[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
Itching for a new Sprint handset, but your upgrade date is still a ways off? You might be in luck, as a newly-leaked Sprint document has shown that the carrier is offering some customers an early upgrade. According to the doc sent to SprintFeed, there's a silent promotion running now through December 31st that'll allow some Premier customers to upgrade early to any CDMA handset in the Now Network's lineup, including the iPhone. The deal is said to be only available at corporate-owned stores, and before earning the upgrade you'll need to have your account reviewed by a sales representative for specific promo codes.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, especially considering that Sprint Premier is going the way of the dinosaur and most of the benefits of program are ending once the year is up. If you'd like to see if you're eligible for an early upgrade, mosey on down to your local (corporate!) Sprint store and ask your friendly rep to look into the promo. Just don't forget to come back and let us know how it went when you're done, k?

I don't know why anyone would re-up their contract at this point. Wait until the LTE phones start coming out, and then re-up.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Exactly, no point in buying a phone now, then being stuck in a contract when LTE comes out
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Unless they want to get you into a new phone now, then you'll have to pay more for the new phone that comes out next year that you should have waited for, but can't pass up. Sprint knows how your mind works.
[EVO 4G General] Fataldesain:
Stop posting this people it is false rumor many people have tried today and no luck. Unless your due for an upgrade in the next two weeks
[EVO 4G General] bdcrim:
Not totally true. I went to the Sprint Store today. I have 3 lines on my plan. Two of them are due to upgrade in March. The 3rd line is due in October 2012. They offered me an upgrade on the Oct. phone because it is the primary line. Don't know if I will cash in, but the offer seems legit. I have been a customer for over 10 years. Maybe that is a reason.
[EVO 4G General] ssbaudi:
Not true! I'm on a family plan with 4 other phones and I was able to upgrade my dad's phone today even though his upgrade isnt coming until next august. They gave us the early upgrade because we are premier members and he is the primary line. The sprint rep told me they just heard about the deal yesterday, and it does indeed go until the 31st.
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
I can confirm this is real. But the stores i called and went to are all asking for you to either upgrade your plan or buy accessories to do it.

Anyone else running into this?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
It's pretty standard to renew your plan whenever you do an upgrade
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
No not renew but upgrade. curently have $129 and they wanted me to upgrade the plan to $149 plan.

Well got some crazy news!!!! i took advantage of the early upgrade and found a store that did not make me upgrade my plan or buy accessories. I think its a store by store discretion type deal with making customers buy accessories and upgrade plans. Also they bought 2 of my evo's for $100 each and all rebates were instant for the phones i got. Sooo i spent A little under $300 and got a 16g iphone 4s for my girl and got the epic touch for me. All and all a great deal and i'm very happy with my new phone

But i'm a little sad to be leaving the evo 4g section of XDA. Gonna take a break from rooting and enjoy stock for a min then be back flashing and learning the epic touch!! Good bye all my evo compadres

Agile Lock
[HTC Desire S] mico_zhao:
what do you want?
[HTC Desire S] esco123:
To use as a lock screen, I like the fact that I can access apps straight from lockscreen
[HTC Desire S] engmarwan10:
I need the official old lock screen were used on 2.3.3
[HTC Desire S] esco123:
Can only get 3rd party apps
[HTC Desire S] Uppy:
best app is widget locker, it's 3.0 skin is almost dead on. Agile lock is no longer being made.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
You say you want to access apps from the home screen...

CM7 already has this feature implemented in a way. You can toggle gestures to launch directly to applications you have assigned.
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
On CM is also similar lock screen implemented, no need to install another lock screens. I'm only missing messages and missed calls information style from Sense lock screen.
[HTC Desire S] esco123:
Oh can you launch app from lockscreen I didn't know this will check it ouy
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Go to CM7 settings > lockscreen > gestures.

Then assign a gesture to open an app that you want
[HTC Desire S] esco123:
Yep will try but i like the go locker theme atm lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bourrinlepoulpe:
Hello all,

I got a Ray last week, unlocked it, rooted it, put MIUI rom on everything went fine.

However today, the screen suddenly stopped responding completely. I pulled the battery out, back in, nothing. I re-flashed the rom, nothing then re-flashed the stock rom still nothing at all.

