[HTC Incredible S] Carlosdsv:
Hi! how could I recognize wich is my device in the list? i mean, I have the Incredible S, but i dont know wich one is it.. there are a ton of devices in the list like WWE, Asian WWE, TUR, Arabic...

I hope you guys could tell me a way to identify the region of my device. I bought it from amazon since I am not from Venezuela.

I want to unlock it the easy way couse Im not an expert in this stuff :p

Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Just pick any Incredible S in the list. It really doesn't matter. As part of the unlock procedure you will send a token generated by your device and that will identify your device correctly.
[HTC Incredible S] Carlosdsv:
thank you!! do you recommend me to do something before trying to unlock it? or is there any other method better to do it?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You will be better off in the long run by using the Downgrade script documented in one the sticky posts in this forum to gain true S-OFF using Revolutionary in my opinion than the HTCDEV unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ul49:
Overall, really loving this phone, but there are some things that continually frustrate me:

-no 'favorites' tab on the phone app. Favorites exist under groups, but for some reason you can't put the favorites down on the menu to make quick calls easier.

-uploading photos to facebook using 'facebook for htc sense' often freeze part-way through, even with good wifi connection.

-Often times when I delete emails on the gmail app they still appear in my inbox when I view gmail on my computer. Also can't seem to make gmail automatically update upon opening.

-CALENDAR NOTIFICATIONS: Even when I turned off the facebook calendar sync so I wouldn't get 20 birthday reminders every day, the notifications still won't go away. Anything I put in the calendar pops up on the lock screen every single time, even the day before sometimes. Should I use a different calendar app? I like using the 'productivity' lock screen, but this "feature" is killing me.

I have been wary of rooting since I wanted to maintain my warranty, but some of these issues - plus the terrible multitasking - are really tempting me to do it.

Does anyone know of any fixes for these problems?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcg:
Short of dumping the One X and buying a new phone, waiting for official releases is the only way.

Otherwise, root and bootloader unlock is the way to go. Did so to mine and don't regret it. I have plenty of faith in the development of custom ROMs for this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ul49:
if you don't mind, what did you do with root and bootloader unlock? This is my first android and I'm not sure what I could accomplish with that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcg:
I flashed KingCobra on it.

I tried Cyanogenmod 9 for the AOSP experience but there are some bugs I can't seem to get rid of in order to use it, so I'm sticking with KC.

Overall, you get rid of bloatware, and can have more of the "stock android" experience. As of right now, at least... when AOKP, CM9 and other AOSP-based roms are out in full gear, you'll have more choice as to what you prefer. I'm really hoping that time will be soon.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
Rooting your phone along with unlocking the boot loader allows you to run custom roms. Most roms out now get rid of most of the issues you are running in to. That's the simplified version...look around on the developer section and you will find the information on how to go about rooting and unlocking. Good luck...awesome phone!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunter-Eastland:
Hi I recently got my verizon galaxy nexus, and really don't like cases but I would like your personal opinions on screen protectors( witch brands or models you like or dislike) lastly what do you prefer wet or dry install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
really? another one of this threads.

This is getting ridiculous. You really should search a little. There is like 50 of them in the accessories and in general. But the cheap eBay ones are fine and feel better then zagg or xo and don't have the Orange peel effect. Do not get the Verizon ones unless you can't wait. The screen will scratch easier then gorilla glass phones. I know from experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afma_afma:
actually the verizon screen protectors are not that bad....I have one on my nexus and there is not a single scratch on it...it is non tacky and feels smooth ......and I have had it on from Dec 2011 until today...check out the pics.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
I have it on as well. The clear ones and it is good but also has a orange peel look to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
XO is a very good and popular screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nav200:
Try the realook screen protectors. I just received them yesterday and they're great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:

I have tried xoskins and enjoyed them; but I seem to find myself going back all the time to bestskinsever.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
none to be honest. but if i had to pick one it would be xoskins
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
Realook would be my first choice if I wanted to splurge for the perfect fit/cutout. Haven't actually tried it for the Galaxy Nexus but it was THE BEST screen protector I'd used for my Galaxy S II.

Aduro MEMBRANE would be a very close second for cheapest and best bang for your buck. Plus you get 3x!

I tried xoskins and it's too rubbery/bubbly/not as clear! I don't know how you guys like it. Try the Audro for cheap and it feels SOOOOO much better.

