Hi,

Try the following:

1. Download adb tools. (www.filesonic.com/file/1774628264)

2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)

3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting

4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")

5. Don't forget to enable the "usb debugging" when you connect it by the USB.

6. Enter in the command prompt screen the following:

adb devices

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar cid

7. If your mobile is from Europe, it will give you: HTC__001.

8. You can search the net for other codes and accordingly, download the suitable RUU file. If you are unlucky like me, your mobile will show "HTC__038" .

Good luck.

Thank you for the reply but I tried, Eurpoe, wwe, Asia, Thailand softwares but I couldn't. As lomg as the mobile is still S-On, you can only istall the RUU of the mobile region.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is there a way to system update without installing a custom ROM? Since I can't receive OTA updates I've been stuck on the same version of android ever since I rooted.

Alternatively, is there a stable ROM which I can flash, as all the ones which I've tried have been buggy?

Running android 2.3.4 with sense 3.0 on orange network in the UK. Rooted with revolutionary.

Thanks a lot.
[HTC Sensation] tward291:
android development has all the roms and the latest versions of them or you can go to rom manger and flash from there

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Oh well, just show me where can I get that clock widget. It does say "concept" in the title. Bezel to bezel screen is t*t's IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Same here :D

I doubt someone would go so far as to create a fake clock widget. Yeah the bezel to bezel screen was also reported for the "iPhone 5" but people were brought down by the 4s. Definitely not bad looking though and I want it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] webran61:
Hate the TouchWiz implementation. :eek:

Too many on-screen keys.

Please ignore this mockup Samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
It actually looks good and besides, the keys can be easily handled by a dev. Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the GS3 earlier than they released the GS2.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
How are those "leaked images" if they were generated by user on a Russian concept phone site?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Too. Much. Bezel.

Beat Apple to it, you know the iPhone5 is going to have ulta-minimal bezel.

I know it's an unofficial concept image, but, it's likely right on--roughly speaking. It's time for these companies to stop just achieving design parity with Apple and actually surpassing them. They have an entire fncking year to do it every. single. time. Our specs slaughter the iPhone, constantly...for years now. Time to leapfrog in the physical design department.

Thinner, the least bezel possible, moar screen, moar battery. Get on it Samsung.

PS; Samsung....better radios, plox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Just do this and I'll be content. If they really want to make me happy, higherres screen and quad proc but I'd be satisfied with the sgs2 with a supped up radio. (including the wifi part)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
yeah the clock widget looks amazing. any idea anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Since its a rendered image, it may not exist but so many people are liking that widget, it wouldn't surprise me if someone is making it if its not real
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] domwin:
I like that wallpaper..anyone know where I can get it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I certainly hope that isn't a real clock widget... If you look at the month dial, it reflects the wrong month where "Jun" is. Should be "Jul".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
What do you expect? It was made by a ruskie :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Also the time on the widget and the notification bar don't match, I guess its still in beta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I LOVE my S2. I really do but you can't really do "less bezel" at least not on the sides.

its already almost impossible to use the phone one handed (and I have gigantic hands) people with smaller hands? forget it.

the problem is touching things. your palm and thumb "base" touch the screen when you try to reach across the screen to the opposite side.

ie it registers a multi touch negating what you were trying to do.

less left/right bezel would only make this problem worse.

some "equivalent" of palm rejection is needed on these things.

I however LOVE and DO want someone to make that widget REAL. Please.! ?

[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
I am using Stock GB version 20G... My Messaging App is showing "1" home screen but there are no texts. I have tired.. Battery pull, trying another sim card, deleted Messages data...

I can't think of anything else to try and don't want to do a hardware reset...

Any ideas???.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
I had the same problem and solved by deleting the sms database.

You have to delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

That's the SMS database file. After that, reboot your phone and try to receive a SMS to regenerate the file.

