[Kindle Fire General] isaiahhhhh:
The Kindle Fire comes with a modified version of android 2.3 (gingerbread). Basically, as you can see, the launcher is different, there is an amazon app market instead of the android play store, and many of the stock google apps that come with an android powered device have been removed and either replaced with amazons desired equivalent or simply left out. The kindle has a specific build in video browser that is linked into their video streaming service that you will not be able to get with a custom rom to the best of my knowledge. The same goes with the kindle reader. There is a kindle reader on the android play store but it is not the same as you will get with a stock rom. Custom roms basically undo the changes amazon made to the gingerbread os and unlock the restrictions those changes created (i.e. more apps on the android play store, google stock apps, more flexibility in software customization...). If you want to continue reading magazines and PDF's I would suggest you stick with the stock rom simply because it's built to do that. If you want more freedom with what your kindle can do and would like to use it as a fully functioning tablet and not just an e reader with a few perks then you should go with a custom rom. Currently the developers are hard at work perfecting Android 4.0 by building a functioning 3.0 kernel (the current kernel they have implemented with their custom roms does not allow for hardware accelerated graphics such as advanced games or video streaming apps like netflix or hulu). The previous generation rom equivalent to a custom version of android gingerbread, referred to as CM7 (cyanogenmod 7) does support hardware accelerated graphics and functions fully with the exception of one draw back. Android 2.3 was built with the idea of physical buttons being present on the devices it powered such as you would find on a phone with the standard menu, home, back and search buttons. Where the kindle fire only has one physical button all builds of CM7 for the Kindle Fire have a custom row of touch buttons at the bottom of the screen that take up a little but still annoying amount of space. This is in my opinion the only drawback to the custom roms running gingerbread for the kindle fire and is fixed in the ICS rom as android 4.0 is built with touch screen buttons in mind and minimal use of physical buttons. I hope this helped, let me know if you need any more help.

Thank you for taking time to send such a detailed reply. think I might wait for Android 4.

The only thing with the fire that gets me is the time it takes to go from page to page on magazines...
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
Don't about Zmooth or Button Savior to replace the CM7 soft buttons. I really prefer Zmooth since it's quicker and never in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
[Kindle Fire General] isaiahhhhh:
I guess i'm not familiar with that, I never really used CM7, I flashed it and then almost instantly upgraded to CM9 because I liked the fact that it was being updated so frequently.
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
Once they have HWA working I'll be switching to CM9.

Flashed pudding as a mistake trying to unlock to bootloader on my Photon

and now I can't get back on Photon stock. I made previously backup and with

Flashed all available sbf files but all fail, I know drivers are good because the only thing I can flash is uscellular sbf 2.3.5 and that works but sucks cuz none of the dial codes work. So what if I flashed wrong file why there is no stock sbf file and stable and intelligent RDSLite that can flash and recover the phone, is not like is totaly bricked but semi.

Hello,

I posted this in the other headphone jack thread amd didn't get an answer.

My headphone plug broke a few days ago. It works, until I barely touch the connector (i.e. in my jeans pocket), that's when I lose the left channel completely. I tried several units, they all the same problem.

I have unlocked the bootloader a while back. I understand that the warranty "may" have been voided as per HTC, however this is very obviously a hardware issue.

Does anyone know how HTC will handle this?

If that changes anything, I can also send it to Rogers' repair center instead of HTC directly.

Then again, I don't feel like loosing my phone for a few weeks if it's going to be useless or if I'm charged a pretty huge amount.

Has anyone been running into a similar issue?

