[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Ok, yes the r800x (Verizon xperia play) can change carriers. But the carrier has to also work on a CDMA network. If it doesn't the phone wont work end of story. If the carrier is CDMA you will need to look up how to flash the phone to operate on there network. Some carriers will do this for you but MOST wont. Infact MOST will tell you you cant do it. From what I have read yes you will need to unlock your bootloader to change carriers.

Get the idea of a sim card out of your head now. The sim card slot is as real as the hidden hdmi port. IT DOESN'T EXIST! Unless you have one of the bata models which wouldn't be possible since there GSM phones.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
You obviously have never opened your R800x. It is exactly where the SIM slot is on other models. EVERY. SINGLE. R800x. HAS. ONE.

@216monster , I didn't mean to throw you under the bus :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
I know :D, I couldn't help it, I love that saying! Plus I'm willing to potentially destroy something..except I believe I read the sim slot physically doesn't work, so it could be beyond your idea, which was still a good one IMo.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playcool1:
hey buddy i want to knw how did you do that, using indian carriers in r800x . help me coz i m also having tha same phone and i m not able to use indian carriers..

Flashing tools

Can you upload the files again please...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
It may have the slot, but SIM cards won't work in it. GSM and CDMA are two different technologies. CDMA does not use SIM, and CDMA phones cannot use SIM cards. If you stuck a SIM in that tray, it wouldn't work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
Never said it would work. He was denying there is a sim card slot in the R800x (CDMA model). Hardware wise, it is disabled, but it's there physically.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj___:
I have one from Bluegrass Cellular. Does firmware for Verizon R800x will work (also, unlocked bootloader needed for ROM rom that I want)?

hi everyone

im looking for this lockscreen

can anyone told my where i can get it to my galaxy s2 ?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] norpan111:
Can't see the pictures I'm afraid :/
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] saym0n:
upload again

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iekansh:
That's the default Samsung stock lockscreen. You will find it on any of the ICS Sammy ROM or GB roms with JKAY Deluxe.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] saym0n:
thanks for the replay

how can i get it from another rom?

im using pure ics 7.2 on my device.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jbAttitudEs:
here it is , just CMW flash
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] saym0n:
thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] luisdv:

does it work for 4.0?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hackproof:
I really like this lockscreen, but it only works on CM9. Is it possible to create such for LP7?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] S1NN3R:
I agree, i reckon the lockscreens on the current ROMS should follow this format, its clean and elegant
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] darknessmessiah:
I think that this is one of the Go Locker's themes ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Go Locker doesn't display the network name, does it?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hackproof:
No, that's exactly system locker. Archive contains only android.policy.jar and framework_res.apk - these are android system files.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hackproof:
Almost done. Look the same, but phone works as unlock and sms as camera.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Okay, after reading your question/issue thoroughly, it seems that you have tried almost everything but to no avail.

First thing I noticed was, " I started experiencing random restarts, sleep death, and charge death"

This may indicate bent battery pins, or just a faulty battery.

(Have you tried a different battery? Checked the pins?)

Have you tried going to complete stock and using your phone normally? If yes, did you experience any restarting, sleep death, charge death or any kind of issues? If not, do so.

Have you ever had your device stuck while flashing something? radio ? bootloader ? and you had to remove battery?

Have you ever felt that your device is overheating or lagging a lot ?

Have you ever dropped your device ? Had something spilled on it? ( This may seem a weird question, but ... you never know :D )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voyager529:
I do my best to walk all the beaten paths before I ask for help. If I'm going to ask everyone else to spend their time helping me out, the least I can do is demonstrate that solving the issue is worth my own time.

I've got five different batteries I rotate regularly. Two do admittedly need replacing, but the batteries all work perfectly in the WinMo handset. Additionally, I've had instances where I've been playing Robo Defense, and while it won't respond to input until it does its reboot, the game still carries on with the screen fully lit. However, the issue doesn't appear to be related to a capacitive touch screen failure, since a known unresponsive screen has ALWAYS been met with an restart, given enough time, and a battery pull ALWAYS returns it to proper working order.

If you're talking stock as in WinMo 6.5, then 'yes' in the sense that the issue first started on the first HD2 (we'll designate it "Alpha"), which was running Android, while the second HD2 ("Bravo") was runing WM. Since I too wondered if it might be a hardware/bootloader/whatever issue, I task29'd both phones and made Alpha run WM and Bravo run Android. Alpha, which would SoD regularly with Android, has never done so with WM. Bravo, which never had an issue with WM, SoD's with Android. Having both phones at my disposal has enabled me to pretty reasonably conclude that it's something to do with Android and rule out a hardware issue.

