$380? I assume you mean including taxes and accessories?? The TB was $569.99 retail when launched. I think its 2yr price was either $249.99 or $299.99.

While my TB started off a little shakey, the 2nd firmware update had made it very stable. And other than the occasional slow 3G/4G hand-off, or GPS taking about 10 seconds to lock on my location, its performed well. Switching to the Rezound's 1620 mah battery has also given me the battery life I need (while still retaining the stock form factor).

But I know how frustrating it can be when a phone isn't reliable for you. If you had my Bionic for a week, you'd know how much I empathize with you! (Got it 9/27/11 and still has data connection issues, and firmware updates haven't fixed). Unfortunately, its taking longer for Moto to update/fix this once "flag ship" device than it took HTC to update the TB. I guess I'm trying to say, that all phone makers have their "problems."

As for the S3 being released on all carriers, thus developer support... I want to caution you, and suggest you possibly alter your expectations slightly... My Experience supporting mobile devices for a global company has shown me that while Samsung has a Galaxy S2 on all carriers, there are many different model numbers, each using different firmwares, etc. Same with the Galaxy Tabs. So just because Samsung is releasing an "S3" on many/all the major carriers around the world, does not mean you can count on full developer support, or similar timing of ROMs and other items, for the particular S3 model you get.

I'm relatively happy with my T-Mo Galaxy S2 that I use for work (excluding coverage issues, which is more a T-Mo thing). Now that my S2 officially got ICS, I assume the S3 will look/feel (from a UI and OS perspective) very similar, with just a few more bells and whistles. I use Go Launcher to cover up the "cartoony" look of TouchWiz on my S2, since work wont let me use a rooted phone (so no option for custom rom). So I expect many who try the S3 will like it, even if they keep it stock.

Ok so here it is, I've been going through countless forums looking around at problems others are having and the general information i've found is nobody has the LGL85C $330 straight talk phone, well i've gone and done it and bricked it

CWMR Touch Installed

I've tried CM7

Went on to Marky Beatz v1.2 and get stuck in constant boot loops.

Tried flashing original roms that were the marquee version (Sprint)

There is no option to press Vol+ and Power to get software restore, and when i go to update through LGB2C it says my phones software isn't supported now this said that before i had even gone and touched anything.

It is rooted and has the super user in there somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Android 2.3.4

LGL85CV1

Was able to get it back up and running by installing a Sprint Optimus Q? firmware now i'm stuck with all of this sprint stuff and i have 4 buttons i can hit the Q only has 3 anybody have any ideas on how to get most of my functionality by modifying this rom?

I am needing someone to downgrade my evo3d. I'm in Memphis & if you have done this & can assure me everything will go smooth I'm willing to let you do it & maybe even pay. Yes, it's lazy, but I have no PC & with work killing me I just can't find the energy to do it. If you're out there, let me know if you've done this & can perform this downgrade for me!
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Umm if you don't have a pc then how will you have someone do this for you ?? Unless your going to send him the phone. Just wondering.

If you're in Memphis I can come to you or you come to me. I'm tired of S-On bro, I need fully root capabilities & partition freedom. Is anyone out there? :'(
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Ohhh my bad Lol didn't think of that one Lol. Well man unfortunately I'm no were near you. Or I would help you out man. Hopefully you can find someone. Or you can temporarily use a friends,family member, etc computer to do the downgrade method.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
unknownforce....if i have ubuntu and windows 8 dual boot can i do it
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
Yes you can do it on ubuntu or with the live cd made by closeone...
[HTC EVO 3D] piscesjoey:
Damn dude if you would've sent it to unknownforce (who is the creator of the downgrade method btw) you would've had your phone back by now with true S-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] KaoMinerva:
I can't afford to send my phone off. Not because of cash buy because of the necessity of me having my phone. Last time I left it, Captain called & he was pisses & made me do extra pt!
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
Borrow a friends computer to do it or go to your local library with a flash drive and install Ubuntu on the flash drive and do it. If there is a will there is a way.

I would have thought the military would have taught you that already!

You can always come to Nashville and I will do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wearespacepeople:
Ever since I flashed from gingerbread to ICS my wifi has been ranged from just barely working to not working at all. 3G works for the most part but when I'm home I'd much rather be on wifi. Anyone else experience this? Is it possible there is something wrong with my phones wifi? And do you think going back to 2.3 might fix my problem? Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkdudxp:
Could be the rom you're on. I would suggest flashing another ICS rom. Try Slim or Euphoria.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatttire:
Is this normal? I want to know if this is a good reason to send the phone back for repairs.

