Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but there is a solution for Eroc162 turning off the screen with a jester. It's called Screen off and lock. If you have the swipe to search button and don't use it this app will use that jester to turn off the screen. If you are like me and have flashed KatKiss KatshMallow 6.0 (Marshmallow based ROM) you can use the onscreen widget . Works great!

I've had this phone for about 3 months and never had a problem with it but out of nowhere it stopped vibrating and I have no clue why. All my vibration settings are on but still no vibrate for anything at all. I've been running smokins Sick Sense Rom and never had any problems till now. Plus I just tried installing cm10(switched back to sense) did a full wipe but still no vibrate altho when in cm10 I didn't check the settings for vibration. It's seems like its a hardware issue but that makes no sense because I have not dropped the phone once. Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
Return to stock and if it still doesn't vibrate return it to the carrier/store where you got it.

[HTC Wildfire S] Veritas420:
I'm sure this has been asked, but I get a plethora of responses and information dating back to 2009....and I just want to know...as of today. 08/10/2012 is it possible to unlock the Wildfire S? And by unlock, I mean Carrier/SIM provider lock.

All these bastards are charging $10-40 for it, so it has to be possible.....

Its not in my nature to pay for things that could otherwise be obtained for free thou you see...as has been the case with every other cell phone from every other provider i have ever owned. (Namely Nokia's and Blackberry's)
[HTC Wildfire S] DaveNavy:
Well get used to paying LOL!!!

Developers don't work for free, Donations mostly, but when they put their time in effort into a solution and don't get donations it sucks, I paid $5.80 to get mine unlocked on Ebay, and I know you "Dont believe in paying for an unlock" well then I suggest you learn how to develop and code, otherwise you are at the mercy of Carrier Supported Unlock,EBAY Payed Unlock, or the generosity of a developer releasing it for free.

Hope I wasn't to hard on ya, Truth must be told though.:laugh:

[HTC EVO 3D] poor_red_neck:
So I've been really out of touch with rooting, and all the h4x with phones lately. I bought my Evo3D on release day, and whatever was the first permanent root option that was there I did. I don't remember what I used to get root. It's been a while. I've never changed anything other than the ROM a few times. Never flashed a kernel. I was running Fresh Evo3D for a while, and recently switched to MeanROM ICS. Started with 2.3. Looking to flash 2.6. I'm really looking to take advantage of some other kernels out there, mainly for overclocking purposes.

It's a hard subject to search for... any search term with hboot in it is threads full of people who already know what they're talking about.

So if it's not too much to ask, can somebody point me in the right direction so I at least understand what hboot is, what it means to be "on" or "off" and how it affects whether I can flash kernels? If there's a wiki or something out there that I can read up on that'd be great.

From what I can gather from this thread on MeanROM ICS 2.6 is in order to flash the 2.89 kernel, I need to upgrade hboot to 1.58 s-off...... ooookkkkk... :confused:

I'm trying not to come off as an "uber newb" I don't mind reading to find the answer... I just have no clue where to look. Every thread I've found, like I've said before, is people referencing hboot as if you already know what it is.

Here's some pics attached below of current phone's configuration if that makes any difference:

Thank you in advance for any assistance, and please try and keep the flaming to a minimum :D
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You are s-off which means you can flash everything you need to in recovery. Since you've flashed a custom ROM before, I assume you can do that.

What I did:

0. You may want to change recoveries to 4ext (see my signature on the web version of XDA). Thus is newer and runs better in my opinion. Just install the app and run it.

1. Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup of your current setup.

2. Install MeanRom 2.6: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645211

(I installed this first so that there Rom I am on will be made for the new firmware)

3. Install the firmware update without the new hboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673377

(Note, you only need the new hboot 1.58 if you plan to use the new stock HTC kernel. Otherwise, do like I did and stay with hboot 1.4 as it is compatible with more Roms)

4. Install whichever custom Rom you want.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Truthiswithin:
Is it just me or does the ICS rom for MediaPad not support the front-facing camera?

