I haven't picked the GN yet but definitely thinking about it. I'm not understanding the cwm on the GN. I am coming from the Droid incredible and when i rooted it I could automatically get in the cwm on it. But I'm seeing that you have to flash the cwm for the GN. How will I go about doin that. Thanks. Sorry for the dumb A** question. Lol. But if i do get this phone I will be very new to it. I understand everything about the cwm and how it works but i didn't understand having to flash it on the GN. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmorton18:
If I recall correctly I installed CWM through rom manager. To keep it from getting overwritten each boot I had to use root explorer to rename the stock recovery file and that was it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snapper915:
Oh ok. So u didn't have to flash it on your GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
If you want CWM you will have to flash it, either through Fastboot or ROM Manager. Likely on your Incredible the root process you used also flashed CWM for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snapper915:
Ayyhh. I got cha. The nexus u have to do it yourself. Lol. I didn't knw that. Hopefully it isn't to hard. Cause I definitely don't want to mess anything up. Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Desi130312:
A while back my phone started to freeze up and I would have to battery pulls everytime. And once i turn it back on, in a matter of seconds, it freezes up again causing another battery pull. I probably had to do 30-40 battery pulls. This all happened so randomly too.

I tried to flash another rom ( BinDroid ) and when I did, it said installation aborted.Same with the full wipe. Then I flashed again and it worked but when it booted it went to the lock screen and everything but when I pulled the ring, it froze again. And it kept on doing that too. I tried to flash Leedroids then but it said Error in formatting system. Then Installation aborted. Then itll say something like " E:recovery/cache/last_log" <--- not correct but something like that, everytime I flash something itll say that.

I dont know what to do anymore. Please someone help. Thank you
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Install the factory RUU and see what happens. See how everything works before you start adding apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Have you tried a new sd card. If an installation fails and then works with the same zip, it would seem the sd card could be causing issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Desi130312:
Ill see what I can do. Thank you for the help guys.

Hi, something like that happened to me and ended up replacing the phone as it was still under warranty (I needed to unroot it).

Most likely was an emmc issue, see my post here:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mac2612:
So I just got a View, and for the most part it seems to be a well-crafted device. But, when I press on the front side of the plastic piece on the bottom (right above the charging port), it makes like a cracking noise, like the plastic doesn't fit right. Does anyone else have this? I'm trying to decide whether it's major enough to try to send in for warranty/RMA, especially since I took the OTA to HC and now want to HTC unlock to flash back and do S-Off for some rom action, which I think would void the warranty :-/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
Mine is very solid, no cracking at all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PapaDocta:
just got mine today and it does have that cracking noise ..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mac2612:
Hmm okay....well so far is 50/50 lol so maybe its common. I noticed that the plastic piece on the bottom can be slid forward and lifted off the charge port, and the noise seems to be coming from the gap between the screen border and the plastic piece over the charge port. So, maybe I'll try putting something in the gap to see if it stops. I feel stupid doing a warranty claim for something so trivial.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] berbecverde:
no cracking here, but i got something i do not like.

the screen is not fitted correctly on the lower side of the device.

It is not in line with the rest of the metal part, in fact is aprox 1 mm above it.

If you look at it you may not see it but if you swype your finger you can feel the edge of the glass.:(

But otherwise it is well built device.

I do not think i am going to try to replace it(or maybe i will:confused:).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chefdave12118:

Lol my View has that too! Click click click
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] po96od:
Also afflicted with the click. Kind of annoying bit of cheapness/shodiness on an otherwise very solid device. Wondering if a silicone cover would help mask it...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gam3r 4 Life:
I have something similar but it was on the top camera cover. Where it wraps around directly under the power button it didnt seal right, and there was a gap that irritated me. After trying to fix it with no luck I ended up sending it back to amazon and bought another. New one perfect.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Killer Turtle:
MY phone has done this twice now. The screen with flip itself and look like I'm looking at the phone in a mirror. The buttons, words, icons are all mirrored but I still have to tap in the normal spot to get them to work.

I have to pull the battery to get it fixed. Anyone else have this happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSkylla:
I've had it happen once as well, don't know what caused it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lattisimo:
Some rom devs have identified the issue is with the screen orientation transition effects.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sponger1:
This worked for me. No one has provided any feedback as to whether it working for them or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It is the ICS rotation animation causing it. Sometimes you can reproduce it if you lock the screen in landscape mode I believe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I've had this happen to me a couple of times.

I never had to pull the battery to fix it though... All I had to do was turn the phone to a different orientation, and then turn it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mimis_69:
Whenever I had that issue I just tilted my phone sideways and it fixed it. Did you try putting it in landscape mode after the issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Killer Turtle:
I tried everything, it would even rotate mirrored. If it happens again, I'll try stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
When it happens to mine I just unlock it and turn it to the side then back up, goes back to normal after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qwerty12601:
Originally I was only able to get out of it by pulling the battery. If you use a lock pattern it doesn't respond correctly to touch inputs.

