You can read, but not write. It's perfectly normal.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] omarZ_1:
Yeah I've saw it there too, this explorer is confusing. I can see what's in the folders but I cant delete anything in there which is weird because the app actually gives me the option to delete files, and it says "1 deleted file" BUT it doesn't delete it xD.

Anyway I think that this could be a little step to create a xploit or something to modify these folders without being root? that would be pretty useful there's alot of **** running in the background of this device.

Edit: Well, it's answered above me so it's all okay.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Yes it's normal and I think es file explorer can do to same.

Not sure about deleting (haven't tested it yet) but moving apk and setting perms works fine for me.

Try solid explorer beta2. Hit jump/system root to navigate. Works great for me.

I was able to upgrade my US GT7+ using mobile odin to ics and now everytime i open the app it tells me my device is unsupported. Ive uninstalled the updates and reinstalled with the same results....anyone else seen this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Yes, but I'm using CM9, so I expected that. That seems strange to me.

What model do you have and what country is it from?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
Strange.

I checked that Peel started on my P6210 last night after I rooted (via the same method) , and while I didn't actually try to do anything with it , I also did not get any error messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
FYI - It looks like Peel released a new update to the Play Store. I'm not sure if it will help or not. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
Now THAT makes sense. Come to think of it I upgraded everything that was an automatic update yesterday taking advantage of the high speed connection I used to download ICS, etc.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
As the title says, I somehow managed to bend my phone today... Sitting in my shirt pocket without moving, pulled it out and it was bent.

Bent it back without issue but it has me wondering... Is there anything we can add to the phone itself to make it more rigid? Maybe do a One X back swap with a cutout for the kickstand (pipe dream probably)? I may even give up the kickstand for a properly supported backplate.

I'm currently using a Cruzerlite TPU case, which I love, and I don't want to get rid of it for something more rigid (and thicker), so I'm curious what other options there are? I'm not opposed to taking the phone apart and looking into some options... Maybe even something like thin metal rods that can be fed through the kickstand with a couple of small holes?

If there's no way to fix the issue permanently, I'm honestly very tempted to look into some other phone choices... I'm cautious with my phone (which is why I put the phone in my shirt pocket instead of my pants pocket in the first place) and it still happened. Next time I might not be so lucky on bending it back, and I'm not ready to fork out the $100 for insurance to replace a phone with (what I consider to be) a defect.

Am I crazy for expecting my phone to stay in one piece like every other phone I've owned, or is this the way phones are moving towards (giving up build quality for thinness sake)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Weld a support beam along the sides?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
Really would need to be something along the back, and as wide as possible. Might take the phone apart to the bare pieces to see what we're working with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dametalone:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
... No.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dametalone:
then dont treat this thing like its "tough" because it obliviously is not. Hell, just look at this thing. This is a prime example on why devices like this should not be made this thin. And people wonder why their phone bends when they put it in a back pocket of a tight pair of jeans *rolls eyes*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Mine stays in my pockets whenever I'm not sitting at my desk at the office. It's not bent at all. I don't know how this is happening to people...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dametalone:
i keep mine in my pocket too but this often happens because people are wearing pants and what not that are too tight thus, causing their phone to bend when the pants are constricted during movement.

Ex: putting phone in back pocket of jeans and bending over/sitting on it.

I have no sympathy for people who bend their phone doing these things. If people cant realize that aluminum wont bend on such a thin phone then its their own damn fault.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
Prime example of not reading the OP. Thanks for the ignorance, I needed a chuckle.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
There is a long thread on this problem and it is bending in front pockets also. I really think the only thing to do is put a sturdy case over it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
The question that needs to be answered is will they warranty the phone or is it considered physical damage
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
As a former repair tech for Sprint, MOST stores will consider that physical damage. There are some, I was one of them, that would exchange it, under the right circumstances, but most will not. It will depend on the level of damage and with Assurion cracking down on Sprints exchange policy (Assurion doesn't just do replacements for damaged beyond repair, lost, or stolen... They do all refurbs as well) Sprint tech are being more selective about the phones for advance exchanges. Your absolute best bet, is a repair center at a Preferred Retailer. They have slightly looser rules and quotas to follow. Good luck guys!! Hope this helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
For all you people talking about skinny jeans and what not, my phone is bent as well and I've put it in the leg pocket of my cargo shorts since the day I got it. As someone else said, there is another thread about this, it's a known issue. The phone tends to bend just above the kickstand. I bought an Otterbox Commuter in the hope that it will prevent my phone from getting worse. I've had a TPU case on it from the start but everyone has said really good things about the Otterbox so I figured I'd give it a try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
I'm kinda with this quote. I was being polite when I posted the link to the other thread on this very same issue.

