[TouchPad General] BigBadWolf84:
Thats what I would do myself. If it's gonna crack again why send it back and be without it? Tape for me. :)
[TouchPad General] Josh of Los Angeles:
I have had my 32g in a case since day one and not had any issues with cracking(and my 2 year old seems to think this is her tablet), though I know 2 different people with the 16g that had cracking issues. Both of them had excellent experiences with HP also.

I have to wonder how long that gracious customer service is going to last now...
[TouchPad General] K-mart Shopper:
I received my touchpad a couple weeks after the firesale (if I remember right), and it eventually developed a crack by one of the speakers. I'm talking about just a few weeks ago. If it pulls free I will just use superglue to fix it.

I can imagine HP's fix is simply to put a new housing on the unit, that will eventually end up cracking again. Mine's been in the HP case since I started using it, so it's not like taking care of it will prevent the crack, or cracks.
[TouchPad General] siralsmooth:
My Touchpad developed a crack on day 3, while my roommates touchpad is flawless. Both ordered at the same time too. I handled it so carefully that i was pretty ticked when I seen the crack. Dealt with it until wednesday when my usb port quit, which also has a crack by it. Only downfall is I can't remove android fully, still has moboot, and webos won't accept my credentials to log in.
[TouchPad General] UCLAKoolman:
Both of my 32gb touchpads developed speaker cracks. The first was in the hp folio case the day I bought it. The second had a skinomi techskin installed since day one and still developed a crack. The skin is holding it in place, but if it gets worse ill use some good epoxy.

I love my touchpad, but this design was half baked. I'm a grad student and baby all of my gadgets (can't afford to buy more right now!), so I have no idea what pressures caused the cracks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kolyan:
Nice step up I think considering I sold HD2 for more then I paid for G2x. So far I like the phone, IPS panel is much better then LCD on HD2, speakerphone is better, and camera as well. Its also dual core and has Tagra GPU....so I recommend the switch if anyone is interested in G2x
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] katalin_2003:
Is LG optimus 2x p990 the EU version or completely different?

Congrats on your purchase, traitor :D j/k

have no idea, but I think they are pretty much the same
[Fascinate General] bfvogel:
So I was mucking about installing ICS on my fascinate and I've managed to thoroughly brick the device. It will not power on in any form from my perspective. No Download mode, no recovery nothing.

The steps that I took to get myself here

Installed Teamhacksung ICS Build 2 (Everything was wokring fine except calenders so I had to do a reinstall)

Did a Full wipe of all mount point via CWR and fresh reinstall including Google Apps v.5.

Booted fine went through initial setup.

Downloaded Glitch kernel 14 preview 2 for the i9000 ( Yes I know in retrospect it is the obvious wrong kernel )

Flashed Wrong kernel via CWR

Booted phone ( It started up just fine. But I had no Wifi and no 3G not panel buttons only physical worked. This is when I looked at the kernel filename again and discovered my mistake.)

Booted to CWR via power button menu

CWR was modified along with th glitch kernel install. ( It is unable to mount sdcard of any local resource.

I figure okay my bad lets odin

I put the phone in download mode

I flash the atlas_2.2.pit and the CWM4 tar designed to work with CM7 with the following options.

----Odin 1.83

Re-partition

F Reset Time

Atlas_2,2.pit in PIT section

CWM4_for_cm7.tar in PDA Section

-----

Flash is successful I power down phone by pulling battery and unpluging from usb

I put the battery back in to boot into recovery and the phone will not power on.

It will not enter download mode via volume-down method or via 301k jig

This phone is dead as far as I'm concerned.

Any help / ideas are appreciated.
[Fascinate General] mentose457:
I would try a new cable. If that doesnt work i think your only option is the Unbrickable mod.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288093&highlight=unbrickable+mod
[Fascinate General] hesh.monster:
Not that it will help but I believe your mistake was in using the pit file without flashing a rom. You repartitioned your device and then did not install an os essentialy.

Edit: you should also pull the battery while flashing with Odin.

On a possibly helpful note, have you tried connecting to Odin since then. I know on the Charge people have reported entering download mode but having no visual conformation of it (ie: blank screen but Odin recognizes the phone). Might be worth a shot.

We all make mistakes, I hard bricked my wifes Charge because I keep all my Odin files together, clicked through to quickly and ended up flashing stock i500 files to it instead of i510 files.../facepalm
[Fascinate General] bfvogel:
Ya I've tried connecting to Odin even though not visual representation for Download Mode is there. The Fascinates do that as well from time to time. The thing that gets me is that even if the partition structure is totally hosed the phone "should" be able to get into download mode. I disassembled it last night and will be attempting the Unbrickable mod once a new tip comes for my soldering iron.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
I have no clue why you used Odin and repartition v2.2 pit without flashing a stock ROM. where you got the idea to flash a cwm file instead of a .tar ROM file is beyond me.

