[T-Mobile LG G2x] proud2b:
Hi everyone I'm a newbie to modifying android phones. I totally loved my stock g2x,but... like everyone else i wanted it to be the best and greatest! i tried installing cm7's nightly build as well as another developers build of ICS. Thats when i started having issues and thought i may have soft bricked my phone. I tried x0xhellx0x's HellFire™ Sandwich v 1.6 p999 4.04 and followed the guide located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513387 to the letter. Not surprisingly it worked like a charm and my g2x is back up and better than before. I was amazed that it automatically downloaded and installed all the apps i had been using previously on the stock g2x. I now have the latest and greatest g2x i can and am thrilled. My advice to any newbie trying to update their rom for the first time is to search the forum extensively, read all they can before they try anything, and if a guide is provided FOLLOW IT!!!!!!!!! I thought the guide for the helfire rom was going to be a pain as it required extra steps but in all honesty it was the easiest since it worked from the reboot without any issues. I've yet to encounter an issue with it and have to give credit to all the developers of the rom it is awesome. I haven't posted any questions here because i found all my answers simply by searching for them. this site is great and truly jammed full of useful and helpful information for newbies if we just look for it(search). Please search ladies and gentleman it worked for me and got my phone working again after i messed it up trying to take a shortcut. please search and read before bricking you phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Wait there is this thing called "search"? First new person on the g2x that used that feature. You deserve a medal and I just recently started and its not as complicated as it seems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] proud2b:
yes it's an awesome "feature" with a nice easy to use and user friendly drop down box which can be found in all forums and threads! i agree it is pretty easy an uncomplicated "IF" you follow the directions/steps outlined. I though the scrubber step was possibly going to be a pain because it made the whole process take a few minutes longer. However it actually made things go much smoother and was less painful in the long run. Imagine actually writing over the data properly preparing the phone for a new rom successfully working... what a concept! All in all it was a perfect solution to a newbies dilemma of a phone that would only stick in a reboot loop after a failed attempt to update the rom after not following all the steps suggested beforehand. Yes us newbies are an impatient bunch LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Holy ****, are pigs flying!?

But seriously it's nice to know there are some people who do search and find what they need.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] proud2b:
yes didn't you hear???? the FAA cleared porky's flight plan at 8AM this morning
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
You should try klathmon's tutorial on hoe to over clock and under clock. I just used it and it made my phone a lot better. It is a lit of reading ( blame him for that, he devotes his time to help people like me and you), but is worth it and shouldn't be too hard to follow. If I can do it so can you

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramblog:
I have installed 89luca89's Serendipity ICS ROM on my SII. In my sleepiness, flashed NavBar Addon.zip from OTA updater via CWM without realising what it is.

Now I have a navbar sitting redundantly on top of my backlit buttons. Now I know I can wipe/reflash the entire ROM to remove that addon.

However, I wish to know if there is any simpler way of just 'uninstalling' an update that was installed via CWM, as this is not the first time such a thing has happened to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracemerin:
There is not an easier way, the easiest way would be to just reflash the ROM and wipe cache and dalvik, a data wipe should not be necessary. The more complicated way would be to extract the correct packages from the original ROM and replace them, but since I'm not on the ROM I couldn't even begin to tell you which files to get and replace.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramblog:
Thank you theracemerin.

Followed your steps. I was a bit reluctant as it had taken me more than 2 hours to download and set up my favorite apps. My ROM is good as new with all the apps as installed.

Have now decided to do a full backup before messing with the system again.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bozlawless:
I Hope I post this to the correct place. I have a 8gb Nook Tablet. I am doing the dual boot with mod 7 on a 8g msd card. I would like to move all the info to a 16g msd card but I have no idea how to do that. Can someone help me with this ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
the best way i can think of is to use dd command to create an image of your entire sdcard and then burn it to the new one, so you keep all the settings, apps, etc.

Then you can use a partition software to extend the last partition of your new 16gb sdcard all the way to the right so you use all the space available.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nikolayds:
As Veronica already mentioned, the correct way is to burn an image

On Windows use a 'win32DiskImager' to make an image of your existing 8gb Card. It has an GUI and it is easy to use. On Linux dd command, if you need the exact command, you can search the forum or ask.

Then put the 16GB card and burn that image on it.

If all is correct you will have 4 partitions (or as many partitions as the 8gb Card).

Next step will be to expand/resize the last partition with 8 GB. Before that, make a copy of the file from the last partition, just in case.

On windows you can do that with PartitionManager or Partition Wizard Mini -> which is free.

I take great care of my tech toys...especially my Prime. But yesterday when I dropped my Transformer on the concrete, I realized anything can happen. It was in my neoprene carrying case with the keyboard attached, and it fell onto one of it's corners nice and solid. I knew for sure something happened, was hoping for just a minor dented corner, but I knew from all the stories here that the screen would be cracked. After 10 mins of growing enough balls to do it, I unzipped the case and checked it out. It is %100 fine...physically and internally!:eek:

So I'm going with SquareTrade. I'm rooted and unlocked, and flash custom ROMS/ kernels also, so as far as Asus is concerned I'm an outcast.

Has anyone had any experience with SquareTrade?

I know they're highly recommended and reliable, but I've never heard of anyone actually using it.

Will they just pay me for it because they can't find any Primes or parts for it?

Do they just send it to Asus anyway?

I would hope they cover bricks, but I'm not sure.

Do you have 30 days or 90 days to purchase? I've heard both.

Thanks guys...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
If it's beyond repair, yes.

While it's still under warranty, you send it to Asus and ST reimburses you for the repair up to the value of your policy.

Voiding your warranty by unlocking it is a grey area. The language in their policy specifically excludes user induced damage related to non-standard h/w and s/w. I don't know if any one here has tested it yet by trying to get reimbursed for a "brick."

I think it's 30 over the web but I've heard of agents doing it outside 30 days over the phone.

Here's a link with more detail...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Very interesting...thanks. So I have to come out of pocket to Asus, then eventually get reimbursed by SquareTrade? That sucks. I've heard of Prime repairs costing almost as much as a new one.

And by it going to Asus, it would be more likely that it would be detected as a brick with modified software etc...definite grey area. I'm actually considering just getting rid of it while it's still in perfect working condition and holding off for the Infinity. It just seems like even if not by me, somethings gonna give. Screen muras, the mysterious cracked glass from the dock, etc.

Got some thinking to do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Coderedpl:
Before I unlocked and got square trade I called them and specifically asked about SOFTWARE unlocking, and say I accidentally dropped it. They said they will cover it, they just stressed to me I can't be opening it physically.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
I just purchased the Square Trade warranty for my Transformer Prime yesterday.

I'm usually not interested in an extended warranty from Best Buy or other retailers. I figure they've done the analysis, and if they paid out more then they took in, they certainly wouldn't be pushing extended warranties.

However, if my Prime were to get damaged, I think I'd want to replace it, and at $500 or so, I really would NOT want to have to come out of pocket again.

Also, the reviews on Square Trade are excellent! Very good user experiences when needing to have a device repaired, or, if it's no longer repairable or replaceable, Square Trade seems to refund your purchase price in full!

FYI: I called Square Trade before buying the extended warranty, and asked the salesperson for a discount code. She offered me 10% code, I told her I've seen numerous codes that provided 30% off... she ended up giving me a code that was good for 20% off. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
I am currently in the process of having mine repaired through them. I set up a claim online, they sent me a box, it is going to a repair facility in Pennsylvania, they never asked me to send it t o ASUS. They should recieve it today, then they will assess the condition of the unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garylet:
Just had a DroidX repaired by Square Trade. They gave me a pre-paid shipping label (two days) repaired the unit, and had it back in my hands exactly one week later. (I shipped on a Monday, received it back on a Monday.)

I am very impressed...and glad I have a SquareTrade warranty on my Prime.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
That is fantastic to hear, having just dropped a few bucks on a Square Trade warranty!

Thanks for the info!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
FWIW, I've had SquareTrade repair my step-kid's S-OFF'd & rooted Aria multiple times and they have never given me grief because it was unlocked. Although they did return it once after fixing a broken screen with a screenshot showing the Superuser app installed and circled in red. Not sure what they were trying to say there, but it was repaired nonetheless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
Haha that's great. That's what I wanted to hear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I bought a sqauretrade warranty a few weeks ago, I insured my tfp for $700 for the tablet and the dock, but since I didn't buy a bundle they only insure the tablet for $535, they offered me a 30 dollar keyboard dock warranty but I doubt my dock will break before my tablet so I will cut my loses when I upgrade.

Anyone want to give me some insurance fraud tips for when I plan to upgrade so they don't replace it with another TFP? I was thinking about throwing it in the pool and making sure it hit the deck first so they can't fix it lol.

That's very good news...thanks for asking about unlocking:D

I'm buying a policy tomorrow, because I dropped my Prime TWICE in 5 days! I've never done that to any electronics I've ever had, and most likely once I get a policy I will never drop it again:rolleyes:

But it was docked and closed and in a neoprene carrying case, and by some miracle, nothing happened.

Thanks again for the info

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sag7392:
Okay everyone, I feel like this a time for those of us that have to decide to renew our contract with Sprint...to make a real informed decision. I'm going to try and keep this short.

Read this first- here

I've been with every carrier EXCEPT Verizon and twice with Sprint. I always knew that Sprint's data network wasn't that great, but I found it usable (barely and often times frustrating). With my contract date ending on 5/3, I started looking at other carriers. I have friends on Verizon, TMo, and ATT. In a very non-scientific way, I decided to test the 3G & 4G speeds on those networks...later comparing them to Sprint. I always found my Sprint speeds to be the slowest...on both. Let me mention that I live in Kansas City...which is in Sprint's backyard...didn't even matter.

With the direction mobile technology is going...LTE is definitely here to stay. However, the battery powering the device is not improving (except for the Razr Maxx). And we all know that 4G...albeit LTE or WiMax, sucks the life out of the standard mAh battery in the device. Which is why, I use 3G most of the time...again, which is not that good on Sprint's network.

Even with the sexy Evo 4G LTE dropping soon, I am starting to reconsider my tenure with Sprint. Even with a good LTE network, 3G still plays a role...at least for me. Paired with my tests and the above article, it proves that Sprint needs to get their sh*t together. A great device means nothing on a sub par network.

I guess I'm angry right now and I don't plan to sit on the curb either. I really want to give Sprint a chance...have been for nearly 2 years. But, I don't want to be optimistic, only to be let down 2 more years later. So my question to my comrades is simple. Are you all going to stay with Sprint or look elsewhere?

Don't worry, I'm a big boy and I can take straight up responses. Sorry for the dissertation.

Regards,

sag

***Mods, feel free to move this to general discussion. I think it may belong there.***
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You go to another carrier and get less data for more money, better speeds less quality. Sprints LTE roll out is bringing network vision with it which is enhanced 1x and 3g networks as well as LTE everywhere there is now 3g coverage within 2 years. I'll be sticking with sprint as I have been with every carrier and sprint has the best customer service and actually works with their customers. Vzw doesn't give a rats ass how badly they screw you and will even directly lie to your face to get you to change your plan, device, contract etc. ATT lte is spotty at best TMO is just a joke in alot of areas, and sprints network vision will far surpass all the other carriers by the end of 2014.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brilliancy:
I'm sticking with Sprint. The price plans for Verizon are so much more expensive than what I'm currently paying, and I'm not sure the benefits warrant the cost. Also, I'm optimistic that Sprint is at least trying to get better. Their venture into WiMAX set them back, but they've been moving to correct that. Lastly, I'll be spending the next four years in college where I'll have WiFi available nearly constantly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sag7392:
See there are so many things I am weighing right now...in no particular order

Devices offered...to include future device offerings

Data Speeds

Customer service

Coverage

Rate Plans

Tethering (the XDA way ;-))

Time to upgrade

I have been following the development of Sprint's network and it really DOES look promising. However, I do not want to wait for nothing. I'm trying not to let impulse or frustration get the best of me right now...really difficult. I love my Evo and I am hoping the love will continue with the Evo LTE. I just want to love the network as well.

