I was thinking on buying a projector just to muck around with but as said the resolution seems very small almost pointless to even project
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sammyx:
do you know some good projector for this mobile?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Yea great idea in principle but I can't see it being useful unless it could project in higher resolution (which obviously isn't possible)

Maybe one day

would be really helpful over that funny with friends!

Sure that there isn't anyone in sell?

Just flashed Pete's latest and greatest, but the working 1% battery mod I had on the previous build trashes the statusbar...

There's a post with about 30 1% batt mods, these also mess up the status bar currently, so...

Anyone know of a 1% batt mod that's working on Pete's crespo_02-16-12 release?!

My accelerometer hasn't been working correctly since after I flashed Descent 1.5 rom on my view. The accelerometer seem to be freezing a lot and never respond when i tilt my device.

I tried to flashed back to stock honeycomb, gingerbread and it still not working correctly. Does any1 have any idea how to fix this? I cannot play any game that involve with accelerometer. :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geebee1932:
Do you have a case with any type of magnetic closure? The magnet that hold my case cover closed affects the accelerometer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompheak:
When i use portable wifi hotspot option... will i get charge even if i have unlimited data plan... just curious... i came from tmobile... and there was no fees when i use the miui rom on my htc hd2... i want to put this on my captivate and afraid that i might get charge for turning on and using portable hotspot... does anyone know anything about it? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
In my experience, no you would not get charged. I've used a couple of different wifi tethering apps in the past and it worked great! I'm now on Fusion ICS rom and ICS has the option built in to allow tethering. It works great as well. So as long as you're rooted and can install 3rd party apps, which it seems you are, then you should have no problems. :)

Thanks for the quickly response
[Epic 4G General] SoulPride:
I had my Epic 4G flashed to Metropcs and was all ready to use QPST to get data working, but QPST will not install on my computer. I've tried and tried and tried and for whatever reason it just errors and stops installing.

Does anyone know of a way to simply flash the setting using CWM or ODIN?

I saw the Alternative Carrier Fix thread but couldn't post there to ask if that would work for me as I'm rooted on stock EL30.

Are there any ROM's available that include the required settings to get data working on Metropcs?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
That thread you ran into is your best bet. Try another computer, and try grabbing qpst from another source, the one I posted on my thread works great. Just don't post about metropcs on it as the thread is for epic to virgin mobile.

The method uses outdated methods that require you to build a custom rom of el30 that DOESN'T exist. Also it uses scripts for 3g data, tbh it isn't worth it. I reccommend you switch to Virgin Mobile if you're in the Sprint coverage as I have a guide written for that.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
I'm pretty sure metro is only 1x data. My gf just got the wildfire s and its shown 1x since the day she got it.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Not all metro phones are 1x. They introduced 3g phones a few years ago.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
I will finally be unlocking my rezound once I get home from school .... I'm so nervous I will brick it lol. Can someone suggest a noob friendly Rom to get started that has full functionality..I would like WiFi tether to work in infrastructure mode ..since I'm getting the vita next week. I know this question has been beaten to death but there were a lot of different threads with like different opinions and it would be easier if it is all just in this one thread for me. Thanks:)
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
I still have a stock Unrooted Rezound also..Will be watching this thread..so let me know your ups and downs..I might do this as well.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I really would stick to just rooted and debloated stock for now. If you reallly want a custom rom I think Scott's Clean rom's run well or Nil's business sense rom's just make sure you are downloading the Gingerbread versions. Make sure you read the threads to see about tethering since that is something i have never done so never paid attention to what works or doesn't with tethering.

P.S. unlocking is extremely easy, just follow the directions on the HTCdev site precisely and you will not have an issue. Also I would definately suggest sticking with Amon Ra for your recovery seems to have the least trouble right now. Clockwork official is really new to the rezound and I still seem to read threads that people have trouble with backups or restoring backups and sometimes even installing roms using it.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Stick to GB for now.

