[Motorola Droid 4] ccsoccer03:
My brother just installed the ICS leak for the Droid 4. One of the things he noticed was he could not send MMS messages through the stock app. However, GoSMS does work. Has anyone else had this issue? It sounds like its just the apk to me? Also, are there any other issues we should be aware of? Over all it seems to be pretty stable.

I recently rooted my phone and flashed the stock google build via nexus toolbox. I wanted to be on the stock rom so that I can get OTA updates.

I tried the update today only to find I have clockworkmod recovery and the OTA doesn't work. I have some questions about this and I'm pretty new to it all so please be gentle. My main goal is to be on stock, get OTA updates and not have to wipe my phone in any way.

1 can I get rid of the clockworkmod and go back to stock recovery without wiping my phone? If so, how do I do it?

2 can I flash jelly bean via clockworkmod/tool kit without wiping my phone? If so, how do I do it?

3 which of the above methods is recommended?

Thanks, I appreciate any help I can get

Cheers, Dean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Flash the stock recovery via Fastboot. Do this if you intend to stay completely stock.

If you want to keep CWM, then yes you can flash by putting the flashable update.zip on the SDcard and flashing it via CWM. Do this if you intend to keep CWM.

Via Fastboot. NOT a toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
1 - Yes get the factory image from here

Extract the recovery.img and stick it in your fastboot folder

boot into fastboot and type fastboot erase recovery

type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

wait for flash

type fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reboot into nexus.

2 yes but its not recommended as it will probably screw something up having different data on there you just install from sdcard.

3. You should always wipe cache, Advanced Wipe Dalvik Cache, and wipe Data before installing any rom from sdcard. Reinstall your apps afterword using something like Titanium Backup. If you want to stay OTA, I suggest stock bootloader and if you are rooted using OTA rootkeeper before updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwphoto:
Thanks for the response. Will either of those methods wipe my phone - like rooting does?

I think I want to stay completely stock - the nexus tookit offers an option to reflash the stock recovery. Should I us this since I'm not sure how to do it via fastboot?

Once I'm back to stock recovery, will the OTA update become avaiable again ( I just checked for system updates via the phone and it says I'm up to date rather than offering the update again)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Rooting doesn't wipe your phone, Unlocking your bootloader does.

Flashing a recovery doesn't mess with data

To get the OTA to push again you will have to clear data from the app "Google Services Framework"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Proper answer here ^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwphoto:
Just to follow up, I ended up flashing the stock recovery via the gnex toolkit which worked fine. The update then ran fine and I'm now enjoying some tasty jelly beans.

Thanks to all for the help and advice

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccxyz:
Just got the nexus 7, but...

When I change the brightness through the power-control widget or settings/brightness, on or close to the lowest level it turns off the display completely. I can't see anything no matter what the lighting condition is. Is this a software bug? I don't see how I can turn it back easily.

Another problem, when reading book, the light from the left bezel bleeds and I have a darker top-left corner. It is kind of annoying.

I also have the flickering problem when the brightness is set on the mid brightness... software updated right after startup.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccxyz:
Anyone have the screen completely off when turning the brightness down?

I also happen to have eight stuck (white) pixels...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eawooten:
Yeah, I have a very similar problem to what you described.

Check out my pics.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccxyz:
My backlight bleeding is very similar.

Does your screen get completely black when the brightness is low? Now, even when I turned on the automatic, it gets complete black. Is it just me or everyone else the same?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
No, it does not go black at min brightness here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeeverz:
I just got the Nexus 7 and the light bleed is Horrendous. I have owned a Asus Transformer before and expect some light bleed but this is really really bad. Like WTF
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptesmoke:
Holy cow... If mine arrives like that I'll be requesting a replacement.. That's insane!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccxyz:
Mine looked exactly, so I went back to staples for a replacement. Luckily, they have one left. The bleeding on the new one is unnoticeable and the brightness settings are all normal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zosX:
Wow. I thought my transformer bled light bad. I'm not feeling so bad now. Of course it has some other weird issues, but has been mostly reliable. If it acts up too much I'll just send it back. I've had it for almost 30 days and can't find any real reason to take it back. It reboots every once in a while if it gets overloaded or too hot (did it today in the sun..of course I had it overclocked too.....) and I've opened the dock to see that it has shut down for some reason, but its not a huge deal. Other users have reported the same, so clearly something isn't perfect. I came to this thread because I heard that the nexus has huge issues. I was curious to see what people were reporting. if I got a nexus like that I would be p****ed! There are reports of them locking up on startup. My transformer just keeps chugging along. Really I've had more problems with apex launcher than ICS on my tf300t.

