You need to read before you jump the gun and mess around

First of all you can't be rooted and you can't have an unlocked bootloader for official updates/ruus

Second you can't flash ics unless you are s off and get an ics hboot

Here's the fix,

1) download the ruu from HTC website...I can try and find a link later

2) boot into hboot then fastboot

3) run the tool kit and use the relock bootloader option

4) if your phone reboots just go back to fastboot

5) if your bootloader now says relocked then just run the ruu

Ruu is official update done through a computer
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jperta:
resuldsd (Simonds)

Thank you both for your replies, i absolutely agree i really regret doing this, a link would be greatly appreciated too. and i just relocked my bootloader and it says "relocked security warning" so i guess its relocked, and finally how would i run the ruu? Im really sorry for being so clueless
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
The ICS Rogers RUU is here. Just boot into hboot and run it on your computer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jperta:
psmpar traditional

okay thanks so much, it always says "All free download slots are in use" which is strange because it only says that when i try to download the rogers ruu. i guess i just have to wait.

*update*

okay one more annoying question i promise. if i download gingerbread ruu from hotfile, i cant post the link but from another thread it works, and by doing what you said, hboot, plugin to computer and run the .exe, can i then upgrade to 4.0 by using the ota?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Prolab:
When i re-locked my bootloader, to confirm i went into h-boot, and it should say "Re locked bootloader".

But follow slapshot guide to the tee and you'll be good.

Sprint apparently has a roaming department now. :D And I have been "targeted as a roaming customer". I couldn't believe it when she said that. Not only was she fairly rude, but I'm now being treated as if I was somebody who hasn't been with the same carrier for years! I literally responded with "targeted? For what?" She didn't care to explain much and actually went through all my details and account history as I sat on the phone in silence just waiting for some sort of response or direction. After being in silence and hearing her mumble, cough, and what I thought to be her eating snacks, she quickly stated (so fast I couldn't make out what she said the first time) "you have the option to terminate with no etf or port your number with no etf". It literally sounded like this: youhaveheoptiototrrmijdETFporthsbsETF.

I thought about what I should as those were the only options presented to me... I finally asked, can I just keep the same thing I'm doing now? She basically said I could but threatened that my phone could be disconnected for no reason at all whenever they feel like it...!

I was too frustrated to deal with it anymore and told her thanks (nothing to thank her for, dunno why I did that) and ended the call.

Turns out I used approx 500 roaming minutes (phone calls) according to their records in six months. They claim that's excessive and sent me a letter 2 months ago that I still haven't seen. Either way, considering flashing to boost now. Only problem is, how do I get the other two phones on my account over there and would those be without etf as well?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Only sprint can answer those questions. My guess would be if they are allowing you to cancel 1 line with no etf, they should let you cancel other 2. If not, force them too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
congrats! ive been trying to do this for a while now with no luck.. did u call n ask them or did they call u?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
They practically harassed me. This was the third call of the day. The first one was on my lunch break with the girl telling me "you been roamin and we callin u 2 talk bout it". I was thinking "talk about what?" lmao! But seriously thee rudest people I've ever talked to on the phone!

Sent from my Super Galaxy'd SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjonesy77:
If they want you to cancel your line, make it conditional on them releasing the others as well. Otherwise, change the PRL to constantly roam on your other two devices. You'll receive a call in about a month telling you that they want to cancel those lines too.

This is easy to do on an android phone, but I'm unsure about iphones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
500 minutes over six months is excessive? Isn't their monthly roaming "limit" "800 minutes or the majority of minutes" for any single month?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
I have the same question, my mother is on verizon prl now but when I switch it I don't get any MMS messages downloaded, do you have this issue?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Well, I'd say it's nice to see you posting again on XDA but what odd circumstances.:confused:

I'd say call them up and get a clarification on it. If they don't drop the ETF already you could pressure them to do so and as another posted make it an "all or none" situation with your account. Remind them that it's not the only phone on the account. They'll either fold because you're costing them too much, try to give you the proverbial middle finger or drop the issue and let you continue as you have been. And if you don't get the answer you're looking for I'd take ask for a supervisor or find another way to escalate.

