[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
hey guys i searched and havent really found anything that matched quite what i had going on so here we go... I was 95 percent through flashing the ICS rom it got through the hboot section and rebooted.. on the screen i saw two arrows in circular form above a phone .. and something was definitely being downloaded.. then the phone went black, doesnt go into hboot, doesnt a charging light when plugged in , but is picked up by the computer, ie. connection noise. Im in no way a noob at flashing roms , but something is definitely wrong with my phone.. Any ideas? It was charged full battery by the way.. it does glow in a dull light when i push volume down and power, or power alone...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roc_vader:
Your phone indeed seems to be bricked. The identification noise from the computer may just mean that your USB is receiving power from the battery.

When my friend had a similar problem with his Amaze, he went to the HTC service center and they replaced his phone after keeping it for 4 days
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
So taking it to bestbuy to get it serviced is probably the only alternative, since its insured through them... lol just my luck
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
I brick mines as well. If you love your device stay away ics for now .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flippage:
That's not fair to say. There's plenty of users that flashed without bricking their devices.

I followed the alternate directions here and had no issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] meatwad0222:
Dxtra...I was able to do it no problems...saying to stay away is not at all accurate unless u cannot fully comprehend the instructions...never tell ppl to shy away from improvements because u urself did not succeed just offer warning...it is the linux way
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
I'm not the only one with a brick device, there's plenty more on here. Our phone is a pretty expensive device if you got the money and you want to take the risk go ahead. Why would I tell anyone to flash when is not safe to.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
Not sure why you keep posting it's not safe. I think I've seen like 3 people who've screwed it up out of probably 100+ installs. PirateGhost has released an ICS RUU which is completely noob proof so even unrooted users can get some ICS love before the OTA update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
As far as im concerned each one of us is responsible for what happens to our phones, warnings are put for a reason.. ive jailbroken, rooted the hardest of phones .. it was just my time for the inevitable to happen. I get my phone back in three days and you can be sure ill be back here again doing crazy rooty stuff to my phone :) no rom or dev should be held responsible for what ive done ..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
Saying something is noob proof will inevitably prove that some where some noob will sow its not noob proof. I'll admit there were a few moments of panic when I flashed the zip method pg released. When that happened I just breathed deep and took my time and everything worked great in the end. I personally feel that what the devs have put out there is fairly safe as long as the directions are followed exactly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] meatwad0222:
I don't have the money to buy tons of new devices....its about knowing ur own limitations...do not criticise a devs hard work when it is proven to work...no its defenitly not idiot proof but it is very easy...I've done it to 3 phones already with no problems...the devs are not responsible for bricked phones
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
yea i must say it was a hundreed percent my fault in bricking my device so im not mad at anyone..and as far as the money goes its not a super big deal..i always make more:) o and btw im gonna be getting my replacement today and im gonna try this all again:) aft6er reading everything again and again and agian o and again lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bsSkunkApe:
So, the phone is bricked. I have the same problem as the OP. I Lost access to Hboot while flashing ICS. I accidently sent it to recovery after Hboot update...and it never recovered LOL. Anyone know a good de-bricking service or know how much it will cost if I send it back to HTC or AT&t to fix it? I bought mine at the AT&T store, so no protection plan. I'm gonna get another device anyway (from Best Buy this time), but it would be great to have the Vivid back as a backup.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shackman716:
I bricked my phone Sunday night, still not 100% sure what I did wrong but it did what yours is doing now. I simply called the AT&T exchange by mail and used the factory warranty. Granted I guess there is a slight chance they could find out it was rooted (if they can somehow get it to recover or even turn on) but it got me a replacement... Food for thought.

Btw I got the new one and used the RUU and it worked seamlessly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I did the same thing, selected recovery right after successful HBoot update. Then afterwards, each and every restart shows searching sd card with a black background. After several attempts of pulling battery, reinsert and power button + vol down, I was able to get back into HBoot. From there I immediately flash recovery through fastboot and now am happily on ICS.

If you did the same and phone boots up with the searching sd screen, there is a shot of bring it back.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bsSkunkApe:
Fraid it doesn't search for anything. I posted in the threads and tried everything I could think of and everything that was suggested. Though there isn't much you can do besides keep removing the battery and trying vol dn + pwr. Just a black screen.