Now that i have given you some scolding. unless one of fascinates geniuses comes to your rescue. You're only option is to use unbrickable mod on you're phone. And you best follow directions on that mod a lot better than you have on this past endeavor. It does involve soldering your processor pins, so i wish you luck.
[Fascinate General] Tone_Capone:
Have you tried making/buying a jig to trick the phone into Download Mode.

I found these 2 threads:

Jig 1

&

Jig 2

I found these on the captivate forums when I needed it and it works pretty well, but buying one is much easier.

If you arent familiar with what I'm talking about, putting 301k of resistance on the 4 & 5 pins on our phones will put the phone in Download mode, which is what a jig will do for you.

They are also sold on Ebay, and on MobileTech Videos.

Hope this helps!
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Flashing with the battery in is no different than flashing with it out really. The reason all Fascinate tutorials say to flash with the battery out is to prevent recovery from getting over-written should the phone reset and boot normally after flashing.

Also, I would say try a download mode jig. Since you flashed the i9000 kernel, it could be doing something odd that a Fascinate wouldn't normally do. If it was a MTD i9000 kernel, hopefully it didn't re-partition and wipe out or corrupt the bootloader/secondary bootloader.
[Fascinate General] hesh.monster:
I am aware of that, just saying it doesn't hurt to follow directions.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenna728:
Hi, a friend brought his USC Galaxy Tab over... I rooted and downloaded Rom Manager but it only has options for Verizon/ATT and T-Mobile. Would it hurt to flash Verizon recovery and ROMS? Thanks

Sent from my Evo 3D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefinancemaster:
no love?

I have the exact same question. I have the US Cellular version at work, and the old gingerbread sucks. I have AOKP ICS on my Droid X and it's so hard to use the old stock gingerbread on the tablet now. I see they have CM9 ports and AOKP ports for the Verizon and Sprint models. I only use the wifi, and if it was my personal tablet I would just try it!

[HTC EVO 3D] Castellano2:
Hey guys, I am using Leedroid ROM v.5 and I want to know which kernel is the best for battery life, performance, beats audio and stability? I own kernels from Lee and from Chad as well included the "forbidden" ones. What do u prefer? I dont know the difference..
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
im gonna be 100% truthful, even though it is not to my benefit to be..

my source is public how, and i offer features no one ever has in the past.

people like leedroid and others are prolly already making use of these features into their kernels, such as ics/sense 3.5 hw acceleration and better sound drivers what include native HTC 2way call record...

i have not commited HBR bluetooth or usb hostmode or other mods yet, since my previous ones are being used, and no one is giving credit.

so, since others are using my work as well as theirs... its basicly up to who you want to use...

the more commits i make, i know the more i will be kanged. nothing i commited yet is anything major - just a base, updates, and minor changes, and porting drivers from 1 device to another. my future modifications involve serious time and effort, and as of now with the kanging going on, im not 100% sure i will ever commit those for release here on XDA.

sorry if i sound like an ass - but the previous drama caused by what people "assumed" i did cost me a lot of time and money. and now others are doing the same i was accused of, but i got screen shots to prove it...

all i want is everyone to do what they expect others to do... -- is this asking to much?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rizzo19:
Yea I'm looking for a good ics kernel. Guess I'll wait til Chad drops his.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Yeah, that's ****ed up Chad.

Chad's kernel for the win.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
to be clear... from what i can see - leedroid seems to be giving proper credit.

