[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Hello all.

I've been around the forums for awhile (just used the search functions for my previous issues) but seem to have no luck with this one. Well, anyway.. A few days ago I dropped my Vivid from about 2 feet and yeaaah it's absolutely shattered all the way. What are my options? I'm tech saavy so I think I could replace it; however, with the phone being so new I can't seem to find a disassemble tutorial for it. Ive found the screens on a website and on eBay but they seem to say HTC on the top instead of AT&T (because I would reeeeally like to return this and get the skyrocket) so... Does anyone know of a disassembly guide for it? Orrrr... Can I get HTC to repair it?

Also, I found someone local that said he would do it for $120.. But I'd have to pay him upfront since the screen is so pricey.. But that just seems very odd to me since he's working out of his house... Hmm

There is for the digitizer glass. dunno where to get a new LCD though.. Sorry dude.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Isn't that all I need though? The phone works fine.. The glass is just shattered
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chr0nicDreamz:
well there ya go.. if the LCD is not damaged that is all you need..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Okay, cool. Do you know of any online tutorial to install it? Im pretty sure I can do it but I don't want to totally screw it up lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chr0nicDreamz:
This might help you.. Remember Google is your best friend. http://www.firstpost.com/topic/organization/htc-corporation-htc-sensation-glass-digitizer-replacement-repair-hd-complete-video-5ImE5hUXK8s-37569-5.html

It's not the vivid but should provide some insight.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
Yeah, I was googling and youtubing vids but I didn't know which other HTC would be similar design to the vivid, well, besides the raider.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
You could get insurance from your phone from AT&T (as long as it's within 30 days of when you bought it). I decided to get insurance for my Vivid, and they didn't even ask to look at my phone. So add the insurance to your plan, then put in a claim a little bit later (prolly not immediately after).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
I already tried that route. It's a $199 deductible on the vivid... Which is absolutely ridiculous.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chr0nicDreamz:
Could pay the deductible but tell them you lost the phone. Yeah the IMEI will be blacklisted but you will have a test device for root and S-OFF. Also you can sell the removable parts from it too or keep them for spare.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
This one fell about three feet onto the corner with the search button:( not even a week after receiving...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
^EXACTLY what mine looks like :( what are you going to do about it

..I actually found a HTC raider tear down on YouTube; however, the little "void" circle by the battery is a screw so I reaaaally don't want to void my warranty. So, I'll probably just pay the $199
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
I called for replacement told em it was lost payed 200:( wanting to find a Dec. That would be interested hacking that doesn't have the vivid yet but not sure how to go about it..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bduerr:
I just cracked mine also. Obviously no gorilla glass!! I have insurance and called to get it replaced, the deductible was $199 which is higher than you can buy the phone for. I called back into 611 and raised Hel_ with the AT&T Rep because the insurance company is apparently a third party. Dropped the insurance, it is not worth it and she will send me a new phone for $50 after I stated I would go to Verizon for an Apple! Now I can get the glass replaced and Gazelle will give me $300 for the repaired phone!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
Ha!:( my vivid got ran over by a Thunderbird on Christmas eve...and lived to tell the tail! Lol I was super surprised to see only one lil nick from a rock that made it through the zagg screen gaurd..and the screen now has a unique blue "ghost cloud" in the top left corner of the screen the screen also has a few tiny chips in the bottom left corner and along the sides but u can't see them under the case I have which also saved the phone from being crushed! O and it was laying screen up if that matters at all.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

IMHO this may be one instance where thr HTC phones being built with more solid materials actually works against us, the phone being much heavier hits with greater force and possibly is more prone to damage.. I may be wrong but it's my opionion (I always get a decent case to provide at least basic impact protection) I like the Platinum cases sold at BestBuy (good belt clip & protection once you learn the trick of unlatching the case parts)

Best of Luck, sorry this really does not help you after the fact.

Cheers

This is one of the sites that sells digitizers & the SLCD

http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-vivid-screen-replacements-repair-parts.html

Some other sites sell Digitizers and LCD's for the vivid, but to be quite honestly the process is very simple to fix. The only minus is that you'll spend anywhere between $100 to $120 to get it fixed out of pocket...or pay that $199 deductible and realize that carrier insurance is borked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
Hey,

Do you use Auto brightness or no?

