I had the same problem running Hash's CM7. The only lockscreen that worked was the ring lock. I would recommend purchasing Widget Locker or a similar lockscreen replacement.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
That or just change it. Liberty has several options.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
Right.

If it has the ring option, use it. It worked for me in the past.

Had to start a new thread because I cannot post where I want too yet :(

Just really want to thank Mike1986 & anyone else involved with the

ANDROID REVOLUTION HD 6.6.3 XE ROM, What an exellent job you have all done :D

I'm now rocking a Sensation with Android Revolution Hd 6.6.3 XE with Beats Audio by Mike1986 Android 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 ;) Thanks to SebastianFM#1 for the kernal 3.0.16-v1.30.2 ;) 1.6 GHz dualcore :eek: :D

I was (still am :rolleyes:) a proper noob & it's taken me ages to get where I am now with a blinging Sensation which I've also managed to unlock & get my GiffGaff sim in :D I couldn't have done it without all the info you have all provided & thank you all at XDA for all your hard work. RESPECT :D

Now it's time to start customising my phone... :D
[HTC EVO 3D] georgito:
hi guys, after 1 mont using Evo 3D already having a dust under screen ...bought my Evo from expansys ireland and this is answere Ive got from them when i was asking about warranty reppair:

:Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mial.

Unfortunately this is not a manufacturer’s fault and will not be able to open a return for a repair.

Kind Regards,

Amber

..........just want to know, if different sellers having the same response for dust issue??thaks
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Not sure about your country, but with Sprint in the US, that IS covered under the manufacturer warranty. It's a manufacturing defect, dust should not get under the screen, and Sprint will fix/replace it for free within the first year.
[HTC EVO 3D] sajibcy:
Well long time before i bought a HP iPaq from expansys.it has wifi prob.having warranty, they even didn't response.after that i stop buying from them.they i think wants to sell only but whn the time comes abt warranty they just ignore.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Ive been having problems with this too, so I guess ill bump this thread. I've had my 3vo since December and I've had the screen replaced once because of this. Now one month later I have dust accumulation again. Is this something people deal with or get replaced a lot?

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Where did you get it replaced? If someone did a repair like that, and now you are having problems (dust) because of the repair, then that place should fix it again for free.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
I got it done at a sprint store. The dust is in the exact same spot as before. Seems like it wouldn't matter if I got it fixed, it'll just happen again. I don't think htc sealed it very well...bad design

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Don't think its htc because I've had mine since lauch day and I don't have any dust under the screen.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Maybe not, I'm heading to a sprint store today and let them take a look. It seems like it gets in through the mic hole. Its the same spot and same 'pattern' as before.

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
Did Sprint "fix" it again? I have to find some time to head to Sprint soon, have the same problem... Mine is entering by the Mic too.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
I'm waiting for them to get a screen. They told me they have to do this a lot, seems a lot of 3d owners have this issue. I have to call every couple days but they said they would set one aside for me.

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Update: still waiting

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Well,2 weeks later and they finally got a screen for me. Got it replaced yesterday plus I got to play with the LTE. That's a nice phone.

"We're coming from a pure power source."
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
This was disappointing. After getting the screen replaced the camera didn't work. I go back to get it fixed and now things force close, cam doesn't work, phone isn't put back together well, and I have to wait for a refurbished phone.

"We're coming from a pure power source."

[Kindle Fire General] aaricchavez:
Ok, so i'm ordering a replacement digitizer and I figure this would be a good time to try this out.

As you all know, we Kindle Fire owners have neither expandable storage or bluetooth. Hashcode's new 3.0 kernel has the proper kernel modules/support for USB hosting. Instead of having to plug things in every time I need/want extra storage I figure that i'll try and hook up the stuff inside.

So here's what I figure i'll do when I get all the materials:

I already have a mini bluetooth USB dongle that i've disassembled.

And i'll be getting a mini USB microsd adapter that I can tear apart down to the same type of thing as the bluetooth dongle.

Now, the easy part is finding space to put them, there are a few gaps/spaces that I found for the bluetooth dongle, and placing the microsd adapter should be just as easy.

The hard part is getting the wiring all wired up on the inside, and this is where I need advice/input. Trying to solder the wires to the pins on the charge/USB port would be too hard and risky since they're so close.

I took apart one of my extra mini-b USB cables to use the pins to try and hook them up like that some way, but I don't have everything I need yet, so it's just a thought.

Ideas, advice, thoughts and/or comments?

Also, I will be documenting what i'm doing so that I can post a tutorial if I succeed.

I've also posted this in the Hardware Hacking subsection of the General board to see if they can give me any insight. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25212394
[Kindle Fire General] alan110112:
Many microSD slots have something like a contact that closes only if the microSD is inserted in, activating the reader. You can check this or buy a microSD slot that have this switch built in.
[Kindle Fire General] aaricchavez:
Are you referring on what the poster said in the other thread I made about the reader needing to be plugged in after the sd is inserted?

