[General Questions and Answers] PwnFx:
I've had my Razr since launch day and I'm getting tired of it. Not enough development to keep me interested. The only ROM that I'm interested in, has a broken download link, and has for weeks, so I'm stuck here.

I have had an upgrade due since March and have yet to use it.

I've been checking out reviews for the GSIII, and the GNEX, all of which are leading me to believe the GSIII is the superior device, although there are still problems of locked bootloaders.

Are there any decent phones out there without a locked bootloader? Are there any good phones out there that have had the bootloader unlocked? Whether it be by the Manufacturer, or a hacker/modder?

I don't want to spend over $200, so if you see any deals, feel free to send them my way.

AmazonWireless currently has the GNEX priced at $49.99 with the upgrade. I have yet to find the GSIII for cheap.

Thanks in advance guys.

Don't ever try to hold onto your phone and a couple bottles of water (one of which has a loose cap) and then bend over to pick something up. Splash.

Anyway, I'm doing the rice trick, but just want to know what my options are if it doesn't work. I do not have TEP coverage. Would still like to have an EVO 4G. Any tips on buying used, refurbished, etc. and not getting ripped off?

God... I miss my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
It worked perfectly on two flip phones in the past. I expect it will work for you. Good luck, and make sure u leave it in for a couple days if not more before turning it on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diusgh:
I have doused my EVO twice and put it in a rice coffin each time. It's still alive and well. The battery seemed shorter, but I upgraded to 3500 anyway so it wasn't an issue. It helped that I pulled the battery out right away as well. Hopefully you did the same.

Hello all,

I am looking at getting one of the Blackberry chargers:

http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Fo...laybook/dp/tech-data/B004OZMWUS/ref=de_a_smtd

The folding power blades would be nice in my luggage, and it is 1.5A so it could fast charge but does anyone know if it actually does or would I have to do surgery on it to make it fast charge my Note?

Thanks very much all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I imagine it would work fine, but wouldnt the included charger mini "block" work just as well? I understand the folding prong part, but it's also rather tiny and is smaller to start...plus it wont cost you $20 to charge at the same rate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Point taken, just hate prongs destroying my luggage.

I always the prong protectors I usually try to accumulate to shield them.

Anyone know if the Samsung Portable dock (the one with a flip lid and will charge an extra day battery will allow fast charge?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Never mind my previous post!

I didn't know that the HP unit already had folding prongs, Heck, I am ordering a 2nd one cause as good as the one that just arrived (nice rubber surface, folding prongs and just a great weight/build quality) these things are a STEAL!

Thanks for the advice, right on the money!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hallo zusammen,

dies ist mein erster Post in XDA obwohl ich schon seit Monaten hier glücklicher Nutzer der ROMs bin. :good:

Nun habe ich folgendes Problem: Ich hatte die ROM TheMidDream 2.0 drauf, wollte aber die ROM AOSP drauf haben, weil die andere nicht so sauber lief. Dies habe ich dann wie immer gemacht: ROM auf SD -> CWM starten -> .zip Installieren -> Fertig!

Das hat diesmal nicht so funktioniert! :(

Das Handy lässt sich nach der Installation nicht mehr starten. Ich komme nicht mehr in den Download- bzw. Recoverymodus. Ebenso erkenne ich keine Reaktion wenn ich das Handy an den Laptop anschließe. Das Handy ist praktisch reaktionslos. Egal was ich mache! Ich habe mal was von Hardbrick gelesen... Hoffe das ist nicht der Fall!

Kann mir jmd helfen bitte, was ich tun kann oder auch nicht tun kann??

Bedanke mich im Vorraus für die Hilfe!

EDIT:

Hi all,

this is my first post at XDA for months even though I'm happier here users of the ROMs. : good:

Now I have the following problem: I had the ROM TheMidDream 2.0 on it, but wanted the ROM AOSP have on it, because the other was not so clean. This is what I've always done it like: ROM to SD -> Start the CWM -> zip Install -> Finish.!

That did not work this time so! : (

The phone can not boot after installation. I'm not in the download or recovery mode. Likewise, I recognize no reaction when I connect the phone to my laptop. The mobile phone is virtually no reaction. No matter what I do! I once read something about Brick Hard ... Hope this is not the case!

