[Motorola Atrix 2] hellot1M:
Does At&t not have the option of finding your phone through your online account? With T-Mobile there was an option for that and it even told you the last location the phone was before turned off. Also call At&t and ask them if they can monitor the phones usage and if they can automatically log when the phone is connected to their towers. Once this happens they can tell you about where the phone was last logged. Could help a little.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloogy:
Hello,

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100

running android 2.3.5 stock version.

I'm normal user who used the phone for basic function like making phone calls and using the google, facebook apps with some installed apps from the play store.

Today, 2 hours ago logsprovider initiated out of nowhere an endless loop of "force close" alerts, between them most of the running apps were closed too (including some weird z7... app).

Because of the interval (about half a second) between alerts I can goto setting -> apps -> and "clear data" in the logsprovider config.

this stops the "force close" alerts loop untill the next restart of the phone. in this state I basically don't have access to the phone features and all the home screens are empty, including the phone's apps menu.

I can run any app by adding it to the home screen and then executing it, if the app has system operation like the play store that require it to install something, the app will crash and no new programs will install.

I can also connect the phone to a computer and get access to all the files (I think it's just those on storage), I might try to get an apk of an antivirus there and try to install it - hope it doesn't crash

These are desprate times... thats why I'm contacting the experts,

1. Can I fix this, this might have been caused by an app, what to do?

2. If the only solution is factory reset how do I backup the data, apps, or contact lists?

How can I root my HTC Evo View after updating to Honeycomb?
[HTC One S] Lacuna666:
For the few days ive been trying to get the OTA to install correctly.

I have seen other people talking about this, and i have tried all i could find about this problem.I

m not sure if im posting this in the correct place, sorry if nok!

I did find out its because of the used custom recovery that it wont install.

So using the allinone tool i put the stock recovery on, i believe with succes.

And i had also installed the ota rootkeeper app (not sure why)

But the OTA keeps on reporting errors when installing

assert failed apply patch check /system/app/phonesky.odex (long numbers)

E: error in internal sdcard/download/ota-ville u htc europe 1784012-1.53401.2 release-numberrapskwje.zip

status 7

aborted

I tried (in stock recoverymode) installing a zipfile i found somewhere which was the 1.78..update (I think) but that also gave errors, i cant find a ruu for 1.78, so cant try that.

Is there a complete list of things you have to do to get this update? and if so can someone help, thanks.
[HTC One S] ReichMann:
Retry to install Rootkeeper or u can do it later

Use this tool: [TOOL] HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 (find at Android Development). Boot to fastboot mode then reflash the "STOCK RECOVERY"

After that go to Setting-About-Software Update and install it with the choice "install now".u get it.

if u didn't use RootKepper,just re-root again with the same tool.

Have Fun.:D
[HTC One S] Lacuna666:
After that go to Setting-About-Software Update and install it with the choice "install now".u get it.

Thanks, but I dont undersstand your answer.

Are you saying to : do the OTA update just after flashing the stock recovery?

Thats exactly what i did.
[HTC One S] ReichMann:
That was exactly what i did too.

so u can try re-flash the shipp Rom at "[ROM]Ville Shipped ROM Collection" (Thread of Football, at Development).then do it again.

Coz i think the Problem is at ur Stock Recovery.mb there is smth not right there...

i did exactly what i wrote and it worked for me.

Good luck!:D
[HTC One S] Lacuna666:
Ok, i will try :

using the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")

then use the all_in_one tool to put the stock-recovery back again

then try the OTA again

i will let you know later on,..thank you
[HTC One S] Lacuna666:
I ran the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")

After a while it said error 155 image update error, get correct image

I still have no idea how to get the 1.78 update,

Can anyone help please?