edit: the light bleed is barely noticable on mine actually...only in darkness does it seem bad. I heard ips displays have issues with that, so took it as good enough for "spec" and really its not all that detractable unless I sit in perfect darkness. Video looks pretty great on the display.
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
1.) Has anyone with the "Bluetooth Problem" rooted their phone and found that it fixed the BT issue.

2.) Did the first OTA cause the BT problem on the Amaze.

I bought my HTC Amaze in January 2012. I didn't have my access to my Plantronic headsets at the time. Before I was able to test the Bluetooth on my Amaze, the first OTA came out. I did the update and all was good. Then my headsets came in and I tried them all (3 total -Voyager Pro HD and Explorer.) The range with the Voyager and Explorer was about 1-2 Ft. I basically had to hold the handset next to the Bluetooth headset. The Explorer had a better reception, but both headsets were distorted with the sound of static and would drop connection with a mere turn of the head. After ICS I now get about 8-10 Ft. with lots of static at anything over 3 feet.

My HD2 running CyanogenMod 7 still gets 30 ft. line of sight. And 15-20 through doors and walls.... I guess I'm spoiled.

Thanks for any answers guys.

[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
Maybe there's an issue with your BT antenna? It could be something as similar to the wifi fix (where you add a small piece of aluminum foil to the back of your case where the antenna is).
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
I have spent alot of time on the T-mo forum in the last few months. For the most part there seems to be a BT issue with at least "some" of the phones. When I updated to ICS the BT did without question get better. Not great.. but marked improvement. The fact that ICS made it better, along with a few posters stating that their phones BT worked fine prior to the first OTA but went bad after the update, led me to believe that the problem may be software related ...ergo the first OTA. The other people that are having this problem also saw a difference when they too updated to ICS.

One update "allegedly" messed up BT on the phone (some anyway) and another made the BT problem better. Strange....

hasoon2000 and kered424 are you guys running stock ROMs? I haven't rooted a custom ROM up to this point because I wasn't sure if it would actually fix the problem. That is why I was seeking a confimation or denial that rooting the phone would fix the problem. My dilemma is returning the phone. I have not unlocked the phone...but I did do the "Leaked ICS." But that is off topic...
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
I've been running stock for the longest time, but recently switched to NRG's stock-look rom. I've never had an issue with bluetooth (gb, ics, or nrg). When I was running stock, I was rooted, but I doubt rooting will fix your problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
Thanks for you reply kered424.

I guess what I am really looking for is someone that actually recognized they had the problem and notice a change when rooting a custom ROM onto the phone. I may not find that person here...most people here root without need. I'm all about rooting...I have an HD2 that I still root (my digitizer just went out.) I just do not want to go through the hassle of rooting only to find out that it was the hardware and not the software. I would not even post about this and root the phone...if it were not for the marked impovement when I updated to "Leaked ICS."

It leaves me going: "Hardware?..software?...hardware?...software?" :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
From your description, it sounds like hardware. Have you tried the aluminum foil trick? That's the only thing I can think of.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackeyedBandit:
Solution to Amaze 4G Bluetooth Issues. Possibly.

I've been reading XDA forums and modding my phones for years and now and at last I may actually have a contribution to make.

Alright all of you suffering with this enormous Bluetooth problem on the Amaze 4G that HTC pretty much refuses to acknowledge or address.

