[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
Im on nottachrix running fauxs enhanced stock. Noticed the fp scanner didn't work but didn't think much of it. Anyway lately I've been feeling warmth on my finger so I touched the scanner to my lip... damn thing is on fire. I've also noticed my battery usage while idle has increased.

Any, its literally coming straight off the scanner. I removed the cover and touched my lip to the battery just below it and its ice cold.

Also, it hot after being idle in my pocket for hours. The rest of the phone is ice cold but fp scanner pad. The button/scanner itself is almost too hot to touch
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
tl;dr can i disconnect the fp scanners ribbon and expect the phone to work without detecting a fp scanner?

i did my research and this was apparently a fairly common hardware issue. so i tested that theory by turning off the phone. the fp scanner immediately goes ice cold. when i turn the phone back on, the fp scanner is immediately on fire, before i even see the m logo. that tells me it's hardware.

i checked GO battery master on a whim and it reports the scanner as using the highest percentage of battery power after being idle, so it's definitely the reason why battery life has decreased.

so, i figure i'll replace it myself because my phone is unlocked = warranty void. but that's 25 bucks for a fp scanner i never use. so the question is, can i unplug the fp scanner and expect the phone to boot normally even though it's not detecting that tiny piece of hardware? or am i stuck buying a new scanner?
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
also, does anyone know where i can buy a debranded digitizer? =)
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
ok well, i'm impatient, although not impatient enough to **** up a flex cable, so i just did it. i disconnected the flex cable connecting the fp scanner and left it hanging. test boot: ok. so, suck my fp scanner. who needs it =p

anyone curious, follow the digitizer replacement video to disassemble the back case but stop there. once you have the fp scanner hanging by it's flex cable simply use a toothpick to pop the little black latch UP, and the fp scanner is free. i'm experimenting with ways to stash the flex cable and keep the power button now

edit: experiment over. the scanner was busted, cut off the flex cable. it's now a glorified lock/power button ;)

Question for the CDMA Verizon Wireless RAZR/Maxx

I side loaded the 211 ICS build just yesterday. Can anyone confirm if the official ota release to public today is the same build as 211? Or did they change anything?

And also does anybody know how to change to the 3G cdma only option? I've tried a few apps at the play store. While they did let me select a cdma only option, it wasn't showing as 3G but showing 1x?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
It's the exact same release. Use the Phone Info app from Google Play to set it to CDMA only.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I already did use phone info app. When i set it to cdma only, it's doesn't work as 3G but 1x
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
You try rebooting then trying again? Did you try toggling signals then setting ti to CDMA only again?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Yep. After it boots up again it just goes back to 4G LTE. Does the phone info app work for you?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes, it does... I'm on CDMA only right now. I don't know what the problem is.

After changing it to cdma only in the app do you do anything else or just back out the app? Walk me through exactly what you did to just be on 3G.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sk842018:
Instructions: 1. Open the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* 2. A menu will appear – choose “Phone information.” 3. Scroll down until you see the pulldown menu for “LTE/CDMA/EvDo/etc.” 4. Tap on that menu and choose “CDMA Auto (PRL).” 4. Hit the back button to get out of these menus and to your home screen. 5. Wait 20-30 seconds and watch your 4G LTE logo turn to 3G. 6. To confirm you are on 3G only, head into System Settings and tap on the “More…” button. 7. Tap “Mobile Networks” and “Network type and strength” to see something like this: 8. Enjoy longer battery life.

This is how to get 3g only... works perfect... found on droid life

GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I didn't do step 1 but i used the phone info app. I set it to what you said "CDMA AUTO (PRL). Now I'm on 3G!! Thanks man! Before I just selected "CDMA Only" and that gave me the 1x.

My main reason for wanting just 3G was my cap data plan. I don't have Internet at home and being on 4G LTE kills data faster. Not too concerned about my battery life, I have a RAZR Maxx lol but 3G does make it better and my 3G speeds are not bad at all. Thanks again! Really appreciate it!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Hi guys,

I'm kinda thinking about ditching Nexus S for an Android phone with hw keyboard. I narrowed it to two - Motorola Pro Plus (MB632) and SE Xperia Pro. I had a chance to get a hold to Xperia and it's a pretty good phone, fast, with acceptable keyboard and a nice screen. I had no chance to try the Pro+ but I generally prefer the front-facing qwerty phones (loved my old Nokia E71). So there I can't decide here (regarding the build quality and shape anyway). Speed seems to be ok for both of them according to youtube reviews.

I also looked around XDA and realized that there is not much about the Xperia Pro and almost nothing about Motorola Pro+. Thats odd. But as there is much more info for Xperia Pro and it also received ICS update already I guess it won this round.

So, are there any major drawbacks on either of these phones I didn't mention? I'd really love to buy the Pro+ but I'm a bit afraid of Motoblur / being stuck with motoblur without a chance to flash some other ROM (what I like on my Nexus S).

Thanks in advance ... :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarningHPB:
The Xperia Pro is the same hardware wise (except for the HW keyboard) as the Xperia Arc if I remember rightly there's a topic in there specificity for the Xperia Pro.

I'm not sure about the Motorola tho.

I personally use a HTC Desire Z (G2 in the US), but that's getting a little old tho but I love it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Since you have an interest in flashing ROMs you shouldn't switch to either of those devices from the NS since their development community is totally inferior to ours (nothing personal against them, just stating facts) and if you do switch you'll feel pretty stupid in a few weeks when GB source code is released and those phones are still on ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
WarningHPB: Thanks for the info about Xperia Arc being the same HW-wise. :)

063_XOBX: About flashing ROMs, Im sure you are right, but I could live without flashing many ROMs ... Im just trying to find a way to flash a pure vanilla android instead of the manufacturer-modified ones.

BTW didnt you mean JB in "you'll feel pretty stupid in a few weeks when GB source code is released and those phones are still on ICS"? Funny is that Motorola Pro+ is still on GB LOL. :)

Either way, Id just love to have a HW keyboard again, Ive used my old E71 with another SIM card for a while and writing is so much more confortable there ... :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarningHPB:
Tbh if Samsung, HTC or even Sony came out with a phone with a hardware keyboard I'd be all over it like a rash especially if its release in the UK.

I'm only using the nexus s since my desire z isn't gonna get ics any time soon cause of HTC/Qualacom (or however you spell the company name) cause there not releasing certain drivers to the devs

Hello,

So I am waiting on my Galaxy S III to arrive and I'm very excited, but I really fear breaking the phone somehow, yeah guriella glass and everything but as others have pointed out its scratch resistant not scratch proof, so basically I need to find a case for my new phone.

Here's the issue tho, I think the pebble blue s iii is a beautifully designed phone, home button notwithstanding, and I love the color of it, so I need a case that will protect the phone without messing too much with its form and color. I've been looking at a thin clear tpu case but idk, what do u guys think?

I usually dislike cases because they add too much bulk, but the the GS3 is so slim that the TPU case (Kays Case) makes it much easier to hold. It also looks very nice and still remains plenty thin.
