[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
I had the same issue after updating my stock unrooted phone via Kies.. Phone died after samsung white letters and after that no lights no dl mode no recovery.. Didn't have a jig to try so I send it to service center they changed the board.. So if you can wait for the jig order it and try it out few bucks wasted if it don't work but I hope it will, but so GLÜCKLICHES mate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMcIver:
Thanks for the reply Braxos. Where did you send it back to? I'm in Australia but I bought the phone online from Hong Kong. Has anyone had experience sending stuff back to Samsung Hong Kong? Or am I better to try somewhere like the mobile tech video sites jtag brick repair service? (I'm not allowed to link to it)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2012:
Try with the jig like everyone says... and hope for the best to get you phone back on... But, if it doesn't work then try to contact the seller from Hong Kong to get help as we all have a international warranty. Best of luck :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arianR10:
Hi,

I wanted to ask all of you fellow XDAers, which Rom you think has the most MODS featured in it. I am not looking at any other aspect (such as battery life, or speed), i am only looking at the mods that are featured in the rom. I have tried CyberGR before and I was quite contented with the amount of mods it had. The rom i am using now, CNA, is less capable in this regards, but more stable overall. Please provide your input.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123justea:
Have you tried out the latest Cyber GR Tornado?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arianR10:
Thanks for the suggestion. :)

I've been recently thinking of reverting back from CNA to CyberGR. There are a number of features I miss very dearly on CyberGR that are not available in CNA, such as the ability to increase brightness by means of drawing on the status bar, and using the torch widget for easy access to the flashlight.

By the way, how do other roms, such as cm9 or MIUI compare to CyberGR, for those who have had experience with all three of these roms. I remember CM7 having loads of extras and mods, such as swipe gestures in the lockscreen, and other likewise mods which made the user experience much easier and more efficient.

thank you for your input

OTA for all countries or 4.0.5???
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Hopefully it's more stable than 4.0.3 was.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
What do you mean what is it? It will be ICS finally rolling out after all these months to all the variants. And yes, it will be a bug fix release to the T-mobile version that partially rolled out too.
[Nexus S General] Oogway13:
Can wait for a DEV out there to get it hands dirty with it!!!
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Some reliable sources say this time its the real deal.
[Nexus S General] 063_XOBX:
That's what they always say. Not impressed.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
Engadget shoulda have more specific details, e.g., the version. I have been rocking ICS since the stock ICS OTA rolled out to T-Mobile, and now AOKP.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Engadget wouldn't post that information unless it was from a source inside of Google. Unlike some of these crack pot bloggers, they actually have real sources.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
They used to....
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
If it was from an external source, they would tell you their sources. Since they didn't, then you can be almost 100% positive it was from someone inside of Google.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Myriam Joire is the real deal man. She has great sources, and I've yet to ever hear her say anything that hasn't been reliable, credible, and ultimately proven true.

Uhh, no, Myriam is a woman according to her Engadget bio page. Yes, she may look like a man (all joking aside), but she is not.
[Nexus S General] devgee:
I wish, it would have better battery life
[Nexus S General] lithid-cm:
The reason there is such a delay this time around has to deal with the fact google has removed the support from cdma devices officially. This means in order to supply updates, we have to wait for sprint. Currently Sprint is bitter about the who deal. We are the ones who will suffer in the long run.

Same for why the gnex for sprint isn't out quite yet.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
The release was pulled from T-mobile and never existed for AT&T. So unless you are saying those are CDMA carriers as well, your theory makes no sense. All 3 device types currently are waiting for an ICS update. Google is surely working to make that happen. But Sprint isn't holding up the release (at least not yet) because it doesn't even exist. And Google removing CDMA from ASOP has no bearing on the speed at which they provide the update. The process is the same. The problem is the lack of understanding of why CDMA was pulled from ASOP and the sensationalist articles spewing incorrect information has probably confused you.
[Nexus S General] FaLCoN.007:
Tired of waiting..

