Hi All,

Phone is HTC Desire (Codename Bravo) PVT1 (one of the first), almost two years old!

Flashed a Kernel last night, and all was not great, but phone was still working...

Today having a lot of trouble with it... Restored a nandroid, restored my titanium from schedual, took a nandroid just in case...

all was fine for a while.. Came home to play with it a bit and it froze...

I can access fastboot, but nothing else.. Everything else is stuck on splash screen... adb shell tells me no device found, so it isnt booting at all, as far as i can tell!

S-Off, was running GingerVillain 3.3, Manu Kernel, was custom mtds, but just flashed cm7r2.. old cwm 2.5.0.7 - very confident with my desire... will try anything... its just stuck on splash screen at the moment!

Has it died? Any help appreciated...

a little more info found here in the thread I made in Desire Section - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398932

Other thread had responses and help me solved my problem, thanks to all who helped!!

so you can't access recover? Sounds like you may be bricked.
[General Questions and Answers] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for your response... Its the weirdest thing, cos I dont know why it would do it!

However, I got help in my other thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20443037#post20443037 - in the desire section, and ran an RUU, rerooted, re s-off'ed and now restoring my apps on a fresh install!

Again, thanks for your response!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Hi,

My Note will arrive tomorrow. I am on AT&T in the US and have the grandfathered unlimited plan. Since I have had this plan since 2007, I am not willing to put into jeopardy. Just because AT&T's systems think the Note is a tablet based on the IMEI, I want to create a scenario that will lead AT&T to believe it's not a tablet (which it isn't) which leads me to a few options.

Delete (after backing up of course) the EFS folder

Renaming the EFS folder to EFS_old or something like that

Getting a cheap Android phone and changing the IMEI on the Note to match (questionable legality, but I don't really care)

What's the best method to avoid the harassing texts from AT&T? I just want to use this phone without incident. After all, AT&T will have it officially next year, so obviously they know about it, jut not the international version.

What do I do once I unbox it? Appreciate the help in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inurb:
Why don't you just buy some cheap 10 dollar at&t branded feature phones on ebay. Now you have a few IMEI's you can provide to at&t if they ever ask you what your IMEI is. You can then swap your sim from note to dumb phone at will to avoid any issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheWhopper:
If I offended anyone for calling it a “prototype” phone, I'm sorry but it is....

I patiently waited for the Nexus…prayed for it…scoured the internet for it’s release date and specs...and when it finally arrived, it wasn’t as good as what the hype made it out to be. Maybe I set my expectations too high since I’ve waited a while for a good phone. (Still running with the HTC Eris)

I had a chance to compare it with the Rezound at the Verizon store last night and here's what I've learned…

The only things SGN has over the Rezound is the following:

1. Display

SGN has a bigger display, however, you only use the full screen when watching videos so for the most part your screen size is essentially he same as the Rezound.. SGN has better color but HTC Rezound has better detail.

2. Ice Cream Sandwich

It's new, not 'battle-tested', and is buggy. I believe it’s because of Ice Cream Sandwich the processor is under clocked at 1.2 Ghz as problems were arising when running at 1.5 Ghz. True, it will receive updates from Google before any other phone. The Rezound is expected to get Ice Cream Sandwich early next year.

3. Camera (Shutter speed)

It's fast, real fast, but the HTC Rezound is quick too. Supposedly, the speed is due to Ice Cream Sandwich. HTC Rezound front facing camera shows more detail than SGN’s.

4. XDA community appears to be going with SGN.

It appears, just about everything else goes to HTC Rezound….to me pictures and videos are the most important features in a phone as I use these often when I’m out and about with my family. I don’t use a point-and-shoot camera since you can’t quickly upload files to the web or forward to your friends and family.

Galaxy Nexus vs iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S II vs HTC Rezound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA3vgZ7W-J4

It seems as though Samsung treated the SGN as a prototype phone, since they used dated hardware as opposed to using the latest and greatest for Google's Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe, it's because Google had more creative control than Samsung when creating the device, thus Samsung was unwilling to fully commit to it…who knows.

Now, I'm not saying I won't get the SGN, but I will wait a few more weeks to read more reviews from you fine folks, plus wait for any updates, before making a final decision. Right now I'm slightly leaning towards the HTC Rezound.

