iPhone?! So because there is some uncertainty about an OS that hasn't come out yet... you are going to get a phone that hasn't come out yet?

Why don't you just wait until either the iphone 5 or WP8 compatibility are confirmed?

The rumor mill is saying October for an iphone 5 release. If that is the case there is a pretty good chance we will have some WP8 compatibility clarity by then.

Anyway I'm on contract so I had to get a phone now. There was no way I was going to wait around 6-8 months on contract for a phone. I have to upgrade ASAP to justify the monthly bill I'm paying.

There's a Windows Phone developer conference on June 20 / 21, so there's a good chance of that.

oh, damn. i read it, but not the update in the end :D

im sorry about that^^

Welcome back Kotter :D

I'm saving money to buy a WP8 new phone...

it was predictable that, older phones would not get the update :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
When I had my LG Optimus 2x Windows 7 showed both the phone and the SD card inside as removeable storage. My SGS2 however does not and is shown as a phone like if I had added it like a bluetooth device.

Is there some way for me to get it to show up as a removeable filestorage instead?. Because the present way it is present to Windows 7 means it takes ages and ages to transfer files to and from my phone, while the LG showing up as removeable storage did it in a jiffy.

Does anyone know how to?

the Adventure of Tintin isn't working with me
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Surprising considering you're on a rom not made for our phones.

yes it is

and this rom very stable and fast
[Kindle Fire General] DevonL:
So the battery died completely in my girlfriends rooted Kindle Fire. When plugged into the USB cable via the computer, it would just keep shutting off and on again. I plugged it into the wall outlet, it boot up to CM9 and then shut right off again and indicated it was charging. Went to turn it on now and the device simply wont turn on. The back light turns on and off via the power button, but the device does NOT power on at all. Help?
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Questions:

Have you pressed the power button for 20 seconds to shut it down and try again?

What version of FireFireFire are you using?

How long did you let it charge before trying again?

When the device is turned on, does it show up in your device manager?

When the device is turned on, are you able to send adb or fastboot commands like "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"?
[Kindle Fire General] DevonL:
Thanks! I was able to get it to boot finally by simply holding down the power button while it was plugged into the AC outlet. I have no idea why that worked!
[HTC One X] Jonnibravo:
I am seriously agonizing over whether or not to root my HOX, I have had a desire and rooted and flashed it to within an inch of its life and never had an issue, and its still going strong and running Shaky153's new ICS Sense rom.

My only concern is that I am unsure whether the HOX is as technically or physically robust as the Desire, and I keep getting the impression that it could breakdown at anytime, I'm not too bothered about physical damage as the phone is insured, but if it has to be returned to HTC I'm F*!£^%.

Please someone help me make this decision, should I root, if so why?

If not why?
[HTC One X] iximages:
Its totally up to you mate, but I will say that I had my HOX rooted a couple hours after purchasing it! And I love it!!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
your decision mate...or wait for S-OFF..if you have a solid handset and no defects or issues with software then i would unlock it as by rooting this bad boy is the whole point of getting this phone. just do not forget about the bad stuff like voiding warranty though there is a couple of threads regarding this issue in the general section have a read through before unlocking...
[HTC One X] cronus101:
I would wait for s-off. I'm not going to fiddle with mine until that is achieved. In the meantime, my desire will handle my flash addiction :D.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
You do know that it voids warranty, right ??

If you just got it, then wait at least a week, test everything properly and make sure there aren't any hardware faults/manufacturing defects.
[HTC One X] LuffyPSP:
I have always rooted my devices after few hours of purchases. Except this one x. I actually cant wait to try custom roms and use root apps like i always do but sense 4 is beautiful and enough to keep me away from modifying it. So i think, i can wait for s-off. Plus, hearing the defects here and there, it would actually worth it to wait. I only have this device for 5 days so nothing to be rushed.
[HTC One X] errorrat:
I would

It's totally up to you but I would root just for some root apps (completely remove system apps, etc.). You should always be able to unroot.
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
I'm starting to have withdrawals.....lol. My head is just going... I need to flash, I need to flash, and it's really getting hard not to be tempted and wait for S-OFF.
[HTC One X] Pluto:
I wasn't planning to root but I'm tempted to now just for the sake of 2 things, the 3dot menu remover patch and the font changer.
[HTC One X] fpaz:
hahaha. same here. I'm still new to the flashing rom even using android phones (Coming from iOS) and yet i took the risk of rooting it and applying custom roms. ARHD is the best!!!:)

http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4FB

I know there have been emails, speculation and all of that jazz.

