Yeah, maybe. I have to admit, I kept flashing new nightlies without ever wiping or doing a factory reset so I might try this when I get home. Thanks!

I try many ICS roms(>10), none of them make chrome work properly.

But I found one today, the newest cm10 preview 20120723. Chrome work perfectly on my 7310 now.:laugh: Not a ICS rom though
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] teomor:
Even better :)

Thanks! Wiping everything and reinstalling didn't help so I'm gonna try this one. Anything wrong with that ROM, except the camera not working, I assume?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] microlueng:
The best rom I have ever tasted, but you need to back up your favorite apps before installing the new rom, because lots of app are not ready for JB in the market, not allowed to install, including chrome

VIEW IN WEB BROWSER PLEASE, THIS HAS A POLL AND IS NOT VIEWABLE IN THE XDA APP!!! ( in app tap menu, web view)

Just kidding guys! No limited edition, just ANOTHER hardware mod by me!! I THINK, (just my opinion before people start flaming me), I THINK this is how the phone should have come. Clean, simple, and dare i say it... elegant. lol

My other MOD found here... http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12966-hardware-mod-my-evo-lte!!!-) OR here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683083 (I hope no one is mad about my little joke???)

I used a Dremel and some small grinding bits to remove the red from the camera, a wire brush bit to remove the red from the kickstand and covered the top and bottom of the device with carbon fiber vinyl. I also applied a small strip on vinyl under the kickstand just for something different!!!

UPDATE: Link to a how to video (not mine) on YouTube. It's a decent one that gives you an idea of what can be done with this stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhvU8Dk3CE&feature=g-hist

UPDATE 2: http://www.metrorestyling.com/3M-DI-NOC-CARBON-FIBER-VINYL-CA-421-p/dinoc421.htm This is only one of 1,000's places to get the stuff from, its just to give everyone a resourse to read up on it. CHECK THICKNESS OF PRODUCT BEFORE PURCHASING! THANKS Robo for the link!

UPDATE 3: LINK TO A SITE THAT SELLS REPLACEMENT PARTS!! http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-evo-4g-lte.html :More info on page 3, post 4

That looks fantastic, I like that the weave is vertical it just looks better that way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
I did that because everyone else just seems to throw it on there in every which way, which is fine.... but with the lines of this phone being the way they are i thought it would add some elegance to it. thanks for the kind words.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
That looks pretty nice not a carbon fiber fan generally but that looks pretty nice. Is the red kickstand removable for detailing?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Yes, sorry. You can for sure remove it. The phone needs to be disassembled though. Remove top cover and bottom cover, then the 4 screws under the bottom cover and the 5 screws under the top cover. Then the 2 on the left side for the kickstand and the 3 others. Then you can push down on the bottom to seperate the screen and circuitry from the metal rear housing. After you have the metal rear housing seperated from everything else, turn it over to find the other 4 screws that mount the kickstand to the aluminum rear. After those are removed, the kickstand is free!

Thanks for the praise here though!:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
I think it's a long shot that people will be willing to send you there Evo's just for the mod.

I personally wouldn't mind donating a few bucks for a thorough "how-to" video or write up. If I remember correctly, the carbon fiber is really easy to install, all you need is a blow dryer but as far as the kick stand goes, i'm not familiar with sanding and whatnot

Edit: I guess i must eat my words. I didn't see the poll at first.

Regardless, please give us a DIY! I really want to try this (:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Lol. It's ok. Maybe soon I can work up a step by step DIY with pics, I could try a video but I've never done one so can't ensure anything great.

If a kit was ever to be sold, it'd be after the parts were available and Id pre-make them and just ship.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dan_:
Just bought some wrap. I'm going to fill in the little kick stand release hole, where you stick your nail, and carbon fiber cover the whole back in one piece. The little hole might not even need to be filled in, we'll see.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
post pics when its done!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
That is honestly a pretty cool mod for the phone. It just wouldn't be useful for me due to the fact that I use an otterbox case on my phone. I would never get to see the good looking carbon fiber.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
One last question. The bottom does that come off just by pulling on it like the top?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
Wow... that looks REEEEEALLY good! I'd love to do this, but it's kinda pointless since I keep my phone in a case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
No. You need a pry tool of sort, a non-marking, plastic tool to seperate it. Place it at the bottom of the phone, between the metal and the rear cover and push in while making a rocking/prying motion. ( it seems to be a little easier around the corners opposed to the middle).It will sound like a crack, but you're ok. Slide the tool along the seam, stopping to pry again every half inch or so to not break off one of the 3 or 4 little mounting tabs. It will also put up a pretty good fight, there is a adhesive backing under it that's quite sticky. Once the bottom is free, simply lift it up and out. Hope this helped. I'll proved any additional help I can. :)

I've never done tutorials before, this is all very new to me.... And I've never been much for writing! Hell, my girlfriend wrote my last resume for me. Lol. I guess credit goes out to her as well for all this. If she wasn't so patient and understanding of my phone addictions, this would not be possible! :)

So? Sears was selling Craftsman tools way before anyone else and McDonalds was selling burgers looong before Rally's... Do ya see either one of them gripeing??

