In the Setting

To remove the persistent Google search bar on CM10 go to System Settings>>Launcher>>Homescreen>>Uncheck the "Search bar" box.

That is exactly where I find the setting in CM10 on mine. I didn't ever use CM9.

Hi Everyone,

This is my wife's phone, so i'm not very familar with it. She handed it to me today saying to won't boot. If connected to a charger, the screen would come on saying "RDS protocol starting..." and "Battery too low to flash".

After doing a little research her, I asked her if it had asked to do an update. She said yes, but that she's been hitting "no". So i guess it's been asking her for a while. I'm assuming she either hit yes, or it went ahead and did a force install anyway.

I took it to Sprint and they told me there was nothing they could do but replace it, which they have ordered the replacement, but that they cannot recovery anything from the internal memory (pictures, contacts, etc).

So all I need to do is get the phone working enough to get data off of it, if at all possible.

The phone has NEVER been rooted. The bootloader is NOT unlocked. She's never let me touch it before.

I have no idea what version it was on (think it was 2.3.4) nor what version the OTA was trying to install.

I recharged the battery a little using a usb cable with the end cutoff and attached the red/black wires to the +/- pins. (about 30 mins or so). The "Battery too low to flash' message is gone and the phone is recognized in RDS Lite (good sign I hope).

Can I just flash "1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.zip" to it using RDS Lite? Or should I use a later version like 198_7? I downloaded the 154_5 from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20331570&postcount=3)

I eagerly await a helping hand.

Thanks,

EB
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Hmm, it varies.

I will try to help you, when I will get some more time today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Euclid's Brother:
Thanks.. looking forward to hearing from you. All I really need is to be able to get pictures and contacts off of it.. and perhaps SMS history. I don't care if any of the services work, since Sprint is sending us a replacement phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Modo-mopho:
I thought I remembered seeing somewhere where there is a way to block this update from installing

but i cant find it ( i tried lol)

can you or someone please tell me how to do it

i keep hitting later but ive read that at some point it can just download and install anyways and i really dont want that

thanx
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Contacts are synced to googles servers, so that's not a problem. As far as pictures, were they on the sd card or internal phone storage? If on sdcard, just put the card in a card reader on a laptop or pc. Or you may be able to install bootstrap recovery and mount either internal or sdcard. Or, if you were on 2.3.4, flashing any of those sbfs will work.

You can block the update by changing a line in the buildprop. But that would require being rooted. Id sbf then do the update immediately after since she obviously doesn't care about root or unlock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Euclid's Brother:
Thanks.. I'm sure the pictures are on the internal sdcard. It's the pictures taken by the camera over the past few months. I already have older ones copied to my PC.

peetr_ sent me a custom sbf for an unlocked bootloader + twrp. I'll try that when I get home to see if i can get into that way. (Thanks peetr_)

I'll keep everyone posted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Modo-mopho:
What line in the build.prop file do I change?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Can't remember ill try to find out for ya.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Euclid's Brother:
HUGE thanks to peetr_ for all the help he gave me. I managed to get it booted into Electrify and saved everything I needed. *whew*

I now believe the whole issue was not a failed update, but a sticky volume button that's causing it to go to RSD mode. Whenever I power it down, then backup, it always goes direct to RSD mode. But then I can pull the battery, put it back in.. then hit the non-volume side of the phone against the heel of my hand (fairly hard) 5 or 6 times, then power it on, and it boots normally. Then while it's running, I'll see the volumne adjust up and down randomly.

Then if i reboot it, it's back to the RSD mode.

It doesn't work every time, but I've managed to boot it several times like that.

Hey guys i have a problem while using go sms pro, when i send messages it says that the messages are sent and received, but on the targets phone they say that my messages aren't there yet so i have to sent it all again, but sometimes it just still like that and sometimes i can't receive any messages

I deleted my stock messaging and only use go sms as my default, is there anyone could help me?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ishis99:
I dont have problem in GOSMS PRO like yours, but you can try Viber on market, its free SMS and CALL as long as your friend, sister, brother have Viber installed on their phone. It only needs Wifi or 3g. If you use Wifi, its free ofcourse, but for 3g, it depends on the plan you have.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
Is that okay to remove the stock messaging and replace it with the third party apps?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] GPYoung:
I would not remove stock text app.

Rather, go settings, apps and force close it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Yes but keep a backup of the stock messaging app...

_____ W + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____

If you want, I can upload the stock messaging app's .apk so you can reinstall it...

