hey guys,

thanks for the post and the info. I am hoping I can get some help. I recently upgraded to a new ATT - HTC Vivid. I guess I was impatient in wanting to root and flash ROM so I used the [TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 to "un-lock bootloader" and get root. Afterwards I realized the phone had/has old software/rom (no ICS beats audio etc) - I tried updating the software manually and it would not take - kept getting error messege. Then I got notification that ATT/HTC was trying to "push" the update to my phone but when I tried to install the update it would not work. I keep getting what looks like a dead android with chest open with red exclamation point. I tried a few times and still nothing. so after some research I came across this thread. I am still a "noob" at this I guess so I could really use some help, please. I believe I have to "re-lock bootlaoder" but I am confused as to how to go about this. for example, how do you, "TRY FLASHING THE WCXRECOVERY.IMG USING FASTBOOT FIRST?" - please help! lol like I said - I'm still a noob I guess

I tried the video but it only further confused me

please help!!!! I really need it. I tried using your tutorial to re-lock my Vivid and update ROM to ICS. I got through the first part where I re-locked the phone ut when I got to the part to "unlock" again before flashing recovery I get the "Unlock bootloader" screen and I use volume button to select yes and hit power button but that's it - it's stuck at that scree and will not go further. now my phone won't start normally if I try etc and I even got a red exclamation etc - Please help, I dont know what I did wrong but now I have no phone!!!!!

Thanks a bunch for any and all help
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Go to htcdev .com and do the relock process then once your relocked down load the art ruu for ics and run the prog on ur pc should do the trick then unlock boot loader and proceed

Don't hesitate to ask ask ask questions I had to plenty just a week ago
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ayulatins:
It'll be easier to get your phone to fastboot mode and enter this command from your PC to relock:

fastboot oem lock
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah you can't update with a unlocked bootloader just relock and your all good
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
I already "re-locked" but the update did not take.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Have you tried using that ruu that I linked in your other thread? It's a different ruu then the one you mentioned in your other thread...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
Yes, I tried but it got stuck at 34% and when I unplugged to try again I got black HTC screen with four exclamation points in the corners and I can get to bootloader anymore...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I know every time I've ran an ruu its paused for a while, unplugging is a bad idea dude. You might have bricked it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
:( that sucks!!!! serious?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gentleart:
Is there a setting or app for this?

It would have to function only when the camera is running of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This doesn't answer your question directly but it is effective and doesn't involve tapping the phone which could potentially blur your picture. Why not ensure that Voice Cmd is selected under Settings/Language & Input/Voice Cmd? Then when taking pics literally say: cheese, capture, take, etc. These commands will take pics for you without you having to lift a finger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
What if you're in a nightclub?

VERIZON GALAXY S 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gentleart:
Actually, I did set up that option on day one. Thanks for reminding me! lol

I'm never in a night club, but will probably be in places where VC will not work.

So, I'll use VC until someone makes an app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XVicarious:
Is the sprint version compatible with the Verizon network? With some unlocking or something?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
No

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XVicarious:
Um.... can you elaborate on why? From what I saw they are very very similar just the carrier firmware/ is different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The frequencies are different. And Verizon/Sprint won't activate phones of each other's networks anyway even if they were compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XVicarious:
So there is no way to change said frequencies? And thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I honestly haven't really looked into it, but as far as I know, the LTE/4G radio is different, but the CDMA radio should be the same. So, if you can find someone at Verizon that would be willing to activate a non-Verizon phone (extremely unlikely I would say), then you should be able to get regular, non-LTE Verizon service on a Sprint device, assuming the firmware was flashed properly. The guys in this thread have made some progress on CDMA devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animal24:
you could, but you wouldn't have 4g. The same way you'd flash a verizon nexus to cricket, you'd flash it to sprint. There are already small mods out there to get a sprint g'nex to operate on verizons bands, so to me, that proves the hardware works. The only thing wierd about the sprint version is its embedded sim. Its worth a shot, but good luck getting anyone to do the leg work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XVicarious:
Interesting. I might have a few connections at Verizon Wireless retail stores. A friend of mine, his mother works at one. So I might be able to get her to activate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
Its not as simple as just activating it. At Verizon, our 4g phones are activated by the sim, not the imei. If the sim is not in Verizon's system, it will give a sim validation error.

