Well, ok....

I´m having the same troubles, but with a 32B vodafone spanish htc magic.

I used the RUU utility to update my magic from the vfpionner (android 1.5) and it fail...always the white screen with the RUU or RUU-USB message.

My device data is:

I have used the fastboot oem boot command and I reboot the phone, but I don´t know how could I flash now a new rom or radio or anything, because anytime I tried to reboot always reboot on fastboot RUU and I have to use the fastboot oem boot command.

The flash_image that is posted back I suppose that is for the 32A sapphire, isn´t it? So, is not my flash image...what image could I use?

Thanks in advance and please, excuse for my english.

I made a thread for this but since its similar I'll leave this here too

Hello dear friends this is my situation:

So I flashed the new Cyanogenmod 7.1 the other day and all went well but there seemed to be an annoying bug, now and then the phone went to sleep and I couldn't wake it up and this had nothing to do with Airplane Mode. So today I decided to try a different ROM. Did the Nandroid, backed up all my apps and data with Titanium Backup but then when I flashed the Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC0 wich seems to be a great ROM running smoothly I then noticed a new cwm-recovery that they recommended and I flashed that new recovery (I had the old RA 1.6). When I tried to boot in recovery the phone just stood up on boot screen. Went to ROM Manager flashed ClockWorkMod (2.x.x.x) and nothing, still boot screen on recovery attempt. Flashed the Alternativa wich is RA-mon 1.7H and also nothing. Now I try to install gapps manually and I can't. It says "Application not Installed" always to every google app. Since I dont have gapps I dont have the phone in sync, don't have contacts, etc. Guess I lost ROOT???Anyway this is where my phone stands:

out of RUU mode, exited the stuck RUU mode

yup, i have managed to exit the stuck RUU mode!!

if you are asking me how i did it then sorry. i dont know how! :P

ENJOY

thumbs up for not telling how i got out of RUU mode!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ABD3Fs:
Well, ok...I don´t know how, but me too get off the RUU screen...but now I don´t have recovery, fastboot, phone, nothing...only a blue led when I press trackball and power...the other key combo don´t works...I think this is the time to change my magic...but I love it!!! I don´t want this!!! What is JTAG? I´ll search and try to do this...is better than nothing.

I think the trouble with my RUU error was because of the battery and the pc. I try allways on my netbook, but yesterday I prove on my home pc and fastboot flash zip sappimg.zip works perfectly. Was the same sappimg I prove hundred of times on my netbook, so I think was because the pc.

My battery is getting fat, very fat, so I supose I must to change it, but first I need to reboot my phone.

Thanks to all and try with other pc for people that coudn´t fix the trouble.

I know my english is not so good, but enough to be undertable, isn´t it?:p
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] awebagar:
once again just do JTAG if you have only blue led..

if you can still power on your phone with screen works,maybe a good things happen..

if nothing you can do,with fastboot,adb,sdcard,or blue led only..only JTAG can help..

search on this site, a lot more info you can find, just type JTAG..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Ok so I'm a photographer and there's two things I want in my next phone and that is color accuracy and a high resolution screen. The Galaxy Nexus has the high resolution screen so that’s checked off the list but I’m wondering about color accuracy.

When I view pictures on my GSII, the colors don’t look natural and the blacks are so black that the shadow areas on my photos look bad on my phone (eyes look very dark when they shouldn't be, that's on 100% brightness) and that bothers me. I checked out the LG Nitro HD and the screen is awesone, accurate colors and great shadow definition but the phone is slow and jerky so that's off the list.

I have a color managed laptop and I know I can’t expect all phones to be color managed but I’d like to know what you current Galaxy Nexus owners think about the color accuracy on the phone. If you’re a graphics artist or photographer that would help even more since you know what your image is supposed to look like (color wise).

I’d appreciate the input. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
As every other AMOLED based phone that has ever come out, colors are exaggerated, blacks are completely black and images are overly contrasted.

Stay away if you're looking for color accuracy. Also, "high resolution" is not exactly true, since the PenTile arrangement means it has 1/3 less subpixels than a true 720p display.

For color accuracy you want an IPS display, and that means iPhone 4/4S, LG Nitro HD (this one is real 720p) or Optimus 2X. Not sure if any other models have an IPS display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I don't know about color accuracy but it looks much better then the SGSII.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
For the OP:

I measured the Galaxy Nexus display yesterday with my Spyder3 colorimeter:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378275

Just because it has an IPS display does not mean that it is accurate.

"Apple iPhone 4 LCD Display Shoot-Out":

http://www.displaymate.com/iPhone_4_ShootOut.htm

Selected quotes:

"8. Color Gamut:

Much Smaller than the Standard Color Gamut – Colors are Inaccurate and Under Saturated"

and

"9. Intensity Scale, Image Contrast and Gamma: Too Steep, Too Much Image Contrast, and non-Standard"

In other words, the iPhone 4 IPS display is very good, but not really accurate in terms of color reproduction.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Well I've had a nexus s and a galaxy s 2 on both of them it seemed over saturated. The galaxy nexus seems a lot more conservative with colour saturation at least that my subjective opinion its still very contrasty and vibrant just not obnoxiously so like previous amoleds.