=====> Never mind, luckily today football released a 1.78 basis rom which does work for me

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diegonnc:
i think that is something related to dhcp , that it varies depending on the router, i read that if you change some value the wifi wont disconect anymore, but hey you cant just going everywhere configuring someones router :P,i do believe its google`s android fault, it must be a bug or something.Anyway any chance that someone makes a 2.3.4 custom based rom?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diegonnc:
so can anybody take on my request?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexnm:
For my experience I can say: you won't get any satisfactory solution, I've tried, believe me. If you want a stock rom, just flash another ROM without the issue (2.3.4 and lower). This sucks, but it doesn't get any better. Sorry.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diegonnc:
its totally unvelivable, nobody has any solution?? is this a android bug?, well i guess i should give up then, back to 2.3.4 or to cyanogen mod :(

Thanx for your suggestions i could buy a second hand phone which is fairly cheap ... I'm not interested in IPHONES especially Iphone 3gs overhere we can buy An Iphone 4 Below $400 .. I think i can Buy a SGS 2 second hand . I'll give you a list of good phones In this price rangs :

1 Htc desire hd

2 Htc evo 3d

3 Huawei Horizon

4 Nokia Lumia 800

5 Sgs (1st hand)

6 Sgs 2 (second hand)

7 Htc sensation

8 Xperia play

9 Xperia neo (BOTH)

10 Xperia Ray

11 Arc i dont know its exac price
[General Questions and Answers] Stevemotto:
Great list! I would suggest either the Desire HD or Evo 3D. If you dont mind second hand and the quality isn't that bad then the SGS2 would also be a great choice.
[General Questions and Answers] E \V o T lR i X ™ 3lD:
i would NOT buy the desire hd ;)

because the evo got 1gb of ram and a 1,2ghz dual core,

while the desire hd have 756mb of ram and only a single core 1ghz snap (i think its snapdragon like the dual in sensation and evo) so... i would buy the evo 3d between these two because the evo is REALLY high end (some people may dont think so..) and still better than iphone 4s and looks pretty good :)

thanks for reading this! :p

Arc or SGS II
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Going by your list

1.Get the Neo.The original not the V. It is the best, though it's been out of circulation, I doubt you'll find it.

2.Xperia Ray makes the most sense,or 3.the second hand galaxy s2. HTC are a hard root and the ray has ics, the latest android (via PC update) and a brilliant camera( same as the arc) and screen (300+ ppi)

4.Sure Huawei are not popular but with a custom rom,and it's dirt easy, it'll outperform many of the others,plus it's the cheapest.

[General Questions and Answers] jmomo:
You should really tell us what you want to do with the phone. It seems like you want an Android, but do you want to root it? How important are different mods to you? Not all Android phones as equally rootable or have well-supported mods. Some hardware is really locked down, and some is fairly open.

With older phones, the CPU, internal flash drive, availability of an SDcard slot, and many other factors can come into play.

I have an older Nexus One. It's near the end of it's time because it has a lame GPU and internal flash is too small, but since I can install a 32GB SDcard in it and it has a good CPU, it's still useful for me. It is also one of the best community supported phones out there, if not the very best.

I would suggest you to buy a brand new phone.

As an owner of SGS SII I would tell you that it is a great, great phone.

But if you dont have the resources to buy it new its not worth it.

If his previous user was a moron the phone may have something bugged or so.. the battery will be bad in most of the cases cuz the phone is used.

HTC's are really good phones and some of them have almost the same characteristics of Galaxy S2 at the 50% price, or atleast thats how it is in my country.

If you dont come from a rich family and you only buy phone in 3-4 years you better choose wisely.

I was obsessed with the SGS2 so I bought it but after 1 week I was havin a second thoughts about some HTC's, but its too late for me, because there's no chance I'm getting a new phone in the following 2 years.

Good luck, and remember.. you can always get a decent phone for 400$.. It might not be the phone of your dreams, but.. most of the people never get them anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
For those who may not have seen this, a Sprint VP yesterday put a date on when we might expect the *official* Sprint ICS update - and it will include Sense 3.6. In light of the VM woes, I for one will be in the "waiting for the official" camp. I apologize if this has been seen before - but to my knowledge this is the first *official* word on a release date from Sprint brass.

From the mouth of David Owens, a VP for the wireless provider, "the eagerly-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update for the HTC EVO 3D is set to arrive sometime in June."

