Re:

I think i did have the right drivers installed, i had the previous one installed (the guide that i used said that it would be fine). And i installed the drivers that came with the KFU
[Kindle Fire General] Dasanko:
Not annoying per se, but it's in the wrong section.

What does your boot screen look like? The one that shows up as soon as you power on the KF, not when it starts loading a ROM after a few seconds.
[Kindle Fire General] xdoggy17:
re:

As soon as I press the power button, it shows the stock kindle fire boot logo and stays like that untili turn it off.
[Kindle Fire General] Dasanko:
Plug it in with the factory cable. Make sure it shows as "Android ADB Interface" in the device manager, then flash TWRP 2.1.1 (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img - check the file's hash first), continue with "fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001", then switch to a regular cable and restart the KF (either force it off and then turn it back on, or "fastboot reboot").

If all goes well, it should boot straight into TWRP, from which you can install FFF (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632375), as well as wipe cache, dalvik-cache and factory reset. Hopefully that'll be enough to get the stock ROM back up, so long as system and boot are fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g_mosh:
Hello community,

I have two RAZR's, one is the MAXX and the other is the normal battery one. The one I use is the MAXX and it is the one that I installed ICS in. Everything is awesome, except for the fact that I no longer have auto-rotate function on maps (Not screen rotate, that one works fine) when I select the compass button on the top right corner. On my wife's device (Gingerbread) the option still works; you enter maps and move the phone around, and the display switches to a "bird view" as the map rotates to adjust to your viewing direction. I tried to find more info, but no clear response was given. I attempted different settings but I am stuck with a 2D top view on Google Maps. Already checked and all sensors work fine. No problems with other apps, Sky Maps works fine.

Any ideas?

:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bad.bid:
work around

i literally bumped into a work around for this same problem i had.

in ics, auto rotate seems to interfere with my directions. with auto rotate setting on, my 'bird's view' works fine.with auto rotate off, it's a 2d map like a paper map, no compass.

in my ics maps i didn't even see the 'arrow', just a dot at my position that shows no direction.

i mostly have my auto rotate off because of battery drain and mostly because i use my mobile from bed and with auto rotate on, the screen will be 90 degree to me if i turn to my side!

if that works with u, give feedback. May help some devs

bid
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g_mosh:
Actually the new update to Google Maps released yesterday returned the rotate function.

i figured since you can get paid apps for free by downloading the latest apk and stuff, you might could do the same for books. i can get the .pdf file and use aldiko to read them (unfortunatley that and a few other formats dont work on play books), but i prefer the play books app instead. more fun to use ya know? so is there a format (like .apk for apps) that google play books come in?

[General Questions and Answers] adriangb:
I currently have a Motorola Atrix, and while I love some of the features (led flash, fingerprint scanner, speed...), I'm fed up with waiting for moto to release updates, and the battery life is too short for me (I can't compare it to other smartphones thou, and I hear in general it's quite good, and mine is about average I would say, but I make heavy use of it and have a really long day). Also, I feel like it's "too powerful" for my needs: while I do multitask, browse the web, etc a lot, I almost don't game at all (maybe ~10 minutes of fruit ninja every other day). I imagine a lot of battery drain is going into powering the CPU/GPU, of which I almost don't use the GPU, and the CPU I could probably do with less. It also isn't very good at maintaining a HSPA/HSPA+ connection, which results in lost messages, etc.

So can anyone recommend a phone (if it exists) that:

Can be bought for <$300

Has as good or better battery life than the Atrix

Is GSM & quad band (or at lest 1900MHz + 850MHz)

Has a good community -no offense ment to Atrix devs, moto is the problem- behind it & tends to get frequent updates (ex, Nexus, Galaxys, etc)

Sorry if I'm asking for something that doesn't exist...
[General Questions and Answers] ChaosDimension:
Battery life can be increased with power profiles, if you want stock to stock though, the atrix is pretty strong in the power category, the only other phone that might beat it is the gaming sony xperia play, otherwise I would recommend getting an HTC one X

Samsung galaxy S2

looking at everything v need samsung galaxy S2 brings everything.. battery life is gud.. performance is great.. but litle expensive but its worth.. for a reference of phones providing good battery backup check gsmarena.com site.. u could find all phones there with detailed specs and info u need.. i suggest if u luk into performance and gaming , with good hardware specs and battery backup..samsung phones will surely help..

if u dont lik samsung lik i do, then sony is another choice..but battery back up is a big issue..for sony..

in the matter of fast updates samsung does real good ahead indeed..

Others maybe to expensive.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
You can pick up a used GS2 for under $300 right now. A good ROM/Kernal combo will get you a solid days worth of battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] sAmiZZle:
Personally I'd get the Samsung S3 and if needed upgrade it myself by rooting it. But if you want really fast updates without rooting your phone and not have to wait for the manufacturer to customise the ROM before releasing it on their phones, you'd be better off with a Galaxy Nexus phone. They're comparable, except the S3 has better battery life and Quad core CPU whereas the Nexus only has Dual Core.

