Will DeBlur/DeBloat affect the razrs ability to upgrade to 4.0 ota when it comes along?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IdowhatIwant:
AFAIK, you'll need to have ALL of the original bloatware in place to install updates properly.

Otherwise I've heard it will give you issues. Also if you delouse, that my help.

Debloat, Deblur,and delouse in that order. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AcLexGeek:
ahhh

Ahhh ok, so i can deblur then when the update comes around reformat, update, then deblur again when 4.0 deblir comes out.

Also does a root affect ota updates?

generally nexus' are more supported by the community
[General Topics] ks09h:
I'd say the new Nexus or RAZR MAXX. Both current top of the line and hackable.

The push for the MAXX is obviously the ridiculous battery life. How awesome can your phone really be if you only get 6 hours of battery life when it's finally able to do everything you want at the speed you want?

LG Optimus One is very cheap and perfect for overclocking (If you are into modding your phone). Without the mods and overclock the device might be a bit laggy compared to high end devices but it is still good. The phone is about 2 years old now so it is very cheap today.

[Motorola Droid 4] wjr100989:
Since getting my Droid 4, I've had issues with not receiving texts, and sending texts but the recipient telling me they never received it. Upon calling VZW TS, I was told its something on the other person's end as their system isn't registering my texts at all. Given that it is consistently happening with only me and random other people, the problem has to be happening on my end. They've replaced the phone three times at this point, so it isn't a phone issue. I tried using GhostlySMS to make sure it wasn't the old SMS bug, but if the texts aren't even registering in VZW's system, I'm not sure why that would have worked--just shooting in the dark. Any thoughts?
[Motorola Droid 4] cbalde04:
I recommend requesting a replacement SIM card. I had some 4G connection issues and that solved them. The card if free from a VZW coorporate store or customer service, but some retail stores may charge $10.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
This may or may not help you but -- something similar happened to my brother, on his old Droid X. The culprit? He had synced with Facebook, which added a '1' before a few phone numbers. The 1 stopped the texts from going through.

That was a REAL PITA to troubleshoot, because one of the people who couldn't get texts was me, and we don't live in the same geographic location :D

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Don't worry about the double post, nothing to worry about here.

You can try to clear the cache from play store, or maybe reinstall it. reboot your phone.

Sometimes it needs a while for the store to recognize all your apps and settings.

There is no possibility to workaround. Games bought outside Google Play will be always marked but cannot be updated.

[HTC Sensation] nairolf-fr:
Hello,

I have a T-Mobile US HTC Sensation 4G (but I live in Europe).

I rooted, S-Off, CID and updated my device to 3.24 firmware before installing ARHD 6.3.0.

I then updated to 3.32 firmware before trying ARHD 6.6.0 then InsertCoin 5.2.0

For some reason I dislike the Gmail app and I'd like to go back from ICS to Gingerbread.

My question is quite simple : where can I find a firmware that will let me downgrade the ROM from ICS to Gingerbread ? I'm not sure if I have to use 3.06.401 or 2.08.401 firmware to revert to Gingerbread 2.3.5, and furtherless, I haven't found an efficient link to download a former firmware (those I found give me a failed ID problem or an infinite reboot when installing the Gingerbread ROM)

Well, the question is simple : what's the best to revert to an old HTC firmware to go back from ICS to Gingerbread (ARHD or Insertcoin roms ?)

Thank you very much !

Download the 1.17 firmware, drop it on the SD card (root folder) and update it in the bootloader. Then, remove the image from the SD and reboot into the recovery. Finally, install your GB rom and call it a day.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You can get firmware 1.17 HERE

With this installed,you can flash GB again.

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Flash gb rom reboot in bootloader / power off from cwm hold volume down + power then update firmware reboot all set.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You are aware that the Gmail app looks the same in GB now aren't you?
[HTC Sensation] nairolf-fr:
Hmm, how can I explain ?

I have two Gmail accounts, and on one of them, I have several aliases (I mean, I can send an email "from" different names or adresses, although it's the same account).

The ICS Gmail app is buggy, I mean, when I receive a mail on my regular gmail address, and when I hit Reply, the app will send my reply as if I selected another alias which is not the default one. This is particularly buggy because I would send all my outgoing mail, letting people think I selected this alias, while I did not do it on purpose.

For this reason, the Gmail app on ICS is for the moment very buggy and since I didn't find an interesting replacement, and ICS isn't yet good enough anyway in terms of battery consumption and etc, I prefer going back to Gingerbread.

PS : I reported the bug to Google :) But I really dislike the way the Gmail app looks under ICS. And I dislike the new Gmail interface also on my regular computer (the former Gmail interface was much better). Changing things for the more modern version isn't always a success...

Thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Again....the Gingerbread GMAIL app is the same as the ICS one now. They function identically. If you go back to Gingerbread expecting a different GMAIL, you're going to be disappointed.

Also, if you are getting worse battery drain on ICS than on GB, somethings wrong.
[HTC Sensation] nairolf-fr:
Not sure. I have another phone (HTC Desire) under Android 2.3.4 and Gmail app version 2.3.6 and it's much more convenient and not buggy as the Gmail app of my ICS on the HTC Sensation.

I'll try, and we'll see ;)
[HTC Sensation] nairolf-fr:

Thank you ! Meanwhile I found what the problem was, I wasn't superCID.

I did the SuperCID 11111111 stuff and it then worked perfectly.