I tried to relock (in case i have to send it back to my operator and also try the automatic push thing from blendmiui) the bootloader but i got a failure in flashtool.

I can t do anything with it and can not mount the SD card to put an other rom in it.

So basically now i got the stock rom which boots, the power and home buttons work, but that s pretty much it.

Does anyone have an idea ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] piflechien:
well that looks more like a hardware problem on the touch pannel, not related to ROM whatsoever.

Apart from sending it to repair ... I don't see any solution :-(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bourrinlepoulpe:
Aww that s what i was scared of ... Do you know by any chance if the warranty will take care of this ? Knowing that i unlocked the BL ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aragog53:
Yes I think, you didn't brick your phone (software), if it's an hardware problem unlocked bootloader will not change anything concerning the warranty.

Would anyone know of an ebay seller that sells battery covers that match the tmous darker gray shade? Bought a battery cover off of ebay and I'm guessing it matches the EU version because it is significantly lighter than my phone and now it looks two-tone. Thanks.

I wouldn't know of any resellers,

but my eu version really is two-tone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
My application storage area in the internal memory seems to be filling up with junk data.

Factory reset does not help. Tried SD Maid as well, nothing!

Any suggestions guys?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Look under Manage Apps>Internel....you may have some apps there...just move to phone. Much better anyway.

I just have one app in the internal section and its not even big. I dunno why this is happening but apparently my application storage is filling up. Some how the app data is getting filled up.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedfreak007:
Hey,

I've read various topics on the forum, but they seem to confuse me as they say different things:

when ICS was released, some people said we needed a newer kernel for our nook in order to run ICS. but now, we have a pre-alpha build which runs on the old kernel. There are various other devices which have ICS builds on a 2.6.32.x kernel, so why did some people say that we needed a newer kernel?

Are Dal and fattire building ics ontop of a gingerbread kernel?

And which kernel is the "default" for ics? a 3.0 kernel?

i'd appreciate some answers to enlighten me :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer_S_xda:
Take a look here, from the dev thread, kernel is 2.6.32.9.

Homer
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedfreak007:
Yeah, i know we are on that kernel, but my question is: how is this possible? Are they porting ICS to a froyo kernel?

The HD2 uses a froyo kernel too, for it's ICS builds.

But why were people saying when the ics source code was just released that we need a newer kernel before ICS could be ported to our nook?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I think you might be confused between NT and NC.

AFAIK, NT does need newer kernel (as set of drivers since it has new hardware) while NC doesn't require to. I might be wrong though.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombieflanders:
It's my understanding that the NC (not sure about the NT) doesn't actually need the new kernel to run, but it would make things a hell of a lot easier. Mainly, the problem seems to be getting outdated hardware drivers working with the newer parts of ICS--thus the lack of sound and video, among others--and that 2.6.35 has code and/or links to drivers that would help. But until B&N updates to that kernel (unlikely for now)m anyone working on CM9 has to deal with the old code and thus has an uphill battle.

IIRC, at first the CM9 team said it might never come to the NC, so I feel like we're kinda lucky. And if you read the first post of the DEV thread, you'll see that they're still iffy (and that's being generous) on a final, working, daily-driver version ever being released.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj-Gutz:
A lot of misleading info here , I'll try to make it simple and understandable

First , NT has a locked bootloader - it doesn't have anything to do with ICS or kernel ver.

ICS doesn't NEED 3.0 kernel to run ( proven on many devices ) , BUT there are some compatibility issues that needs fixing/back-porting/revere-engineering

and there are some things that can't be exactly ported ( or it's pretty hard and not worthy to reverse engineer ) , such as closed-source drivers

The main issues most devices encounter are GPU & Camera

Since we don't have a cam , the GPU drivers are the main thing to worry about

As dalingrin explained some time ago , there are closed-source libs that we need updated from the manufacturer to support ICS - It seems some can be found compatible with newer kernel versions ( 2.6.35 ) , but again it doesn't promise full support till an official ICS version for a similar spec device comes out

As I see it , a 2.6.35/37/38 or even better 3.0 ( as some devices starting to concentrate on now to get full gpu support & camera working instead of back-porting closed source drivers ) eventually will be necessary , because all we do now is relying on legacy support / hacks

I'm hoping for a community port of 3.0 kernel once ICS port will reach its full potential using 2.6.32 kernel ( now that fat-tire has caused many people to learn how to build , maybe we will see more progress soon :D )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyirishman:
Trying to install themes on the S2 and everytime I keep getting bootloop no matter what theme it is. Tried an ICS and also the Ultratoxic themes

What I am thinking of doing is a wipe data/ factory reset in ClockworkMod mode then load up the Rom via Odin and then flash the theme

Will this work or does the wipe data also delete the back ups created with CWM?