I think Google takes too long to release an OTA! :mad:
[Nexus S General] lithid-cm:
I guess you work with stuff on a daily basis? This is a google phone, if you don't think GSM variants are not affected by google move to drop cdma support your mistaken. There is alot more that goes on behind the scenes the push code > compile > update. Countless documents, this need to get removed, shuffled and put back into order once again. Instead of google being about to push updates with the help of carriers, google and the nexus s is now fragmented. To ensure a proper release cycle it will take longer then expected. Pulling a phone from official support isn't like dropping your kids off at school.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Actually, Google didn't drop support for the CMDA variants except in ASOP. So there is no change in the way they rolled out updates. So you are saying they pulled the buggy release because they anticipated dropping CDMA months later? I guess the AT&T version didn't get the release in December because they were dropping CDMA support several months later? I feel like you are drawing conclusions that aren't even there.
[Nexus S General] slawson:
CDMA support was fully dropped by Google, an update from the big G, would be considered AOSP..+

Also, for future reference: Android Open Source Project = AOSP
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Actually, it just means no support in AOSP. Google said nothing has changed as to how they provide updates for Nexus devices. They will still provide updates just like before. Again, none of this has to do with ICS being halted for the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. According to almost all reports, we are waiting on them to finish 4.0.5 before they can roll it out.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
All they're doing is taking valuable devs go to other sites than xda.... Great job trolls
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
some developers actually stopped developing.... cause of xda drama

...when was the last time i had an update? went from daily to 2-3 times per month

...ziggy? Ziggy was the best kernel dev XDA had...ever.. and you all pushed him to stop development... good one...

...cant remember the dudes xda name (i know his real name) ..but the dude who had the ONLY roms that supported usb host mode w/ my kernels...you all pushed him out of development...
[HTC EVO 3D] clewis.it:
that was androidosx, no?

I've been here to see all those great devs leave, and that's not even all of them. (though you still spend an awful lot of time here chad...time to troll-back the trolls?) I seem to always be at work when drama goes down, and by the time I catch up posts or entire threads are deleted.

just sayin.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
Even before I bought my Evo 3D, I had checked out this section, and to be absolutely honest, I almost didn't bother getting one because of the amount of abuse being dished out in this sub-forum. People just asking questions getting jumped on and abused, without being repremanded. Just don't need it.

If the dev's got any of that attitude, I'm not really surprised. People 'should' be grateful that others put time and energy into software development, without any effort on their own part, dev's enable them to have fantastic features etc. The dev's don't owe you anything, so stop acting like they do. If you flash your phone that's your choice, don't expect help when you give the dev's a mouthful.. they have lives too, and they are not getting paid for it.

If you haven't got anything constructive to say, don't bother saying it :-)

I'm very glad that guys like chad can ride out the negative crap, and realise that there are probably a lot of people that are very happy because of them :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
i ride it out cause there was a recent change of shooter forum moderators...

...but who knows when i will create a new thread here - i create custom kernels for other XDA developers who ask...and i have a thread at infectedrom.com

but my motivation to develop for phones other than my hw001 shooter = zero

my test6 kernel works on all 2.17 based roms on hw001 phones.. so why put effort into making it work on hw002 phones.. so other devs can call the gpl police cause they cant kang what i spent hours working on cause htc wont release source... and i wont either
[HTC EVO 3D] NixZero:
Sorry, just asking as a newbie - there arent moderators on these forums to do their job and keep the drama in check?
[HTC EVO 3D] hilaireg:
As contributors and fellow members of the XDA community, moderators also feel the frustration of losing significant contributors. I posted the following message in another forum with ongoing drama and for the most part, the message applies to this situation as well.