My two cents….
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnarlyc:
It might be a reference phone, but it's not a prototype. I think you need to look up the definition of prototype. If it's not the phone for you, then find the phone for you. I absolutely love mine and plan on keeping it for a long time (in phone years).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
I kinda hope no more carriers subsidize the GalNex. Deja vu one month ago. This phone kicks ass. Did you want a nexus? You got it. That is what makes this phone cool, not the screen, etc. If all you care about is hardware, wait for something quad core and sick fall 2012
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Don't HTC's use SLCD, therefore can't use them outside in sunny weather. My old Desire was like this and really bugged me.

SGN uses amoled screen which works much better in these conditions.

This was a big decider in the Samsung vs HTC debate for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The screen is still .2 inches bigger even with the buttons..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonny_rubber:
so you say that pictures and video are the most important features in a phone to you.........and yet you choose a handset where it well known the camera wasnt the strongest ????????????????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicastro78:
I think people have forgot that the Nexus phones are designed for developers and Android purest. It is not a prototype, but rather a reference phone. If it did use bleeding edge technology then it might be called a prototype!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Lol? Samsung? More like Google designed and Samsung manufactured. Its obvious this phone isn't for you because you missed the point of it. Xda developing for this phone over the rezound was obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
i have an inspire with SLCD and you can't see anything in even moderate sunlight, even with the brightness up all the way and it's annoying me more and more, saving up for GNex, just need about $250 more. Come on christmas
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newparadigm:
It's the price of freedom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thescreensavers:
Exactly, if you want a definition of a prototype look at the Storm 1 :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Trying to work out if you're a troll :confused:

Firstly a prototype uses relatively untried / untested bleeding edge technology. If the SGN is using dated tech then its quite the opposite in that regard.

Secondly, your point is that because its not the latest hardware, it must be a prototype... putting aside your erroneous definition of a prototype, are you then saying all phones that dont use the latest hardware are 'prototypes'? - that's a rhetorical question so please dont answer.

I think what you are trying to say is that ur disappointed it doesnt beat everything else in every category which is fair but the downsides to this phone are well known (trawl the forums) so you haven't really added anything to the XDA community - this isnt a blog. If you want to create a post about your whimsies, perhaps you should set one up :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Yeah Desire was the same. Won't be having another SLCD again for a long time no matter what size/res/whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
I had a rent a rezound for a few weeks and I was so glad to get rid of it. Sense wrecks that phone and when ics comes

Sense will wreck it also. Rather have pure ics goodness then a higher mega pixel camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kk4df:
The SGN is an absolutely fabulous phone. The battery drops fast under heavy use, but lasts a LONG time under light use. And while the 4g bars in the notification bar make it look weak, I've not had problems with the signal dropping out.

This minor issues, which I think will improve with updates, pale in comparison to the features (NFC, screen, voice to text) and ICS. Plus the developer support and updates from Google with source code support should make this the best phone for some time to come.

Sure there will be faster phones with better radios and cameras, but I doubt any will provide more satisfaction for me (personally) than the SGN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firstparadigm:
I also came from the Eris, and I have no in-depth experience with other recent phones, but I am very pleased with the GN. I have noticed a few quirks, but we are innovators, and as such we come to expect bugs. It seemed like the Eris was end-of-life'd immediately, so to get that phone to even operate at a tolerable speed, we had to rely on the excellent work of the devs here... The GN is light years ahead of that, how can you be disappointed?

I do understand the build up from all the hype leading to unrealistic expectations, but one hour with my new phone and I'm hooked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Silent8Strike:
I dont see how anyone who has had experience with a SAMOLED screen can say it isn't amazing. Contrast, color and black levels are just ridiculous, and in 720p on the nexus? Nothing else comes close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
you're right. amoled and super amoled plus screens colors are ridiculous. oversaturated ugly ridiculous. samsung did good with the HD screen. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
This. A million times this.

I had a rent-a-rezound for a week and it was an horrific experience. What a terrible piece of crap the software is. The hardware is fantastic (although I like the Nexus more). I loved the heft of it and I loved the size...but then I powered it on.

Sense *completely* ruined that phone. The phone has great specs and feels wonderful...and yet it's laggy as all balls and has problems with crashes. Why? Because of Sense.

Google should start implementing rules against manufacturer skins. *None* of the 3 do anything but slow their phones down (TouchWiz is the best of the 3, with MotoBlur then Sense following...but all 3 are horrible). I couldn't wait to rid myself of the Rezound and I couldn't be more happy with the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcp2009:
This times a million. I am proud to have owned each nexus. People fail to realize the fact that these are made for as you said devs or Android purest. I've had a good amount of phones and I've always loved my nexus phones better then the rest. They have the best support from devs and google.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
what else can we say? most users (that complaints on this forums, not just this posts) just don't get the whole idea of a nexus phone.