Just a few things I tried (removed battery each time)- vol down + power (no sd card in) = blank black screen

vol down + power (with sd card and PH39IMG file) = blank black screen

vol down + power > boots to blank black screen, wait few seconds > press power button (like I'm going to fastboot) > plug into computer > type fastboot command into command prompt = command prompt says waiting for device

I always read the directions and threads a bunch of times before doing anything. Did lots of reading, google-ing, and searching. Fraid it bit the dust. I appreciate the help though.:) This is the first device snafu I've had. I've never had to send a phone in for any kind of warrantee work before. Hence my question above about getting it fixed.

Just in case, if it were to boot to that screen, what would I want to do? Just the PH39IMG? Or is there some other procedure?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mpicasso:
Who TOLD you to flash the phone??? :confused::eek::confused: When I got my first android phone, a Samsung Fascinate, I LOVED the phone but nervous AS HELL that I would brick the phone. And I read, and read, and REREAD, trying to make sure I understood everything so that when I went looking for help, I at least could say, "Yes, I already tried this, this, and this".

I think the key thing to all of this is in two-fold - one, as someone stated before, this is a developer's forum. If you work on your car, and forgot to put oil in it, are you going to blame your mechanic? If you change your brakes and did not do something correctly, causing an accident, are you going to blame the car manufacturer??? Two, it states in MANY places, before you post, READ, READ, READ. It was actually ADVISED to NOT FLASH this ROM...

From this point forward, it almost seems as if there needs to be a waiver release to download roms, stating you will not ridicule nor torment the developers. And though I had heard about it but never seen it before, as I am on my 4th Android phone, there definitely are a few VERY NOTICEABLE disrespectful and ungrateful individuals in this forum. If you were my kid, and acted like that to me for something I GAVE YOU, I would do the same as PG - TAKE IT WAY and forget you.

hello i was wondering if anyone could make a black theme with blue accenting. ive looked and all i could find were themes of just the notifications bar. i also tried to do it myself but despite the tutorials, i still had no idea what i was doing haha. anyways let me know if you guys find one i missed or if you make one :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dani_j:
Kinda sucks for a first post but I had to do it someday. Been browsing this place for more than a year.

I'm on a Canadian carrier (Videotron) and many of you know that with some phones, like the MT4G (Panache) un less you use a sense ROM, you will have issues with the VM notification (MIUI and some others). The bug is simple if you look at the system info, the field ''my phone number'' is unknown instead of displaying your actual number. On the CM7 builds the issue is the same but it can be fixed manually. But some ROMS like MIUI, you are unable to get this damn thing to work.

I found a fix that I would love to try but unfortunately, I have no clue how to flash it. I went trough so many treads and pages and never read anything on how to fix it. there are tons on unanswered question.

The big question is : how can I flash this on MIUI? http:..review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11318

It's a script to *fix* the VM notification. I tried installing the zip trough recovery but it failed. I tried running the java script trough ''Script Manager'' but it fails (Syntax error). Both attempts are from the SD card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
This is no script. This is a Java source file fix, which requires recompilation of telephony service, which lies inside the framework - so the whole framework needs to be recompiled.

You have 2 ways of achieving it:

1) Recompile MIUI source code.

2) Decompile MIUI framework, convert the fix code into smali format and merge into decompiled framework, recompile the framework.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dani_j:
ouch. Sounds prety much out of my league for now. Got a lot of reading to do before I'm able to do that lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You could open a bug to MIUI team, asking them to integrate support, and point them to CM git that you posted. I believe they'll integrate in sooner or later.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dani_j:
Thnx for the advice. I will give it a shot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
So,

Today I was messing around with GO Launcher EX and GO Locker, and I didn't like the performance, at all...so I did a search and found an app called spare parts that was supposed to help the animation speed, after a while of messing around, I noticed that my display wasn't nearly as bright as it was an hour ago. I checked and made sure that the display brightness setting was set to 100%, and that auto-adjust screen power was turned off, and the display was still about half as bright as when I started today.

How can I test if I messed something up? Or is this normal for a AMOLED display? Is there an app I can download that will force the brightness to go to 100%, to see if some app is messing with it? What the heck is going on.

