[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasja:
Hi all,

I have a stock mytouch 4g and yesterday it froze during an update. After rebooting it a few times to no avail, I did a factory reset and still got nothing, it just kept getting stuck on the beginning image.

I factory reset it without the SD card, and it booted (showed me the introductory video) but then as it was asking me to set-up my e-mail accnt it froze again, and that was pretty much it. I reset it every which way after that and got nothing but it getting stuck on the first image.

I also can't go into recovery mode, nor fastboot. On recovery mode, it shows me the alert red triangle sign with an exclamation point.

Please help?? (I refuse to believe my phone crapped out bc of an update! =[ )

Thank you kindly,

Nasja
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
You need to find the stock rom and place it on the root of your SD card and then boot into hboot and it should ask you if u want to install update then just wait for it to install and your phone should work fine again

PC not seeing the phone

Hey, thanks much for the reply, but I plugged my phone to my PC, but it doesn't see it (or read it rather, it pops up as removable disk but if I click it, it tells me I have to insert a disk ).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saynotopunx:
I had the same type of thing happen to a phone I'm looking at for a friend.

He lent it to me because it wouldn't boot past the mytouch logo. It would boot into boot loader, but wouldn't allow us to select wipe data / factory reset. I tried to apply the update through the Bootloader like preciously mentioned, but it kept hanging and wouldn't load after 10 minutes or more.

I've noticed it's extremely delayed when it even runs the scan in Bootloader for new recovery and other updates. It probably takes about 45 seconds to do the scan.

Anybody have an idea what's causing this? I read in another thread that it may have been caused due to the phone overheating.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joshlane4:
I know that's a dramatic title, but it's true. This was my first Android phone, purchased 14 months ago. I quickly found xda, rooted and got s-off. I have enjoyed this community, the developers have been amazing. I have stuck mostly with AOSP ROMs but have played with at least 20 different ones off and on. I love the open source community, and the ability to tweak everything with my phone. That said, my contract will be up in the spring, and when looking at a new phone there are only two options:

the new iPhone - I know that is traitorous, and I probably won't go there (I've invested too much in this OS and in paid apps), but iPhone's ecosystem has so much reliability. There is only a few phone models out there, so you know what you're going to get. When iOS updates, everyone has access to it. It just works. It is less customizable out of the box, but once jailbroken gives many of the same opportunities as Android

a "pure Google" phone (ie Nexus) - this is realistically where I am headed, and where I "hope" the whole Android community is headed. Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, revolutionized the way a cell phone was sold when he made the deal with AT&T. I hope that Google can do the same. I love everything about my HTC Incredible 2, the construction and hardware and functionality are great, but that cannot make up for the fact that ICS was released on October 11, 2011. That's TEN MONTHS AGO! Do you understand what that means in tech time? The average contract length is 1 or two years. That means if you purchased this phone on a one year contract in October, you will possibly never get the ICS update intended for your phone. That is ridiculous. You can point blame wherever you want, but the bottom line is that it's unacceptable. Now if you have a "pure Google" phone you get all those updates immediately, and you also get a group of hungry developers that gather to the phone just because of that. Now, before I hear "just download Aerovan's CM9 it works great" - I have, and it does for the most part, but that's not the point. We should have had fully functioning ICS for 10 months now, and we should have had a fully functioning Jelly Bean for one month. Instead, we may get ICS before Christmas.

tl;dr - buy a "pure Google" phone, the delay in OS updates is not worth getting any other phone (even if it has better "x")

</rant>

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
If only it was good enough

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Actually, the current JB update for the GN has terrible battery. ICS 6-8 hours, JB 4-6 hours.

I have 50% of battery at the end of the day with moderate use with my dinc 2

Just another reason I love this phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] densetsu86:
To open: every thing just works. Android just works, wp7&8 just works ios just works. this "just works" nonsense is part of apples campaign. My dinc2 just worked out of the box I chose to make it better at the cost of adding some instability.

The only phone that I know of that didn't work and no amount of dev work can fix was my old dx2.

Here's the truth in the matter ios gives you and every owner the same experience while with android you are given an experience but you can also choose to make your own. Ios is out dated. IPhone hardware is outdated, Apple knows this that's why they sue and patent some of the most retarded things in the name of anti-competitive spirit.