I too purchased an Amaze a couple months ago and was quite satisfied with its overall performance. That is until I received a Bluetooth ipad game controller and set of S9-HD Bluetooth headphones for my birthday. Then the nightmare began. Constant signal loss. If I were trying to text someone the sound would cut out on every key press. The ipad game controller would lose connection before getting through level one on Metal Slug Three played with NEO.emu (an awesome app by the way for its support of that controller). The in call signal quality was terrible and this was after trying multiple headsets. I read about a foil trick to correct this problem but never once found a tutorial on how to do it and the Bluetooth antenna prongs often spoke of were never actually pointed out anywhere. I looked all night for a diagram that would indicate which ones they are. I am guessing the they are the ones on the upper left. Not the top two immediately above the camera. If I am mistaken please make haste to correct me as it will determine the solution I detail. I had to guess I could find no real confirmation of this as they are both top left. Would someone send me a picture of the actual phone with the backing taken off and indicate which leads are to the Bluetooth antenna? As soon as I can confirm this I will post the fix.

I design and repair custom PC's in my free time for the elderly, disabled, and low income and I used that background to do a little experimenting the result was two more 4G bars in my basement and the the headset cutting out once during a three paragraph text. In game sounds were flawless and in call performance was perfect without a single cut out of signal.

As soon as someone discloses where those actual Bluetooth prongs are. I will post the how to and materials needed to perform this very successful solution. Not a 100% but 90% which is certainly better than the 20% us Amaze users have been putting up with.

I'd also like to thank all the developers for all knowledge and effort that goes into making all the cool enhancements and themes I had on my old HD2 and am now leaning how to apply on the Amaze. Hours of fun. You are all very much appreciated and Keep people like me learning new things.

Oh, I am running NRG's latest Aug 6, 2012 ICS Themed ROM release for the Amaze, Stock Kernel, 4EXT (the best!) S-ON, (Bricked my first Amaze with S-OFF).

As soon as I get confirmation of the antenna location and do a little more testing I will post the fix right here (next week or two). I don't want to look like an idiot or give misinformation if I have it incorrect or cause any damagage to anyones phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
You are right...I could not find anything showing a diagram or pic of where the antenna is/are located. Hopefully somone will provide you with something. Have tried emailing HTC and outright asking for a diagram?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BlackeyedBandit:
Still Still No Adequate Solution to Amaze 4G Bluetooth Issues.

Me too. I asked them for a service manual as I am a PC technician to let me figure it out but just like Toshiba laptops. Not a chance.

Update: Unfortunately my Bluetooth antenna mod/fix seems to only have solved the connectivity issue indoors as my headset still cuts out every few seconds outside and drops calls like crazy. I feel as though we've all been suckered by HTC as they will neither let us exchange for a smartphone that works properly or provide a solution to those of us who purchased this factory defective off the shelf phone.

I will still continue my efforts to find a way to enhance the antenna but I will probably never buy anything from HTC again seeing as how they've chosen to not deal with and dodge this widespread problem. T-mobile is no longer selling the Amaze that was the Sales person's response when I told them they were selling a defective product today at one of their stores, However, on the T-mobile website they are giving them away for free with new contracts. Those poor unfortunates that take them up on that offer who know no better.

I am going to demand a refund from either T-mobile or HTC but I doubt I will get one.

The salesman at T-mobile said "Nothing beats a wired headset." jerk!

Again I am sorry for jumping the gun but I was certain I had made a significant breakthrough in solving the Bluetooth problem on the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
BlackeyedBandit: I once read that the very first OTA is what messed up the Bluetooth on the Amaze. Unfortunately I am unable to comfirm this, or deny it. When I purchased my Amaze in Janaury 2012 my BT devices were being shipped to me. Before these devices got to me, my Amaze prompted me to do an update. I did it. When my BT devices arrived none of them had a range of more than 1-3 Ft. without static and/or terminated BT connection. When the ICS update came out the range increased to about 8-10 Ft.

