[HTC Rezound] grant01:
I recently purchased and immediately rooted my new HTC Rezound. With much issue, I finally achieved what I wanted, CM9. Sadly though, I cannot seem to get the radio to work in any form. It seems I need to update my radio from everything I have searched, and I know how to do that, but I have no idea what radio I need to download, nor where to find it. For temp reasons, I am running a rooted, desensed ICS

So my question for you is, where do I get the new radio from? Do I have to download a stock Rom again, relock and force an OTA update?

Phone info

HTC Rezound

Android Version: 4.0.3

Kernal Version: 3.013-gaf15497-dirty

Phone build date: 1/28/12

H-boot 2.11
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
cm9 isn't even stable yet alone has working ril. I'd switch to another rom before you smash into dead end real fast
[HTC Rezound] grant01:
Well, that would explain it... I just went back through and read the full post again and I somehow missed the fact that it says

Does not work: Phone, Data... yeah.. Im a moron.

Soooo..... Any tips on good fast simple ROMs since the one I wanted is currently DOA
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Cleanrom DE (link in sig) its great. And it's the closest to aosp that we have here. It's 100% stable as well
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I am pretty sure that nothing in the entire universe is 100% stable
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this. When I got the phone I rushed to root and install CM and missed the bug list. I still can't wait for it, but cleanrom de is OK for now.
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
Camera works up to 8mp now?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Absolutely

Grant, you popped my thanks cherry. I feel so violated... In a good way.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
My cousin is on my plan and I'm taking her off. She owes Sprint from her past account. Thing is, these goobers won't tell her how much the deposit will be if she starts her account again.

Does anyone know an estimate on what the deposit will be? I think she owes around $300 on the old account.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
Well, it depends. They will want full payment on any past due amount, then the deposit amount will depend upon her credit. It could be as low as $200 and I've heard of them asking for $500. That was as of a couple years ago, so it might have changed since then.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
Also, I should mention that they may outright refuse service in some cases.

The only way to know for sure is to call.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
$500?

She did call them though. They wouldn't tell her how much the deposit would be after she paid the bill. Something about it's a policy, that way if people consider the deposit to be too much they don't just skip out on paying the bill. Stupid Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] csmasn:
I heard $600 for starters in others carriers.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
wait, that's stupid? sounds like it makes sense... get the money they're owed first, then worry about a new contract after.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
Pay the past due. Then try and get her own line. If the deposit is to high, try another carrier.

Sent from my CM9 infused Epic.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
It's stupid in this case since that's what's stopping her from paying the bill now. She needs to know how much the deposit is that way she knows if she can stay with Sprint ahead of time or just activate with a new carrier. She'll need to deposit money and new phone money. The former needs clarification because it may cut into the new phone money.
[Epic 4G General] .OmEgA:
I'm sure if someone owed you money, you would want that money first before you do any other business with them. I'll give you some great advice to pass along. Tell her to pay off her **** if she wants sprint. No other way. If not, tell her to go to another carrier. What ever happened to common knowledge?

[Epic 4G General] TONYSALEM78:
My woman had a past due bill, but they sent it to collections and like 2 years later she went to Sprint and they didn't want any deposit. I never had Sprint and they wanted $175.00 deposit. I guess it all varies. Hope this helps. :D
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
Um, you're not understanding. She's paying off the bill this week, regardless. She would like to know the deposit amount before hand so she can gauge what phone she can get. She doesn't want to be hit with a $500 deposit and be stuck without a phone. I'll tell her to look for another carrier.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
A useful post! I wonder if it has to do with credit? If so, my cousin's screwed. :lol:
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
It depends on her credit and what's on it. They don't just go off score either. They will let a 560 through fine as long as there is no Charge Offs. Even a 700 could snag a deposit. Because she has a bad account, expect a least $200. If she has charge offs, Up to $500. The other carriers are no better and even worst. ATT will want a $500 non refundable deposit.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
And that's exactly why their policy is designed to not tell people that information.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
I guess you didn't read the post where I said she's paying the bill regardless on Friday. So yes, in this case, the policy is stupid.

