I have done a few exchanges from otterbox without buying it directly from them. If you do need a replacement they do ask for some information off of the case.

Many places sell it cheaper than they do. buy it from where ever the best deal is. They will still honor their product. In fact I think Otterbox has some of the best CS I have ever seen.

Power Button is the Problem

In my experience with the case the home button is very easy to press, but the power and volume rocker buttons are very difficult to press.

recently I got a htc one s, it is a really nice phone but there is no notification toggle. I already feel tired about learning how to root and flash custom rom, so I just download a app call "notification toggle" from market, its free. Here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en

This is a great app, however, I just dont like the icons they provide. So I went to this site to download some metro style icon:

http://mywindows8themes.com/windows-8-downloads/windows-8-metro-ui-icon-set-free-download/

After that, you just find out the icon you need and set them in icons&colors inside the notification toggle app. I dont know if anyone did this before but I just wanna share mine~

Here is some screenshot: 1st one is when active, 2nd one is when disable

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] noowb00:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayk1080:
Hey XDA! :D

I have a rooted Samung Infuse with AT&T and am currently running ZEUS with few problems. I love this ROM but I am going to switch up and flash a newer ROM within the next few days. However, (back in January) before I got ZEUS, I went from the Stock ROM to MIUI and I used Titanium Backup to transfer all of my data. When I backed up contacts in the Stock ROM through Titanium and tried to restore them once I had MIUI, I kept getting force close messages that made the phone unusable because they were so frequent. I isolated the problem to be related with contacts and just deleted my saved contacts. The problem went away, but I ended up switching to ZEUS later, now with no contacts.

Anyway, I don't know if that was a random occurrence that happened only to me in my flashing process, but to avoid anything like that again, I'd like to be able to backup my contacts to Google. I've seen it mentioned several times here and on Google's site, but never did I find a how to or any sort of procedure. Can someone explain to me (as comprehensively as possible) how to backup my contacts to Google?

Any guidance or redirection would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Actually, you only need to activate the sync option on Settings >Sync (or account settings, I dunno). All your contacts will be uploaded to your GMail account, and downloaded to your phone the next time :)

You can also make a manual backup, doing this:

Go to Phone >Contacts >press Menu key >Import/export >export contacts to SD. So, when you need your contacts, follow the same procedure, choosing now Import contacts from SD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayk1080:
Thanks a lot! I tried every manner of playing with the settings possible. I had the account sync multiple times, but none of the contacts actually stored when I checked on a computer. I'm just gonna settle with the backups from Titanium, my SD card, and my Sim. :D No worries!

I'm looking for a MIui/cm9/Aokp Rom for my vibrant running gb/ICS/ froyo with a custom kernel. Hopefully team whiskey can hook it up
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Team Whiskey left the Vibrant forums like a year and half ago.

A mix of CM9/AOKP/MIUI HAS to be ICS.

A mix of CM9/AOKP is possible I believe its called Chimera, not on these forums its on team passion's forums.

A mix of CM9/AOKP/MIUI is not possible or atleast I don't think it is.
[Vibrant General] dligon:
what! stop the presses team whiskey is left the vibrant but im a loyal follower. I even got the team whiskey tattoo. well that sucks.
[Vibrant General] Xenoism:

Ah, but ye...cm9/aokp is Chimera. Not a bad rom actually. Definitely better than most, but still not nearly the best imo.

[HTC One V] chevymeister:
There's a picture of a blue cog wheel flashing in the top right corner everytime I press the power button and view my home screen. Anyone have this issue?

Also, does anyone else have the bug where you try to open a thread (texting) and it just goes back to your page of contacts like 5 times before you can view your thread?
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
Here are the solutions!