The closest I had to that was a radio revision whereby the bootloader never got past the 'loading' prompt, but neither that, nor the MagLDR install, nor any of the radio installations I've tried have required a reflash due to a botched installation attempt.

If you're a fan of the SyFy Channel series "Warehouse 13", reading this question felt like being asked, "did you smell anything that you'd describe as smelling like fudge?". That being said, I've occasionally noticed it, but it's never seemed to be correlated to a reboot/SoD. Usually graphics intensive apps or GPS navigation will do it, but that's been mostly consistent ever since I owned an iPhone 2G. If you're going for "the CPU is being pegged" as a cause for the SoD, I'll be a bit more vigilant as I use it to see if a heat issue seems to trigger it, but my immediate reaction is "no".

Not weird, perfectly understandable, and I'm pretty good with keeping my gear unsmashed :D

Hope it helps!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Have you checked your pins? Swapping batteries make them vulnerable.

Also, I have never ever had a non responsive screen. So this may, JUST MAY, have something to do with a hardware related issue.

From the redded part, I can understand that the issue started on Alpha, and soon thereafter it had affected Bravo.

This could mean that it is a thing shared between the two devices, a thing you do/use on both devices.

Maybe an sdcard ? Have you tried booting android from sd? have you tried booting android from NAND without an sdcard?

lol, okay then, it's not the device overheating.

Let's narrow it down, your both devices started to have charging/screen issues. With a relatively close time from each other.

Now, there is something bugging me. If Bravo was on WinMo, and you said you have had no issues on WinMo whatsoever, how did you know that the it was is experiencing the same issues?

(If your answer is going to be "Because I put android on it" , then the issue probably originated from the way you flash android.)

You also said that: on Winmo, both devices ran fine and on Android both devices had SoD's .

This may mean, the ROM you are/were using is simply malfunctioning. Have you tried various ROMs or it is just one ROM ?

Sorry for being late, awaiting your reply :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
lmao !! xD

But that is weird. Why would your phone reboot when the app is frozen ? When you freeze an app, it disappears from the app launcher, but being available on the lockscreen may be the cause.

I don't think it's ATK, since I was on the SD versions of Android, I used to use ATK. And never had a problem. On the other hand, I did notice some random reboots on ICS after freezing some system apps with Titanium Backup.

That said, these reboots shouldn't occur when on typhoon, Hyperdroid or any non-ICS ROM, should they ?

I'm still confused about this "Originally, Alpha ran Android and Bravo ran WinMo. This problem started"

There is no way in hell, two separate devices, would face the same issue without any relation.

And, forgive me but, if the problem only occurred on Alpha, why did you put Android on Bravo while it was working fine? (Again, sorry, but I need an answer for this :D )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voyager529:
Update: The phone froze twice yesterday, but has been fine since...wait, literally just rebooted as I was typing this after I hit the 'home' key.

I'm thinking that at some point early next week, I'll try task29ing again and put typhoon on there with no task killer and no alternate launcher and see if I get anywhere.

To answer your question, the problem started on Alpha. As a desktop computer tech, when a desktop has issues like this, it tends to be faulty RAM. Since phones don't have user-swappable DIMMs, I wanted to rule out a hardware issue. Alpha has been running WinMo 6.5 flawlessly ever since, which leads me to believe that it is, indeed, a software issue of some kind.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I don't know if it was just me not reading this whole thing properly (which it probably was, given the amount of information you're providing) but you never seemed to have actually answered the questions about bent battery pins. You mentioned that you are often swapping batteries which makes the battery pins vulnerable to being unintentionally bent out of shape, and they may not be making contact with the battery properly. I have no clue as to how this would really help you (maybe the reboots, not the screen issue), but it wouldn't do any harm to check it out :)

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Didn't see this earlier, but surely the question is 'why would you leave the HD2 on the world's worst OS?' :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voyager529:
I'm disinclined to believe it's the battery pins for the following reasons:

1.) in certain cases, the screen is unresponsive, but the send/end buttons light up, indicating that power is indeed flowing.

2.) in certain cases, I've had the phone do a 'hot restart' (i.e. not going through the bootloader, just showing the boot animation) mid phone call or during other kinds of use. If it was a momentary disconnect, wouldn't it be doing a complete, cold restart?