Read the threads and find out which one suites you best. Everyone has different tastes. Do your homework and you won't have problems.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
To answer the question about tethering...the only infrastructure tethering to be found is on an ICS ROM. Unfortunately that's not "noob" friendly.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yes- definitely read the entire threads of any ROMs you are considering so you will know what to expect as far as bugs and known issues.

Stick with Amon Ra recovery. There's an update coming with a fix if it's not already posted.

GB ROMs have ad-hoc tethering. ICS have infrastructure. But ICS ROMs are not fly functional so again- read entire threads to know what you're getting into.

I really like Ineffabilis GB. I would probably just use it with stock kernel though. I'm not seeing a benefit to using dsb although maybe I just need to play with CPU settings more.

This is my first smartphone and something that's really helped me is keeping a text file with notes on how to do everything so I don't have to search for info again when I need it. Also gathers lots of info from various threads in one place and makes it easier to learn everything. Seems it's quite different on this phone since it is still s-on.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
This ^^^^^ would be the most important advice you can get. Read, read, read.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i dont understand why people are soo scared... its highly unlikely you will brick your phone... but if you can follow direction then you will be fine
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I think uncomfortable would be more appropriate. It's just something new to this person, and that would be a normal reaction.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, and a nervous excitement. I was fortunate that WasabiWa83 offered to stand by in chat in case anything went wrong. And a week or so later when I was reflashing a ROM and the phone gave me an error message in the middle of flashing saying it couldn't read my ext sd card I got stuck on the HTC splash screen and I didn't even panic, just went through the steps I had read about and all was good again.

So as long as you read and learn, once you've gone through everything you get comfortable since you know there's a way out of any trouble you may encounter.
[HTC Rezound] nblade0354:
Unlocking is simple and easy. Don't worry about bricking the phone man. I owned an Incredible before my Rezound and installed ROMs, radios, kernels, splash screens, you name it and never had a problem. Once you get the hang of flashing stuff and go through the initial process of botching something up and figuring out how to fix it, it becomes second nature and quite fun. Welcome to the unlocked world!

P.s. Nil's business gingersense and scott's roms are great for beginners. I suggest Nil's if you want a little bit of theming and scott's if you want more basic functionality. Stick with gingerbread for now, although the ICS roms that are out there are good enough to be daily drivers and I did run them for over a month, they do have their little kinks still.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Quit discouraging ICS roms. I haven't been on GB since 2 days after the first leak and aside from bluetooth and the occasional screen flicker, they work fine.

That said, sticking to GB for awhile might be a good idea. There are plenty of people always online here ready to help if you post in the general section. Just make sure to look at stickies and such for help. A good rooting guide written my myself is linked in my signature. It is the most simple of the guides an I have updated it for the newest firmware version.
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
For me

not

being unlocked and rooted >>I would say the reason I dont jump right away is not I'm scared or nervous..its the time and effort from going to a fully working phone to a phone that might be buggy to just get just a few perks. Plus not to mention the time it takes to try each ROM out,,gheez that the hard part!!

I personally would do it to get rid of the bloat ware that could be using my battery, What the OP is doing it for? I think the same reason as me. Unless he likes looking forward to the pain like the all of you. :D
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:

[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
i just got my Rezound on Wednesday... took all about 30 min before i had my Rom Urges, and had to unlock and flash... i haven't stopped trying roms since... i need help with my addiction.. lol
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I agree about ICS roms... they are awesome i like them over GB
[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
If you want speed and battery with the stock look mainly, give cleanrom a shot! All the other GBs are themed beautifully and have have a lot of work put into them. I stayed away from ICS because I am OCD on bugs and theme issues such as 4g arrows but it ran very smoothly.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
I've told others in various threads but i'll say it here cause it can't be stressed enough. *learn about flashing kernels aka boot.img*.. I would dare to say 70% of the threads in the Dev forum are cluttered with people who never learned about flashing rom kernels with adb or tools like cleanflash that make it easier. The super-noob guide in the dev section is your best friend.

