And you can always downgrade the hboot to an older exploitable version. If you were to upgrade.

At least there are ways to so this on other devices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
You cannot downgrade hboot now, so in my understanding, if an HTC patch goes through and bring your phone back to s-on (assuming you already had it s-offed), u wont be able to do it then as well. This is what I want to prevent, cuz I heard HTC patched some previous exploits for other phones, but dont know nothing about how exactly they do that: do they push an automatic update, will it work on already s-off devices or covers only devices that are still s-on, do we have to block certain processes from accessing the net in order to prevent updates? Thats what im asking, just precaution measures against an eventual f up in the future, because I dont think HTC would let go of one of their most expensive phones. So if anyone knows anything about this, issues with other devices, whatever, just share.

The more we know, the better... Cheers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
That cannot be true, because there are people who bought s-off Amazes from retail stores with stock ROMs...
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
yeah roughly less than 1% of amaze users i'm sure, and the official updates dont usually correspond to the device being s-off, usually its mandated by the status of the bootloader. hence why a device can be s-off and still be downgraded to receive OTA.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Just instal a custom ics rom, and u wont have to worry about this problem

Hi,

I got mine this morning.

Set it up and it all went smooth until i noticed the drop down menu on the web browser started going fuzzy. the whole image went weird for about 5 seconds then came back.

The other thing i wanted to point out is that the battery life is terrible, Infact terrible is an understatement. It only lasted about 20 mins and kept beeping to recharge, i am planning to charge it for 8 hours then test it again before flushing it down the toilet.
[HTC One X] Diamondback:
You need to charge to phone before using it. It doesn't come pre-charged usually.

In Egypt I see donkeys almost everyday but you take the cake. You should not be allowed near a HTC or a toilet for that matter. Jackass.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Forget that, guys. This thing is a joke -- when I put my ear next to the headphone jack, I can't even hear any music coming out, and when I put the phone on top of my printer it wouldn't print my photos either.

HTC are obviously idiots and this is the worst. Phone. EVER!!!!!1!111!ONES

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priceyrulz:
Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster here.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note, and I need to KILL it.

By kill, I mean, it has to stop working (wont even get to home screen etc) without taking it apart or anything.

Normally I can do it when an update is available, and I just download the update, and while it's installing, I remove the battery and format the SD card or whatever, and it makes the phone come up with an error message when it turns on.

As I live in Australia, the Galaxy Note has only just been released, and there are no ICS updates or anything for it, so I can't kill it that way.

I figure I'd ask the experts here if ANY of yo know how to do this.

Thanks heaps!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Well.....if you need to kill your phone, just flash this "sbl.bin" by PC ODIN (PDA)

Your phone will be dead (no screen, no lights, no sound.)

Enjoy crazy dude :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
Why kill it? Couldn't you sell it and make a happy note owner? Use the money for a new phone. Seems like a shame to waste a good phone. I'm sure some devs would appreciate a phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gutterball:
Yeah but those 2 games aren't a gigantic franchise like this game. I mean this is a new dark knight game thats gotta be a huge seller especially since its selling for 2.99.

Also now I hear they have a new simpsons game out for iphone too. My whole point is something as wildly popular as the simpsons or batman should be available to android users too. Thats all. I've never even heard of temple run till a couple of days ago and now I'm gonna go google instagram. lol:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Tbh, the iphone will always have the best gaming experience of any mobile OS. It has the best graphics, the best selection, and the best prices. It gets all games before any other OS too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
We got that gimmicky other version, Blood & Glory. :D

Yea exactly cause we just got it for Android, and iPhone has had millions of downloads for those 2 apps. In one day Instagram had 1,000,000+ downloads on Android.

So I assume you don't social yourself with many iPhone users. :p

Whether you want to believe it or not, just cause its a big franchise won't mean its going to be a big hit...Stupid little games can sometimes blow up more.

Though I wish we had many of the iOS games its something I know when I entered Android its not going to happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Yep think of it as this...

Apple = Xbox

Android = PS3

We got better hardware but our games aren't quite as good, and the ones that are take forever to head our way. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Your analogy is flawed.

Apple = Consoles (whichever you're a fanboy for)

Android = PC.

Think about it: Apple iPhones have just a couple different sets of hardware, while Android runs the gamut from phones that don't even support OpenGL ES 1.1 to Tegra3. It's like on PC where a developer has to support quad Radeon 7950s AND nVidia Geforce 8800GTXs, while console devs are able to only target one set of hardware on each respective console.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
I totally agree with you!

