[HTC EVO 3D] bnl552:
I am having lots of issues with my phone, touchscreen going crazy, touchscreen locking up until I turn the screen off and back on, phone randomly rebooting and then locking during reboot requiring battery pull, etc, etc. I have tried wiping everything, even using superwipe and tried several different roms and stock and still having issues. I am going to take it to Sprint but I am sure the first thing they are going to do is to apply the latest updates, but I don't want that because I don't want HBOOT 1.5. Any way around this?
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
I was having a similar issue and i installed a new kernel with a new ROM that works great together. I'm not having any more issues. Try a kernel that marries your ROM.

My money making shooter in 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Just tell then not to apply the updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] bnl552:
I don't think that is the issue. I have tried many different kernels and ROMs and even completely stock and still having issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] bnl552:
I'm probably screwed regardless as they will probably want to replace the device. If a full wipe and return to stock didn't fix it I don't know what else they can do. I see that you can now flash Roms with hboot 1.5. Is there any reason I should be trying to avoid it anyway?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bondue:
i have hboot 1.5 and avoided rooting for a long time after i got my refurb that was shipped with it. I haven't had any problems the only thing that is different is you can't currently gain s-off so you will need img gui from market to flash kernels with out having to plug your phone up to a computer and booting into recovery through command but i haven't had any issues. just a small annoiance of having the plug the phone o a pc when i want to flash a new ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] pain-is-free:
I have a friend with a non rooted phone and his digitizer went nuts after the most recent update(VOICEMAIL) sound like the same issue. He took his into Sprint and they confrirmed it was the update that fried his digitizer. He asked me about it and I said never heard of that issue, I told him I will check. Looked on XDA and here it is. Unroot and take it back to sprint. He is receving a new 3vo tommorow.
[HTC EVO 3D] bryce850:
Mine does this same thing .. no matter which ROM setup I use. However it only does it when I have bad service, like the radios are causing it idk its driving nuts at times LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Doubtful you won't get the HBOOT update if you take it in; try one last thing: Wipe everything and reformat your SD card, there's another thread somewhere around here that was talking about the SD card being a culprit for those type of issues.

If you're STILL having problems, then bite the bullet, you can ask for them to not update your phone but most of the time (read: not all of the time) they'll either refuse to troubleshoot your phone or will update it anyway.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
You don't need to plug in to the pc to flash a new rom. You can do everything with hboot 1.50 except change kernel. And as you mentioned you can use flash image GUI. I never connect to pc anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] ekz13:
agree, no need for a pc anymore, kernal is changeable too,

SD card may have been the issue. I haven't had access to a computer to backup and format the card so i just removed it. So far its working fine, but its only been an hour or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xianzai2000:
I am a kind of noob so that I was looking for the easiest way of rooting.

I was rooted via Zergrush, stuck with stock rom and all bloatwares frozen via Titanium backup.

Today, I got a OTA update message. I thought I would lose root after OTA,

so I deleted all the apps that need SU permission except Titanium Backup.

Update was no problem. Rom was updated to 2.3.6 and I got Wifi Calling.

But I still have SU and Titanium backup working, all bloatwares are frozen.

Is this normal? or I just got lucky?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
yeah i still have Superuser on my phone too after OTA but you dont have root access

down load root checker from the market and see if it says you have root.. i doubt it will
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xianzai2000:
I still have root access. See the attached image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
All my bloatware is frozen as well however i lost root after updating. I cannot fathom that your phone properly updated and still has root.

It's been a while when we receive an ota for our nexus s. I was surprised that older version of ics is running much smoother than than the new ones and to be precised its much more stable than our own nexus s ics. That been hammered by bugs lately that cause google to temporarily pulled the update for our phones. We hope google can fix the issues about android os bugs that minimize our phone batteries and the performance of our phone. Because of this instability issues i recoved my old back up and running smooth again with it. My rom is kang dec142011 and my kernel that giving my long battery life and pretty snappy performance is seuv alpha13b btw.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumbleG:
For me, everything in 4.0.3 is much smoother and less buggy. The only problem for me seems to be the battery bug.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njeske:
I can't say I agree with you. The builds of 4.0.3 that I've tried have all been faster and less buggy than any of the 4.0.1 builds I ran.

*** Everything below this is User Information *** For Devs that want to know how to make their Rom ready for this read the second post ***

Download:

What it is?