Most folks are used to the kernel being totally packaged in with the rom zip and once you flash the rom zip you're good to go. That is not the case with this phone. Learn about it and save yourself many headaches.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
Well I unlocked my phone and I think it's rooted..so I should stick to GB roms? Is ineffabilis good?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Ineffabilis is a GREAT GB Rom but to be honest they're all really good.

I think its good to start off with GB because you may run into usability issues with ICS that may cause issues for you. Flashing a GB will help you get your feet wet! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
I am seeing all of these crazy quad core android leaks now and windows phone will get even more behind in specs. Look i know that most apps wont even utilize the quad core, there are barely any apps that do dual core but Apollo better be groundbreaking and allow quad core cause that is where MS needs to compete. At this rate i think the next iPhone too will be outdated on release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] svtfmook:
wp7 doesn't need quad core, in fact, 99% of the smartphone users don't even need a dual core.

you'll see these quad core phones with a huge price tag, low battery life and performing the same as single/dual core devices.

it's completely unnecessary. it's not like you're running lightroom and premiere on your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
Completely unnecessary? Definitely, wanted by many? Hell yes
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyberstoic:
My concern is with heat dissipation with all that processor power. In addition to my DVP, I have a MyTouch4G Slide - 1.2 ghz dual core - and it can get hot when you are using it. I am curious to see what the longevity of these 1st gen dual cores are based on my experience with the heat. My DVP seldom gets hot, neither did my nexus one for that matter. Just a thought...........

Haven't you seen any of the Smoked By Windows Phone challenges? A Windows phone is faster than any of the android or iphones out there with dual core processors. IMO thats saying something.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Quad cores are nice and stuff but they suck up a lot of battery power add that to the already 4G sucking up most of it and you get a phone that you have to charge every few hours a day. It's like a laptop with a cell phone battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
gimmick gimmick gimmick
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
This comment is ridiculous when you remember windows phone 8 is a desktop OS on a phone. well at least the kernel.

Quad cores however, are not needed on a phone at this point of time. Tablets yes, phones no. But to all that worry, Apollo is coming out this year
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
well u know what I mean, I meant it by the hardware standpoint.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I do think that Windows Phone needs to enter the dual core market for the gaming segment. Quad core is not necessary now and I suspect the Android market will not be dominated by quad cores in 2012.

But we do have to face facts, if (and I am not saying this is indeed a fact) the consumer wants a dual core then sales will not be where you want them to be if you are pushing out single cores. And so on. Imagine an OEM only making 3.2MP point and shoot cameras because that is enough to print on 8.5x11.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
It's exactly what I was going to say.... Xbox live titles are pretty good and they are getting better but, still not even close to some RPGs or Rage on the iphone or Android for graphics detail, quality and game play.

Xbox live is a brand that is known for great games, As a gamer, I am disapointed in the offerings given on my WP7 device. They are good but, not great.

Quad cores are just too much (battery and heat are the big ones), crap, to do better games, just give a better GPU, no quad core or even dual core is needed in most cases.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
absolutely agree, this is exactly why my device thats near on 2.5 YEARS old still kicks the balls off devices made yesterday

However, graphically intensive tasks are hampered by its aging Adreno 200 GPU

I believe the younger brother of my phone the HD7 had the Adreno 205 which gave it a significant bump, personally, i want the S3 Snapdragons, not for the multiple cores but the new Adreno 220/225.

The old S1 processor in my thing is still standing true, shoving 3 or even another 1 core in it is going to make the square route of bugger all difference in my every day needs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Jones:
The only reason for WP7 to have more CPU power is for gaming (and for the spec sheets of course). I am sure Apollo will bring multi-core support which will enable even better games. As it goes, some of the xbox live titles are fairly impressive, but there are games on other platforms which are significantly better due to the power available.