$5.95, free shipping and you get 3x. That's less than $2 each!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
You must not have waited for it to dry. I have been using XO Skins for a long time. I value quality over quantity ever time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
dont use screen protectors, ruins image quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I'm 100% sure you didn't wait long enough for it to dry.

It should appear as if there's no protector at all. The texture is slightly less smooth than naked screen but it's nowhere near rubbery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breezer23:
The Aduro's are pretty decent but I find the adhesive to be extremely inconsistent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tragik74:
depends on how u carry your phone..

in pouch... no screen protector or case

in hand... case with anti slip

in pocket.. screen protector and or case

I finally settled on the Martin Fields. It's a dry application that goes edge to edge. Some people say that the edges lift over time but it's been a month and mine haven't lifted one bit. The wet application skins have a terrible feel to it and kill image quality IMO and the other dry applications don't go to the edges of the screen.

BSE (Best skins ever). If applied properly it looks and feels amazing. You can only see it when the screen is off and in direct light but unnoticeable when display is on.

[General Questions and Answers] Sad Keanu:
Got a Samsung Epic 4g with gingerbread. I downloaded this file "update-cm-9-20120606-SNAPSHOT-epicmtd-beta4-sig" on my computer and put it in the included micro sd card(I have to unmount sd card then put it in my pc). I then tried to install the CM9 file, it loads about a quarter of the bar then gives my an error message "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". Did I do anything wrong? I followed QBKING77's instructions and "Cyanogenmod Epic 4G: CM9 Install Guide" instructions but kept getting the same message. I thought it was just a corrupted file so I downloaded it 3 more times and failed 3 times as well. Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. I've searched here and google for any solutions but couldn't find any.
[General Questions and Answers] ChaseMDuffin:
I too am having this issue on my One S on t-mobile while trying to apply their latest update. It may be an issue with the verification that the package looks for before install that clockwork cannot give because it is in the way of the Android bootloader. Or maybe I don't understand clockwork properly. The latter is more likely. If anyone could provide assistance, that would be excellent ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbeelzebub:
Hello, do any of you use this app?

It seems no matter what widget I try, they don't look how they are supposed to on the GT 10.1. I have fumbled through the settings, etc... not seeing anything that might fix it.

I'm at a loss.

For example: Text not appearing with the rest of the widget, graphics separated instead of overlapping, etc.

Any tips? Thanks! :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] lexusmike:
Try using a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, then try to find the right homescreen grid size that gives you the desired look. Also remember that the widget will look different in landscape mode then it will in portrait. Fancy widgets is one of those that looks great on phones but not so great on tablets. I think the developer of the app needs to optimize it a bit more for tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbeelzebub:
Thanks! I'll try out some different launchers.

I got so used to the stock one that I hadn't even bothered to try a different one on my tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
My wife encrypted her phone without doing much research on what it actually does. Now she wants it decrypted, but I can't figure out how to go about doing that. I keep reading do a "hard factory reset" and that works. I've tried wiping from recovery and it fails to mount, I've tried wiping from within Settings>Backup/reset and it just reboots and is still encrypted. Is there another way to wipe and reset the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The warning you get prior to encrypting your phone says that a factory reset is the only way to remove it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
And the post that you quoted prior to posting said I tried that. All that does is cause a reboot, it stays encrypted. Unless I'm missing some other way of factory reseting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chance Ill:
Try wipe via ADB.

adb shell

format SYSTEM:

format DATA:

format CACHE:

Unmount SYSTEM DATA, CACHE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
If that failed you should go this way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
After I adb shell and run 'format SYSTEM' it just comes back with this:

root@android:/ # format SYSTEM
format SYSTEM
/system/bin/sh: format: not found

Format isn't a normal command. Or should I have done that in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
unlock the bootloader and then lock it again. This will wipe /data and /data/media (i.e. the "sd card") which are the only partitions which are encrypted anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
locking/unlocking it again will delete everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
I don't think that will work if it's a Google Play Store model (?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
Thanks for all the quick responses. XDA always comes through. Lock/Unlock did the trick. I would have never thought locking the device again would just be as easy as 'fastboot oem lock'. Btw, it is a Verizon model "toro" so I don't know if it would work on a Play Store model. Thanks again everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dxharmon:
Would you mind giving me the steps you used, I encrypted my phone and cannot do a factory reset, hoping locking will help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krige:
I am having your same problem. Could you explain in details what you did to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
I used fastboot to lock the bootloader again then unlock it. This completely wipes the phone of everything, including the encryption. Do you have adb setup? That would be a the first step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krige:
Thanks. In the end I managed simply by performing a Back to stock -> Flash Stock + Unroot with Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
That more than likely does the same thing I suggested. I tend to avoid the toolkits because I like to know exactly what is going on and how to do it. I'm also a system administrator so I like having working knowledge of things like that. :) Good to hear you found something that worked though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fking1:
How do you lock/unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
oh come on

Do you people even think of searching or reading a few posts back???

http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html

Unlocking the bootloader
It's only possible to flash a custom system if the bootloader allows it.