You can backup that file just in case.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
When ever iv had that problem I just waited for another message and it cleared the 1 away.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
Still got it showing 1 on the homescreen Messaging app. Deleted all android data on internal sd & external sd. Been texting off/on since it happened Friday. Just trying to ignore it but am sure it will delete itself after a couple of weeks lol (I hope).
[LG Optimus 2x] xIceCream:
U could try flash a new ROM if u want. Lol
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
For me, deleting the file with Root Explorer did the trick.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
Just thought I would mention that its strangely sorted it self lol. As it was New Years, sent loads of texts and let them build up and it was showing 23 on Messaging App. Left them for a while and then started to read each one.

For some reason, this then refreshed the amount of messages and its not showing any texts unread now :-). Seems yet another bug with the O2X?.
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
If you are using an alternative messaging app, then you need to disable the notifications from the stock messaging app. Otherwise it will always be showing that there are unread messages.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
No, its the original LG Optimus 2X Stock GB Messaging App lol. Never used a another one as I like the standard messaging app... So, it was never that.

Still find it all strange though :-$
[LG Optimus 2x] freemannnn:
me the same with stock lg 20o.

stuck with "1" in the notification center after hard reset the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
Try and send yourself loads of texts and let them build up.. Then click on them one by one. That's what sorted mine, but got 23 texts from.different people on New Years Eve lol.
[General Questions and Answers] sladaar:
Hi all,

excuse me if i try to reach the point but here it is:

htc Desire with rom revolution 2.0 (ask me for further details),runned perfectly until yesterday when Sense crashed and stopped to start,even rebooting the phone,changing battery.

I've done a full backup with the recovery and tried to restore,but the problem won't leave: the phone wasn't usable.

Now the point is: i just want to have the notes of AKnotepad back,even extracting the IMG files of the backup (that's what i'm trying to do) or doing whatever.

ps: i changed rom,now i've insertcoin and restored Expense Manager data copying files with Root Explorer,but i don't find the NOTES.

Thanks in advance all you guys and merry christmas
[General Questions and Answers] sladaar:
just to let you know:

i found aknotepad DATABASE in data.img (from nandroid recovery) in data\com.akproduction.notepad\aknotepad.db

obviously isn't readble as a text but is at least something.sadly copying it inside the internal memory doesn't work
[General Questions and Answers] sladaar:
SOLVED:

you've got to copy the database BEFORE installing the app (so you do not have to overwrite nothing).once installed,everything is like before crashing

merry chirstmas everybody
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScreamingBadger:
I've looked in the forums and can't find my particular problem. I have a rooted Verizon SCH-I800 Tab running stock rom. I have had it for a year with no problems. Just the other day, the battery started freaking out on me. When I plug it in the battery charges quickly. As soon as I unplug it, it discharges to 0% within about 40 seconds. When I leave it plugged in and turned on, I can view the battery function through the settings menu. The battery jumps from 97% to 89% to 68% to 56% before jumping back up to 98% or so - all within about 20 seconds.

I've done a factory reset with a full wipe and cleared everything, including the cache. :mad: Same problem.

Is this thing done, or is it a software glitch I can fix? Thanks for any info or pointing me to a thread where this has already been dealt with.

[HD2 General] Prime-DK:
Hi guys.

Today I just updated my HTC HD2.

But when I reboot the phone, and press the red phone button, the phone freez and I can't do enything. But when i doesn't press the red phone button, it doesn't freeze.

What can this be?
[HD2 General] duckpeople:
What it can be is a real pain. My HD2 freezes whenever it goes into lock mode. Either by pressing the red button, or when it self locks.

I have found that I disable "Turn off if device is not used for . . ." setting in the Settings, sound & display, Backlight menu, I don't have a problem as long as I do not lock the screen by any method.

This is an issue that has gotten progressively worse over the last 2 months. To the point where it is very difficult to unlock. Many attempts and much time.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
From my experience it is a matter of time for your touchscreen to die (sorry for bad news)!

Replacing it would be the right solution!

Good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] HunnyBearLewis:
Whenever I'm trying to play most games my multi touch fails!

This happens with gameboid, tanked, Shadowgun, Grand Theft Auto...and I'm sure a number of other apps/games. I'll start to run with my left thumb and then upon shooting with the right the left will lose contact for a millisecond and detect my thumb again but as if it just touched so my running stops. VERY annoying and makes playing anything IMPOSSIBLE.

