will this version be different from the U.S. version (considering the U.S. will get the HSPA+ version) ? Also, are they're any other negatives since its a Europe version of the phone most likely.. like does it not update correctly over here or is modding the phone in the future different? thank you! I'm picking it up in the city tomorrow and just wanted to know first before using it on T-mobile 4G, the site im getting it from is mobile city online . com .. sorry im not allowed to post links on here yet

You will be able to root it just fine. There's no way to tell now whether or not the US version will be different (or how) because it doesn't exist right now :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AardvarkAdventure:
$800?! Mine was $690 shipped from the UK...and it came 31 hours after I ordered it (no joke). Just order from Handtec.

Also, don't worry about "bricking" the phone. If you start messing with it, you will eventually brick it, no matter what phone it is. It's part of the learning process. I've had 13 Android devices (two of which were not originally running Android), and I've worked on a bunch more.....I'm not sure it's possible to TRULY brick an Android phone. I came close once, and it took a perfect storm of a bootlooping, non-charging phone, and a near-dead battery.

Even I cracked my screen on the second day i bought my phone :) HTC repaired it for 4500 Indian rupees...approx 90 USD. Lucky for me, when I went to collect it, the memory card didn't work. And HTC replaced me the phone .. indeed after a fight..but still they did that and am thankful for that :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinaskih:
Repair it yourself

You can replace the screen yourself. Find a disassembly video on youtube for your model, get the parts on ebay (20-50$ for most models) and replace your broken LCD.

Good luck!

I have a htc arrive and really want to interop unlock it. If I flash my phone back to nodo and dev unlock it is there a way I can upgrade back to mango and still be unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaitanya91845:
Developer unlock via Chevron is not possible on NoDo and later updates. You either need OS version 7004 or 7008 for unlocking it via Chevron method.

And yes, it is possible to retain unlock via provxml method, although I am not sure if it works on hTC devices.

You can always flash a DFT custom ROM though :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starsoccer9:
Their is no DFT rom for the arrive also I planned to unlock using dev unlock tool

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
ideas

Can you boot to hboot [on second phone]? If not you are either semi-bricked or bricked. Still assuming you cannot get into hboot, go download the htc sync drivers, set up your environment [Google has a guide that walks you through it], then with the phone connected to your computer [and on] type "adb devices" If you get a return that looks like a short serial, it can be fixed... If no devices found... well, it will take someone smarter than me ;) If you can boot to hboot, it can be fixed no problemo... Hit me back with results [via pm] I can't follow every thread I respond to.

Regards,

Rob

PS it sounds like the 2nd phone has had either a bad recovery or wrong boot.img flashed to it w/o knowing more

blaziner, no offense but you are definitely the worst offender when it comes to creating pointless threads...lol. I will give you credit though, some of them have been oddly, and I mean very oddly, well received. You created the 'your hype level' thread, no? That was maybe the most pointless thread I think that I have ever seen created in all of my many many years on the Internet and yes I was an adult when the Internet first became popular (barely). ;) That said people seemed to like it and wanted to come by and say how hyped they were on a scale from 1 to 10. How can you argue with that? Carry on my pointless friend.

I should qualify this post with the fact that I have also seen some constructive posts from you as well. Maybe not threads but at least a few posts. And I don't mean this post as an insult in any way either. I know it can sound that way sometimes on these internets. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lani Kai:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
I've looked into this. The answer is no. The reason why is most devices including laptops are set for us consumers to get the furtherest range on wifi ap's. Now laptops atleast have an option in the connection properties of your ap called roaming its default option hangs on to wifi as long as possible then there is aggressive which will change the ap its connected very fast but I have not seen any app that will let you make a "wifi roaming" setting change. I believe its kernel level with our device.

Hi,

I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037

I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:

- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).

- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).

- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).

Just an FYI.

My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine :)...

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:

I bought this gel case and these styluses,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.

I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin

Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)

I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.

It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.

The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.

Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.

When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.

The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.

The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.

Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

As the title implies I think I did in my Epic 4g.

When I unplugged the battery and then put the battery back in it will not boot or go into download mode. Any advice or did I actually brick it this time? Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gavisann:

Remove the battery for a couple of minutes. Plug in with no battery and go to dl mode. You will be fine.

Advice above is good. Definitely try it with no battery or sd card using the computer as the power source try to put it into download mode.

But some claim that the hole by the camera is a reset button. poke it with a paper clip (gently?) for about 10-30 secs.

Hi all,

I live in Indonesia and my brother will be bringing back a Kindle Fire for me for Christmas and here are some questions: I am aware that I'm not able to download or buy Amazon apps, movies, etc. outside of the US and according to my brother the system used is a modified android 2.3. If I root the device I will be able to install the full android market right? Then will I be able to make purchases on the android market the same way as other android devices or tablet (like HTC Desire HD)?

If I root it, does it mean that I won't be able to automatically update the official system update when it's release? (I'm not sure if I could do it anyway outside of US).

I don't have the Kindle Fire yet so I'm not able to test it out. Is there anything I need to get my brother to download or do first in the states before he brings it to Indonesia?
