[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Lol the 2.3 upgrade has saved a good few phones this past week :p

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
Yeah, tell me about it :)

This is the ultimate HTC Desire un-brick tutorial in this thread :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
Here is the explanation how all that works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
Okay, so my phone is still not working, as the RUU thinks its battery is under 30%, even though my Desire is fully charged up...

Is wiping battery stats a good idea?

@nlooooo: Thanks! Now I finally! have at least part of the idea how it all works :)

EDIT: The RUU thinks my battery is less than 30%, even though it has been charging since my last post (and the green LED confirms it's full).

Why?? I just wiped the battery stats, should I do anything else?

EDIT2: Switched from BOOTLOADER USB to FASTBOOT USB, it now seems to work...

As I understand, from here on I can restore NAND backups?

I'm only asking so I wont have to go through this all again -.-'

EDIT3: Just installed Revolutionary CWM (the easiest way to get CWM), flashed su zip... Superuser finally works and my su binary was auto-updated (after many months of manual updates) :D

Still, can I do NAND restores safely right now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
You'll have to s-off your device and the tool you need to use will flash recovery.

For s-off see this:

revolutionary.io

And read the guide given. Don't worry it will ask you for your IMEI when you start download it's just for the purpose of building your beta license key.

After you flash recovery I think you know what to do... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
I already s-off'd the first day I got the thing :P seems like S-OFF never disappears...?

Just flashed CWM with revolutionary, too (I'll update later) and just flashed su zip.

But is it safe for me to restore NAND backups of other roms? Or must I first install the rom and then restore the NAND?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
Now you are on stock hboot with data partition at 147 MB. If your NAND backup data partition is more than 147MB you will get into trouble.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
How can my NAND backup partition be different than the one I have now (stock) if I've always had it...? This is sort of confusing... :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
You can restore just backup you don't need to flash rom. But first try to boot with stock 2.3.

So RUU finished with no problems? Now I'm not sure which hboot you have cause if you s-off with revolutionary on the top of the screen pink revolutionary should be written, and it doesn't disappear because RUU can't overwrite custom flashed hboots (alpharev or revolutionary).

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

He was on stock before so no problems should occur.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
I'd be much happier if you wrote that in your native language (Serbian), since I didn't get any of that... (and yes, I understand Serbian) :)

I

think

I have the stock hboot, but I never changed it, so what else could it be?

I S-OFF'd my Desire using Revolutionary, and no RUU, ROM flash or ZIP install could ever make it S-ON'd...

And on top of hboot there is a pink 'Recolutionary' sign...

Hi All,

I'm using the stock calendar app on my Nexus and am wondering if there's a workaround for the widget, so that you can view events more than 7 days in advance. Obviously, I know that there are other calendar applications, but I would like to continue using the stock application, presuming that there is a workaround for this issue

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Dorkington:
I'd love to see a longer list as well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
I really don't think that far in advance, but a nice widget is Smooth Calendar Widget.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Hello all.

I'm on rooted gb (I know,I will update soon) running abyss4.2 kernel and sometimes when I reboot my phone my battery percentage drops STRAIGHT down.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexWekell:
Well...I'm pretty sure that restarting your phone uses a good chunk of it's battery seeing as you are stopping everything and then re-opening it basically.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetnord:
maybe you must calibrate your battery, or try 2-3 full cycle battery charging..sorry just my simple thought :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
worth the try,tx for the input!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSlim79:
Sometimes after a kernel install the battery stat is incorrectly reflected...a reboot would pick this up but as has been mentioned, give it a couple of full cycles and see if you still have the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Download battery calibration from playstore and do the calibration. :D

[Galaxy S II General] Jrhoop:
My sgs2 hasnt been right since rolling back from VK rom 5.2 to 5.1.3. Flashed over 5.2 with 5.1.3 using CWM. Ended up factory reset and flashing again.

Still not right with acore crashing all the time. Cleared data in contacts and that sorted that. Now gapps crashes constantly.

Flashed stock 4.0.3 yesterday via odin (with cf root) and then 5.1.3 again via cwm but still not right.
[Galaxy S II General] malavan:
So should we just flash this or what

Btw thanks for this fix.
[Galaxy S II General] chrhouse:
Hi tenasama, can you make a keyboard fix for the last vk rom 5.2.2? I try your last fix, but don't work in the 5.2.2 rom (loop).