_____ W + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
I have my backup of it. But I'm just a little curious on the problem. Does this problem comes because I delete the stock messaging? Or it's just my operator?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] willypt:
It's operator side
[LG Optimus Black] isilter:
I'm just wondering, is it better to use auto data on/off apps to save battery or just leave it open always. Because auto on/off apps wakes up the CPU in deep sleep and it causes more battery usage than sleep mode. Leaving the data always on doesn't wakes up the phone until a notification or app update but otherwise, it causes battery usage to keep data on. I can't decide what to do and I can't see a clear difference between them. So, which is better?
[LG Optimus Black] duke_dreadmoore:
I don't know much about technical, but based on my experience, with data always on but Juice Defender set to switch on data every 15 minutes interval will save battery better than leaving it always on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
I got a new nightstand lamp that has an A/C outlet built into it and a slot for my cell phone. Instead of having an extra foot of cord on my nightstand I figured I'd get a very short usb to micro usb cord. Instead of buying one I just assumed re-wire it to shorten it. Everything went ok after the first wiring and the charge was working but after moving it around a bit it stopped charging. My phone then did one hard reset then another and after the second one my phone would not turn on. When I first got the phone it did this when I used an auto-root program on the PC but after I played with sd card it finally booted back. This time I fear the worst. I believe I may have dangerously undervolted it but can't be sure. I'm either bricked or need to do an internal battery pull. Does anyone have any expertise where they could definitively say if I'm bricked or not? My led light isn't turning on at all, not even when plugged into power source.

EDIT : now I fear the worst. If I am s-off and I brick the phone is it a perma-brick. Really in need of someones expertise here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Sounds to me like trying to save $3 killed your $500 phone..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
if you plug into a pc does it show up at all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcvoss:
I bet its bricked. There are a Bunch of similar threads.this phone is picky about the charger being used. I and many others bricked their phone by not using the original charger that came with the phone. I assume its toasting the battery. Sorry for the bad news
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrjasenr:
I really dont think undervolting it would brick it. I am no expert, I don't think that would do it in. Now on the other hand did you end up giving it 120 volts by plugging it straight into an outlet, I'm not positive but I think the power supplies that come with the phone use a transformer in them

to reduce line voltage. If thats the case you more then likely fried the battery. But like I said, not an expert.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcvoss:
Mine did it using a, charger that was only 750ma, stock charger is 1amp. It did a reboot and never came back on it was at 40 percent battery when i plugged it in. After that reboot no leds, just dead. Others have said the same thing. All i know is I'm sticking with a 1amps charger.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Looks like its time to get the RUU for Jewel, including the current OTA? Ur looking at a blank slate.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
Have you tried a different cord and is it recognized by a computer?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
Thanks for all the feedback it's good to feel I'm not alone in this. So to answer everyones questions simultaneously I did try everything in the book without the re-wired cord to get it to boot. I used a good cord in the PC and A/C, I tried lazypanda unbrick and the phone wasn't recognized at all by terminal in ubuntu. I tried holding the power button for 10s, 20s, 30s and 60s and not even a dim led was lit. I tried removing the sd card a couple times wouldnt power on with or without it. I opened the phone and did an internal battery disconnect and reconnect, nothing. On the other hand i bought a new one on ebay but a few of you have said here it was the battery that I fried which makes me wonder if I could buy a new one and possibly get this thing running and turn around and sell it on ebay to recoup the losses. I do firmly believe it must've been a surge because of the cord, but I thought the phone has a protection circuit and would shut down before any serious damage occurs but maybe thats only to the other hardware elements like the cpu and memory.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
I ordered a case from them for my ipad and had to get my credit card company involved to get my money back after receiving a broken ipad case. It had a crack where they glue it together. They dont use one piece of wood.

Search them on the web and you will see that they have scammed and screwed over plenty of people. Enough to where Leo Laporte even commented. Could be a different Leo than the Tech, but its still a person. MacRumors, Android Central, and multiple other places have negative comments about these guys. I wouldn't be surprised if they fold and take the cash and not deliver.

To each his own but Im going Portenzo. Lea took care of me when I ordered my iPad case and it held up well. I sold it and got almost what I paid for it. Their build quality is like nothing else.

Check the YouTube Video DODO vs. Portenzo iPad 3 case review. Two enter, one leaves. It is going to be a knockout.