The phone has a warm, pretty reasonable yellowish tint to it when viewed straight on. This looks like it was designed this way. When switched to a 30 or 45 degree angle, which really isn't that bad, it gets a pretty hefty blue tint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taustin52:
I just got mine today and I noticed this also, I also noticed the whites aren't really white, they are kind of dark or off white, is any of it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_other_ray:
It's normal. Mine and two other people I know also have this issue. I'm not aware of any fix so I think that's just the way it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlindWolf8:
I also wanted to confirm this. I have a Nexus S and my new Galaxy Nexus side by side and the NS whites are blinding compared to the subdued whites of the GN.

I am concerned as I only have to tilt my GN about 5 degrees or so in order to start to see blue on the sides depending on which direction I tilt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
This is a common known issue. There is a thread about the "normal and what's not" regarding the display of the phone. Some are more relatively tinted than others, some are less. Depends on whether if it really bothers you or not that it should be replaced. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlindWolf8:
Yeah I saw the thread but in his photos the phone doesn't look tinted at all. I may call Google tomorrow to confirm if it's within their bounds of acceptable build quality/normalcy. Thanks! It's really refreshing to see helpful people in the forums. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatttire:
Thanks guys for your replies. I'm not that bothered by it so I'll probably just live with it. I otherwise love this phone. Good to know I'm not the only one with it.
[HTC One X] bongd:
Hey guys, perhaps a dev could answer this pretty quickly.

Does this device have proprietary drivers? Is the source code released? I want to use CM9 when it comes out but I wonder if the camera will be crippled as a result of this. Not a biggy, but just curious.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
The stock camera app is probably proprietary. Apps can still use the sensor though. Stock camera has way too much compression to be worth it. I take photos with Camera360 instead.

Let me save you some trouble.

From the FAQ:

Do you plan on adding Froyo/ICS support?

Yes. But I have not ported PDroid to Froyo or ICS yet. No ETAs yet. You'll need some patience there.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ageu:
Hi everyone, on this past week I've been trying to get me XP back to life... but with no success.

For starters I woke up one day to find that my phone has powered off by itself (no root nor unlocked bootloader), tried to power it on but no response, had to remove e reinsert the battery for it to boot up. Some days later same thing but when i turned it on it started a bootloop, repaired with SEUS.

This week it made the same thing and i had to repair it with Wotanserver, but when i let it alone it would reboot... everytime it entered the sleep mode it would crash and reboot. Tried flashing some roms on the forum with no luck... now wotan sees my phone as a R800i when it really is a R800a and SEUS keep saying that me phone have the latest update.

Yesterday it stopped bootlooping... it don't even show the "Sony Ericcson" phrase.

I'm new to android phones got this phone in oct/2011, didn't installed CWM.

So if someone could try to help me i would really apreciate.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Potato13:
Ok so, download flashtool and flash the latest r800i firmware or the any r800a firmware. As long as you can enter flash mode, your phone is fine. The reason the roms didn't work is your locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Selim873:
Nevermind, Potato13 beat me to it before I finished typing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ageu:
Thanks for the replies. :)

Yes I tried flashtool with several rom's either R800i and R800a from .42 to .62, from US to HK. Neither made my phone show any signs of beeing better.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezadsyafiq99:
try to unlock your bootloader.. then flash r800a fw..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashake:
So to get this right - You already flashed different stock firmwares to it and that stuff still happened?

Should actually not happen... to me that would indicate that there is some kind of hardware problem since you never rooted the phone nor unlocked the bootloader to really mess things up.

I would send it in
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ageu:
Isn't unlocking bootloader only for custom rom's? Well thats what i think it is.

Yes I was thinking on doing so but i already flashed other Fw's on this phone isnt my warrant already void? I'm saying this because I dont think I would have the money to pay the repair service.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashake:
As far as I am concerned, only rooting and unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty. You have done neither so you should be fine :).

I asked Sony Customer support once how to handle my not booting phone and they adviced me to flash stock firmware - So I would figure they can't deny you services because of doing so.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ageu:
Ohh I see thanks for the answer, really appreciate.

---------------------------Update(05/14/2012)--------------------------

Sent the phone to SE as sashake recommended, and turn out that the problem was with the hardware itself.

SE gave me a new unit as it was still covered by warranty.
[Epic 4G General] garyf:
I don't see anything in the pipeline that I'd change phones for. Do you?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
GNote, GNex, or GS3. Whichever has the best development and specs when my upgrade comes 1st of July. I've had this phone since 9/25/10 and I love it and will never get rid of it but I will be upgrading.
[Epic 4G General] kainppc6700:
Same here. I used the Diamond from March 2009 to October 2011, when it became too damaged to repair. Before the Epic, I was a real skeptic of hardware keyboards, but I'm a changed person now. That amazing keyboard cannot be topped by any touchscreen (even swype) in speed. I've tried several other devices with hardware keyboards hands on, but the Epic still has got to be one of the best I've ever used. I mean, Android can be navigated rather quickly with the keyboard and it's great for emulators too.

