Ouch and to think I am sitting here frustrated until I get a new one since Google Wallet crapped out and I won't even use it that much. Guess I can't get too upset.

I dropped mine while I was doing a exchange at Best Buy for a dead pixel. I was inspecting it for flaws and it slipped out my hand :eek: Lucky I was sitting down and it landed on desk-counter and nothing happen to it :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robotopher:
Not a drop so much as it flew out of my shirt pocket, skidded across a bar floor and smacked into a wall. Picked it up and not a single scratch at all. I was beyond shocked.

My OG EVO went off a 2nd story deck.... Luckily I had siedio case (seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-convert-extended-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr5hev4x.htm) and zagg screen protector.... No damage..... Still crazy though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Señor Poo:
So which is worse?

1) Dropping your brand new EVO LTE.....or

2) Preordering your EVO LTE not knowing when you'll recieve it.

Better to have loved and dropped than never to have loved at all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Tough decision.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Artanis:
I couldn't tell you. I got mine last week. Once its in your hands its all better. Sorry.

I dropped mine yesterday while getting out of the car. Thank God i put on that ugly case they sent. i nearly **** my pants. but with the silicone case it nothing appears to have happened to it. i miss having a lanyard. But this case will do for now.

WHY DID THEY STOP PUTTING LANYARD HOLES ON PHONES!!!?!?!?!?!

i dont care if most people in the states dont use them, i always did!!! everyone in asia still uses them!!!!!

during pre-order, sites had HTC LANYARDS in their accessory sections, i was so excited, but after i got the phone, NO LANYARD HOLES. JUST A BIG TEASE

Dropped mine when it was in the blue gel HTC case onto brick. No damage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] josuave83:
I didn't get a gel case, I got a silver bodyglove vibe.... The phone hit the ground on its end, the only spot where the case doesn't cover
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
I got that silver body glove case too, now I'm upset seeing others got better cases

I just dropped my phone outta 3 story window (Galaxy S II) basically the same height as my neighbors roof... I was playing on it while smoking a cigarette and it slipped out of my hand... I ran down the stairs FAST! and when I got outside it was still in tact :) I checked I have no marks at all just a few scuff marks that wiped right off it landed on the screen too! I have a d30 duo shock case, (which now I will. Have on every phone I buy!) and a zag screen protector! I'm amazed and soo happy :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
You people are clumsy. I haven't dropped mine yet and won't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fearbasel04:
Ok I have over no joke over 40 different phones over a ten year span. I use to work at a retail store that sells sprint and since the HTC touch I been a Htc fan. Only once have I dropped my phone into a bucket of mop water that was freaky. I also buy good cases and have insurance. It's the be safe then sorry feeling. Ever since the windows PDA that I recall buying for 500 bucks have I did the insurance. Since then these phones are fragile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Dropped mine yesterday.

I got out of the car and it slipped out of my hands onto the parking lot asphalt.

Just two small notches in the metal lining on the very left bottom corner of the phone is all the damage it took.

A friend said they bet my heart jumped. I said, "Nah, Its just a phone."

I'm lucky that there were no scratches on the back casings or glass.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
I've had cell phones for a long time, and I stopped dropping them when I got my i860 Nextel. I've always had phones that are delicate, and I'm careful about my electronics. Unless they're marketed as such, THEY'RE NOT SHOCK RESISTANT, and they will break.

My philosophy, if you're a klutz in your day-to-day life, you should have a case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] splcfiya:
I have an otterbox case and i hate it. So big and bulky. but it works until i find something slimmer.

It's not always about being clumsy, sometimes sh!t just happens. I live in NYC and at any moment someone can walk or run into my hand while im walking down the street and send my phone flying. Let us also not even bring up a crowded bar with drunken people who like to zig zag unpredictably.

Truth is, if my insurance was still $100 then i wouldnt even bother, but at a $200 deductible i feel forced to rock a case.