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
Couldn't you just relock the bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Have you seen this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301998) thread? It offers a few things to try, like covering the exposed metal/silver with a piece of electrical tape, and also suggests an app that disabled headphone buttons, so if it's shorting and thinking a button's being pressed, it won't matter
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cedrikfd:
In both cases, won't they see "RELOCKED" if they boot to HBOOT? I've never actually tried to relock it, so I don't know, however it is my understanding that you can never have back a "LOCKED" HBOOT, only "RELOCKED" or "UNLOCKED".
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] general1122:
I just had this problem and I contacted ATT. Here is my chatlog with them:

me: so my friend did something called an unlock bootloader on my phone

me: will that affect my warranty

att: Rooting your device would certainly cause issues on your phone, and ultimately affect your device and warranty.

att: I would avoid any rooting systems on the device.

me: so is my warranty void?

att: Did you download that program on your device ?

me: my friend did something on the HTC website

att: That step is not available on the HTC manufacturer's website, rooting the device would be found on a 3rd party website.

att: Was the software on your device rooted ?

me: how do i check that?

att: How do you check if your software has been rooted ?

att: I would not have that information, only the HTC manufacturer would be able to diagnose if the software has been tampered with. Did your friend root your device software ?

me: he said he went on htcdev

me: and used an unlock tool

att: Correct ! that is a 3rd party website

me: so my warranty is void?

att: I will honor this exchange as a 1 time courtesy, for future reference I would advise no rooting of the software on your device due to that could cause issues on the device.

I had the exact same problem as you and I just sent my vivid to them. idk if they are going to charge me but so far it looks good

Ugh, join the club. I can't stand the headphone jack BS. I have to hold the phone perfectly still or playback will pause. :mad::mad::mad:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Luigiman765:
I recently had the same problem. Headphone jack quit on unlocked and rooted Vivid. Using the Superguide from the Development section, I relocked and unrooted the phone. I brought the phone to an AT&T store. They checked the headphone jack, made sure it was broken, and went and got me a new one. They didn't check for any modification to the software. But relock and unroot just in case.

Digging this thread from the graveyard.

My Bell Raider started doing this well... 30 minutes ago. I was actually having some minor issues with headphones, but until now, longer plugs (with mic) were working like a charm. Well now nothing works...

My problem is I am Bootloader Unlocked, S-OFF (void sticker gone...) and running a custom ROM...

Does anyone have a solution regarding this?

Hello everyone

Having a big issue here. Can get into CWM no problem, but when I go to wipe data / factory reset - the phone just sits there.

I let it sit there for a few minutes and the phone basically just became unresponsive. Ended up having to pull the battery.

I one click rooted with no problems, but just can't get passed this wipe in order to flash a new ROM.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
have you installed a custom recovery to flash the rest of the rom ?

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (name chosen custom recovery... recovery.img)

edit.. or just boot it like said above, but you need a custom recovery image in you fast boot folder
[HTC EVO 3D] romelie:
yes ive installed cwm but i cant boot into recovery i keep getting the HTC screen
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I bet you're choosing recovery from hboot and u think that's what we mean by " fastboot boot recovery.img" yes/no? Like meangreenie said, u need a recovery image in the same folder as fasboot on your computer. Hook the phone up while in hboot, choose fastboot, cd to the folder that the recovery and fastboot are in and type fastboot boot recovery.img, and make sure the recovery that's in there is named recovery.img. if it doesn't work, post what it says in the command window

No mate i have the custom recovery.img in the fastboot folder and when i run "fastboot boot recovery.img" the phone reboots but i get stuck at th HTC screen

Thank you very much mate really appreciate the help :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Aersaud:
Reinstall the recovery. When starting the phone hold the volume up button. I believe that puts you in fastboot and just let it run the checks. Try and see if you can get recovery from there first. If not.flash the boot.img

The following I don't know what the filesystem type is so I can't seem to mount

I have ran blkid on these but it reports nothing

when I run mount command with ext3, ext2, ext4, or vfat I get - invalid argument

[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Most device manufacturers use proprietary file systems for these protected partitions. That is why blkid gives you nothing and no fs seems to work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Third Strike:
I was browsing Negri today, when I noticed they had the Galaxy Nexus for $459.50, the NTT Docomo version. Not sure if it's connected, but it looks like the same price as the Daily Steals sale from yesterday. The specs says it's the same as the other versions, except it has a small logo on the back. I suppose this is good news for anybody who missed the sale yesterday. I'm not sure how long Negri will have this, but hopefully permanent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] huyha707:
It says unlocked but will it work the same as the i9250 unbranded version for T-Mobile USA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It should work just fine. The radio specs are the same, and if they're unlocking it before they send it to you then there's no issue. The problem before was breaking the SIM lock on the DoCoMo version.

