No it will not restore firmware, but if you keep a library of firmware on your SD card you can install as you need from recovery. Rename the PG58IMG files with a reference to the firmware so you don't get muddled up, then rename to PG158IMG as you need.

I bough Beats Tour earphones, and only afterwards I went on the beats website to find out why my volume up and down buttons dont work. It turns out, only bloody apples have the suitable "Hardware?". It looks like it has same jack as evo 3D.

But I just want to clearify, for me and other Beats Tour earphone users. Is there a software for androids that would allow to read them extra buttons on headset, or is it truely hardware limitation.. Couse It would KILL ME to say, that Apple is better in this way... (Like theres not enough iphone only products)
[General Accessories] Adauth:
Beats anything are a gimmick. Not to mention overpriced and overrated.

I have some Rocketfish BT headphones that work great and cost less than half of what most Beats wired headphones will cost you.
[General Accessories] Matrixiux:
I respect your view, but it did not answer my view..
[General Accessories] surfguitar38:
I don't think that there is any software that you can get that would make the buttons work because they are designed for an iphone.
[General Accessories] marcusc812:
Hi, I am going to buy a beats tour later on , and I am a EVO 3d user to, I realize that you are suffering a volume button non working problem, but I more want to know that is your beats tour's MIC is working well while you are having a phone talk.

Thanks
[General Accessories] Matrixiux:
I would give it 8/10 for the mic. When you try to use it, you would expect to work perefctly, but I heard complains over the other end of the call.. But i believe it might be due to the connection, couse I didnt had a chance to hear myself through the mic.. I think the mic is fine.. But I would recommend not to buy, unless u have an iPhone :D Becouse you get this feeling that all the money u paid, and yet cant use all of its features (Volume up/down Buttons)
[General Accessories] Kscheuher:
I wonder if this this going to be the case with every HTC phone :(
[General Accessories] thelastred:
the beats tour and ibeats control talk will not work on htc or any android phones. there is a android version called urbeats that have control talk for android phones can be found on att ,t mobile and sprint website.
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
Headset Button Controller is $3 for the app and has a free 2 week trial version. I've used it with great success to program the center button of iphone compatible headphones to also work for volume up, volume down, skipping tracks etc. For example, mine is such that a long press raises volume, while click then long press lowers volume. Decent work around solution.
[General Accessories] thelastred:
List of headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic

- urbeats

- htc beats solo

- Sony smart headset

- Nocs NS200H-001

Update as I found some more
[General Accessories] rty1701:
Nice!

Nice earbuds and Nice phone!:D
[General Accessories] Allanitomwesh:
There is a workaround to this that I saw.

Get Sony Ericsson buds that split at the middle where the buttons are. Dunno if you can get the half with buttons alone. Split it,then plug in your beats to the top half. Use the Ericsson buttons. Sorted. Also works with solo and studio headphones.
[General Accessories] thelastred:
Do you have a link for this &also they sell htc remote cable that work on solo studio
[General Accessories] Allanitomwesh:
Well,I saw it at Sony forums, dunno if I'll come across it again since I didn't comment on the exact thread,just read through.

I'll try and see.
[General Accessories] thelastred:
The only beats that will work are beats solo (htc version) beats wireless and urbeats (not ibeats).

You can make studios and if bought the iphone verion of solos work with htc if u buy the cable for it

Pm for the link for the cable.

If this helps give thanks
[General Accessories] twingle:
I would recommend to sell the beats and buy a bit better ones :P But of course i dont say those are bad! Just beats are a bit overpriced :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
Hi,

Here is a simple app to backup a copy of your EFS in .img format to your /sdcard folder. While it is not checked during runtime, root is required.

It's fairly basic at the moment, this being my first Android app ;)

Hope I can improve on this while I pick up more stuff about Android programming.