[HTC Amaze 4G] EyeAndroid:
Hey there,

So I rooted and rommed an Amaze 4g for a friend of mine like 6 months ago, the phone is only unlocked but not S-OFF.

He just wants to go back to stock & frankly im tired of the lifetime tech support - so its a win win.

I put him on GB Android revolution, i believe that's a stock rom with a few tweaks.

Can I just update the phone to the Latest TRUE ICS and be done with it?

I could care less if it relocks the phone & unroots it. I just wanna be done with it.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] boojay:
LMAO, win!

Sorry, I just know how you feel ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Na, you'll have to flash back to stock GB, just download one of the stock GB RUU'S and flash it via the bootloader, do the ics update from android via ota.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EyeAndroid:
OK I just downloaded the stock gb ruu. You mean flash it in cwm or rename the zip and do an update.zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Rename the file PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, not in any folders, just on the sd, reboot into your bootloader (should know how to get this), the hboot will auto detect the file, when it's done scanning it, just hit volume up to flash it, give it a few, it's gonna install and auto reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EyeAndroid:
Thanks for your response. However after HBOOT loads everything, it just goes back to the little androids on skateboards and doesn't ask to update.

What to do?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Relock bootloader and try again. :D

My gnex fell out of my pocket last night and the screen cracked and I'm anal and don't want it unless its flawless the way I had it :-(

I have insurance on it so

Should I drop it in water or report it stolen? Which would take less time?

Insurance covers if you dropped it and cracked it. Do not discuss any type of intentional damage to commit fraud!

[General Questions and Answers] Luiz Neme:
Hello everybody,

Last month I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note GT7000N with an European kernel (xxla1) and would like to know if it is possible to install a Brazilian kernel, because I'm having some difficulty with some programs in Brazil due to its kernel (programas such as road radar maps, etc.)

If not, is there a way I can solve this problem - maybe by rooting the phone?

Thank you,
[General Questions and Answers] hrjj:
Kernel is device related. You need a rooted device if you want

to change kernel. What makes you think the problems are

kernel related ?
[General Questions and Answers] Luiz Neme:
First of all, thanks for replying.

I believe it is kernel related, because, using the example of the road radar map software, it only installs the map related to the language activated on the galaxy note.

So if I have it in German, the maps from Germany will be installed.

However, there is no option to activate Brazilian Portuguese, which is what I need, so the maps for Brazil can't be installed.

Thus, I assumed that changing the kernel to one that includes Brazilian Portuguese would solve my problem.

Regards,

but what i really want is to reboot into recovery. any idea on how to? i read in first linked post that the problem is in symlinked reboot to busybox, thats why deleting helped somewhat. anyone has an idea on how to get rebooting to recovery in terminal working?

oh, and my rom is rcmix 4.0. i've read that problem is rom related. but i dont want to switch, because it would defeat the purpouse in the first place....

[General Questions and Answers] arpitjpatel:
Hello frenz,

i want to buy a phone which records calls without voices from my side when i have muted my microphone. but i have the following prob.

i have to use call conferencing with my microphone muted and listen to my seniors lecture. sometimes when i m busy, i have to record calls without beeps using total recall, vox track personal or other 3rd party call recorders on my nokia. but the prob is when i record call with my mic muted, it records call including the surrounding noises from my side. How can this happen? i have muted my mic, even then it records my voices in call recording. i even tried it in nokia's built-in recorder.

Check this yourself: just call up yr customer care, after the call starts, mute microphone from options, now go to applications and start recording using in- built recorder or any 3rd party recording appli u want. just say 'hello-hello' for some time and then stop recording. now disconnect call (its free call). go to gallery and check the recording. i think it will have recorded the customer care voice and yr 'hello=hello'. this means the mic is not muted when u r recording, just the call receiver (cust care) cant hear u.

i went to Nokia care n they were kind to inform me that the older nokias [N70-73, E50/51, N81, N82] used mic as hardware, i mean it can be detached/ removed/ repaired. so when u mute call in those phones n then record calls, as there is a mechanical mic, it would not record noises from caller side. but as this mic had probs n several people tempered with mics, nokia started using digital mic. so even if u record with mic muted, it will record ur voices.

this is nokia centre story. those who deal with hardwares, plz confirm this and help me on buyin a phone with hassle free call recording. i think i'll have to buy a second hand nokia N82 or N81. Plz tell me which phone models have mechanical mic or shud i go for other mobile companies in which they have in-built call recorder without beep and without the above problem

Plz help me out. thanx

I have been reading everyday since the day it came out... the same day I bought it.

