i had tons of BSOD and other problems I had to deal with... and it is not even my default system...

So we can safely assume, there are circumstances which may trigger problems with any system.... it depends on how you use it ;)

Bugless program just does not exist, windows, mac, linux (android), hell even "hello world" program can contain hidden bugs through compiler
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Whine because of user error? Wow now I have seen everything. Also, in windows I can delete stuff from the c drive that has the same effect you just had and it is much easier to access the c drive than the TF's recovery.

So, if you forgot to zip your jeans, would you stop wearing jeans, or just the brand of jeans you forgot to zip?

Or would you blame yourself for your own mistakes and be more diligent with your zipper?

Sorry bro. Grow up... be more careful. Accept responsibility for mistakes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boliveira2:
Remember that this situation happened because of a reboot loop that was caused by a bug in the official firmware. If the reboots weren't happening, he would not do it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dm36415:
I was hesitant to upgrade because my TF101 was working perfectly with Prime 2.1.1, including my unique VPN requirements, but then I figured since I consistently make nandroid backups, have my data files on Dropbox (or wherever), I can always go back.

Long story short, VPN didn't work under ICS, I rolled back to Prime, but my data was gone!!! I checked my nandroid backups, and all of their data files were 0. Bummer.

Word to the wise, check your nandroid backups before relying on them.

All in all, (except for the VPN problem) ICS seems like a fine upgrade. Doesn't really get me anything I couldn't live without, but is does seem smoother and faster.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tripsyk:
You should always back up everything to am external source. Dropbox is an amazing thing. There is so much free cloud storage out there nowadays its insane. You could probably find 100gb+ for free if you took all of your storage and added it together.

Just take this as a warning to anyone who doesn't backup their stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SmokenAce:
Sorry but backup your stuff that way you don't waste time crying about lost data.I have upgraded Win OS from win 95 and never lost anything and BSOD are gone now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmac98:
I got an Xperia X10i from a friend in school. The only problem it had was that the battery was faulty (We tried a battery from an Xperia Play, worked perfectly top to bottom), so I went a head and bought a new battery. Now the phone will only vibrate and flash a green light. Then nothing, not even the Sony logo. I've to pull the battery out and shove it back it for it to start again. I've tried SEUS, FlashTool, and Repair Phone in PC Companion. They all download the ROM but won't do anything while installing and will eventually say it failed. So my question is, is there anyone else out there who experienced this and how did they fix it? Please help :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
You might wanna make sure the drivers are properly installed then start flashtool get the .71 baseband and stock gb rom from stickies if i remember well put them in the firmware folder then turn your device off plug it in the pc and quickly hold the back button until a green light shows up and keep holding it start the flashing process and let it do his job flash the rom and the baseband no orders preferred reboot you should have a stock working rom
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Let me know if it worked out :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmac98:
I tried that, checked the drivers, working grand and the following log happened in Flashtool:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
Strange, I'm in Ireland too. I've an Vodafone Ireland X10i I bought of a guy the other day and it has the very same problem, it just refuses to take the update from 2.1. I downloaded the Nordic 2.1 ftf file and it sticks at 7% and will not move after that. I've contacted Sony Ericsson support yesterday afternoon and I'm awaiting a reply.

I'm not complaining about buying the phone as I use an Xperia X10 anyway so if it can't be repaired I can use it for spare parts and I didn't pay a lot for the one that's broke.

