[HTC Inspire 4G] BigMatza:
I just bought a used Inspire without a volume button. I can easily "push" up and down by simply using a pair of tweezers. But I really hate to carry tweezers around with me, and I want to fix the problem.

Before I order a new volume button, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light, based on the attached picture. Basically, I need to know if the "feet" on the replacement volume button are conductors that act as a jumper, or if they apply pressure to some additional conductor I might also be missing.

From the pictures I've seen of the replacement volume buttons, it looks like the "feet" are made of black plastic. I just hope I'm wrong, and it's some sort of metal conductor (thus making the repair simple).

Help is much appreciated!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Try using a toothpick or plastic fork to test your question...

EDIT: Dont know if i need to but the reason for the test is the use of a non-conductive surface... If the volume works with said media, then the "feet" are gonna be rigid plastic...
[HTC Inspire 4G] BigMatza:
I am Jack's sudden embarrassment.

What look like metal contacts are not at all. They are simply buttons. All the conducting is done beneath what's seen in the picture. The two end "holes" in the picture do nothing but secure the button. I was able to simply push on the either of the inner "holes" (buttons) with a toothpick to change the volume up/down. I guess the tweezers weren't doing anything special after all.

So now all I need is the replacement volume button. Great news.

Thanks for helping me see outside the box on this one!

Does anyone know if it possible to disable the audio controls on the pattern lock screen?

I've had a good look around and I can't find anything about this.

Having the "Owner information" is all well and good, but if I loose my phone when the audio controls are showing then that information isn't shown.

Thanks in advanced to anyone who know how to disable this handy feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] conman123:
Hola 3D users, Just bought a HTC Evo 3D the other night off craigslist. At first the seller seemed pretty legit as we meet at a QT ( local gas station ) here in Tulsa,OK. Long story short, this phone is currently being used but not in service meaning they either forgot to pay the phone bill, or they cancel the account. Either way, i just got screwed out 180 bones. Yes i took a shot in the dark , but i was posting on here to see if there is ANY OTHER WAY BY ANY MEANS to get this working. Thanks for your time.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
If he sold you the phone, then it's likely he wanted to cancel the service on it. Otherwise, you'd be using his number and what not. As long as it has a clean ESN, you can take it to the sprint store and get it activated. Tell them you bought it from someone who is no longer with Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
If you have a bad ESN, there's nothing you can do to get it working on Sprint. They won't do it. You'll only be able to flash it to Metro PCS. I would try and get back in contact with the seller. You should ALWAYS check the ESN status before you hand over the money.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I think your only alternative is to flash to cricket or boost, or sell it on eBay with a bad esn. You can probably get your money back.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
If they cancel their Sprint account, the ESN is still clean. Bad ESN's come from theft and what not I believe.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
...and delinquent accounts.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Ha...yeah you're ****ed dude. Sell that **** on Ebay or Craigslist. Don't rip anyone off though. Karma is *****. Being nice got me my Xoom in a trade.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Yep, not much you can do. Remember, NEVER trust people haha. Seriously though, I don't understand why people buy phones in random locations. Just meet the seller at the Sprint (Verizon, at&t etc) store and swap it right there.

The only thing you can do is contact the seller and see if they are willing to buy it back, or pay off their bill. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to make them do this, and since they obviously were trying to screw you in the first place, I highly doubt they will do the right thing and pay off their bill.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
There is so much irony in the ops name.

S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
[HTC EVO 3D] conman123:
Unfortunately, the buyer has ignored all my phone calls , texts, etc. This really sucks because the phone is in amazingly good shape, as well as it was a upgrade in my postion going from the 4G to 3D. Good news, i think i can manage to switch to Metro PCS. On that note, can anyone speak on behalf of Metro as far as service, signal. I see Metro is a pay-as-you-go, but i wanna make sure its a soild service. As well as good 4G. Thanks again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] valiymt:
Not sure if anyone tried this ..

take a skyrocket ICS build use one of the TMO kernals .. will that work ?

Do i need to flash radio later ?