Hope you all don't mind but I have quite a few questions/frustrations

1st, Battery life is killing me... cannot make it through a day, I have put my screen on auto which seems a lot dimmer than set to 40 or 60%. All I do is play some solitaire, check mail a lot, a little bit of net, maybe 30 minutes of calls (tops) a few txt msgs, with maybe 2 hours or slightly more of screen time.

External speaker is embarrassing... tried showing a video to a friend with an iphone and felt like flushing the damn phone after he did the same.

Data connectivity is still hit and miss... one minute I have 4 bars of 4G and the next I have none.

I am on (details in sig) 4.0.4 (Craig Gomez version) with the newest radios. The device is a serious work tool for me so I really don't have the time to try different ROMS or kernels all the time... I need it always ready for calls, emails and occasional RDP or Logmein sessions .

For those of you have actually tried many/experienced in the world of various ROMs & kernels... do you have a suggestion of what to do with my setup?

Between the battery and data connectivity I feel the phone is close to crap... my friends with Razors have none of these problems and I feel like I am ready to snap.

BTW... if you could be even more kind... if you have a suggestion on what to run, could you suggest a brief set of instructions... i.e. nandriod, full wipe, install this first that second...

Thanks for any and all help... I sure would like to come up with or remember a reason why I have this and not a razor max.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Do you have the latest radios? That will make a difference. I do know the speaker is weak. There's not much to do but for a volume hack, some roms have it enabled.

Id ask for a replacement phone if battery is that bad and you can't get a decent signal anywhere but other phones can. Sounds like a defective phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK00413:
I've been using Android Revolution for about 2 weeks, and as for today, I don't think there's anything as good as it. It's just like stock, just a little bit faster. I have great battery life, 5 to 6 Hours of screen on time, AutoBrightness, sync on, wifi always on, etc, it's pretty good, you should give it a try.

I've also used AOKP (with FrancoKernel and with stock kernel), and even tho I liked all extra features, in my experience, with screen off, it drains battery a looot faster that stock/ARHD.

I used an app called equalizer to fix the speaker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Autobrightness will kill your battery more than a static 40 or 60%.

2 hours of screen on time seems normal for the Verizon Nexus.

Try the volume + app for your speaker problems.

There are some kernels that have sound boosts built in.

Signal drops means you should exchange the phone. Use the insurance.

Honestly if you hate the phone as much as it sounds, just get a different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Perfect response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Don't get me wrong... I in no way "hate" phone, if I did I would have gotten rid of it.

I'm frustrated not stupid.

I am amazed that Verizon hasn't done something about it... most of the buyers of this phone are not IT savvy rooters... my phone works a lot better than stock, I cannot imagine how frustrated someone on 4.0.2 would be.

Anyway... I am going to take it back to stock and return it... guess I will try it (the new one) out stock but I know I will want it rooted. Guess I'll try some of the suggested software\ROMS.

I wonder what a stock one is coming with these days?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I never called you stupid.

Stock phones will 99% come with 4.0.2 but like I said, they don't all have the problems you have.. except low speaker volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Anyone that would keep a phone they hate would have to be stupid :p

Well... things just changed again.

Just talked with Verizon and he asked if I installed the update pushed out on the 25th? I told him I will give it a shot and get back to them.

Anyone got instructions for reverting back to stock?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
Hi,

So, I got a Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) WiFi+3G. Nordic/European version. I have a long history of rooting and running custom ROM's on my Android devices, but this time i f##ed up a bit.