Since I'm just a student, I can't really afford brand new expensive phones or plans, so I usually buy the previous generation device used for $50, which is what I did in the case of both the Diamond and the Epic. Right now, I'm using it on the Sprint SERO $30 a month plan with unlimited data, messaging, and roaming, and I can't think of a better cellular combination. Kudos to Sprint for always getting the good version (or only version, such as the case of the Kyocera Echo) of most phones.

The Epic definetly has a lot of life left in it.

[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Ill probably wait for a slider phone with LTE. Might even hold out specificlly for samsung. The software support sucks, but they always seem to be a little easier to root and theme. The only crap they really pulled was the sneaky little file that re rewrites you boot partition with every boot to remove root. I'm even willing to bet that was sprints idea as the first thing every root user usually does is set up for free tethering.

[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
It's not so much the Epic I'm leaving behind as it is Sprint. There have been trials with the Epic- horrible GPS, slow software updates, and a modem that likes to randomly reset. However Sprints data speeds are regularly into the 10's of kbps now. Tragic. Might as well have a dumb phone if I stay with them.
[Epic 4G General] epicnoob66:
I will most likely have the epic till my contract is up in march 2013...
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I can get a new phone in 8/2012. The problem is that I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a powerful keyboard phone (like the Epic was), and I don't see hints of one on the horizon. :(

LTE is tentatively supposed to be in the Tampa area in the summer of this year, so the timing would be perfect, but I fear that I may be SOL.
[Epic 4G General] redvexx:
Unless it breaks on me I will most likely still be using it. The only other phone I might be interested in is the Sony Ericsson phone.
[Epic 4G General] engenuine:
well

With the ROMs and kernels as advanced as it is nowadays coming out at a rate like this, if this keeps up I'm definitely keeping this phone for sure. Gotta see what Sammy does in a year though with the new Exynos chip and all...
[Epic 4G General] Purponic:
There is no reason for me to switch phones right now. I have plenty of memory and I can run almost all games and apps effortlessly
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
I had my og Instinct about 2 years and 2 months before I got the og epic

The upgrade was painful because I actually liked the phone.

But my upgrade from the og epic to the epic touch was mostly painless. It wasn't because I didn't like the epic (I really did very much) it was because the software between the gs1 and gs2 were very similar and that I almost never used the hard keyboard.

Since I like touchwiz the upgrade to the gs3 should be just as painless
[Epic 4G General] kainppc6700:
Nope. I fixed the Diamond to activate/clone it and I pay a reasonable $30 a month. The service isn't worth too much more than that to me.

Hey there,

I would like to use reverse tethering over my usb cable.

Before I start I'll let you know my setup:

Windows 7 x64 machine, sdk (inc. adb) installed but adb seems to make problems

i9000 running infinitum 2.1 with devil2 v0.72

These are the steps I used:

-connect the phone

-activate usb-tethering on the phone

-PC: change the ip on the new network adapter to 192.168.2.1

-PC: set my local area connection to share my internet connection with the new network adapter

-PC: add http service to the shared internet services

-open terminal on the phone

-executing the following commands:

ifconfig rndis0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev rndis0
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
setprop net.dns1 78.42.43.62
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""

Funny part is: I can't ping a domain like google.de also no app is able to access the internet... BUT I can ping 173.194.35.151 (google.de ip afaik?!).

So I DO have a connection... somehow (tested with WiFi off and mobile data off) but no app has access and it can't resolve any domain names?!

78.42.43.62 is the correct ip for my dns provider!

Here are two screenshots proving what I'm talking about: Screen1 Screen2

So what can I do? Can some1 help me out here?

EDIT: I just wanted to point out that normal tethering IS WORKING, I do have a stable connection to my phone (even when transfering data), drivers are working!

Hi,

No similar question for our beloved Desire-Z/G2: is there a ROM with EAP-SIM support? Or any other solution to get it working?

I badly need that since my carier provides the support.

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
From what I can tell, that is between your sim and your network. "ROM support" does not factor in to the equation -- not required.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterismos:
this is a question and you are in development place.

SO WRONG PLACE TO POST YOUR QUESTION
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkwisdom:
Hello, I'm not really agree with you, with our career, the EAP-Sim is actived but there no option to connect our phone to a wifi network using this authentification. There is a patch, available here "code.google(dot)com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/EapSimAka" and in the description, they said that it should be include in the source of the Rom. So, for me, ROM support factor in to the equation.

Sorry for my bad english :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
I looked over the wiki and it's a pretty simple patch to apply; just pick the ROM that you want, download the sources, apply the patch and build the ROM