If you care about colour accuracy you better look at phones with ips displays instead of amoled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Thanks. Can you change the saturation level in settings on it like on the SGSII?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
I don't need it to be perfect but I know the SGSII is over the top when it comes to colors and contrast. Galaxy Nexus is my dream phone I just hope the screen isn't horrible regarding color in comparison to the SGSII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
That's good to hear. How are the whites? They look great on IPS displays and not bad on my SGSII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Nice, so how what would you rate the Galaxy Nexus on color accuracy compared to the SGSII (1-10)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Best looking amoled so far. Its has its quirks but it has a lot more perks. Get it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
FINALLY! Someone else also cares about "accuracy"! I couldn't deal with the original Nexus S because of its horrible color accuracy (it had a weird blue/green tint).

One of the reasons why I own the g2x is for its IPS panel and reasonable color reproduction. I'll have to take a look in person when the Verizon demo units roll out before buying the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
7500K white point. somewhat blueish whites.

For reference:

(6500 degrees Kelvin is desired for best accuracy)

Apple iPhone 4 (IPS) - 7,781 degrees Kelvin

Motorola Droid (IPS) - 6,752 degrees Kelvin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Thanks for the input everyone. I'd like to hear from others as well if they'd like to chime in.

I took a screenshot of my screen on my GSII and I'll notice bad transitioning of colors. Does this occur on the Galaxy Nexus too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
i think the colour is pretty good on the galaxy nexus it seems google set the colours pretty well, compared to samsung devices where they go a little extreme with colours and sharpening

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

google does not use solid backgrounds that still has banding even on my computer monitor so its actually in the image and not the screen on the GS2, remeber screenshots are a digital capture that does not factor in what it looks like on the screen of the phone. same as if you took a screenshot of your windows desktop or a game screenshot for instance.

why do people always do this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
No it's the screen I think. If you look at screen comparisons for the iPhone 4, you'll notice that the color transition test is smoother. I'm sure some people could attest to this. I have the Phase Beam live wallpaper and it happens there too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] titooo7:
I had a SGS2 and returned it after 5 days because as the OP said the colors were over saturated.

Now I was planning to buy a Galaxy Nexus and color accuracy is the only thing that could stop me to do that... I guess I should test it in store before I finally buy it online.

i bought the galaxy nexus from google play and the colors are okay, but when you have the brightness off, the "blacks" are a purple-ish color..

I dont know to to get rid of it and fix the color without rooting my gnex, and plus im on 4.1.1 which there are very many ways too root it (sarcasm)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alewillywonka:
For have better colours you must have a colour calibration with a custom kernel. The stock calibration is so ugly IMHO and with an optimal calibration you can have better colours than before!! I advice you to try the franco kernel and his app for do this. After that you can challenge the other screen's phones and win!

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Also the blacks become real blacks!! Try and believe it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
As stated before the best option is to install another kernel and its control app. That gives you good control over color accuracy and levels. The hue can be made quite accurate, but it takes a little fiddling to bring the gamma up without over saturating the colors.

I use Trinity kernel, buy be forewarned that the defaults got it are very blue and dark. You can get into the right ballpark by using the Trinity Kernel Toolkit to bring the blue color multiplier down to 135 (like the green and red) and bring the contrast up to 0 from its default -24.

On my particular phone I bring the contrast up even higher, which seems to do more for gamma and brightness than contrast. Then fiddle with the color multipliers until you have no color tint in the grays and whites. Best done in natural light of course.

The is some unevenness in the levels, most noticeable on a pure gray screen, that can give solid grays a slightly "dirty" look, but it's not apparent on solid colors or even busy grays.

I haven't seen any color banding at all. The gradients look smooth.

The screens vary somewhat, but the exchange policy seems to be good. I seem to have been lucky and got a good one first time.

The "Display Tester Pro" app (play store) is decent for checking levels, color, white point, gamma, etc. And you can make an 18% gray graphic in Photoshop (which calls it 82%), view it on the gnex screen and match it up with your 18% gray card.

Naturally YMMV, but it's not bad for a $350 phone.
[General Questions and Answers] nova609:
I've read several forums regarding square trade and people's opinion about whether or not to use them or stick with carrier insurance.....my question is different and can't seem to find any discussion on experience with this:

I notice that for my phone(GS2 Skyrocket), it's $124/2yr and a $99 deductible..but I see that they do not provide replacement phones, like carriers do, which is fine, I hate refurbs. What they state that they will do is cover replacement cost.

Now I spoke with two reps and got two answers. My question is, I send them a copy of my invoice(receipt), which shows that I payed .01 (yes that's a penny) for my phone....in the event of a claim, are they going to send me a check for $600 minus deduct. or send me a check for

purchase price

minus deduct???