Keep in mind with older hardware the Nexus may not see many updates anyway. I'd say the Nexus should be able to cope with Jellybean and I'd guess the next version after that would run O.K. based on previous experience (i.e. I'm running a rooted ICS ROM on an old HTC Desire... Admittedly it is slow and I don't have all features. This phone came out with Froyo and lasted 2 full versions after that). All the best with your choice. Hopefully this will help :)

I have htc evo 3d. Its really good phone. I like the way it is designed. Good processor, big display, 1gb ram memory, beautiful design, and whats the most important, very good 3D camera. In my country its a lot cheaper than s2, but i think evo 3d is a way better than s2. It feels better in the hand, and it's way more powerful. So in my opinion HTC evo 3D > Samsung galaxy S2. I think this was helpful for someone. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ConfusingCurve:
I would recommend, over anything, a SGS2X. It's like the great S2 but with a 4G LTE radio in it and a 1.5Gz processor. By far, this phone exceeds most, weather it be the international version or T-Mobile/AT&T/Rodgers. What is also great about any Samsung device is the easiblity to install a custom ROM. HTC makes it a bit harder, especially if your new to the whole deal. I have used a lot of phones, but my SkyRocket is my favorite. Don't worry about proccessor speeds. Now, theya re fast enough it wont make a huge difference weather its 1.2 or 1.5 or 2.0 whatever.

EDIT: I would not recommend a SGS3. It's pretty much the same thing as a SGS2X except no SDcard at all. Only internal phone storage. I hope this was helpful to any and all who read this. If you want more info, please feel free to quote and ask. :)

Does anyone know if its possible to change the product code on a Nokia Lumia 710?

Does anyone know what Zune checks for when looking for updates?

I have a T-mobile Nokia Lumia 710 demo unit with product code 059L3R1. I was able to download and flash "RM-809 T-Mobile Black 1600.3007.7740.11465" from NaviFirm to remove the demo software. However, it won't find any updates on Zune.

I assume its because of my product code. I guess I have three options that might work.

1) Changing the product code might fix the updates

2) Find a backup with the latest updates for a stock t-mobile 710

3) Find the links for all the t-mobile cab updates

Can anyone help me with any of these solutions?
[Nokia Lumia 800] jmoak:
Followed this and it found an update! lol what a joke.

Try this is Zune says your phone is up to date.

turn the phone into airplane mode.

check in zune for an update if it says its upto date click ok, the press one above or below the update option.

next click update and around 2-3seconds disconect from your internet conection, hopefully it will say update available, reconect click ok, and sit back

Ive just done this for my 710 and its updating now.
[Nokia Lumia 800] giodelgado:
I was able to flash it to the firmware you specified and it updated to Tango through Zune, no other thing was done to enable this.

Just one question for you... are you able to get the unlock code by calling T-Mobile for this device? I'm asking because I'm curious if they have an unlock code for a Demo Device... I have previously unlocked a retail 710, I'd appreciate your response.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] killjoylm1:
I'm stuck I flashed many custom ROMs for the Fit, but I have lost my ability to connect to my local cell data network. I thought that I could flash back using one of the European stock ROMs, but I still can't connect to the data network (using Cellular One and there is only 2G service where i am). So, when I take the phone in to return it they will, undoubtedly, do a wipe and it will show dutch instead of English and they are going to look at me sideways. Does anyone know how to flash a "Cellular One" based ROM or at least one that defaults to English?? Much Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] killjoylm1:
Or

Or if anyone knows how to get my data connection back??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
Firstly, all samsung roms have english language.. you just need to change them using your instincts-

secondly, to get back data connection, ask your customer care centre to send you OTA settings for 2g or use google and enter them manually..and reboot.

If still it doesn't work then flash a firmware of the same country that you live in..use sammobile and search for 5670 and flash it on your device.

Alternatively use tweakker and set your APN using it..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] killjoylm1:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tamas413:
I started having trouble with my LTE just after FeedPanda (no blame being thrown around, just stating).

I'm running the stock ROM with Zedomax's method. A couple of hours ago, I ran FeedPanda and successfully got S-OFF.

Since then, I haven't been able to send or receive texts or receive phone calls (outgoing calls work). I was using PRL 12121 but have since "updated" to 25004. I've only used ~50MB of roaming and ~900MB on network of data per Sprint.com.

I've gone through Profile Updates and even hands free activation (##72786#).

If jump over to Verizon's network with RoamControl and go through activation (over wifi) there, then I can receive calls, send texts, and receive SOME texts.

I'll be able to test a different Sprint tower in the morning, but the fact that I can't receive some texts is bizarre. Sprint claims to not have any problems with the tower in my area currently.

Any ideas/opinions until I can test a different tower?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tamas413:
Ahhh.... I got it fixed.

Recently, when I tried to make calls, Sprint started interrupting my outgoing calls after the first ring with a voice saying "Error: 16..."

I looked it up on Google. Apparently it's an anti-fraud measure Sprint has against S-OFF phones to make sure that people aren't getting on their network.

A call to Sprint to remove the flag on the line and a hands-free activation was all it took.

Sorry to answer my own question, but maybe this will help someone.

I did root and s-off and everything worked but when I did the *2 it said voice failed, though it worked.

So it bothered me to see that and I went and did a ##data# and cleared my data profile out.

Rebooted phone did *2, this time voice passed and data failed natrualy as I cleared it.

Now I got on my wifi, went to settings, update profile and prl and it added info back. Got off wifi and had no data still. Went into ##data# and found active profile was 0, set to 1 and all been good now and *2 passes everything.

Only odd thing I found is my lifetime data resets to 0 with every reboot and my min/call count is frozen at 0 on the ##786#.