If so i'm not 100% sure that will be an issue. The sd will already be in when the Kindle starts up. If it is an issue I might use a small switch of some sort, but i'm hoping for a more elegant solution if the problem arises.

[Kindle Fire General] aaricchavez:
That's the issue i'm trying to solve. The charge port fits snuggly in a little slot. To solve that i'll probably have to grind that part back some to make a little space for the wires. I will probably use the pins from a USB cable and put some solder on the tip of each one to get them to stay. Then i'll connect some thin wires to the pins, and to the adapter.

I ordered them, but I don't have any more spare USB cables or the sd adapter yet, so I can't do a ton as of this moment.

I'm about to do a little experimenting, if I find a solution i'll take a pic to post.
[Kindle Fire General] sang107:
Which why I'm thinking giving my kindle to my wife and buy a full pack tablet., although might be interesting to see if it work, or just buy those cheap made table with lower specs and which those micro SD card slot etc,... old smart phone would be a nice to get all your parts needed...anyway good luck to your project..:D:rolleyes:
[Kindle Fire General] Muddog7998:
Hey, I'm tring to do this to my Galaxy Nexus as well, minus the bluetooth dongle. If you were able to solder the wires to the usb port, do you think you would be able to get the kindle to see the micro sd?
[Kindle Fire General] brizey:
Are you not concerned that this will affect charging?
[Kindle Fire General] Muddog7998:
Charging wouldn't bother me too much as I can easily pick up another battery with an external charger. Now for the kindle, that might be a different story...
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
from my experience if you tap onto those pins and short 4&5 together, it would indeed mount on reboot!

but have you thought that if the usb port is in permanent otg mode how will you charge/use adb/and mount usb to pc?

for that i think you will need a switch to separate the otg short.

also at the minute i don't know if there would be enough power to be able to operate the flash drive tapping onto the out pins is the same as plugging in a otg cable/adaptor and as of yet most (if not all) flashdrives need additional power source.

that being said someone mentioned that linux double the safety limit for the max power draw, so i think that maybe some dev-god (hash) would need to alter something in the kernel to lower the safety threshold.

as you pointed out in previous post where to put all those wires:-)

and switch?

not sure but the bluetooth could work but probably with the same issues as above .

hope this helps (i'm not trying to burst your bubble as i like a little hardware Modding myself) but i think you should put your efforts & skills into a slim useable adaptor or something, which pack's all those goodies but 1.can be removable and 2. if you f$+k up your soldering as i have lots on my otg adaptors then its not good bye mr kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire General] aaricchavez:
I must have missed the email notification of replies :/

Yeah, as long as USB host is working.

I've tested it and so far it does not affect charging.

Read above.

I've got the wires soldered onto the pins no problem, I just can't get USB host to work at all, I haven't tested since build #6(I think)(I used some modules someone posted that they compiled) of Hashcode's kernel though. I know I didn't mess up soldering cause USB still works as well as charging, and I get a reading on a multimeter when I test the + & - leads.

I've thought of a solution for turning off USB host easily, all it requires is a magnet and a reed switch/s. Read below.

Also, my main goal is to get storage working, after that I might try bluetooth and/or gps over UART(read below)I've ordered about 10 different microsd adapters, some of which claim to need no power(confused me at first lol, I think they meant no external power), anyways, my point is microsd cards require very little power to run, so I think they'll work. If power is an issue I can just take a couple of resistors and such and power the adapter straight from the battery.

Hi there, did a search but couldn't find anything.

Is there a reason why the image which appears on the top of each persons people contact is so low resolution? I have replaced some of the images of people on there with high resolution pictures but it just low res's them again!

Very annoying on a phone with such a nice screen.
[HTC One X] brainrust:
Been wondering the same thing. There is no reason to make them low res, so it must be a bug of some sorts.

Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X met Tapatalk
[HTC One X] StomUK:
Not sure what the exact solution to this is and I find it annoying too. I do however use haxsync and merge my phone contacts with their facebook profiles and that keeps them in a decent quality (well, as good as thier facebook profile picture at least). Not a ideal solution but it kinda works..

(Haxsynx also does other stuff, such as showing facebook status updates and history on contacts info but that part doesnt appear to work with the Sense people app, I was standard ICS contacts.. :/ )
[HTC One X] GioDoe:
The standard people app does it as well, if the phone contact is linked to the facebook one. I know for sure because I have spent an hour unlinking them one by one, as I hate FB messing with my phone contacts.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
If you're on about pictures you sync yourself then they go to the Google server where they become nice los res pictures as Google has screwed it up. Syncing to Facebook is a bit better but not perfect...Google+ seems to be the best resolution for contact pictures IMO
[HTC One X] robosky55:
Remove the picture and re-attach it. I dont know why it happens but after a few tries, it will attach your picture with the proper resolution
[HTC One X] Fruktsallad:
This was an issue for me as well, but Haxsync on Google Play fixes it beautifully. It can force/sync high quality photos from Facebook.
[HTC One X] ac3dts71:
You can try to create a new contact with the photo on "phone" (only photo in it), remove the photo from the "google" contact (if you already have one in it) and leave only the particulars like name and phone numbers, then link the "phone" contact to the "google" contact.

