[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XCT:
DONT spray a bunch of DILUTED rubbing alcohol onto the keyboard

sorry for digging old threads but i had this problem and i thought someone will have it in the future

PLEASE DONT DO THIS:

-The _improper_, _unsafe_ _lazy_ method that does not require disassembly but is probably a stupid thing to so (but I've done with success on -another phone, not a Desire Z), is to remove the battery, spray a bunch of DILUTED rubbing alcohol onto the keyboard, saturating it so that it runs -into the nooks and crannies, then repeatedly press the buttons up and down -- with the idea that some alcohol gets into the contacts and cleans -them. Let the phone dry completely for 24 hours, put the battery back in and hope it turns on, then hope the keyboard works again.

The phone is too well made it has 3 layers until u get to the contacts

and is 95% probable you hard brick your phone

Dust CANT get to the contacts, instead the problem comes from the metal part touching the contacts that is bent overtime.

these things look like a ( and when they are pressed they go like this | and in the middle of them you will see

i will make a full tutorial how to repair bad contacts on this

Aaand.. here it is

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Niche phone man. Think about it... Sprint only in the US only while S3 is being sold worldwide and with many, many more carriers. While we argue that the LTEvo is part of the One family, I'm starting to think otherwise, as much of HTC's development news centers around the Ones, but never mentions us. We may share software and hardware, but the development support definitely seems segregated from the Ones. On and add in a LTE network that was just recently launched, so people are hesitating to rely on the notoriously poor 3G network (mine just went from 5 signal bars to roaming only today!).

For all intensive purpose we are the ONE X. Just because HTC doesnt mention "OMG EVO 4G LTE" doesnt mean we arent going to get upgrades.

I just noticed that the DCIM \ .thumbnails folder on my internal SD card seems to be excessively large - about 1017MiB. The Camera folder itself only contains images totalling 81MiB.

Is this something to be expected, or can I safely delete the folder to (hopefully) clear some space?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrsiri:
I deleted it but i didn't reclaim any space. To be exact, right after i deleted it it looked like i reclaimed 2gb (the size of the .thumbnails folder) but next time i checked, after a restart, my free space was at the same level as before deleting it. I can't find the .thumbnails folder anywhere now... Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
The .thumbnails folder can be fount in storage/sdcard0/DCIM.

You need to be rooted to see the .thumbnails folder.

Thanks for the quick reply but it's not there either (i am rooted and I browsed the folder with root explorer).

I fixed this by deleting .thumbnails on my s4 and created a new .thumnails folder in DCIM folder, finally got rid of the nonsense.

Hello all,

In the near future I would like to sell my GP 5.0 to replace it for a phone.

It is almost 1 year old, has got some small scratches on the back and you can see its back has been damaged a bit (because it had been moved a table for example). But the screen itself is still perfect without scratches.

Do you think I can get (at least) 100 euros, which is around 125 USD, if i sell it?

I live in the Netherlands btw.

Greetings and thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Judging on the prices for used ones on Amazon. I say yes it is still worth it. Believe it or not people are still buying the original 4.0 and 5.0 instead of the newer 3.6 and 4.2. However, I suggest selling it now because I believe the new iPod 5th gens are coming out around September-October

[HTC 7 Pro] anghelyi:
Hi,

I'm new to the HTC 7 Pro, I only have the phone for a week. I like it but I have an annoying problem with it: the in-call volume is too low. It's OK for the Office/Home environment, but it's barely audible in a crowd... Of course the in call volume is set to the max and I tried the registry settings to increase it to 15 but it only changed the volume steps, not the volume level...

Any idea to fix it? Can I fix it by flashing different/older radio firware?

TIA!

If you install cwm you can make a back up before you touch anything.

In order to remove stock apps, you first need to root your phone, then install titanium backup, it gives u the option. To either freeze or delete an app. If u not sure if an app should be deleted u can freeze it first to see what effect this has. The paid version allows u to batch restore. Any updates to your firmware will replace any stock apps u deleted. U can install rom manager to backup your ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sleze:
I have been using froyo since I bought the phone. I have been resistant to replacing it with a custom ROM because that always led me down a road of instability on past phones but from what I see of ICS, it looks like a very good upgrade.

That being said, the current jelly beans upgrade still has bugs (namely gps) so I was wondering if there are any previous OS replacements of gingerbread or is that are stable and fully functional?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sleze:
"gingerbread or ICS"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Most stable and completely functional would be GB roms like Emancipation or Aeon.

ICS is also quite stable and functional, except for the 720 video recording being choppy, but if it is something you don't use then this could be the one for you. I would recommend cm9, uniyumaporn or remICS-ux

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
most stable and smooth would be stock samsung gingerbread. but cm9 is also a very good choice(smoother than stock actually but no mhl). and gapps in ics are much improved. voice search in particular is way more usable.

I would suggest Aeon for stability.

For stability I loved Emann. Then switched to uniporn until cm10 got GPS up and running. From my experience, as of now Scotts cm10 8/8 build with 7/26 gapps is running perfect for me. I haven't moved to the 8/10 build yet because I don't have use for the mtd partitioning as of yet. I've always had the mind set of don't change a running system. If new features come out in a later build I will definitely update to it. But right now my phone is running super smooth. With working GPS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Don't go JB for at least a couple months. The builds are unstable and they come frequently.

I would go for Entropy CM9 as even if a new build is released you can just flash it on top with no wipe (keep your apps/settings)