Dmac98 have you contacted Sony Ericsson support? if not then maybe you should as the more people contact them about this problem the quicker they might get it sorted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmac98:
I emailed them this morning over it and they said use SEUS, as if I haven't tried that already. I really dont know what to do, I dont want an expensive paper weight teasing me whenever I go into my room
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
SEUS won't work I've already tried that. I just tried again to update via pc companion and it got to the very end then stopped. I'm gona keep trying, it just has to be fixable lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmac98:
Mine doesn't get any progress after download, when you turn your X10 on does it stay on the Bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
It dosent do anything, green led flashes phone vibrates and thats it, screen dosen't do anything
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmac98:
So we're in the exact same situation and you're doing better than me. I'm jealous. I've a funny feeling you actually have to have more than 50% (It sounds like more of a suggestion) but it's really hard to charge when it keeps on stopping. This things meant to be impossible lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
yeah I use this phone to charge the battery so its always over 50%. The update gets to about 97% then stops, by hook or by crook I'll get it sorted haha
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
No worries guys here is what you do upgrade to the latest flashtool or downgrade to another version this might sound stupid but it did work for me when i was in a similiar situation
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
Tried three different flash tools, still no joy :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
ok now this is reallly weird so try the following flash a 2.1 rom instead but before doing that can you confirm bein able to flash anything over flashtool ? Now try this process flash 2.1/2.3 whit correct basebands to do this click flash choose the baseband/rom and it will search for the xperia take off battery off phone and plug in usb mode and quickly insert battery whit back button being holded down i don't see a reason why it shouldn't flash correctly!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Hmm bootloader unlocked you think? Might be debugging or maybe not because his update probably failed halfway causing this? I know the x10 is not hard brickable whit locked bootloaders no clue about unlocked ones really running short on ideas ...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
Yeah, thats what I thought until I seen this post started by Dmac98 the problem is identical. Same country Ireland, same phones X10i, same network I think vodafone. I just think its strange lol. Thanks for your help though, just going to wait and see what se support will say I guess.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
no problem if they find out its bootloader unlocked then your screwed :/ as it voids its warranty.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
I don't think it is unlocked from loader version (wouldn't it begin with r not R?)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger00:
yeah I also noticed that today as I unlocked the bl on this phone a month ago. I'm convinced its the download fron SE thats the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaokollaa:
hi all, in this occasion I'll show how to get gps on ics, as many of us have this problem please excuse my speaking English is that everything I am translating on Google

0. I am not liable for damage occasioned your phone

1.Install the latest version of android gingerbread if you are in gingerbread just go outside of your house i get gps lock

3.Install the ics build of your choice using ODIN, I WILL RECOMMEND THIS ONE

THANXS TO sfhub

and with it YOU will have gps

if any one want to write this in better English it will be appreciated if you can send it to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
This has been mentioned a few times before...its an old Epic og trick. Its not fullproof as I and a few others have tried it. No dice....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob the plumber:
It worked pretty well for me. Not pinpoint, but close enough to actually use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puertoblack2003:
i always used this method ##GPSCLRX# and it works for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
That worked for me on my og evo, but has never worked for me on this beast.

It burns when I tapatalk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Yea my phone just hangs and never reboots. What rom did you have success on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zeinzu:
Wrong section. Your instructing people to flash an Epic Touch tar on the OG Epic. People who don't read before doing (which are common here) are going to brick their phones. Plus as far as I know I haven't heard many complaining about gps not working on cm9 for "our" device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RyleyinSTL:
Dude! This is an E4GT build, not for our phones. Bad English or not you screwed the pooch here.....sorry.

Edit: I see Z already covered this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Qbanitolaz:
Tried it and didn't work at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronny71:
The way it worked for me was on a EL29 Rom...you can be on any 29...if I remember right from what I read on a different thread...When I was on fb21...no GPS...Went into Recovery from there ...restored one of my old EL29 Roms...went outside got a lock on GPS...From there went back to restore...restored ICS fb21...when it booted up ...went back to GPS and got a lock instantly...So it worked for me with that method...:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup..an OG Epic trick that works for more people than it doesn't if clearing a GPS stats doesn't work. I didn't check the link in the OP but pay attention to what you are doing if you try it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
What are u talking about? This is the epic touch forum and he's linking to the.latest epic touch ics build. Who screwed the pooch here???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Pardon my french, but WTF are you two talking about?

Edit - LOL muscle and I must have seen this around the same time and thought the same thing. My phone rang though and I hadn't hit the submit button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
That's what I thought - now I'm really confused...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Either a few people were off of the mark or there was a quiet EDIT to fix it. I didn't check at first but things seem to be in order now
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Honestly not sure if its the phone or the OS Im tired of. Have been using my G2 for over a year, been using Android for the same amount of time (G2 was my first Android device). Lately I haven't been interested in trying any ROMs, none have really peaked my interest to be honest due to the little issues in them. Not sure what I should do from here......

