[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Did you have to pay for your Razr? I've been getting the static squeal about 40% of the time.

They offered me the Razr, but as an upgrade only w/a 2 year extension. I told them to stuff it.

Should I call customer retention?

I am sick of crappy phones. (2 LG Revolutions that bricked themselves while charging overnight, refurb charge that had a self destruction of the micro USB port, and now the charge that thinks it's a fax machine.).

The rep admitted it's a known issue with the Charge.

Would I fare better in a store? If so that means I have to go back to stock FP1, & get rid of Tweaked 2.1 which is running fine.

I want to get this done before the 28th, so I don't lose my unlimited data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Sorry had to lmao on that one. I had a LG optimus s that bricked when my wife factory reset through privacy settings while rooted. Back to topic.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
Same thing happened to me:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
I called back and the new rep was able to send a CLN Rezound as a replacement. They were out of the standard back, so he upgraded it to the extended battery and back. No headphones however.

So I guess I'll be saying goodbye to you all soon.

The charge was a phone with a lot of promise, but too many problems. Next step, to get my GF off the Stratosphere (which has a worse static/noise problem than us.).
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
Glad it worked, it was a replacement no upgrade. Though I powdered to paya little for the maxx. Actually though they sent me a bionic instead with no battery or back even though they promised a razr. Called back rep was no help, said out was closer to the charge.so I went to the store to get the back and was trying to an extended battery at least. Instead the manager surprised me by coming our and saying he ordered me the razr! Hope its right this time,i need better signal for work
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xXOo Axel oOXx:
so i noticed the other day when i got up that my phone was on, i remembered turning it off before i went to sleep but guessed i was wrong. So today i had let my phone die ( after it had been on for 31hrs) and i put it on charge.... well after the phone was charging for awhile i seen it turn on by its self and once it was loaded i looked to see how much it had charged and it was only at 63%..... is this normal or could it be the ROM making it do this?:confused: It didnt do this while i was on stock and its only done it after i flashed 2.6
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xXOo Axel oOXx:
?? i guess im the only one!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sm625614:
Have this problem too. Dosnt really bother me much as my phone is ready to go when i wake up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nespid:
I've noticed this on a number of Android phones I've owned, and I know it sounds insane, but I've wondered if it's some sort of signal sent from your carrier that accidentally "wakes" your phone?

So after a couple months of development and improvement, how are the Sense 4.0 ROMS running for everybody? At first, I heard news of bugs and features not working, but what are your experiences with the ROMS? Can anybody tell me how battery life and performance are changed from Sense 3.6 ROMS? Thank you .
[HTC Sensation] ChobbyNS:
For me sense 4 is workin like a charm,im using ordroid 8.2.0,i didnt find anything not workin for me,but battery life compared to virtuos inquistion is pretty much worse,that i can confirm.

But with my anker i get through whole day without problem.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Working fine. Better battery life than Sense 3.6 for me and better performance in some places.
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
It works fine but if you compare it let's say arhd it does have done lag specially when making transitions but overall it's great I prefer it over sense 3.6
[HTC Sensation] Dafydd1994:
I think sense 4.0 roms are awesome, great battery life and performance and massive aray of tweaks. Only bugs left are hdmi out and wi-fi tether
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
My sense 4 Rom is Ordroid 9.0.0, It's running wonderfully. The battery life is awesome , the tweaks and customization are awesome, very smooth , fast,

Very nice. Only one problem and that's tethering . I really miss being able to tether but not enough to install a different Rom. I've tried out several different sense 4 Roms but find myself going back to Ordroid . In my opinion nothing yet compares to it! I've not yet had one problem (other than tethering) its really a smooth Rom. I hope this helps some. It's really a very personal decision , and what fits your style and taste the best. But as for having sense 4 problems , not at all! It's been perfect! You really should try it out , I think you will be surprised at how smooth and fast it is! Also you will love the customization ability! I know I do! I think you will really love sense 4. Hope this helps out some and good luck in whatever you decide. :D

Just find the proper RUU for your (region and carrier related) and run it from your PC.

[Desire General] bortak:
Can't roll back Android version with a RUU. Stop giving out false information, it could lead to someone bricking their phone because of you.

OP. You need to first S-OFF with revolutionary. Then flash the downgrader from alpharev. Then flash either a RUU for your network provider, or the WWE RUU (however you need a goldcard if you want to use the WWE RUU as it de-brands your phone).

If you need help on how to use revolutionary, or flash the downgrader then look at my guide.

For revolutionary look at "S-OFF'ing problems" and for flashing the downgrader look at "flashing HBOOT/SPL"
[Desire General] nlooooo:
I did a rollback with 2.2 RUU over alpharev stock hboot (locked) and all worked perfectly.

Never ment to cause problems to anybody just saying from my experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sulemani1:
Hi all,

I need help here. My phone (with stock Android 2.3.6) does not upgrade through OTA and therefore I only rely on Kies.

