[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cropythy:
I just got a GSM galaxy nexus today from ordering off the google play store, but it has the purple tint screen issue about as bad as any screen shots I have seen. I am having trouble finding information on the site of how to go about starting an exchange of this one for another, anyone have experience with this and able to tell me where to begin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
Before going through the hassle of exchanging, try this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521195

It's a thread for screen calibration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cropythy:
Its not an issue of color reproduction issues, this is a case of greys having a purple tint at low backlight levels. An issue well documented on this site and several others, and I have already tried some fixed by tweaking some color values etc but to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
These screens are pretty derp at low light levels bud. Mine has some banding at low light but i decided to live with it. My last nexus one had a small beard hair lodged just behind the glass in the lower left hand corner. Or perhaps it was an eight year old sweat shop workers eyebrow hair. At any rate i lived with it for years. It really comes down to if you can live with it or not. I imagine its a samsung rma and not a google contact you need if you plan to exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
As long as its NO LONGER THAN 14 days, they will ship you a new Gnex via 2 day, and send you a prepaid shipping label to your email so you can ship them.back the defective unit.

Also, they ask for a credit card to charge IN CASE you should happen to keep both units. They'll only charge you if you don't return the defective one, or see that you cracked the screen or has water damage, etc. Just call Google Play CS and they'll set it up for you. :)
[HTC Rezound] neckbonest:
this is what my hboot says and im not sure why

LOCKED

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.11.0000

why is there a "RL" at the end of s-off:confused:
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
I don't know what the rl stands for and I'd like to know as well, but that is perfectly normal. I recommended the dev hboot if you intend to modify from here on out as unlocking with the htcdev will make it a pain to return to stock. (Relock, s-on, s-off then s-on again)
[HTC Rezound] neckbonest:
ive been s-off for a while now and i was on a modifided hboot with ics firmware and ics rom. i decided to downgrade my firmware to the 2.11 GB. after that is when the RL showed up at the end of s-off.

i never unlocked after s-offing and now its is acting like im locked and s-on.

i even had to flash recovery with fastboot as no other method would work.

i am going to unlock and s-off again. i just thought it was weird how it happend

nevermind, i just looked at a pic i had and the "RL" is there. i guess i just never noticed it before
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Are you still s-off'd? Did you unlock yet? It's as easy as flashing a patched 2.11 hboot via ph98img to get fastboot commands to work again.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Do not bother to unlock once you have S-off. Trust me, just unwanted trouble.

Just flash a JuopunutBear hboot.

Edit: to elaborate just a bit, if you did need to do a warranty exchange or repair and wanted the bootloader to look stock by saying Locked/S-on:

Coming from Locked/S-off you'd just run a GB RUU and do a few fastboot commands to achieve S-on.

Coming from Unlocked/S-off, you'll need to do the RUU, relock bootloader, and do fastboot commands for S-on... then the whole S-off procedure again... then repeat RUU and fastboot S-on.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chiikko561:
I was looking in the atrix 4g forum and curious is there anyway we can port done roms over they have so many and we ain't got ****e what's up with that
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Whats up with that is a locked BL.

and no, you cant port anything over with a locked BL. ( atleast to my understanding )
[Motorola Atrix 2] chiikko561:
Ok Is that the problem
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
Atrix 4g is a totally different phone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but even with a unlocked bootloader it won't work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
The two phones ARE COMPLETELY different. It is possible though... but it would require heavy editing of the kernel so it would work with our specific hardware. It's that same as asking someone to port a ROM from the Galaxy S II. Impossible without a bootloader unlock (which thankfully we at least have a bypass).

Correct me if I'm wrong :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
The bypass only half works. there are glitches and you can only use 1 cpu
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
We are working on the issues with kexec. I am hopeful that we can fix the 1 CPU issue, but we need to figure out a couple other issues before we can fix that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
My wife has a atrix 4g and after messing around with her phone i would not want to run a port off of it. I like my phone better so I'll stick with the roms we have.:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
OK, I know this is just going to be another Google Wallet question in a sea of other Google Wallet question, but those other posts don't meet my criteria.

History: 1) I rooted my EVO LTE, but I didn't clear my Wallet before that. Does it matter? I didn't do anything else to the phone. I didn't try Wallet afterwards, but I was able to get into the app with no problem. 2) Before doing the DEV Unlock I did reset my Google Wallet through the app. That took a long long time, but it eventually finished. I did it twice to make sure. I then completed the DEV Unlock procedure which reset my phone. Afterwards, I went to initialize Google Wallet. It took a long long long time, and a few tries, but it finally did it. I then tried to add my existing Google prepaid card (with an existing balance), but it said that it was unable to contact the bank. I've been trying to add the Pre-paid card with no success. I eventually did a Google Wallet reset again through the app and rebooted to start from scratch. Now, I'm trying to initialize GW again, but it won't complete, it just sits there with the same message spinning and spinning. So far, no messages about the Secure Element and I have denied it Root.

