[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
If you think touchwiz and motoblur are just launchers then you're silly...really silly.

Does Sprint have the Galaxy Nexus? Notice how I said by the time Sprint gets the Nexus it is dated. Just like when we got the Nexus S it was dated...the Galaxy Nexus is already being beat and we don't even have it yet.

And lol again and OEM overlays being only a launcher...

Your opinion of Sense making it better is just fine, it's opinion tho and not fact. I prefer HTC hardware and I do use Sense sometimes, but I also like a really solid device to use things like AOSP and MIUI on and HTC provides that. Samsung is garbage and the Nexus phones are more than just software so telling me the 3D runs GB means nothing. Nobody really has to explain to you or anyone else why they prefer to take Sense off of their phone, it's their phone. While some people are amazed that we wipe Sense out, I am amazed that some people are honestly unable to understand why we do it. AOSP is a really smooth/clean experience and taking off the OEM launcher does not cut it, not even close.

And LOL one final time at OEM skins being only a launcher ..
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
I don't know if sprint has the GNex nor do I care, it's been out here on every single network going for months now, why go Sprint if you know it doesn't have what you want? Not my fault USA is far behind us :). I had an S2, and I know for a fact if you replace the touchwiz launcher with the standard launcher2.apk you pretty much have AOSP, with coloured icons in the menus as opposed to black and white, and Samsung specific apps (which one can replace with AOSP apps at any time), that is it. If you can't comprehend that then wow! And who said anything about Motorola? I know Motoblur is another deeper framework, hence I didn't mention them. Really now, read first before trying to comment!

PS. I'm not going to reply to you again, you're trying to cause an argument over my opinion, which you can not change, so don't bother trying :).
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Remember back when you quoted my first post rambling nonsense? It mentioned the fact that I was on Sprint, it also asked what options do Sprint users really have for Vanilla Android. You don't know because you're not in the USA but STILL felt like you had the knowledge to call me out on it? I have BEEN on Sprint, but even if I wanted to change...what options are there anywhere for vanilla Android? There is only the Nexus line or some cheap piece of junk phone.

If you think taking a Touchwiz phone and putting ADW or launcher2 on it compares in ANY way to AOSP then you are high beyond your years. I "comprehend" just fine.

Hmm, well.. YOU said take almost ANY brand phone and wipe out the launcher, now you're telling me you ONLY meant take a samsung phone? Oh ok.... It's still more than just a matter of changing launchers tho

No you did when you quoted my original post and butchered it when you thought you knew what you were talking about. I haven't tried to change your opinion on anything at all.. I simply explained why people like to remove Sense and apparently that hurts peoples feelings.
[HTC EVO 3D] edlee:
hey guys,

I am a regular at the e4gt forum, and i came to see what progress that's been made on the e3d.

I really like E4gt but battery life is terrible, I noticed you guys have gb roms that can give 50 hours of battery life, that's insane. E4gt has some ICS leaks, but nothing to run home about my average battery is 13-14 hours, its a little disappointing that E3d hasn't had any ics leaks yet.

But I think my next android will be HTC One
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Eh, I wouldn't buy into the 50 hour battery life stuff too much. I wouldn't say battery life is really an issue tho, just like any phone..the more you use it the faster it dies. Any phone can get 50 hours if you turn off enough stuff and make it a dumbphone. It is fair on the 3D but not worth doing anything drastic for.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
If by e4gt u mean og EVO just use ur insurance and get a 3d. That's how I git my 3d. Almost **** when I found out that's what they were replacing ogs with! I love this thing and it will have ics before u know it. If u Google android 4.0 update HTC u will see that ics is right around the corner. At&t already released it and Verizon is next week. Tmoblie would have but sent the rim back to HTC. Idiots! U think someone there could've fixed it lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Sorry. Last post was meant for u lol. Anyway hope everything works out for u and u enjoy the 3d if u decide on replacement. Best part is u don't lose ur upgrade when eligible. I didn't really get 3d for the 3d part of it vs the specs but I gotta admit it is really cool!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazekage_sama076:
I've been wanting to update my S2 to ICS, but I want to backup my current stock 2.3.3. I don't want to root it because I still have my warranty, but I want to have the option to go back to the original firmware in case ICS feels buggy. So bottomline: Can I have a nandroid backup or something to backup the entire stock rom with the settings and everything? I'm new in the S2 community and all I could find in search were all rooted guides. Thanks in advance! :D

No, you cannot achieve what you want.