Kies says that there is a firmware upgrade available, but when I start the upgrade process, it stops (mostly between 13 to 15%... only once it went to 65%) and then it stops and says:

"Failed to run firmware upgrade, Unknown error occurred"

I upgraded the Kies to least version already. So please help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcaballero:
you must have a reliable internet connection to update through Kies. If Kies fail just download an ICS ROM and upgrade via PC Odin.

And most importantly read around the threads before doing anything, the search function is your friend, it helps to be informed before jumping into something you are not familiar with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sulemani1:
Thanks rcaballero,

As you rightly said I would not do anything without understanding it first. I am not familiar with pc odin yet and am afraid to use it at the moment.

My internet connection is fine. I have rather tried it on 2 different internet connections till now but still no luck :-(

By the way my Kies is showing that my firmware now is: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LA4 / CSC:LA1 (PAK)

and new firmware available is: PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP7 (PAK)

If I go for download from sammobile, should I search for the same firmware or any newer ICS ROM will work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcaballero:
you could look for the same or use any other if you cannot find it, I've tried flashing ICS ROMs for India, Poland and Philippines not much of a difference.

Just stick to what's best for you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigbossjd:
I've been flashing roms a while now but have not encountered this problem. I can only flash roms with odin because i am not rooted, and i cannot root my phone. I am stuck on XWLPD kernel, no matter what kernel i install it never changes, why's that? Whichever ics rom i install the kernel never changes and stays XWLPD. I tried to root that so i could install a custom rom but then i get the yellow triangle and reboot and no superuser, no cmw manager and no root permissions, and kernel remains the same. I cannot downgrade to GB either as it just gets black screen after odin download mode and stays hot. I've searched through these forums for all sorts of solutions but to no avail, thus making this thread. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Could you state what you exactly did to change the kernel? And also you should have posted on the Q and A section :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigbossjd:
My bad. I should have. I came off from the Vk rom when everything was fine, and i decided to go back to a non custom rom so i used odin to install one of the released 4.0.3 roms which had the XWLPD kernel. After that, i couldn't root anymore, ater installing the cf root for the respective kernel i see the yellow triangle like all's well but when the phone boots up it isn't rooted. So then i tried installing another official rom XWLPF, installs and works fine, but kernel remains XWLPD, and it's like that for any other rom now. Going back to GB just shows black screen after the samsung sign.

Basically, i just can't install cf root anymore. Or change kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
After installing cf-root. Have you tried going to recovery and flash another custom kernel like siyah?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aurelll26:
In doubt you could always flash back the recovery image from cyanogenmod wiki, and flash cm7 after. That way you're sure to get a fresh start and everything should work fine after!

It had a problem with my phone and this was the easiest way out.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigbossjd:
Thank you

Thanks guys. I managed to find a work around this rather unusual problem. I installed cmw from external storage, along with root, and changed rom from there. I couldn't change kernel, but atleast i changed roms. So i can live with that. Again, thanks.

I'm trying to decide to upgrade right now (pre-order) with the S3, or wait until fall for the rumored Galaxy Note Competitor from HTC.

Samsung GS3:

Dual-Core Krait Processor

2GB of RAM??

4.8 inch Pentile Super AMOLED display (720p)

HTC Memo (Like the name?):

Quad-Core Krait Processor

Adreno 320 GPU

1080p Non-Pentile Display

The only downside i see to the HTC one would be that I'd lose grandfathered unlimited data, so that's something to consider.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
The battery cover seems to be a potential weakspot on the phoen from reviews ive seen. Although that opinion has been mixed.

I saw these though andthought id share. I dont like using cases on my phones so thought some people might enjoy this also.

I bought a sleeve but I am also thinking about one of these just to sturdy up the battery cover. It comes with a front screen protector too!

anyone dealt with these before? ive only seem limited reviews. any input appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] RoadXY:
Is real carbon fibre?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
Not real for that price, if it is then that's a great deal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
real carbon fiber would be too rigid.

it does seem to be more rigid than a sticker, though.

the application video suggests using a hair dryer to apply it to corners and palces where the material must bend.

Id only put it on the battery cover, not anyhwere else. The contrast of my marble front, the silver on the sides and the black on the back will look cool i think.

heres a link to an example. This user used 3M stuff though.

I've done this with MANY devices, even used white carbon on my girlfriend's Captivate, and recommend using 3M Di-Noc over ANY of those gimmicky skins.... Even though the Di-Noc is much harder to go around complex curves, it holds up better than the 3M 1080 version, which is thinner and therefore more flexible, but also includes a glossier finish with a smaller carbon fiber weave.... 1080 trumps Skinomi, et al., so buy in bulk from eBay or wherever, and you'll get much more use out of it than just getting one skin that looks terrible and doesn't compare to real carbon fiber at all!

My 2 cents as someone who's been in the vinyl graphics industry for 10 years.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RMXO:
^^ To each their own

I have a few products that have Skinomi's Carbon Series on them & they look great, corners suck a little but that was known.