1. Installed root_original.zip from this thread by copying it on to the tablet and applying it from stock recovery.

2. Booted and installed Superuser and ROM Manager from Market.

3. Used ROM Manager to install CWM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Yes, I know...).

4. Tab would not boot, but I could still get in to download mode. Browsed some XDA threads and came across this guy who seemed to have the same problem. I did not see that he had a P7310 (WiFi only) tablet. So, I used Odin 1.85 to install the bootloader, which was for the P7310, not for P-7300. Now, the tablet boots but the display is just flickering, like it is using a wrong refresh rate or wrong resolution. Not at all possible to read anything, but I can still get into Download mode.

5. Installed stock rom from here, specifically this one: P7300XWLA2------2012 January----P7300NEELA1-----Nordic countries----

Still no luck. The tablet boots into Android but the display is still flickering.

$20 for anyone who gets me out of this mess :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] safariking:
Can you come in recovery ?

Than try this?

There is an option in CWM under the mount and storage tab where stands mount usb connection click on that and move this to your tab after that install it

I hope it will work!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kallt_kaffe:
You could also try the Swedish firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146666862/13403b2/P7300XWKL4_P7300NSEKL1_NSE.zip.html

The NSE are usually pretty much the same as NEE with some swedish bloatware. Worth a try I guess.

Also see this guide for how to use Odin in case you did something wrong: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

One thing that I've noticed when flashing with Odin is that even if I check the F.reset checkbox it still does not do a factory reset (at least it did not do it for me). You should be able to do a factory reset using the stock recovery.

Oh and btw, my advice is for free.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
Hi safariking,

I can get in to recovery, but I'm unable to read anything, as the display is just flickering. I would need a press-by-press guide in order to perform the steps correctly... :/
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
Thanks kallt_kaffe, I'll try the swedish firmware and follow the guide step-by-step :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
Installs correctly but does not fix my display problem.

I followed the guide step-by-step. No errors occured during flashing.

I can't really verify the factory reset. I can get into stock recovery, but the display is still rubbish so I can't do a manual factory reset.

I voted for you guys in ESC so I guess we're even :)

I have attached a photo of the tab in stock recovery so you can see what's wrong. This happens no matter if I start normally, recovery or download mode.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] safariking:
Wooow that looks not good man i think you must return it back to samsung

you can run a logcat maybe
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kallt_kaffe:
If you turn it off and charge it, is the charging-mode-display also distorted?

Also if I were you I would leave it on in download or recovery mode and let the battery drain completely. Worth a shot I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
If I turn it off it automatically turns back on and boots Android. So I can't see if the "charging while turned off" icon is also distorted.

I left it in download mode last night, it's still turned on. I'll let the battery drain and see what happens when I connect the charger.

When I flash a complete ROM with Odin (e.g. the Swedish ROM you suggested) - is there anything left to flash that could be causing this? If I were to return the tablet to the dealer, will there be any evidence of dumb-user-flashing? ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kallt_kaffe:
I honestly do not know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Have you tried flashing the PIT file (in the PIT section) along with the ODIN image (in the PDA section)? You can download the PIT file so you can click on Repartition, right here. It's a very small file. Be sure you have F.Reset Time checkmarked too. Best of lucks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] suwandiapr:
If you flash a bootloader for P7310 so when you trying to flash P7300 ROM with odin, the bootloader will mapping all file just like P7310 with their partition Layout.. I think the pit file is not the solution..

First you need turn back the bootloader to original form.. I dont know where I can find P7300 bootloader..

After you finish with the bootloader, try to install P7300 Stock rom, with pit file and repartition..

I dont know if this post will help you.. but it worth to try..

EDIT:

maybe you can use firmware from P7300ZSKH5 from this link

This file include with bootloader and pit file..

Flash with Odin like image below

Sorry for my english..
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] snubbel:
Re-partitioning with the PIT file along with the ROM did not help :/