As for why I'm using Windows Mobile, two reasons:

1.) Android has been giving me issues lately, as this thread clearly illustrates. For all the crap Windows Mobile 6.5 gets, it's been pretty stable, ALWAYS rings, is significantly less demanding on battery life.

2.) Its killer feature for me is that it enables text messaging through Exchange/Outlook 2010, something no other mobile OS presently provides. Additionally, it does all of the core phone functions I use (calls, texting, tethering, web browsing with Opera Mobile, Facebook notifications/caller ID sync, USB mass storage, video/music playback, Swype input, etc.). It might not have 100,000,000,000,000 apps, but the Sencity flavor of EnergyROM is extremely reliable.

Joey
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Even if you can't feel it overheating, try putting it in a cool place for some time until you can feel that the aluminium back cover is cold to touch, then do something which would normally cause a hot reboot or any other issue. An open window with a slight breeze is normally good enough to cool the phone down (so long as it isn't too sunny or hot obviously).

I guess you're right about WinMo being the most stable OS (although from what I've heard WP7 is very good as well) but I just couldn't live with it. Even if I started experiencing large issues I would do everything in my power to not use that OS again! Used it the other day on my friend's HD2 which he now keeps purely as an alarm clock and it's ghastly, I found it painful to use again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Will checking the battery pins trigger a bomb ? Why don't you just CHECK THE PINS to eliminate all the doubt. Instead of the assumptions you keep making !

And do what Nigel has said, and report back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voyager529:
I apologize for my earlier lack of clarity.

I did check the pins for any obvious bending or lack of pressure, and they all appeared to be correctly shaped and pressured. As a result, I'm hesitant to blame it on the pins' shape and pressure at a micro level because of the reasons below - if the pins are bent in such a manner that it's undetectable by me personally but causing the problems in functionality, I wouldn't expect it to happen mid-call or mid-game.

In the none-too-distant future, I do intend on doing another task29 and going back to MagLDR and trying a previously untried ROM. Also, I have ordered new batteries, in the event that it's the physical batteries themselves.

I'll report back with what happens, and again, than you so much for all of your help.

Joey
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Ah, OK thanks for clearing that up (I, like Marvlesz, thought you simply were refusing to check the battery pins for some odd reason). Did you try the fridge trick? I've read in many places that it works for some people, maybe it could help you too (although don't leave it in there for too long; I'm no expert but I would assume phones aren't designed for that :p) and report back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voyager529:
Just thought I'd follow up with everyone...

On April 22, I task29'd, MagLDR'd, and installed HyperDroid-CM7-Observant-Opossum -v5.9.0. Since then, my phone has been working properly.

Thus, I am chalking the whole ordeal up to one of three things:

1.) an issue with a backup of some kind.

2.) an issue with the internal memory that I managed to 'partition around' when I installed MagLDR again.

3.) an issue with ICS/kernel compatibility that was unique to my phones for some odd reason.

Regardless, for the past ten days, the only reason I've had to reboot the phone was due to a dead battery. Thank you everyone who watched this thread and helped me with my issue. I am greatly appreciative of your willingness and patience.