[HTC EVO 3D] blas4me:
I'm having the same problem. It seems when they switched to the play store, they might have changed servers and things got mucked up. App devs, are saying they aren't receiving their money from purchases. I can't even download apps that I purchased, and some don't show up in my purchased apps. Big headache.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Hey I had same issue lol. To apps not showing up to sayin I didn't pay for the ones I bought awhile back.

If you clear the play data it should work. I still had issues after that tho . Twrp 2.0 the latest rc had messed my system up. Went back to Cwm 4.0 no issues.

I unrooted to just to make sure and it worked back on stock everything . Rerooted and went Cwm route no issues with market.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
My friend works as a manager for the rogers call center in montreal and he tipped me that an email has been sent from purchasing HO in Toronto that Rogers will not purchase any quad-core phone except the HTC One S until Q4 2012. My friend is very credible and even though we had debated on the fact that this is a ridiculous claim because it would go against the normal evolution of technology, he assured me that the email comes from high up the chain of command. But as he pointed out, the GS2 was released in back in June 2011 and Rogers didnt acquire it until October.

In any case, i believe him because he would lie to me but i'm curious to know why...this would naturally mean that unless a snapdragon S4 variant is released, no GSIII for Rogers Canada until October
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
I believe they are placing limits on themselves so they have an excuse for releasing the GSIII so late after the international i9100 was released. The AT&T (and I think rogers has an ATTAIN too) wasn't released until well after the i9100 (like 5 months?) And its nearly identical... so I wouldn't expect them to get the GS3 until Q4 anyways
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] arberthebarber:
You get a iphone on contract sell it and then buy the international unlocked version of GS3 when it comes out. The new exynos are LTE capable

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archerheart:
Hi !! Im archerheart.. and a few day before, I wondered why my phone is always having battery drain.

I searched around the xda forums and tried everything but had the same results.

so I decided to experiment on my own.

to make the long story short.

I Got what I wanted!

Result:

overnight-(un used) from 100 percent to just 98 percent.

music-(throught head set) (1hour) from 100 percent to 92 percent.

heavy use - (1hour) from 100 percent to 82 percent ( with wifi)

Ok so this is what I did.

Do Not Put THE display to the lowest..

PUT IT TO 25 percent.

How to put it to 25 percent?

-first. go to homescreen

- 2- put the power control widget

-3- the press the display icon on the widget

-4- then turn it off

-5- then press again ( one click only)

and thats it

.Notice: THIS IS ONLY FOR GINGERDX V23 AND V23b..

Press thanks if it Helps.

( Im just new here. pls. dont be rude to me. hehe ) im not a developer. But I would loveto be one. If someone going to teach me everything.

my girlfriends htc inspire will not update the market its still on the old green on not even to the black one yet and it looks like some people have sense 3.5? with the ring and hers doesnt can anyone help me out
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
I think this translates into:

I'm not sure how well my translator works, but it might be accurate enough.

So, bjballar41, uhh in regard to Sense and to the Market/Play question, is your Girlfriends phone rooted?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
If the phone is not rooted, she might want to check for software/firmware updates. Sounds like she is still running froyo, android 2.2.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Uh, ROM version aside, there's a d/l for the play store.apk. Google it. I did that way back, b/c I was still on market 2.5 (I think)
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
But is the play store an improvement? I recently went back to a nandroid of the ROM I found most stable. I have the old market back and am loving it compared to the more recent veal they have foisted upon the unsuspecting masses. Yes, it may be a good idea to have the apk, but I won't install it unless my market stops working. My 2 cents.

Edit: Veal? Really? I typed "crap". Lol, autocorrect. :)

Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
As it is stock ATT never updated the Inspire to anything past 2.3 with the older sense. It didn't even get the Sense 3.0 update HTC pushed out. This is the reason foe not having the lock screen. Unless you root it and flash a custom from it won't happen. The market maybe OS version dependet
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I don't know about better. It looks like the 3.x series of Market. I will say that the 2.x Market I had had started having random times where it wouldn't connect.

while update my phone my notebook shut down and when I turn on my phone is frozen on the screen of HTC and nothing else. I have sent for assistance but as windows phone arrived in Brazil a little time they do not know what might be happening. The HTC Brazil wants to send my phone to the U.S. but if anyone knows what can be done to reinstall windows phone on my HD7 would be grateful.

Have downloaded several ROMS but all had ERROR 266 and that was the only error that is not found because it is happening.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
have you tried flashing a new stock Shipped ROM onto your device?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Put the phone in Update/Recovery mode (turn it off, press and hold the Camera button, turn it on again, keep holding the Camera button until it goes to the black-and-white screen indicating that you should connect the phone to the PC). Connect your phone to the PC using the normal USB cable. Start the Zune software. After a few seconds, Zune should offer to restore your phone to the backup that was created prior to beginning to flash the update.

