[HTC Rezound] jazzyjames:
The real question is does it work in 100% stock Gingerbread no custom anything. If it does work then it could be a app or the kernel if it doesn't work then its hardware.

How is this such a hard concept for people to grasp?
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
If you look at my op I was on 100% stock gingerbread other than a kernel. If everyone has the same problem, yes it is hardware related, but it is a design flaw. It is unlikely that everyone who posted has a bad proximity sensor.
[HTC Rezound] jazzyjames:
Yes I did read and as you just posted your not on 100% pure stock. You said stock rom, but never said stock ics or gingerbread but like I said best way to test is go 100% stock no mods at all and even go the route of no extra apps, it may seem extreme but its crazy all apps that can cause issues.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
Here is the real question. Does your screen always go off when you cover the sensor. Mine does not. I have to try several times, and when it finally does turn off, it only sometimes comes back on. other times, I have to press the power button. Who else is experiencing this?
[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
Mine acts as if it had no proximity sensor at all. Programs say it does, but it always reads that something is zero cm. away from it... power button is the only way I've found to turn the screen back on.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I bet a lot of HTC phones have this issue. When I searched the number for this sensor, a lot of their phones came up as results. I think we are all running bugged hardware.

Whats the best extended battery with NFC?

Do the 3800mah ones have NFC?

for all the guys that flash roms all the time. i have one game (drag racing) that i play all the time. when you wipe system data and flash a new rom what is the best way to reastore app data? i hate having to start over all the time. i know i have read that titanium backup causes issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Read my guide.

Generally App data isn't a huge culprit, system rather, IS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Titanium backup. Back up the app and data. Copy the backup file to your pc, rom your phone reinstall the game, copy the backup data from your pc to your phone and restore just the app data in titanium. I have to do it all the time for my girlfriend's smurf game! Good luck.

I've been lurking on xda for a few months now, so i'm pretty familiar with the layout, especially threads/sections pertaining to specific devices i'm interested in. However, for those who are not so familiar with the site, or even those who would like to find a specific device forum that they have never visited, would it not be helpful to have the device-forum section organized in a more logical/intuitive way? Alphabetical order by device manufacturer makes sense. Just a suggestion. Love xda, and thanks for all the help/support.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastcomms:
I have a Dell Streak which is on O2 (UK). Sometimes it will boot up and randomly turn off, and other times it reaches the O2 logo and then reboots. The battery works fine in another Dell Streak, so it's definitely a handset problem.

I tried updating the software (still on version 1, says version 2 is available), but it takes me to Dell's site and then tries to load Google's terms and has "%locale%" in the middle of the URL, which suggests to me the device doesn't know its own locale. I tried replacing %locale% with 'GB' and sure enough it loaded the page.

I have tried holding both volume buttons and powering it on, selected Factory Reset, which then shows the temporary white screen and tries to reboot, but then I just get a blank screen constantly.

Is the next step trying a reflash via USB? If so, is there any way I can flash it to O2 UK to retain the warranty?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
We have no way of telling you if it's under warranty withouth knowing when you bought it and what you have done to it.

But you need to flash the baseband files for your region then download the correct updated package for the baseband files you flashed, flash the ROM package and you should be good to go if you don't have a hardware problem. If you don't understand any of that, then you still have hours of reading to do
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastcomms:
The only joy I've had is installing the O2 recovery image that was first released. That allowed the phone to boot up again, which hasn't happened in the past few days.

Then, halfway through downloading the official update, it rebooted.

I get the feeling the only way I'll get this working is if the phone stays on long enough to install the update, which is proving to be difficult.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastcomms:
Still having issues!

Every time I try to install Update.pkg, the LEDs flash for a few seconds, then the phone cuts out.

I've read that this means the baseband doesn't match -- but I've installed the O2 recovery.img?

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
OK, you have flashed the o2 recovery image, so are you sure that you are trying to flash the 319 ROM because that's the latest 02 as far as I can tell
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastcomms:
I've flashed various recovery files and today I managed to keep the phone on long enough to realise the phone's build number is 3883 (it's still on 1.6 software).

So I put build 3883's recovery image on the phone and 3883's update.pkg on the memory card.

The phone starts flashing the update pkg and then turns off! I literally cannot flash this phone via memory card.

I've also tried other build versions to see if they'll flash (including the latest), but no joy.

Does this baseband make any difference? It's GAUSB1A110421-EU
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastcomms:
The intermittent nature of this device in unreal -- I can only assume it's hardware failure as it went from turning off intermittently, to not booting at all, and now it won't turn on whatsoever, even into fastboot mode.

[HTC Sensation] swedrows:
Hi All,

I have checked the forums and tried finding the answer to this but haven't had any luck. I was putting on one of those "military grade" screen protectors on my wife's Sensation 4G last night (the kind that you apply water to the back of and then place them on the screen). Long story short, the screen works now (after putting her phone in rice overnight) but the screen is fairly dim and it flickers a bit. I know I will have to replace the LCD portion of the screen since that's the only part that got some water on it from the screen protector application.

Question is, does it matter which LCD replacement screen i purchase from eBay? i have read a bunch of threads that the digitizers are specific and may not work correctly if you get the wrong one, but does that hold true for the LCD itself or can we simply buy any new LCD replacement screen from eBay and install it on the phone (the original digitizer will still be used since the touchscreen works fine).

