[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.
[HTC Rezound] angryPirate12:
When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.

That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.
[HTC Rezound] angryPirate12:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22203549&postcount=40

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
well at the moment looks like that particular kernel didnt do the trick, guess the search continues for the ultimate fix! haha

If I deactivate my rooted epic 4G Touch would I be able to reactivate it without any problems?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
You mean your service account? If so it shouldn't be a problem, though you may have to visit a Sprint store & call Sprint should you run into issues.

When my Evo went bad I had an old HTC Hero laying around & was able to reactivate it with no problems, but I did have to go into a Sprint store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
You should have no problems. I deactivated/reactivated my E4GT a couple of times online whenever I wanted to use my Evo 3d.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
When you did that did you have to pay a activation fee to activate the 3d then again to reactivate the e4gt? I always thought even if you are just swapping service they charge you an activation fee. My brother has a spare iPhone lying around that I wouldn't mind trying for a day. Would I be able to swap the service free of charge?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I've never been charged doing a simple swap online

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
You do it through the sprint chat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Sprint has a page that you just swap esn's or go to your main page and click activate an account... Its rather simple and no need to speak to anyone, its all automated whether its your first or one hundredth time and if you have to pay it will tell you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
This^

It's says something like "activate phone" next to your device in "my account". Takes minutes, just need the esn #. They would prefer you do it rather than call them up and waste their time, right?

[Acer Iconia A500] lweinb:
my front camera image is brightly colored like a "thermal"image. the black and white,and sepia are fine.I tried a hard reset but no difference. any help?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I would guess the camera driver could be bad. And if this is a stock (non rooted) tab, doing a factory reset will only re-load the same corrupted driver.

If you're rooted, and have installed a custom CWM recovery, you could try re-flashing a different ROM.

It also could be a bad camera (hardware)

Regardless, you'll need to return it for repair to Acer, if a custom rom doesn't fix it, or you don't wish to root and rom.
[HTC Rezound] riotdog7:
I use adownloader for all my torrent downloads, its actually a nice app. But ran across a problem this morning when trying to download a 7gb file. I get a message stating android does not support downloads of files larger than 4 gb.... Is there a way around this limitation?????
[HTC Rezound] con247:
it is a limitation of the fat32 sd card. Can't have files larger than 4gb. So the app is probably hardcoded to not let you download it. But I hope you aren't torrenting over LTE... that is the reason people like me are stuck with tiered plans.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Not to be argumentative, but no it's not. Verizon's just greedy. They're still making money hand over fist from unlimited users.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
What do you need a 7gb file on your phone for anyway. And as far as the data hog thing goes whether its the main reason or not it definitely doesn't help, and yeah what can your phone possibly do with a 7gb file, unless its a 5 hour movie you are abusing your data.
[HTC Rezound] riotdog7:
I've have unlimited data and I don't think using it anyway I want to is abuse. Sucks for you if you signed up for a tiered plan lol. But the amount of data I consume isn't what this thread was posted about...
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Actually, it is. It costs roughly $5 to send a gig of data over wireless data networks when customer care, backhaul, electricity, etc are all taken into account. That means that anyone who uses over 7gb of data on their phone is costing the carrier money. That usually isn't an issue. Most people probably pay around $30 a month for data and use about a gig maybe two. So the carrier makes $25. But then there are the jerks who pull down 80gb/month on wireless ruins it for everyone because they cost the carrier $370.

source: whitepages at signalresearch.com

voice and texting are what the carrier makes money on. So if everyone switched to google voice and voip solutions therefore dropping to the lowest minute plans without texting, data costs would skyrocket.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Got a link? Genuinely curious.

But let's do the math--the average user data/month is 435 megabytes. Using your 5 dollars/GB figure, which seems totally plausible, that means that on average Verizon is making ~27.50 in profit per user, whether they're capped at 2gb or unlimited.

This is based on AT&T's figures, but apparently their remaining unlimited data group comprises a 5% that uses more than 2gb a month. That means that 95% of their users are making AT LEAST 20 dollars in profit, if the demographics for Verizon comport with AT&T's, because they use less than 2GB. (30 dollars- 2GB x 5 dollars)

That means Verizon is making money absolutely hand over fist. The average of 435mb includes my mom's iphone, which uses maybe 5 MB a month, and that jerk for tethers 80gb. The 5mb a month crowd massively outweighs the 80gb a month crowd.