Thancks in advance.

bye
[Galaxy S II General] tenasama:

Bye
[Nexus 7 General] dantay999:
I'm sorry to say my second Nexus 7 despite initially looking good has now popped the left side of its glass and displayed a stuck green sub-pixel. I'm really disappointed as I think its a fantastic device apart from the poor QC. I may try and buy later if I see on this forum that ASUS have got there act together.

Good luck to all who are trying to get a decent unit.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Poor QC, overinflated expectations for a entry level device, or a newly registered shill poster.
[Nexus 7 General] spencer88:
I replaced mine through the play store and its perfect. Maybe I just got lucky.
[Nexus 7 General] dantay999:
LOL! I dont think expecting the glass to be stuck to the body of the device is an 'inflated expectation'? regardless of price point. Tosser :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Yeah I'm pretty sure the front is not supposed to fall off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcU4t6zRAKg
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
He is right. My first nexus had screen lift. My second had a faulty LCD and my third has screen lift again.
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Same here, my second replacement is good, glad i did it instead of putting up with a creaky raised screen
[Nexus 7 General] wittitdew:
Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all... just some aren't prepped quite as safe as some of the others
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
Here is a thought... A crazy one I know but here you go....

Instead of constantly replacing a newly released device because of minor screen lift that does not effect normal use how about taking a chill pill, breathing in and out and relaxing?

Mine has screen lift and it still works great! Me? I will wait a few months and replace it once the flaw is fixed in manufacturing and there has been enough time to filter out all the flawed still in stock versions...
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
When I picked up my first one and it had screen lift, I was disappointed and angry. When I exchanged for a second one and it had screen lift and a non-functioning touch screen, I was just angry. When I picked up my third one with screen lift I just shrugged. Yesterday I picked up my fourth one with screen lift and a loudly popping speaker and I just laughed :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] ToyTank:
There must be bad lots or something?

On my first unit I bought at staples and everyone I know local has no issues and no replacements. I have been and will keep looking for issues on them but so far so good.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, what is up with people, expecting a product without defects? That is just weird.

Hopefully those people get filtered out of the gene pool and we can live in a peaceful future were defects are accepted as normal.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
Learn to read....

I said nothing about a defect being acceptable..

You may now remove foot from mouth...
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I'll bet that what actually happens is you'll send yours in, and you'll receive a refurb with EXACTLY the same problem. But you're so Zen-like about the whole thing, you'll just smile and go through the process over and over and never lose your cool. I envy your calm.

Of course, you'll have to hope the defect is obvious immediately, because every time you connect a new device to your Google account (and granted, one should put a hard limit on how many defects one accepts before considering the product to be junk) you'll use up a Google Music activation. And we can only deactivate 10 devices in a year. A big deal? Maybe, if you go through freaking defective products like this trying to get one that works decently.

Oh, and that will be another device that shows up in your list in Google Play that you can't delete. You'll remove it from the menu, but it'll be sitting there, taunting you.

Oh, and maybe you open an ebook on the defective that's limited to 3 devices, and then you can't open the book on your new one. And maybe the "remove from device" option isn't there, so you have to go through Google to get things fixed. But hey, relax, right?

If you're happy to sit on a defective device for months with the hope that it'll be better fixed later, knock yourself out. For some of us, the Nexus 7 is a special device, being the only Nexus tablet, and we just want one without defects. This whole preachy routine really does get a bit old.
[Nexus 7 General] albundy2010:
Here is a rational thought.

How about a device should not have a so called minor screen lift issue. That moves around when you touch you the screen. That when you pick up the device and hold it the damn thing feels like it is falling apart and about to simply break.

Only a fool would accept that and keep the device. It doesn't affect normal use? What are you smoking? A touch screen device with a defective screen doesn't effect normal use? So you're going to keep a bad crappy device for a couple of months because hell I don't know why. So everybody else should keep their as well.

These devices currently have a ton of QC issues. Fact. People will report and discuss them. The only trolls are the people that keep saying people reporting issues etc must be trolling.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
Guess how many devices I have linked to my account? lol

Seven GNex phones and two N7s. I've returned 4 N7s but one of them had a broken touch screen so I couldn't actually set it up and on the other the screen lift was so bad that I didn't bother powering it up. Crazy stuff. I honestly don't know why I keep coming back to the Nexus brand after my recent experiences.
[Nexus 7 General] Thegreatheed:
Here's an actual rational though.