BTW, still sporting the LG as one of the other phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Lol. I do have the LG but kind of as a backup... My other phone is an HTC evo 3d which I need to find out if I can flash to boost as well...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I'm going to venture to guess "mumbles" the CSR meant to say you've used 500 roaming minutes a month for the last 6 months, but wasn't articulate enough to spit that out properly. If I were you I would call into the customer service number and try and get a hold of a rep who can properly convey what they are trying to tell you and escalate it from there to retentions. You will probably end up with a few options, 1) keep all 3 lines and try to get below a certain amount of roaming a month 2) terminate the offending line with no ETF and keep the other lines active 3) cancel all 3 lines with no ETF or 4) get the offending line terminated ETF free but have to buy out the other lines at the prorated ETF if the contract is over a year into agreement.

We are legion, for we are many.

Don't want to sound like an idiot, but no roaming on Boost? :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SimplyWess:
Slow down big fella or Sprint will come calling. I barely went over 300 mb of roaming for one month and the have me a call. I'm glad since it allows me to cancel my plan whenever with no etf..

Sprint's service in my area is horrible now... I'd rather go tmobile or verizon, even if it costs more at least its service that I can use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhwookie:
How do you use a PRL from another carrier? I have not seen that option anywhere.Sprint's coverage is pretty horrible and I could use some Verizon love when I am at work. Much better signal from Big Red and none from Sprint while there.

Funny that when I was on the evo3d subforum you would get flamed for admitting that you use that prl. Nobody here seems to mind.

then the evo3d people need to lighten up. All we want is a nice phone and a decent network to use it on. Sometimes, you've got to take measures into your own hands :good:

i download movies and dled win 7 last cycle.. stream youtube and pandora mostly lol. i was on the line with sprint last night because they cancelled my airave since i havent been using it and they tried to charge me an etf lol.. took care of that.. y would someone complain for ppl using verizon prl? you would too if you came to my house and your signal dissappears completely and the stupid phone wont go into roaming.. its wierd bcuz i was roaming and used over 400 mins but it was put under not roaming? was on 11121
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Lucky you. I can't even get that. I'm up sh*t creek with Sprint. I don't talk enough to use too many roaming minutes and the data is so slow I can't use enough roaming data to get booted. *sigh*

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if you can calculate the width/height of the margins (if you enable them) for Apex Launcher? Assuming a HPDI device with resolution of 480x800.

I am trying to do some custom themes and need the numbers to ensure perfect alignment.

On a slightly different note: Am I right to say that you cannot disable icons from snapping to the grid in Apex? the positions of you icons have to be centered within the grid?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascsa:
Hi all,

I´m still trying to find a way to get my hands on a Nexus 7 here in europe ... (not UK ;-)) ...to test my app NFC ReTag FREE

However, according to my dev console, there should be already some Nexus 7 users with NFC ReTag out there, and till today no bugs were reported, but I would like to double check it and receive some early feedback from the first Nexus 7 users ;-)

It´s not tested on the Nexus 7 yet and the UI is not optimized for the screen size (major UI changes are under development anyway ) but in general it should work without any problems.

Has anyone tried the app and could give some feedback ???

Video how it should work : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7TrkZ2hzn0
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascsa:
No one with a NFC tag + a Nexus 7 + 5min time?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowdan:
Just gave it a try. Apart from your logo looking a bit stretched all the text and buttons where correctly placed and I have scanned a few NFC tags and had them launch some apps and turn WiFi and Bluetooth on and off. I did have to allow it to turn them on and off each time seemed to be no way of granting access forever.

Quick question can you have it launch a specific web page based on the Tag not just Chrome?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascsa:
Many thanks for your feedback!

To get rid of the Bluetooth security pop up, try the "on silent" or "toggle silent " parameter... Wifi should not have such a security pop up..

To open a website, use the "browse" activity with a parameter like "xdaforums.com"... Without the quotes...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascsa:
Anyone with additional feedback ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlesW123:
Just given it a go, using my UK Barclaycard which has an NFC chip in. Set it to bring up the Barclaycard website using teh Browse action type which worked ok for a normal website but if you add https:// at the start it doesn't work.

Also when adding a tag there is an option for templates, when clicked I assume it should list some preset types but none are coming up ?

Nice app though, cool idea :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascsa:
Yeaah, i probably should add a FAQ or some additional help textes ;)

For the HTTPS issue, have a look at the settings and use the "disable http prefix" option ...