And I just spent near $600 on ordering the Canadian version lol.

The bands are listed as the same on Negri :confused:

Edit: What is NTT Docomo anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vibrant808:
Yeah it seems the same. Anyone with the device can confirm or not? Also are these builds the same as the other yakju? Will I be able to root, flash roms etc the same as if I got the i9250 version of the phone?

So this morning when I could get the BLACK version, I jumped on it. I loaded CWM's ICS on my Atrix, but don't feel it's quite right, and so I'm gonna put 2.3.4 back on the Atrix and continue to use it with the laptop dock. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
I'm thinking on buying this Galaxy Nexus Docomo version, but I have some doubts.

I've read everywere that this phone is exactly the same as the i9250 version, same 2g and 3g networks (pentaband), GSM extended battery fits, and so on. Chatting with a negri electronics rep, he also confirmed me it is the same phone and it even cames with the yakju build, meaning it is updated by google and not Docomo.

What still bugs me a bit is why would they name it different? (SC-04D)..

Will I be able to flash any ROM, baseband, kernel as if I was using the international i9250 version?

Yeah, i'm a bit paranoid, but any information/clarification would be grately appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
It could be that the SC-04D designation was chosen to be separate in order to register it separately in Japan with their equivalent of the CRTC/FCC.

I can tell you that SC-04D radio files work fine on the i9250. So I would think the reverse is true as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GlockSilencer9MM:
I have read and saw a Youtube vid, The DOCOMO Gnex has a Docomo ROM installed, Negri says the only difference is the logo on the back. Can anyone confirm. The price of $459 seems to good to be true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zatire:
Both the SC-04D and the gsm i9250 share the same hardware, I think, except the SC-04D does not have the 900mhz band. The price is quite good but you have to be sure your carrier does not use the 900mhz band before you decide to purchase the SC-04D, otherwise you may receive a weak to no signal when you need to make a phone call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Have you verified this?

Or is it possible the Japanese radio software is what locks out that band?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zatire:
My carrier is using the bands of 900/1800/2100. I got my SC-04D yesterday. Just ran a little test with my DOCOMO SC-04D and the GALAXY S2, both of them locked at 900mhz from service mode. It seems that the SC-04D is giving me weaker signal, say 0-40% whereas the S2 is giving me full signal. I believe it is due to the missing 900mhz band from the SC-04D. I will run a few tests tomorrow at different places and see how well it will go. :D

---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

Well, when I flashed to other custom roms and radio/basebands, I got the options the choose which bands to use under service mode (*#*#4636#*#*). I could choose the GSM 900 band, but I am not sure if it really worked as I am only receiving a very weak signal compare with my S2 in full bar signal. I am able to use both phone to surf the net and make phone calls. But the unlocked DOCOMO SC-04D is not very stable. I guess I will give it a few days to observe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Are you saying the SC-04 firmware has a mode to select individual frequency bands? The i9250 doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
Negri told me that it was pentaband, so it should have the 900mhz band. I don't think they would confirm me such a thing without knowing for sure.

@Zatire. There a lot of threads saying that galaxy nexus has crappy radios, so maybe that's the cause you are having bad signal. If it didn't have the 900mhz band, it's shouldn't even get 1 bar, don't you think? (saying you locked your phone to only use that band...)

It doesn't matter if it comes with Docomo's ROM, because you can flash original Google ROM from AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norazi:
i ordered both the dailysteals gnex ($465 for european unlocked version) AND the negri gnex ($460 docomo version)... i should have both in my hands next week. any tests you guys me to run to compare the two? i am on tmobile tzones

I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ambrosios:
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?

try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AtomicBocks:
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

Does not do anything.