This means google will only sync the particulars from your "google" contact and leave the "phone" contact intact, so you will always have an uncompressed photo.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
If you do this you have to turn off contacts sync or it will just go low res again.
[HTC One X] sebtomas:
I manually re-attached hi res pictures and disabled Google contacts sync from Accounts & sync > Google > Sync contacts but they still look terrible when I open the contact details or I receive a call. Any ideas why the hi res pictures are not displayed? I also tried to take a picture directly whit the camera and use it as contact picture but still low res. I had the same issue with my Incredible S but manually re-attach hi res pictures worked in that case.
[HTC One X] DanteGR:
Do u also have to enable standard facebook account for haxsync to work?

Because it gets automatically enabled when u first log in to haxsync.

Thank you :)

On 22.4.2012 many people bricked their S2 while performing full wipe having Siyah kernel 3.1RC6.

What disappointed me is the update on development coming from developer in real hurry these days.

Developer need to test their development 1000 times before releasing it to users.

As a rule only we the user are responsible flashed kernel knowing the risk of RCs and BETAs.

We can't blame developer for this disaster.........

This thread is for those who bricked S2 and now are in process to recover their devices.

As a general habit, posts on bricked devices can be avoided easily by fan boys.

So now we need to help each other in the process of device recovery.

Please discuss here, what you are doing, any fix whether you found or not.

Thanks

Thanks for the info buddy. I'm in RC6 only. I was planning to do a full wipe and try out a ROM, and luckily I saw your post. Do let us know if you find a fix (for bricked phones). So can I just flash Siyah v3.1 and this problem will go away?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
of course you can flash 3.1, it solves the issue. only the last updated rc6 had the problem. IF you are on rc6 better flash the updated kernel before doing any factory reset/data wipe to be in the safer side.

So did any one had a chance to solve it without going to service center??

I'm one of the "lucky" owners of a bricked-by-Siyah phone :(

I tried to flash a stock rom with odin but it doesn't work. I tried with:

- KI3, which is a 3-file-fw + .pit. The flash process hangs on data.img

- ILA2, which is a 1-file-fw. The flash with Odin is successful, but the phone can't boot and stays on the "Samsung Galaxy S2" screen all the time.

The only way to access recovery I found is to flash rogue recovery, but it can't mount internal sdcard so I can't flash anything
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
if you can access download mode, then you have many ways to recover your s2 without reaching SC

Yes I can access it, but the internal sdcard is never mounted so I can't use my phone... I hope somebody will find and share a fix for this problem :-(
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Unless the hardware is damaged, every full-bricked Galaxy S2 can be recovered witha J-tag repair.

If one does not have the hardware hardware to perform such a repair, he has to either purchase it or find somebody that has it nearby.

Did anyone try flashing a boot loader? Nothing to lose now really

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
So far it looks bad - anyone who is hosed has a device that is likely not JTAGable according to mobiletechvideos.

This is not isolated to SiyahKernel. The following kernels are all affected based on reports I've seen:

Epic 4G Touch ICS leak kernels

International Galaxy Note ICS leak kernels

SGH-I777 (AT&T GSII) UCLD3 leak kernel

Korean SHW-M250* official releases

Based on the experiences in the I777 forums, the chance of bricking with a bad kernel is on the order of 5-10% or less - enough for a dev to easily miss but high enough to brick a lot of people.
[Galaxy S II General] kjplasma:
yeah i did it for 5 grands thats like 100$ approx,its cheap
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

There are many differnet variants of rc6 in circulation. The dangerous one was built on 21st April.

Yes. Only 3.1rc6 with reported build date 21st April is affected. You will also have camera force closes on this kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] sauron96t6:

[Galaxy S II General] bartoloandre98:
Hmm I flashed siyah rc 6 to a teacher/lecturer i knew (first time he entered the rooting world,nvm his device got bricked lol,nice luck huh ?lol)anyways he took it to a centre and asked about j tag and stuff and they told him ,what is a j tag?
[Galaxy S II General] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
I'm going to flash a stock rom (because I can get into dl mode) and use the jig to clear the flash counter.. this should give me back the warranty, right?

Then I'll give the phone to the service center and cross my fingers.

If I say that something went wrong while I was updating the phone with Kies, they are obliged to repair it, right?

Even if it is an hardware failure they must replace my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] bartoloandre98:
I think if u tell them ur phone died during a kies update they take it.they know kies is crap
[Galaxy S II General] sauron96t6:
It is not impossible to achieve in the future, a different combination of keys... store the necessary files needed on external SD to rewriting the bootloader booting directly from SD.

So... don't need to buy hardware and open the S2 for soldering wires on the motherboard.

Ok, don't dream... back to reality, my S2 it's a 4 month's age brick! :(
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I think Jtag recovers wiped boot loader, if usb storage also corrupted then replacement of whole primary booting assembly would be last option.