Here it is however, officially official for anyone/everyone to see.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I'm sure if you call a few customer service reps, you can find one or two that will reignite the speculation. It's too quite in here.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
yeah that's it. Does kind of suck. my phone was one of the first to receive an ics update from htc and it is absolutely amazing even with its heavily skinned sense ui. But the downside is its built on 4.03 and before 4.04, ics is so buggy you'd think it was in beta, and battery life has gone to complete hell too, and for the htc vivid, it's probably its first and last update from htc.

Hopefully someone delivers a good ics rom for us.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Sounds like a plan. I'll get on it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I'm running CM9, ICS on my old Color Nook and its great. Stable, wonderful.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Whoareyou:
Guys, sign my petition in my thread, we get enough signatures we will surely get ICS
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
Or steady full working honeycomb. This is a more definite chance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
they said they aren't done supporting it but I call bs. i originally suggested new features for honeycomb but now if they just fixed the gps, made it faster and smoother, and fixed the game data downloading issues I'd be happy. Probably won't happen though. I'm just going to stay on gingerbread
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] algorhythm:
You must be high lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cirian75:
no good news as its 99% the same chips as the Sensation XL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Lol yeah I don't see a petition doing much good at this point. HTC has decided the cost of giving us an update is more than the cost of loosing our business so they'll just ignore a petition.

Really I don't seen how it could cost them that much though. These is a company that doesn't differentiate from hardware too much and there are several phones that either have ics or are getting it with very similar if not identical hardware. Its not like they have to develop from scratch, really just taking something like the one v rom, optimize it for a tablet, and adding drivers for the front camera is all they'd have to do. 90% of all htc device's if not more have some version of the snapdragon with an adreno gpu so getting us a working ICS update shouldn't take more than a day with the resources they have.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
Its still a nice tablet.

Disappointed in HTC - would have to think long and VERY hard before buying another product from this manufacturer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
yeah it is a nice tablet still. I don't get the marketing and design though. they set it up to fail from day one by releasing it at a high price point that you could get a 10 inch honeycomb tablet for. most people just passed it up and went to the xoom sitting next to it. or just bought an ipad. HTC seems to do this alot, just throw some product out there with some innovative features, but overall make it unappealing to the market (in this case the pen, but remember the Facebook phone?). They really took a knife to a gun fight with the flyer and now they wanna pretend it never existed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
Long term, the phone and tablet market will be a 2 horse race. The SGS and Galaxy tab outsell any HTC phones/tablets and the Apple Iphone/Ipad will continue to dominate (....am I allowed to say that here ?)

Nokia are making massive losses.

RIM in steep decline.

Sony have lost their mojo.

HTC struggled last year but the One range may do them some good - if they don't alienate too many flyer/view owners :(

Samsung are a bit plasticky.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
yeah I'm a former samsung owner, build quality could be worse but they do use too much plastic no doubt
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
I am teh sad.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Mushhushshu:
Wouldn't mind so much if HC didn't suck so much on the flyer - performance just seems awful. Ah well think I'm just gonna stick Dexter's ICS/Sense 4 rom on my flyer and live without the pen. At least I'll have the goodness of chrome and it runs much smoother than the official HC release ever did.

I'll have to think carefully about ever buying another HTC device - if I wasn't so happy with my one X I think I'd have turned my back on them by now. Not that they'd care of course.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Well HTC sucks, but not as much as Motorola ( i have the dorid x2) who locks their bootloaders, never unlocks them, never releases the source code and drops support even for currently selling phones only 4 months old. But wait, ain't Motorola part of that funny sounding company ,,,?? starts with a G........ oh, yes, Google. Hummmmmmmm

Oh and BTW, FYI, UBETCHA, I'm reverting to FROYO, which was so less laggy, leggy, jerky, jittery, clucky, clicky, smelly, bed bug ridden ,stinky, crappy, gassy, slimy, limey, and sticky/rickety than GB, HC, ICS, JB and any future or past or other version of Andorid, IOS, WP, SENSE, BB, ET, or NBC.

And speaking of petitions, I'm gonna start a petition to have Apple and Samsung bury HTC in patient infringement litigation to the point for HTC cannot sell a single device , hhahhaahhahooohooohhhoehehehehehee LOL LMAO.

There I feel so much better now.

I asked htc about this and they said "Dear **** *******,

Thank you for your email regarding your HTC Flyer.