( YOU got me started now ) You also took the easy way out and covered the whole back cover! Lets review yours versus mine, shall we.

1) you simply covered the top VS the time I took to remove the camera ring, cover the rest and REMOVED THE RED FROM THE CAMERA RING!

2) I removed the red from the kickstand! (nice touch I think, and judging by the comments here, AND other forums, plenty of others think so as well)

3) I covered the bottom as well, not to mention the fact I took the EXTRA time AND effort to lay the patern parallel to lines of device and line them up with the top! Quite elegant as well.

.... With all that being said, please dont come in here acting like your the pioneer of covering things in vinyl! I have been customizing phones for a long time! I've painted HTC Moguls, I've sanded front bezels on HTC Shifts, stripped paint off of Evo's, as well as everything in between and now, I'm continuing to do so here with this device.

Am I the first? Hell no! People were doing things like this long before you or I. So please, get off the high horse, monitor your thread, and don't worry about what I'm doing.

Sincerely, the guy who did a better job than you and made you jealous!

EDIT: I saw on one of the pages of your thread that you did cover the bottom too, so I will gladly eat those words here for all to see. Well congrats. Still, no reason to come in here screaming "i did it first!" Big woop!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quis89:
Is your back plate the white one? Or does the camera cover pop off? I've replaced my kick stand with the silver one but I would prefer the silver ring around my camera rather than the red.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
All part are from the black one. I removed the ring when I did the carbon vinyl and used a Dremel to sand off the red.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quis89:
Ok cool. So the ring wasn't too hard to get out? I was just nervous of breaking it since I didn't know if there was a trick to getting it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Push gently from the outside, you'll see the base on the back start to come up, just pop it out. The little black pegs will hold it place when ya put it back in and it only goes in one way. It's not hard.
[HTC Sensation] jd603:
Trying to track down if the GPS issues i'm having can be coded around without access to the radio code. Any radio after 11.69B on Sensation with seemingly any ROM has bad accuracy issues when using fine GPS while in motion. So RunKeeper , an app that keeps track of your running and distance/speed etc is effectively broken due to this... and altho 11.69A works, it has some other bugs with the latest ROMs so it is annoying me. It's possible there's no controlling things and it needs to be fixed in the radio, thats where i'm looking for some help. I did forward this to RunKeepers developers but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'm sure this impacts other Apps.

The accuracy bounces around enough that when running a straight line down a road, it will bounce to different sides of the street so the app thinks youve run across the street dozens of times while running and it adds up as an additional 1/4 mile of running and throws off all the distance/speed calculations the app does. Previously for years it tracked the straight line you ran and was mostly accurate...

Anyways, thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
wrong form section, try to look a bit better next time this is for q&a. U could delete the radio file from the pdg or something. then install 11.69A and then reinstll fw without the radio in the package ;)
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
You do realize that it is a development section. You suppose to post this in general section.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] jd603:
It does this with 3.32 and 3.33 and all radios newer than 11.69A .. and 11.69A is buggy with new ROMs. Read what I wrote. I asked in Q&A. Try trying to help instead of jumping on someone with pure enjoyment.

I have no trouble changing ROMs, using ADB or even coding Java, but I realize you have the monopoly on development skill and knowledge .. so I thought maybe you had the skill to help me.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
i dont understand it completly i think, u want a scertain radio, get the fw for that radio, flash it via fastboot, then get the newer needed fw and only remove the radio file, it should work idk what u mean.. worked for me with hboot
[HTC Sensation] jd603:
You don't get it. I flashed all the different radios via fastboot already. Latest one that has proper working GPS is 11.69A , which has other bugs in latest ARHD and CM9. GPS works on the others but active/fine GPS is broken and inaccurate. For basic geolocation it would be fine, but for tracking movement and rate of speed etc it's completely broken. It might be hardcoded radio bugs but i'm trying to figure out if perhaps theres something else that can be changed.

So don't just assume that the new guy posting is completely clueless because i'm far from it.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
I didn't ever say that u are the new guy that doesnt know ****, but radio 11.29A works in fw 3.33 to so just flash the radio and your problem is over as far as i know..
[HTC Sensation] jd603:
I did, problem still happened even with 11.69A , just not as badly. It really seems like a non-radio issue at this point. I haven't wiped EFS yet, Trying to find efs wipe tool for sensation, last one i used was for g2 and i dont know if it resides in the same place on sensation

And I must have did that.. Around 5-6 times now.. When I changed the rom

Also I was sooooo cautious first time that I literally dumped those partitions and checked them myself..

So now i believe that you will understand that the efs is at the same partitions

Pretty much what the title says.

A few weeks ago, I (and whoever else) got the chance to take a survey with a $50 payout.

I completed the 3 days of questions and all that good stuff. I didn't get a followup email or anything though.

I was just wondering of anyone has received this $50 or a followup email.

