[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I would agree with this, but sammobile also claimed they talked to somebody who sat down with Samsung execs a while ago; this "source" said the sgs3 wouldn't be skinned and would look more like aosp...another claim I'm hesitant to believe. I don't see Samsung scrapping the touchwiz UI either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
See now this is believable. I can totally see them wanting to improve their Bada line.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Let me ask around... There's a good chance this could be a variation that Samsung is working on. Like bada.
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
I am really starting to dislike the Android Market lately, with the exception of games..... 9 of the last 10 apps i have paid for from the market, didnt work. I know its really not the Markets fault, but i have never felt so ripped off in my life. All these "Devs" creating these apps and charging people, and the **** doesnt even work right. It feels like they dont even care, they are just wanting to make a quick few bucks. Hell i even bought a app from a BIG name Dev, all the "PRO" features didnt work. sorry about the rant, but its really starting to piss me off!..... lol ( i will leave the name of the Dev and the app annonymous for now, to give him time to reply to my emails, if i get no reply i will share the name with you all, maybe on a forum with such a community as ours, he will get the point, and do something about it)
[Xperia Play General] 3dawg:
I've had a complete opposite experience to you since first using the android market in 2010. Devs are amazing and respond to emails and requests. Applications work 95% of the time.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
You do get 15 minutes to test the app in which time you can easily get a full refund. I know it's not a lot of time to thoroughly test, but it helps
[Xperia Play General] xrishox:
same, i've had nothing but good experiances with the market place. make sure you read the comments and see that its popular before you buy it.
[Xperia Play General] 3dawg:
Admitedly, I preferred when it was a 24 hour trial period. Android market was superb back then :P

15 minutes is usually more than enough. It's only not ok when you buy a game that requires a huge download after installing it. Though those games usually have a check on first opening that checks compatibility. Not perfect but better than leading you on with a 30 minute download and then finding out that your phone is not compatible :P

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Best advice here.

READ THE COMMENTS.
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
Im just that guy, if it can go wrong it will!.... lol I know about the 15 minute thing, but like you said by the time you realize it doesnt fully work, its usually too late. espescially when it does something like "Please Wait.... installing or changing blah blah" for 8 of those minutes.... lol
[Xperia Play General] 3dawg:
Just do your research on the application running on your phone. Reading the comments is usually a great start. People frequently say things like "app is amazing on my xperia play" or "F**k you dev you suck l3rn to c0ad. Xperia play"
[Xperia Play General] s1l3nt:
Sometimes you don't even what to expect in the future if a dev just quits on updating his apps or it gets removed from the market.
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
Yeah, I use a lot of this particular devs other apps, thats what made me decide to finally go pro with one, i had the no pro and loved it, and the one thing i wanted from the pro version i cant get to work. oh, well the rest will come in handy if i ever decide to unlock BL, but then again i will run into the license issue with the app if i put it on a custom rom, but im sure the dev has work arounds for that already.

EDIT - I feel like an a**hole... after a data/cache wipe in CWM and a nandroid recover, the app is for the most part working now.
[Xperia Play General] GDSH:
This happened with my HTC XL I i bought 19 games in the 10p sale (uk currency) one in which was a game the market charged me then installed opened 6 games they all said this app is now being uninstalled talked to the Dev he said he recived no payment

wtf.....

and plus devs really only care about there income beacause of debt in their countries.
[Xperia Play General] AtomicKoala:
Whaaat? If I was making money, I would be doing it to buy things and keep myself alive, not to play of Ireland or The European Union's debts.
[Xperia Play General] spikey68:
Why don't you install app, titanium backup then remove app? After you install again just turn off its updates and net connection via ur app manager. Try it longer then buy it.
[Xperia Play General] Growling Clover:
I rarely buy apps that don't have a demo, and when I do they work fine.

Always read the comments before committing to buy anything. And when you do buy, try quickly then you have that 15 min window to refund (which I think iTunes doesn't have).

I've only ever had one problem with a paid app where an update messed it up. I contacted the developer and he sent me the apk of the previous version.

Personally I'm happy with the devs on android, one had nothing but great service

brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
I finaly got a reply from the dev, all he really said is it was recently updated, try installing the update, but i bought it after the update so its already the updated one, then he said, they wil be continuosly updating it so, basically just suck it up and when it works it works, if not too bad. (not exactly in those words, but thats the impression i got) So anyways, i figured out why it wasnt working on my own though, I had a theme that was using icons other than stock ones, so when the app was replacing icons, it was replacing the stock ones, not the ones the system was actually using. So i ended up, reverting back to stock ROM, then using UOT and creating my whole own them.... and it was FREE! Nowi have my cool ass purple theme.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaatisu84:
Question to anyone with a Docomo arc and custom rom.

I recently unlocked my bootloader, got CM7.2 and Doomkernel and all that goodness. But now my phone is not compatible with DoCoMo's email service app (SP Mode Mail) - so it won't come up in searches and when I do find it is say it cannot install.

I am assuming that because CM7.2 is based on android 2.3.7 - when the usual stock in Japan is 2.3.4

Anyway - tried the method of editing build.prop to trick the market into thinking my phone is different, but that still did not work.

