[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude2k5:
What I get from this is Apple users blindly buy apps and hope they work for what they want it to do (As there is no refund). With Android I'm going to look for the free app if i'm looking for a specific function. If it does it well, then It might entice me to look into the paid version to see what extras you get if you pay for it. There are a lot of crap apps, and you kinda have to test them all to find the best one that works for you. It's annoying when there are no free apps on Apple to test what you want to do, and if the app you bought isn't what you thought it was or has problems, you can't refund. Sucks!

I really hate waking up, reading a thread and finding out Im poor.

I really need to talk to the IRS and get my 30 sum thousand dollars I sent them last year back.. do they not know Im poor?!?

What else can the Apple gods tell me??

Apple has kept a pretty consistent 1 year release schedule. Also why would you expect a company to lower their prices when they are selling their products as fast as they can? They arn't charities.

Yeah...the vivid is surprisingly easy to take apart...did it months ago to change the color of my capacitive button lights

Thanks for sharing!

not fully functional digitizer

Hey ,

i used your guide step by step and once i put the vivid back together and booted the digitizer is not 100% functional. I get partial response

any thoughts ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jbplumbing.ca:
That happened to me with an HTC Sensation. I would get weird touch screen issues like it would lose track of my fingers halfway up the screen I tore the ribbon on the digitizer I didn't even notice
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Only time this happened to me was when I nicked the ribbon with an exacto knife...

Hey guyz,

does anybody have an idea where I can buy a set of plastic connectors for capacity light. I've got the phone with the replaced digitizer but the capacity buttons aren't litted. I'd like to install them if I find the set of this plastic things.

What is the right name for them, by the way?

My Vivid Sceen got broken, its Touch screen digitizer is cracked but the underlying LCD is fine... Touch digitizer is selling seperately but online reviews of product say that you cant change Digitizer only... If screen is cracked you have to change the LCD too...

Anyone changed the digitizer can tell me plz...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Changed just the digitizer three times on my vivid... Never touched the LCD.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jjdoctor:
thanks... now tell me where did you get it from U.S?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Repairs universe... More expensive than others I saw... But it appears to be OEM quality.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] EyeGee:
Grr.. just changed out my cracked screen. Somehow I was able to break the lcd. Not quite sure how I did it through. It all looks good on the surface, but when I turn on my phone You can't see anything except lines of color:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] repairsuniverse:
Be sure all of the internal connections are securely in place involving the digitizer. If it still doesn't work you may have damaged a cable connected to the digitizer or another important part.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] spydergt:
Hey ,

yea this was a while ago turns out it was a bad digitizer the seller replaced it and the replacement worked fine thanks

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Are there any OEM digitizers for sale? Or are all replacement digitizers after market? Which ones have people had the best luck with? Cracked my glass this weekend :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yosoywilson78:
You could have damaged a ribbon cable or you could have a faulty digitizer. It sucks to do but CAREFULLY take it apart and reassemble it checking the ribbon cables and secure connections. You have nothing to lose at this point. LOL
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] repairsuniverse:
Our digitizers are built to the exact specifications of the OEM, I believe you will find them to be high quality. If you're interested in purchasing one visit our site (link in our signature).

repalced digitizer

A couple of weeks ago I replaced the digitizer on my HTC vivid; the screen was horribly cracked, so my dad got me the digitizer and some phone tools for christmas. I followed the Phone Doctors digitizer repair video, and when I replaced the digitizer it was incredibly easy to break the ribbon on the old one (which was fine since it was to the trash with it). Just wanted to warn people, when you get to removing the digitizer you need to be VERY VERY CAREFUL.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bonespanda:
Okay so this happened...

Thinking about changing it myself but I'm not sure which parts I need. The touch screen works great, I just have a very badly cracked screen. This is going to be spare phone so spending $100+ to get it repaired is not an option. Frankly, I'm currently using it for a couple of days (lent the my HTC One to my husband) until I can get another but I want to save this one.

Any help is appreciated...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
Well, first I'll link the instruction video I used to replace my digitizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQb82kJ2Smc

Next, the part in question (you can just search amazon and other sites xda recommends if you're not comfortable with that particular one I linked): http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vivid-Scr...id=1407259261&sr=8-1&keywords=vivid+digitizer

The tools I used: http://www.amazon.com/Repair-Versat...670&sr=8-1&keywords=phone+repair+screwdrivers

3M adhesive: http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Stic...F8&qid=1407259705&sr=8-4&keywords=3m+adhesive

(this seems to be the exact same one I used; just use multiple little strips whenever the video uses larger strips)

Phone doctors also has a $37 kit that includes the digitizer, tools, screwdriver, and tape: http://phonedoctors.com/product/htc-vivid-touch-screen-glass-digitizer/

Good luck! It wasn't that difficult when I did it, but it did take multiple hours to disassemble, be extra careful, and make sure I got all the broken glass.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antique_Angel:
Hi guys. So today I created 300mb ext4 partition on my SD card (8GB) with Partition Wizard. I did everything like it was in tutorial, I've got one ext4, 300mb, 4kb clasters and 7700mb FAT32 card. The thing is. After I did it. My PC don't shows me my SD card in "my computer". When I launch Partition Wizard, the drives are still there, but in my PC there is no SD cards. I set it active and gave it a letter (F:), but nothing.

After that I inserted other card to my computer and the same thing. My pc don't recognize any SD card, but it recognizes when I launch Partition Wizard.

Can anyone explain me what the hell is happening and how I solve that please?