Edit: typo
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I feel like people use either 0-4gb or like 50+gb. So if the average person uses 2GB, but someone else uses 50gb, it takes the "profit" from 11 2GB users to cancel him out.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
The average is 435 megabytes a month.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
On att right? You use more data on LTE doing the same things. I used to use 500mb/month on my 3G phone. Now I hit 2GB doing the same activities each month because I can consume way more web pages in the same amount of time. Att probably did that study on their 3G network
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Actually I was wrong, it's a bit higher now:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/249532/smartphone_data_shakeup_the_end_of_unlimited.html

According to The Nielsen Company, the average per-user data consumption by U.S. smartphone customers was 606.1MB -- or about 0.59GB -- per month in the third quarter of 2011 (the most recent period for which measurements were available).

So that's for all Americans who use smartphones.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The average data use doubled in one year too... wow. So average $22 in profit on someone who uses average. But for someone who uses 50, it still takes 10 people if you are counting $25 average spent on data. At verizon we pay 30, but people on att either pay $25 or $15 so it is probably close to $25 average.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yep. But remember, according to those figures only 1% of users use more than 4.5gb. It still takes 6 gigs of data for Verizon to take a loss on you. So we're already talking about a fraction of 1% that Verizon might be taking a loss on. Their pricing models are designed to maximize profit, but even with unlimited data and current usage patterns it'd be damn hard for them to lose money.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Didn't at&t already come out and say that people are using double the data they were a year ago?

But I have to agree, if the storage can't handle that big of a file, maybe better to do it on a computer anyway.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Sounds like someone is jealous of those with unlimited data.

Your argument would be like this. You buy a car that engine power can only do 45 MPH. I buy a car that can do 80 MPH. Speed limit on the highway is 80 MPH. Because you cannot do 80 MPH you think I should have to drive 45 MPH. I payed for something you didn't. It isn't my fault your on tiered data. It is the fact that the wireless industry in this country is broken.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
You are sorta correct. I really don't care about unlimited data. 4GB is plenty for me to never need wifi. And when I do need wifi, well, my sigpic you can see that that my school's ISP is plenty fast lol. To the point, your analogy is a bit off. It would be more like getting my amount of gas limited so I couldn't drive as fast. LTE phones are like fast cars... I have one, you have one, but since some of us have our gas limited we can't drive full speed all the time even if we are capable of doing so and want to.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I can see his point. As Verizon switches all devices over to LTE (they have said no more 3g smartphone) and the networks gets more congested, I expect them to start throttling the unlimited users.

There has already been talk of data plans becoming speed based instead of data limits the way wired internet plans are.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Ok ill agree with yours. Been up 32 hours so the old thinker is a little slow. Haha.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I don't think the contract says anything about being able to cap 4g speeds for those of us with unlimited data. 3g yes because it is capped at 5 regardless. Mobile broadband cards contracts for LTE list a 5GB cap on unlimited. Cellphones contracts do not. If I remember correctly.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
no, but all mobile contracts have fair use policies that leave a lot of gray area. I think in the next 2 years after most everyone is on lte, the data landscape will look much different.

Shoot, I still remember waiting forever for skyfire to stream video to my moto q9c...
[HTC Rezound] FcoT:
All this drama because someone doesn't want to believe a FACT about the limitations of fat32! ROFLMAO:rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Correct.

I ran into this by accident a couple daya ago. I had ripped two copies of a movie to my PC. One was something like 480 megs, the other was 7 gigs.

I accidentally tried to copy the wrong one to my card and got the error, the file is too big.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
If i had anything beside dial up or Sat. Internet in my area, id prolly use less than a gig a month.....buuut....its either those 2 providers...or 4g lol. Sooo
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:

The poor chap can't even afford a pool or tennis court like his neighbors and you all want unlimited data?!?! Society sickens me!
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Well I have abused the Network, was averging about 10-15 GB's a month but it feels soo good doing it!! Been paying for almost 5 years for the data (3G at the time), two smarthphone lines. One avg'd below 300 mb/s per month, the other about 500 mb/s. About time I had my fair share, plus im currently enrolled in the hotspot, so it's not a total loss to VZW.

If I had a chance to drive on one of the Autobahn's road, I would take advantage of it. Im sure 90% of you would do the same

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nbunn:
Me and my mother are switching to At&t soon, and I'm kinda stuck. I have an Epic on Sprint now and development is top notch. Miui,cm7,cm9, sense ports are being worked on, its just great. What my issue is, is I can't figure out what phone to get. I'm stuck mostly between the HTC Vivid and the OG SGSII. Development is huge for me, I'm a terrible flashaholic. I NEED good stuff to flash such as cm, miui, and stuff like that. Benchmarks don't matter to me.. but development does.. what do you guys think I should do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
What answer do you expect from this forum? You think people here would tell you to go to the vivid? Not very likely
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nbunn:
Well, someone in vivid told me to get sgsii, so, anything is possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
I don't think anyone here would tell you to not get our device...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
The HTC Vivid is more comparable to the Skyrocket really. It's huge.