Special thanks to silow whom I learnt the commands for Galaxy Nexus EFS backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazy_ursache:
Useful application! But you definitely need to replace that black screen when app is making the backup many will tend to close the application believing that this is not working!

So if you use this now wait 3-4 minutes and will announce when backup is done!

And definitely you need to add the Restore EFS from backup option!:D

EDIT!

Will be something like kTool for GN!

We need this!Good work and good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcpq:
In market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
That's strange, you mean it doesn't display a progress dialog with a spinner for you?

Restore is easy to add but testing if it works is a bit tricky :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazy_ursache:
Nop no progress dialog with a spinner (tried 3 times)! Just black screen and then Backup done! Will reinstall and try again later!

EDIT!

Installed again and now it display a progress dialog with a spinner! Strange!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I get a pop up /w spinner for what it's worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hyperion82:

Works !

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkhShadow:
Would this work on nexus s?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incredulous:
What is the EFS backup for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkhShadow:
/esf is a very important partition that isn't backed up by nandroids(I think) that contains your IMEI (or the cmda version) and if lost/corrupted is very bad indeed

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allesmeglische:
Great work, but how can i restore the Backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcpq:
x2 :) thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
In what situation could this ever happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Not sure about the gnex, but on the i9100 it can happen randomly with a rom flash (rarely). Independent of rom or quality thereof.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Interesting, I've flashed many a ROM, mostly on HTC devices, and never had this issue. Is it a Samsung thing?

HTC, on the other hand, seems to have a knack for killing the MISC partition :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
I've also had an HTC (Desire), and never knew about this EFS partition (nor did I have any issues).

I am wondering though, if it does get corrupted, and we have a backup, can we restore the .img using Fastboot if we're unable to get back into Android to use this app to restore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkhShadow:
HTC phones don't have /efs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
So it's not really necessary, but Samsung went ahead and put it on there anyway, making sure that if it's modified/overwritten/corrupted the phone will become a paperweight? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkhShadow:
Phones still do boot with corrupted /efs, but you will have a generic IMEI and stuff probably won't work

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
So the question again: Why did Samsung put this somewhere where it can be so easily overwritten/corrupted/broken?
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
I've tried every AOSP Rom/Kernel variations and I can't get anything to stay USB 4g tethered for more then 5 minutes. Tshed was flying with stock CM7 USB tether and then all of the sudden doesn't work. I tried all AOSP Roms. And wired-tether 1.4 is what I use. Please help me out. I have this phone for another year and that's all I'm missing. Please help. A trick, known set up, etc maybe. Anything not to have to reset the app every 3-5 minutes or so. I can't believe I haven't seen this brought up lately? Is it only me?
[Thunderbolt General] icebear8:
Have u tried pda net?
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
Yeah u have to install software on every PC u wanna use and that kinda sucks but I still get the frequent resets and they're connection is pretty slow. I have to reset pdanet, wired-tether 1.4, etc. Every few minutes. I used watershed 1.2 cm7 stock USB tether and it worked beautifully for about a day and then nothing. So I flashed imo's kernel and stock tether doesn't work at all but I have to reset wired-tether 1.4 every 3-5 minutes or so.
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.
[Thunderbolt General] letzgostate:
I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
[Thunderbolt General] rayjd1650:
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
[Thunderbolt General] 4Gallovermyface:
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have

to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Have you considered the issue is not your device, but your PC?
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).

A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).

There were a few at work I tried and No good either.

Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
This could be big help. Im at work now but when I get home I will check into this more. Thanks so much. I can never get the built in USB tether to work from CM7. TShed's built in CM7 worked for a while then just cut out. The little name your connection from Win7 popped up but had no Internet at all. May be something to this. Thank you.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.
[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

RANT:

Now do you see how that "Thanks" button works? yareally is really trying to help me and has helped some, so I have hit the "Thanks".

That's how the "Thanks" button works.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] giobats:
Hi,

Some time ago, i have installed via NAND on my HD2 CyanogenMod-7-08312011-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN-v3.6.2-MAGLDR].