Has anyone had experience with getting replacement money from them?

This seems like a no-brainer question but we all know how insurance companys can be.

Again, I apologize and don't want moderator's coming unglued if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it.........Thanks.

Did anyone get the camera modes update to version 1.5? Any idea of what it does?

Speaking of Microsofts photosynth, why the heck is there a iPhone Photosynth app but not one for WP7?

It's to do with the APIs not being available at the time in WP7 so they couldn't write it for WP7 but could for iPhone. They're planning on bringing it to WP7 as soon as the APIs are available. Whether they are now mango is out, I don't know.

Hi i have a very strange problem, recently my p1000 started to not accept 3g sim card but works perfectly on non-3g sim. Is there anyone who have encounter this or have an idea about this problem? Your help is highly appreciated. Thx.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Ok, I know this is an odd question but I am confident it can be answered here.

I want to buy another android phone, it needs to be something fairly recent that ATT still stocks at least online if not at the stores so I can use an upgrade.

And I want to be able to also use the TMO 3G system/frequencies with it.

I know the unlocked Captivate won't work on the TMO 3G system but does anyone know if any other phones have the proper radios to support both ATT and TMO frequencies when I swap out the sim card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Just to reply to my own thread, after an hour or so of searching its looking like ATT phones currently available do not have the required 1700hz band that is needed for TMO 3G speeds.

I am hopingIi am wrong here and that someone knows otherwise.

I did find a few references to some TMO phones working on ATT bands but those obviously wont help me if I am trying to use an upgrade discount.

I was only searching current ATT phones so if someone knows of an older version let me know too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Well I would recommend finding more concrete evidence on what freq Tmo has in your area and try this before buying but for example (acording to phonearena) Tmobile's Galaxy S 2 runs GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 same as ATT"s Galaxy S 2 (not skyrocket). TMO's Galaxy S runs UMTS 1700/2100, 2100 mhz. ATT's Galaxy S 2 (not skyrocket) runs umts 850, 1900, 2100 mhz. Meaning its possible to get edge, 3g and HSPA+ on att's Galaxy S 2 (not skyrocket) on Tmo. But That would depend on your area and how Tmo uses the different freq.

Edit: Its just an example but you can check more phones to see if any of them have overlapping frequencies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
So maybe there is hope.

I was under the impression that TMO needed 1700/2100 for 3G in my area as one was an upload and the other a download frequency.

What I did was pull up all the Android ATT phones I was currently eligible for and then typed the name into the xda search bar followed by 'tmobile'. That would usually take me to a thread in which someone was asking if that phone would also work on TMO 3G and it was invariably replied that they would only work on Edge with a TMO sim card.

I didnt check the GS2 or the Skyrocket though. I will do that today. Thanks for the reply. I knew there would be xda members out there that would have a better idea than me of how to find out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
I will do you a favor and check both of my gs2's with my wife's T-Mobile sim tonight.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Cool! Thank you.

A bit more research on xda says that there are some TMO phones ( Defy and Amaze 4G ) that work on the ATT 3G bands. That doesn't really help me much though. LOL.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
i wouldnt put much hope into it. you might get lucky in that the skyrocket works on TMo, but its doubtful. i have never seen an AT&T phone work on Tmo's 3g
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Skyrocket won't work. It doesn't have UMTS 2100 (Skyrocket runs on 850, 1900). The "Attain" (none lte) might because it has 2100.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299211

This thread says we are out off luck on this quest.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
What I said. It might depending on the area. If where the OP lives Tmo uses the UMTS 2100mhz then he is lucky else he is SOL.

Edit: after finishing reading IF the phone uses 1700 for dl and 2100 for ul then ya tough luck D=

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dada051:
they went for the iPhone app before releasing the WP7 one, because of the lack of APIs on WP7
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Johnny:
It's less API access, and more the fact that the performance was probably far to dire using the current Windows Phone development platform.

By "lack of API's", what I'm assuming they really mean is they can't write it in C++, and they don't want to release something that everyone is going to slate for having terrible performance :(

My speeds on a regular (unlimited grandfathered data) are very fast. 5-6 mbps.

I just popped my sim in and went (on the Cingular 410 or whatever).

I added the manual HSDPA+ access point, and noticed no difference. Still 5-6 mbps on average.

What are you getting that requires these hoops? I can't imagine much faster?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Around 10mbps in good areas, and more than double what I was getting at my house before changing the plan (low signal area).

Like I said, even if your phone shows it on HSPA (by either the "H" in the signal bar or "HSPA" in signal settings), AT&T is STILL limiting your speeds because you only have the regular data plan on your account. You need the correct data plan on YOUR ACCOUNT to get the speeds you deserve.

Nothing to do with APN's....I am using the stock APN. It's all about AT&T limiting your speed (automatically...by what data plan you have on your account), so you need to get the correct plan on there.