That will make the phone boot again, without losing any data. Afterward, you can try updating again. Hope that helps, good luck!

Get a sqlite3 and the library that I listed. I can post them in a .zip probably.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Please excuse my noobishness.... do I just run this in Recovery?
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
No sir, it's not flashable, though someone could probably make a flashable thing (I don't really know how!)

You follow the instructions in the post that I posted. You have to use ADB and push those to /system/xbin and /system/lib respectively, then chmod the sqlite3 in the xbin, then run the command that ran there.

It's possible we can convince ROM builders to include sqlite3 and the library in their ROM's (since they're pretty darn small) as they are included in Cyanogenmod and other ROMs!

But for now, you have to go through the procedure, or otherwise copy those files to the right locations
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Wow. That may be beyond my somewhat limited abilities, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] kryptik06:
haha, I agree this is a lot to do. what ROM are you currently running?
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
If you have ADB working, unzip those files into that same folder

Then you should run the same commands. Plug your phone into your computer with USB Debugging on (Settings > Dev Options > USB Debugging).

So something like this (you can copy and paste these commands in one by one once you get sqlite3 and libncurses.so into the same folder that you are running adb.exe from)

adb push sqlite3 /system/xbin/sqlite3

adb push libncurses.so /system/lib/libncurses.so

adb shell

cd system

cd xbin

chmod 777 sqlite3

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

"CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_new_data AFTER INSERT ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE r

aw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0 and N

EW.account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login'); END; CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_u

pdated_data AFTER UPDATE OF is_restricted ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE raw_conta

cts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0 and NEW.accou

nt_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login'); END; UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restrict

ed=0 WHERE is_restricted!=0 AND account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login');"

<_restricted!=0 AND account_type in ('com.facebook.auth.login');"

(once you run that last command, you're all set).

Once the command runs (just takes a couple of seconds - it WON'T give you any kind of confirmation), you can run it again, and it will say UNRESTRICT_DATA trigger already exists (or something like that).

Reboot your phone.

Your facebook contact photos will now show up in Handcent/Google Voice/Beautiful Widgets/etc etc

[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
ok guys i do have the contacts2.db chmod'd to 777 via the init.d scripting... you also already have sqlite3 in your xbin folder.... so its really a matter of just running the commands... let me see if i can make this work on a rom install
[HTC Rezound] kryptik06:
I am running the same ROM. Hmm only thing I can think of is maybe you didn't do a FULL wipe, but you said you did so that rules it out. I didn't have to use ADB or anything to get my contact pics to link up right for handscent. I guess try doing the adm commands like bored recommended since the files are already on the ROM

Business Sense doesn't have sqlite3

Also, that huge command errors out without also having libncurses.so

I also use gscript to run this trick right on the phone

It works if sqlite3 and libncurses.so is there!

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
when I try to enter the command "adb push sqlite3 /system/xbin/sqlite3" adb gives me an error, failed to copy, read-only file system. I'm assuming that means that the xbin folder is read-only. I'm not up to par on my linux commands, how do I go about making the folder read/write so I can copy sqlite3 over to it?

Thanks.

EDIT: I went ahead and just used root explorer to drop sqlite3 and libncurses into the appropriate folders in android. But when I go to chmod sqlite3 to 777, I get the same read-only file system error.

I've also tried adb remount to mount the system partition r/w, and it gives me the error operation not permitted.

HELP!!!

BTW, I'm on 100% pure stock, rooted, and unlocked.

Thanks Derek!
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
go into settings/develop options and make sure usb debugging is selected... your system wont mount

then make sure you adb remount before attempting to push a file

That worked - followed derek4484's instructions

also thanks to lllboredlll for pointing out the adb remount (that's what I apparently got stuck on) because after I did that I was able to adb push without the read-only errors
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
EDIT: JUST USE THIS PROGRAM - way simpler and even works on Sense4 (which other methods do not!)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9elkpsxco91qt7/fb_data_fix.zip

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe this can be simpler.

If you can get sqlite3 to /system/xbin/sqlite3

chmod 777 sqlite3

then get libncurses.so to /system/lib/libncurses.so

Just download Gscript Lite from the Play Store (Market) - it's free.

Download this attachment, and UNZIP it, and put it in /sdcard/gscript (on your internal "SD", not your actual SD Card).

Then open Gscript, hit Menu >> Add Script

Then hit Load File

Then choose the Facebook Contact Fix .sh file there.

Then run it.

(allow superuser on it).

Run it a second time, and it will say UNRESTRICT_DATA trigger already exists (or something like that), and you'll know it worked

Reboot your phone, and you're all set