The phone is solid guys. As a former repair tech for Sprint who has taken every single phone they sell apart, I can say this phone is sturdy. I have also taken this phone apart and beat on it pretty hard with power tools and an assortment of sand paper to polish the rear aluminum housing. I simply held it in my hand and sanded on it for hours, puttind a lot of stress on the part you guys are all calling weak, with out the screen or anything else the adding structural support.

I have had no issues what so ever and I only use a tpu case, if that.

If your phone is damaged, its not fair to place blame on anyone but yourselves, or possibly someone else if they were responsible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tuscani1821:

True. Very true!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
Phone A wont always be as strong as Phone B. Thats the way it goes. Just like cars. All cars have different crash tests ratings. Phones have different strengths and weaknesses. The arguement of "My [insert phone here] didnt have this problem'' Is irrelevant. Thats a different phone, not EVO 4G LTE. Deal with it. You can bash me, call me an idiot, or just plain disagree with me but I feel that ANY phone should NEVER be put in the back pocket, ever. Any way you bend or move tightens the fabric. And lets say youre busy and forget about it and plop down on a non cushined chair? When I see these posts about bent phones and people saying they had it in their back pocket, all i can think of is http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/184/961/tumblr_lnvvueuSsj1qcj56b.png

Well not only has the OP been completely disregarded at this point, but no one is even on the subject I was more interested in... Fixing the issue permanently.

Top it off with my OP stating that the phone was in my SHIRT POCKET of my work uniform, which is a button up looser-fitting shirt... So none of these posts talking about tight jeans are relevant, nor is the link to the other thread since it had nothing to do with what can be done to fix the issue, and instead had about 4 pages of people calling the OP a liar saying it wasn't possible to bend the phone.

Might as well ask for this thread to be deleted as it's been completely derailed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Modding the structure of the phone does not sound like to much of an option.

Regardless of what happened or how it occurred, I don't think soldering an equivalent to a paperclip would give me piece of mind.

I would find a hard body case you like and call it a day. My phone is not bent and I use the otterbox defender. Believe it or not I can't handle my phone with out it anymore, it's way to awkward.

2¢ +'d :p

I use to put my og EVO in my back pocket all the time. Sat down as well and no problem. This phone on the other hand..needs a tpu case for it to not look so fragile. I can see myself having the same problems with other users putting it in the back pocket. Leave it in the front pocket to avoid bending issues !!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
You bent your phone by slipping it into your shirt pocket and then removing it? Is this a joke thread? You obviously must have bent it prior to that, and my guess is that you did something like put it in your back pocket and sit on it.

Either way, I don't know if there's a way to fix this bending problem other than not to put undue strain on your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I think myn mentioned the polycarbonite shell being good on the GS3 because it would flex and come back to its standard position.

I wonder how much thicker the iPhones aluminum is on the sides compared to the evo lte?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
I really don't understand why this whole thing is so difficult to believe. I'm not complaining, $h1t happens but there's no question that this is a real thing. Here's a pic for you and, as I said, I don't wear skinny jeans, my phone has never been in my front or back pocket, and I'm extremely careful with it at all times. When I go anywhere my phone is in the leg pocket of my cargo shorts by itself. You can see the phone is no longer straight and the glossy part of the back is slightly raised. The pockets in my shorts are large so it's possible it might have slid partially under my leg while I was driving or something and put some pressure on the phone to bend it, I don't know. Regardless, the phone is indeed bent. Just because there are people who haven't bent it doesn't mean there aren't those that have and the reason isn't that they had it in the back pocket of their skinny jeans.