Any help would be grateful. Cheers!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimmoF:
I know this is an old post but you can just copy it off another phone or back it up before you put on the new rom and sideload it, it works fine.

Not too sure about the Bands but assume it will work in USA.
[HTC Radar] weezedog:
The bands are not the same, you will not get 3G/faux 4G on t-mobile in the US with a gray European Radar as it supports HSDPA 900 / 2100 not HSDPA 1700 / 2100.

AT&T 3G works on the 850/1900 UMTS/HSDPA range so I don't think you would get 3G/4G with AT&T either, just 2G.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrielui:
I have been seeing posts saying that it is still S-ON after unlocked with HTCDev, is that true? And does the version of HBoot maters?

If it is still S-ON, may I ask, can I

Root the device

Flash recovery

Flash kernel

overclock

and Flash ROM

with S-ON?

I really want to help with my friend's Buzz.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzajess:
#1 yes it does leave S-on but you are allowed to root your phone and from there you can install clockwork rom managar and flash clockwork recover and then you can install roms etc.

#2 Yes you will need to change the hboot, but they will prvide it in the instructions as the wildfire has an asterik for hboot upgrade via ruu.

Acording to heaps of people are using HTC Supertools to get root. Although i have a Desire HD, when i have used this i have not got root, but thats just seems to be me

It should work fine if done correctly.

Hope this helps.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
As far as i know, the only thing you can't flash is the radio. I am not sure about kernel though.

Have you tried to get into recovery through the bootloader? (Press volume down + power).
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkaushik95:
yes i have , after i rooted my phone (from unLock Root), i realized that my bootloader was showing locked .So i unlocked it again and installed clockwork mod recovery through fastboot on my PC ,it installed , but again if i go to recovery from bootloader ,it shows the same error

See ,I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom manager and rebooted into bootloader to go to recovery ,but I get the error ,and according to my friend ,you cannot flash Rom without any recovery.

The problem with my phone is I cannot boot into recovery
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
You can't get into recovery when flashed it from rom manager by the bootloader option. You have to reboot into recovery from rom manager after flashing it from there cause it's not permanent.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkaushik95:
I tried doing that too ,but it has the same result.

is there any way I can put cm7 without flashing into recovery ?

Or can I delete the recovery and put it again ?

My friend told me that if you have the image file of the Rom (which can be backed up from another wildfire having cm7), you can boot into that image and install cm7 .

can this happen ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
You need to install cwm first, Rom manager just gives you a temporary downgrade to flash some older zips which use a different script to newer ones.

I believe you can use fastboot to install it, guide here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=

If you follow this guide that will get you cwm 4.x.x and allow you to flash cm7 from recovery, the latest version of cwm is 5.0.2.0 however and the img is knocking about in various places on this forum.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkaushik95:
okay ,now this i my bad .

I tried rooting through a site which was meant for the wildfire s .

so i erased the recovery and put clockworkmod recovery .

After 5 tries , i finally got into the recovery and installed CM7 in minutes :)

Thanks to all of you for help :)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] eluisve:
First off, I had to post here since I haven't made over 10 posts yet.

If you're getting a persistent allocation error when trying to flash the grfs.img (webtop) no matter what method, it might have to do with your computer lacking resources (not enough RAM).

Short of installing more RAM, you can try to increase your virtual memory (Control Panel>System>Advanced System Settings>Advanced tab> Performance (Settings)). My PC is only at 1GB of RAM, so I bumped my virtual memory up to 1522 (from 1024) and then restarted (to allow changes to take effect).

After it reboots, you should be able to flash the image. HOWEVER, IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. The grfs.img is ~1.3GB so it takes some time for the system to handle it. It took over an hour for my machine to finish and you couldn't do anything else while it was trying to load the image. I recommend keeping the number of running programs to a minimum (sorry, no interwebs).

This allowed me to revert to a factory version of 886 and ultimately get to 901 rooted.

Hopefully this helps someone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ErisDroid?:
I killed my battery doing this.

I went to VZW and told them that their upgrade killed my battery (not a complete lie) and they gave me a new one. I restored the phone, charged the battery and completed the upgrade.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eluisve:
How long did it stay at the DOS prompt while trying to parse the image? Was the battery fully charged? If your battery only lasted an hour or two, then you had some underlying issues. When I finally got back up and running, I had between 60-70% left, and that's including flashing several other items after the webtop image.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uber_Linny:
Well i managed to get it working in the end, i'm posting this incase people in the future had the same problem as me as i was trying everything (i even reverted back to CM7.1 incase it was that), turns out i had a bad version of Sixaxis controller after speaking to the guys at dancing pixel. Once i had updated to the newer version 0.3.9 all i had to do was then create touch profiles and set the controller to a sixaxis controller (within the app). basically i would go into each game take a screen shot, go back to the sixaxis controller app load the screenshot and place the buttons correctly over the top.

And now its sweeeet lol

Hello all! I have the i777 SGS2 and my phone was rooted with and ran UnNamed 2.2.1 ROM. On the way home the phone shut down by itself and after trying to turn it on, it gets to the Samsung logo and keeps going off and coming back on to that logo. I have restored it to stock via ODin and used a jig to reset the counter. Should I take it by AT&T for a replacement or is there something I can do? The root and ROM did not cause this, so this must be a phone problem.