Have you rooted your phone? :confused: It has not happened to anyone in this world in Stock ROM. :P

Look, the Amazing Spiderman 3D Live Wallpaper has a sign in the top right corner when we switch between homescreens. :) So, I think it might be something with the wallpaper you're using.. :)

OR

It may be some app you downloaded that runs all the time (like a battery saver app) which shows some sort of sign when the screen is turned On and the phone is Awake. :D

Yes, it happened to me. :) Not 5 times, but I must say that the Stock Messages app is bad! Very, Very, Very bad! :mad:

It'll go away by itself.. At least now it doesn't happen with me... Actually its because HTC One V hasn't loaded all the threads and we command it to open a thread. So, after 1 second when all the threads (the whole messages app is loaded) it takes us back to show the full messages app loaded. :)
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
Ah great explanation, thanks man. Any new messaging apps that you would recommend? The phone is actually my mothers with that issue that has been not sending texts at random intervals and wanting htc error reports as well. It has a 3d wallpaper, not rooted and I don't think either of those have to do with the wheel. It's pretty much stock.
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
Here you are! Messages app- SOLVED !

No. :) I won't recommend any 'cause I've never seen any! :D Also, it's not needed! You know... My memory RAM was too low (always 30-40MB free). But when I uninstalled many apps that I never used, with the phone getting faster, the messages app has also got smoother. :laugh:

Now why did this affect the Messages app? :confused:--Because I uninstalled apps that took a lot of RAM, my RAM got released much after they got uninstalled. Now I have 70-80MB of RAM free and indirectly this helps the Messages app by allowing it to take RAM and store cache. Now I dont have any problem with Messages app..

Perform the following steps- :)

Clear the data and cache in Settings-Apps-Messages.

Open the messages app and use it.

Go to Settings-Apps.

Under the Running tab, gently tap on the green area at the bottom right (which indicates your free RAM).

The Running tab will then show the cached processes.

The more the memory is used by the Messages app, the more it gets smoother.

If no memory is used, let me and eveeyone on XDA know.

WHICH 3D Wallpaper? :confused:
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
I'll have to ask next time I see her. Thanks for the help so far.
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
Well, after looking at it today (it was the wallpaper with that stupid cog!!)

I've determined it's only issue now is she can't send texts with pictures attached or it fails. Any ideas on this?
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
This happens even with my One V... :(

This used to happen even with my old phone... :P

Thank God that cog problem is solved...
[HTC One V] Lloir:
Factory reset
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
That's the solution I was hoping it would not be. Lmao. Ok I'll give it a shot later, thanks. :)

Did it work for you Paresh?
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
I don't want that problem to get solved!

I've not tried a Factory Reset... anyways..., I don't need that problem to get solved... :P 'cause I don't send pics! :P :)

Before this I was in gummy toro ..then the first day that vicious jb roms out I manage to flash jb roms.. and its working.. then I try to flash different jb roms and it stock in Google animation..did everything clean flash delete all..then flash jb roms and again boot loop.. I unbrick my nexus using g.n. toolkit v7 back to stock..then set up everything then I try to flash a jb roms again yet again stock in boot loop.. any help pls... thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ooddiittyy:
What are you using to flash? ADB, ClockworkMod Recovery? My rule for ROMS has been: download to phone and ensure download was completed successfully, reboot to CWM recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, install ROM, wipe Dalvik again, reboot.

If you can provide any more info regarding your process I can try and help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrancescoGato:
Which galaxy nexus version is yours? Which Roms did you install? Did all three wipes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
@ooddiittyy,

I'm using the one from gnex toolkit v7(clockwork mod touch recovery) I did wipe data /factory reset 3times,wipe cache and wipe dalvik and I also format system,cache and data..reboot and stock in boot loop.. I did that to 3jb roms and same thing happens..so I restore to ics.and this time boot up well. This is the first time I've in counter something like this..been flashing since vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
this makes me die a little inside.