I'm not sure when it happened, but I can no longer see any way to switch to the front-facing camera; I am not sure it wasn't there in ICS before, but I certainly can't find it now.

Any hints or advice? I am using the the "Olympic" custom kernel, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

UPDATE: I can confirm that switching back to stock kernel allows use of the front camera, so it must be an issue with the custom kernel.

you can flash any ROM from either phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tehee:
Get the skyrocket if carrier doesn't matter. They are the exact same phone but with the skyrocket you always have the option for lte even if it is not in your area right now. You can also flash roms from either side so might as well get the skyrocket for lte:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aaki_rocker:

can i flash any skyrocket rom on hercules and any hercules rom on skyrocket ? :confused:

thanks.. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxKamikazexx:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RXDriv3r:
Is this true? I was in the network options checking something out and theres an option to use just GSM or LTE/GSM? I just got this phone a few days so Im still learning ****
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
Yes this is true.

Qualcomm's MDM8220 modem doesn't support LTE.

"Qualcomm’s MDM8220 dual-carrier HSPA+ solution, based on the 3GPP Release 8 standard, provides peak downlink data rates of up to 42 megabits per second (Mbps) and 11 Mbps on the uplink, allowing carriers to easily upgrade their existing infrastructure equipment to achieve significantly higher bandwidths. Its dual-carrier technology doubles networks’ bandwidth from 5 MHz to 10 MHz by aggregating two HSPA carriers in parallel.

The MDM9200 and the MDM9600 chipsets are the industry’s first multi-mode 3G/LTE solutions that allow UMTS and CDMA2000® operators to upgrade seamlessly to future LTE services while preserving backward compatibility to their existing 3G networks. MDM9200 supports UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE, while the MDM9600 supports CDMA2000® 1X, EV-DO Rev. B, SV-DO, SV-LTE, UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE. All of the new chipsets support FDD LTE and TDD LTE modes and different carrier bandwidths, and are capable of using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology to support peak data rates of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RXDriv3r:
Wow...I'll be honest with you that was quite a mouthful lol you kind of lost me so I read it twice and I understand, but pretty much the Herc has the MDM8220? So thats a no on the LTE if when T Mo gets LTE like they plan on, we wont be getting true LTE. Correct me if Im wrong lol, Im just a noob trying to learn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
You're correct, herc dies not have lte, SR does, but i believe SR lte will only work on their bands so even when TMobile gets lte 3 years from now, it won't work, maybe.

Personnaly, I am not work worry about it.

Yes, I faced this 2-3 times on stock condition on the second day of purchase.

It gets super hot, then choose, then super hot then cools... Not a great thing to have going on regularly.

Personally, I would remove all personal files, return to stock, upgrade to stock ICS and then take it in and tell them you want a replacement. Don't take the sh¡trocket. A gs2, oneX, gs3 or even a note, maybe, but that's it.

Define overheating. I know my phone can get really warm if I'm using a bunch of apps or things like Skype on 3G, especially the upper right portion of the back, near the cameras. If it gets too warm, I try to cool it just by holding my hand there covering all the parts that are getting hot (if the phone is warmer than your skin, your skin will cool it, simple physics), and when I start killing tasks after I'm done and let it rest for awhile, it'll cool down again. I wonder if my Otterbox Case exasperates the problem. But after hearing all the problems people are having with refurb units, I wouldn't trade my mostly perfectly working I777 for anything at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
As far as I'm concerned, if it's hot enough where it makes me think "holy sh¡t, my phone is freaking hot!", it's overheating. If it's warm not a big deal, that's gonna happen.

I've only had out overheat twice so far. The second time i don't know what happened but my phone had over 50% batt and when i went to pick it up 20 minutes later it was extremely hot to the touch and the battery was dead. Hasn't happened in over a month and I've had this phone for around 6 months now.