End of small rant.:o

Anyone else feel the same way or am I alone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pulgoki:
I still love the phone but I am definitely getting a little bored with it. Same as with most things. After so long of use, it feels like it is time for something new. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] shure2:
I use MIUI and it seems the fastest and smoothest to me (probably as good as you can get on the hardware), so getting bored I try other ROMs but they aren't as smooth so I go back to MIUI. I think ICS might spice things up for a little while l, but I think an upgrade might help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
It's called "consumerism". Just use your DZ till it dies of a natural death >.>
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jonny4911:
i wasn't bored of it, i was simply tired of the lag, missed messages and genrally just the lack of RAM.

i took the plunge and moved to the desire HD (couldnt afford anything newer)

and i notice the difference in ram immediately, there are LOADS more apps open at once now, and everything just generally feels snappier. and even with all my apps open i have 100mb+ ram left, constantly,

it's a shame that the DZ didnt have more ram, because otherwise i think i could've stuck with it for so much longer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Damnit I thanked instead of quoting at first. Oh well.

It's "piqued," FYI.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Android_Monsters:
I still use mine all the time. I have ICS on it. And with supercharger it's plenty fast. And I can text sweet things to my gf much easier and quicker using the keyboard. That being said get a hercules and rock both.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
What's with all of these posts really...If you're "tired" of the phone go buy another one and use this as a backup. A lot of people do it lately.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Still love my phone since the day I got it. Reliable and tough, stylish and sleek. I do look forward to an upgrade, but it's not something that i'm set my heart to. Can't really beat the DZ =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Can someone just lock this post? It's so silly to post stuff like this.

If you're tired of it, then get a new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] otariq:
g2 has been an awesome phone especially for my first Android phone but I can't wait for the next g series or maybe I'll try out the gnex. Contracts not up till October so hopefully there'll be something cool out then
[G2 and Desire Z General] wiswis:
After a year of using something u naturally get bored of it but if ur that boored of it try getting a mytouch4gslide

Sent from my Htc Doubleshot running ICS
[G2 and Desire Z General] angr1112:
Not bored,

I recently tried a few things to give my G2 a different look and feel. Here's what I have:

meXdroidMod Atomic ROM -- been using meXdroidMod for awhile now

GO Launcher EX ICS theme -- cool screen transitions, my favorite is sphere

GO Locker -- ICS style, and I don't have date and time showing

GO SMS Pro -- I have had this for awhile

GO Weather -- besides HD video background, I like the Temperature Trend among some of the other features

With a couple of apps and also creating shortcuts to access them easily and quickly, i find my G2 very useful and not boring. Now if only I had a bigger screen...
[G2 and Desire Z General] alpha-niner64:
I never understood this emotion where people get bored of things and feel the need to get the newest stuff. To me, the G2 is a solid device and the only time I would ever think of changing is out of necessity: not so much boredom. If I needed a faster GPU or a larger screen or better speakers and so forth: I can definitely understand the decision then because you have a practical purpose for the future device. But to be bored of a device and wanting to upgrade for no other reason because of it is exactly what companies want you to do. convolution put it best, "consumerism", but I would also add the word "affluence" as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Lol you must be delusional. This is a great phone, but as soon as I find a nexus s I'm going back. Not only is the phone faster in both the CPU and gpu department, the wolfson sound chip is a god send for music lovers (the g2 can't power my 120$ Sony earbuds and as a result aren't as loud/bass cuts out at low frequencies) , you can't beat the samoled screen (after a little tweaking with voodoo colors it gives a better pq than my 40" ex400) and to top it off ics is smooth as a gyroscope. I can't tell a difference scrolling around home screens and menus compared to my buddies gnex. Dev support is off the charts. IMO the nexus s is the device to have over a gnex or gs2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Ill tell you what though. This battery life is AMAZING. Running ilwt cm7 @1.3 ghz ondemand with backround data on.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Critical Jeff:
truth, it must be quoted. I've yet to see a newer phone with all the qualities I want in a phone. I'm extremely lucky that I got this phone with my family's contract, I had no idea of the developer support behind it when I did choose it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] michuo:
G2 is my first android device too. And also one year I have been using it. I love my G2 just because it my "first time". I've tried almost every Rom from xda. And now using sense 3.5. But, frankly speaking, I'm considering t buy a new better one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alpha-niner64:
Wow, that audio chip intrigues me. I primarily use my phone as a music player at the gym and I like my music loud. However I get distortion when I try to adjust the frequencies past a certain point. Is this Wolfson chip a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Yes believe be it is. With voodoo sound app you can push the sound chip another 15 decibels past what Sammy sets it at stock. So you can power low impebdance high quality buds or cans with audio quality thats crystal clear. Don't get me wrong the g2 isn't a piece of crap, but for me its just "good enough". The wolfson chip has introduced many sounds and effects laid in the background music I've never heard before. The wolfson dac is in all of the galaxy s phones btw. Not sure about the gnex.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amp:
This MWC showed no apparent successor to the G2. I expect G2 like material, thin with stiff slide keyboard, minimum 720p resolution, native ICS of course, S4 processor and plenty of dev support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
Seriously, affective dependance of hardware, is a disease.