I'm going to call the company who hosted the survey. Ill followup with what they say.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Dang, I forgot about this, they never sent me the info on the follow up, so I never got the chance to participate. Bummer since I would have loved to give T-Mobile a piece of my mind, and gotten $50 for my trouble.

Mainly just asking how what when where why on your One S. How did you hear about it? Are you satisfied? What made pick up the One S? If you were to market it to your friends what would you tell them?

A bunch of nonsense like that. It was a 3 day(5 questions per day).

I talked to support and supposedly it takes 4-6 weeks to get the $50 incentive. "If you don't get it by the end of July call back to get it situated"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazlehd:
today i experienced any phone holders worst nightmare... dropping your pride and joy in water! :eek:

but after this i quickly turned the phone off, used an hairdryer xD and put everything back in, and as if by magic, it was alive!!

although the screen did shatter :/

so is this amazing piece of technology really water proof?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
No it is NOT.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You`re lucky this time, but if you ever send it in for any repair they may deny warranty because of the moisture indicators.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Most phones or any electronic devices for that matter survive a (short) drop in water due to multiple reasons:

- the case is relatively airtight. Water cannot immediately "flood" the device

- Water is a very bad electrical conductor (except if you drop it into saltwater or the unflushed toiled)

As far as conductivity is conserned, it's possible to run naked computers (no case, ...) in purified water.

However there an other issue kicks in: corrosin. Water is a very agressive substance (mainly due to oxygen) and will "eat" away electrical conductors very quickly and cause irreparable damages.

Drying off your phone may not be enough, it's recommended to:

- immediately pull the battery (that's one of the reasons I wouldn't want to get one with built-in battery)

- put it into a bag with dry rice and/or grounded herbs (whatever you have at hand) so that it's completely covered

- put it in a somewhat warm (or sunny) location so that the water vaporates and is taken up by the rice (You may want to stir once a day)

- keep fingers crossed and boot

Note that water-caused damage must not always be visible from the beginning. It's sufficient for a small component to die (e.g. a capacitor) so that in the following days/weeks/months the other parts overload too and the components start failing one after another.

Usually you're fine though.

Defo lucky. Mine was simply rained upon whilst I was abroad and it is now not working - I didn't think of the hairdryer at the time.

but some people have reported the same other forums. "Blumps, drying, works!" :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
No it isn't but in many cases a phone can be resurrected. Most important is to not turn it on until it is fully dry.

My friend dropped his S2 in about 50cm of salt / seawater while we were fishing. Took us a minute to find it. I used a knife to remove the screws and opened it up. Before that I rinsed it in fresh water. Let it dry for about an hour, put it back together and it worked just like before. That was 6 months ago and its still running fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlosTheJackal:
I have a few questions before I go & buy the Nexus 7 that I'm hoping someone can answer

1) I will be rooting my Nexus 7 to change the LCD density (Tablet UI ftw!) What i want to know is will this break an functionality of the Tablet or apps? I've heard of Google Play Movies no longer working with root, is this true?

2) Does the Nexus 7 have an LED light on it?

3) Will I still be able to get official updates if the device is rooted & if so what will happen when I apply the update? (I only plan to change the LCD density & that is all)

Thank in advance guys & girls (:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
1) there are mixed opinions on that. I've seen people posting that it does. I've seen people posting that it doesn't. its a matter of playing with the values but comes at risk of your device not booting up. plenty of people got in a bind over it. I've seen 160 being a good value. those 170 ones seem to cause alot of issues although some still had issues with 160. its sketchy..lol. I believe there is a workaround for the Google movies to play while rooted. can't remwber where its at.

2)No, not that I've seen or noticed. you have to turn screen on to tell if its fully charged or not. you could always install a battery app that sets off a notification or sound when its fully charged.

3) technically, yes you should be able to still receive updates if rooted. just make sure to use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to backup/save your root first. then you update(in which you will loose root) as you normally would unrooted. then open voodoo app up and press the restore tab to restore your backed up root file and now you rooted after new update.

now the kicker is that alot of times if you change something in system files or make build.prop changes, the Over The Air(OTA) update will fail. As it runs prechecks for those files to be stock configuration before it applies the update. when it detects something is changed, it fails. now you could just manually install the update and it "should" override all of that. its the complete update and doesn't run those particular checks, I believe. most of the time, from what I've heard, the OTA only updates certain files or whatever that has been updated in new release. Manually updating gives the complete updating of everything(I could be wrong though). kinda like installing the whole updated firmware into nexus vs. OTA just updating certain files.

now with you changing the LCD density n all that, I'm not sure if it'll cause update to fail. if changing that resides in system files or build.prop, then it will likely fail. hopefully someone else will chime in on this also.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
1. Some apps only support certain LCD densities so if you change the density to something uncommon, some apps might not show up in the store. I'm not sure about the root and movie situation.

2. If you mean a notification LED, then no.

3. If all you do is root (no custom recovery or ROM), then you'll still get updates. If you apply the update, then you'll lose root.
