No for yours id guess dirt/dust/pocket lint, if it wasnt software or physical damage related. Since it wasn't working properly in recovery I'd guess it was a physical issue since you changed kernels that would indicate it was happening on different software's. I've seen quite a few threads around here of ppl having their power button break from using it alot, since yours suddenly started working again I'd guess it got something like dust/pocket lint caught in there which made it stick and your pressing on it worked it loose. If you carry it in your pocket alot you'd be surprised how much dust and lint will get in there in a week! Its like a magnet, probably caused by the small amount of static electricity generated by the touchscreen. I take my hard shell case off once a week and clean it, my phone's covered in little pieces of lint and dust that gets in between the case and phone and then it works its way down into all of the.cracks, like around the screen and around the charger and headphone ports and the little groove around the power and volume buttons. I know I'd much rather go thru a little bit of work and take it apart and check for dirt and clean it than give up my phone that I know what its been thru for a refurbished one I have no clue what happened to it before that caused it to be sent in to get refurbished and given out to the next sucker who placed a claim(not saying you're a sucker, that's just what asurion thinks everyone is)

ETA: also when you take it apart and check for dirt and.clean it you can examine the power button for physical damage(cracks, chips, something broken off entirely) and then if you find something damaged you'll know you should go ahead and have it replaced before it fails permanently :thumbup:

If you can find someway to boot into recovery, then you could mount the internal storage and connect a USB cable and access them/copy them.

My HTC HD 7 vibrated and re-booted automatically and is stuck at the HTC

screen for a while

I tried taking off the battery and it does the same thing again.

Wht should i do? I read about the memory card issue? Isnt the memory card

on the HTC HD 7 built in and cant be taken out?

How am I supposed to replace it?

please help and ty in advance
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Is there anymore information you can give as to why this happened? Were you updating the device when this happened?

The SD card can be replaced. There's some disassembly required but not too much and its pretty easy.

I've upgraded my SD card from the original 16gb to a 32gb. There's a tutorial here on how to do it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883582

It's possible but I'm not sure that is the problem though. Typically when the device gets stuck on the HTC splash sreen it's a software issue.

Can you get into bootloader mode? Power off device, (you'll have to pull the battery and put it back in) hold down the volume down button and power the device back on while continuing to hold down the volume down button. This will take into bootloader mode a tri-colored screen.

Copy and post back the information back from the bootloader screen and we can go from there!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDVnatgae:
I wasnt updating the phone. The phone was just sitting on my table and did a re-boot on its own.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Well the bootloaders not damaged...so that's a good thing!

Not to rule out but usually if there is an issue with the SD card you would have received an error notification of some sort before hand unless all at once it fried. It's highly unlikely that the SD card may have come unseated in the slot, because it clicks and lock into the slot and there is also a strip of strong tape around the slot to hold it in place even more securely.

I think the next easiest step would be to do a hard reset and see if that will fix the problem. You will lose all your data though!

Power off device (you'll have to pull the battery and reinsert it) Power the device on while holding down both the volume up and down buttons.

Follow the prompts on the screen to hard reset, which is volume down.

If that doesn't fix it, the next steps would be too:

1. Flash a stock/shipped rom to the device.

2. ace the SD card with a new one.

I tried to reset it by holding volume up and down keys And Pressing the Switching key but after that again got the same result.. What is the Problem? M very tense
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
@Ismail Arshad, sorry for the late response.

Usually when an update fails or is aborted that far into the update process, you get an incomplete flash of the rom to the device.

I would recommend flashing the device with a PreNoDo or a NoDo Stock/shipped rom via the Goldcard method. This should get the device to boot back up and running like normal. After the device is flashed with the Pre-NoDo/NoDo stock rom then you can re-update the device through Zune or go through the process of flashing a custom rom because the devices SPL will be downgraded at this point, all you have to do is install RSPL/HSPL to the device and the flash a custom rom of your choice.

Follow the goldcard method tutorial here to get your device up and running again -

I have this weird problem with the shell on the device itself where the cursor is couple spaces off the actual typing position, so it is quite confusing. I'm running KyanROM 1.28. I tried it in "terminal emulator", "Connectbot" and "ROM toolbox", same problem so I believe it is not an application related, it is either shell binary problem or some system settings. See the screenshot. I was typing there "ls -l" and cursor is couple positions to the right.

I've not messed with MetaMorph in quite some time, but it does exactly what you're asking for. Copy the .apk to your pc, extract it and delete everything but the images, edit the images to the theme you want, create a metamorph file for it, and apply via metamorph.