Its a review on their iPad 3 case but it compares theirs and DoDos build quality. No comparison. The review is also entertaining in its own way. Not like sitting through some review where the buy lays the product on a table and points the camera at it while he tries to act the a journalist. I dont think this guys actually cares other than to show people DoDo sucks. He also appears to have a coctail. :)

Does anyone else know of a great case like the Portenzo to recommend? Even though Port looks like the one it never hurts to look. You guys are the experts.

*Sorry for not posting links. Im not a poster on here, just a lurker. Sorry!!! Ill be getting more involved now.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Hexdecimal:
This guy is just trying to get video views.

I was curious (because I'm a fan of Leo Laporte), and all I could find was this guy's post everywhere leading to the same video mentioned here: pushing Portenzo, bashing Dodocase, and mad at Treegloo. He never even got a Treegloo case and here he's saying it broke?

I don't know if this is some kind of lame tactic to push Portenzo sales, but it's in really bad taste.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dietanson:
Regardless of if this guy is trying to get video views I've heard portenza cases were pretty good. A little pricey for me but from reviews they seem like the route to go for these kinds of cases.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sepffuzzball:
I will say the one TG case that I've seen in person, one of the corners was completely broken off (iPad).

I asked the guy (business executive for a major software company) and he said that he broke it off within 2 weeks of having it, and the case wasn't as sturdy as he expected. He still liked it though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Bobb_o:
I'm just going to buy a hardback book/notebook and hollow out the pages and make a case myself. I don't see the need to pay ~$40 bucks when I can do the same thing myself for so much cheaper.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arrjaytea:
This just reeks of spam.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
Hexdecimal who do you work for TreeGloo?

I had to take a look at your few posts. You have been pitching TreeGloo and no one else. Your accusing me when in half of your posts you are promoting a feature of TreeGloo case or ragging on someone elses. I simply have an agenda of telling people about how they might get crap or get screwed by TreeGloo. I like plenty of case companies but thats not one of them and right now I like Portenzo but that does not make me an employee of theirs. I have at least spoke highly of a couple other companies in my posts in the past such as Pad and Quill and RookCase. All your comments about other companies other than TreeGloo are negative. You even go into some technical specifics about their case. Its not me that should be looked as a spammer, its you.

Instead of simply talking about your experience with TreeGloo, you dont even mention it. Instead you try to discredit my entire post so you dont leave people with the thought that I might actually be right. What a hoax. You can make all the claims you want (seems they are just your claims) but there are plenty of other posts including an entire thread on MacRumors started by their most senior member calling TreeGloo crooks. Enough time spent on this... Home someone sees through the TreeGloo bs by this guy and stays clear of them. Look at the others, there are plenty of companies to buy from that dont have their reputation of screwing people over and delivering crap products that dont match their site.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
There have been a lot of negative reviews of TreeGloo, for long waits/sub par quality. That being said, there have also been plenty of negative reviews about DoDoCase as they are always falling apart and have to be glued back together and Portenzo as well for the significantly long delivery/production times. In the dealings that I have had with TreeGloo they have shown great customer service so I can't speak negatively of them anymore than I could of DoDo or Potenzo.

I had initially wanted to go with TreeGloo then changed my mind to Portenzo, and TreeGloo was good about cancelling my order but my $$$$ have not yet been refunded yet. Now, Ive decided to to play a wait and see game until I have more information and other people start reviewing thier respective cases. I really love how thin and light my N7 is and I constantly question whether I even want to add a bulky frame to it. I am still intrigued by Portenzo and TreeGloo and now Reauthored and RookCase so I will likely go with the case that gets the best reviews and is the thinnest of the bunch.

There are a lot of options for very similiar cases out there. I just suggest that people do their reserach. It is worth mentioning, however that TreeGloo is rated "F" on better business bureau.

http://jimmyliew.org/review-of-my-treegloo-ipad-case/

http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-accessories/40566-bad-experience-w-treegloo.html

Just a couple pages with someone posted a "I never got my Treegloo", and several people afterwards replying "me either!". Those are just two random links I clicked when Google'd for "Treegloo". Not even "Treegloo review" or anything else... So, IF you get what you order that's great, otherwise you apparently pay them for the privilege of using their fabulous website.

