I think Apple’s corporate belief (and this started with Jobs) is that people are really, really stupid and can’t be trusted with anything. They completely lock down their products and make them so frustratingly simple a 2 year old can use them to their full potential. They may actually believe that their users are so stupid they might mistake this polish deli for some incredible, magical new product from Apple.

Most true thing I've heard about apple and its users... and if you're an apple user in any form and are offended by this, I couldn't care less! :D

This reminds me of when Chick-fil-A went after that local grocery store guy for using the slogan "Eat more kale" to advertise the kale he was selling. They said it was too similar to their "Eat mor chikin" slogan.

[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
This feels like Apple's playing poker with the big shots like Samsung and so-forth at the table. They keep bluffing and going all in with those lawsuits. They won't be able to keep that up for long. I've spoken to many friends who are Apple users and they too are upset with the ridiculous Apple Legal Team. It isn't fair to Apple as a whole to be looked down upon at its entirety, but its the "Don" at the top calling the shots..

[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Well, I just went to the repair center after my earpiece quit working during calls (still works for voicemails which is really weird). They're ordering me a replacement Shift, again. This will be my 6th exchange (including an insurance claim). Seems like it's time they'd just get me a different damn phone lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] cdrury88:
I guess I got really lucky. I'm nearing the end of my 2 years with my shift. It has a ton of dents and scratches but never any failure. 6 phones is a lot though. If you complain enough Im sure they'd give you an early up? No?
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
my upgrade has been due since like February, and I've had this shift since January or so. I've had the shift model for over a year and a half now. I was hoping to hear some rumors about something new coming out soon that I'd be happy with for 2 years now that I'm on the 2 year cycle
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Call the " Retention " department at Sprint. Explain your on your 6th device. They will either find you a Brand new one, or work something out with you. Every time I've ever called they bend over backward to help. They do not like losing customers. Especially not these days.

doesn't work too well with the employee accounts. They aren't making money on us in the first place. When I go back in to the repair center to pick the phone up I'll probably ***** a bit and maybe see what they can do. Otherwise I might just use the buyback program and trade in a few phones towards the Evo LTE or something.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EfemaN:
I wasn't sure how to describe it in the title. I just got my GNex direct from Google yesterday. I noticed that what is displayed on the screen seems to linger for a bit after the display changes. It's especially noticeable on Google Play; I type something in the search bar, hit enter, and when the keyboard disappears, I can see outlines of the keys still there mostly faded on the dark "loading" background, going away after a few seconds. It's similar to what used to happen to older TVs/monitors if you were to leave the same image on the screen for a long time and it would "burn" on.

Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not aware of mobile displays needing any kind of training period, should I give it a few days?

EDIT:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
If it isn't permanent then it is not burn in and is not a concern.

I just got my play store galaxy nexus today and I noticed this as well. From the little searching I did sounds like this is normal. That's OK still love this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EfemaN:
It's why I added the -like at the end, I know it's not actual burn-in. I just haven't seen this elsewhere. Now I'm realizing it's common on AMOLED displays.

My original searching didn't bring up anything; I guess I should have tried different search terms. Looks like this is normal on AMOLEDs, the cells need to be exercised a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Hey all, I'm looking to get a Nexus in the next week or so and have a question. Coming from a Bionic, when I mess with my phone, I store all of my roms and nandroid backups and music and pictures on my ext. SD card so if I ever had to wipe my phone, all that stuff is still in tact. So, being that the Nexus does not have an ext. SD card, if I were to make a nandroid backup, is there somewhere on the phone I can store it to so if I have to do a wipe for some reason, it will not get deleted so I don't lose that ever so necessary backup? The same goes for roms, so I don't have to transfer a rom from my computer to the gnex or redownload it every time I have to wipe the phones memory? I tried searching for this info, but couldn't really find the answer to my question. Thanks.

If anyone could help that would be great. I rooted and unlocked my phone about 4 months ago so I could get cool droid a custom ics Rom. Then when I found out that the official Rom had come out for my device I decided to get that as I was having trouble with my battery life. So I restored a backup and downloaded the update. When I installed it boots into 4ext and trys to install but comes up with random code and says error in the location of update.

I am running unlocked bootloader, s-on and rooted

Please help
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Gonna need to be more specific than "random code and errors" lol. What error does 4ext say when you try to install the ROM?

Also are you restoring a backup, and then trying to install the ROM? If so, don't. Do a full wipe/factory reset and format all partitions (except SD card) in 4ext before installing the ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
If you're trying to update via official HTC ota with a custom recovery and unlocked/s off bootloader, you can't. That's why its failing. I would suggest trying a custom Rom based on the official update :)

[HTC Incredible S] hawkikk:
I dont have a s/off bootloader onl unlocked with htc.dev

I have uploaded the errors thanks for the quick replies
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Even if you are HTCdev unlocked, because your recovery is not stock and you have unlocked your bootloader, you can't install the update. That's why its failing.

So either re lock it and return to stock to install the ota, or download a custom rom based on the update which will give you a stock experience.
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Mark was right, you can't install official updates with an unlocked bootloader. If your looking for a stock experience I suggest flashing this ROM. It's Android revolution HD and it's based off the stock HTC ICS update but optimized for better performance. You'll also have to manually flash the boot.img since your S-ON. Follow the tutorial in this thread to learn how to flash the boot.img with fastboot.

also found this on the page do i need blackrose and s off?

You need:

HTC Incredible S S-OFF

4EXT Touch Recovery

New hboot from [HBOOT][S-OFF] BlackRose

With 2.00 i haven't found out how to do it

could you help me thanks
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
No, as of the latest update 1.5, the rom does not need blackrose anymore.

Just flash the rom and flash your boot.img and you're good to go

Please correct me if I'm wrong though, I am just assuming because of the changelog
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Haha, I would've felt like an advertisement if I told him to use my ROM. Thank you! :)

The ROM should work with revolutionary HBOOT now. Still waiting on confirmation for that though, but there's no risk to your phone the worst that could happen is the ROM won't boot.

Guess ill be testing that in an hour or so :)

RE Custom Rom Install

Hi guys

i went ahead and got s-off and blackrose for my device (the boot.img was annoying)

I installed Android Revolution HD and tried it but it wasn't quite my style

I came across the ROM: virtuous quattro which so far is great

1 small problem the lights on the bottom (home, back, menu and search) don't light up

They still work but don't light up how do i fix this

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Quattro is nearly a year old, its waaay outdated by newer roms.

If you want ICS AOSP then try Ice Cold Sandwich or Playground ICS

Or even try Codename Android which is Jellybean
[HTC Incredible S] hawkikk:
A Final Thank You

Downloading Ice Cold Sandwidge will flash later tonight

I would love to try the JellyBean but there are just way to many bugs for my liking.

I will keep looking and hopefully (albiet one by one) the bugs will be fixed.

A BIG THANK YOU to both of you guys you have been absolutely amazing. The quick responses have been great.

If there is anything I can do (thanks, like or whatever im new sorry) please tell me and i will be happy to do it

Thanks again guys. :D

Hi all..I have a GN 7000 w/ XXLRQ. and the Speedmod kernel.

I want to take and send mms using the front camera.

The stock messaging app won't allot it.

Handcent messaging won't allow it either.Although. Handcent will allow the front camera use, but NOT allow 'limit for mms video", so you cannot send for too large of a file.

Has anyone been able to use your front camera for mms sending?

And if so... what app and *how to* do you do it?

Thanks for reading. All replies are welcomed and encouraged.

Simply start writing a sms, click on the attachmet symbol in the bottom left corner and select video. The gallery opens and you can choose the video you want to send. Of course if the video is too big it won't work so I suggest you use the lowest possible resolution to record your video.

The OP's point appears to be being missed here.

They want to make a short video message using the Limit For MMS function (295KB max file size) AND Self Recording using the front facing camera simultaneously.

This to me appears one of the most obvious of uses for sending video via MMS yet the SGS2/ICS does not allow this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
you are correct sir.... cannot be done with stock or hand cent , go mms... sure wish you could... using the rear.. you have to hope that. your shot is framed right.. and spin the phone around twice while recording.. does not look good....

any other suggestions????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kozmyk:
Tried JB+ ... Needs More Work

I tried JB+ (spent £1.49)

JB+ does not appear to offer the Limit For MMS function (295KB max file size) AND Self Recording using the front facing camera simultaneously.

Neither does JB+ appear to do Macro Focus unlike the Camera app on ICS :(

JB+ appears more user friendly/dumbed down perhaps but apart from the Panoramic View function, an amusing novelty, I think this style is a backwards step.

If they restored Macro Focus and enabled Front Facing MMS then I would think better of them.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
Hi is it somehow possible to port those modded Nfc.apks to our stock 4x HD phones?

I tried some of the modded Nfc.apk, but none of them seem to work :(

NFC is pretty useless when you can't use it while screen is off.

Can anyone help to get nfc working while screen is off?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] L2Deliver:
tbh i would prefer NFC not detecting when the screen is off. imagine it going off accidentally in your pocket if so ever happens that your credit card or some other NFC 'device' activates it. the small trouble of unlocking the screen and tapping is worth the other troubles to me.

Not able to use it while screen off - we're not using the phone - is a good way to prevent negligence discharge =D army term =X
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evilandi666:
NFC is pretty useless without the option to have it always on. Google had this integrated, but changed some time ago. Most users try to get back to this state (AOSP, Cyanogen, etc.) or to let the user decide what he wants (off, activated when unlocked, activated when display on (and locked), activated when display off).

Why always on: It would be very nice to activate/deactivate things when you put your phone on your table etc without the need to unlock the phone first (then you can also push a button, so no need for nfc).

Although we have no useful NFC applications here (no payment for example), I don't think that always on is a security problem. You need to get really close to transfer something, so this shouldn't be a real security problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tollfree:
hi I have the same issue. NFC makes no sense when you have to unlock the screen first.

I have found this for the HTC One X.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1713354

Could this work on the 4X ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] G405T:
I had a shot

This issue really irritates me, so yesterday afternoon I decided to run head on at a big learning curve and have a shot at decompiling/editing/recompiling the nfc apk myself.. I flashed my edited apk, turned of the screen scanned a tag and it worked! ..Assuming it worked I left it alone..

This morning I realised that my edit only work for 15 seconds after turning on the screen :/ LG have added their own edits on top of the android source, and honestly Im not even sure what for.. Something in that code is contradicting with the android code and I can't really afford to waste more time on it atm!!

I'm attaching my half working APK file if anyone fancies playing with it.. The key value to play with is POLLING_MODE: a value of 0x1 means NFC should work with the screen off and locked; a value of 0x2 means the screen must be on but can be locked; and 0x3 means NFC will only work with the screen on and unlocked. I also made some minor edits elsewhere.

Anyways, sorry about the long post! Just trying to give people hope, as this is most definitely do-able, and probably not too difficult either.. But not by me as I really can't be doing with getting my head around smali when I am supposed to be doing other things ;)

Note:-

Attached file is intended for firmware v10f, just push the file to /system/app/Nfc.apk using abd.

If you can work out what changes about 15 seconds after the screen is turned off, I would love to hear it.

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL Nfc.apk BEFORE PUSHING THIS
[LG Optimus 4X HD] phaic:
You have to rename nfc.odex (nfc.odex.org or what you want), if you don't do this the code will be replaced with the one in the odex file after reboot.

There also an other thing with the deep sleep mode which starts after a few seconds (15-30s) . In deep sleep mode nfc is not working until the phone is waked up.

But except that your modification ist quite useful. Nfc is starting immediately after the screen is turned on and this is much better than the default behavior.