Especially if you get bored by a 1year and half phone and comment about it in a thread.

Do like me, get a big hobby that it takes all your time and money : cars!
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
What you need to understand is that this is a PUBLIC forums full of people with their own opinions and thoughts. If you don't like what you're reading, don't contribute. Don't poop on our party. Just makes you look like massive trolls. I've had my g2 for about 4 days now. It was a massive step back from my nexus s and I'm personally tired of it already. See? That's an opinion. Everyone has them. Learn to live with it k?
[G2 and Desire Z General] prototype2:
Still love mine. I switched to the iphone about a year ago and came back to the g2 again. Some reason, I just love the keyboard and the looks of it. I could of bought a Sensation, Amaze, etc but I prefer the G2 for now. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gab1288:
Install the MIUI rom, it changes a bit the way to use the phone and gives a new perspective.

There's always the DoubleShot if you're bored

sent via a Phone Booth
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Doubleshot?

I still like this phone a lot. I've never gotten such amazing battery life. I went 26 hours yesterday. :) but I like tech toys and I played with this phone enough when it released and I was working at radioshack. I'm looking forward to the galaxyy s3 if I don't pick up a gnex soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I'd wait for SGIII or HTC One X. It would be a bad move to get the gnex so late when the big ones are out in sprint/summer. Might as well tough it out at this point....
[G2 and Desire Z General] tep065:
I agree with that, both those phone sound amazing in terms of specs..I don't recall exactly, but doesn't one of them support HDMI out? That would be a big selling point for neon top of those phone's specs. I've been out of contract since October waiting for something exceptional to come along for tmobile and one of those seem like a good upgrade for me. Will miss the keyboard though...
[G2 and Desire Z General] terminal addict:
I wouldn't say that I'm bored with my G2. In fact, I am very happy with it. I find that it's stable, has decent battery life, and runs most of the apps I want the way I want.

I have to say "most" because there are two hardware features that I really wish the G2 had that could enable some nice software capabilities.

1) Front-facing camera: Sure, I can get Skype and G+ to use the rear camera, and they can do the job sometimes, but I wish there was another camera on the front.

2) HDMI out. This one isn't what I would call critical. In fact what I would really like is an app that would let me wirelessly stream the framebuffer to a remote computer at a decent framerate.

I watched the announcements from CES and MWC, and it really doesn't look like there is anything coming down the pipe (T-Mobile/Wind Mobile compatible) that has everything the G2 has, plus those two features.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
What YOU need to understand is these stupid posts appear all the time because someone feels the need to justify buying a new phone. If you want to buy a new phone, then go buy it. No one is telling you that because you're bored of it you must never buy a newer and/or better phone.

Opinions are like ***holes, everyone's got them and more often it's annoying to hear (or in this case: read) their whinings about it. You don't like it, make the change, but crying around will not suddenly make the phone more interesting nor will it make you get a special discount for QQing in the forums to buy a new phone.

You don't like my opinion? Then I suggest you take what you said and apply it to yourself: "Learn to live with it k?"

TLDR Version: Cry some more. You don't like it, then don't reply back to me. That's MY opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Lol sounds to me like you're the one who's crying. No matter your pov youre the minority in this thread. So is your hair purple, troll? I'm a massive asshole and have been banned before for putting little fags like you in your place. Naoh crymore troll cuz that's what you are. A troll.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
lol, sounds like you're just hurt from being banned. You're welcome to continue lashing out though, I don't really care.

p.s: sick of hearing people whine does not mean i'm crying about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I totally get what you're saying but I think people felt like you were dumping on the G2/Desire Z, that's all...

Guys please no more fighting. No one needs to get into trouble over such petty stuff. You both seem like respectable members here so can we end this before the mods get pissed? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBDub:
Now that's a testament to the G2! 26 hours of battery life in a day! :D