But let's say I was a customer and was *thinking* about paying my past due bill. I call to find out my deposit for a new account. My deposit will be nothing, but the Sprint rep doesn't tell me this. Instead of paying the bill, I decide to do as I've been doing and not pay since I don't know if my deposit will be $1 or $999,999,999. Sprint missed out on money they would have got, so either way, the policy didn't achieve their desired results.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
AT&T, non-refundable?

I'm not too sure of her charge offs, but I'll tell her to put $200 aside just in case.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
That scenario is flawed in the fact of you won't have a $0.00 security deposit if you currently owe a past due , if said past due has gone to collections. That goes on your credit and that's the big thing companies look for when running credit for cell phone approval.

Now if the past due is just past due. Then its possible not likely but possible.

Now either you/she is trying to find a loophole to jump through their policy. Weather that policy is dumb or not, its there for a reason.

Sent from my CM9 infused Epic.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
I guess you haven't read the thread. TONYSALEM clearly said his girl had an account that went to collections, she paid it, started a new account and didn't have to make a deposit. So how do you know that she won't have a "$0.00" security deposit? Your post is flawed.

And I'm trying to find a loophole because I'm curious as to what the deposit might be? Considering I'm already on Sprint and don't plan on leaving anytime soon, that statement's even more stupid than said policy.
[LG Nitro HD] smashcz:
I flashed CM9, and lot of things are messed up, so I'm trying to flash to any other rom, but its stuck on LG logo.

What should i do?

I can go back to CM9, but not to any rom 2.3.5 ...
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
That's because you need to revert your boot image. Just restore a Nandroid backup (you did take one, right?) from when you had stock ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] smashcz:
did not :)

where can I get it?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
dude.

knock it off with these stupid ****ing threads. there are MANY threads/posts on this already. research your **** man and don't clutter up the forum. srsly.
[TouchPad General] Dixon Butz:
Noticing some image persistence today after going into settings. I could see the google play icon that has always been in the same spot. I could also see a couple of others. Seems to be going away now that I have a settings open for a few mins.

Guess I need to shorten the screen on time. Currently set at 30min. Had this TP since December.
[TouchPad General] The Jack of Clubs:
the lcd isnt really capable of screen burn in. its only image persistence. mobile displays are bad about this. it isnt helping if you are keeping it on a 30 minute time out though.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
That is a first one for me aswell because my display doesn't turn off unless i click the lock screen button. Post a picture to help see and fix the problem hopefully. usually how to fix it involves just putting a black or white picture on it for a good hour or so....but that's on a very old TV rather than the touchpad so like i said its a first for me
[TouchPad General] chris8599:
how about install "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix" from market to rapidly flash the screen to get rid of the burn in?
[TouchPad General] Dixon Butz:
Here is a few ways to fix it:

1.Turn off the monitor for extended periods of time. It can be as little as several hours or it could be as long as several days.

2.Use a screen saver with a rotating image and run it for extended periods of time. The rotating color palette should help remove the persistent image but it could take a long time.

3.Run the screen with a single solid color or bright white for an extended period of time. This will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single color setting and should erase any previous image persistence

Hello,

I had to put my phone to repair because it died completely. Today I got my phone back, they replaced the battery and main PCB.

Before the repair I used CM7 on the phone without any problems. I also installed CM7 on another 3 Defys of my friends, so I pretty much know what am I doing.

The problem I have is that if I flash CM7 (any version - 7.1, 7.2RC, nightly) or MIUI, the phone stays in an endless restarting loop. Sometimes it even boots up completely and then restarts again.

The strange thing is that if I flash back the original ROM (jrdnem_u3_3.4.2_179-002) the phone works without any problems.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong or what should I try?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brajesh.sharma87:
Try wiping data/cache before and after flashing CM/MIUI.