Hello. I'm going to try to keep this short. I had Hboot 1.4 S-Off, then stupidly flashed the 2.17 Ruu. Now I have Hboot 1.5, but the S--Off stuck, but it's locked. So, Hboot 1.5, locked, but S-off. My Queston is, if I wanted to restore a nandroid backup from before I updated, could I do that now, or would I need to unlock the bootloader first?
[HTC EVO 3D] gunfromsako:
I'm pretty sure you can just flash a pg86img.zip of the 1.4 hboot and revert back since you are still s-off. It's probably posted in a sticky somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Yup, as he said, since you're still S off you just need to flash hboot 1.40. You can find it here

[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I have a Telus amaze and something similar happens to me. If I replug the cord or connect/disconnect it it will work and it never does it normally, only while tethering/wifi hotspot.

Damn, I should ban myself for Trolling.:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I was, but what I said is true lol. Actually strangely enough it didn't stop working until after I flashed the RUU. It always worked fine before that. It seems to be a random amount of time that it happens as well, sometimes almost immediately, don't think I got more then 15 minutes though. My internet went down last night so it was the first time I tried it after the reflash. I've also noticed that SIM Toolkit no longer works even though I flashed the stock Telus rom on my Telus amaze. Guess HTC messed up or something lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dvicens:
I got a new Sim card and it is still having the same issue, very very frustrating.

[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
My laptops wifi card is incompatible with my old wireless router and it would do this same exact thing. My dad had a usb wifi stick, so I plugged it into my laptop and it works fine now.

It didn't always do it either, it just started one day and has done it since.

Just a thought.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I would try to tether through usb and see if it happens. It could be an issue of incompatibility between the wireless modems but not in my case because it does the same thing when corded.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dvicens:
It does it thru usb tether as well. I tried using the wifi hotspot to my buddies ipad2 and it stops working too. Im about to root it and see if that helps even though I think it is something on the network side.

Morning all

I'm currently with 3 on their One Plan sim only. I want to pick up an Xperia S and have seen that they do it on PAYG for £369. This is very tempting as a way of getting the phone without increasing my bill or locking me into a long contract again, only requiring me to swap my sim for a micro one.

Couple of questions.

1) Has anyone got one from 3, if so, is it locked to their network and preloaded with any network specific apps? I'm happy to debrand it out the box if so and then worry about unlocking another time.

2) Do you think it'd be feasible to go into the shop and buy the handset on PAYG and at the same time ask them to swap my contract sim for a micro one (I've heard they can do it in the shop there and then)?

If all else fails I can order one online and process the sim swap through customer support and wait the few days for things to move round.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] willusdun:
i signed up to xda's lengthy tedious sign up process just to help you out mate

apparently the 3 payg is unlocked and doesn't have any branding but sometimes it could depend on the batch

however with o2 pay monthly it is more likely to be branded than unbranded, again depending on the batch. The branding is minimal just start up screen really. SIM unlocking is not a problem on pay monthly phones.

anyway the reason im telling you this is that you can buy the phone on o2 for 225 if you want but only soon

here is the process

Step 1 order 13.50pm 24m contract with phone for 79.99 from o2 site via Quidco and receive phone the day after

Step 2 cancel 3/m bolt on immediately after you get your o2 login bringing price down to 10.50pm

Step 3 get 4 extra free smart tags from sony using sony-promotions.com/experia

Step 4 Unlock simlock for free by filling out o2 form or phoning them, (you will need to have put new o2 sim in phone first)

Step 5 Order giffgaff sim card or use your 3 sim

Step 6 receive quidco cashback of 110 and immediately Pay off remaining 02 contract

Use *#*#7378423#*#* to check if your bootloader can be unlocked, currently mine cant but my sim is still locked until tomorrow..ill update you if the bootloader can be unlocked too after unlocking the network simlock

i hope this helps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MedicalFlyer:
Many thanks :-)

Sounds like a safe bet for 3 then. At most a quick flash to a UK generic and then wait for ICS which going by Sony's recent record with bringing beta updates to the previous lines looks like they should stay on target for Q2 and provide reasonable support beyond the launch period.

