[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnly1:
I come from the LG Optimus 3D (basically the same hardware as the Galaxy Tab 2 with less RAM). According to my 1 year experience the Galaxy Tab gets exactly as warm as my old LG O3D used to get. I never had any probs with the LG so I'm pretty sure there won't be probs with the Tab either :good:

I have now had three occasions where my service has just been lost. I sat waiting for friends for three hours only to realize that the phone, even though it showed full service, was frozen and not receiving any data.

Are you using stock rom or custom? Maybe should try to odin a stock rom and see if that will solve your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psalm462:
I may have to. I am rooted, unlocked and running the cleanRom, with stock kernel. I have been noticing little issues like Wi-Fi tether not working properly or like last night, the phone acting as if it was working, but not receiving any data. Only after I tried to send a text to see what happened, it failed to send. Then after a reboot, it showed all the messages I missed for the last three hours.

I believe flashing the stock ROM via ODIN will unroot and lock your bootloader... but will help clear up any bad flashes etc.

[HD2 General] Meteo:
its been almost a year since Ive last visited this forum but I noticed that the HD2 is STILL on the forum list! makes me really glad I bought my HD2 (which Im still using). I wonder for how much longer before its considered "legacy". Ill be sure to return to mourn that day.

What has contributed to its longevity? What makes this phone so attractive compared to the many superior options spec wise?
[HD2 General] jackbillstrom:
I think that it's a great phone for it's price tag and also it's time. It was launched in 2009 and for those who had Windows Mobile 6.5 on it has for sure thrown their device long time ago. :)
[HD2 General] keller112:
I think there was definetly some error on microsoft's part there. the HD2 was the device that basically stood in the middle of the transition of the old smartphones to the newer generation of smartphones, you know, the goods, Cortex A9, 1ghz, 4.3 incher, capacitive screen, etc.

It was the first to feature a very large display and be available on most networks at the same time.

It had amazing hardware at the time, but the operating system didnt not make good use of it, so hence people decided to port android to it.

Fast forward a bit, and you'll find out that it's the device that microsoft developed their first generation windows phone 7 on, making it 100% compatible with it and adding another operating system to the plethora of stuff the HD2 can do.

Other projects such as windows 95/98, ubuntu and meego also popped up, but none of them managed to get that momentum going and become a daily driver rom.
[HD2 General] retsam88:
Yeah, long live :)

I simply can't name ANY other phone with that much care and attention from developers. It's amazing.

This is the third year i'm using the my hd2. and i think its appropriate to call this phone legendary!:cowboy:
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Definitely a great phone. I'm still on WM.

While I'm slowly finding Android apps that could replace my few and favorites in WM, I have NOT found any good Android phone that has the same size as the HD2.

You'd think that by now, 2012, 3 years the HD2 was released that they would have a phone that has a 4.3" display and less bezel. All the new phones (at 4.3") are much taller than the HD2's 122mm. It's disappointing..

I'm still using my HD2 on it's original WM and it's great and dependable.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] David1239:
That is an international 19300 s3 rom. Only flash roms made for the t mobile sgh-t999. There are many methods for download mode. Try pulling the battery and then hold volume down and home and power while putting battery back into phone. Then put back cover on and then plug into computer and see if Odin recognizes it even if it does not show the download mode screen. If that does not work you could buy a download mode jig. But, unfortunately, it is known that flashing international s3 roms on a US variant results in an unrecoverable brick due to the rom flashing in the wrong mount points. So consider doing a replacement.

I know the feeling, I hard bricked my last phone and had to get it replaced.

If you CAN NOT get to download mode, there is NO fix. You can continue to look for a solution that does not exist, or get it over with, either exchange it with T-Mobile (good luck), or bite the bullet with the problem YOU CREATED, and pay 60.00 of the jtag service.

I agree, I bricked my phone day 1 hr 2, CAUSE, I DID NOT READ. But I DID NOT once, even think of T-Mobile and a return, I bricked it, I paid for the service. The return service is for real problems, NOT for people who abuse the system with sh** like this. My opinion.

This drove me crazy at first too, evidently the default AOSP camera doesn't have the ability to save to the sdcard by default? In the I9300 forums I see this but I'm not sure if it'd work for us. Honestly I haven't put much more time into it because I think I might switch to something different as new roms roll out this week.

What I'd really like to know is if CM10 will always need a mod to solve this issue or if it's something that they add down the road.
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
It finally happened :( :( :( I have a big dead area on my Atrix. I can no longer type the letters T, G or V. It's weird, in Multi Touch Tester when I put my finger there, it shows points on both sides of the column. It has rendered my Atrix nearly useless. I tried formatting everything and reloading a ROM in CWM and it is still busted. I guess this is the end. Sadly, I can't get a new phone for a few more days.