I know its not necessary and u r following the right process. Sometimes these things just do the trick. :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javlada:
I tried that, unfortunately it didn't help. I don't know what can be wrong with the phone. Maybe the overclocking from 800 MHz to 1 GHz causes the problem.

Do you know if I can disable it somehow? Or is there another 2.3 ROM which I could try?

Hi, I have already partitioned my 8gb SD card. I made 1 FAT32 Partition with 1.3gb of unused space, while i used the left memory to make a EXT4 partition with around 6.5gb.... My question is, why the second partition is invisible in windows, and where should i put my music and stuff...... Also, Link2SD says that it can't mount the script because of an invalid argument... Please help me fix this..... I'm using HenseMod6 by the way
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Around 1-2 GB of Ext partition is enough. Ext* partitions are linux filesystems and cannot be read by windows. Your music and photos should go on the fat partition.

Your rom may not support ext4, try reformatting it to ext3

[HTC One X] Milad._.R:
Hi

Which is better? Tegra3 or Mali 400
[HTC One X] Htc_One_X:
I don't know mate, this is what my phone after the update is capable of now.
[HTC One X] vallandil:
Well it will be a race for sure
[HTC One X] schriss:
Mali might be faster (or maybe not), but Tegra 3 definitely better. Because it has better, enhanced games. Developers develop for Tegra. They don't develop for Mali or Adreno.

One guy complained that Shadowgun looks better on my phone than on his iPad3 - I had to explain that I'm running THD version, that we have those Tegra enhanced games. That makes a difference.

Tegra 3 will run all games. Adreno/Mali will require Chainfire3D with plugins to run Tegra games.

Thats my view on that.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
The Mali 400 is old now, it`s not what the sg3 is getting surely.

John.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Even if SGS3 will get Mali T-604, I will stick with Tegra 3 for now. Unless I see games dedicated for T-604, and more than just one.
[HTC One X] Milad._.R:
more...
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/galaxy-s-iii-leak/

according to this it will have the 400
[HTC One X] schriss:
Didn't notice it mention 400. But if true people would find it disappointing, even that 400 is still serious piece of hardware. Given 720p screen, performance would be worse compared to SGS2.
[HTC One X] NZtechfreak:
The Mali's performance is the same as the Tegra 3's in graphics benchmarks I've done on my Note Vs my Prime and my One X (just goes to show how average the Tegra 3 GPU really is I think, no better than something at least 6 months older). Disappointing it's not the upgraded GPU if that is accurate, but doesn't differentiate the products at all.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Technically, so is Teg3. S4 uses 28nm and the 4212 uses 32nm. Teg3 is two 45nm A9 chips glommed together because Nvidia wanted to be first to market with a next-gen chip. It's the least advanced of any of the three SoCs. From a GPU perspective none of the three really move the ball forward and are just evolutionary vs. revolutionary. If I had to guess best overall performance I’d say 4212, Teg3, and S4 in that order. Because S4 and the 4212 are on smaller dies they’ll be more efficient and handily beat Teg3 at battery life (except maybe at idle).
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
delete post.
[HTC One X] Souai:
tegra3 is actually made on the 40nm. nvidia still has tsmc's 40nm process and is migrating towards 28nm with desktop GPUs and will eventually migrate to 28nm with the tegra3+.
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
i hate how people always say that its a bad thing that apple didn`t upgrade the gpu but fust added more cores or samsung didn`t change the mali 400 gpu. the fact is that the mali and sgx543mp2 were ahead when they were released. now there is actual competition like the adreno 320 and tegra 3/4. a simple overclocked sgx or mali chip is enough to keep up with the competition.
[HTC One X] Sekhen:
Mali 400/450 is a 2nd generation GPU like tegra 2, only 44 millions polygons/sec, My Adreno 205 is 41 millions & The Tegra 3 is 129 millions.