Emmmmmooooo rrraaagggeee!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
So I got a app that controls brightness , and in fact confirmed that the default controls were only boosting brightness to around 80 percent. What can affect the settings like this? Using automatic brightness, or changing the brightness through anything but this app leaves the screen dimmer than it normally is. I can't even use the touchwiz settings widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Interesting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
So, to further report on this odd behavior,

After further investigation, the brightness with auto-brightness seemingly drops light output further than the "0" setting in my brightness app, and further than the slider allows manually adjusting via the settings>display panel. Odd.

So,

I disabled all auto-brightness via the settings in the TouchWhiz apps (read: the browser and the video/audio player), and was just controlling brightness via the app I installed.

Later today, i turned on auto-brightness again via the Power Saving widget, and the issue where the screen dims farther than any manual settings allowed was gone. Again, i only have an issue with max brightness now-- using both the system settings panel to adjust brightness as well as using auto-brightness via both the power saving widget as well as the system settings panel.

So, in summary: the max brightness issue remains, and i can only set it to about 80% without using the brightness app i installed (the app allows me to set it to 100%....where as in the system settings, the slider goes to 100%, and stays at 100%, but the screen looks like its at about 80%. Using the brightness app i installed allows me to boost it back to 100%, but as soon as i change the brightness in the system settings app, or the power saving widget, it maxes out at 80. The slider moves all the way to 100%, but i'm only getting 80% brightness).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Note:

I have no apps installed that affect brightness...0. None of my apps have anything remotely having to do with the display, audio, or it's settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nomoiphone:
Maybe you can help me?

I turned off the auto brightness in the system settings/display/brightness but it seems that the screen starts to dim (sometimes). I hate this...I have to touch the screen to retain brightness. I don't want auto dimming...I want the level I set (which is about half way on the slider).

Where can I find a master override?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
Adjust screen timeout. This happens when your screen is going to automatically turn off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nomoiphone:
Thanks... I'll check it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Also in display settings uncheck "auto adjust screen power"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
Was there ever a solution to this? I am now starting to get this issue of screen will not respond to 100% brightness...and the option to change display brightness is greyed out in settings. It seems to be a problem with 'power savings' which I would like to completely remove from my phone as even when I turn it off, it is keeping me from adjusting my screen brightness when below 20% battery...and with my 5400 mah battery 20% is a full 8 hour day left...really irritating...only way to solve is to charge above 20%...or go enable power savings, then disable it again...but problem returns every time the screen goes off.

Can u mod lockscreen so that it hides notification bar
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] sweetnsour:
No worries :)

I didn't make this thread to conflict yours. I made it for the lockscreen rotation. I just included the navigation bar for those who wanted both the lockscreen rotation and the navigation bar, and also for those who would like to revert back to it.

Do you know what file/line controls the notification bar? Because I've tried looking for it but I couldn't find anything.

May be u can check systemUI.apk.there might be something

Im looking to buy a Digital SLR Camera. I am looking for something in the $500 area. I need opinions as to which camera to get. I need it to get extra clear shots indoors and outdoors. As my newborn grows up it will be very difficult to get a picture of him steady so i need a fast camera. Also burst mode will be very good. I want HD video which in that price range pretty much all of them have it.

Right now after some research i am between the cameras below:

[Off-topic] jaszek:
That camera is the same as the T3i, without an articulating screen
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
Since there's plenty of cam reviews out there to help you make your decision on the cam body, I thought I would offer a few other pointers:

- Get an external flash unit that you can rotate to bounce the flash. This works wonders for your indoor shots. Plus, it won't blind your child like the built-in flash would.

- Get a zoom lens. My usual lens of choice is the Nikkor 35mm. But once my son learned how to crawl, it was impossible to shoot with that lens. Once he saw the camera, he would be fascinated by it and would crawl towards me trying to take the cam. I have to resort to shooting from afar with the Nikkor 55-200mm.
[Off-topic] dexter93:
The t2i is probably the best in the canon field. The cheaper ones (canon) have a body of really cheap and fake plastic. Else go for Nikon. D3100,or d5100 . By far better and ergonomic body

He said 500$. That's about a d90 body only. The d7000,and d300/s are over 1.000$ . The guy just wants a cam to take good pics, not become a pro. With a d5100 and the 18-55vr /18-105vr he'll be fine
[Off-topic] greeky510:
Damn it. Ive been viewing reviews all day on youtube and on different websites trying to decide which one to get. I cant seem to make up my mind. So far i'm sold on that Canon T2i. Later today or tomorrow i will go to Best Buy with an SD card and play with the DSLRs there.