Until then, I'm enjoying the Kingdom Boost ICS ROM has it has been fully functional with hardly any glitches. Android 4.0 + HTC Sense 3.6 = Win (in my book).
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
Meh... I included a pre-emptory mea culpa both in the OP and after. I would, in complete sincerity, love to know where the *official* date estimate was posted before... I say that only because the interview quoted happened *yesterday*. Any dates before that were, according to the article, pure speculation.

Having said that, I concur that this is probably in the wrong place and again would say feel free to move it...
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
notice how the release is after the release of the new evo. I wonder if they think the ics update will deter people from buying a new evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
Believe me I noted the same thing... Dual core 1.2 to dual core 1.5 with a better screen... I'd bet the 3D is fixin to have its price slashed. But the fact that Sprint is, and has been, selling the 3D full-out for the past entire year as a flagship phone alongside the SII, nexus, and soon-to-be-released E4GLTE, I think Sprint knew it *had* to include the 3D in the upgrade - or the sales of the 3D would have petered out long ago... Just a guess.

I'll be in line for the E4GLTE once Sprint's network issues (3 months, and counting) in my area are rectified. GD "network vision." "Sprint - the Hopefully Next Month network"
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Probably so. Everything to boost sales! But, peeps like us who try to be savvy with the phone rooting stuff tend to extend the lives of our phones way past what the tech moguls try to tell us they should be. Shoot, even ICS seems to be hitting the old HTC Aria with a processor that's less than 1 GHz.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Yup, posted several days ago.

Also Evo 3d has already been declared end of life on Sprint. Virgin mobile Evo 3D will get ICS before Sprint, that is how we have a leak of ICS over in the Dev forum. A nice FU from Sprint....
[HTC EVO 3D] Hammerfest:
may have been posted elsewhere, but I hardly look anywhere other then the /development forum... so I for one am very glad it had the "moved" tag in the development forum or I wouldn't have seen it...
[HTC EVO 3D] Phreddo:
It's marketing, I can see the angle. They don't want to tank potential sales of the new product by encouraging new customers to buy a cheaper phone capable of delivering nearly the same experience. So leave the new one on top long enough to get all the new customers to jump on, then start feeding the existing contract customers.

Now, I'm willing to expect the phone will never get an update, or at least take longer than it will to get me a new phone (Epic), but if they follow through with the ICS upgrade, that will make me a happy camper and tide me over until I'm ready and willing to renew my contract come November.

Figure that will also give enough time for tweaks to be made and bugs to be squished.

I *also* expect the upgrade to be delayed until the end of July :(
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
Well there ya have it! I didn't find that one in a quick, cursory search and assumed the news so new that it didn't occur to me others would've found it.

As for Sprint - I'm quickly losing faith - between my aforementioned network issues and their track record of slow-to-market updates - I'm rethinking my switch away from AT&T to Sprint - and now considering the unthinkable - Verizon....
[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
I used to think that. Until I actually used Sense 3.6. Then I was deterred to use a custom ROM or contemplate the EVO LTE.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

I hear ya. AT&T has the best selection as far as phones go (IMO). But I wonder, since VM is getting the 3VO, does this mean HTC will be obligated/choose to continue to release updates for it or will they not care as it's not an actual contract?
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
To be fair that technically wasn't an official update schedule. He said "the other devices" will get them in June, not the 3D specifically. Thread stays.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
I've been using Boost Kingdom ROM. It's by far been very bug free (little stuff, but, still a daily driver). It's not based on any VM leaks. It's a fully functional port. I have 4G, 3D camera, Wifi tether, bluetooth, video recording, camera. I haven't found anything really borked on it. Plus, I reverted back to my 2.3 GB ROM with no issues when I needed to get something from the data.

It has HTC Sense 3.6 as well and it's the best Sense I've used yet. Very smooth.

I've been to AT&T, and they suck. I'm not too crazy about Sprint, however, to be honest, out of the phone companies I have dealt with or have family who has dealt with, Sprint has been the least hassle, even though their network is slow and their updates, too. I use way too much data to be limited to 2 GB per month. Scr3w that.