You know the problem: You wanna flash a Custom Rom through CWM but you don´t like to do a Wipe, install this or install that feature. The solution for you is this application. It´s your decision what you want on your phone.

To be concrete: Make a hook on the things you want in your Rom, click on the generate button and flash your Rom through CWM. That´s it.

For now you can choose if you need:

... to Wipe your Device

... which kernel

... Swipe

... Samsung Apps

... Live Wallpapers

... Custom Sounds

HowTo:

1. Download & install "Galaxy SLC Rom Configurator"

2. Launch it and set your Values for your next Rom flash

3. Click on the Generate-File Button and ...

4. ... flash your favorite Rom through CWM

Supported Roms:

Sorry, for now there is no one. But it will change soon when the Devs read this post ;)

Simply search for this image in your Fav Rom Thread
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fuss132:
*** The Dev guide - HowTo include this feature to your Rom ***

The first thing you have to do is to create some new Folders in your flashable Rom.zip.

The updater-script (we will edit it later) will install the files within these folders when the user chose it in the Configurator App. This means for you: Place ALL Samsung apps in /romconfig/samsung/, all your extra fonts in /romconfig/fonts/ ... Delete all Samsung Apps in your normal /system/app or - like in our example - all Samsung apps will be installed, not depending on the user´s choice!

Especially the Samsung apps and the swype app must be readded after every upgrade of your Rom. For Example, your Rom was based on KPE and no on KPQ, you can´t use the Samsung Apps from KPE on KPQ. Ok?

A example folder structure is attached to this post, it´s usable for KPQ. You can place additional fonts you want in /romconfig/fonts/ the sounds you love in /romconfig/sounds/, your fav wallpaper in /romconfig/livewallpaper/. But DONT EDIT THE KERNELS!! OF COURSE YOU CAN CHANGE A STOCK KERNEL VERSION TO A NEWER ONE, CUSTOM KERNEL TO A NEWER ONE, BUT YOU CAN´T ADD MORE KERNELS THE USERS CAN NOT CHOOSE THEM WITHIN THE APP.

I had not the time to place kernels in the folders. So please:

/romconfig/kernel/stockkernel/ place the Stock Kernel

/romconfig/kernel/bamcustomkernel/ place Bam Custom kernel

/romconfig/kernel/teamutterchaos/ place Utterchaos Kernel

Keep the folders in mind, you have to place the paths in your updater-script later

If you want other stuff to be choosen (other Apps, other kernels...) in the App feal free to contact me

Next thing we have to modify is your Updater script. It´s very easy don´t panic. Just add the following lines in your code:

At the point where your kernel will be flashed

And last but not least this where you want to wipe

And the very last thing. To show your users that your Rom is moddable by this app place this picture somewhere in your Thread (Feel free to resize it):

If you have any problem (maybe my HowTo is bad at some times ;)) contact me via PM or post here. Any suggestions, contact me!

Thanks for the good effort, I would suggest that instead of "all samsung apps" it should list the samsung apps in sub menu so user can choose the apps selectively. Some samsung apps are indeed useful.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blaqkarma:
I allready PM fuss about that,and you are right maybe someone could make a new thread on the general section on what are the usefull samsung apps they want..Cause if all samsung apps+pre installed apps+custom sounds it will eat all the space on the phone...

After I download a new app from the market, when I return to my homescreen, the phone shortcut disappears from the far left position in my dock...its just blank, and then I have to drag the phone icon from my app drawer to get it back.

[HTC Sensation] ijob:
Hi there,

Not sure if this is the correct place but.........

Having big problems with Bomb Da Base Act 2 level.

Basically, the sniper controls are very slow and dont move quick enough to hit the targets in time, has anyone got any tips on how to do it?
[HTC Sensation] RoelVB:
I had the same problem with this mission, but mentioned to pass it by shooting of the top of the building. At this building you are closer to the ship and you have a beter overview.

You can get on top of this building using the stairs in front of the ship.

I hope this helps for you!
[HTC Sensation] typikal82:
Dont stand on the roof (2nd floor), stand on the flat part when you are going up the stairs (1st floor), that way you take out the 2 guys at the bottom and then you are level with the rest of the bad guys and all you have to do is only move your scope left to right and shoot, this helps you from having to waste time looking up and down.