If not, why?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shingo86:
I use auto as it doesn't affect my battery much needed screen look nicer when it's brighter. But there r pple tat use lowest brightness settings for battery savings reason
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaneinOne:
Yes, yes I do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandzo87:
I don't. It drain's my battery more than manual settings. Slide your finger over notification area to adjust brightness manually.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
I'm on MIUI so I can change from the notification bar. It depends, if I'm charging I'll have full brightness to show off the sexy SAmoled+ display. But if I'm out and trying to conserve battery I'll have it on auto.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
Off.

Use quick settings via notification, hate brightness changing all time so its all way down except when need to up brightness manually.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGS-II:
Off. Main reason is to conserve battery. Most of the time super amoled plus display is bright enough even when close to lowest brightness. Like the others said there's a shortcut to manually increase the brightness through sliding the notification bar when needed say for example outdoors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshmiester78900:
i never use the auto feature
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svladimir:
Always auto.

I just can't unblock my handset when I'm out (thanks to australian sun) - I see nothing on the screen.

Unless there's a way to manually update brightness when lock screen's on ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juancaretta:
Off and almost always at maximum brightness. When using it in the dark (when I should be sleeping) I lower the brightness via the notification bar shortcut (that also works when the screen is locked using WidgetLocker).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trahzebuck:
No. Manual adjust is easy and more satisfying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valentinrascu:
no!not working good....

inviato da sgs2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasinell:
I do. Tried both and found that it's just as annoying having to adjust manually as it is when auto is slow
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rj3005:
Never..... it ( almost) allways in max. It's a shame to use that beautiful screen on dull settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walidhiphop:
Im using auto.....because home is not like outdoor.....if i make it at the lowest i wont see any thing in the outdoor.......i have it on because it stimulate the sun and the low light condition.....plus .. i dont care about the battery...i bought the phone to use it and enjoy it not to sit and watch the battery all day long and keeping myself from enjoying this coool phone........... :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtoKun7:
I use Auto; I might try manual and adjusting it now and then but at the moment I'm content with auto.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
I kept it off cause you can easily changed the brightness just by sliding the notification bar
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lushstep:
No , I use manual so I can adjust it to the way I like it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cky321:
Always off, adjust the brightness level where you suit.

Auto mode may drains battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Star_Box:
I do use auto bright

It's good to enhance your view on the mobile at any light conditions

And IT DOES NOT drain your battery . it's,false thoughts guys belive me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekurosu:
off, as i can manually adjust it :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristi_8ic:
No auto brightness :)

In my case auto brightness eats more battery than manual one (set at 50%). And I think it is very annoing to se the the brightness up and down all the time:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komsa:
Always auto brightness.....working like it should :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulzero:
How does the notification shortcut work for brightness? I've tried bout everything but it aint working.

Checkrom 4.0 + Domination ICS theme. Anyone?

EDIT; nvm found it. Ill be using it without auto brightness from now on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethechamp:
I don't think I have ever used Auto brightness!! On mine the screen is still quite bright even when turned fully down.

If extra brightness is needed the top of the screen trick is very handy!!

Lmao. You suck dude. Got me happy for a second. Not going to unlock at least a couple weeks. Want to make sure my hardware is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Dunno if you heard or read that unlocking bootkoader wipes the phone so be prepared to back up and restore as best you can without root apps line titanium etc. You should do it now. Also biotloader is relocked in a similar way to unlocking forget exact command ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
yeah i know. i always wait. especially since i am an early adopter this time. some of my apps are going on my nexus. i gotta trim some fat and mp3's. and it's fastboot oem lock but i'm sure samsung can still check unless you jig and reset it.

My GN was unlocked out of the box. so look at the lock symbol when starting, when its a bit open, its already unlocked.

HC 3.2 P7310 P7310XAR P7310UEKJ5

Here is a stock 3.2 ROM for P7310 (WiFi) that I built from a system.img and boot.img from P7310XXKJ4(thanks nirogu325!). This is good for folks that like stock and can't flash with ODIN and for ROM bases\components etc.