Templates: it´s an option to store your own tags as templates ... no preconfigured templates available (perhaps I should add a hint within the next update )

So it seems, to work as expected (at least for me :eek:) on the nexus 7 ...

Again, many thanks for your feedback !!! :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
So, with all of the fuss around the Galaxy S3, potentially a new iPhone and other quad-core phones bustling out onto the market, I have had one or two people ask me as to whether or not I regret purchasing a Galaxy Note considering that it only features a dual-core processor and may not even get Jelly Bean unlike S3 which is almost guaranteed to. So, do you regret purchasing the Note and wished you'd gotten an S3/other device instead or not? I, personally, love my Galaxy Note. I couldn't afford both a tablet and phone, so this fills that gap perfectly. The S3 has admittedly got better processing power, but the Note is still the only phone which has true 1080P resolution screen (as far as I am aware).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dungeon47:
Not a bit. I came from a SGS2, and haven't looked back. And what's this rubbish about not getting JB? We'll have JB quite soon; have you seen the news about CM10?

Note is not 1080p (1920x1080), it's 1280x800, which is still great. It has a higher pixel density than the iPad3.

My only regret on the Note is the EMMC bug. I mean, what the heck! we paid the phone more than 700usd when it was released and we get a bug in the official firmware that can brick this expensive phone for good!! This is completely unacceptable....but I will still get the Note 2 just because of the large screen!

Don´t regret it one bit,all this rubbish that its to big and won´t fit in your pocket is just bul***it,had it in ever paar of jeans I own with no probs.Used to own a HTC HD2(r.i.p:crying:)when that came out it was the biggest phone on the market at that time and now.....its standard with the size and now when I get a phone that size I think...hmmm...a bit small ;) Software,ok a few problems to begin with but now with 4.0.4,TOP :good: Played with an S3 for a while but it didn´t turn me on a bit were as with the Note...100% pure sex ;)

The Note has a resolution from 1280x800 but records at 1920x1080 and has a max. video output of 1920x1080 full HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
I never have a problem putting it into my pockets (normal fitting jeans) and sometimes carry 2 phones in the same pocket at the same time (Note plus either the Epic 4G/Nexus S 4G).

LOVE my Note. I've been owning it for over 4 months now and it still runs just as good as the day I bought it and I'm still on GB (stock but rooted). Heck it has been so good even while stock, I still run TW launcher! I also own a Nexus S 4G and Epic 4G (on Sprint, work phones) and I still default to my Note for just about anything that I don't do on my laptop. I also own an HP Touchpad (bought during the firesale has WebOS and CM on it) and ever since I've had the Note, I rarely use it, now mainly my kids play with it. The Note truly is the best all-in-one device. The only thing is the eMMC bug which I've hesitated updating to ICS, but even on GB it does everything I need it to do. If/when Sprint carries the Note 2, then I'll upgrade then. Heck I am already upgrade eligible on Sprint, but rumors of a Note 2 announcement on August 30 is making me sit on my upgrade until a Note 2 is released on Sprint.

You kind of had to know before hand that purchasing this would be outdated slightly since the s3 was due out for five months down the line. Plus Samsung treats the galaxy note line as if it were a b@st@rd orphan child that gets it hand me down.

It's a bigger phone so give me better specs dammit.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Veruvir:
.... If I were to change the note.... Longer battery life, maybe, more accurate pen in horizontal position, camera button, less mega pixel camera with bigger photo receptors, pen out light, more ram, and steel case to attach a chain to it so people can't ever steal my awesome awesome phone/star trek Data pad.

Not even for a second, quad core phones are useless really, im glad things are moving forward and eventually quadcore will be utilized, but the only thing that could possible use al that processing power on phones is games, and there isn't asingle game out there tha exclusively for the power of quadcore, all the high spec games run fine on dualcore phones.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smeddy:
I bought the note three weeks ago, so way after the s3 announcement. Had the s2 up to then. Made the choice because the s3 does not feel or look so nice (imo) and does not feel like a decent upgrade (don't get me wrong I do think it's the best phone out there, just not a huge upgrade to the s2).

The Note feels like a true upgrade, despite being basically the same specs, because screeeeeeen :-)