Last two weeks I have some problems.

I used to have a problem with sms messages-forced pin everytime i tried to read a message. I deleted all my messages and now it seems like working good.

Since last Monday I cannot enter gallery. It gives me a black screen. I tried everything.

So I thought to change Rom. Is it a good idea? I am very happy with the Rom I have but now that behaves like that maybe it'sbetter to change to a better & newer rom. But which one?

Thanx in advance.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Hi, my Xperia play has a kinda loose back of the screen plate, the part i point in the picture with a red arrow is different feeling, like a bit loose unlike the part i point with the blue arrow.

if i press the part of the backplate pointed with the blue arrow i dont feel any movement at all, but if i touch the part pointed by the red arrow i notice it is more away meaning more detached from the back of the screen than the other and if push it i can feel it moving to the position the other is.

so mi question is, is this normal, and could it cause any problems with normal use, the phone is new, i noticed it by accident.

Anyone please :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
If it's relatively new, call your provider and get it replaced. Should be under warrenty.

Also check to make sure theres no broken clips.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
can i tell if a clip is broken without openning the cell? i dont' think is is because it just like half cm that the side market in the red arrow is outter than the blue one, but i can push it foward unlike the blue arrow one that is still.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Heres a detailed photo of the problem, the part in the blue square is good and the part in the red square is kinda misaligned out of the frame (i can push it and it moves to the place it should be, but comes to this position when i stop pushing), could this be serious and possibly get worst or this is something that can normally happen normal can i continue using it without problems, i don't have warranty
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Is it in warrenty?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
no, do you think is something serious or i can continue using it normally?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
Nobody can really tell without actually getting it into their hands. To me, from the pictures, it looks ok to use. But without actually feeling how loose it is I can't say for sure.

Personally, without a warranty, I would continue to use it but just be careful when sliding it open and closed.

If you notice anything other than the loose backplate, then it is time to get it checked out. Eg, dimmed screen, lack of responsiveness to the touch screen etc. Especially around the area where it is loose.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
thanks, it's not realy loose just kinda moved half cm outwards of the frame, and it only moves if i push it down to where it is supposed to be. the other side cant be moved because its pressed against the frame, unlike this side.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
Yeah, just sounds like a broken clip all right. Like what you first though. I'd say you will be fine.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Thanks.

Could be but i dont feel any broken pieces moving inside, and i havent dropped the phone and i opened from its seal brand new.

but is this is the cause, you think this could have been caused by the plastic case, it's a trident one?

also, can clips be replaced easily by yourself, or the cell have to be serviced?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
No, it's more likely a clip that is actually attached to the casing. You are unlikely to hear anything as it would have fallen out long ago. They are quite small.

Eg, like the ones that hold the back of the phone in place.

I can't imagine a case would have done this. It's too.... internal, if you know what I mean. Is it possible it was like this when you bought it? It could have just been shipped badly or something. These things happen.

If it is what I think it is, then the casing itself would need to be replaced and that wouldn't be worth the money.

[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Hi i have a problem with Dial-a-phone.....

Back in august i got my Sensation and within a week it got 1 dead pixel, Bright green, right in the middle. I contacted DAP (dialaphone) within a fortnight of getting the device to report the fault to which i got told "we will contact you with a viable solution" Heard absolutely nothing... Today i woke up to another 3 dead pixels! All red which i believe means they are totally burnt out,Called DAP and got told "As you have had the device longer than 28 days it has to go in to repair at HTC" Personally i know what HTC UK are like, Slow and one hell of a dusty enviroment!

My question is..In the Sales of Goods Act it states..

"Faulty items reported within 6 months have to be

replaced

or

repaired (unless inconvenient)

by the retailer."

So are DAP just being dicks?Should i be getting a replacement as its really inconvenient for me to have no phone! The only bonus if its inconvenient i can claim compensation for it.