The only thing I have seen mentioned in this thread that is worth having more power for other than games, is 1080p video recording. It definitely does make a difference - I have a camera that does 1080p and it is very very nice. Cant wait for that, although I have a sneaky feeling that the second gen devices could do it if the software allowed it - correct me if I am wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Arjoma:
Yes, don't change Windows Phone! Keep it as it has always been. The first Gen devices from two years ago are sufficient, so there is no need for improvement! You see how great they sell! :D

Maybe quad core is a bit much on a phone (whereas I could imagine having one in my tablet), but if it improves multitasking, saves battery at the same time and makes speedier cameras, faster web browsing and better games possible- then fine, give the people the chance to buy these devices. Not everyone may need them (they buy the middle class models with the last gen hardware) but there definitely is a market.

And yes, imo Android devices are way faster than WP7 devices, equally smooth and offer a superior interface which looks better and offers far more options - a matter of taste!
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
You ignore the fact that most sales people completely ignore selling WP7 over the easy sell of Android and iOS.

Sorry... seen way too many laggy Android ROMs and devices to fully believe this statement. Whereas, every WP7 device has been consistently smooth. Superior interface is purely subjective.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Dumb question, but I have yet to figure it out LOL. So I got 2 new phones for my kids and I add them to my contact list and sync contacts, but everytime I flash a new rom and log in to my google account the 2 new phones are never on my contact list and I continually have to re add them. How do I get my contacts to sync and update to my google account ?

Thanks for any help it's driving me nuts.
[HTC Rezound] fenixnr:
When you add a contact, there are options to save to the phone, google, or sim card, make sure you change from phone, to google.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Ah, never noticed that before ! Thank you

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Since we're on this topic, I've noticed that when I edit a google contact on my phone it only stays changed for a few mins until it re-syncs with google contacts and then it goes back to the way it was. How can I set it so that I can edit info on the phone and it'll update the contact on google's servers. It seems like its only a one way sync on this HTC phone. I've had galaxy S phones before and never had this problem. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Bump.

Is there no way to have the phone update gmail contacts on google's servers? I've never had this problem before on any Android phone. Samsung touchwiz, AOSP, and Cyanogen all worked properly.
[HTC Rezound] lejars1:
I have the same problem on an SG3. It is driving me crazy. At the moment is seems that the only way to get a new contact on the phone is to enter it into Google first.

This seems to be a big problem for a lot of people.

I expect that there is some simple answer and that it is simply that smething which is being misunderstood - but if some knows the answer and could post it here - there would be a lot of grateful people.
[HTC Rezound] christohfur:
There is also the option to back your phone up with your google account when you first sync it. DoD you select that?

I hope I'm doing this right
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:

i have the same problem and it drives me crazy. when i update a Google contact on my phone and after manually sync the contacts, it doesn't get updated on my Google account on the net.

[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
Complaints here are worthless without saying what code is being run. I use rooted/debloated stock firmware, and contacts sync just fine between the phone and gmail.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Same. I've never had an issue like this in all my years on android. All I can say is make 100% sure you are changing the Google contact in your phone book and not a phone/facebook/sim one. Any chances made via phone or Web to contacts should sync pretty much instantly.

Also if you have multiple accounts like I do, I'd recommend using just one for all your numbers and having the others just for email addresses and such. Maybe the multi account sync is just showing the one with the most information vs the actual one that you edited. See if this helps :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
First thing's first - it's not a brick if you can get into the bootloader (which you obviously can). The device appears to be NAND unlocked (likely with unrevoked), so your next step is to flash a custom recovery (RA-supersonic recommended), and then you can flash the custom ROM of your choosing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjmarket:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You need to go the dev section, search for the amon ra thread, flash that recovery VIA PC36IMG method [explained in thread], then flash a rom through the recovery. Best to use a card adapter to place the files on the sd card till you get a recovery loaded.