CWM Recovery flashable (system and stock kernel included)

Install wipe caches, dalvik cache, and replaces the system partition. It will not touch /data unless you do so in CWM (see install below).

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Rooted + busybox

Removed the plethora of annoying widgets from the home screens that came from the factory.

Removed some DOA 0 byte APKs (AndroidTabletGNA_v1.apk, BoxAndroidApp.apk, WeatherBugTablet.apk, and SamsungHelpCenter_P7310_v001.apk)

Works great with my v2 kernel for HC 3.2 If you had my kernel already, you need to reflash it after flashing this zip since it contains the stock kernel.

Note: This ROM is deodexed. It will boot slow the first time and apps will load slower the first time you use them. It will then get faster, so give it a chance.

MD5 36bf2f8659b6f8087bdbf31ba370fe87

StockHC32_P7310XARP7310UEKJ5.zip

Backup:

Backup your existing ROM with CWM first.

Install Fresh:

Wipe data\factory reset from CWM recovery and flash the zip. When it boots, it will start the setup wizard like you just bought it.

Upgrade:

If you have stock 3.2 KJ4, you may be able to get way with just a flash without wiping data. It seems to be working OK for me. If you have any issues, I recommend installing fresh. This worked great for me as well.

As-is...I will provide no support for this stock ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Thanks a lot! Gonna flash this tomorrow (almost 12am here lol). Will let you know how your kernel goes on my tab this time (crossing fingers).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] mynewuser:
want ro try it but what to install in order to backup my original rom? root follow by cwm willso?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Overcome CWM Recovery - Nandroid Backup procedure: Go to the CWM Recovery > Nandroid menu > Backup or Restore. This ROM is already rooted if that was your last question.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Curious little typo Samsung made in the MTP Application, when you connect it says "MTP initialisation" instead of initialization. This is also present on the previous KJ4.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
The UK guys are going to disagree :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Lol yeah. It was with a "z" in KHA. So far this firmware's quicker than KHA. Got it OC'ed (with your kernel) up to 1.4 and UV'ed -75 only the higher freqs. All is well.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Awesome, great to hear it is working for you!

hi, do you know if this firmware samsung-updates.com/gt-p7310-galaxy-tab-8-9-wi-fi/ is the same as you have. .? second i have the firmware 3.1 P7310UEKHA do you know if i can flash this firmware or i wait for an ota update. .?

i ask because last time i had other tablet and i install another firmware from other region and i got and error of android process and i got infinite loop, please let me know

thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
This firmware was leaked by samfirmware.com (soon to be sammobile.com). It is a stock ROM as the title says, but it is a leak (as in let's say a beta firmware), a stable one as I've had it installed since the 3rd of this month. If you'd rather wait for an OTA then you're welcome, it's all your choice. Be sure to follow instructions and you'll be fine with no bootloops. Don't be afraid to ask if help is needed.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] maturate:
So..XAR = EU and KHA=US I assume?

I think I read on overcome thread, saying there is no hardware difference between regions...just localized apps....which means ROMs are interchangeable?

Thanks for your time, guys!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] jenne1980:
Hey Motley!

Will there also be a 3G version of this rom? I'd like to install a stock android 3.2 rom to my 7300 but I don't find a version that is flashable with CWM recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
US region is XAB me thinks. Oh and it doesn't matter which region you choose since you can choose your preferred language at the startup wizard.

I posted a little ODIN guide in my latest post at the 7300 KJ5 thread.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] _motley:
Sorry, this is just a stock Wifi-only ROM that is prepped for CWM flashing. nirogu325 pointed you in the right direction for the equivalent stock ROM for the 7300 (3G), but you have to use ODIN to flash.