Question: Am I borked? What do I do? Can I unroot? If I unroot, will GW come back alive? Do I DEV Relock to bring GW back alive? I praise since that my reasonable arguments will be heard!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
SLighty annoyed cuz you totally have not read the other threads even though you posted they don't meet ur criteria.... GOOGLE WALLET IS DOWN FOR THE EVO LTE FOR THE MOMENT, nothing you can do on your end is gonna fix it, there are at least 2 threads that have your exact title as theres, I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but you could pf posted in there hun, starting a new thread is just gonna give another place for ppl to ask more questions without finding answer, try to keep ur future question in the other thread plz :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
After I posted this I saw another thread that calmed my fears that everyone is getting this. Mods: Please close this thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Seems like the camera by default oversaturates everyting!

I found this on the Sprint community forums[/URL] so I thought I would share it as it made my pictures look a lot better :)

I don't have a good subject to show you what I mean, so I just took a picture of a picture from my LCD (Google images! Yay!)

Please post your own examples and tell me if you think it makes the pictures look better!

The original Sprint thread: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/90509?start=15&tstart=0

If you read that thread people are flipping out over this issue, but -1 Saturation seems to fix it for me :)

What do you guys think?

[EDIT: I moved the texts boxes as they were backwards! Left pic is -1 saturation; right pic is default! The chunks of the girl's shoulder in the text boxes is inverted!]
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Did this morning while I was comparing the pictures with my galaxy nexus, you just need to be careful some pictures will look like crap after this, one thing I hate is taking pics in the dark with this phone it doesn't focus like the nexus pictures look blurry, any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
I found that you can actually tap the screen on the subject you want to focus on and the phone will make a sound and focus accordingly to what you tapped...

Did you try that yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Thanks

In dark light conditions does work but doesn't turn on flash so is just focusing on the dark which ain't helpfull at all

Try to take over 10 pictures in the dark, and it sucks :(

Unlike the galaxy nexus in the first try
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] snick8467:
i found that it's better if i make sure the flash is on, rather than auto...

maybe a software fix will be in the works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
yeah set flash to ON

also select "Close up" instead of automatic and then tap the object
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
The main problem is that the display is oversaturated. Washing out the pictures you take won't help the display problem.

PS: That thread is about the display saturation, not the camera saturation. There are a couple of camera posts in it, but they are off-base.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
I just shot some test images of an X-Rite Digital Color Checker SG reference target.

I shot with 5500K lights and with just the camera's flash, with normal saturation and with the saturation turned down one click. I let the camera use automatic color balance, as there is no setting for my 5500K lights.

I then opened the images in PhotoShop 6 and took readings off the various color and grayscale patches.

With the saturation set normally, the images were slightly oversaturated, but not bad. The gray scales were very good on the whites, but as you get darker, they have a lot of green fall-off.

I think the camera shoots well enough. The green fall-off may be partly due to the automatic white balance trying to cope with my 5500K lights, but is is visible in the flash images too. It's not bad.

Taking one click of saturation out definitely ruins the images. It's far too much. If you could take out a tenth of a click, it would be pretty close to perfect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] husker91:
I havn't noticed any oversaturation of this display. The only place I notice it is in the camera app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Lol its a cell phone camera not a Canon 7D. I really think alot of people are starting to expect way too much from cell phone cameras lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
As I said above, I have tested the camera and it is fine. It's the best cell phone camera I have ever used or tested.

The display is not fine, but people keep confusing the display problem with a camera problem.

Since the OP quoted and referenced a display problem thread in this camera thread, I thought I would try to clear things up. The advice quoted by the OP is bad advice.

So again ... the camera is fine. Don't try to "fix" what's not broken.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psanchis:
IMO it's not the camera that saturates the pics it's the screen. When I tranfer my pictures on to my mac they look fine. If you browse pictures on Facebook with the phone you get the same oversaturation of color. Somene should work on a fix for the screen not the camera.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Yeah the display is a bit saturated but overall im satisfied with the display especially the viewing angles!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
While its obvuious that you know more about photography than I do, I tend to disagree slightly with your statement. When I mms pictures to others with phones including iPhone 4s, ET4G, and NS4G the oversaturation of pink hues is still present. In addition, I believe if this was solely an issue of the screen then this oversaturatuon would be present across the board and not isolated to photographs taken with the on-board camera.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Yeah, pictures of my hands and arms look all bright pink, even when I view them on my laptop or desktop or tablet. In reality my skin is olive-ish and certainly not bright pink.

I am no expert at screens or photos so I'm really not sure what is going on with the pics.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
The display oversaturation is constant, not just when using the camera. Watch some video on it.