I want to revert back the ROM that was first released to see if in fact it is better. But....I don't want to go through all those changes to find out it doesn't work any better. My phone is still completely stock...because I want to be able to return it soon. I love the phone and only want the BT to work in a manner that I have become accustomed to with HTC products. And to get the video stereo sound quality fixed too.

This is my second HTC device. The first was the HD2. It was a nightmare with WinMo 6.5 on it. I returned that thing 5 times and never got one that worked right. I eventually...with the help of xda members and others, learned the art of rooting. Once I got that down and rooted Andriod onto it, I was in love. I thought that even with all it's faults, HTC made an awesome device. I just needed to figure out how to "tune it up."

So I believed that the Amaze would be super awesome and looked forward to getting it. I feel let down because BT is a must for me. I'm not sure I will buy another HTC product either. This is the second time I have been burned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] notperse:
This Piece of S was offered as a replacement to FIVE HTC Sensations, followed by a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?, followed by THREE HTC Amazes...all in 11 months. WiFi doesn't work right. Bluetooth is practically useless on the Amaze, and worse when combined with WiFi. I've used it with three different high-end Bluetooth devices (Plantronics (best-I forget the name), Samsung's best, and the Motorola Sliver Elite. All work find with friends' phones when I've tried to troubleshoot. I've used several WiFi routers, access points, repeaters,etc...still the signals fluctuate, the sound warbles, and the calls get disconnected.

I have LITERALLY spent 49:25 hours on the phone with T-Mobile, and 16:30 hours on the phone with HTC. There has been no resolution. T-Mobile...offered...me...the option (get this...) to pay MORE money and get a different phone. I've spent countless hours on websites (I'm a software developer and systems integrator, so I know my way around) and was unable to get anything working. I've had to hold the phone...in my hand...about 1-2ft from my Bluetooth devices to get them to work at all.

The device is FULL of known issues. Bluetooth & WiFi being the only ones about which I care.

I've also gone back to the T-Mobile store twice (which dialing 611 or the 800-number tells you not to do...but after the HTC Sensation, and then the HTC Amaze issues, I had to choice but to go to the face-to-face supervisors and beg for help.) The first supervisor left T-Mobile and the second one "Jodi" was INCREDIBLY rude to me.

T-Mobile's 611/800-number "customer service" has three times not documented anything - and I was on the phone for 1:30 hours/each.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Bro I think you have been extremely unlucky with the amaze. Although it does have some issues (capacitative light bleed, camera flash bleed, lower battery life than one would like, and slow development) most of these have been overcome to a great extent. If you are using a case you will have WiFi issues and possibly Bluetooth (I had WiFi issues with cover on, no BT issues) but that's fixible with a silver cigarette foil (or gold as well Iguess) placed in the battery back cover right beside the camera hole in the cover.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jwinn3:
I too have the bluetooth connectivity issues. The only reference I could find to an "aluminum foil fix" was actually wifi antenna related. However, the thumbnail image is in this post by darll, 15th November 2011: (Wifi signal affected by phone case) in the Amaze 4g General forum.

BT MAC addresss

Where does the bluetooth get it's MAC address from? (the one under settings/ about/hardware info/ bluetooth address)
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I think it is on the chip, but I'm not certain. It could also be programmed into the part of the phone firmware that is not touched when flashing.

I also want to report that I've had no issues with BT connectivity, and I have connected with about 8 headsets / handsfree over the past year.

My Amaze can get into a problem state with the BT, where the phone does not acknowledge a change in BT from off to on or vice versa. When this happens the phone starts to overheat, and I have to power completely down, and then power on again - at which point it will show the actual BT status. I've been on NRG almost from the start, so I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a ROM issue. I haven't had it happen in a while - I'm now more careful about turning on the BT (the problem seemed to happen when I was accidentally hitting the switch twice). Since I know how to avoid it, I haven't pursued any fixes.

Have you tried replacing the back cover? That seems like the most probable fix.

bluetooth problems?!

Hi, I have a rooted and s-off amaze with nightmare rom. everything is working but bluetooth.