I literally tried EVERYTHING just now. If you park on top of 8 Ball he respawns when you look away. Tried going in guns/flamethrower blazing with 100 armor, still died.
[HTC Sensation] Breznikov:
I found that not bothering with a sniper rifle and simply storming the ship with an uzi was much easier. Haven't done it on my Sensation because that is way too laggy (any help fixing that is appreciated, but I guess this isn't the right topic for that), but it seemed to work very well on my brothers 4S.
[HTC Sensation] pratikgoenka:
hi,

i just did it on my iphone. here it is how i did

When you go into the shipyard and drop off 8-ball, the mission is "on hold" until you fire a shot (or get too close to the ship). So just head back the way you came to the entrance of the shipyard. Off to the side, there are a number of crew trailers. In the center of them, you can grab a pill to slow time. Pick it up and sprint along the side of the big blue warehouse (don't worry, the guards can't see you from that distance). At the opposite corner of the warehouse, there is a staircase you can climb up and around to the roof. Sprint up to the top, ready a sniper rifle, and take out the dozen guards from left to right to give 8-ball a clear path. He is unarmed, so you need to eliminate them in that order. You should have enough "bullet time" to easily take out all of the guards even if a few shots miss.
[HTC Sensation] Gezmond:
nice one for that - will give it a go later!

Been waiting for controls to be available for the phonejoy before i re-attempted but reckon i might not need to anymore!
[About XDA developers] djjonastybe:
When I post something what is 100% related to development things in the Android Development area. It gets moved to somewhere else like the General or the Apps/Themes category.

I think there should be a difference between Development and Releases. So The development can help eachother while not interacting with the parasytes who only want to come and download ROMS and kernels.

Isn't this a good idea? This will allow developers to share information better with eachother. I've seen it in many forums.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
Please provide some examples of your topics that have been moved and we can check whether there's been a mix up of some kind.

With regards to changing the structure of the development forums, this is something that the admins aren't too keen on and probably won't happen.

[General Topics] bholloway:
So I'm frequent this site a fair amount, especially the marketplace section. I'm not a huge buyer/seller the way some people are, but I'm curious as to what members think of people calling dibs or reserving items. It seems that there have been more and more members recently who either 1. find threads where a buyer is tentatively selling a phone or 2. are unable to pay for a phone immediately, but want the phone and because they were the first to see the thread they feel entitled to it.

In my opinion this not only goes against the community feel of the thread, but is just poor form in general. I think that until someone has sent money for the phone it should be open to everyone. Yes I believe in a first come first serve rule, but I'm not a fan of people checking the site every five minutes and calling dibs on any thread they're interested in. It's one thing to express interest in buying the phone, and it's another to say " I want this phone, hold it for me"

This is especially annoying because as of late it seems like we have gotten an influx of foreign buyers who are the main culprits of this. Not to name names but I specifically remember a case the other day where a member said that he was getting a large shipment of AT&T phones for sale. Only a few minutes later a number of members had posted claiming they had first dibs on the pick of the phones.

All in all this doesn't really affect me, but as I look around the marketplace it's something I find slightly annoying. Anyways what do you guys think? Maybe I'm just oversensitive to it.

Edit: To add one previous point I left out. The reason this probably bothers me the most, isn't just the fact that these people want these phones badly, it's the fact that I'm pretty sure they're just buying the phones for resale. It's one thing to really want the phone for yourself or a friend or family member. But I see a some overseas members buying up tons of BNIB phones and I'm sure they're able to sell them back home for a profit. Once again, there are no rules against this and people are welcome to do as these please, but the goodwill of some members to sell their phones for lower than average prices shouldn't be exploited.
[General Topics] Smonic:
This is completely wrong in my opinion too. Just report them and a moderator should resolve the issue.
[General Topics] pmcqueen:
I'm pretty sure any seller in their right mind would ignore "dibs" if another potential buyer sent money first.

seems like a non-issue to me. in the end, it's up to the seller who is going to get the phone, not the guy calling dibs... that's elementary school **** that doesn't apply in the real world.
[General Topics] Archer:
You may be a bit oversensitive to it, yes, but that's not to say you're making it up completely. I think you're right to be a bit irked that some numbers on a hard drive somewhere can be converted into a suggestion that person a will give person b some money at time x when they may or may not have it.

Personally though, I blame the sellers for shoddy selling, not the buyers. If I was a seller and somebody said dibs, I'd just ignore it. When I'm selling stuff I prefer currency to promises.
[General Topics] pmcqueen:
^^ that is the correct answer.
[General Topics] AllGamer:
LMAO! :D if i were the seller i could care less who saw or called dibs on it first

i'll be delivered to whomever can paid for it in full first ;)