[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
Does anyone else have problems with web page rendering slowly on ICS? I've tried various ICS roms pre new firmware and post new firmware, with maxthon, dolphin, and opera and the webpages load much slower and in block segments on ICS. Also, clicking links can require multiple presses or having to long press and hit open. This is the main reason I cannot stay on ICS for longer then 2 days at a time. Feels like it defeats the purpose of lte. I'd love to have some feedback on this.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
This is a new feature in ics, it supposed to help.pages load faster
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The only time I have any issues in the stock ICS browser, dolphin, or ICS Browser+ is when the page loads flash plus tons of other crap like http://escapistmagazine.com . And even then it's only a bit slow.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
I have realized that but is anyone actually finding it to be slower and harder to get links to work like I am? Maybe I'm crazy and it just seems longer? But I really doubt it. I never get mad at my browsing speed on GB but on ICS I get frustrated quite often. I research things on my phone constantly so every little bit is noticeable. They're not intensive sights either. It is usually forums, newegg.com, and sites of that nature...
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
yeah ive tried every browser out there and the web page rendering and lagginess is horrid on the ics roms.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
I'm on rezrom 3.3 right now and so far maxthon seems to be the smoothest. Dying for some aosp
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
Also, handcent not having pictures on ICS really bugs me as it is my go to messaging app. I know there is a fix for that but really annoying if you flash a lot and are a noob to adw like me
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
I've never noticed any lag with ICS. Maybe you live out in the middle of nowhere and you don't get a great signal??
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
Agreed about the aosp, soo much faster than sense. Im jealous of the razr. They already have aosp.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Download chrome beta
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Probably some hack job version that you need to use safestrap on for the dual boot. Plus I think it's on the GSM version only because of the LTE radio again. Could be wrong about the RAZR but I don't look @ those forums anymore. If you really want AOSP so badly what's stopping you from getting a Nexus?
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
Haha even at work where I get 25 down and 13 up on 4g web pages still load slower on ICS from my experience. I am trying chrome. Might go to cleanrom 4.3 as well as I still love 1.7.5 with incredikernel uv'd. The battery life and (launcher pro) are amazing.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
The amazing screen, camera and not toy build feel on the rezound is what made me get it over the nexus. I know aosp will come and I'm semi-patiently waiting. They have some good devs for the nexus though, I came from a dx and a lot of them went over to the nexus.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
nope both the gsm and cdma have miui, cm9 and gummy aosp, i checked. i doubt it's a "hacked" version. im passing on the gnexus but i am considering the jump to the razr maxx for both aosp and the battery life.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
I love the feel/build of moto phones. If I wouldn't have side by sided the screen quality of the maxx and rezound I would have got the maxx. My gf just got a bionic because it was the cheapest decent 4g phone and it's faster then my rezound (but the screen is AWFUL). Think sense is the culprit and makes me like it even less.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i just got off the phone with verizon corporate and they are thinking i have a shady signal where i live. they want me to test for a week and if it's bad service they may be shipping me a razr maxx so i can at least get through a work day without charging. not sure if ill do it or not yet as i really like the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
If you do go to moto your only complaints will probably be the screen and camera and maybe the locked bootloader which didnt bother me much on my dx cuz it is really only good for undervolting and right now you can only do that with GB on the rezound as far as i know.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
boy did we go off topic lol. :D

ill weigh my options but again as far as the slow ics transitions/rendering in web browsers, ive tried every browser out there and i have it, it does get annoying.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I'm talking about they have to use safestrap or w/e it's called and it's pretty much a dual boot. I don't think they have unlocked the BL the last time I checked. I personally can't stand the subpar screen and resolution on the RAZR. To each their own I suppose.
[HTC Rezound] audiophizile:
From a user standpoint I didn't mind having the boot loader locked. I do enjoy undervtythough as I did se a small increase in battery life doing so on incredikernel. The screen was the deal killer for me, but if the Maxx would have had this screen and camera I probably would have got it instead. Still have reboot menus and can flash splash screens and custom boot animations on a locked bl through rom toolbox. Jrummy did great things for the dx
[HTC One X] XDAgeek:
All my previous phones have had removeable storage by way of an SD or MicroSD card.

This means that when my phone develops a bad fault and needs to go back to the suppliers for repair, I can simply remove the data card, and all my personal data, medical records, business critical data, etc are safely kept at my place, and not exposed to some little eejit at the repair shop.

With the One X, the data is stored on 'internal' storage, and cannot be removed. What happens when a fault means I cannot boot the phone and delete the sensitive data?

There are unconfirmed suggestions that the internal storage is Linux EXT4. Is the user data encrypted on this device based on user security password, rendering it not available to prying eyes, and only available to the designated user.

Or did no-one at HTC bother thinking about this?

Could be a show stopper for many corporates, and individuals.

Regards,

XDAgeek
[HTC One X] Bruc3h:
I've just had a look at the settings and there's an option for internal storage encryption which requires a pin to be entered each time the device is powered on. ;)
[HTC One X] XDAgeek:
Aha! Good spot!

I wonder if the system take a performance hit using this option...

Off to do some tests.

Regards,

XDAgeek
[HTC One X] XDAgeek:
Obviously this is a useful option, but it does warn that there is no unencrypt option, apart from to factory reset the phone and install everything again.

Having just installed everything nicely on my phone, I think I will skip this option for now in case it causes any performance hit on the phone. I will test it one day when I need to rebuild anyway.
[HTC One X] drewy:
tbh if you are sending a phone in for repair I'd advise a factory reset regardless of whether you've got a removal sd card. Not everything gets stored on the sd card.
[HTC One X] XDAgeek:
tbh, you aint thought this through have you.

How you gonna do this factory reset on your phone which will no longer start up at all, even into recovery mode, which was my initial premise for sending it back to repair?
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
I would keep all personal data in Dropbox, then unlink the device through Dropbox website if the phone will not boot and you need to send it back for repair.

Google doc, vpn are another possible solutions.