Only a fool would fail to read and call someone out for something opposite of what they said.

CHILL OUT, COUNT TO 10 before you make yourself look like an idiot again. He never suggested you accept a flaw, he said that repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not the best idea. Obviously you want the device, but instead of complaining about it here, which will do absolutely freaking nothing, why not take a breath and waiting a week? Rapid fire returns sure haven't worked for you yet.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
Yawn....

Every device has growing pains the the N7 is no different... Google botched the pre-orders and they have a manufacturing issue to correct...

I will TRY and make this simple...

Let say Google had 10 million produced before they correct the manufacturing process / defect.. Now lets say they sold 5 million... That leaves 5 million defective units still on shelves / in stock...

You can continue to exchange it until the cows come home and guess what? Your replacement is going to come from the defective (read: in stock) pile until the defect is corrected and the originally shipped (read: defective) units have been depleted...

Save yourself the headache, stress, tantrums and wait a few months for the issue to be resolved and the fixed units to become the in stock norm...

If the unit has an issue that prevents it from functioning then that's another matter... Slight screen raise is not one of those... Keep on replacing it and keep getting the same (read: originally manufactured defect) unit in the mail... It's your headache not mine and I'm not the one throwing a tantrum in an online forum..

I will wait a few months and exchange mine once Google has resolved the issue and the in stock tablets are that of the fixed variety...

My .02
[Nexus 7 General] qckndrty:
Same for me. I contemplated not returning it to Office Depot but I ran by there at lunch and swapped for this one which appears good so far.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
You said you are fine with screen lift. Screen lift is a defect.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
Please quote where I said I was fine with screen lift..

I eagerly await....
[Nexus 7 General] albundy2010:
Nice edit there, Took out your idiotic Googles issue is its price, and uneducated people can buy them. You're a clown and not worth responding to after that.

I am not stressed or any of that stuff. I bought a product that is defective. It goes back. Will see how the replacement is. If that one is screwed up oh well. I will either send it back for RMA or just get a refund. What I will not do is pay for and a keep a detective device,

What he said was stupid. Your defending it was stupid. His response was so damn stupid he edited out his idiotic statement.

I guess calling or emailing Google for a RMA. Them shipping it out for free while you have 21 days to get your original device back to them is so stressful?
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Every new device has growing pains, agreed. Nexus 7 being no different I disagree. I pre-ordered an iPad 3 and got it delivered the day went on sale (Apple didn't screw up their pre-order process). And my iPad had a defect, I could clearly see the back light expose in a gap between the LCD and glass. I went and exchange it and got a perfect unit. You could visit iPad forums and find some complaints about defects, but it wasn't nearly to this level and Apple was selling a lot more tablets.

ASUS on the other hand is developing a pattern of having their first batch of tablets have a lot of defects in them. The TF101, TF201, and even now TF701 have all had really rough launches with issues. These usually get ironed out in a month or so. But it's causing a lot of frustration to the early adopters.

Sure you can be patient like a saint. Pay for price for a product, live with the defect and trade it a month or two later and hope it's fine by then. And we might just have to do that. But I think that is a really sucky expectation to have. I am not afraid to say I want to demand better than that.

"Mine has screen lift and it still works great! Me? I will wait a few months and replace it once the flaw is fixed in manufacturing and there has been enough time to filter out all the flawed still in stock versions..."

You are paying full price and getting a defective product. Living with it "a few months" and then replacing it (with what will probably be a factor refurb by then). Sounds like you are accepting the defect to me.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
I'm not stressed at all... These tantrum threads are enjoyable and funny...

Awe is someone having a moment? Personal attack calling me a clown? Do you need a hug? LOL

:)

A rational person? Woohoo!

Seriously though, I agree!

Asus has never been accused of making top notch / quality devices... I'm sure the issue will be resolved though..

My screen lift is like many others here, only slight.. Yes I wish it was perfect but it does not effect use of the device at all so I will wait..