Even with 3g phones like the iPhone, if the imei is not in Verizon's system, it will give a device validation error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animal24:
Your right. I was thinking the other way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just... buy a Verizon model? Why would you take a Sprint model and gimp yourself to Verizon 3G, dealing with the hassle, when you can very simply and cheaply buy a Verizon one with LTE and

absolutely no hassle

.
[General Questions and Answers] nero8762:
I moved out in the country in TN. My SGS2 with sprint gets horrible reception, and almost no 3g unless i sit on the porch. I'm going to switch to Verizon who i know gets better service in my area. Looking at DRM or SGS3, moto has always had better antennas in my opinion. Any personal experience or advice would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] jaidlion:
I used anycut and flashed a new prl with roam control set to roam only I have unlimited service on sprint in areas where I know service is good.. but it's all a precursor to flashing over to straight talk
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the_BN:
Hi, I'm new to posting on these forums but I have been on here for a while and appreciate the work of the devs on the roms available. I have a problem, and I haven't been able to find any threads of anyone having this problem before.

My Infuse was stock froyo and working fine. I then updated it to stock 2.3.6 with ODIN with option c from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613523

After that, I immediately updated it to the unofficial cm9 and the problems started. The phone would work fine, but in about 10 minutes of use, it would restart by itself and go into a boot loop. Sometimes the samsung logo would loop only twice and restart. Other times it can loop up to 50 times before restarting.

I noticed I had a rainbow CWM screen so I updated to the GB bootloader through ODIN. Didn't work. I then went back to stock 2.3.6 with odin. Didn't work. I then went back to stock 2.2 froyo through ODIN and re-partioned the PIT file. Still boot loops. I'm stumped.

Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I appreciate it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
So you are able to enter download mode and successfully flash something? Somehow something appears to have been corrupted..

My only suggestion would be to try "one click unbrick" and see if that does the job

Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the_BN:
All of the "one click unbricks" say that it isn't necessary if the phone is able to enter download mode. Is it still ok to try?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the_BN:
tried one click unbrick and it wouldn't allow me to use it. I then tried going to stock 2.3.6 using heimdall and still have the same problem.

I don't think its a problem with the rom, it has to be something else. But its not a hardware problem since it started once I used ODIN for the first time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
That's strange.. one click unbrick should have been able to run and reboot your phone. It probably would not solve your problem but should have at least ran successfully.

Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the_BN:
one click unbrick just said something like, "if the phone is plugged in and everything is fine then visit resolution center".
[General Questions and Answers] quang010692:
Hi there,

What processor should I get if I want my tablet to play most of Full HD movies out there, in any codecs? How come a FHD video file can be played flawlessly on a PC with dualcore processor, but cant on a tablet?

Thanx
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
I'm guessing because of screen resolution. What tablet do you own?
[General Questions and Answers] quang010692:
Hi,

Sorry for not being clear, I am going to purchase my 1st tablet, so I need to ask this question :)

I will likely purchase a tablet with high res screen (approximately FHD).
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
I can play 1080p 3D video fine on my mk802 which has a single core arm cpu running at 912 mhz using ice cream sandwich.

Maybe better option would be to give an idea of how much you can spend and what sort of uses you want from a tablet (eg gaming) and then people could recommend the best featured tablets that suit your budget?

[General Questions and Answers] quang010692:
Hi,

Thank for your suggestion. My main usage is as follows:

Watch 1080p movie in various formats and codec, source is shared via network driver (DLNA or streaming using VLC), output to TV.

A good audio output and screen with 200+ pixel density

Checking email, facebook, read news etc.,

Video Chatting with my family.

Game and other apps (no need for hardware-killer games)

Price as low as possible, of course ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannus:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100G bought in China in March, now I am back to my country in Europe, and I would like to put a European Android version into it, but it seems to be impossible. There is a block in my phone, which doesn't let to run any other android than Chinese.

