[General Questions and Answers] m3tal4fi5h:
I have had so many isssues with this phone.

Last night actually, I had a similar problem.

I had to format my sd card (don't forget to back it up) and then restore the phone to stock firmware.

Then I rooted the phone again (a file called sk4g with good recovery).

Redownloaded rom manager.

Flashed clockwork recovery.

Rebooted into restore.

Reinstalled packages.

Seems to be working fine now.

All the files you need are in the sidekick forums on this page.

This is possibly the best website I have come across.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to root my phone on a Mac, but it doesn't seem to be working. I do all of the commands in Terminal, and the daemon starts running, but it just gets stuck. Fastboot is unchecked and USB debugging is on. I'm also set to "Charge Only". Any idea? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jabawockee:
Are you using Zedomax's tutorial? It was very easy for me and I did it on Lion 10.7.4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
yes i am. i am also doing it on lion. the daemon starts, but it doesnt begin rooting

Did you follow ALL these steps? Count em, there's 3. It sounds like the permissions didn't take.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Yup I did that. everything is working except that rooting doesn't start. (only the daemon does)

If you try adb devices does it find your phone? I would suggested trying to root after a fresh shutdown and power back on. Also try a different USB port.

still a no go. im doing this on my macbook, but should i try it on an imac?

Doesn't hurt to try on another computer, but are you getting any positive result when doing the ADB Devices???? That can help us troubleshoot with you.

you tried to install CM7 on ICS!! Don't think this is possible... (e.g. your current predicament)

you should try CM9, custom ICS -=or=- MIUI v4 etc.

[HTC One V] haulring:
Hi

I recently shifted to the ADW launcher because of the unsightly HTC sense dock at the bottom of the screen. But then I am unable to access HTC sense widgets, like the music widget for example. I am aware that I have the option of getting a Pure Music kinda app to solve this problem. But I just wanted to know if there is any way of moving around the HTC Music Widget apk file (or any other file for that matter) so that it is activated in ADW?

I have seen the same (similar) question across a lot of different forums and the answer has always been "NO". But hope springs eternal:)

Thanks
[HTC One V] paarthdesai:
ucannot have sense widget's if u move onto another launcher
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
You can't add sense widgets in another launcher, but may i ask you why do you use adw launcher instead of nova launcher or spex launcher? Adw launcher is so old, is made for gingerbread and froyo. Nova and apex are made only for ICS.
[HTC One V] haulring:
I guess I just grew comfortable with ADW over the years. Thanks for the suggestion, I shall try out nova / spex.
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
The result with Nova and Spex will be the same. HTC widgets work with the supplied HTC launcher only.
[HTC One V] haulring:
yeah that's true. But I don't understand why they have to be so microsoftishly possessive that it limits the users customisation needs. The lockscreen for example, I personally find their renowned "ring" quite blingy and there seems to be no way to edit it. So if i install MIUI locker to customise the lockscreen I occassionally have to deal with two lockscreens - first the HTC ring and then whatever else I have set. C'est la vie!
[HTC One V] sumairmh:
You cannot add sense widgets to adw but do not worry, use apw widgets, these look very similar to sense widgets...

Well as close as you can get without being sued by HTC ofcourse...

When going ICS->GB you need to use the full (data wipe) ODIN OC package as there are known issues when you switch back. On a side note I generally recommend this even between ICS builds as I've had problems after a few nodata updates.

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/18589-CyanogenMod-9-[UNOFFICIAL]-[Beta]-(4/24)
[Droid X General] s_cuttic:
Thanks. That's where I got all my info before I switched to CM9. After week of using it, I'm switching back to stock. The main reason is because the battery life sucks even with all syncing off and touch sounds and a few other things done to try to conserve battery.

My battery was at 40% when I left work yesterday with only light Facebook and web browsing.

Also some apps not working very good on it is another reason I'm switching back.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
ICS roms haven't been perfected yet, but if your looking for a good user experience with decent battery life, you should try DefX MIUI.
[Droid X General] gregorovitch:
yeah, wizard's MIUI has been the best for awhile now in terms of great battery life and full functionality. i've tried the ICS roms out there for the droidx but battery life was abysmal. i like having the latest android system but not if you have to trade great battery life for poor battery life.
[Droid X General] only1battman:
I am running cm9 with a build date of April 24th (build number: IMM76D).

And i love it. It is super fast. the only complaint i have is that when long pressing home to get to the recent apps list it takes about 1-2 secs. Other than that its great. everything works except video (sometimes) and panoramic shots. the battery life isnt too bad. but i have had bad battery problems for a while.

*#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:

Google account settings stored in your phone

System and application data and settings

Downloaded applications

It'll NOT remove:

Current system software and bundled applications

SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

PS: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.

*2767*3855#

Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.

PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.

WARNING: Never use the first option otherwise your phone camera will stop working and you'll need to take your phone to service center to reinstall camera firmware.

*#*#7594#*#*

This one is my favorite one. This code can be used to change the "End Call / Power" button action in your phone. Be default, if you long press the button, it shows a screen asking you to select any option from Silent mode, Airplane mode and Power off.

You can change this action using this code. You can enable direct power off on this button so you don't need to waste your time in selecting the option.

*#*#273283*255*663282*#*#*

This code opens a File copy screen where you can backup your media files e.g. Images, Sound, Video and Voice memo.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There can be multiple possible reasons. You've eliminated some of them. Could be a failing usb port on the phone, bad cable, etc.

If you can't get usb to work, you can flash back to stock using mobile odin. I assume you are rooted. Just download the one-click downloader to your phone over wifi, or use dropbox or something to get it onto your phone. Mobile odin will recognize and flash from the one-click downloader. There is even a guide in the general section on how to do this.

I returned to stock, and I think I figured out the problem as well.

The problem I am quite sure is the USB port on the phone. Like I said, when I keep the USB cable connected at a certain angle, it works just fine.

I will just have to live with it now I think because ODIN displays custom binary installed and the count is 2, so I dont think ATT will let me exchange the phone for a new one.

I had the very same issue as you are describing.

All you need to do is tweak the USB port a little. Did mine about 3 or 4 months ago and have not had to touch it since.

Use a small precision screw driver, fold a couple layers of Kleenex over the tip and gently bend it towards the screen side of the phone.

It WILL work perfect after that. :D

even i have this issue, wanna know if all sgs3 panels are like this !!
[Galaxy S III General] DarkRyoushii:
Oh I see thanks for the clarification :)

My Galaxy S II had this issue really really badly, to the point where the keyboard and statusbar were lightly burned into the display. Keyboard was temporary but statusbar burn was permanent.

Galaxy Nexus had it a little better, only one very obvious black spot on one of the on screen navigation buttons (which were always black making it more noticeable)

Galaxy S III hardly has it at all! Was planning on taking it back to the carrier (first phone I've got on contract in 12 months) if I noticed the issue badly, but since it's so little (only a few tiny dots) then I'm going to keep this one :P