I've only had the HTC Inspire 4G but that phone was worlds harder to mod than the SGS2. HTC seems more adamant about people not rooting their devices, and for that reason I'd say go for the SGS2. Plus this phone basically shares the i9100 community since the Hellraiser by Entropy. I don't know much about the Vivid community so I cant comment there. The only appealing thing to me about HTC is its Sense UI. I personally like it better than TouchWiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
Honestly if Dev support is what you're looking for then this is the phone for your, vivid can't even compare.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Thought the updated HTC tool took care of that?

Anyway. Get the i777 OG SGSII. Nuff said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Any Galaxy S variant will be the best option for development, mainly because the international versions get ported over relatively quickly and have huge dev support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
Go with the vivid, faster data, better ui, better hardware and will probably have ICS before the SG2, ohh and yes you can unlock the bootloader with developer tool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Better UI is subjective, i find sense to be a little too over the top with animations and it slows the phone down with its bloat. We have better hardware no question thoug, the vivid may have better build quality, but its hardware is definitely not better (Exynos>>>>>>>> Snapdragon). The S II never had a locked bootloader to begin with either so we didn't have to wait months for that. Also, what the hell makes you think we'll get ICS after the vivid? we are waiting for two things that will be solved when source is released for the international Galaxy S II i9100, which has a huge developer following unlike the vivid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:
Tough call. I love my gs2. I'm always looking at flashing too. Since the hellraiser package from the great entropy it opened the doors to almost all the roms at the I9100 section. Now we have a flashaholic tool also. Only downfall for the time being is us waiting for kernel source for ics. Which should hopefully be real soon. Most all the devs in the I9100 are now doing ics roms and unfortunately we can't run it properly. But when that day comes when we can watch out, the flood gates will be wide open to tons of roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
They still have s-on. They can flash roms, but not radios, or rooted ruu's.

But anyways get whatever you like, the vivid is a great device in my opinion. (I'm a sense lover). Touchwiz 4 l love also, I picked this phone because of the processor, its a Samsung

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Any LTE device will deliver poor battery life - just like UMTS (3G) was bad for battery in the first 1-2 years of its existence.

After a year or two, LTE will hopefully no longer have the power penalty it currently has, but right now, LTE = battery hogging fatty. Just look at how awful all of Verizon's phones have been in the weight/battery life arena since they moved to LTE. Supposedly the radios in AT&T's LTE phones are better, but all reports I've heard indicate otherwise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
The Vivid boot unlocker is a HTC site, once you use it your phone's warranty is null and void. Really nice HTC.

GS2 has CM7, MIUI, numerous hellraised roms, and Samsung touchwiz roms. Development in the Vivid is much more limited. Maybe that will change in the future but who can say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Good point - technically the flash counter on GS2 voids your warranty, but it's REALLY easy to bypass that currently.

Voiding warranty due to custom binaries is lame - If a manufacturer is concerned with custom firmware causing problems, they simply need to make it easy to return-to-stock. None of this bull**** with putting minefields in the path of those who want custom firmware that make it easier to brick.

Samsung already has this capability, but they only enable it from the factory on the Galaxy Player. With a full return-to-stock image, the Galaxy Player 5.0 cannot be hardbricked by any means - if the bootloaders are corrupted, it falls back to a built-in bootloader mode within the CPU hardware. All Hummingbird and Exynos devices have this capability but Samsung usually disables it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
From a hardware perspective, there isn't much question, the Exynos is much better. Having recently bought the Vivid's cousin, the Rezound, i will say that having played with other SGSII models in the store reinforced the stupid choice VZ made in not carrying that hardware.

As it is, despite the locked bootloader, i am happy with my Rezound (so far). I am sure if i have a real hardware issue, that i can be persistant enough to get it taken care of, despite having "voided" my warrenty.

That said, i think if you have the choice of Exynos hardware, i would take it first. But i would also say that with enough rumors of the SGSIII, it might be prudent to wait and see what that has to bring...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dragon_99:
Don't wait, just get the SGS2. Yes, tomorrow will bring a new phone, but that's never going to change.

I waited last year for the SGS2 when it was announced in March... I finally got a phone in October... Had I known it was going to take ATT that long I would have just gotten something else.