My name is David and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.

I understand that you wish to enquire if the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) update will be made available for your tablet.

We really do appreciate your interest in our products John. I do apologise but the HTC Flyer would not be receiving the ICS update. This is because this update is incompatible with this device.

However, your experience with our phones is very important for us, and we take these comments very seriously. HTC is a forward thinking company and appreciates any feedback received from its customers. Your comments, concerns and suggestions will be taken into consideration and passed on to our development ream.

I do apologise for the inconvenience this may be causing you.

I Replied saying about the hundreds of sense 4 ics ports out there and all they needed to do to one of them is fix the camera and the scribe function and they would have an ICS rom!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
... so did they answer your query successfully ?

Seems like the support guy is asking you to swallow the BS line "incompatible with your device". Might be worth further enquiring as to why it is incompatible ...

We really do appreciate your interest in our products. I do apologise but the HTC Flyer would not be receiving the ICS update. This is because HTC are moving out of the tablet space and it is uneconomic to support your device further.

Your experience with our phones isn't really important for us, and we will file your comments in the trash can. HTC is losing money and has bigger problems than dealing with feedback received from its customers. Your comments, concerns and suggestions will be ignored - we probably don't even have a tablet development team to forward them to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueGoldAce:
I need to know how to completely return the sprint galaxy nexus to stock. I have a mac so I can't use odin, or one of the one-click tools. I ran a mac unroot tool, but I notice that it flashed the verizon rom, radios, etc. So where can I get all the replacement files, and the code lines to return the phone to stock?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Get your Sprint files lined up and follow any Windows "manual method" guide. Just use Terminal instead of Command Prompt, and put "./" in front of every command.

You'll need ADB and Fastboot for OSX. I've attached them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueGoldAce:
Where can I get the files?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueGoldAce:
If you don't mind, could you or someone link me to the files, and the exact steps I should follow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueGoldAce:
Anyone, I could really use the help. I managed to make this worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
EDIT: Misread. Not sure if what I posted i will work on a Sprint device. Previous comments deleted.

EDIT2: OK, I haven't attempted this myself (obviously), as I don't have a Sprint device, but you can try this:

Follow the instructions here (and look at post #58 as well for MacOS-specific instructions) EXCEPT, instead of downloading the yakju/takju/mysid stock file, download the .tar file from here.

Thank a lot...I finally figured it out, thanks in part to the links you gave me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Maximiano:
Hey Guys,

I just recently sold my Evo 3D and upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint - very happy. I have noticed A LOT of raving reviews about the SLCD 2 screen and that it makes the AMOLED look washed out etc...

What are you initial reactions to the screen, brightness, clarity, viewing angles etc? Does it really beat out the Super AMOLED HD?

Thanks.

Does it beat it!?!? Retina display what? Amoled who? Screen is brilliant! Love it!!!!!!!!!!

Sent from my Transformer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
when i first got my LTEvo, my eyes were in disbelief. absolutely beautiful. i miss the deep blacks of an amoled but blacks in exchange for every other color is a fair trade. enough to jump ship? ehh if you really got the spare cash sure
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
yes.. the display difference is outstanding
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jre1981:
I have to say this screen is Ahhhhhhhhhh-mazing. I have a family member that has a iPhone 4s and my LTEvo screen uses the apples retina display to wipe it's @$$
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] filmaker:
I agree as well, the screen is truly amazing! Like seriously...when you look at it for the first time, it blows everything away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] paradox183:
When I saw press photos showing the EVO's screen, the skeptical side of me assumed they were photoshopped because the screen looked great, uniformly bright, and crisp at just about any angle. Now that I've seen it in person, it is seriously ridiculously awesome. When looking at it at an angle it doesn't even LOOK like an LCD screen; it looks like a screenshot of my phone pasted on top of the screen, kinda like those non-functional demo units you see in stores. It's just silly.

Another notch in the SLCD2's favor is that it won't have any burn-in. I think I read somewhere that AMOLED screens are vulnerable to burn-in?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NZtechfreak:
I think my One X display is better than my Note/Nexus display, and better than the S3 display (I had a couple of hours hands-on with the S3 last weekend). The S3 display is also awesome, but overall SLCD-2 still has it for me (and I'm a self-confessed AMOLED fan).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
Anytime iPhone and a$$ wiping are used in the same sentence that's a win

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bballer71418:
It may be just me but this screen has kind of changes the way I interact with my phone...its the most beautiful screen I have ever seen by far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Maximiano:
Wow. Overwhelming votes for SLCD 2. Has anyone come from a Galaxy Nexus?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imnotbert:
I upgraded from a Nexus S to a Galaxy Nexus. I wasn't disappointed with the display but I don't remember being amazed by it either. I returned the GNEX within my 14 day window when i heard of the discounts for preordering the LTEvo at BB and trading in an og Evo.