And ameno13, stop being a damn child. Geez...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Character Zero:
All the research I had done was all a year old. Newer posts seemed to indicate things had gotten better. All my emails have been promptly responded to. It seems the negativity was due to being overwhelmed with iPad2 orders back in 2011. We will see how it goes when they start shipping next week.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ppp38:
I think that TreeGloo is just a small company that probably cannot manage high volume that well, which is why the production time goes on for weeks. That has been an issue with other companies as well. I don't think its an issue of "scamming" or being a crook. And, I also have noticed that they have changed their design from the 2011 reviews particuarlly their corners. I think a lot of people want customization but are unwilling to wait on the time it actually takes for their customized case to get made.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] allen2oo3:
I thought the company sounded familiar but never though about it until now. A lot of people have had problems with this company and iPad cases. Thanks for the heads up
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
You make a good point about being a small company and time for delivery but it doesnt explain the compaints from users on several sites and the bbb F.

Thank you for bringing this part up about waiting. If they would have not told me the case had been shipped and another two weeks went by, I might have given them some grace. I would have been more understanding if they would have just told me the truth rather than make me wait a month and then cancel my order because I complained and asked why it wasnt actually shipped. They they wouldnt refund my money until amex forced the refund. Maybe they will straighten out. Competition is good for everyone. It makes all the companies innovate to one up their competition which only helps us. If they turn around and start to treat people with respect and integrity and deliver, more power to them. I wish them the best in that case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
Not worth getting angry over. It may appear that way though

Not mad, just sick of companies not telling the truth and getting screwed over. I actually have an awesome iPad case now and will have a killer Nexus case shortly.

I understand why you asked but I wanted to be thorough in my response. My word and Im sure that the integrity of others here is everything. When that's in question its best to defend it with facts. I tried to do that along with explaining my personal experience. Im sorry if I offended anyone on this forum. I was truly just trying to help by sharing what I know and my own experience. I hope you understand. If this is not the right place for this type of information, please just let me know.

I dont really want to spend any more time on this subject. I think I have said enough. My critics and TreeGloo backers or employees can continue to try and discredit the thread but there is enough evidence here and around the web to back up most of what I said.

All my best,
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
This was my whole reason for the post and it turned into a total fiasco. It makes me not want to say anything on here. There is no way of telling if you are getting hosed by the company in question of a real android fan that likes the company which I can respect and mean no hard feelings.

We all share a passion for this stuff and should work together.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lin013190:
I'll give a review of my treegloo when it comes it. All the bad stuff I read was rom pre 2011, all the more recent ones i read are great.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Semantics:
I agree, Treeglo is junk. I have owned one of their cases quite some time ago, and it was a pretty terrible product for the price. They have the worst CS in the industry that I have seen. Don't let these 12 year old trolls whose vocabulary consists of nothing more than internet speech, like "u mad bro", dissuade you from pointing out the flaws of this company. I wouldn't buy another product from them, ever.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
My experience was 2012 and so were others. The BBB is current. Good luck and I hope they did get there act together. Im looking forward to your review.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ipXpert:
Thanks, it totally bums me out that people attack for trying to help. I do appreciate you bringing up your experience with them as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I now take BBB with a grain of salt. Because our firm was offered to be included in the BBB listings but they require a fee to do so. And when we asked, so we just give you money and you'll let us be listed without any qualifications? They said..."yeah but I'll double check with my manager"...

Not to detract from your experience. But looking at the cases and discussions, I will give them a shot. I looked at all the other cases that are like the treegloo and I like their "styles" the best.

And as to helping, thanks for it, we are always looking for other's opinions on stuff like this, but you have to understand that based on the amount of posts you had before posting this thread, it looked suspect. You could have easily been someone just making a profile to post a negative or positive review on things. Facebook and other forums suffer from this all the time to respond to negative press.

Well back to treegloo and hope they read and address our concerns! I mean they have been great in responding to questions on their G+ page so that is great for communication-wise in my book.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] arvonn:
This place is terrible. I placed an Order Nov 7th - and I have got nothing but the run around.

I have tried to be mature, and I have tried to be nice and accomodating.

If they reply via email (they certainly do not answer the phone) - they give out incorrect information, and it mostly sounds made up.

This place is either not legitimate, or they are just terrible.

IF I had been smart, and done my research properly, I would have never done business with them - e.g. a BBB rating of F is completely accurate.

Also, I have had good luck with BBB in the past, when I had a legitmate complaint about business, I complained to business first, the business told me were to stick my complaint, so I complained to BBB and the business turned around 100% and refunded my money - because it was a legitimate complaint. So they did the right thing in the end.

But a BBB of F.. I'm just plain screwed..Sigh.