Anything else that maybe causing boot loop?

On UltraToxic Rom and latest Siyah Kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
The bootloop might be caused if you use a SystemUI.apk/Framework different than the one supported by the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .Or even just to clear out old roms etc .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .

Return to service centre .

Or throw in the Liffey .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If the theme is not made for you rom, then you get bootloops.

If the theme is made for you rom and you still get bootloops, wipe the cache and chances are it will boot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyirishman:
The theme is made for my Rom [ROM][2.3.6][XWKK5] UltraToxic Rom v8.0.1 - Lite'ning Themed

I have tried the themes and did the whole wipe cache etc and developer still does not know why I am getting bootloop?

If I do the below what odes the format cache do that is different than wipe it

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove batteryBoot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware

Will hold of on throwing it in the Liffey expensive phone and Ireland is broke:D

For those who were experiencing the time zone issue Verizon called me to tell me it should be resolved. Link to the VM

Let me know if it is working on your ends now!

Edit: Apparently this is only working for me here in Indiana with the Eastern/Central time zone issue. I would suggest calling Verizon and pushing through to Tier 2 and refer them to the issue we had here in Indiana and they might be able to push a ticket through for you. It took them 2 week to call me back about this issue, but it actually works, so I can't complain.

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Call Verizon, maybe they only worked the kink out in my area. If you can get to tier 2 tell them you know someone in Indiana who had this issue resolved and maybe they can push the right buttons to get it fixed in your area. Nothing happened on my phone end, it just simply works correctly now.

lol, most of the people who do it on Facebook don't even have Twitter or G+ and understand how it works or what it is for. Their friends just do it so they play #tagalong. lol

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kittshelby:
Im using a Samsung Focus bought from Rogers but using with Fido. It's NOT unlocked however, but works though.

I heard that MMS wont work if I use Rogers phone on Fido, and that's true, it doesnt.

But I have 2 other problems, and Im not sure if they are my Samsung Focus' problem or a Window Phone problem.

1) I tried the group chat feature for the first time a few weeks ago and turns out it doesnt work! When I try it out, it tells me there has been an error or something.

2) I noticed that when I go to the original Marketplace app, it doesn't show the updates for my apps. I remember it did before and it updated all my apps, but last month I found out some of the apps I had have been updated but yet the Marketplace doesnt tell me that and I have no idea how to update them. I have a lot of apps and I don't want to go through each one of them to see if they have updates and then reinstall; that would be terribly tedious.

So does anyone else have one of these 2 problems and does anyone know how I could fix them?

Thank you!

ETA: also just for your information, my Focus has the latest update I believe. the 7740 version
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:

I dont mind not having MMS. I dont use data, I only use wifi. Yea, so far, it seems like the only way to fix the app update problem is by resetting the phone. But i still dont know whats causing the group chat to not work; and yes, I did turn group chat on in the settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfman87:
So I have this charger for work : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LRPN0S/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details

And when I have the phone plugged in and I try to use the touch screen, it doesn't register my touch correctly. Sometimes it thinks I'm tapping an inch higher, or left/right of where I was actually tapping.

When I unplug the phone it works great, nor does this happen at home with a different charger.

Is there a specific reason this happens/is anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: Mods, please move to the Q&A. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
It could mean that the charger is not supported by the phone. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous and/or stupid. But I had the same problem with a 1A charger from Nokia on my Nexus S (I checked 3 different chargers in shop and all were making the phone act like it was drunk, lol). Changed the charger to a 1A HTC one and it worked. So dunno, change the charger and see if it helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anndalis:
On the manual that comes with the GSM Galaxy Nexus Samsung says:

"While the device is charging, the touch screen may not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device."

I guess that means your charging is feeding the phone an unstable current.

I would not use such a thing and will stick to Samsung's charger.