also, cwm touch is known to have issues with flashing stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
Oh.. so I think I should use rom manager.. to flash vicious-toro v3..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
Coming from gummy toro I manage to flash liquid vicious toro v1to v3 with no problem..then vanirbean rom and when I flash twenty@k3d_jelly that when its all started...I can flash ics rom and I can restore..but I can't flash jb roms..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Try re downloading the rom again if its stuck at the Google animation let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes. It should boot up on its own. If not then there's something else wrong. But when I'm stuck at the Google logo with any jb rom I just let it sit. And eventually it boots up fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
Thanks for the reply..I just flash it again I'm using 2 different jb rom and 2 different kernel..still stock in boot loop..I've waited for 30mins each in boot loop..before I had the vicious rom for almost a week then try different rom and this is what I got.. hayzz... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
did you change out your recovery to the regular cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
@zepius . Yep I did.. get it from from manager...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
OK. Hmm. Go into recovery wipe everything 3x data/cache/dalvik cache flash the rom (don't flash a kernel) just the rom go back and reboot system now and see if that helps.

Edit: make sure u have over 50% battery before doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
I did that last night..wipe 3× everything.. did flash just rom, then rom with kernel, and also I did try wipe just cache and dalvik.. and also I did try format system, cache and data...

Edit: this is the first time it happen to me..even though I unbrick ,luck bootl. Factory reset .. its so weird...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lamenting:
hey all,

not to highjack this thread, but I'm suddenly having the same issue.

I was on VanirBEAN v7 with the Popcorn Kernel that came with it.

I then flashed Franco's latest (384 GPU version).

Had no problems until last night when I let the phone run the battery all the way out and die completely. I let it charge for a bit, then tried booting and I'm stuck at the Google logo or get a reboot during the boot animation, depending on what I'm doing.

So here's what I've tried. All of these come with a wipe/cache/Davlik inbetween:

flash Vicious Toro JB V3 (stays on Google logo)

flash VanirBEAN v7 (reboots at VanirBEAN animation)

flash AOKP build 37 (reboots on the TeamKang animation)

selectively restore boot and system for AOKP 37 from a previous stable backup (reboots at the Android boot animation since in the ROM I had it set to not show the TeamKang boot animation)

I'm really at a loss right now. I'm trying a full restore on the backup I did before installing my first JB ROM.

edit: tried a full restore and i'm getting "Error while restoring /data!"... ugh.

Is my only choice to try Wugfresh's toolkit and restore stock and relock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
No one tried to fix permissions? :confused:

3x wipes, superwipe scripts..

That's not gonna help. If you wiped it once, it isn't there anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landrian18:
I used wugfresh to back from fresh start and still if I flash jb rom I'm stock in jb rom.. done with 3 different jb rom. Same on all of them.. and yes I also did fix permission... I also did about mount and unmount regarding the system,cache and data... I'm tired of flashing and waiting in boot loop so I restore to ics gummy. I hope someone can help us with this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ooddiittyy:
I suppose you could try reinstalling the bootloader, or using one of the recent JB bootloaders and see if that helps. I can't think of a good reason why this should be happening based on what you've described, however. I assume you've checked obvious stuff like the MD5 sums on all your downloaded ROMs, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ismrz:
Hi everybody!

I have identical issue, I did all possible, now I´m close to give it up. Yes, I checked all downloaded files by MD5 sums, I tried latest CWM, latest TWRP, gnex-JB-bootloader (…lc03). Today I tried also “Super_Wipe_Lite_Nexus”, but I can´t jump boot animation. I´m flashing roms long time, but this magic never happened. What else we should try to clear/delete?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
The opposite happens for me, I'm slow when booted but fast in recovery. Apparently its a problem with the kernel/rom combo, but I'm not exactly sure

This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Desire HD.

[*]Rooting and reverting to stock

Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:

http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6

If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396229

or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208507

[*]Flashing a Custom Rom

To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)

Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):

Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.

Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.

Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.

When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.

Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.

If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.

Trouble Shooting

Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.

Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck

Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:
