[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I remember when I thought I was going to get my tablet the next day :p I ordered from Google, so I had to wait for UPS to bring the tablet to me.

Camped the tracking site every day, and it said the estimated date was exactly 3 days from purchase. The day it was supposed to arrive, the information on the site updated like all my other packages (left the shipping warehouse and was marked as out for delivery). Waited all day, got nothing, and eventually late in the day the order was rescheduled for like 2-3 days later :/

UPS Live support said it was a shipping mistake. Can't recall what was exactly said, but it was almost as if they were blaming Google for shipping the package later then mentioned...

Also, I never actually manually rooted my device, but would you just flash a custom recovery, push a CWM-flashable superuser file (either Superuser, or SuperSU), and then flash it for root? And then after that, I think you can install busybox somehow?

Hi all

After I updated my wildfire s to ics all is great except I am missing the play store. Could someone please tell me how I can download this to my phone again.

Many Thanks in advance
[HTC Wildfire S] SecUpwN:
In the thread of the ICS-ROM you probably flashed should be a link to the corresponding version of "GAPPS". You will have to flash that on top of your ROM to Google-ify your phone. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
When I received my nexus 7 I checked the entire device for screen lift and discovered nothing. The screen was just below the bezel. Now on the left side of the device a portion of the screen is just a tiny bit above the bezel, barely noticeable unless you are look for it. Do you think this is worth the hassle to RMA? I also just recently had a random reboot when I tried to access the setting menu and it would not load (My nexus 7 is stock).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
The random reboot could and should be fixed by a factory reset, as for the screen lift it is personal preference, does it bother you that much that you would want to be without a device for a when just to fix it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akbar26:
I'd say yes. Forget about the random reboot, if its only one its probably an anomaly. I think screen lift is enough of a reason to RMA it. Its a manufacturing defect and it could get worse. In the end it is up to you however.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
The new "fix" Asus came up with on the C80's to remove 2 screws will not make it worst, in fact it will fix the screen warping. Here it is mines without the 2 screws:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
There have been fix threads about tightening the screws and there have been fix threads about loosening the screws. Both methods received rave reviews until users started reporting that the lift came back. Both fixes ended in a crescendo of disappointment.

Tighten!

Loosen!

I can't explain it, but at some point in the process of removing the back cover, fiddling, then replacing the back cover, either an effective temporary solution or a powerful placebo takes effect.

Although I haven't seen a fix thread about completely removing select screws, every other screw fix was at one point considered successful.

Maybe give it a little time before spreading the good news.

Edit: Both of these threads contain user experiences with screw removal. Worth reading.

[Motorola Droid X2] mellonjollie:
Just installed MIUI 2.8.10 and it was working fine all day. Went to check it about an hour ago and the headphone indicator is on and nothing will play through the phone's speaker.

I've tried plugging headphones in and removing them, taking the battery out and rebooting, cleaning out the headphone jack for debris, and toggling silent mode off and on again.

I'm hoping there is a simple solution that I'm forgetting and I don't have to attempt a hardware fix like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808262

And I would like to avoid a complete reinstall of the ROM.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
My brother had this happen to his Droid x. It ended up being hardware failure. If yours is out of warranty I would tell them it seems to be a known issue with the phone and you should insisit its their fault.

A of that being said I would do a nandroid and then sbf to make sure its not software related.
[Motorola Droid X2] styleKIMCHEE:
I think that it is a hardware failure, or it has debris in it. I understand you cleaned it but you should try again, my brother's phone used to think its charging when it wasn't but we cleaned the port and it stopped.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has tried to install Beats audio

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncoding.beats

It should run even under stock firmware (root needed) and it's supposed to increase audio performances. I'm not sure it can be easily uninstalled, and someone says it could damage the system.

Opinions about it?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fernoct:
I have installed in the custom rom [GB] GxG JellyBread & in rooted Google Nexus & noticed a big difference.

What it does is replace the original system audio related files. If you're installing it, there's no turning back - uninstalling the app would not revert back the rom's original files. It will only remove beats logo (the one appears when headset plugs in).

If ur not sure what ur about to play with, always take a nandroid backup mate! cheerz!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gabripranzo:
Sorry my answer so late.

Which version did you install? I had a look at some Beats Audio threads and I'm quite confused. Thanks a lot.

It is called content adaptive backlight control. It operates on a different level than system brightness. I don't think you can disable it on touchwiz.

Dont know and can't check right now if the video player had this or not. Check in settings of the app for it.

In case you missed my post last on last page, samsung removed this in the update, so you won't have to bother with it if you go to a later build. It was only in UVALEM and UVALG1 I believe.

They did this for extra battery life, but I dont use auto brightness so it annoyed the hell outta me!

Actually yes, this did solve my problem. I knew there had to be a menu of some kind in the video. I just kept hitting the menu button while video playing, and never worked. Thanks alot.

Never noticed if i have this problem with video but it happens all the time when I pick a picture to view in gallery. It just goes darker. Happens when I use the browser also which is mega annoying. Soon as I hit the internet icon, it goes a couple shades darker, then loads the browser. When I close the browser, it gets brighter before it closes. I'm dead stock except for the lone update. Any way around this would be great.

Within the stock browser hit the menu key. Itll be a choice for brightness if you scroll down a little bit. Change from there. If i helped hit thanks. :)

Seems like the wifi ain't turn off even when I choose (in advance manu) "keep wifi on..." only when plugged in or never.

Nothing really helps..I can still see its on (also on battery monitor) when the device is on deep sleep.

Alao there is no app or service that running and required wifi while it last...

Sometimes its turn it off after ~30 min, sometimes after more then 3 hours (if so).

Anyone have any idea how to make it work or why is it happens?

Well looks like it is not permanent, sometimes its took 1hr of screen off to get wifi sleep and sometimes took 30min to turn it off.

What could it be ??

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proda:
Hi guys,

I will be moving to the US (Chicago) next month and I have a few questions for my good Defy friends:

- Will I be able to use my unlocked Defy in the US with 3G speeds and/or HSDPA speeds?

- Is there a carrier that will let me use my phone and give me cheaper prices?

- For new voice+data plans, can I get unlimited for cheap somewhere with good coverage?

- What baseband and GPS settings should I use there?

I'm from Serbia/Europe, and I'm using my Defy with standard Central Europe baseband now and europe gps fix.

I looked around some carriers in US and I think maybe Sprint has some unlimited data plans? Could I use my Defy on their network?

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsrars-d:
I dont see any reason why it would not work, just use correct baseband ;)

E: also im not from usa, so i dont know about us carrier plans but as long as it is unlocked, it should work fine on Sprint network
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proda:
Oh really? But which baseband to use in Baseband selection settings in CM7.2 if I want to use Sprint or Verizon or AT&T network?

There is only baseband for TMobile, but 2 or 3 of them though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Pints:
from what i know, you will need to use a GSM based operator, some operators in the USA use a system called CDMA, also your speeds may be slow to very slow on T-mobiles USA system as they use a wierd system for data, one frequency for uploads and another for downloads thats not used anywhere else.

Anotheir thing thats worth taking note of is that some US networks charge for incoming calls and texts ( or take incoming calls and texts form your alowance of minutes and texts/sms)

So you need to find an operator that uses a GSM system

you need to have your phone unlocked to work with any sim card

and you should try and find a service that deosnt charge for incoming calls and texts ( or that doesnt take these from your inclusive minutes/texts)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
If your phone is rooted (and since you're on xda I'm sure it is) install baseband switcher and download the baseband you need.

Sprint and Verizon use CDMA, so your Defy won't work with them.

T-Mobile and AT&T use GSM.

Your european Defy uses 900 and 2100 MHz for 3G. AT&T uses 850 and 1900 MHz, so you'll be stuck with their slow EDGE network.

T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100 MHz for 3G. Their 2100 MHz band is compatible with your Defy.

If you want to use 3G on your european Defy then T-Mob is your only option.

An american contract without phone costs almost as much as a contract with a subsidized phone, so you may as well get a phone with american 3G/4G frequencies. Contractless options are ridiculously expensive with all sorts of stupidity such as "daily access fees." Prepaid texts and minutes usually have draconian expiration policies. Some carriers make you register your phones with them, and they only accept phones from a list of "approved phones." From a european point of view, american cell phone service and pricing is a mess.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proda:
Yes, my phone is rooted (the 1st day I bought it I rooted it and installed custom ROM :) ), and it's sim free (unlocked).

And I'm using CM7 so I have preinstalled baseband switcher.

In baseband switcher, when I go to America I have only T-mobile bands: T-mobile 3.4.2-107-9, 3.4.2-107-4 and 6.xx.0.

Which one is the best to use?

Yes I saw that it is a quite a mess with cell phone services in US. It's pretty expensive too (for plans that I have in Serbia). And one have to read all the tinny little words at the end of page (you have to pay for INCOMING SMS/MMS, or for INCOMING calls, and some stupid stuff like that)

So you suggest that I just take full pack - plan+mobile device? I saw that Verizon has the best 4G network in US. Maybe take that? Or you suggest something else? (I would like to have around 1gb of Data per month - that is UNLIMITED Data for me, and possibly free SMS and at least 300min of calls. And of course not to pay that too much - I saw some UNLIMITED Data plan in Sprint, but it is around 80$/month or more).

Now I pay 10$/month for plan that has 600mb/300minCalls/600sms.

Thanks for info one more time.

Cheers.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deonix:
They will rip you off for 4G data plans. As i saw (out of curiostiy), expensive as hell.

The best way is to relax a bit and once you arrive there figure out the best solution for you and your family. It's simplier to go the brick and mortar store and discuss then to speculate here. They have some family packages that may be good.

And yes it will be better to buy a new phone with contract there. You might as well sell this Defy in Serbia. "leave old things in the past"
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
When you buy an american phone, Google your unlock options first. When you're back in Serbia for holidays you'll probably want to use your shiny new phone with a serbian SIM card.

Where I live carriers only lock phones on prepaid plans, but american carriers have the annoying habit of locking all their phones, even if you buy them on a two year contract.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deonix:
And Verizon is Simless as i know.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
I assume you're in the US by now. Have you chosen what to do? I have a US Tmobile defy, and use tmobile prepaid service. 2gb at 4g (3g for defy) speeds then unlimited data at Edge speed is $60/month. that includes unlimited talk and txt.

I don't know which baseband is better either. I'm on 3.4.2-107-4 and haven't had any problems. I've also wondered which is better. I've thought maybe 107-4 is 2g and 107-9 is 3g? and when you switch on 2g/3g it switches itself? I really don't know though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proda:
I wish I'm in the US now. But it seems that employers forgot about all the paperwork required to obtain working visa for US :silly:, so imo I'll be in the US around 1st of January 2013.

Then I can try to answer your questions :)

But I think I will buy Nexus 4 as soon as I get my 1st paycheck. :fingers-crossed:

I would prefer GSM phone so I could be able to use it when I come to Serbia on vacations. (I heard that iPhone 5 on Verizon is SIM card FREE so it is possible to use it with any GSM carrier:rolleyes: But that is IPHONE. Who needs that!:eek: )

I still don't know which carrier I will chose. I saw one that looks nice and it is prepaid, maybe it has postpaid too (RedPocket)

I will be mostly in Chicago and Boston, so I think this carrier would be OK.

Or maybe T-mobile...

But before I buy new phone I'll have to choose SIM card to use it on my good old Defy. If you say T-mobile works for you, then I'll get that one (or this RedPocket if I find it somewhere).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demodl:
HI!

I have a similar problem. I moved to the US (Chicago) for a few months. I have a defy with cm10 installed. Up to date at this point.

I bought a t-mobile prepaid simcard. I get only edge speed. According to what I read, T-mobile uses 1700MHz and 2100 MHz for the 3G. Actually both are required!

When I select baseband there are the three options for t-mob, but none of them work (at the details of the options, both 1700 and 2100 are mentioned). I also tried defy baseband switcher.

Is it even possible to use 3G on T-mobile with this phone? If yes, how?