I went to take a screen shot of the screen while it was upside down/mirrored, and when it shot it the screen went back to normal. I was able to unlock the phone. Seems like an easy enough workaround till the problem is resolved.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teddat:
Comparing my brother's gsm with my cdma galaxy nexus, I've noticed a few things.

I feel like the gsm model has a slight bit higher tolerances in fit and finish. the volume button is the same as the power button snug, doesn't wiggle and firm to the touch.

The cdma one has slightly larger cutouts of the volume button so there's some play and wiggle room. This bugs me slightly as it rattles a bit when the phone vibrates.

Another thing I noticed is the touch vibrate on the on screen keyboard or even the on screen home/back/task buttons aren't as strong as the vibrate motor on the gsm. feels dampened and not as crisp. If i had to guess, feels like 50% of the amount of feel in the gsm.

Other than that. besides the slightly thicker phone .5mm ish it feels about the same in the pocket and weight. only if you hold both side by side will you notice the slightly thicker back of the cdma

anyone else have similar comments to add or share?

does your CDMA volume keys rattle? or wiggle? does your vibrate feel almost unnoticeable when you type or unlock?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhinck1414:
my cdma volume rocker does move but I do not notice a rattle when vibrate is active.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
My phone is on vibrate 24/7. Never hear a rattle. Shouldn't assume anomalies within the manufacturing process are consistent with every device. If it bugs you that much, maybe you could exchange. Although I'm not sure they will accept "wiggly volume rocker" as a defect :-)

Edit: in response to above, mine doesn't even move.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siphyn:
I'm on my second cdma galaxy nexus. The first one I exchanged due to the bad signal issue, which wasn't really the case as we now all know due to these phones showing bars based on data and not 1x. Anyway, my first nexus had a loose volume rocker and had really obvious verticle banding at lower brightness levels. The replacement one I got has a solid volume rocker with no movement, and I've noticed that the screen has little to no verticle banding on low brightness levels. I'm guessing the first batch of cdma nexus phones had some fitting issues.

Beamed from my SCH-i515
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teddat:
I guess there are manufacturing tolerances in batches. grr

its not a big bother if it just wiggled. even the iphone 4s volume wiggled alittle. the annoying part is the rattling when the vibrate comes on.

I'll have to exchange. yes, minor.. but its a phone i have to live with for 2years.

thanks for the responses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Barlow:
My volume buttons don't feel loose at all. But I do hear a rattle, I always thought it was the extended battery cover and my table or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
I got to play with my sister in-law's LTE Nexus over the break and I actually liked that it was a bit heavier and thicker. I find the GN is a bit less comfortable in my hand compared to the NS. If there is an extended battery version for the GSM Nexus I will probably get it.

[HTC EVO 3D] LKMR.PREZ:
Which ics Rom should I go with? Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
I would go with Decks ROM for now since it has working battery stats. I'm sticking with Joels until he updates his ROM. .
[HTC EVO 3D] shalkith:
I'm using Joelz rom currently and It's great for me. I do wish battery stats worked.

@Demo Does hardware accel work on Decks rom? is it really choppy?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
There is a way to fix the battery stats in Joel's ROM but honestly I had no idea what they were talking about when Joelz gave the instructions. ill just wait until he updates it...

and idk if it HWA works or not but Joel's Rom felt smoother IMO.
[HTC EVO 3D] AFuddyDuddy:
There was a flashable fix posted for the battery, and there is a workaround fro the redbox around here somewhere..... In JoelZ thread.

Page 93 I think?

I ran it for a day... Browsing rendering kills it for me though. I ahven't seen a fix for it yet.

Get the browser fixed I'd almost run it as a daily. Get that and the camera fixed and I would.

I'm looking into cooking some stuff too.... fun stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Preludrew Rom he post that **** on Twitter all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] LKMR.PREZ:
Thanks guys, so for the most part I'm hearing joelz cuz it's smoother?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Have you tried the About:debug trick for the browser?

Joelz is a bit smoother but it has less features compared to Drews and Decks Roms. Joelz update will hopefully fix that and add some stability for some apps.

Where can I find drews? I haven't seen it in here.

If so how do i do it :confused:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmmcd:
I use a program called Freemake (www.freemake.com). It is very easy. This program has a bunch of options of what format to rip it to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Another good free program is called handbrake. Search the forums; some people here figured out the best settings for the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RGardner:
+1 on Handbrake.

Cheer's for the replies, so do i need to RIP the dvd to my laptop first? if so how do i do that?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SaneinOne:
Yes, using one of the above mentioned or other app to rip to PC and then copy over to tab via USB mass storage mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
No offense intended here, but this is the type of question that has been asked and answered thousands if not hundreds of thousands of times on the internet over the years. This is really one of those times that you should google before you ask a question, or at least download the suggested programs and just try to figure it out. If you're smart enough to find XDA, you're smart enough to find this answer on your own.

