I'm on sprint and have been for a year now with my HTC EVO 4G. Since I'm on a family plan I don't have a yearly upgrade (although they did away with that...). The EVO is just kinda slow hardware wise, so I'm looking for a new phone from now till I can upgrade to an LTE phone in yet another year.

Thing is, I want a Galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. So I need it off contract, and with my $200 budget it would have to be used. Where should I look to get it? Ebay has it priced at $300, a but too pricey. Where do you guys go for off contract used phones?
[General Topics] adelmundo:
Try Craigslist. If you buy a phone off someone from craigslist, I suggest you meet the person at a Sprint store to do the phone transfer. This makes sure you get a phone with a clean ESN (in other words to not get scammed).
[General Topics] rocket999:
That's a really good idea. Would they not activate it if it had a bad ESN?
[General Topics] adelmundo:
If it has a bad ESN, it will not get activated. So it's a good idea to do it at the Sprint store so the store can check if the phone does have a good ESN before you shell out the cash to the seller. Plus doing it at the Sprint store is also a public place as well, providing safety, especially if you're carrying $200 cash. People have been mugged from fake Craigslist ads as well, since the thieves know you're carrying large amounts of cash.
[General Topics] .xxx.:
I would have rather asked you to buy the phone from flipkart . I find it much better than ebay ( but it is just my review ;) )
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
I don't think you'll find a E4GT for less than $300.

[General Topics] rocket999:
So one more question. If I were to get a GS2 with a bad ESN AND find a bricked GS2, then use CDMA workshop or a similar program and switch the two ESNs would they activate it over the phone? To them the GS2 with a bad ESN would look like the bricked one that would have a clean one.

I have seen people that do this to flash phones to other cariers. They get an old donor phone and use the esn from that for the new phone. Then they just have the carrier activate it. The process would be the same, except without switching carriors. Thoughts?
[General Topics] eksasol:
I think you should look at XDA Market Place.

You can get a Nexus S off of CL for cheap. Around $150-$200 or straight trade. You have to look around but you can always find a deal. This is coming from a person who deals on CL regularly.

Swapping ESN's is very illegal. I would suggest not going down that road.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mizzour:
Just to get try to get things moving forward towards custom roms for the HTC 7 Trophy (Verizon) and Arrive (Sprint) CDMA devices, is to nail down which languages should be in the roms.

Since these are almost exclusively North American devices, my thought is that roms for them should at least include options for English (EN-US), Spanish, and French (for the Quebecois of Canada). Any other thoughts?

I have htc sensation tuning mike 6.1.2 tom and wanted to know to set up the router for T-Mobile wifi calling . Any help will be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] tlgerdes:
Hi All,

I am looking to jump into ICS and am wondering how stable is the lastest 3.24 version or 3.25 vers RUU from HTC?

Can I run the 3.25 LE version on a standard Sensation (non-XE)?

What bugs have been discovered so far?

I dont want to go to a modded version yet, just looking at the original RUUs.

Yes, I have S-Off, unlocked boot etc.

Cheers

Trev.
[HTC Sensation] TyIsOwned:
I am running Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 XE on my TMO US Sensation. Its worked exceptionally well, and I think it is more than stable enough for daily use.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4

if you choose to try it out, make sure you use the XE version, as the Reg version's browser has some weird flicker going on (they patched the XE one already)
[HTC Sensation] CursedBat:
Yes you could Trev.

However do keep in mind that 3.25 ver RUU only only supports Sense 3.6 And above ROMs. Some say even 4.0.3 ASOP roms are not supported.

For bug wise, I don't remember there being bugs in any RUU firmware packages.

As for the above mentioned ARHD 6.2.1,

If you install the Radio, Firmware, Super Wipe & the ROM correctly,

I can guarantee you that it will be smooth like butter.