Quick & painless
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
I went to autozone today to look for some of the stuff you suggested or similiar but they didnt have any.

i appreciate the advice but these skins already come cut to fit and with the holes in it. I went ahead and ordered one. They have free shipping and and the carbon fiber skin comes with a front glass cover. I wanted one anyway so its kinda two birds with one stone.

Ill post up impressions but itll be in july when verizon finally ships. I have a pile of phone accessories already for a phoen i dont even have yet lol

edit: Forgot to add - if you use the discount code "skinomi25" you get 25% off.

I ordered the carbon fiber package and it came to 14.98 with free shipping to US and canada
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RMXO:
carbon fiber skins are totally worth it but the screen protector sucks cuz it has the rubbery feeling. To each their own though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
yeah ive never used a screen protector on any of my phones. I probably wont use this one either but it saves a few bucks if i decide to.

can you post some pictures of your skins on your devices???

but it looks nice though. Ahh there are already so many things that I wanna buy before my device comes ! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
I got my order in the other day just posting smoe initial intial thoughts (no SGS3 yet, damn vzw)

anyways the skin came attached to a adhesive backing that has 3M logo on it. So perhaps its the same material about psoted above. any way to tell?

it came with a wet application screen protector and all the goods to apply it.

it looks liek the right cut. im excited to try itout when my device is finally delivered.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rwmsrobertw:
Hi, all.

I setup my 16 Gb Nook Tablet to boot from a Cyanogenmod 7 SD card following directions that I found online somewhere about two weeks ago. It was a great process and I love my new real Android tablet. Thank you, developers!

I've been trying since this weekend to install a hello world app on my Nook. Although I see the Nook and the SD card in Device Manager when the device is plugged into the USB port of my Windows 7 laptop, I do not see it as an Android device anywhere. I would like to debug on the device from Eclipse, but Eclipse does not see the tablet (in Android Device Chooser when the Nook is plugged into the USB port). I also do not see any devices listed when I run adb devices in a cmd tool.

The one thing I have not done that I think I need to is to install an updated USB driver for the Nook. I have not had any luck finding a driver with an install script.

Can anyone point me to the drivers or a page with clear instuctions on how to get and install them? Is there anything else I need to do to see the Nook as an Android device in the adb device command and in Eclipse?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Robert

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mt6272:
My USB connector is broken on my nexus. Amazon has sent me a replacement, which I have at hand. I would like to lock my boot loader on my nexus with the broken USB connector before sending it back to amazon.

Any thoughts as to how I may accomplish this?

If not, can you at the least convince me amazon won't care that my boot loader is unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
EDIT: Never mind, it seems the awesome developers have figured out ways to relock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aperture.ezekeel.gladoscontrol

Potentially.

MAYBE.

Just Maybe you can re-lock with this.

I'm not sure if it requires SU or not.

And I haven't given anyone this advice yet, so you'll be the first.

But as the above poster said...

Mobile Odin first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure if Amazon will even care if it is locked or not.

Thanks to AdamOutler and a few others, you can re-lock the bootloader without being plugging into a computer, but root (and busybox) is required.

Download the attachment from this post, and extract the files to the root of /sdcard. Then open a terminal emulator on your device and type the following commands:

su

dd if=/sdcard/param.lock of=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/param

That should re-lock your bootloader.

Now you need to make sure you are running a stock ROM and stock recovery.

Once that is done, you can then remove busybox, and finally, you can delete /system/app/Superuser.apk and su.

EDIT: For those that are curious, to unlock your bootloader without wiping, replace the command above with this:

su

dd if=/sdcard/param.unlock of=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/param
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Awesome efrant, thank you.

I'll reference to this later if need be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
couldnt you take it a step further?

doesnt mobile odin work properly even if the bootloader is locked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, he could use mobile odin to flash to stock (and thus, no need to remove custom recovery, root, etc.), but mobile odin will not re-lock his bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
ah i figured you could still use mobile odin to restore to stock with the bootloader already locked when you first run it.

ive never used it so i guess i didnt understand completely what it did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, you're right. You CAN use mobile odin with a bootloader already locked. However, you need root to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
so you could then change the param file, which locks the bootloader, then use mobile odin to go back to 100% stock and still have a locked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. That's what I was trying to say in my earlier post, but I guess it wasn't clear. Mobile Odin will not change the lock state of the bootloader, but will work in either a locked state or an unlocked state, assuming you have root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mt6272:
More details on my phone: It is rooted, running aokp m5 & franco m3. It sounds like there is a solution to my problem contained within this thread - however, things are a bit hazy to me when it comes to what order to perform these operations and which apps to use when.

My thanks to the first person who compiles a step-by-step (albeit brief and concise) guide to unrooting, re-locking the bootloader, and restoring to stock WITHOUT being connected to the computer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubik.j:
I don't know how you have broken USB, but my friend had it broken - it didn't want to charge longer than few seconds, connection to PC was extremely inconsistent...

Samsung told him that it happens on SGNs sometimes and that it is caused by oxidation of USB. It isn't covered by warranty.

But he solved it very simply - you can clean the USB by soft toothbrush and it works like a charm again. Hope this helps you.