Please don't take this as a flame. That's not the intention.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stuckinabox:
I think you'll need to use some extra software in combination with handbrake as it does not allow you to rip protected dvds afaik.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] general1977:
It will once you have found the file libdvdcss.dll or livdvdcss-2.dll on the internet and copy it into the handbrake directory. ;) The filename in the directory has to be libdvdcss.dll. So you might have to rename your finding.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] glassjosh:
I second the DVDFab Decrypter! The paid version will rip to any format and the HD version will rip Bluray too! And its a multithreaded application so the more CPU cores you have, the better the better the performance(in general of course)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RGardner:
DVD43 works for this. Though... I have to remember disable it when connecting my phone to the USB or it causes a mem-dump/BSD on my laptop.

My setup is exactly like this. Works fine for me, given that I input the correct profile. Usually takes 3-4 hours to complete. I use BS player and it works very well

B = Wifi

C = ?

D = GSM Network

E = ?

Only answer if you are really damn sure... No guesses... :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I am interested in this as well.

I can confirm B.

My wifi disappeared,so I lifted the two connectors and it was restored.

EDIT:

I just checked my phone.

I haven't got an A :confused:

:)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
That 'A' is still controversial... It comes in T-MoUS Sensations... Not present in European and XE Sensation...

Some say it's 4G, but then i read that guys with T-Mob using XE Sensation backcover getting 4G signals without any problems.. So it's not 4G ..:-/
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Anyone? A million people having Sensation don't know what those antenna are for?
[HTC Sensation] tlloyd87:
Ha, well that explains what the mysterious bump is on the inside of my back cover - it's another thing that would have been painted yellow if my phone had been shipped to a different part of the world!

A person makes a pretty good aerial, so try taking the back off and touching each contact on the phone in turn with your finger to see which radio's signal comes back.

"A" is clearly for a radio which has no purpose in the UK, or perhaps for one which can share its aerial with another radio... Could it be a different frequency thing, like an optimised antenna for a different GSM band or even for CDMA if the Sensation has a version that supports it? Or it could still be for 4G; just because you read something somewhere doesn't mean it's true.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I can personally confirm that the extra antenna is not 4G. I bought a white XE cover and have noticed zero reception problems in WiFi, 2G/3G/4G, and GPS.
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
See this PDF attachment by me, it's from the FCC filing. All the antennas are labeled.

[HTC Sensation] tlloyd87:
Interesting... although I'm lacking the gps antenna but still have gps. What does 'diversity' antenna mean?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
just like tlloyd87 said, i m also lacking this antenna A in my back cover and i have GPS fully functional...

That D i agree is GSM network, but i can't say exactly if it's only one sided reception only coz i applied aluminum foil to only D and my network reception showed up and i dialed a number and got connected without any issues..

When i touched E alone, i had no reception at all..

I read that thread but it's not coinciding with facts... That PDF marks GPS wrong too...
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
One theory is that the photo from the filing actually shows the antennas switched (GPS for Diversity) meaning you still get GPS, but are missing the diversity antenna - IE - a Sensation 4G has diversity and GPS, a Sensation XE (and apparently some international phones) only have GPS.

I forgot about this when I posted, I have edited my above post. This has all been covered many times, you could search and read about it all.

The diversity antenna was described as being a "booster antenna" to try and improve reception and supposedly isn't used at all times. People who have put different back covers on without it seem to report no loss in signal strength, so maybe it's not used at all?

~T.J.
[HTC Sensation] tlloyd87:
Just looked it up on Wikipedia, apparently a Diversity antenna is to mitigate interference caused by the radio signal bouncing off obstacles between the transmitter and receiver. Several aerials receiving the same signal means at least one of them should get something usable. I believe 802.11n wireless uses this principle.

Perhaps a diversity antenna isn't necessary for correct operation, but can improve reception where fitted?
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Correct. MIMO (multi in, multi out) technology is the same concept/same thing. No one is just sure how often it's used, or if it's used at all currently.

Thanks for ur help :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SallyC:
For each option you need to add all the costs including any monthly fee and deductible. Then ask yourself if you think it likely you'll need to file a claim and how much it would cost you to buy your phone at whatever age it will then be used if you don't have insurance. Remember too how close you might be to your next upgrade. No one can make that risk assessment like you.

I like ST but the price I see quoted for 2y on an Android phone is $124 and there is a $99 deductible. That's a better deal than I figured from VZW (after including monthly fees and deductible) but for me, it's not worth it. I have a case and rarely break anything. It could happen, but unless it happens pretty soon into a new contract, I'd be better off to get a used or cheap replacement until my next contract.

But to each his own.