The bootloader is locked by default. With the device in fastboot mode, the bootloader is unlocked with

$ fastboot oem unlock
The procedure must be confirmed on-screen, and deletes the user data for privacy reasons. It only needs to be run once.

All data on the phone is erased, i.e. both the applications' private data and the shared data that is accessible over USB, including photos and movies. Be sure to make a backup of any precious files you have before unlocking the bootloader.

On Nexus 10, after unlocking the bootloader, the internal storage is left unformatted and must be formatted with

$ fastboot format cache
$ fastboot format userdata
The bootloader can be locked back with

$ fastboot oem lock

And if you all actually think about it:

- unlocking the bootloader wipes user data, aka /sdcard/

- unlocking the bootloader gets rid of encryption

instead of relocking, just

fastboot format userdata

will wipe encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fking1:
thanks but i'm quite unexperienced in this

i suppose i write

"fastboot format userdata" in the console

but in what mode should the phone be?

if it's powered on i see it under adb devices

but not under fastboot devices

fi it's in volume down and power button mode, i don't see it under either?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
It needs to be in the bootloader to use fastboot commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fking1:
for some reason in recovery mode "fastboot devices" doesn't return anything either :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] My Gnexi:
Are you in recovery? fastboot command is not supposed to work there. You should be in the bootloader, that's the menu that has green android open.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fking1:
bootloader is the menu where i can start the recovery mode right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] My Gnexi:
Yes it is and I just gave you a picture of how it looks like. Bootloader mode is also called fastboot mode and it writes FASTBOOT MODE in red it makes sense that fastboot commands are used on that screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faizan430:
If your phone has ClockworkMod recovery then you have to first flash a Stock recovery using fastboot and then perform wipe. it will fix your problem. Only stock recovery can handle encryption and decryption.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nero's:
Was running the ICS leak...everything was fine.

Decided to try ICS cm9 and got it up and running but did not like it do to some bugs I was experiencing I wont go into detail here.

SOOOO I booted into stock recovery and flashed the ICS leak after wiping data/cache. I got an abort error status 7. At this point I just figure I woyl FXZ back to .902, OTA to .905 and re-install ICS...

As I sit right now I am stuck at the dual core logo for about 15 mintues after an attempt to FXZ back to .902. The FXZ process completed with 0 errors and the phone went into reboot but just sits on the dual core logo...I have attempted process twice. not sure what to do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nero's:
Fixed it

So after continually trying the one click path-saver script (as if it would magically work all of a sudden) I used RSD lite with the same file from the path-saver method and it worked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AustinS:
Where can I find the path saver script?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nero's:
All of the links that I had for the script and the f x z files have been removed. I was just lucky enough to have downloaded the f x z file before most of the links had been taken down. and you need to use rsd lite if you are stuck at dual core screen

Hi Guys

I purchased an Xperia U yesterday and when I took it home and played around with it I found a major flaw with the camera flash.

Basically any time I take a photo with flash the photo comes out as fully washed out / over exposed and almost "white". It is fine when flash is turned off though.

I took it back to the store I bought it on and we tried another one and it had the same issue. So I returned it.

Not sure if it is a design flaw or a bad batch?

Hi,

I have just flashed my ROM using ODIN and now it cannot detect my SIM card. Just wondering did I use the wrong ROM file? ( I9100ZSKI3, Build number: GINGERBREAD.ZSKI3). If yes, we can I do to fix that? I am happy to flash my ROM again but where can I find the UK version package (CSC,PDS,PHOME...)?

I bought this phone in UK Carphonewarehouse. How could I know which my mobile version is (I9100 M/P/T/G ?)?

Also I got the following errors messages from recovery systems:

-- Appling Multi-CSC..

E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs

Multi-csc applied failed.

I guess I have missed the efs file but after google it, I still dunno what can I do.

Anyone give me some suggestions?