However I AM facing a particular bug which is me being unable to connect to any other WiFi Spots other than my WiFi Spot that I have used in the first Boot

Configuration. And also, the WiFi Hotspot problem, which can be solved using the Barnacle WiFi Tether From the Android Market. :)

Cheers :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
I rooted my brother's slide a while back and installed a stock froyo based rom (I'm not sure which one). He had been having some minor issues with his phone (no big deal) and I had been planning to switch him over to cyanogenmod, but this morning his screen would not go to sleep no matter what he did. It just wakes up immediately. He suspects that the device is registering a push on the optical trackpad, because when he tried to restart the phone, it auto selects and sometimes confirms options for him in the popup menu. The trackpad wake seems to be preventing the phone from sleeping, but it could also be something else.

I thought the best course of action would be to install CM6 (he had the older clockwork recovery so I thought i'd put the stable 6.1 on there to walk him through the steps while I wasn't physically present to mess with his phone). The installation went perfectly, but the problem is persisting. If i'm not mistaken, cm6 comes with a custom kernel of its own so that's probably not the issue. Also, for some reason, when his phone wakes up after attempting to be locked, it now briefly shows the lock screen and jumps ahead to the recent apps screen (as if the home button has been long pressed).

This problem is baffling us. If any of you have any ideas what might be wrong I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

EDIT: I thought it would be worth mentioning that in recovery, the trackpad function seems to be normal (according to him). He's several hundred miles away from me at the moment so I haven't seen the issue up close myself.

I have to restart ADW EX everytime I power off and power back on. For some reason it boots with the samll icons of the regular ADW that's come stock w/ CM7. Anyone else having this issue? I thought maybe if I changed the permissions it might help, but it didn't. Any ideas? Is there any way to uninstall the regular ADW? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
Rename or delete the ADW apk that is included with cm7. I have to do it everytime I put cm7 on a new device since I purchased EX.

Oh, and the problem lies in the ADW settings selection from cm7. When you go to ADW settings, it isn't changing settings for EX.
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
I just go in(via Root Explorer) to system and apps and just rename the ADW.apk? This will fix my problem?
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Sweet!

Worked extremely well. Booted with my large icons. Thank you very much.
[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
Or just move it to your SDCard, which is what I always do. I would imagine renaming, deleting, and moving all have the exact same effect. Once you move it just FC your ADW EX or reboot so you can get into its settings correctly.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Quite welcome!
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
It worked at first when I renamed it, then I had the same issues. I just moved the renamed ADW to SD and the ADW EX to system>app, hopefully this works.
[Kindle Fire General] guillotinedream:
I can confirm that the method described above fixed the issue for me
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Please clarify as to which method of which you speak. I'm still getting this everytime I boot, small icons and f*cked up dock icons:

AND for some reason its booting to this ^^^ screen which is the screen to the right of my home screen and it has my market icon highlighted automatically as if I'm pressing it. Even though I went as far as renaming, then moving to sd, THEN eventually deleting the original ADW.apk all together. If I hit restart ADW in the adw settings, then it looks as it should, like so: http://imgur.com/cIMhy

But mI have to restart ADW every time i boot up
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Now I'm getting stuck at the CM7 boot up screen the ring around the droid freezes. FML
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Had to end up flashing a recovery backup. Reinstalled ADW EX in system>apps. Moved regular ADW to SD and I STILL get small icons. What gives? Do I need to change permissions?
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
These are the unaltered permissions for the regular CM7 ADW Launcher.

These are the unaltered permissions for ADW Launcher EX immediately after I sideload it to the SD.

Do I need to change the permissions to match that of the stock CM7 ADW launcher's?
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
hey...I've had no probs with ADW ex at all on any ROM especially MOST ESPECIALLY cm7. Its the most perfect launcher.

sent by your mom
[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
I do not move my ADW EX to system and I have none of these issues after deleting the cm7/standard ADW. This is working 100% for two Kindle Fires at my house as well as my ATRIX and three old Backflips that are also on CM7. One thing to note is that the ADW density hack never sticks for either of my KFs. I have to uncheck and recheck it after a reboot.
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
I'm retarded

This is what it was the whole F'ing time. I bricked it twice restored to a backup a couple of times. wiped to factory resets and reflashed everything. Lol. Guess I know now.