Thanks :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
afaik gingerbread kernels don't work for ICS roms, not to mention none of the ICS builds for the SR are stable enough to be used as a DD anyway. Though you can flash them with the SR kernel, you just won't have proper rotation just turn off auto rotation though and no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] valiymt:
How about Gingerbread roms on Skyrocket on TMO

Thanks ...

Ok So we dont have ICS kernel ...

Since it looks in TMO we have choice betw slick mod and jaugg ( love rom control ) and Darkside .. only :(

I was thinking if i put a SKyrocket build on the phone .. will the radio get flashed as well ? any adverse affect that way ?

Thanks Again for a quick response
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
I've never had to flash the radio, whatever baseband that is on your phone now should be there after the flash. There is however a radio thread in the development section if you wanted to try a different one. There should be no negative effects to flashing a different radio (I have yet to encounter one anyway) so find the one that works best for you. Also, if you wanted to try a good rom, Master&Slave makes a couple of deadly ones. Paradox and Tuesday are the names and they are ridiculously smooth, I just had to use setcpu to turn the clocks down a bit though i'm not sure if it was an error i made or if M&S has them cranked to begin with.

[HTC Sensation] lebdiabolic:
I use the HTC Sensation XE

GREAT PHONE! I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab and tried the Iphone and the Motorolla Razr. and find the HTC to be simply the best.

At first my battery was draining fast but now I see an improved duration after having it fully discharge and charge 4 or 5 times.

I use email check every 5 min, wifi and bluetooth always on, along with the HSPDA network.

Anyway, I have just one "hicup". The stock email client is very good but I cant find the option to "search" for an email by sender or subject... Have I missed something?

The phone numbers are not recognized, that's weird: all of them are in the phone book under " + country code and phone number"

But i receive calls without the country code and without the name of the associated number. I also receive messages from known people when their number is registered with the country code and unknown when they are registered without the country code....

Which means it needs the country code to recognize the sender of a message but they call, they are not recognized because their number rings without the country code :confused: :confused: :confused:

Any help?

If you found an interesting boot animation but it isn't compatible to our resolution, you can change it! Or I can help you change it.

Our device resolutions : 240 x 320 pixels.

Here is an application which can create a boot animation from images:

-Boot Animation Creator

-Boot Animation Previewer

If you want to understand more how it works:

Help Me

I found a cool bootanimation and changed the resolution but after zipping it up it was of 7.3 mb. When I applied it and rebooted I got to A N D R O I D screen and then there is just a black screen and then lock screen. So instead of bootanimation I got a black screen. Please help:confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
You might want to try the applications I mentioned above. The bootanimation creator and bootanimation previewer.

if you're using CyanogenMod ROM, it's very recommended to try it first before really using it. You can try it via CyanogenMod Settings -> interface -> on boot animation choose preview then choose the bootanimation zip file.

if you want to do this manually, check this link. You would understand about the desc.txt. This is a vital part of the boot animation.

Could you pls make the penzil bootanimation for cm7 too?? Would be awesome!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] droidface:
How to use it on emanon v5?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
you can go to cyanogenmod settings -> interface -> look at boot animation tag -> preview. then you choose the bootanimation (the zip file) to see the preview. if the preview goes well, then you tap on 'Choose' and choose the bootanimation (the zip file).

first, I don't know about EmanoN v5. never use it. but you can try this.

syarat:

Root

install Root explorer (ato app yg mirip)

rename file yang agan donlod menjadi bootanimation.zip

1. put the bootanimation file to sd card.

2. go to system/bin. find a file named 'samsungloop'. move it somewhere else (for backup).

3. rename the bootanimation file to 'samsungloop'. place it inside system/bin.

4. move the bootanimation zip file to system/media

5. rename the extention file on system/media from qmg to qm.

6. reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Radu_Stancu:
Could you port the ICS boot animation for our device?

It would be much apreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Radu_Stancu:
Thanks a lot man. I will check it out .
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] examiner:
can i use this on galaxy mini 2.3.6 XWKTh..rooted?and what is the procedure?thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
You just need root explorer (must rooted first).

