thank you for this. it gave mne enough information to decide to try it. of course that also sent me on a search for information about everything else. :D you have officially started my long journey into learning everything i can about these devices now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] machv5:
Thanks for the thanks, and glad to hear that you are traveling the same path too. I am not all that far ahead of you. And once you get the hang of the terminology and some successes which will give you more confidence it's an extremely addictive hobby. If you have the resources and or drive to do so I would try putting a classified advert on your city's usedcityname.com and cityname.kijiji.com pages asking to buy Androids/tablets etc... with broken or cracked screens.

You can get them for cheap and you can buy new digitizers/LCDs etc... for under $40 and as low as $10 for some phones. Then do the repair yourself. I myself have started to do this for a living (my business doesn't pay all the bills yet but is slowly building) but even as a hobby you don't have to buy new or fully functional devices to play with and learn on. Which would increase the stress of not failing and tossing away $200-$600 if you hardbrick a device. I got an iPhone 4 16gb for $10 with busted LCD and Digitizer. It's $30 for the new screen assembly.

I got an EVO 3D for $30 which was in horrid shape. It got run over by a car in the rain. But it still works. And because everything on it will be "new" except the motherboard I can technically sell it as a refurbished phone. I have also in the past bought phones from pawnshops, if you buy more than one at once you can get some great deals. I bought two EVO 3Ds for $200 from one.

If you are wondering why I seem to get a lot more EVO's than other phones it's because the phone that really kicked off my journey was an EVO 3D that someone I know was given as a tip for driving a drunk home one night (he works as a designated driver) it was stuck in a bootloop due to a bad attempt at rooting it it took me 4 days to get it to boot to a ROM after unlocking the bootloader then I got S-OFF with juopunutupbear's wire trick then unlocked the simlock, flashed Dissarmedtoaster to it and haven't looked back.

I currently have 5-6 devices in various stages at the moment. And am most definitely working at my dream job. Anyway if you ever want to work on anything together in order to increase our combined knowledge let me know. And have a great day.

(note: I normally would have posted links to the ROM's and tools I used but as they are for other devices not on this thread I didn't want to have anyone just click without first reading and realizing that I was referring to other devices and flash the wrong thing or similar potential confusion.)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] scrappy610:
Thank you. If you have a chance I would like to take a look at those links, I don't know if you can pm them but if so I would appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing! You are right that everyone should familiar with adb/fastboot, and it is easy to use.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] smnfm:
Just a note about adb and upgrading to a rom based on a newer version of Android, in case anyone is as stymied as I was:

If you upgrade from one version to another (say, 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 as in CM10 to CM 10.1 nightlies), adb won't recognize your device until you update the Android SDK by running the 'android' script in '{path/to/your/sdk/folder}/tools'

Hope that helps anyone who might be stuck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I saw this on the front page and on the tmobile gs2 forums. I did a couple of searches and didn't find anyone mentioning it for the e4gt. It seems promising and I have installed it, but haven't noticed much of a difference yet as my battery has been a little unpredictable anyway lately.

Anyone else tried it?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chew DZ:
Sure, it might save some battery but I doubt it will make much of a noticeable difference. I know the Exynos processor we have in our phone (the Exynos 4) has the ability to push the phones processor down to 200mhz whenever the screen is off which already saves battery. I dont know much about that app but it kind of comes off to me as unneccessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
The CPU will already turn off 1 core if it does not need it. This app would do nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yeah. I tried this on AOKP with the script. It really didn't show me any difference in battery. It did cause me some issues when I got down to 8% on my battery and I tried to use the flashlight. Gave me a hot reboot. I had never had an issue up til that script. So it may have been the cause. Other then that its kinda senseless IMO. But hey, at lease the dev is trying to do something. Maybe he can push his effort in another direction. Now there is some mods out there that let you control each core individually. Like min/max and governor on each core. That may help with batter. But so far nothing beats good old undervolting. Tegrak comes in really handy for some.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
Thanks for the replies. I have tegrak undervolting too. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try this. I wasn't aware that the phone already turns off a core if it's not using it though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yeah. I've noticed when I use a CPU monitor app if it shows real time usage that the second core isn't always active. Its only active when the first core maxes out for longer then a few seconds. So yeah. Kinda pointless.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kal7467:
i installed the sdk on my windows machine and set the path. when i put adb in it does the same thing as in the tutorial so i am assuming I did it all right. problem is my computer does not recognize my phone when I am in fastboot mode. i have installed the drivers 3 different times but when i am in fastboot it says i need the android 1.0 drivers and it cant find them. I am trying to lock my bootloader and using the command fastboot oem lock and it just says waiting for device. I guess i need to know how to get my vista machine to recognize the phone or try to do this all on my mac running leopard which is pretty confusing to me. any help will be apreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Drivers need to be I stalled TWICE: once when your device is booted normally and once when booted in fastboot mode. Use 1wayjonny's universal drivers in the Dev section. When you see the android 1.0, right-click on it and update it manually with the driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevin_05:
So as the title states, I most likely soft bricked my phone. It's stuck in the screen that says "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue". This happened after I tried to revert to stock GB because the ROM (Tuesday) I was using was having some problems, and I wanted to start from scratch.