I didn't even notice this until I read the other thread and looked for it. As I said I bought an Otterbox Commuter and hopefully that will help prevent any further damage. The phone works fine, the bend doesn't really bother me at all but there's no question that there is a weakness in the design were the kickstand is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nolageek:
My guess is that at some point the phone falls horizontal in your front pants pocket and when you sit down it gets bent. It's probably because this phone is thinner and not as wide as previous phones so it's more of an issue. I'm paranoid about having my phone sitting in my pocket horizontally (always have been) for this reason.

There's no way the phone is magically bending itself while sitting in a loose-fitting shirt pocket - you had to have put some sort of stress on it at some point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Not really all that funny, i would be really angry if my new phone bent this easily. Any word from a sprint store on if they will exchange for free or charge?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
I think its funny that people r BENDING there phones. How is that even possible?!! Sorry wasnt trying poke fun at the op, and others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
Thanks for that pic! Wow, i guess it is possible! Thats insane! And hey thats not your fault!!! Obviously there is a defect!! March into sprint....and demand a new phone! I would.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
For those that may be interested... I'm looking at some options right now... The most appealing (and expensive) so far, is a single billet aluminum backplate with the kickstand piece itself being transplanted.

Potential issues include the radio antennas and NFC chip in the plastic top piece, and access to the SD card.

I'm also considering expanding the back piece and replacing the battery with something a bit larger (potentially something around 3000mAh) and putting a full-size SD card slot in it. I'll have to look more into what's possible before I start jumping off the deep end though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Wow, you're going all out! This would make a fascinating DIY thread. Take lots of pictures of everything you do along the way! :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JaredC01:
It'll be CNC billet aluminum, not hand worked. Gonna see if I can put something together in a CAD program, but it will take some time.

As for going all out, I like the phone, and I like making things my own!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] celticking:
These things just bend. It's disappointing to say the least. I think putting it in my body glove case bent it as the case is really tight and it need to be pushed into it.

It's actually not that difficult as I found out the hard way. My woman (who almost found the streets to be her new home) was looking thru my phone as it seems they always do. She then tossed phone at me after I made a joke about what she was doing. Phone hit bottom of couch where I was laying down at. I picked it up and I had read the original bent EVO thread like a few days before and to my discovery; gah damnit woman!!! Sure enough it was bent like pic a few pages back. No I didn't take pic. She kept saying its just a phone lol. For us who have bent EVOs look very closely.....where the bend was at and you can see the indents of the flex. Ocd is a horrible thing to have.

" As the title says, I somehow managed to bend my phone today... Sitting in my shirt pocket without moving, pulled it out and it was bent. "

I saw the picture of the bend, How is that possible, for the phone to bend like that from just sitting in your shirt pocket?

I take my phone to the gym to listen to my music while working out, I have it in my front jean pocket, sitting down , getting up, sitting down throughout my workout, no bend at all , and it does have more stress than just sitting in your shirt pocket.

... just saying ...

Edited: I also took my phone apart like god knows how many times already (for painting, sanding, dremel sanding) , not a slight bend.

I Bought the car dock for this phone and it won't work with my Otterbox commuter if I don't modify it. So I bought one of those cruzerlite TPU cases and works great but now I got my phone back on the commuter.

I think I'm more careful with this phone that I ever was with any of my other phones because I paid full price and I refuse to pay insurance cause of the deductible.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BonkyMoon:
From what I've read of the posts so far it looks like some people just got weaker-bodied phones. Obviously if you put it in your back pocket and sit on it it'll bend, but falling off of a desk or being worn inside of a shirt pocket and bending is abnormal and defective IMO. Getting HTC to acknowledge this will probably be nearly impossible since it will be nearly impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. I suppose HTC's next phone should be made of titanium or tungsten to avoid this issue, but I suspect that even those will have some that aren't quite up to spec. The OP asked for a permanent solution, which doesn't really exist since this is a problem that only exists in some devices, not all.

Having said that, I suppose a permanent solution of sorts would be to go with a different phone, but then you get to deal with all of the quirks of the different model; which may or may not be worth it (I don't judge.)

Fack. I dropped my Evo on cement from waist height, it hit on the left side opposite the power button. No damage to the screen but the aluminum case is slightly dented down (1mm at most) but you can see the gap between the top and the rear plastic cover. There is just dead air between the aluminum and the electronics so I can bend it back a little.

I guess I'll finally be getting a case for it now. Seidio Surface or Otterbox Commuter... Hmmmm