(note, i had all nexus one, nexus s and now G nexus).

for me, its the freedom of unlock boot loader and direct support from community and google (making sure i always get the up to date stuffs). and i am a fan of stock UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mekrel:
The Galaxy Nexus isn't the best phone on the market in terms of hardware specification, everyone who follows the latest mobile phone news; knew that.

However, its a great all around package and a dream to use; mainly due to ICS.

Despite coming from a Galaxy SII which has aspects that out perform the Galaxy Nexus, such as camera, storage and GPU; I'm enjoying using the device.

So far, the GPU has surprised me with its performance in games such as Shadow gun, especially considering the increase in resolution. Who knows if it will be capable of running future content smoothly.

The camera has been disappointing coming from the SII but, I think that may be down to not being used to the instant shutter. I say that because I've seen some good shots posted on the net.

The only other area that needs to be solved for me is the storage. I did hang a lot of hope on Google Music as I own about 14Gb of music, unfortunately it ended up being US only and I'm not prepared to make US Google account.

In summary, I know there will be more powerful phones coming out this year and some of them will even have stable AOSP ROM provided by developers. However, as a package, the large screen and Ice Cream Sandwich make this phone a lovely device to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
You don't need a US gmail account for Music, I just used my normal account and a proxy to sign up via the US proxy end point. Once accepted you just use the app as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mekrel:
That doesn't work for everyone, using a US proxy I can get to the Music Beta page, but entering my Google account details results in being told that I don't have an American account and that Music Beta is only available in the US.

So, I installed cm7 on an sd card, and it works fine. However, when I go to the market there are some apps that aren't showing. I used the latest nightly build of encore, and I'm curious if I should downgrade to the latest stable version to view all the apps. It was my understanding that by using Encore 7.1 or higher, all apps would be visible and I wouldn't have to change the build.properties file. Any help would be appreciated!!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Hmmm, Market incompatibility was huge but has been resolved for long time ago, I'm surprise that it is resurfacing again.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeelzFan:
Market is...

Market version is 3.4.4 and not sure how to get the version for the rom, this is the one that i used cm_encore_full-253.zip. Thanks for the help, the nook itself is rooted as well, using autonooter, but I did that a while ago. Not sure what version of android it's using.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
What apps are missing? Just a few, a specific one or two, or most?

Some apps (e.g. Blockbuster, Google Currents) don't show up at all on my rooted NC or NT, but show on my phone. This is deliberate on their part, and I believe would require a lot of build.prop finagling to overcome.

Other Market problems in the past have been related to screen density, and various workarounds (clearing market app cache, etc.) were required. Those problems should largely be resolved with CM 7.1 n253.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeelzFan:
Missing apps

Sadly, the one that my kids want more then anything is Smurfs Village, but it won't show up. Is there anyway to upgrade my rooted nook (using autonooter) without wiping everything? If I can do that, I won't even use CM7. I'd like to, but how hard is it to go from Froyo on a rooted nook to CM7 internal?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
You might try some of the build.prop tweaks that are floating around. I'm new to them myself, but they seem to be key when you have certain "hidden" apps like this that only show up on certain devices.

Running CM7, either on SD or internal emmc is not hard, but it can be confusing. Just make sure you've determined what exactly it is you want to do.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
It is not hard at all. Just make a titanium backup and then flash CM7 using the guide in my sig.

If you want to update stock then I am pretty sure you need to wipe everything to update. Again make a titanium backup and then restore it after the upgrade and you will be fine.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
I just realized I've had a memory lapse. If you've got the app working on another device, try downloading Android Assistant (AA) and making a backup. Then copy the apk that AA makes over to your Nook and try installing it.

I just did this to copy Google Currents to my rooted B&N 1.4.1 install that didn't show it in the Market.

I would flash back to bone stock EE4 and accept update or flash bone stock Ep4d. I would try this with SIM out first then try with it in. If that doesn't work you might want to flash the above with the pit file (I have never required the pit myself ) If that doesn't work I would flash to bone stock Ep4d and bring it in to the store and get a new SIM. I suggest clearing off Sd card of root related stuff in case they do any snooping at the store.