Go to /system/media. you'll find 'bootanimation.zip'. Make a backup of this file if you want.

Download the bootanimation you like, and rename the zip file to 'bootanimation.zip'.

Copy the new bootanimation.zip to /system/media. don't forget to mount r/w so you can change system folder.

Now, reboot. You'll see the new bootanimation.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] examiner:
i dont see boot animation.zip in the system media..i just see samsungloop.qmg etc...i follow the other instruction in the other forum like deleting samsungani at rename the bootaniamtion to samsungani in the system/bin..and put the bootanimation in the system media..i follow that and rebbot...after that it open the boot animation and stuck in there,ive waited 20 minutes and nothing happpen..i made the back up so now its ok..i just want to try again...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
I've found in somewhere said that the bootanimation may be in /data/local.

try to check it.

if you can't find it. try to Search it in Root Explorer.

Menu -> Search -> Type 'bootanimation'. gonna take some time because it search the whole place.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] examiner:
i dont found any the boot animation..all i see in the system/media are bootsamsung.qmg,bootsamsungloop.qmg,audio and video folder.i try to search the boot animation,and i dont found.all i see in the data/local folder is the tmp folder..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
I've found that changing bootanimation on stock ROM kinda tricky.

but I found the trick, do it with your own risk.

try this:

1. Rename the downloaded file to 'bootanimation.zip'

2. Put on your SD Card

3. Open Root Explore go to system/bin

4. Find samsungloop, then move them to another folder

5. Copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media

6. In folder /system/media rename all files *.qmg to *.qm (bootsamsung.qmg & bootsamsungloop.qmg)

7. Reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] examiner:
sir i dont see any samsungloop...i see only samsungani and boot animation...

Bootanimation disappeared?

The BA posted so far are really cool but...I can't download them!

I receive 404 error when I try to gain access to the dropbox account...Lonestrider, may you check the links? Thanks in adive! :)

p.s.: since I'm using CM7.2.0 rc0 by Mebitek, I got an original file manager installed on my Lil'G..may I use that for installing the new BA?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
Ouch... sorry...

I'll fix the link in a few hours.

check your cyanogenmod settings -> interface -> there should be a boot animation tag. that's the easiest way to change boot animation with cyanogenmod.:D

edit:

Download link fixed, sir! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] slimhunter:
First of all, thanks a lot, I'm a step closer to a brand new boot animation! :D

I'm checking right now the path you've suggested me but I don't have anything related to the boot animation :eek:

If I go to Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Interface all I see are tweaks about power prompt, notification power widget, status bar, render and overscrolling...do you (or someone else) know if this release has specific difference for I can't find this setting? This is driving me crazy :D

EDIT: I'm checking right now two desc.txt and I'm noticing there's only the string about the part0, while the tutorial linked in first post talks about the part1 too...is that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
okay, that means mebitek doesn't include the bootanimation changer there.

You need to check where the bootanimations placed.

check /system/media or /data/local

if you found a file named 'bootanimation.zip', simply make a back up of that file, rename your new bootanimation to 'bootanimation.zip' and copy your new boot animation there.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] slimhunter:
I wonder if it's possible to manually add the changer...it'd be very useful!

I've checked and found bootanimation.zip in /system/media, I've renamed ba_ics.zip to bootanimation.zip and moved it in the path above...fingers crossed, I'll tell you if it works :p

UPDATE: this is simply fantastic! *__* For installing the .zip file I've used the ES File manager (for italians: nel market si chiama ES gestore file), correctly set up for accessing the sys root. Everything ok then, keep up the good work!

Yup. Rumor has it, that is why it wasnt announced at MWC. Samsung is planning on launching it worldwide on the same date.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Well, if you want to believe the rumors, Samsung is going to try mighty hard to have as close to a simultaneous international release as possible, which would be a pretty smart move. They've definitely built up some brand recognition with the galaxy series (possibly the most out current android models), and such a move would help further that.

Of course, that's if you believe the rumor mill.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sheldon_:
Yes its a rumor but makes complete sense