Do you have any idea how to handle this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
chinese phones can only flash chinese roms

i believe the latest version is 4.0.4

or

u can also download it using checkfus or from www.samfirmwae.com
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannus:
Thank you very much. In that case I have to buy a new phone:((( because the Chinese version is censored and full of restrictions, so it is impossible to use it normally in Europe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
wat kinda restrictions u talkin abt
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannus:
I cant use google play - they were finally able to put it to my phone here, but it doesnt work, says "server problem".

I can not watch youtube video.

Skype runs very strange

It just doesn't write my number here, so when I am calling somebody its always an "unknown" number...

So it is a little bit troublesome, I think if I had a European android, it would be a lot better.And what is more, in my country only i9100 is selled, so there is no programs and updates for i9100G.(I thought that I have a i9100, i was told in the phone service that I don't...).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
try flashing the latest chinese rom and check if it fixes the prob
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannus:
In China this things are not allowed to use.(like youtube, androidmarket, google, facebook, etc).

So the only solution would be to put a non chinese android into it, but if you too say that it is not posibble, then I dont have any other choice that buy a new phone in europe.

Before I bought my phone I asked phone-experts in my country, and I was told that if its and android phone, it can be easily updated with my countries android software if I came back. They didn't know that you cant do this with a Chinese phone.

I have studied in China, but for sure, I will never ever buy anything valuable for a long-term there anymore.

Thank your very very much for the information and for your help!:victory::laugh:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
If i were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and type in my device model and see what android versions come up. You might find a european G android version. Then all you have to do is flash the firmware through odin :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
he is having a chinese g variant which is different one other g variants so if he flashes the firmware for international g varaint they he will semi brick his phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hannus:
it doesn't run any other android than Chinese, the service guy told me that they tried all the non-Chinese Ice Cream Sandwiches, and older versions of android as well, and none of them worked.

Now I am happy that they didn't manage to do this, because I don't want to brick my phone(i suppose it means something bad), I think someone can use this happily in China, because it works perfect.

So the best choice would be to sell my phone in china, and buy a new one (i9100) in Europe:)

:victory:Thank you very much!
[HTC Rezound] zZDave_Stud:
Okay so here's my deal. In my area I know that we have 4G, but my phone doesn't pick it up, its only on 3G. Sometimes if I play around with the hidden service menu I can pick up 4G but as soon as I send a text message, it switches to 1X until I reboot into CDMA+LTE/EVDo. Even when selecting that mode, I only pick up 3G even though I'm in a 4G area. Some background info: I'm on GB firmware and radios and running NeoMax 1.1 based on the latest leak. I'm also S-On. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[HTC Rezound] hchristy2013:
I have been having that issue as well, fully stock. I called C/S they are supposedly having some issues with their towers in Maryland/PA.

[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
I have lost 4g from jumping from Rom to Rom. I ruued and it brought it back. Not stating that this is what your problem is, but it helped me......
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Yeah, if you've tried everything else, you should run the RUU (your choice, but why not run the latest leak) and then do a factory reset from hboot...with the stock recovery. That has helped a lot of people.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I blame it on Verizon's network :p they've been having a lot of outages since they flipped on LTE
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
update from Philadelphia area......delayed sns/mms and 4g outage
[HTC Rezound] zZDave_Stud:
Thanks for all the replies guys, but it's not a 4G outage issue with me. I have my dad's phone, which is a 4G vzw phone next to my phone, and his is on 4G while I'm on 3G. Should I try switching roms?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Try doing a factory reset in hboot
[HTC Rezound] zZDave_Stud:
Alright well I'm trying to mess with the service menu again, rebooting it now and just cleared cache and dalvik. Gonna see if this does anything. If it doesn't, i'll factory reset in the morning.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
turned out while changing radios to debug SMS delay I borked 4g. flashed stock recovery,cleared storage/factory reset,flashed amon ra,flashed random ics rom,xfer internal stuff I backed up,wiped everything,restored viperrez backup and all good with 4g working
[HTC Rezound] dwkeepinup:
I'm completely stock and this keeps happening to me randomly. Super frustrating when I know I normally have 4g and it happens (home, work, anywhere)

I went in and they put in a new SIM but it still happens.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saafa:
Hey guys.