I'm installing now the latest InsertCoin Rom based on GB and I hope I'll be happy again with my Gmail app ;-) I'll move later on ICS when Gmail app isn't buggy anymore.
[HTC Sensation] esco954:
Hey guys,

I was prepping my phone for ICS so updated my firmware using Kohr-Ah's thread linked to in the last post and got stuck in the boot loop that seems to happen to some people.

I couldn't get the patch to work so I went back to the 1.17 firmware and flashed a recovery of my GB backup.

All seems fine but does anyone know if that's the latest firmware or where I can find out what is?

Any info appreciated.

[Nook Touch General] Bonnie_Raitt:
I bought a new NST because I wanted to root it and use it as a summertime reader in place of my rooted Nook Color. I downloaded the required files from

[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31. Stupidly rushing though the install, I made two mistakes.

One, I didn't check to see what version of B&N software was running. Since it was newly opened, I'm suspecting that it was the earliest version.

Two, I inadvertantly left the NST plugged into the laptop when I did the install. When it booted up I get the Read Forever screen, then the scrolling dots, then it flashes a couple of times. When I slide the slider I see

[Q] "Your Nook encountered an error that need to restart

No matter how many restarts I try it shows this error everytime.

I tried both fixes in n2T-Recovery - Nook Simple Touch - Factory Restore / Recovery [v:0.2 17.11.11]. Neither helped. The .2 version indicates that it is doing a factory restore and it takes a bit of time. However, upon reboot, I am stuck in the same situation.

I am currently thinking I should try the initial TouchNooter 2 process and see if it helps.

Does anyone have any suggests? Thanks
[Nook Touch General] hshsh:
I had similar problem. my problem was due to a disorder in "Media" drive.

I've solved this way:

I plug in device to pc and restart nook. after it booted up , nook drive and sdcard appear in My Computer. I format nook drive and restart it again and my problem solved ...
[Nook Touch General] Bonnie_Raitt:
Thanks for the input. I tried the steps you outlined. When I rebooted the Nook showed up as another disk drive. I could see the contents of the drive. When I attempyed to format it, it immediately disappeared and says there is no disk in drive G:

I repeated the process and was able to created a folder in drive G:. I tried to do a chkdsk this time and got the same message as before.

Any other ideas?
[Nook Touch General] hshsh:
did you test this tutorial :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360994

my idea is : first use "sd_128mb_clockwork-rc2.zip" image only.

with CWM ram you can format data and cache and system drives.

after solving error message , you can restore nook and root again...
[Nook Touch General] Bonnie_Raitt:
Sounds reasonable. I'll make the CWM recovery card now. Would anyone else like to comment on this idea? I would hate to make things worse.
[Nook Touch General] Bonnie_Raitt:
Well, I tried this. I booted to CWM.

First, I did a factory reset and rebooted. Still got the error.

Next, I formatted cache and data and rebooted. Same error.

Next, I formatted system. When I rebooted, I was stuck at the Read Forever screen.

I did some more reading at this point and thought I would try

n2T-Recovery - Nook Simple Touch - Factory Restore / Recovery [v:0.2 17.11.11]

I installed and rebooted. The system rebuilt itself and I am successfully running again. Thanks for all the advice and thanks to the developers

[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
This take apart written guide shows how to replace various parts on your HTC Amaze 4G. You will learn on this guide the steps on how to properly take your HTC smartphone apart safely and repair nearly any internal parts of your phone.

This guide will help you to install the following HTC Amaze 4G part(s):

HTC Amaze 4G Touch Screen Digitizer Replacements

Other HTC Amaze 4G Parts

Tools:

Safe Open Pry Tool

Torx T5 Screwdriver

Adhesive Strips (For Touch Screen Repairs)

Heat Gun/Hair Dryer

HTC Amaze 4G Take Apart Repair Guide:

To begin, remove the back battery cover, battery, sim card, and memory card.

Remove the seven (7) Torx T5 screws as located in Figure 1.

Figure 1​

You can now remove the back housing from the rest of the smartphone. Do this by carefully using a safe open pry tool to lift the outer edges, unclipping each clip holding the housing in place.

With the back cover removed, you now have access to the motherboard. The upper portion of the motherboard will have one connection located on the back side of the motherboard. Carefully lift the motherboard away from the rest of the screen assembly and carefully release this connection. It will be a "jaw" connector, so you will need to carefully lift the back flap of the connector and slide the flex cable out of the connection.

Gently fold the motherboard towards the bottom of the phone. There are two (2) flex cables that will need to be released. Both will be covered by mylar tape. Remove the tape and release both jawbone connectors. With these flex cables released, you can remove the motherboard from the rest of the phone.

Figure 2​

Now, heat the front of the screen using a hair dryer or heat gun. Use quick movements, not staying in one area for too long. Medium - high heat will be required to properly warm the adhesive holding the screen assembly in place. Take your time and reheat as required. Also be aware of the 2 flex cables that are located under the screen assembly (touch screen and LCD screen flex cables).

Figure 3​

Once the screen assembly has been removed from the housing, you can now use a small flat head screwdriver or similar to carefully separate the LCD screen from the touch screen digitizer. Heat may be required.

You can now replace either the touch screen digitizer or the LCD screen.

Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Sticky Glue

Just a quick q, the digitizer is glued to the lcd screen. When separating the digitizer from the lcd there's a lot of glue residue left on the lcd. So of course the question is how to remove the glue and what do you use to glue the new digitizer to the LCD? Any detail would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
The best way to remove the adhesive is to heat it. You can use a hot blow dryer, this will loosen the adhesive bond. You can purchase adhesive strips from our website when sealing it back together.
