I know what you mean!

I was almost ready to buy a Nexus S from ebay (I was actually bidding) when I decided to try one of the JB roms (Nikez lent) and it was a revelation! There are a couple of problems (wifi hotspot with encryption and a few games don't work), but it is awesome.

The lesson I learned form buying the Desire is next time to go for Nexus and only nexus. The most important part of the modern phones is the OS and getting a nexus is the only way to get the latest for as long as the hardware can run it. And even longer thanks to the ROM community :)

Ahh my little pretzels! The time has come for me to say au-revoir! But it's not goodbye as I shall be returning from time to time to haunt you all!

You see the time came for me to upgrade and I have fallen head over heels for a floozy next door. I have passed on my beloved Desire to a very happy son who is a chip off the old block if I may say so, but not quite as handsome.

I have temporarily removed this remarkable rom from my Desire and restored it back to XJ's Miui, but only until Monsieur Nikez' masterpiece is complete, as this rom is for those who understand it is in alpha form and can work within its boundaries.

The desire and the wonderfully helpful and exotic xda community have been a joy! Live long and prosper my little pointy ears!

Did you try flashing the stock firmware image using fastboot (a guide for 4.1.1 is here, but applicable for any google image as such)

Once you flash the stock image, you can re-root and try flashing custom ROM's

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Voyaging:
Hello everyone,

I'm really sorry if this is already out there somewhere in all the posts. I have no time to read through them all or keep up with all current trends. Please forgive me.

I bought the NT for my wife for Christmas. Since then all i've been aware of that is stable is CELTICWEB SOLUTIONS CM7 alpha (which i see it is now in BETA). Are there any mods that are not buggy for this device yet? Currently she stays frustrated because of problems with wifi connecting only when it wants to, the microphone being inconsistent and the issue concerning video decoding...

I'd love to put CM9 or 10 on it for her...but honestly just a good working version of CM7 would be great.

I appreciate if you can point us in right direction, even if the suggestion is to just buy a Nexus 7 and sale this one! :)

Thanks a lot!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Khishawn:
So today I flashed the new build of Beans Custom Stock (B8). I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with the number showing unread text messages.

I saw some threads where people tried different things for different devices but none of those general hints helped. I tried clearing the cache and davlek cache in CMW, I also tried clearing the settings for messaging in the applications manager but that didnt help. I should note that all of these methods did indeed remove the unread count HOWEVER as soon as I receive another text message its stuck again.

If anyone has any advice please let me know! Its annoying having an unread message count all the time.

Thanks guys!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
True dat, but by now we should all be used to pretty much every manufacturer/carrier lying about update dates.

HTC does it the worst - I remember when ICS came out on the Evo 3D - First HTC said it would be Q1, then they said "early 2012", and then "sometime spring", and it finally came out in July...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:
Don't forget out carriers taking their sweet sweet time bloating it up...memories of the epic and froyo/gingerbread are rushing back to me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
The delayed ICS update for the EVO 3D was the worst. Good thing the devs had some great ICS ROMs working way before the official one was finally released.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
HTC should no longer be talked about in the same matter as Samsung. The 3D was a flop and more of a headache for sprint and HTC to give it the ICS upgrade, but out of necessity (thanks Virgin Mobile) the upgrade finally made rounds.

Now back to Samsung and its most successful phone, one should expect Jelly bean to make rounds much more quicker then what would history would tell us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TWO515TY:
I think Samsung is controlling the carriers' options for bloatware this time around, and you'll likely see less bloatware with these updates. Most reviews of the Galaxy S3 comment on how there isn't as much overbearing carrier influence on the phone to begin with, especially when compared to the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
I learned not to be hopeful about updates with my old OG epic, I expect Official jellybean around now of '13.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I was like that, but then I had the GS2 for a while and noticed updates came faster as the hardware becomes more universal. With the SGS3 being so similar across carriers, I feel like the time periods may become closer like how the Nexus is. Their is some lag for CMDA, but with so little variance they aren't accounting for one with a keyboard and other strange variations. I think the main delay with the SGS2 was the recovery being attached to the kernel and the emmc bugs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
The devs here should have some great TW ROMs based on the international update so I'm not too worried about it.