Windows Problem

HI there,

The problem is that windows is uncapable of reading or writing to superior filesystems than it's own rubbish and unreliable fat32 and ntfs filesystems.

Download any version of linux that you fancy from Distrowatch.org, burn the cd and boot from it.. You may work with it running from the cd and dont even have to install it..

It will let you use your sd card properly.. Youll also have read/write access to your windows disk and files from any major linux live-cd..

I suggest Mint 11 LXDE 64 bit, it comes with everything you need preinstalled including all codecs and flash player..

Youll notice how rubbish windows is if you give it a try.. Your computer will run much faster even running live from the cd.. When installed, it's even faster again..

Did I mention it can't get viruses?

Have fun and good luck,

CtrlAltDel

Thanks, I myself am linux lover. But I can't use it. There is lot of programs I need and Linux does not support them. For example Adobe progs, 3Ds max.

And the last thing that prevents me from using linux is my GPU, I've got two GPUs (hybrid) Intel and nVidia. So when I install linux, it is only intel that I can use. No drivers for nVidia and optimus hybrid system. =(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aslan93:
Hi, there is very little information about the ICS update coming out to droid RAZR. The US XT912 users were able to install a leak through using cheesecake a couple of days ago but that was only good for people who downloaded from the server and sideloading wasnt an option, therefore GSM users wont be able to have a patched up version of that.

Link to that thread if you want to have a look:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575065

(the leak originated from droidrazr website oh and this method no longer works because the update was pulled from servers)

Current GSM XT910 Official ICS Status: NOT RELEASED(not at all)

However there was an alpha version back in january which was pretty useless..

Anyway the Verizon's RAZR is very close to seeing ICS and the GSM version hasnt even been hinted yet.

So let's make this thread a collection of information on this subject because there is nothing like this on XDA(verizon versions mosly mentioned). Post any news articles, rumours or success stories.

However please no BS! If you say you got the OTA post a screenshot! Thanks in advance.

Those who cant wait for the official release you have a few 4.0.3 options all mostly smooth and working apart from hw acceleration(no video, chrome etc :( ) and maybe a couple of other things but i use one as a daily rom and its perfect for me(AOKP)

So here:

http://rombot.droidhive.com/spyder.html

you'll need to do the following to install from GB or any other rom:

1.Have root

2.Have CW recovery(I use RAZR bootstrap apk: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/mototorola-droid-razr-clockworkmod-recovery/)

3.Wipe data/cache

4.Install .zip

5.Those roms are intended for US RAZR so use a patch afterwards: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1495884

6.Install GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps (the ones for CM9)

7.Wipe cache and reboot

8.If camera doesnt work(pictures) go back into recobery and wipe cache or flash a patch again and wipe cache

As I've mentioned in a few other places, I've flashed a China Retail leak successfully (from this thread). Some screenshots at this link. Note build date is March 21, pretty recent, so maybe only a few more weeks before they are all officially released? If they validate a build for a month, that is.

Because this is a China Retail flash, no Google Services, and I'm trying to figure out how to root. Any ideas would be great help.

Development

Rollouts begin in Q2 2012.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] manny315:

It was even said that gsm version will get it earlier than cdma version.. They didn't even change the status "development phase" and "Q2 roll out." Q2 just walk right in front of us.

I flashed AOKP 4.0.3 ported a while ago. I can't resist not using ICS anymore.. so far it's quite stable. Only problem that affected my daily use is Video Recording and Face Unlock.

To prevent problems like Data, BT, etc.. just make sure you are in the right version for ICS update. (You can see on that thread some nutheads..)

I got excited about the update but ICS can't be only 20 some odd megs.

Don't want to be the first one to bear the bad news but if they are working on fixing bugs in GB, I don't think we will be getting ICS anytime soon from LG/AT&T.

2 questions-

Has anybody successfully installed this yet?

If I go to install it, I would want to remove CWM recovery, does uninstalling the CWM app do that or is there more to uninstalling the recovery?
[LG Nitro HD] drummer07:
You need to flash the stock recovery from adb. See the bootloop thread for instructions. Although after flashing I still want able to get update to install.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:

well, i won't be doing any updates then eh, not a fan of adb/windows. exercise in frustration for me.

wait, can i run the adb command to do this throught the terminal emulator on the phione?
[LG Nitro HD] chrisrotolo:
probably because going into *#*#INFO#*#* and choosing select radio band.. causes CRASH. Hope they fixed that with the baseband update. Hopefully option in settings to choose preferred newtwork type as well.
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
Can anyone pull the baseband off of an updated phone?

I think this might also be needed

The two commands copy the partition to the .img file on sdcard.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
@kernelpan1c,

Yup, I was going to ask for these images as well. It would really simplify things for people who don't want to go through the trouble of returning to stock simply to get an updated baseband and firmware. It'd be nice if someone shared their system, boot, and possibly even stock recovery images as well.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I don't think anybody has installed it!
[LG Nitro HD] samomamo:
I installed it but I was on stock with no root. Noe I'm trying to root its not rooting
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Oh snap, they probably disabled the ability to root with this update. I wonder if it would be possible to keep root if you are already rooted, though...

Seems like a big risk to take just to try to get an updated baseband and firmware :(

I went back to original stock with ADB push of img files in unbricking solution. I then updated with the update and still had root access. I was able to make a backup of baseband and firmwareand and flash ROM Manager Recovery and I am now back on CM9 (Which is working great!!)

The usual thing that I have found is when I flashed the stock img files again to get the update back (to get a backup of the update recovery), the phone update states that there is no update available so I was unable to get a backup of the update recovery but have had no issues installing custom roms or restoring nandroid backups.