I wanted to know to get the best performance in the game, what steps do you go?

And what is the best ROM for the game? No matter the Jelly Belly 's or IceCream Sandwich, just tell me which are the best thing that I need?

For example,running the Batman, or Modern Combat 3

ROM and personalization capabilities of its beauty is not important to me. I just want to run games smoothly!

Please tell:

1 Android version that you use

2 Which ROM do you use?

3 Which kernel do you use?

4 Do you use (a) special program(s)?

5 and personal experience ....

6 What suggestions do you have?

The goal is to minimize the lag in games :cowboy:

Thanks

Very much

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
I wouldn't worry about the ROM. Just get a fast kernel with an overclocked GPU. Stable Trinity kernel has just been released in several overclock variations. Just use the fastest one that runs on your gnex without problems. Might try the 1420/384 or 1420/537. Then use Trinity Kernel Toolkit to turn up the minimum CPU speed one notch, from 307 to 6##. That makes more of a difference than overclocking the maximum CPU speed IMO. Experiment with different governor settings, too. The default (on-demand) is better for battery life than performance. Works on practically any Jellybean based ROM, and there's a version for ICS too. You can also play with the hardware overlay and force GPU settings in gnex developer section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
I agreee with strumcat. Kernel matters most, and Trinity is what I'm using now. And yeah, setting the governor and the min CPU will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saafa:
Thank you!

You know?

I remember when Jelly bean was released, I tried Franco kernel & Trinity kernel on ice cream sandwich , both in frequency of 384 (or 386, can not remember) were stable, but at frequencies 512 (or higher) when running games, everything was corrupted and I could not play!

(Even the samurai against zombies!)

(I do not know this problem has recently been solved or not)

The problem is the ROM or the kernel?

(I am a novice in the use of kernel; Whether a particular adjustment would be done that I forget?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Different phones are able to handle different amounts of overclocking. But I'd guess that the TNP1344-384-JB-STABLE Trinity kernel would work on most gnex phones without trouble. The 537 GPU has trouble on some phones but not others. So your experience was not unusual and doesn't indicate any inherent problem with the Trinity or Franco kernels. The higher speed kernels aren't really for everyday use.

Yea I just talked to Andy on gtalk before I posted here...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I think anyone with dev skills should get the phone,

BUT

I don't want this turning into the Rezound forums.

there is NO need for 4 ppl to put out THE SAME EXACT ROM with different "dev tweaks" a.k.a spent 5 mins to change it up to get a ROM posted because ppl like my work.

my goal for this forum is to inform the people.

inform the people who do the REAL work.

the REAL dev work and putting in the hours of time.

we also don't need 2 ROMs that are the exact same thing.

like I told newt and anyone else who wants the phone the more the merrier, but I am going to do EVERYTHING in my power to stop this community to turning into the Rezound, and I think I have enough ppl to support that.

I left apple because Android is open and shares.

I hope that this commmunity continues to ROCK!

I don't want any beef between Devs, trying to out do each other making the SAME ROM, give or take a mod or two different, let's worl together and produce something that is killer.

I left the Rezound a long time ago for a very good reason, way before the inc4 was on horizon, i even bought an inc2 back to 3g i hated that community so bad.

so far it seems this is like the inc2 on steriods!

let's hope it stays that way!

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ragnarokxg:
I am with you on this. Right now I am wanting to create a stock rom that is odexed still but yet has the color scheme of ICS. And of course as S-Off becomes available I will be willing to add more to it as well. I just think that as long as we work together instead of competing with each other we can have some solid ROMS that people will want to use as the daily driver instead of flashing every three days.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I see this as a great phone with lots of potential. I too am looking for a semi-stock (i.e. sense-based) daily driver that will suit my needs/wants. So far, what I've seen is that this (currently small) community has been extremely cooperative and respectful.