I thought OTA updates on unbranded stock firmware (e.g BLG8, with LH1 baseband) are disabled. Is this not the case?
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
I don't know where this thought line came from but I just started thinking and I'm seeing a surprising amount of parallels between the "Videotape format war" and the current Android vs. iPhone war.

Here are just a few (that I'm sure people will be able to add to) :

1.VHS was the cheaper format which was a big factor in it's dominance; Android has gotten on to so many devices in so many different price ranges just about anyone can afford a Smartphone. Betamax was the choice of people with disposable income and videophiles; iPhone is sold at a significant markup for people with excess money to buy as a status symbol.

2. VHS and Betamax entered a sort of race to fit as much video recording space on their respective format; Android and iPhone are engaged in a crazy war of features one-up-manship (coining the word now).

3. VHS won because it was the cheaper and more available format; Android is dominating as far as marketshare for being cheaper and far more widespread (just about anyone can have an Android phone, even people with older WinMo phones, looking at HTC HD2).

Anybody else see anything or am I just making connections that aren't there?

[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
It's not an Apple vs Android thread. It's a comparison between format wars in the 80s to the current Smart Phone war. If the mods don't see any potential for actual discussion here they can and should close it.
[Off-topic] WiredPirate:
Isn't point 1 and point 3 the same point?.
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
Good point. I see them as different because 1 is just a comparison of what the formats have become from a consumer standpoint and 3 is a comparison of the winner of the Format war and what appears to be becoming the winner of the Smart Phone war.

I would consider it pretty accurate to say that price is going to be the deciding factor. The Nexus 7 has been a massive success for Google and I think it's going to represent a paradigm shift in the tablet market.
[Off-topic] vizzy:
VHS vs betamax is completely different to the phone market. Different phones have different price points, hardware and software. VHS vs betamax is similar to HD vs Blueray. And in those situations there can only be one winner for mass production and international exports, so companies will make it so there is only 1 winner. There will never be 1 phone manufacturer there are too many variables, target market groups and consumer preferences.
[Off-topic] Mr Woolf:
Tripe. Your comparison shows a total lack of understanding. I can only assume that you have never watched a betamax video.......
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
I see Apple as Laserdisc - beefy, better sound quality, first consumer disc based format, goes out of style real fast.

I see Android as DVD - more streamlined, easier to transport, better use of space for the money.

I loved my laserdiscs for the novelty, but I'll stick with DVD any day of the week.

What about HD DVD and bluray?
[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
That wasn't even a war, that was a skirmish between a first-world power and three kids from down the street with supersoakers. HD DVD never stood a chance with only one studio and a paltry number of manufacturers backing it. Bluray had Sony and Panasonic on board off the rip and pretty much every major studio except for MGM I believe. I didn't pay that much attention except to not that HD DVD was going to go down hard so if nothing else had decided me on a PS3 over XBox 360 that would have.
[Off-topic] Blue6IX:
I can't believe I still have a betamax machine, with tons of vhs video... but no vhs player or betamax tapes.

[Off-topic] pmcm73:
Absolutely!

Hey, I googled "iPhones and android like VHS and Beta". and your comment here was second on the Google search page, so I had to join to agree. Iphones are too exclusive and a nightmare doing most things that are not with Apple compatible software (like trying to download gmail). It will be there downfall.
[Off-topic] AymanDev:
Never heard that argument comparison. It's not a great one tbh. It's incredibly favorable to have a Universal media format (i.e. bluray hd dvd), not so much for phones.
[Off-topic] laurelp52:
I know this is an old post, but still relevant in 2017

Virgin Mobile U.S.A. just went all Apple, no more android phones. Another pet peeve: the usb ports. We had Mini-B and went to Micro-B. USB ports should have all been standardized in my opinion. I have older chargers with with mini-b usb type that are useless now because most electronics are using the micro-b type.

