

You could try disabling the automatic screen off feature during calls. Just bypass the problem by keeping the phone on. It's not a great solution because a 60 minute phone call will really sap your battery. But it might be a good temp solution until a real fix is found.

Did you try a full factory reset, rather than just a flash to a stock ROM? There might be some glitch in the software that a ROM flash doesn't cover.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Brutal:
I had this problem with full stock and s-on. The problem continued even after downgrading the radio and rooting with s-off and multiple ROM flashes. I wouldn't know what hardware it would be either. I don't really talk much, so your suggestion will work until I figure something else out. Thanks man.

Edit: I just tried keeping the screen on, no dice. As soon as I dial out, the screen turns off completely and none of the buttons work. I also tried the trackball hangup option, but no good.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mniroy:
i think the problem is the proximity sensor. it could be misplaced and covered by the front glass.

download sensor test on market to find out. :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Brutal:
Downloaded and ran the app. All the sensors appear to be working, except the proximity sensor. It just reads 0.

Edit: I ran the test again, and when I first start it, the "0:" line for the proximity reads 9. As soon as I move my hand close to the screen, it will drop to 0 and stay there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Well that certainly seems to be the issue.

I can't remember how to do it, but I'm almost certain there's a setting to disable to proximity sensor during calls. Sorry I've never actually used that setting so I have no recollection of where it is.

For all I know it might be the "screen on during calls" setting I refereed to originally.

I knew it was hardware though!

Also, I saw this app. I don't think it was designed to do what you want, but I think it ultimate does it. It was made so that you could answer the phone with a swipe. But in order to make sure the screen is on to be swiped, it disables the proximity sensor.