The camera is a bit off, as I said above, but I think it's not bad.

Also, I have only tested my phone, I am sure there are some out there that are better and some that are worse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kindaskimpy:
I bought my EVO 4G LTE on Saturday and have been trying to set up my Google Wallet prepaid card since then but it keeps failing so I called them on Saturday night and they told me to try again in 24 hours. Needless to say, it didn't work.

I called them back today and was informed that provisioning of the prepaid card for the EVO 4G LTE has been turned off while a system glitch gets worked out. (The representative said it had to do with the OS on the phone). There's no ETA on when this will be fixed, he said, and encouraged me to call back "in a few days."

So if anyone is having this issue, now you know why.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
Give it a few days, too many people subscribing or signing in to the service at the same time, servers might be up to their knees with requests. As you can see from other posts the GW service has been off and on for the last few days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kindaskimpy:
Yeah, I figured as much but I saw that no one had been given a straight answer as to why around here when thy call Google/Money Network so I figured I'd pass on what they told me.

A few days won't kill us.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shepherdofthedamned:
Thanks for the info. Just tried and got the message. I had to do a power cycle to stop the activation that wasn't gonna happen. Just wondering if there is an easier way to stop it.....I couldn't figure one out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BamAlmighty:
You're not alone.

Been trying since I got my LTE on Saturday, as of now still doesn't work.

I did get this email from Google Wallet...

"Thank you for getting in touch with our team. We're aware that Google

Wallet payment cards are unavailable and our engineering team is working

hard to make sure Google Wallet is working as intended. We will be sure to

let you know when full functionality has resumed."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Maybe this has something to do with the bricking of the nfc component of the phone some of us have experienced?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spankmaster:
nothing to do with the secure element in the phone. I just got off the phone with money network and they have been made aware and told that there is an issue on THEIR end and the HTC evo LTE's specifically are unable to get through their system. He said that they havent been given and ETA on a fix but it is being worked on and repeated to me many times that it was a problem on Money networks end, and it had nothing to do with sprint, google wallet or our phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
i just spent the last hour trying and retrying google wallet and wondering why its not working so thanks very much OP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kindaskimpy:
You're welcome. That was me on Saturday and then earlier on today again. It was frustrating until I finally got an answer... I mean, sure, the answer was the equivalent to, "Patience, Clarice," but something is better than nothing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
Thanks. I feel better. I thought I borked my phone after rooting and unlocking it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Why do all these companies Suck at comunication. Google Wallet should have an announcment, so should money network, both those sites had nothing up about Google Wallet not working. The best info I got was from the forums. Is is that hard to put an announcement on the Google Wallet Help Page or the money now home page? GRRR!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starforce001:
Hi! Is there any ICS 4.0 ROMs for Samsung I9008L? It's a phone that I've recently bought in China and I realized that there are no official update for this phone as it's a China Mobile modified phone. :( If there isn't, is it possible for any pros to help make one? A search on Google shows that many users of this phone are asking for one too but to no avail, so I thought I'll ask on XDA since there are pros around. And, thanks in advance! :)

hi, so ive managed to relock the evo 3d successfully using 2.08...3 but am having some issues. first, superuser is still in my applications, and when I try to go into settings/manage apps the buttons to remove are shaded not allowing me to remove...second, my 3g works, but my 4g and wifi are not working. the only info I get on the phone is error starting...third, I tried to download the update from sprint and run it directly on my phone, but recovery just shows a triangle with an ! in it...when I press the vol up and power button I get the message "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command". However, Android system recovery does come up. when trying to do a system wipe from the recovery, the errors...

E:Cant open /data/cwpkg.zip

Data wipe complete

When trying to update from sd card I get invalid error oem..., then system reboots to start screen. Everything else is fine. I've tried to run various stock recoveries to no avail. Can someone please help me?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Why did you go back to the old old update ? Looks like your cdma . If you are I would use the 2.17 RUU exe everything should be working fine afterwards. Such as 4G and so on.
[HTC EVO 3D] jojo23460:
okay, ill go ahead and try that and see how it works
[HTC EVO 3D] jojo23460:
okay I got the odex 2.17 zip, renamed to PG86IMG adnd vol pwr to load...tried to flash the boot.img (that I previously extracted) in Ubuntu using fastboot and output

sending 'boot' (3622 KB)…

OKAY [ 1.308s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 1.769s

I don't know why im getting an error, and don't know if it flashed correctly. when I restart phone, it seems as though nothing happened, and I still have no wifi or 4 g...
[HTC EVO 3D] jojo23460:
oh also I tried running the .exe in windows but my device apparently isn't showing. that's why I was trying to go the .zip route. my device shows in ubuntu, but I cant yet figure out how to run .exe programs there...
[HTC EVO 3D] Sajijun:
Re:

what's your phone's specs:

hboot?