Can any of the Viber users or soft dev guru help on this little problem.

I love Viber and I love my SGS2, now after few months of owning and learning, I want to start playing around specifically changing my Rom and what not.

Now my problem is i have 13,000+ exchange messages with my GF on viber and I really wanna keep it, as i understand that when I change my Rom I have to do a data wipe and all. I know there's a backup/restore function but is there a guarantee that i can restore Viber with all the messages still there?

Can someone provide a walk around? I have tried google for solution and used the search here but there was nothing except the android team saying its something that they "might" incorporate in the future - that's backing up of the messages.

I hope other users are on the same ship with me here. thanks in advance...

Copying the database doesn't work for me. Here's what happens:

When I make a fresh installation of viber and replace the empty (fresh) /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages database file with my backup (old) one, viber crashes every time I launch it. I was careful to set permissions to rw- rw- --- as the fresh file has them.

What can I do - maybe export the records in the backup db file and reimport them into the fresh one?

If the previous question has no easy answer, at least can someone tell me what's happening so I can try to figure out an alternative approach?

The file on the phone is an SQL Lite database.

Probably you could copy it to your PC, import the data, copy it back and have the database repaired.

I just restored the whole "com.viber.voip/databases" folder, and it works perfectly. all messages etc are there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syfeeq:
Hello :) I also have a problem with backuping my Viber messages.

Today I've done a software update. I'm using Samsung I9105P (SGS II+ with NFC). The update was from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I did a normal copy of data\data\com.voip.viber\ and full app+data backup with Titanium Backup.

So this is what happens:

Everytime I restore data with Titanium the app starts normally and then I'm always asked to type in my phone number and the activation code. Before doing that all messages do exist. I know that because I am able to close these dialog windows with "back button" and look on the messages but I'm unable to normally use viber (I mean send and recieve msgs). After applying the activation code the message tab appears without any message. It happens like this everytime.

I also tried to just paste the "databases" folder or just the "viber_messages" file but both of these actions end with appcrash and then i need to reinstall it or just back up data with titanium (and then it's all the same as I wrote above - I mean activation code etc.).

I have several thousands of messages and I don't really want to lose them. Especially looking on the fact, that I've restored up my viber messages for a few times when I've been using Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and also transferred them on this phone.

Any ideas for a solution? I'd be grateful. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajoh99:
Same problem here! I can see the messages at first (after restoring APK + data from titanium or mybackuppro), but Viber wipes them when it asks me to reactivate. This whole thing is a mess. Anyone know a possible solution? I also have lots of messages that are important and I would like to restore.

I have exactly the same problem with the one the two last users are dealing with.

As soon as i got updated to Android 4.3 and restored Viber and its data with Titanium Backup, the first time i run Viber i can see my messages for 1 or 2 secs and then activation screen appears. After finishing app's activation i can't see my messages anymore..

If you have a titanium backup, unzip the backup file and extract the viber_messages file and replace the one in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages by root browser. It worked for me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snebojsa:

Have the exact problem with TB and activation process, messages are gone after activation, but i have the solution that worked for me:

In TB folder find com.viber.voip-(some numbers).tar archive

open \data\data\com.viber.voip\.\databases

find both "viber_messages" AND "viber_messages_journal" files

copy them to \data\data\com.viber.voip\databases on the phone

change permission for viber_messages to RW RW --

change permission for viber_messages_journal to RWX RW --

restart phone and that's it, you will have all your messages :)

You can do this with ES file explorer, just go to settings/display settings/ and tick "show hidden files", great program and it's free :good:

This worked too! Thanks! A much better way since TB first then insert the message files manually. I believe the same would probably work for whatsapp as I saw a whatsapp folder with the messages.crypt file thingy beside viber in the /data/data folder.

The easiest way to do this is to

1. zip the whole folder with ES Explorer

2. after activating your new number / reinstalling viber -> extract the 'databases' folder from the zip to 'current folder'

That's all.