Why go backwards in tech when you can move forward. Go for pure Google. Then you can have a great phone with the latest tech, open software with timely ota updates.

But its your money. Choose to be an isheep or choose to be a Herder its your call.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
The x2 was horrible, it had great potential but "motorizon" stepped in, I'm amazed Dragonzkiller is still working in it, for that I give him props.

Sent from my Paranoid Android
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Krishna.tungal:
Yes, the Incredible2 is an amazing phone.

I would say this is the best phone that can handle any OS till now (Android).

but as I am in India, I am not able to use this phone at its best due to not having proper ICS ROM which support Indian CDMA network.

I tried UKB 1.1x, it works great with GSM, but it did not detect CDMA UIM card...

other than this, this phone is amazing....... and beautifull.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
@OP. I agree option 2 makes most sense and is what I wish to do in the future as well. However, DON'T go with Verizon for your next Nexus phone... Apparently VZW is still delaying the JB update for Verizon's GNex... Appalling news and a slap on the face for the whole Nexus brand... If Asus can release JB on an non-nexus tablet (read TF300) faster than it can come on a nexus phone, what the hell should we do now!? VZW is like a god damn bully who is just plain mocking us and taunting us... It is not even trying to embrace technology and attempts to live in the old days... Screw them. I suppose it makes sense to go for a Nexus device on a GSM network. The way it is MEANT to be! :/ so AT&T (or T-mobile) it is...

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Aren't a vast majority of the carriers GSM (excepting Reliance and 1 by Tata I think)?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Is there actual evidence to back this up anywhere? It's coming off like a little bit of FUD to me to say that Verizon is purposely delaying the JB update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joshlane4:
Yes, I think I will only purchase a phone from the Google Play store. When my contract expires I don't want to be locked up in another two year deal.

There isn't evidence that they are purposely doing it, but what litetaker says is true. Thus the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not a "pure Google" phone as advertised.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
http://easternmorningherald.com/ver...hen-can-we-expect-the-new-android-os/1215208/

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/08/20/slow-verizon-galaxy-nexus-jelly-bean-update-frustrates/

Now the fact of the matter is Gnexes on Verizon are yet to receive the OTA for JB which was released 41 days ago. Clearly, it is the carrier's incompetence that is causing the delay though it is indeed doubtful whether VZW is doing it purposely or just out of pure incompetence... Whatever it is, it is taking way too long FOR a Nexus device. It is down right laughable and I am not happy about it...

On the other hand, several reports online ([1], [2]) suggest that JB OTA is already out on AT&T and other GSM based carriers... :/

That is simply uncool by VZW AND Sprint, might I add... I dunno what is up with CDMA versions of Gnex. But it is just uncool!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kirbee213:
Today I was poking around in TiBu trying to get just a little more life outta the battery by freezing and uninstalling crapware. When I scrolled to the bottom and found the crap I had already uninstalled and found that com.android.nfc was uninstalled. However I don't recall removing it, it says no backup available, and I don't know if I want it uninstalled.

Is this necessary to be able to use NFC? I have tried to use it in the past, but (I think mainly due to user error) I could never get it to work. Could this be the reason why? Or is this a leftover from GB? If this IS needed to use the NFC on the phone, how do I get it back? Assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Hi!

If I searched correctly, it looks like com.android.nfc3 has been renamed to com.android.nfc, si it might just be an old file. You also should check if there is an Nfc Service running in the apps manager when you try to use NFC.

I made this mods specially for my new custom rom (which is on testing) but since I'm going to take awhile still to release it and after trying ThilinaC's new Pureness 11.0 rom (which I love) I decided to use with it and see how it worked and I loved the result. So I decided to share with you guys. :cool:

Instalation

It's a rar file with the individual apps inside. I didn't made any zip file because I don't know if people want to install the whole pack. So you just install what you want.

Move to system/app with the permissions rw - r - r and voilá!

:D

Few days ago I was dropped my xperia P in water. After this there was an annoying problem: when I unlock my phone for 1-2 seconds appear notification about connecting HDMI and desappear in one more second (my screen become horizontal even in lockscreen or xperia launcher).

I examined, cleaned the contacts, but nothing is chanched.

Maybe someone has this problem? Maybe have a way to disable HDMI port software (I dont use it anyway)?