I sort of understand the Blu-ray vs Dvd and at least most players can use both.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mark9876:
Not sure who has this problem, but my phone tended to "creak" when pressed at certain points. I decided to figure out why this was happening. Turns out the battery itself has a little more motion than ideal and the phone was making the creak noise with the back cover off when i pushed on the battery.

My simple fix was to cut out a few pieces of paper the size of the battery and put them between the back cover and the battery.

This makes the phone feel much more solid. I'm sure tape would do the same thing. The trick is to find the right thickness between stopping the noise and still allowing the cover to fit on tightly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
I haven't had the same issue, but on my first Dinc 4G, the back case immediately next to the volume rocker was slightly loose, and I could press on it and feel a similar creak to what you're talking about. I traded it in after a week because of a few other issues, and this new one doesn't have that same problem. I didn't do anything to try to remedy it, so I don't know the best solution.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
theres now 4 inc4g ltes within my family lol.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] devinhfox:
My solution to the creaky problem was to take the cover off and cover the little dimple thingies with electrical tape.

Works like a champ.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I take a more simplistic approach for all the phones i purchase and issue here at work. Peel off 3 of the small postit notes, stick it on the battery, no creaks, groans or otherwise irritating sounds.
[Acer Iconia A500] jborchel:
New Android ver. 4.1 installed but I made mistake and uninstalled Netflix app. I tried to download new version of Netflix but system said it was already installed so it won't download it for me. Apparently, when I uninstalled Netflix it took out the app but didn't delete it from some app table or internal index that Android uses. How do I overcome this problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll take a wild guess that the Netflix app came with your tab pre-installed? If this is the case, it more than likely is located in /System/App. So to remove it, you will have to root your device, and get system RW access. Otherwise, it and the rest of the pre-installed bloat apps, will be there forever more.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
I believe you can take off a plastic insert that would touch the phones back if it was docked. That should allow you to dock the thicker maxx. But i read somewhere that it doesnt fit as snug as it should. Just take it back and get the Maxx dock. Just to be safe. And if youve already opened it let us know how it fits compared to the maxx dock.

If you want to unroot, i've used the method described in this post to unroot my previous tf300 before returning it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

It had worked fine.

I've used 'Method 1 - Rooted' instructions.

You have to download the blob corresponding to your tf700 from asus and with adb write it to the tf700
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Just remove /system/xbin/su (as root) and uninstall Superuser app, but this is user-based, so I doubt anything on the boot uses root privileges differently just because suddenly you have the binary there.

Are you sure you haven't installed any apps or new firmware lately?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Or just Factory Reset if your really desperate. Root gone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] htcvidi:
I don't think that a factory reset removes root.

Don't ask me to prove it, i don't want to reinstall my Tf700 :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Correct. Factory reset means wiping the /data partition, for which there is no reason in this case. Re-flashing firmware sometimes wipes /system, sometimes just overwrites the files on it (normally leaving /data intact), which will lead to removing "su" most of the time (Superuser.apk stays in /data, but can be easily uninstalled). If someone has used RootKeeper, it can leave a copy of "su" somewhere on the system partition, too, but can be removed from within the app.
[Epic 4G Apps] Dante of the Inferno:
If you haven't yet heard, Adobe is ending all support for mobile Flash entirely on August 15th, 2012 (tomorrow). This includes stopping all new downloads of Flash, which means removal of the Flash apk from the Google Play Store. Since we're all enterprising smartphone users who still want to use Flash, I request that someone post the stock apk file. Even if we have backups like Titanium for the system data, it's nice to have a clean apk to download from for our future phones, especially since mobile Flash effective has no future.