Roll on pay day and new shiney things to play with ;-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] launton:
My 3 handset is both bootloader and sim locked. This doesn't bother me as I'll debrand it and unlock it if need be in the future. The only thing (as far as I know) that 3 have added is a few widgets and a boot screen.

I have no idea if debranding is a much of a pita as with htc handsets but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, and keep reading this forum.

You can get a sim cutter to size your sim for a few quid off eBay or even use a pair of scissors and a free microsim as a template
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MedicalFlyer:
Thanks launton.

I remember doing my Hero and that was fairly straight forward using the goldcard method.

The one that was a pain for me was my old SE P990 as it involved swapping some files on the fly as it backed up and then updated the firmware - made even more difficult by the fact I had XP64 on my PC at the time which meant I had to do it all inside a 32bit virtual machine and hope that as the phone disconnected and reconnected itself on the USB that it stayed attached to the VM :-p

From what I briefly read in the development section it's a case of feeding the right firmware to Sony's PC software and crossing your fingers for a few minutes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electric0ant:
i played with the xperia s in the three store and it has the 3 logo on startup and shutdown i think.

just to let you know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H88RRY:
Hello. I work for ThreeUK and to be honest it depends on how long you are willing to have the handset. If you can splash out the £384.99. If not its only an extra £9.00 a month atm with 1000mins or £12 more for the same plan (9 x 24 = 216) (12 x 24 = 288)

You can get a replacement micro usim for free in store which will activate in under 24h.

The 1st batch we received were generic but I believe we are now rolling out branded handsets (three store widget and app)

Customer service will unlock the phone for £15.32 which can be added to you bill.

If you decided that 2000mins is to much then move to ye Sim600 12 month sim plan for £15.00 (600mins, 3000texts all you can eat data) saving you £120 over 12 months taking the time the phone £264.99

Hope it helps

Very helpful H88RRY :-D

The One Plan's the only realistic option for me as tethering is pretty essential. I am a very high data user, often preferring my phone's connection to my friends/relatives snail speed net connections. I'm very happy with and recommending of 3's service so far.

I've kept my last two phones for 12-18 months before looking for the next interesting thing while being able to get a reasonable amount back for the previous handset.

I might order the handset PAYG online as I found I can get nectar or maximiles points through their respective sites :-)

I take it there's no discount offered to someone that's just reached the three month upgrade period when changing over to a long term contract or no option to pay something towards the handset in order to keep the monthly cost down?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H88RRY:
Not really no. The value of three tariffs are already market leading and the company makes little profit from the handsets as it is. Being staff we don't get any discounts on contracts either :-)

Will be popping in to my local Three store on the way to work tomorrow night if I remember to grab an Xperia.

Had a quick look at someone's at work and it's a lovely screen I must say but definitely in need of a good solid case (come on Otterbox, do your magic).

I have a couple of the Nillkin offerings on order from China via eBay so they'll take a week or so usually.

Does anyone know if the ones currently stocked by Three come with a case?

If not do the Three stores sell reasonably cheap generic cases for the time being or the official Sony pouch?

edit: I just realised this'll be the first phone I've bought in a shop since my old SE T310 - blimey.

On amazon it's £387 if you can wait to get it delivered... It's an unbranded handset.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MedicalFlyer:
£369 on PAYG from 3

And I'm in a new toy kind of mood :-)

Not too bothered if it's branded as that seems to be a fairly straight forward affair with android in general and only really something I worry about if updates start getting delayed or forgotten entirely.

If someone could let me know about case availability in the Three stores that would be great. There should be a few other places near my local store where I could pick something up if not.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ash_c64:
Ye I couldn't wait either payed £429 for mine from Carphonewarehouse... As for cases I don't think there are any in the ships yet except those cheap gel ones.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H88RRY:
About cases. We currently have no suitable cases for the Xperia. We have a leather pouch case that's made for the desire HD but that's the only thing that will fit :-)

Yes it's £369.99 but it does need to be bought with a £15 sim so total is actually £384.99 but still an amazing prices.