Can sb please help me what can I do or do not do??

Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi,

i think the only way is to use a JIG.

With this you can get into download-mode, even if your screen isn't responding.

You can build a JIG by yourself here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551), or buy one.

First you remove the battery, then put in JIG, then put batery back in.

Your phone should go into download mode.

Now you can flash a Stock ROM or whatever with ODIN. :D

If this doesn't work, i dont know what to do...

I wish you luck :D

Deutsch:

Hi,

ich denke, das einzige was noch möglich ist, ist ein JIG.

Der bringt dich direkt in den Download-Modus, auch wenn der Bildschirm nicht an geht.

Wenn das nichtmehr funktioniert, hast du verratzt ;), denn dass ist die letzte Möglichkeit.

Einen JIG kannst du kaufen, oder selber bauen (siehe: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551).

1. Batterie raus

2. JIG rein

3. Batterie rein und warten. (evtl. anschalten, ich glaub aber es geht so)

Wenn das funktioniert flash mal ein StockROM über ODIN.

Ich wünsch dir viel Glück, dass du dein NOTE wiederbeleben kannst :D.

I hope i could help you,

Danke für deine Antwort! Finde es unglaublich toll, trotz Forenregeln eine Antwort in mehreren Sprachen zu bekommen. Was ein Luxus! :cool:

Naja zum Thema zurück: Hab mir jetzt so ein JIG in eBay bestellt für knapp 2€. Bevor ich es zum Techniker schicken muss ist es echt einen Versuch wert.

Nochmal zum Vorgang: Hab ich es richtig verstanden, dass das Display trotz erfolgreichem Boot in den Download-Modus ausbleiben kann?

Ich hoffe echt dass das funktioniert.. :confused:

Und jetzt nochmal um alles den Forenregeln gerecht zu machen auf Englisch: :rolleyes:

Thank you for your answer! Think it's incredibly nice to get an answer in spite of forum rules in multiple languages​​. What a luxury! : cool:

Well back to topic: Have me now ordered one JIG in eBay for about 2 €. Before I send it to a technician it really is worth a try.

Again the process: Did I understand it correctly, that the display may fail despite a successful boot into download mode?

I really hope that this will work .. : confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainworx:
English:

Yes, you're right,

the display can keep black...

but in most of the times it will come back.

If it keeps black after you flashed a stockrom and rebooted, i think there's no chance to get it back working...

Deutsch:

Hi,

ja, stimmt. Es kann sein, dass es ausbleibt. Das ist aber eher unwahrscheinlich.

Wenn es doch schwarz bleibt, und du mit ODIN ein StockROM geflasht hast, sollte es nach dem booten wieder angehen, sonst ist irgenwas an deiner Hardware schrott.

I hope i could help you,

Hello Everyone,

I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3

I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)

I have a question:

If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??

Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.
[HTC ChaCha] atrix4g18:
Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

has anybody tried these? is xmas coming early? :D
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
1. mine's is European version, can I install the US version on it?

2. Will be there more versions?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Tried what?

Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.

Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
So Alex C.

1. this is not ICS?

2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

Figure some users may want these. I converted my custom Samsung Galaxy S 2 boot animations to the Samsung Galaxy S 3 resolution. In general they look pretty decent and not too distorted.

They work on CM9 and most likely on MIUI and AOKP but haven't tried them yet. They do not work on default Samsung Roms due to the boot animations being qmg

Your welcome to modify or alter the files as you which for your own use or others as long as you post

Also for speed of playback you can make it slower or faster by simply unzip the zip open the txt file with note++ and change the frame rate and then re-zip using the store only option

Just put the file in system/media. I recommend root explorer to put them in the right place.

Sorry for the vid quality using cheap phone to take vids

All files can be downloaded from here just extract the zip from the rar to get the bootanimation.zip file

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I got my SGS3 a couple of days ago (so far I like the phone a lot, coming from an iPhone4) and I noticed today that when I tap the upper side of the screen I hear a little buzzing/clicking or popping sound. It feels like there is something loose inside that moves, and it only happens on the upper side of the screen. When I tap the bottom or mid section this sound is not apparent.

I can also feel/hear the sound when I shake the phone.

Is this normal for this phone or should I go back to the att re-seller and complain?