Is this a common problem with Amazes? I'm deciding if I should sell it immediately.

Also, I bought it secondhand so I'm guessing neither HTC nor Tmobile will switch it out right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] brolic925t:
it has been annoying the **** outta me since the first update that has beel rolled out. like its really annoying. It gets fixed with updates cause the roms i have installed made the problem a little bit better
[HTC Amaze 4G] HunnyBearLewis:
What Rom are you on? Im on Beast Mod 2.1.2
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
The contact pins for the touch screen needs to be tweaked. Search for it. Haven't had a touch screen issue since.

Anybody have the VMware View client working in CM7.1 or know how to get it working?
[Nook Color General] MrColdbird:
Why would you need that?

For linux terminals you got ssh, for linux desktop you got vnc, for windows desktop you got remote desktop and vnc.

All of which run fine on my androids, so remote control shouldnt be a problem really.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeppelinJ0:
Like the title says, I'm not due for an upgrade until next December but I'd really like to dump my current phone for a Nexus... it's just dog-slow, has no support from any Dev communities nor support from Samsung themselves...

With that said I'm wondering if anyone has found a way around having to pay the full $800 to get a new Nexus device. I went in to Best Buy today to see if I could extend my contract by another 2 years but he said the best I could do is to start a Family Plan, move my number to that and add a new line so I'd be paying $130 a month. I don't think so.

It's important that I keep my current plan too since I have unlimited data.

If anyone knows any little life-hacks to getting a new Nexus at $300 or less, let me know!

Oh, I'm on Verizon. So, LTE please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trdsnow:
What phone do you have right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
U could always add a line. Get a hold of an old verizon flip phone that doesn't require data and put the new line on that. This way you always get revolving upgrades too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chbennett:
Getting an extra is not a bad plan, but the cost adds up eventually. And correct me if I'm wrong, but verizon is not doing the traditional new every two years updates anymore. I think your best plan is to wait until the year and a half marker (I know I get some discount at that point) or buy a phone full retail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
It's, what, $10 to add a line a month, dummyphone of course. $240 +

$300 = $540 still $110 below retail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
Done know where the 240 came from. I added a line and out the door I paid 300+ CA tax
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
Nm. Just realized you probably did 10x 12 for a 2 year contract. Yea, that's the thought process I had too. It'll basically be like getting a loan for the phone, without interest (:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Retail is $650, not $800. :D

Frankly dude, take it from someone that HATES contracts and doesn't do them, just save up some cash.

What's the ETF on your current device now? Sounds like it might be cheaper to pay the ETF on your current line, and sign a contract for a new line and get the phone for $299.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeppelinJ0:
The problem with getting another line is I'm currently on an individual plan paying about $80 a month.

Moving to a plan that I could add a line would put me at $130 a month... definitely not worth it when I'm already ready to fork over $300 for a phone.

I'm thinking best bet is getting lucky on eBay or Craigslist :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I think you can upgrade at the 20 month mark now actually. I know a buddy of mine that is a long time VZW customer is eligible for full upgrades @ 18 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeppelinJ0:
Verizon's site says "You may terminate service for any reason within 14 days of activation. If you purchased a wireless device at a promotional price at the time of activation, you must return it within the device return period to avoid being assessed an Early Termination Fee of $175, or $350 if you purchased an Advanced Device" so I'm assuming $350 to terminate.

Not only that but by making a new contract I'd lose my unlimited data, and I use a TON of data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blestsol:
If you get a new line from say amazon... You can just cancel the line within 14 days and keep the phone. Amazon will charge you 250 eventually for it though.

I just did it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Lol. And you did not read the fine print. It amazes me what people will or wont do to pay retail for a phone. And that is why american cellular service and prices are what they are.

Crazy world, ay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Ummmmm

LOL like the other person said, you better go back and read the fine print. That $250 is a seperate Amazon fee in addition to Verizon's ETF. Basically you just screwed yourself $350 Verizon Fee + $250 Amazon Fee = $600.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
So you paid for $600 no tax for your Rezound and are not on contract? That's not too bad. Saved $50 plus tax over getting it from Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
They may hook you up with an early upgrade. I went in ready to pay full retail as my contract was not up until November of next year. The guy asked me why I didn't want to upgrade, not sure why I was able to upgrade but I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thunderstruck!:
If you have unlimited data, don't do an ETF since they don't offer unlimited any more. I'm heading out to BB-they told me if i pay full retail I have 30 day return policy. I'll sell my TBolt by that time, and cover the balance with my Xmas bonus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blestsol:
Nah I paid 150 for it on contract and canceled the trial then payed amazon their 250 cancel fee to keep it.

Sent from a Rezound, crappie camera included.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Wait, you didn't have to pay the $350 ETF from Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blestsol:
No, I was still in the trial period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
I think there is an easier solution. Buy someone else's upgrade. Then move the phone to your account.

Actually, if you do via let's talk and you are willing to wait, I think they still have a 75 dollar off coupon and nexus upgrades start at 250 with them. So total cost of upgrade is 175. Kick few bucks to the persons who's upgrade you are using and you are still ahead of the game.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I would suggest find out what your ETF fee is first, because cancelling might be the way too go and pay the fee. You just have to be slick about keeping your number. You could even sell your old phone to try to cover the ETF.

So you might have to port your number to a carrier that does not have a contract and back again to VZW. VZW might do it for you if you are up front about it.

Adding a line would not work. I too have an individual line and switching to a family plans makes no sense.

An other option is to use a family members or friends upgrade. My next upgrade was not due for months. I just had them extend my sister's wireless contract by two years. I paid $300 for the nexus and just had it activated on my line.

It's no longer required that the new phone be activated on the new contract. So long as the contract is extended, you can activate the NG on any other wireless account so long as it has a voice and data plan on it.

These are the steps I did with my sister's line:

1) Get myself added on her line so she only has to make one call. Once I am on her line as an authorized user and have the secret password, I go to a cooperate store.

2) Grab a NG, give them my sister's password, and tell them I want to activate it later (this is similar to what people do when they want to gift a phone). Pay with your credit card. Leave the Store.

3) IF you already have a 4G sim from VZW, you can use a SIM cutter. They sell on Amazon for like $4. Noosy comes to mind. They also come with adapters they let you go from regular SIM (Droid Charge) to Micro SIM (NG). Cut the the SIM and place it in the NG phone. DONE.

4) If you don't have a SIM cutter (Me! At the time, I could not wait for Amazon) Leave the store and call customer support on a land line. Customer support is always smarter than in store people. In store people just want you to buy something more. Customer support doesn't sell anything.

5) Have customer support activate the Micro SIM and NG onto your account. IF YOU PUT THE MICROSIM IN THE PHONE BEFORE CALLING CUSTOMER SUPPORT, MY SISTER'S OLD PHONE WOULD HAVE DIED ON HER. Be very careful, and double check your numbers with customer service before it's activated. DONE.

6) If you have one of the SIM adapters from step 3, you can take your MicroSIM and use it in a Thunderbolt or Droid Charge. I would suggest you just sell your old phone and use that to fund your NG.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajwho:
I suggest not getting it if you can't afford it or want to pay the price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Can you just sell your your current phone to offset the cost of buying one outright even a little?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
As another user mentioned, add a 2nd dummy line for $9.99/month. It best if you do it around the 1 year mark of your main line so you can have a rotating line that's upgradable every year. You're basically paying $120 year for the ability to get a new phone every year. Its great for power users like most of us here on XDA.

$120/year is a decent price to pay for getting a new phone yearly without paying retail. You can then sell your "slightly" used old phone for close to the cost of the newer on-contract phone or if you need to, justify the extra $120 for the new line with the old phone ya sold... win-win (=

It really comes down to the user. I would never keep a phone for 2 years (20 months) so it's worth it to me. Others, like a friend at work, just now got the GN after having the OG Droid for 22 months. (yuck).
