[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
ES File Explorer is an essential app to have, rooted or not. Installit, go to settibgs and allow root features. If you see the su grant permissions popup, you're rooted.

Could be wrong but i thought you had to unroot to be unrooted. I didnt think a factory reset alone was enough to unroot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Hard reset does not remove root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hanielserrato:
Thanks for the quick reply's. About the unrooting process, I was also told at another forum that you have to unroot to be unrooted. A factory reset wont unroot. Ill try these tips later and see if Im rooted or not. Can anyone tell me about any good roms for the razr, or should I just stick with stock? Whats the highest the razr has been overclocked to? Thanks again.

Just wanted to let you know I tried titanium and es file explorer and both were allowed root acces. So I am rooted!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gowns:
For some reason every time I've opened up a browser or reader app on my nexus recently, text-to-speech likes to dictate whatever I'm reading to me. I don't have this function turned on.

I haven't changed any settings on my phone recently so not sure why this is happening... is there some way I can turn it off?! I've tried toggling text-to-speech on and off and also doing a soft reset but no luck.

There must be some way to turn it off? :(

Hello

I came from black berry so little confused on everything. Can somebody help me understand some of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They're branches of ROM development. Different individuals and teams work on their own ROMs and distribute them regularly. They each have their own features, looks and performance tweaks that they think are best.

As a quick start, "AOSP" is the Android Open Source Project. Google maintains the open source Android code, and individuals can pull from it and build their own ROMs off of that. So when someone says their ROM is "AOSP based", they're saying that they pulled the source from Google then modified it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
And like-wise with CM10/AOKP they provide their own source code.

CM10 = Cyanogenmod team. A very popular ROM. They do have their own ROM but also provide their own source code for those wanting to start with an already modified base. As an example CM10 based ROMs usually come with certain additional features like the CM kernel, profiles, etc.

AOKP = Android Open Kang Project. As the name suggests it is also the same idea. A source code provided by a developer of a Popular ROM (AOKP) for other users to use. Also comes with features not included in the base AOSP ROM

If any of that is wrong someone will correct me I'm sure :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realnotion:
Hello all,

First time poster. I did some research, but would still like to get a clear general direction to go about my situation, as there may be some mistake to avoid.

Purchased used Evo4G late 2010. Unrooted, 2.2, Sense ROM. I rooted the phone, upgraded Hboot (to 0.97) and added SmelkusMOD recovery. I never used with any service provider. Just checked with Sprint. ESN is clean, and no money's owed; ready for activation. I also listed all the tech specs below.

Here's what I have/need. I don't want to use this phone with Sprint. I wish to get it activated with no contract or whatever, and then promptly flash it to Cricket, but as it stands now, there is not even a phone number to work with. When I was on the phone with Sprint about the ESN status, they were itching to activate and sign me up on the spot. But the bottom line is that I would actually prefer if Sprint didn't get any of my personal info in the first place.

Where do I start?

* Who do I get a new phone number from? Sprint or Cricket?

* How do I activate the phone (through Sprint only?) without any contract.

There're a lot of guides on flashing to Cricket, but what exactly must be done in my case before the phone is ready to be flashed to Cricket PayGo?

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Some specs:

OS version: 2.2

SW version: 2.26.651.6

Radio version: 2.15.00.07.28

hopefully you've seen this guide (or something like it)

after this process, you need to activate an account with cricket and your phone, and you'll be good to go.

So I've seen some other threads on Swype dictionaries, but none on going from the old Swype to the new Swype beta. Does anyone know how I can copy my dictionary to the new Swype Beta? I was always able to use titanium backup before, but with the addition of Beta to the name, it's now a no-go. Oh, and I'd prefer to not use adb or a generic re-type everything method. Thanks!

I second you on that. The One X+ looks like it'd be a great phone; however I don't think I would get it at all. I should have just gotten a Nexus device after HTC decided not update the Mytouch 4G to ICS, but I figured I would give them another shot. After how they've handled the Amaze 4G though, I think I'm done with HTC and non Nexus devices.This will most likely be my last HTC device unless they create the next Nexus, which I'm assuming is going to be Samsung yet again.