The 3G folks really need someone to do some CWM conversions for the stock 7300 ROMs so you don't have to use ODIN all the time. ODIN is great for low level recovery when all else fails, but it really sucks for day to day use as well as for avid ROM flashers since you have to re-root and re-install recovery etc. If you do go through all these things, at least make sure you do a CWM backup so you have a quick way to flash back to stock next time.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] d1gw33d:
When you say stock do you mean no TouchWiz or stock as in just a rooted/deodexed version of the standard Samsung ROM? I'm looking for a plain Honeycomb 3.2 ROM. I'm downloading this anyway but if someone responds before it'll save me a bit of time ;) Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
There are no 8.9 ROMs that lack TouchWiz yet. If you want lag out, change launchers. I suggest ADWLauncher EX due to its new hardware acceleration functions in tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] d1gw33d:
Yeah I've been using ADW and its great. It's just a few little things with TouchWiz that I don't like... I want a stock (black) launcher bar on the bottom and black system menu & browser.

Overcome 1.2 Theme for KJ5

NOTE: I only have the 7310 (Wi-Fi) unit so this is not tested for the 7300 KJ5.

I can help you out with the bar and toggle menu, but not the browser and Settings, I'm afraid. Here's a CWM flashable I made with images from the old Overcome 1.2 ROM and a revert just in case.

3.2 ROM issue with IMAP email client

Hey all,

I flashed this ROM and it works great with one exception. I use IMAP email which was working fine in 3.1 and works fine now with a 3rd party email client but with the mail app in this ROM all IMAP folders are empty. Sending emails through smtp okay but syncing IMAP results in only retrieving folders but all empty.

Any help or alternative is welcome, I don't want to go back but my only option is now POP or 3rd party IMAP app (which I don't like - they are all for lower phone resolution).

Thanks

So I have the tethering update on my HTC Mozart (Telstra) and noticed that when it gives out a DHCP address the Search Domain is listed as "payandsurf.com" (my phone isn't app unlocked)

Is this a carrier thing so Telstra can monitor tethering usage? (seems odd but if you go to the address it redirects to a company that seems to specialise in that sort of thing)

Anyone else found the same on their device?

Hi, i have been restlessly searching XDA and the web for a solution to a problem i have with my HD2 (EU version - o2). I normally flash a new ROM every weeks or so just to keep up to date with the latest ROMs and stuff and its just become a hobby of a sort. I have MAGLDR and flashed with "NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7)". I have been using this ROM for about a week and so now with no problems whatsoever.

The problem i am experiencing now is that i am trying to do a full wipe (task29) using the HD2 toolkit in order to flash a fresh ROM. My USB cable is working perfectly fine and my PC recognises USB when i am booted in Android. But for some reason i get no connection to USB while in boot loader mode. Afer the usual RED BLUE GREEN at the bottom of the screen u get SERIAL when not connected to USB but when i connect it to USB its just blank and not picked up by the PC... Why is this? I dont know, but i sure hope someone can help me out.

Peace

I have a Google Nexus S GT-i9023 (GSM used in french network).

I tried some ROMs (CM, oxygen) then a decided to go back to stock ROM.

To do this, I followed this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062801

I didn't even notice the BIG MESSAGE about phone version... I'm an idiot.

Not I get stuck with my phone which don't wan't to start, even on bootloader (Vol +, Power button).

I get a black screen with some buttons turned on (the "search" one, and sometome the "menu" one) as u can see on this photo

Sometime, when I try to power on the phone while connected via USB on my computer, I can send some commands with CMD.exe and fastboot.exe but I cannot "fastboot oem unlock" it.

This is a situation that just shouldn't exist.

My new Canon S100 shots movies only in .mov format.

My Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus does not recognize .mov format.

When my camera is connected to my tablet, the tablet transfers images just fine, but it refuses to see .mov.

Unfortunately, I need to transfer my files directly from my camera to this tablet. Easily converting .mov on another computer before transferring is not an option.

Any solutions to this problem?

Have you tried any other player from the market like MX Video player ?

Apple only produces a QuickTime plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows, and hasn't developed a QuickTime application for Android. It's no way to play MOV on Android phones or tablets. If you want to get MOV files onto Android, you need convert MOV(QuickTime) to Android friendly format i.e. MP4 and then get it play.

I know the original nook was a modders dream, but that was a while back, and since then there have been a slew of tablets release.. I've been considering this device, just not sure yet..

It has quite a few advantages over the competition for sure.. Just heard this one is much more locked down..