The alternative is to act like a crazy person and exchange it 10 times expecting a different result that won't happen until Google / Asus fix it via manufacturing...
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I got no problem with what you decide to do. If your screen lift is minor, great wait it out and replace later.

But I'm a little offended that you think those of us returning are tablets are crazy people. Maybe a few are (guy that did 6 or 7 returns might have crossed the line to crazy town for example).

Some of these screen lift issues aren't acceptable or are kinda annoying. You hold the tablet where the lift is and it causes some distortion in the look of the screen for example. The other common issue is some of the screens are really washed out.

I think this is a great tablet. I want SO BAD to be completely happy with it. This is why I have already exchanged mine twice, my third Nexus 7 is arriving today in fact.

If you think I'm a little crazy, well I think the tablet will probably be worth the trouble to get the perfect one now and not months later. :)
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Is screen lift bad enough to eventually lead to severe issues later? If so, your basically playing with a timed bomb...

In any case, my tablet is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. First thing I'm checking for is screen lift. If that is the only thing wrong with it, then whatever, I'll deal with it and try fixing it (as long as it won't lead to bad issues later)

Now if I have something like messed up touch input, lines on the LCD screen, loads of dead pixels, or a tablet that arrives broken in half :p , I'll RMA it, although chances are I'll be dealing with ASUS since I probably can't hold $200 on my credit card.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
My point is that replacing a defective unit with a unit from defective stock makes no sense to me....

If this is a manufacturing issue it can ONLY be fixed when the manufacturing process is changed...

My screen lift is very minor and is just a irritation at best... I have no dead pixels, no screen flicker ect so I am NOT about to risk getting one of those type units as a replacement because one of those issues is a definite RMA...

Add in un-root / re-lock the old unit to send back... Then unlock and root the new.. Set everything back up only to RMA again? PASS.... I will wait it out since my issue is very minor...
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
ASUS first batch might be bad. But there is still the chance of getting a good one out of it. Sounds like there are a lot of success stories, no raised glass, no washed out colors. That is what keeps some of us trying.

Actually I was about to ask for a refund after my second tablet. But Google told me the new batch arrived this week and my third tablet would come from this batch. So hopefully it's a good batch and all these complaint threads will start to fade away.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
I just ordered my tablet on the 31st, and it shipped either yesterday or today. Does mine have a chance to be from this 3rd batch?
[Nexus 7 General] robsw:
Well, I just got mine - ordered on the 30th - charged it to full power and and the display died after an hour of use. This is not the defect that is cured by holding down the power button for 30 seconds. If you do that the "Google" comes on and it dies again. The tablet is on though. It makes a sound every time I get an email. Going back.

Frustrating.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
She didn't tell me what day the new batch came in. But I was talking to her on the 31st and put in the order that day.

Also just the day before the Google Play store started showing the 16GB model back in stock. So I'm guessing the new batch probably came Monday.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Of course, I should add: if you don't have one, get an American Express and buy such things with them. In the case of the Nexus 7 at $249+tax, it's perfect: they have Return Protection, which allows for a return up to $300, for 90 days. Don't like it and the vendor won't take it back, send it to Amex.

If something else goes wrong with this 3rd replacement in the first 90 days, or if the screen separation gets worse, I'll just pack it up and return it to Amex.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I have several different tablets and ironically the only that has a screen perfectly flush with the frame is my Nexus 7. It doesn't bother me on my other tablets, and I wouldn't have cared if my N7 wasn't "perfect" either.
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
my second device had a black line but luckily it was only stuck pixels and fixed itself within a couple minutes of using a pixel fixer.

Sent from my mopho
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
Going for my 3rd try tomorrow...I hope for the best! Hope it doesn't have the screen lift, since some don't!
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Wow, cool. First live example I've seen where those pixel fixer apps have worked.
[Nexus 7 General] ThePerson98:
I actually used one of those to verify that a ghosted dark spot on my screen wasn't actually a problem. Towards the bottom of the screen, there was this random dark thumb-sized circle that wouldn't go away despite any changes of settings. I figured it was the ghosting, yet an hour later it was still there. I got one of the pixel fixers, let it go for 30 minutes, and the dark spot went away. So apparently those pixel fixers can possibly help some people with ghosting issues, too.
[Nexus 7 General] cornelious2:
ya they work for stuck pixels, dead pixels are a lot less likely to work.