CDMA or GSM ?

locked or ulocked bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] jojo23460:
sprint

cdma

1.5

relocked with no security warnings

I can go between locked and unlocked quite easily if needed
[HTC EVO 3D] Sajijun:
RE:

So relock your bootloader , then download the suitable official rom ( RUU_... .exe ) open the setup and hold on the process at the step before flashing

open Start>RUN

type %temp%

at the folder opened search for the file "ROM.zip" file

rename it as PG86IMG.zip and put it at the root of your SD card

reboot in bootloader and after detecting the file and checking when prompted , press the UP Volume key to confirm update

after the process you have a clean and bugless rom :D

What if we don't have a linux computer? We can't use the method to relock it.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
RUU.exe's are only meant to run in Windows. You must first be in bootloader with "fastboot usb" on the screen to run them anyway.

Misunderstanding by OP. You can relock your bootloader in cmd. fastboot oem lock
[HTC One S] pir8man:
I am helping a close friend out with their new HTC One S. They really like the stock TMobile US Rom but complain about battery, and performance. I would like to know if there is a customized rom that is close to the TMo stock rom. Optimizations for performance, stability, and battery are all that is really wanted. Sense, with stock TMo bloat is just fine, and no theming.

Noble Series ROM seems to be the closest to my request, but it's a discontinued project with no download links.

Next closest appears to be TrickDroid, but the customizations removed some stock apps and changed some features that are missed.

I tried searching for roms to find one, but the descriptions are severly lacking. If it were my phone, I would just load new ROMs till I found one I liked, but it's for a friend and I can't get a hold of their phone long enough to do all that.

thanks guys!
[HTC One S] doktortaru:
Zydroid
[HTC One S] x1tyme:
Before this post get move to Q&A..

I'm running TrickDroid v3.0, which is stock rom. You can flash tweaks afterward if you like.

What are the features your friend looking for?

Another rom you can look into is Zydroid 2.0 similar to TrickDroid, but a little different in my opinion.

Battery is great on both..
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Wrong section bud, try general or Q&A. My choice goes with TrickDroid, best for performance and battery and has TMOBUS version. You can use LeeDroid (I prefer much more) as it works extremely well on my TMOBUS device.

I remember back in the old days on my old device, people who posted in the wrong section got banned! This guy gets off easy :P
[HTC One S] pir8man:
i apologize for posing to the wrong forum. I assumed as I was asking about a custom rom, that it was for dev area.

Mod's feel free to move this to Q/A.

Zydroid clearly states that it removed the bloatware.

TrickDroid does not state this, but it is removed.

We'd like to keep the stock apps if possible.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
With TrickDroid, I know you get all regular apps EXCEPT the bloat **** T-Mobile puts on the device (why would anyone want this worthless crap anyways?). You still get all HTC Sense stuff and common Android apps (Play, music, Beats, browser, blah blah blah...). Same goes for LeeDroid.
[HTC One S] pir8man:
anyone know what the diffs are between zydroid and trickdroid? ...... leedroid appears heavily themed. I dont care for or want theme changes.

both are based on stock w/sense. the appear competitive on tweaks. both have the stock TMO apps removed. :(
[HTC One S] NRGZ28:
I'm about to release one as I've just got a One S in my hands :) It'll be good...
[HTC One S] Aydthird:
I've tried both trickdroid and zydroid, but not yet touched leedroid as it seems more of a international version. also now that you mention about the extra theme that kinda seems like a turn off to me.

So far although both are great roms I personally prefer zydroid's version, seems smooth, to the point and intended more for tmo user as it was created by a tmo user (granted trickdroid does have a tmo version, it was created by someone who is not using tmo). as far as the extra apps u get from tmo well... yes they both take them off but if there is any that you did want you can go back to the playstore and download them again for free

Hope that helps ;)
[HTC One S] pir8man:
great post! that actually helps a lot.
[HTC One S] mantiis:
AWWWWWW shiiiiii

NRG!! Now I don't feel so bad sticking with HOS. I've been using energy since my Touch Pro 2 days. Loved the ROMs!

Can't wait for Energy on HOS :) :)

PS: Maybe you can figure out why the damn volume fluctuates when you plug in headphones from music to apps.

(For instance, I'm listening to music plugged in AUX to my car and then if it switches to Voxer or Phone, its super low(even at full vol), then it goes back to full volume with music) Very annoying.)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I'd definitely give zydroid ago, Zylith is a great guy and has some excellent responses with his ROM :)
[HTC One S] Aydthird:
Let us know when you get her done... I wouldn't mind taking a peek

Glad I can help, I'm still somewhat new to the android world trying to learn, Getting there tho!!

I maybe mistaken but from what I have read, the guys from trickdroid and zydroid are chatting on helping each other out for their next project. Can't wait to see how that turns out!
