I think you need a Digitizer

If you still can see the boot screen everytime you boot up the phone than I think you need a Digitizer or the touch screen. This part is seperated from the lcd which show us the pictures.

I had changed my touch screen once before, and my "Digitizer" is ~ $40:

​

On the other hand this is the LCD, price ~ $30:

​

You can see they are totaly different so you should not be confused

Also notice that P920 and P925 have the same display & touch parts

Hi there

As the title suggest, i'm looking for the FTF of a generic world 4.1.B.0.587 rom for the Arc S (LT18i). Generic World will do even though I'm in South Africa.

thats Greece
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
So did anyone test this ROM from the link above? Is it Generic Global, or not... In another topic, somebody said that this IS NOT Generic Global.

However, there is another link for Generic Central Europe ROM:

https://hotfile.com/dl/167361348/43349db/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf.html

Still waiting for Generic Global, or somebody to confirm that the one linked in second post, IS Generic Global.

I want to know what ya'll think?How do you guy feel about beats audio?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I won't miss Beats at all, it's a terrible thing. It only makes crap headphones sound better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gutrrob:
Good read!

I'm surprised no manufacture has a TV tuner installed on there device! Watch football OTA without a data connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Next year's Evo at $100 or $150 not a bad idea. What they need to do is be more timely on their updates and allow us to frigging use m10 tools
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I hope its not a 100$ evo.

Then it wont be as exclusive ..they just need to beat Sammy.. Samsung knew the gs3 had nothing on the HOX so what they do..add a GB of ram..and now everyone who has a gs3 uses that as the reason as to why its better ..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
It is very unlikely that HTC is going to beat Samsung in the near future. Samsung is outselling HTC almost 10 to 1. The GS3 is going to sell better because people will be more attracted to it because Samsung is the more popular brand. I will guarantee you that most of the sales that these phones see are from people who wouldn't even know the difference between 1GB of RAM and 2GB of RAM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
It's all about keeping up to date with their phones. Releasing updates to the OS a year after they've been released isn't the way to keep loyal customers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Beats was one of the selling points for me as a semi-pro musician and audiophile. Combined with my high-end Ultimate Ears, it is unbeatable. Amazing!

With that said, cutting profit margins and releasing a flagship phone, instead of a chain of phones that are indecipherable and confusing would be a good idea for HTC. At least give them memorable, highly-marketable names, and pummel the target audience with effective advertising.

The recent HTC commercial was an epic fail.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
I agree with beats audio,they make my ultimate ears sound really nice. Also my car blutooth and friends cars sound really nice with beats audio. I don't see how anyone could not like them. I listen to very high end equipment and beats audio is awesome,sadly the feature is 100x better then there headphones. :P

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] celticking:
I don't agree with removing beats from future phones. It's not a deal maker but a nice touch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I'll be honest.. I really liked the way my phone sounded with beats.. so much so I bought a pair of tours... anyways I do believe using Apollo with cm10 seems louder to me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willy900wonka:
Meaningless read, HTC could if it would and would if it could, it might since it could.

So back to reality. I rock the green house with beats over blue tooth into an installed system. Great sound, @ no 3g the battery drops about 3.5% an hour with bluetooth and gps on.

A nice strategy might be to compare HTC's "connectivity range" vs the rest. Of course they would have to build it like the OG. Sprint could then lower it's costs by having less towers, or Sprint could then claim to have increased it's network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I personally think the DOC is more responsible for the improved sound than Beats. I have musician's ears and thousands of dollars of audio equipment, and I never turn beats on because all I hear is an increase in bass and a muddied mid-bass. Not a fan of it. ESPECIALLY the headphones, which are a complete rip-off!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Yea they are..I just liked the way they looked... now I'm looking into getting some klipsch s4's as I've read they sound better and are alot cheaper ..I liked the tours but I'm over them now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
That's a MUCH better set of headphones. Also look into Sennheiser, and Polk. Good bang for your buck! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I wish there was an "I love you for this post" button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Hahaha I guess XDA is worried about bromance issues... I would have used that on a lot of your rant posts too. :p

But seriously, come on with this Beats Audio mumbo jumbo. It's a freakin' EQ! We HAVE those already. Only I can actually control mine, instead of having one preset mode only. Eh, whatever. If it sells, good for HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Yeah, beats is kind of a gimmick imo. Just good marketing for people who automatically think it means audio will sound better on this phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dragonavis:
so absolutely true
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dan_:
You mean DAC? Anyone figure out what dac the lte evo has? Samsung uses Wolfson but I've never heard one to compare with lte evo.

Beats is bass garbage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lawnguy:
I listen to almost exclusively heavy music, with lower tuned guitars and lots of crunch and what not. But, I have to say this beats software on this phone really cleans up the audio. I hate the powerbeats I just bought. But, with my regular set I can hear everything in the production of the music with this music player. The reverbs on the voice, the room effects on the band, etc. I like beats eq. It's hard for me to believe its just an eq though. There's got to be background clean up going on as well...or at least processing....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MillionManMosh:
I'm all for HTC staying competitive, but brand devaluation isn't the way to do it.

An analogy would be a fast food chain in a sales slump dropping menu prices and releasing coupons with the intent to get people back into stores. It works as a short term strategy- cutting into profit margins while increasing volume- but it attracts the wrong kind of customer, and quality inevitably slips.

Better to have a smaller but dedicated fanbase than to sacrifice quality for mass appeal. Word of mouth is the best way to build brand recognition, if not necessarily the fastest.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
The us sgs3 doesn't have a Wolfson.. it has the same built in DAC that's provided with the s4 chip set I believe
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Precisely. Same as Monster cable. Gimmick, but sells fantastic!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
i never used beats a day in my life. been rocking AOSP roms, i'll take AOSP over sense+beats anyday. what htc needs to do is release source in a timely manner, keep their bootloaders unlock and/or make a nexus device with vanilla android.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noneed2aim:
Its actually pretty simple, they need to just listen to the consumer, release updates in a timely fashion, release source code in timely fasion, and than market it as such, the quality of the phone is already there, the specs of the phone already there, it's just updates in general and there marketing approach. I just hope that there strategy of lowering the cost of the phone doesnt take from that cuz that would be going backwards. There somewhat in the right direction since they seem to be constantly debloating sense, and making less phones which in the long run seems like that could benefit for faster updates

Sent from my butt
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rtnnyc:
I think HTC should try that strategy for a few years, until their brand gets more recognition, and then price their products similar to others. They need to keep making lots of money if apple will keep suing every android phone maker. They can succeed as long as their phones are still top-notch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quis89:
I do know my beats headphones sound much better on my LTE than on my Galaxy Nexus. Even after trying to manipulate the eq settings on my Nexus I couldn't match how it sounded on my Evo. So the beats audio definitely does something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Yes I do, thanks for the clarification. :)

I know that everyone perceives "good sound" differently, but your Nexus and an EQ should blow Beats Audio away.

Regardless, you would have to compare your Nexus to the EVO with Beats off to see what the biggest difference-maker is. Again, it is likely the DAC that is superior to the Nexus' DAC. If you only notice the difference with Beats on... well... I can't help you then. Haha I just don't like cranked bass and treble.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mprunty:
I'm all for this strategy. There are signs of the reduced prices now. Sam's Club has the EVO 4G LTE for $98.88, which is the same price as the Nexus, and $50 cheaper than the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4s

dropped my Vivid yesterday, battery fell out. Put it back together, and started it up. It runs through the white HTC screen, Beats Audio, ATT bubbles, then runs through the ICS Android app upgrading screen.

Then it goes blank. The backlight is still working, the orange light comes on when plugged in. The screen isn't broken, took it apart and checked all of the connections, can't get the hard reset to show either, nothing.

Did try to root a while ago, but the flash didn't take, phone ran fine for 3 weeks after till i dropped it.

any suggestions?

Recently My S3's Google Play app has been crashing quite often. Sometimes two times a day. about 50% ratio. Anyone else having this problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witwolf:
Hello All!

I am running the latest CM10 Jelly Bean ROM ( 8/21 nightly) and really like it for the most part - seems to be smooth, no major issues (well, keep reading), installed easily enough etc. I am pretty experienced with Android and flashing, etc.

I've had a problem that started with the ROM..my phone shuts off completely when it's charging and reaches a full charge. It's happened a couple of times. And yes, it IS charging, it's not the battery running low. lol. I reflash an ICS ROM and the problem goes away.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
What kernel are you running? Is it the stock kernel or did you flash devil kernel? If you flashed devil, did you modify any of the settings with the devil control app? If you did not install devil and are running with their default kernel, have you changed the settings at all? Have you UVed at all? OCed?

Also, is it really turned off completely? Like, the whole green battery charging symbol...or is it a SOD? If it's a SOD, it could likely be a kernel thing, which is why I asked all those kernel related questions ^^...although in hindsight, I should have probably asked this first, and then moved to asking about the kernel lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witwolf:
Hello Xenoism!

Thank you so much for the reply. And shame on me for not giving you all of the information! I should know better! LOL.

So to answer your second question first, it turned off completely. When I press the power button, it switches on, boots up and shows a fully charged battery.

I've also noticed that the CHARGE indicator is not working...it does not show when my phone is charging (the icon in the notification bar).

I AM using the Devil kernel (1.2.1 I believe it is) as is, without any modifications except I OC to 1.3 or 1.4GHz. I've made no changes to the Voltages.

I suppose if I just reflash without DEVIL I can see if the problem continues. That really should have been my first step, right?

Again, thank you!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
No problem at all, just trying to help ^^;

Trying out the stock kernel might be best, since from my experience things like this tend to be the result of some kernel related issue. If you're certain its not a sleep of death (which can be easily mistaken as the device being off, since the phone will appear off and you will need to hold the power button in order for the phone to reboot), and you haven't undervolted at all, then the answer becomes a tad more tricky. Off the top of my head, I might suggest downloading "Cpu Spy" from the market for free, and checking to see while charging what frequency your phone likes to stick around at....if for some reason the phone is staying higher than 100, it may be simply the result of it overheating overnight while charging which causes it to turn off. ^^
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Make sure you do not have deep idle selected! I had the same issue. I also have an issue with charging icon (not status bar though). When phone is off and charging the battery icon doesn't turn green and show charge level, however it is charging. It doesn't effect performance at all so no worries.

Running helly 0817 with latest devil kernel.

Its peanut butter jelly(bean) time...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
It is possible that because of your high overclocking, when the battery becomes high, the phone's voltage gets messed up our something and your phone shuts off.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witwolf:
Thank you for the great reply and usefull information. I actually left my phone at my sister's the other day and she lives in another city, lol, and am using a temporary replacement so I haven't had a chance to investigate further. But once I get the phone back I'll look into the Cpu Spy and also using the default kernel.

Again, thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witwolf:
Thanks for the feedback!

As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I left my phone in another city :( so I'll have to wait to get it back to check it out and look into the deep sleep issue...I appreciate the help and ideas!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rpdmatt:
This is for the US Cellular Galaxy S3.

Recently I had encrypted my phone and the Galaxy forced me to use a password for my lock screen, which is fine; I wouldn't expect it to allow any less secure method, but I have since unencrypted the device and still find myself unable to change my lock screen preferences. When I go into Settings>Security>Screen Lock I am prompted to confirm my password and then I am presented with the alternative screen lock options. The problem is that everything is greyed out except for the Password option. Every other screen lock method is greyed and says 'Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage' and I can't select anything.

I just want to change back to a PIN but it won't let me :(

I have tried going into 'Device Administrators' to clear something out or just see what I could do in there and there are no device administrators available. Also, I have tried the 'Clear credentials' option, to no avail.

I'm running stock 4.0.4 ROM, rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nlanter95:
I had that issue before, but clearing the credentials fixed it for me. It happened after i installed a VPN. You may want to just wipe your phone and go fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
There's an option to encrypt the contents of your phone (under Security, I think). If that's enabled for some reason, it might force you to use the most secure option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rpdmatt:
The phone had already been decrypted by the time I was trying to change the screen lock.

Interestingly the options came available after I decrypted the SD card that I had in the phone. The only reason I didn't do this before was because I had initially taken the SD card out of the phone thinking that would alleviate me of any restrictions that it might be causing regarding the lock screen, or anything else for that matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcw3118:
I had this issue as well after installing a VPN on a different device and clearing the credentials fixed it for me as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidUser133:
lock screen options greyed out

ANSWER

I had this problem on my S3 (firmware ver 4.4.2) recently when I set up a VPN connection and I was forced to change from a pattern screen lock to a 4-digit pin lock. After testing and removing the VPN connection I could not change my screen lock back to pattern because nearly all screen lock options were greyed out. After hours of calls to Verizon and Samsung I found a solution that worked for me.

Go to Settings\Application Manager.

Slide the column headings to view ALL.

Scroll down to the apps that start with S, and look for the app SECURITY POLICY UPDATES. Tap it to open its settings. Then tap CLEAR CACHE. Next tap CLEAR DATA.

Restart your device.

Go to Settings/Lock Screen and all the previously greyed out lock screen options should no longer be greyed out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
You'll probably never find a CM9 port for it when CM10 is developed as far as it is. Its already officially supported by the CM team. It would be a lot of work for a huge step backwards. That's like asking why Windows Vista isn't being ported over when you already have Windows 7.

I assume you're asking because of current issues with CM10? And because of these issues you're thinking that CM9 will do fine for now since its so well developed? Actually, all the same problems (sort of) would exist for CM9 but in a different manner. Hardware compatibility still would have to be smoothed out, drivers, RIL, etc etc. Its not cut and dry.

If that's not why you're wondering, then disregard everything I just said...lol.