Doing so will change the apk's signature, which means you won't be able to update through the play store. Instead, make a backup with titanium backup, uninstall the app, install the latest version from the play store, and restore your data. Then reapply the metamorph (which should work across multiple builds until they change the UI) and you're set.

I feels good to be on a phone platform that isn't stagnant. After owning an LG S-Class phone and a Bada phone, having Android feels like Christmas has come early. However I am left majorly confused as to my options on various things.

I have tried to read and understand the benefits of rooting my phone. I've only found one negative in that Google Play movies won't work. Other than that it seems like a great thing to do. However after reading and trying to understand everything, I was left more confused than ever before. So far I've found 4 different methods to root a phone. Which method does one go for? Then there's the super user access, busybox, yellow triangle, again it's confusing.

I would like to root my phone to achieve the following:

- Be able to shutoff various services and things to get better battery life.

- Get access to all of the cool rooted apps out there, like the ones from Chainfire etc.

- Play some of the Tegra games.

- And I'm sure other things I havn't yet discovered or am aware of.

I would like to also know what are the options for being able to install copied paid apps etc. On the iPhone it was easy once you jailbroke a phone, but on Android I'm again confused on this part. I know there is an option to be able to install apps from an untrusted source, but it seems there has to be more to this than that.

Then the thing that confuses me the most is the huge amount of custom roms. Then you have kernels thrown in as well. I've gone into information overload trying to get up to speed with everything and this part seems too large a scope to get my head around it so quickly. I don't have any problem with my stock ICS really, but then I don't know what I'm missing on the custom side of things.

I'm sure I sound like a complete noob. That's ok, I am when it comes to Android. For my previous phones I was flashing custom roms, and doing all kinds of things. Maybe it's not all as confusing as I think, but right now I'm having a hard time getting a good picture on things when it comes to my new Galaxy S2 phone.

I would greatly appreciate someone being able to help me with some of these questions rather than telling me to gtfo or use the search function. I've tried, but now after overloading on stuff, I've taken a step back. I've been trying to find a website, page or post that might answer my questions in a way that I can get my head around it all. In the end I choose an Android phone because of the customizations, and for the community that is doing great things. I'd like to join the party :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Superuser access, busybox, and yellow triangle are not root methods. Superuser is what you get when you root the phone, and it allows root apps to get superuser access to do certain root things, if you grant the app those permissions. Busybox is some sort of utility (I don't know much about it, actually. Shrugs) that you can only get on Android once its rooted. Required for titanium backup and some other root programs. I think it was originally on linux. The yellow triangle is a Samsung only thing, basically it counts how many times you have flashed custom firmware and kernels onto your phone. The app triangle away resets the counter so you can claim a warranty if the phone breaks without the triangle giving you away. You can choose your root method, some are one click and others are the traditional method.

Installing the .apk of a paid app? That's a no-no. To answer your question, you can install a non market app without root and there isn't really another side of that. (Maybe you're talking about license verification?)

Custom ROMs are firmware (you know that, since you said you've done it before. The advantages are usually a later version of Android that your manufacturer stopped on, a stock non skinned Android experience (your S2 has touchwiz), and tweaks/other features to make it faster/cooler. For example, ParanoidAndroid allows you to switch between tablet and phone modes easily, and the entire cyanogenmod series has a built in theme engine as well as many options in the CM settings.

Custom kernels (or just kernels) manage the CPU and GPU. Different kernels allow overclock/underclock better battery saver and performance settings, and simply CPU management.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrazyKong:
Thanks for the reply gagdude.

The custom roms thing is indeed confusing lol. You have files for modems, kernels, and it goes on. How does one even know if they need a new modem file I wonder. I imagine people probably flash their phones on a daily basis. What to speak of choosing a new kernel.

At any rate, being that this is my first android phone, and my second Samsung one, I'm quite happy with the Touchwiz interface as it's familiar.

I understand more now what a kernel does, unless I'm mixing in some things I've seen that look like a completely different UI. I might look at that at some point, but for now my stock ICS 4.0.3 on the S2 seems quite ok. So really it's now just choosing a method of rooting it.

As for installing the .apk of a paid app, yes that was what I was referring to. It was possible on jailbroken iphones installing .ipas, but I don't know if it is on Android. When you say a no-no, are you referring to it can't be done, or that it can, but it's a topic that cannot be discussed here?