#1 HTC is snapdragon all day, tegra 3 I call B.S. & the new quad core s4 is pissing on every mobile soc out the 134fps closest to it was like 90fps & most hovered around 60fps. Plus the 28nm is much more thermally efficient. With that and the ardent 320 tegra 3 can suck it. Most HTC phones are snapdragon especially on T-Mobile.

& why go from a 2mp front cam to a 1.3mp? Upgrade I think not.

I can see where you're coming from but if this phone doesn't turn into another MyTouch 4g Slide or Amaze in terms of development I don't see the problem with it having Sense. If it goes the way of the MyTouch 4g I'd be all over it. Sense doesn't make it the end all deal breaker. Development for the MyTouch 4g makes me a believer that there is still hope for HTC's recent and up and coming models.....

I'd be willing to bet money that the 1080p spec for the screen is wrong. It's excessively priced, and will drain battery life and GPU power to produce finer graphics than the human eye can effectively perceive.

I firmly believe that our device was the first and last HTC well-spec device ever developed and we may never see a device like this again in the near future unless HTC pulls some kind of engineering marvel to make it more appealing to consumers with little to no flaws. I'm planning to keep this device because of its build quality and premium feel. If ONE X+ was trully a successor to the amaze - they should have atleast came out with an amaze form-like factor but slimmer maybe that will resemble its roots. Keep all the hard to find features such as dedicated cam and video shutters.. improved front facing camera megapixel and preferrably 12 megapixels or higher resolution on the rear? And please NO SCREEN BLEED issue!... it's not so much to ask lol... from dual-core S3 1.5 to quad-core S4 2 ghz perhaps?.. and please..

[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I am gonna be moving on soon. Tired of the poor battery life on this phone since switching to ICS and doing everything I could to try and correct it to no avail. That and the BT/streaming is constantly buggin out. Gonna be my last HTC phone for awhile, or maybe Android period.

I am sure I will catch slack for this, but if BB10 comes out I will be going back to my blackberry. I don't care how low the market is, so as long as they don't get bought out. Always liked my BB.

I will say the Note is inticing, but I am sure my joy would die down with that quick like as well.

[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
Battery-wise - i managed to squeeze an extra 10-12 more hours with little to moderate use just by turning off auto sync and downloading juicedefender. If you have not try the app i highly recommend it as it shuts down your network connection temporarily when you power off (vice versa).
[HTC Amaze 4G] paperWastage:
definitely this...

my %/hour usage goes to a flat-line 1.5%/hour with data off.... jumps around between 3% and 10% with data+sync on...

say 10 hours is your workday....

1.5% @ 10 hours = 15% of battery.... 5% @ 10 hours = 50% of battery..... its huge savings - 35%, enough to make it last double during idle

however, I remember my Optimus T having crappy battery life with data on for about a week after flashing ICS, then the idle battery usage went down, like the sync figured out how active my accounts were and adjusted.... still hoping my amaze 4G ICS will get there... its been almost a week though
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
The reason why I left the amaze was cause the battery and development (which isn't devs fault) after work I would usually have about 10-15% battery left with the amaze, brightness at 20%, auto sync off, GPS WiFi etc all off....also juice defender

With my galaxy nexus I left work with 67% and actually used it a lot more than the amaze, also I had brightness at 50%, auto sync on, no juice defender..Facebook and texts occasionally

I do miss the camera on my amaze and the great build quality. :'( (still have the phone)
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:


I have juice defender on majority of the time, but have to shut it off when streaming either iHeart radio or Pandora as it takes forever to switch to next song.

camera quality

Is poorer photo quality (compared to the Amaze) a result of software or hardware on One X?

I haven't played around much with the One X demos but I prefer the colour displays of the Amaze over S2 and S3. To my eye, colours on the Samsung phones look too saturated. And the heft of the Amaze just feels better in the hand
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I felt the same way, until you get used to it, watching finding nemo, up, or any cartoonish movie on an amoled display is mind blowingly clear and saturated. But not TOO saturated. I do prefer the amaze screen when it comes to anything other than that. But u do get used to it. I went back to the amaze and the screen felt so washed out and even more when viewing on an angle