I'm really disappointed by this. I don't even know what new phone I would get....

Is it even worth replacing the digitizer? It was woring fine this morning, this happened after dinner. A sad, sad day indeed :(

[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
i have the same problem (again)

fist time i hat a part of the upper screen not working now its also the letters t,g,v that seem to be dead areas.

my guesses are that i had my device running under too much heat, as i stresstested it for some periode of time with 80+°C and the letters are near the area of the cpu which was causeing much heat. well now it's just some 30-40 bucks for a new digitizer and 15mins of work for replacement.

little tip: install a cm7-rom and enable 180° rotation so you can use ur phone even in portrait mode. if you have probs with lower screen area just rotate your device ;)

I've had mine for one year with another year left until an upgrade so hoping mine doesn't go the same way. :(
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
I wish I knew this as well. It must be some sort of separation between the digitizer and the screen because wedging something between the battery and fingerprint reader can improve the touch sensor.
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
I think its overheating in general. I've never over locked this phone and even simple browsing through xda heats the CPU up to 55-60 degrees.

[Atrix 4G General] Miguelyl:
Mine started acting oddly after a drop. Some dead areas on the digitizer but more annoying were the "ghost presses", multitouch test app showed a part of the screen being constantly pressed. A quite lasting temporal fix was to press the top part of the phone, just above the screen and apply pressure for a few seconds. Don´t know why but it helps the phone remain normal for weeks, until i drop it again (my phones tend to suffer from that kind of abuse), so i guess something inside comes loose.
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
So.... considering that the screen still works somehow and it seems something just came loose... is it worth doing a teardown and build back and see if it fixes the problem?

Seeing as I'll be getting my GS3 tomorrow, I suppose I could just try it and see what happens...
[Atrix 4G General] tomh235:
When I replaced the digitizer on my atrix (I cracked the panel although it still functioned fine) the digitizer was connected to the main board with a flex cable glued to the contacts on the back of the glass across the top of the digitizer panel around the earpiece.

IMHO, the dead strips are not caused by heat as all the heat generating components are located at the bottom of the device but by moisture and dirt getting in through the earpiece cutout. As there is no proper protection around this point it can easily weaken the glue holding these connections in place as the connections for the center strip of the screen (the dead zone most people have trouble with) run behind the Motorola logo. If this area was properly isolated from the outside world, I think our digitizers would last a lot longer.

Hi guys, need some help.

If I switch carrier then phone automatically get bad Sprint ESN, right? If so, thats ok, because I dont want to use Sprint.

I've got Sprint L710 but I never used CDMA before, so little bit confused with how to get rid of that Sprint and make it work with Boost even w/o 4g.. perhaps 2g or 3g if possible. Or Virgin, doesn't really matter, the most important is prepaid plan w/o contract.

I'll make a root and even if then I install custom ROM then still will be using Sprint? Or after flashing custom ROM I can go to Boost and ask them to flash their codes?

Nobody else will help me, I hope for your understanding.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfbeef123:
As far as I know. You won't get bad esn as long as you don't have any pending balances pending.

And if you pay the early termination fee.

But I'm not sure. As far as the s3 on another net work then it would have to be flashed with whatever company your gonna use it with.

But your probably better off just selling it on craugslist or eBay and buying an unlocked international version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] escknx:
When I switched from ATT contract to TMobile prepaid I just unlocked phone, pulled out ATT sim card and go forward with TMobile. I didnt make any notifications to ATT, TMobile just transferred my number in few secs.

I mean how could I make same on CDMA? Could by example Cricket take my phone to their network? Is it possible to delete all related to Sprint from my phone, make it clean as from factory? And then come to Cricket or another CDMA carrier? In that case if I terminate Sprint contract without any notification I think ESN would be bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfbeef123:
Well if your gonna flash the phone to another carrier like cricket. Then bad esn or clean esn don't matter. Just go into a cricket store and tell them you need to flash your phone and they'll put other on their network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] escknx:
And am I be able to get at least their Cricket's 3G?

Or for that I need to go through special procedure with donors?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfbeef123:
What? lol

they should have a cricket store where they flash phones. Idk how the procedure is done, or how it affects the phones. But there might be something screwy with MMS, but you can always ask before you do it. and there might be a fix for that sort of stuff here at XDA

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfbeef123:

well if your S3 is just a brick there you can always sell it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] escknx:
They said that in New York area they flash only Cricket phones.

But even good, cause because of I that I got Verizon.