the 2 people who had an exact copy of my GIT on github with NO reference to me or my git had pulled their repos last night.
[HTC EVO 3D] Castellano2:
I believe Chad is better but when I am using ROM from Lee.. Maybe his kernel would be more stable on his own ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] jrocc28:
Chad man its a shame what's been goin on lately, I've been flashing every single one of your kernels and only your kernels since I noticed u back in September. Every kernel release has improved my experience with this device, and frankly u are the only kernel dev I follow and respect. The lazy half ass so called devs that kanged your source are worthless to me and a whole lot of others who follow u and your work. They know who they are and its only obvious who they are, IMPOSTERS! Instead of a thanks button on the bottom of their posts they should implement a f**k off button, they would then have thousands of middle fingers they could look at each time they log in. Keep up the good work Chad. Without people like u Chad them haters wouldn't have anyone to envy and hate on and bite.
[HTC EVO 3D] drZuheir:
chad thanks for the great work for real... i have tried many urs is most stable.. and sure if someone is using ur source will be as well... but thanks for being open and clear.... go man.. cant wait to try urs on ice cream... chad are u going to make any work for galaxy S3 when it comes.... it will be a killer... thanks again for all ur work
[HTC EVO 3D] hads:
Thanks again for all your work Chad. I flashed your kernel last night and it's very stable with no issues. I used Clockwork Recovery to flash because I didn't have TWRP installed. Does anyone know if I should have any issues or does this not really matter?
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMC1192:
Hey Chad does your kernel have any adverse affects on OG Evo 4G or would you say they are more a EVO 3D kernel...sorry if this is a dumb question but after all I am a noob
[HTC EVO 3D] mugetsu666:
Chad my man I gotta say without a doubt u r the kernel king and for those kangers out there.... F@#k off and get a life. The rom I run has always had ur kernels and always been stable. No random reboots or anything. I am soooo glad ur back an glad I still have a few of ur older rls. Thanks bro

+1 couldn't have said it better
[HTC EVO 3D] binaryhabit:
I've just come in fresh, been here at XDA for only a few days and so I've missed most of this story. But, what is adamant is the politics of this entire industry.

Corporations create industry, that's what they're designed to do. But, when they also attempt to govern outside their market, it's the restrictions imposed that may unwittingly enforce the like of scavenger type behavior. Not only with developers, but down to the end user and all in between.

Whatever you determine to be 'Open Source', in any of the many flavours out there, it'll remain as the prime victim; within its own industry, other industries, marketing, and aggressive closed source realms. The balance can only go to members of the bar association whom happily trump first place in the share of cash.

So, you'll have kanged devs, pirates, believers, non-believers, and all the like.

But, with all the politics, ramblings, hostility and time off, it can only make one fear the resilience of what actual leading talents remain.

...so, as quoted above...

WTF GAF GOI and game on!

:: No offense to lawyers, just sticks and stones.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
binaryhabit> That is possibly one of the hardest posts of which I've ever tried to make sense. lol.

To everyone else> What's with the hate of Kang's? As long as chad is getting his representation for his work in those kangs, there isn't a problem. If anyone does not acknowledge the hard work of others when they use there work.. then it should be flagged up. There is no need to start suddenly having a go, and trying to take sides.

Chad does a lot of good work, congratulate him and support him, and point out where others should be acknowledging his work if they have used it.

This all doesn't help answer the OP's questin however.

To me, the answer is just try the ROM's out, and see which works best for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] binaryhabit:
A recognized developer with grave concerns about their code not being correctly authored, thereby "kanged", by other developers in their own projects; all the while being the only accused of breaking these license agreements.

Chad Goodman had made their comment public and I simply decided to comment on that.

If your understanding is incomprehensive of what I said, then I can only surmise your own bias.

Because, I simply agreed with the comment, not the author in their entirety; as I simply don't have the full details.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
You got hatemail for uploading that ruu? Wow, what a bunch of babies.
[HTC EVO 3D] binaryhabit:
First off, I'd like to thank Chad for publicly expressing these concerns to the broader community without apprehension.

Second, I'm surprised there's barely a reply.

I'll keep this rant brief:

The user Chad Goodman may by (U.S.A x;x.x) freely choose to mediate lawful concerns held accused by any responsible source of medium whereby both parties are bound by (U.S.A x;x.x) and in trust of an agreement on (date) of the stipulated terms and conditions of the legally bound U.S.A. based hosting authority.

The user Chad Goodman may warrant their concerns without the fear of repression by the owners, operators, or parties of the hosting authority, or by fear of other members within its registrar, so long as Chad is in compliance of (U.S.A x;x.x) and the terms and conditions of the hosting authority, all of whom are legally responsible and bound by (U.S.A x:x.x).

Basically, to alienate any person of this right brings a good case of discrimination and defamation in itself. There is also a potential case of intentional interference with a prospective business because of the closed source code that obviously marketed, and possibly funds, the developers work and any related bodies of interest, or associates.

Defamation is costly($300k min) and specifically reserved for the wealthy elite, but this case may open with intentional interference.

GPL is not an excuse for subversion.