To revert to stock GB, I put the phone in download mode, and I used Odin's PDA button to flash the stock ROM. But when I did, Odin would just stay stuck in the "initialization" step, even after an hour of waiting. After an hour of not moving from there, I turned the phone off to try again, but now I can't even get in recovery mode, and it wont boot. It just says the firmware message, and it turns off. So please, any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information, feel free to ask.

[Asus Transformer TF700] StormMcCloud:
I'm curious if anyone else noticed that during CNET's review of this they show them playing what looks like COD: Modern Warfare (2 or 3). Does this app actually exist? If so how well does it run on the TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] averagecrown:
Its a video. Not them actually playing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] StormMcCloud:
Well that's rather misleading, seeing as how they said that it makes your games run faster while showing this clip.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
It could be one of the Modern Combat games made by Gameloft. The company is kinda notorious for ripping off more popular games on other platforms and Modern Combat is their shameless CoD clone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] StormMcCloud:
I tried looking into that and it isn't Modern Combat. I'm thinking it might just be a video of Modern Warfare 3. The map they are playing in that clip is Bootleg (actual name of the map).
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Looks like ASUS MyDesktop (= Splashtop Remote). The game is actually running on a PC and is controlled by your tablet over WiFi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
That's even more deceptive than if it were a video then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:

I just finally installed my zagg invisible shield HD on my EVO and am curious about there "Warranty". Had anyone ever had to get another one and why? I bought mine around the end of May and believe I have the old one that supposively covers up the light sensor but mine does not have this problem. Are they quick to send you a new one like otterbox is with there cases?

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
I bought one around when the phone came out at Best Buy and had their mobile guy install it. He did it flawlessly.

A few weeks later I had put a cut in it somehow when rubbing my shirt on the screen to clean it obsessively. Maybe dirt got between my thumb/the shirt/the screen and I mashed it into the screen protectors - I don't know.

Anyhow, I went to the website and payed the $3 shipping charge and 2 days later I got a new Zagg kit. I took it to Best Buy and was going to pay them money to do install again, but they did it for free. This time different guy and there are two tiny specs on the screen protector, maybe dust under the screen protector. Didn't catch it in the store since it takes 2 days to "cure" correctly.

So the warranty process works great, but now I have to live with these tiny specs on my screen and it drives me completely insane for some reason.. :cyclops:

The new kit came with a return envelope, but you need to slap a stamp (or two?) on it. I sent it back but haven't gotten credit for sending it back yet, so I hope they don't charge my card for the full cost of the screen protector :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
That's pretty good. I installed it pretty good also there's just 2 finger prints on the inside by the buttons. As long as the screen is flawless I'm happy but I wonder if the prints will come out in the days it needs to "cure" along with a few air bubbles?

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CaptainCool:
I did the same thing a while back for my old phone. Once you register your shield at Zagg's website (which can be done at any time) you have the option of having them send you one then and there. It takes a few days for them to ship you the replacement.

The actual warranty process is pretty straight forward. They put a 15 dollar hold on a debit or credit card and mail you a new one. As long as you mail the old one back they remove the hold from your card. However, they only give you 60 days to send back your old shield, otherwise they keep the 15 dollars.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
The finger prints will probably go away. Two days for complete cure, but hopefully you see the fingerprints start to fade soon. The screen will be gummy for a day or two it seems. It gets slicker later on, but always has some texture to it.

So yeah, if you still have fingerprints in a week, you may have issues. The spray solution should do its job, hopefully!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I had to replace one on my EVO 4G because the edges were starting to come up a bit. Process went pretty smoothly, but for some reason the original one that I tried to send back was returned to sender by the [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] post office. As such, they charged me $15, but when I called and emailed a picture of the returned envelope (with their correct address, as they even noted), they refunded the difference and didn't even ask me to try to return it again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Sounds good.I took off the screen protector on my otterbox defender and it seems like because the case is so tight to the phone is making the edges of the protector come up. It's still covered up by the case so idc. I just was curious over time if I could land another one and by the great responses in this thread you reassured me I purchased quality merchandise. Thanks everyone. :thumbup:

Can you elaborate and post a screen shot?

The closest thing I can find just for email, is when you click the email icon it usually opens to the last inbox. At the top is an email icon, and it says Inbox and which email account. If you click Inbox, it gives you a dropdown with a list of your email accounts and the number of unread messages plus the option to create combined inbox. You can switch email accounts there. But I would still like them to all show like in a folder without having to click the dropdown. There is also a 1 x 1 email widget that you can set to a specific account. Do one for each account. Then those can be combined into a folder, but you don't get the number of unread emails superimposed on the account icon like the old app.

Some ROM's like Resurrection Remix (found in Android Development Section) allow you to have the soft keys on screen. Not sure how well they work as I have never used it.