Gameloft games in the end of 2012 will need 100 millions...

The Mali 3rd generation is Mali T-604/640 & Mali say that's it is 500% the performances of previous Mali GPU's :

http://www.arm.com/products/multimedia/mali-graphics-hardware/mali-t604.php

500% is using quad-core optimised applis (only tegra 3 will have it in less than 2 years) but it's 250% in dual-core...

As Tegra 3 is equal to T-604, Mali 400 is pawned...

-1st gen (Adreno 200, mali 200/300, SGX Power VR 520/530 & tegra 1)

-2nd gen (Adreno 205, Mali 400MP/450MP, SGX Power VR 540/554 & tegra 2)

-3rd gen (Adreno 220/225/320, Mali T604/640, SGX Power VR G 6200/6430 & Tegra 3)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
link to your numbers about Tegra 3?
[HTC One X] libiao0928:
I have not used any device with Mali 400. Sorry mate~~
[HTC One X] Slash888:
I think that tegra 3 is better but we have to attend the 3.x kernel to solve the battery problem properly.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Mali-400 is good and strong and Tegra 3 might not be the fastest one there is, but it's the only one that gets best looking games. On top of that, Tegra 3 Plus is coming soon and then next year another one with direct x and supposed console-like performance. See what Nvidia does for desktops and just hope they keep the pace with mobile GPU and we will get there too. I don't really consider non-tegra device unless it amazes me with noticeably better power efficiency or optimized games start coming out for it.

Would you buy non-nvidia and non-ati graphics card for your pc?
[HTC One X] ericpeacock79:
Exactly!

Given the choice, I would buy a Tegra device over anything else.

Hello, I rooted my phone and it bricked so I found a stock rom and now after I did that I tried to go to the app market and every time I try to update packages It says can't install please try again and I get the same error if I download the .apk and try to do it that way, my services were turned off and I can't update versions I don't even know what version i'm running, any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherdog16:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btroidl:
Okay well I tried to use odin to go back to stock but I could never figure it out, This may make me look stupid but 1) how do I flash gapps and if that works how can I revert back to stock android, I just dont want to ruin my android..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherdog16:
Being that i'm not sure of what you have on your phone (and even if you have a fascinate) I would just say odin to stock. There are various guides floating around. Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212239. Just do step 2 but with this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38436349/CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5. That's stock EH03 (gingerbread)

Notes for Odin:

Always use PDA section

Never ever ever ever ever, no matter who tells you, even if Jesus himself tells you, click phone EFS clear on. That will kill your data and you have to call Verizon to fix it or switch your data plan to another smart pone and then back to your fascinate.

Good luck

[Acer Iconia A500] fsured:
I currently have the Asus prime and love the tablet, but it doesn't work for my needs as a multimedia device on the go. With the blue tooth and streaming video/audio issue, my main purpose of it is no longer functional. I could careless about the gps.

I was looking at the Acer 500 tablet. I know it would be a tegra2 compared to the tegera3 and there is the 510 model just released. After the mess that is happening with the prime I'm hesitant to try another brand spanking new model right out of the gates. I don't mind yesterdays technology if it's proven to work and tweaked already. Plus it should be a bit cheaper.

So my question is, how do you owners of the Acer brand of tablets like your devices? Particularly the media abilities of it. I use youtube, stream tv shows, stream cartoons, and internet radio. Being able to use my blue tooth headset is my sore spot and is what I'm looking to rectify with a different tablet.

I do some gaming but not much on the android platform has really taken me yet. If these Acer models play Order and Chaos then it would be a boon.

Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
THere are video limitations with 1080p . mosy 720 will play fine. Streaming for me works well,of course some of the roms are better then others.I will not make comments on any of them. I would say read the forums of those roms.Order and Chaos does actually run very well on my A500. as with most other android games. I can also say my Bluetooth motorola hd 9 headset works flawless.

Good Luck .
[Acer Iconia A500] Nelsinh0:
Its OK

I have an a500, video and audio streamig works fine, same goes for bluetooth, I hate how the browser auto closes when it runs out of memory specially when watching heavy loaded web sites (I mean heavy Flash content).

I am on stock 3.2.1 rom, no root.

I love the big usb port as I can connect almost anything, I have a USB hub and can connect 4 things at the same time (memory, keyboard, mouse and gamepad).

Sound is good, not top best but is ok.

No good 1080p playback as Erica already said.

No GPS issues unless you go for custom roms.

Planned to update to ICS by the end of the month.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I like my A500 but I would never go from a Prime to an A500.

I don't have any issues with my device per say. I run netflix, crunchyroll, etc. on there and I use plex as well as tversity so 1080p videos and anything out of the scope of compatibility for my tablet from my library aren't an issue for me. Like you, I use it for multimedia purposes and I am satisfied.

My unwanted 2c is you just wait for a patch that makes you LOVE your Prime. It took several software revisions before Acer got it right with Honeycomb on the A500 and Tegra3 as well as ICS is brand spanking new so I'd give it a bit more time. I stuck with the A500 because I liked it and I found the USB port useful but as I said, I would not go from a Prime to an A500 for the mere fact that the Prime is technically speaking, a newer device with better/faster hardware and a better screen....even if you THINK you don't care about Tegra3 vs. Tegra2, once Asus gets the software refined, overall it will be better than the A500. If it's a case where you have some disposable dollars and are thinking of getting the A500 in the interim, go ahead; but if you're going to swap/exchange the Prime and then buy an A500 I would heartily advise against it.

Good Luck to you, whatever you decide.
[Acer Iconia A500] Nessuno1:
As for me, here is what I can say about the A500 :

- for the videos, I'm used to ripping my DVDs and blu-rays so I can read them on the tablet. My favorite format is MP4. Nothing special to say about DVDs, but as for the Blu-rays 720p main profile works fine (high profile does not), just as 1080p low profile (both main and high profile won't be readable with a comforable frame rate). It's also a matter of bit rate : for 720p main profile, 3500 Kbps is almost perfect, 4000 Kbps is fine 90% of the time but it can get really laggy for some minutes at times. For 1080p low profile, 5500 Kbps was fine, haven't tested anything else yet because anyway good 1080p compressed movies weighs like 8GB and with FAT32 you're supposed to be limited to 4GB. No noticeable quality differences with the tablet screen anyway, and very little on a large TV screen given the compression, so to me 720p main profile remains the best choice.

- Sound is surprisingly good but mic really (and I mean really) sucks. Barely usable.

- Screen isn't as accurate as on other tablets. It makes no differences at all for a normal use but if you intend to handwrite it is still possible but not perfect.

- Battery life is fine for me, but it lasts less than others. Like 6 to 8 hours in video, the same for a standard use (internet, reading,...).

- The screen is good, but again not as good as the Asus's screens or iPads and Galaxy tabs ones.

- The USB port is a huge feature for me, it works just fine with my NTFS external hard disk, with all my USB keys, with all my USB PC controllers (that are already set the right way !), with my keyboard, my mouse, and my USB hub so I can use my keyboard and mouse at the same time on the tablet !

- With Honeycomb, internet browsing is a little bit too slow and lacks smoothness for me with the default browser (I'm used to great smoothness and speed with my SGS 2), so I chose to use Dolphin Mini, which is fine. Hope the ICS update will fix that though.

In conclusion it's a good device but for 2011, you're likely to be disappointed coming from a Transformer Prime. Better wait for the A510 or the A700 to my mind.
[Acer Iconia A500] fsured:
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to hold on to the prime for another 2 weeks or so and see how the 510 is holding up. It's always the customers that find the little quirks which are not noticed by the manufactures in their testing phases.

Thanks again!