Just add it to the talent pool... and unfortunately say it all farewell.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigjack216:
Chad I knew from the og evo forum you were having problems I remember when your kernel was first taken Down from that forum but I did not know it went to this extent I am am avid user of your kernels even when I had my og EVO and couldn't get it to work I still tried finding a Rom it would work with. But then I came to the shooter and seen your work was back and was happy as ever and still glad that you have stayed imho you are the best kernel dev xda has and you deserve the credit but if this continues I don't blame you for leaving but I wish you luck man thank you for being good to us.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eternity-3D:
very well said man....we always appreciate ppl such as yourself
[HTC EVO 3D] bigjack216:
Thanks man I mean without the devs there wouldn't be anything and there are a select few who are loyal to the people who use there Roms/kernels. I'm really interested in this kind of stuff and wanted to actually learn how to develop my own and eventually make a public release but after seeing what chad is going through it makes me think twice......some people just make me sick
[HTC EVO 3D] Chainfire:
Closed, for obvious reasons.

I'm not going to respond in-depth, but I do want to point out to those blindly believing all that chad.goodman says, he did himself just four days ago (obviously) falsely accuse another well-known developer of violating the GPL. Not only to us moderators, but also in an RD-only thread, as well as trolling in full-public threads about it.

Just saying.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kupo5131:
I'm sure I saw someone say they have locked the stock launcher in memory by editing the build props, but i can't for the life of me find that post.

I tried V6 Supercharged but either I couldn't use it or it doesn't work. Is there anyway to lock it?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Add this line to the build.prop

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

:p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Locking it to memory, is that the same thing as "freezing" it using Titanium Backup? If not what does locking it to memory do?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
It 'locks' it into RAM. These means that Android's low memory task killer function will not kill the home launcher.

Have you ever played an intensive game, or hopped between applications using a lot of RAM and then pressed the home key and watched as the homescreen has to be loaded again? Icons slowly appearing, widgets loading and the homescreen sluggish until the system clears enough space in the ram for it to sit comfortably again.

This build prop fix THEORETICALLY fixes this issue by not allowing the allocated ram for the launcher to be cleared for another application.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Oh wow that would be awesome! I hate when i hit the home button and my clock widget part of it is were its suppose to be and the other part is towards the bottom and half off the screen untill it finishes loading. Or my icons are all little green droid shopping bags.... lol

would there be a way to modify the string to work with GO Launcher instead of the stock home launcher?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
I assume it would apply to whatever is set as the default launcher so the launcher used is irrelevant.

Go Ex Launcher is such a god damn annoying pile of crap to lock into memory. I've tried using build prop tweaks, using the built in "lock to memory" feature in it, I've even v6 supercharged my r800i to try and "bulletproof" or "hard-to-kill" it.

The supercharge is the only semi-consistent way I have found.

It only works sometimes. The others work 5% of the time for me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It will lock what ever launcher is your default into memory :p

Have you tried Ram Manager in the market? Its awesome :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
Autokiller Memory Optimizer is much better imo
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I've tried both, and find Ram Manager to be superior. But ymmv :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
I'm probably just a sucker for the nicer ui tbh :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
I was under the impression that Ram managers of any sort were bad news past the Droid1 era. They interfere with androids own task killer and actually cause a loss in battery life overall.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
Task killers are bad news, yes. These, however, edit Androids default minfree values, giving more strict or liberal handling of tasks using Androids own 'task killer'.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
+1 What he said :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommoose:
What values would you recommend for ram manager
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I use the "balanced more multitasking" profile for day to day, and the "hard gaming" profile for playing games.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
The biggest selling point so far would be the camera quality.. if the camera is important to you, the amaze is the phone for you. Besides the phone being quite snappy(I'm coming from a Samsung galaxy s), and some other notable perks.. the camera really is high quality. It focuses faster, captures much higher quality than my last 5mp phone did.. and the phone overall does everything you could expect a phone to do.

I am happy with the amaze. I'm not a heavy user, and if you are I would say buy a spare battery.. but otherwise I would say this is a great device to upgrade to. I did a fair amount of research, and I would say this phone is a big upgrade from any other phone tmobile has to offer. Buy it, there is no good reason I can find not to.

Not the best picture in the world, but here is an example of the quality you can get with the built in panoramic pictures.. normal and hdr are even better, but for the quality of panoramic pictures from stock app to be this good.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/IMAG0008.jpg
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikecristancho:
Seconded... HTC is overall better quality.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Third the camera post the camera is amazing I miss my amaze's camera I have a galaxy s 2 now and its nowhere near as good as the amaze. in low light you might as well have a VGA camera with this gs2 the amaze really performed well. The battery life was great on my part coming from the sensation it was better I think people expect too much out of large touchscreen devices when it comes to battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I agree.. with juice defender I got 21 hours out of the battery yesterday. Having it only allow data every 15 minutes with screen off and 4g with screen on didn't inconvenience me at all.. today I'm going to see how long it lasts without juice defender.. and I just got my spare batteries so it doesn't really matter anymore anyways.

Overall, I'm very happy with this phone.