Just completely blown away by the LTEvo display right out of the box...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
SLCD2 ~ Samoled+ >> Samoled HD.

SLCD2 = amazing pixel density, high resolution - immediately noticeable if you play a lot of youtube videos. Good brightness. Requires high brightness for good contrast ratio.

Samoled+ = amazing contrast ratio. Not pixelated. Good brightness. Somewhat low resolution, only noticeable in videos.

Samoled HD = a step down from samoled+ in all almost all parameters. Still amazing contrast ratio. But very pixelated. Decent brightness.

Phones I've used - Evo LTE, Epic Touch, Galaxy Nexus.

I'd say I equally enjoy both SLCD2 and Samoled+. Samoled HD is just too grainy and dim.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
^^^^^ THIS made me spit my freaking soda all over my OG EVO!

Come on man, I got to make this thing last till my LTE arrives!!

On a side note, that would be an excellent commercial for HTC.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
Love it. I lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
when you play a high res game with intense graphics on this, the screen really shows itself off. its quite amazing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
search around and youll see a post from xHausx where he showed the GNexus screen and why he hated it...the pentile was too much and after seeing the pics he posted i agree...

showed how the word "Fastboot" was completely blocky...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
Let me tell you how good it is. I have very bad eye-sight. So, when I have to work on electronics or something very small I love it that I can just remove my glasses and get right-up close to whatever I'm working on. It's like I have the super-power of close-up vision. On my original EVO, SGS2, and AMOLED HD I can take my glasses off and see the individual pixel. On my new EVO with it's SLDC2 screen: I cannot see the individual pixel. The screen density is that good. Oh, and the colors and brightness are out of this world. I actually did the ultimate Sun test and the results are spectacular: I can see the screen just fine in the bright daylight standing outside.

Unbe-****ing-lieveable!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Maximiano:
Wow!! I am going to have to go to the Sprint store on Saturday to check it out and compare it against my Gnex
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Success100:
im gonna do the same today, i cant imagine a better LCD being better than the SA+ on my epic touch 4g, but if it is, Ill be buying it to check it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jb0134:
I also had this thing in full sun today and could still see perfectly. This screen is amazing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
You can't imagine it? Well, many reviewers say it's the best screen in existence. Most people I've heard talk about it say the SA+ looks too fake and intense while this phone's screen looks realistic and clarity is out of this world. I must concur.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] salvasaur:
SLCD2 is hands down the prettiest screen I've ever seen.

Edit: Think I found that POST sgt. slaughter was talking about, if anyone is interested.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Success100:
well i went ahead and bought one. I want to love this phone and i DO think by far its the best out of the EVO series.

ME PERSONALLY cannot stand the screen. I was expecting to be blown away after reading all of the reviews. I do like the increased resolution over the epic touch 4g(previous phone) but the contrast and colors are in MY opinion NO comparison. When I initially unboxed my epic touch my first thought was "WOW". When I opened this I did notice the increased resolution, but wanted to pick my et4g back up. Im probably going to return it tomorrow based off of it. Call me stupid call me whatever but Super Amoled has spoiled me. Plus aside from benchmarks, the et4g/s2 series is still faster than this thing real world usage.

I am not bashing this thing at all, its a hell of a phone, but if i have to pick s-lcd or SA OR SA+ I've gotta go with the SA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
To each his own. You can have your own opinions, but I have to question your vision.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
SA+ is an acquired taste I think. To me it looks childish. It's probably like what the world looks like when you're on drugs, haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
Agree 100%. I was going to describe it as looking like a cartoon. SLCD2 ftw!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ÜBER™:
My thoughts exactly. LCD looks washed and the contrast isnt as good.... like comparing my old epic 4g to the OG Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Success100:
yeah its a huge difference. I guess different strokes different folks. some people like the more natural look, i love the deep blacks and awesome contrast on SA+.

I do love the high res of this phone tho, which is why I think the s3 is going to be the phone for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ÜBER™:
I'm not dissing the Evo I say its screen is fantastic but its just not a SA. I just wish the S3 wouldn't of been a pentile... but they do last longer than pluses.