Any help would be greatly appreciated...i feel like a dope for causing this by applying a screen protector, even though my G2x didn't have this problem at all after applying the same screen protector from the same seller.
[HTC Sensation] BuZzCoRe:
Sorry for bumping up an old topic, but I am interested in this too. Anyone can shed light to this matter please?

OP: Did you end up replacing your LCD? How did it go?
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
So hey you where installing a zagg screen protector?how much water did you put on the screen?
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
I still think those water application screen protectors are a ridiculous idea. Who's idea was it to use water on electronics?! Normal screen protectors do just as well. Make sure the lcd screen is the same physical size, pixel density, made specifically for the device, etc. Try pick the most reputable seller. But you WILL notice a difference in the screen, either colour, sharpness or response.

Hi all,

I've flashed rusty's CWM, temasek's kang and vadonka's kernel all in a row... unfortunately now when I plug my O2X to my PC it's not recognized :( It appears in device manager with the yellow exclamation marks and I can't seem to get rid of that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, reinstalled all drivers and everything, now it's all pretty, but I still can't get usb storage to work. In cyanogenmod application settings if I have internal storage ticked it asks me to turn on usb storage but then nothing shows up in my pc. If it is unticked nothing shows up to turn on usb storage... Also, no matter if it is ticked or not I can't get the camera to work...

I've reinstalled everything and now it's detected ok, but I still can't use usb storage. And I can't get the camera to work. I edited the first post.

Well... had to use an actual external card... put in the new temasek's kang and the new vadonka's kernel LOC 48 DS, factory reset, flash ROM, another factory reset, flash kernel, and voila.

Now it's working again. Let's hope it stays that way :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Faruk88:
Hello all,

So after updating my Lumia 710 from Rogers, in the "About" screen of the Diagnostic Tool I see that I am on FW revision 1600.3007.7740.11465. This is a few versions behind what seems to be the latest version out there for unlocked variants of the phone...

So I found this page:

http://www.wpcentral.com/hack-t-mobile-lumia-710-flash-windows-phone-os-8107-new-firmware

Which claims that they have flashed the latest Indian firmware (8107.12070) for the RM-803 variant of the phone onto the T-Mobile (RM-809) version. However I am somewhat reluctant to try flashing an RM-803 image onto an RM-809, especially due to the fact that they support different 3G bands. What do you guys think?

Alternatively, I can see in Navifirm+ that the latest available image for the RM-809 is the Australian 8107.12050, so that might be a safer choice?

This will be the first time I try to manually update a Windows Phone... So what do you guys think? I really want to update it since there are some GMail syncing issues on the build that I'm running now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Simon5558:
I updated my lumia 710 from rogers (RM-809) with the RM-803 indian rom 12070 with no problems! Nothing is missing and it's now unbranded :) If you follow this guide it's really simple!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Faruk88:
Thanks, Simon!

After reading your post, I gave it a shot and everything seems to be working fine :) I wonder if we should be seeing any battery life improvements like the Lumia 800 users?

Just something I should mention, though: I unlocked my phone so that I could use it on Wind Mobile, but after going through the flashing process, the phone became locked again so I had to re-enter my unlock code.

I didn't know that it was even possible for a phone to become locked again, after already having been unlocked...
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsever:
I am thinking about getting a Lumia 710, and I am really surprised that you guys were able to flash a firmware from another RM-### without bricking the phone.

I currently own the X7 (RM659) from the Rogers and I was told not to flash the Belle firmware from the X& (RM707) since the phone will get bricked.

Nonetheless, thanks a lot for the info.

Which software do you use to flash? Phoenix or WP7 requires other tools? Never mind I found the post detailing how to debrand it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Faruk88:
The weird thing is... I tried to downgrade from the Indian (RM-803) 1070 build to the Australian (RM-809) 1050 build, and I wasn't able to...

It seems there is a small battery bug (Diagnostic tool doesn't display battery info) so that's why I tried to install the Australian one instead.

Whenever the next update comes along, I hope I'll be able to switch back to an RM-809 build... It seems like the safe way to go.

Normally you shouldn't... But the only reason I did it is because other people had successfully done it.

Also keep in mind that Symbian phones seem to be a little pickier - you can brick them just by trying to downgrade to the previous OS.

Edit: Well that's weird... My Battery Status randomly started working!

Edit #2: I just remembered I did a battery pull, so that may have had something to do with why it is fixed now...
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsever:
I never knew it was possible to downgrade the OS for Nokia phones whether it is Symbian or WP.

Would an unlocked T-Mobile Lumia 710 work fine on the Rogers network? Do the GSM bands match?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Faruk88:
It would indeed. The RM-809 model supports HSPA 850/1700/1900/2100. So it will work on any of the North American operators. (excluding the cdma operators like Verizon and Sprint, of course)

Actually, I bought my Lumia 710 from Rogers, unlocked it, and I am using it on Wind Mobile now (same hspa band as t-mobile).

Edit: I hope you're right about the downgrading thing, since that would mean that the reason I wasn't able to flash back to RM-809 was because of the fact that it's a downgrade, as opposed to something being messed up on the phone! I guess I'll find out when the next update comes along.