Thanks for responding and I hope this continues to create dialog.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
By the time network vision is fully deployed sprint is targeted to have the best network in the country. HD voice, consistent 1.8-3mb 3g speeds and LTE with coverage everywhere they currently have 3g with the same signal quality and building penetration as the current 3g network means they will have LTE in a bigger market than any other carrier while having the same or better 3g as well and far superior voice quality, with the customer service they currently have sprint will be poised to be the top dog once again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
here are a few things floating in my mind on why to switching carriers ( other than having NO COVERAGE aka im runnin in airplane mode just to save battery cuz there is no point on leaving radio on unless i like looking at the x over my signal bars lol)

-boy do i miss sim cards it was WAYYY easier to switch phones imo (yea yea you can even switch sprint phones by talking to them online but still swap a sim and wait sounds like fun)

-i mean the faster speeds would be nice and the limits on amount of data might be hassle but... i really dont find myself downloading roms over the 3g/4g radio (well ok maybe 4g but i dont have that in my particular area either but i get that could be nice) and tethering could be an issue (and i mean by other means not the manufacturers app) since there are caps butttt yeah there is wifi so many places and at the rates the size of phones are coming who needs to tether a lappy lol:p

-i guess im so over customer service where unless it is really really really really really need im just gonna try to fix it myself just cuz.

andddd to be honest i know this sounds like a stupid thing or maybe just dumb but att has this 50 unlimited plan for the go phone (annnd a sim only costs like 4 bucks or something like that which means no need to hack away with cdma workshop to get my phone on boost or something). downside is yesss you have to buy a phone off plan and yes you still will get throttled (right ? wasnt that what they are doin to unlimited plans?) but id rather shell out for a phone i want that im not stuck with due to contract annnd have my 50 dollar plan throttled than a $100+ plan throttled lol anyways those are some of my thoughts just thought i'd share
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] minutia:
I was simply blown away by the audio quality of the recorded voice using Hi-Q Mp3 Recorder on my N7000. Dragon Naturally Speaking (v11.5 on the pc) did not make a single mistake during my one minute test. It should be noted that I initially trained DNS for roughly 4-5 hours when I started using it a few months ago.

Simply incredible and incredibly simple:

- dictate into the GNote from a distance of roughly 10 inches using Hi-Q Mp3 rec.

- share recording via Dropbox

- open DNS on pc and point it to the recording file for (almost) instant transcription.

I wonder if noise cancellation works with this recording program.

That sounds really interesting. Unfortunately I do not succeed in transcribing a mp3-sound file recorded via hi q mp 3.

Can you help?

I'm having a few problems with my Tmo GSII w/ BeastMOD v4.2

1) Running fix permissions in Rom Manager no longer works, and stalls on various programs indefinitely (it worked fine previously). Running in CWM Recovery has always been broken for me, but I found some directions on using recovery w/ ADB to run the script manually to fix permissions. This brings me to #2

2) I can no longer get my computer(s) to recognize my phone. I tried samsung klies as well as the plain USB drivers for the phone and neither one will get it to show up. I've tried two cables & two computers, both of which were working previously. It will charge when plugged into USB but I can't get Kies, Odin or ADB to recognize that it's there. I *occasionally* get a popup that hte USB device was not recognized

3) battery stuck at 100% until I reboot. Been like that since the day I got it. I've tried various fixes on the forums and nothing works.

So I'm going to try just exchanging my phone w/ tmo. Do I need to unroot it first? Can I do that without USB working properly?

Is the best way to transfer old phone to new phone with titanium -Backup all apps & system data onto an SD card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Put a different rom on your SD card and flash it. Also use TDJ's super wipe. I've had that happen before, but a clean install of another rom fixed it.

And yes, you will be charged $500+ if you send your phone in rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FreakinAye:
Ok gonna go with the full wipe. According to Tmo the battery problem was a bug with the earlier baseband that BeastMod 4.2 was based on. I found out Melvin released BeastMod 5.0 based on the new baseband, so I'm gonna try that.

Please confirm that this ist he correct steps to be as complete as humanly possible with the wipes

TitaniumBackup to externalSD

Put ROM & SuperWipe zips on SD

Boot to recovery

Backup

Factory Reset

Format /data

Format /system

Format /cache

Flash SuperWipe

Flash BeastMod 5.0

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

wipe battery stats

fix permissions

reboot phone & wait

I realize some of those steps are redundant, but anything wrong with that plan?

Is there any value in the battery calibration programs in the market?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
That looks fine, but you can leave out wiping battery stats.
