[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Alpha Gamer:
I want to get some more space by removing some of the bloatware like both Music Unlimited's, UEFA.com, WhatsApp and Xperia Hot Shots. However, I didn't see them on the safe to remove list, are they safe to uninstall? And if I do uninstall them, can I still update to ICS when it comes out using the PC Companion?

Yes to all your questions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazytt:
Since rooting, certain settings get lost every boot: default application handlers and the doc icons (except for the default choices, the spots for my custom icons remain blank). Interestingly, since installing 4.0.4 and loosing root, the same thing happens.

How can I prevent this from happening?

On the flip side, I just did this because the last few days have been reallllly slow and I wanted to do something fun. And I was actually surprised no one did this so far, given that we have experienced Melvin and all, I figured people will learn to prank more, especially on April 1.

Anyway, I am on your side. I filed a big complaint to Motorola that you can read here and I am waiting for Moto to reply.

that's great, but yesterday I order the Rezound from ebay, so hopefully by saturday I'll be having ICS on my phone. But it is still great to hear that Motorola finally responded to her customers's requirements. I'm not sure how long this will take before we see ICS on the X2.

My imagination sored to unthinkable heights filled with ice cream images and over clocked CPU's...

Then as I flew thus on such lovingly crafted wings, reality, or as Sherman put it so elegantly, It is all ether and moonshine, my wings where torn asunder as I was mashed across the jagged April joke....

Hey good one...yeah ya really got me good. Ooh did I ever mention what my 1st job was during my service days, other than being a qualified marksman... I got to learn a whole bunch about high explosives and guided missiles... Just saying...

but even tho this wasn't real, it made me think

we should ALSO send complaints to BBB about VZW (and their stance/hand in this whole, bootloader debacle)
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I did send them a BBB complaint initially by mistake. That was a dead end. They mostly claimed that they can't help it and with regard to bootloader being locked, they aren't responsible about it and that it is to do with Motorola. Which sounds like vzw doesn't stop Motorola from unlocking it. :/

[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
No worries, I should've assumed it to good to be true. Gotta admit, that was pretty good lol
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
Too good to be true, just like a sick mother living with her 80 year old mom that happens to stumble upon the way to unlock our bootloader. :eek:

Oh, oops, that is also happening....

I think I am going to submit a complaint tonight after work for both Motorola and VZW. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] Pandages:
Stoked!

(first post, been lurking for over a year but this thread is important!)

This is awesome news. I still think that the only thing holding the Droid X2 back is the software, because Tegra 2 is pretty fantastic when running ICS (look at the ASUS Transformer TF101).

My BBB Complaint Story:

A month ago, I submitted a BBB complaint, and Verizon called me back 2 days later. I told them that I was unsatisfied with their responsibility to their customers when maintaining their phone OSes. I reminded them that the user community is happy to help them with betas, feedback, and even test builds, but that doing these sorts of tests requires low-level access to the phone. I made sure that the engineer with whom I was speaking understood the importance of unlocked bootloaders, and root-level access to the device. I pointed out that if Verizon and Motorola won't update the product, and the product doesn't work as intended (or in a sub-standard manner), then the users will take the efforts into their own hands and fix it.

I also pointed out that any proprietary code not released to Google (AOSP) for development and testing only slows the growth of the OS. We all understand that for-profit companies are afraid of releasing code (or even code snippets) because they do not want to help their competition. Despite this, the Open-Source model requires a minimum level of reciprocity: If you implement our code, please release the important changes you make to yours.

After all that, my proposed resolution was to unlock the Droid X2 Bootloader, and to Update the phone to Android 4.0 (ICS). Failing that, I requested, begrudgingly, a full refund for my Droid X2 ($200), and the opportunity to upgrade my phone at the standard 2-year contract price.

The engineer took notes the whole time, and said he would convey my message to his management and to the other engineers. He said he understood how important timely releases can be, and how unreasonable it is to leave a phone neither updated nor unlocked (effectively abandoned). He offered me a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for free, because it has an unlockable bootloader and runs a (nearly) stock build of ICS. I accepted this, and have been tinkering with it for the last 2 weeks.
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
You have been a lurker for this long and missed that it is an April fools joke?

But thank you for sharing your successful BBB story!

I think the Arc S will handle it the best, mainly because of the 1.4ghz clocked processor.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salingpusa:
just happened yesterday,

felt my defy very hot in my pocket and turned it off. after a while, turned it on, and it was ok. the only thing i noticed was that the battery was draining very fast. i thought that this can be fixed by calibrating the battery, so i drained it till it is on 1%. turned it off and charge it. it reached 100% in over 2 hours but when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt. so i unplug it from the wall and removed the battert. thats when i noticed that it is swollen and couldn't hold any charge.

anybody has this similar experience? is this hardware or ROM related. using ICS CM9 03/05. defy is 1yr and 3 months old.

i did got rid of it. the question now is how did it happen if defy has overcharge protection? or is it just that i got a bad battery
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
I think you got a bad battery, it's not acceptable to get in that state after only 15 months. You should be in that 2-year warranty period, the battery should be changed on that basis. Give it a try, it might work.

My Nokia had over 4 years when the battery got fat and died :D.

Same problem

I had a Defy and its been about a month since i last used it and i found it just a min ago and the battrey had swelled up from the top and bottom now i have put it in a bag as the guys on here said better safe than sorry.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theokent:
Swelling and/or overheating while charging can only mean you have a big problem with the battery, also if the battery feels malleable, there is something very very wrong...

Make sure that the battery doesn't leak fluids and avoid contact with water at any cost.

Also... recycle the battery and not throw it in the garbage so the chemicals will be dealt with properly.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androdev26:
solution

yes it happened to my defy.i tried many methods but nothing worked. my phone was bricked .so there nothing for me to do. so in order to flash i needed the battery. (back 2 froyo) my defy was 3 years old . it showed nothing till this battery thing showed up.so i went to ebay bought a battery for 6.76 dollars and flashed it back to froyo. now it is running fine on cm 11. i suggest you do the same.

[Nokia Lumia 800] Snake.:
Since updating my Lumia to the latest firmware, I get complains that other side can hear itself, anyone experiencing this? How to resolve it? Is there a way to downgrade firmware?

The update was forced using the updatewp utility
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
If you have done a backup you can restore via Zune. If you have not done a backup (and you should always do backups when doing unofficial stuff) you have three options:

a) reflash the Firmware manually and risk losing your warranty

b) visit a local Nokia Care Point and ask to reflash the firmare/send it in for repair

c) live with it. Echos can also result because of bad Connection or the other Party using VoIP (at least I heard that at the german Support board).

Have you tried to hard reset the phone?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
Boring weekend, got the idea while at the range.

1) Yes this thing is huge, I'm working on that. When it first boots it might lag for the first half revolution b/c of that. Edit: I've added a smaller version, but it adds a bit of noise around the edges. Hard to see, unless you are staring at it.

2) The pistol on the right is a Beretta 92FX, and a Kimber Raptor II on the left.

3) This isn't complete IMO. I want to add a zombie headshot in the beginning and then fade to this animation. But I can't find something I like yet, and I can't draw worth crap. So I've attached the .psd file for what I'm uploading in case someone else wants to work on this.

Install in /data/local/ however you want. It seems that not many people use adb, but if you do:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
adb shell
bootanimation (this tests the animation w/o rebooting)
ctrl+c (to end the animation)

Download Animation

Download Smaller Animation This one has less lag in the beginning, but has some "noise" around the edges.

this is a feature of ALL rogers firmwares. Dont get me wrong, keis is garbage!! complete SH!T. but its the easiest route to obtain what you want without a steep learning curve.