Android = billion phone/tablet models

Apple = 1 phone ( the easy life )

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleak3993:
I read on various threads that it was not convenient to install setvsel with CM7, I wondered then, there is another app which controls the behavior of the CPU, for example, when the phone is with the screen off, stay in the VSEL 1, or some one-click widget that let the cpu max at VSEL 2, these last days I've been testing the performance options CM7 whole day and was running at 800 mHz (using 300/800/1200) and only when needed most performance, either to play shadowgun for example, or browse faster, changed it to 1200 mhz, finally, after 12 hours I still have 40% battery...

I apologize for my bad English, I hope you understand the idea.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King_Rat:
Yeah a lot of people say don't install ^^

on my other android ph which has CM7 - I use a 3rd party app to control CPU w/o any issues ;-)

btw... they (other users) said don't do it either :meh:

they say that because cm7 has a built-in overclocking feature in bootmenu, although that can only set the frequency and voltage, nothing else. disable that option in bootmenu, and use setvsel instead, thats what i do, never had any problems so far (and ive been using cm7 for a year now).

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleak3993:
i install setvsel and test it for few hours, and i notice that the option to set max vsel2 is not working, still going to vsel3
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir Flashalot:
No lags/freezing, besides the ones caused by the Quarx' CM9 rom. Since I own a tablet, usage of the Defy decreased, especially Internet browsing. I normally use it to call, text, gps navigate, music listening, but most of all flashing roms. :) But I'm no smartphone zombie. On normal usage, it lasts 3-4 days. The previous settings were unstable though, my signature is now updated with the current stable ones.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unosettecinque:
I'm afraid I do not understand ... are you using the CM9 of Quarx with setvsel? If so, what configuration exactly?

Hi everyone, I was looking forward to join the I717 community but sadly, I don't think I'll be getting my Note because of some ******* who decided to rip off people thru ebay, I was so happy by the fact that I was getting a new Note, and now I'm trying to get my money back and the guy keeps giving excuses, ebay told me to wait until Saturday to open a didn't receive item case, but for what I know is gonna take some time, the bad thing is that I sold my Sensation and my T-Mobile's Galaxy S2 to be able to buy the Note and now I'm stuck with a Prepaid LG Flip phone. Beware when using ebay, don't wanna end up like me. Bad thing $600

Anyone here can point me on the right direction...

Dispute! If you paid with Paypal then you'll most likely recover your money.

Nothing you can do but wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ajtorres14:
Yes, I did used Paypal, guess youre right all I can do is wait... which is not easy when you spend that kind of amount, I am an a 28yr. DoD veteran (Sadly, because of an accident) I've dealt with situations that I never thought I'll ever witness, but I never been played like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
Buyers are always covered. Which is tough for selling. But it gives buyers some confidence that they have some sort of recourse. Without buyers ebay can't survive, even with millions of sellers ;)

Only way the seller can win the dispute, is if he can show tracking signature delivery to the registered pay pal address.

It takes 10 days at least, sorry to hear you have to go through this, it will just take some patience.

Try not to instigate or piss the seller off. Just keep it cool and let ebay/paypal work for you. At times they may end up sending you the item damaged on purpose, then the claiming gets harder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
I used Ebay to get mine and they were a great seller i believe their name was cellstoreusa and also got a 2 year squaretrade warranty as well I would just say next time make sure you are buying from those sellers who have the highest ratings, Im sorry this happened to you though i hope you get your money back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
From what I heard, you have to use eBay for shipping in order for eBay to trust your tracking information. If you shipping the stuff youself without using eBay to produce shipping labels, you are SOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adelmundo:
Not true.you have to use a shipper that provides online tracking our a method where deliver can be confirmed. You can use USPS with delivery confirmation, UPS with tracking, Fed Ex, DHL, etc.as long add you can show that it had tracking and show proof it was delivered via online for example. I am a Powerseller on EBay btw.

Don't worry. You will get your money back, but it will take some time. I got scammed some years ago. It took a few weeks of going back and forth with ebay, paypal, and the seller.

*USPS with "signature" delivery confirmation. To the verified shipping address on record with Pay Pal.

Sorry to hear that, sounds like you may have been sold a Best Buy demo unit. Those are usually missing the Stylus, battery door, but everything can be bought OEM except the box. No box to compare the IMEI usually is cause to be alert and weary.

I was offered a phone in that condition, while testing it, it would go into the orange demo screen and randomly show feature videos. But it can be reset via recovery.

I mostly buy my devices locally on Craigslist. Usually cheaper than ebay and I get to really test it out before paying. Not say youre guaranteed anything tho. Still a risk. YMMV

I just sold my Iphone on Ebay and they are so anal about protecting the buyer, I was upset on how long I had to wait to get my money. Now I'm not that upset about it. If you do exactly what they want and either use Ebay to print yor shipping label or upload your tracking data immediatley, there's no way to get ripped off except maybe for missing items or defects. I didn't get my money until Ebay got confirmation of delivery. I then had to wait 4 days to get my money from Paypal.
