Hey guys, I posted this in the general forums but didn't get much help, so I'll throw it here, in case it's a phone-specific problem.

Using ROM manager, I flashed CWM Recovery and made a backup. I wiped data and cache, flashed CM10, messed around and decided that I liked Touchwiz better. So I wiped my data and cache (not sure if that was necessary but I guess it couldn't hurt) and restored my ROM. the first thing I noticed was that my blank home screens that I deleted were back. No huge deal, I just got rid of them (but shouldn't a backup keep all my settings?)

The next thing I noticed was some lag when I press buttons in the settings menu. Now, the phone was still very new to me before I flashed CM10 so maybe that's just my mind playing tricks on me, but on my old Droid 3 after flashing back to recovery I remember my gallery loading noticeably slower.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before? And sorry if I broke any rules about posting twice/if this is the wrong section, I looked around but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

If you use Titanium Backup, then backing up and restoring your apps on a clean install may result in better performance.

It's trying to collect all the previous data. I had the same issue. I had to wipe data to make it faster again.. good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakysnake16:
I got an lg marquee for sprint (ls855) for free and I want to root. I'm pretty sure its updated as its on gingerbread 2.3.4. Is there any way to root it or flash it to boost easily if it can be rooted that way. I can't find any way to do it and I really want it rooted and/or on boost. Thanks for the help guys :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyharrywk:
I've been searching for some time now. My other phone is the Boost LG Marquee and from what I've read if your phone has been updated as of now you will not be able to root the phone. I also read that to root our phones we would have to restore the old version before the update. From there I believe super oneclick will work.

My problem is finding instructions to restore the older version.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Al3xxxinho:
Hello guys.

Just bought a second hand Galaxy S and i'm experiencing some problems with it.

The phone works normal, but when I connect it to my pc, nothing happens. No ding, beep, no new device detected, NOTHING ! ( tried it on several pc's, with the same result ). The thing is that the phone sees the usb connection as normal, charges and asks me which mode to select ( samsung kies, mass storage, etc etc ).

First, i thought that should be software related, so my next move was to boot it into download mode, and flash another firmware. But download mode doesn't work either. I shut down my phone, press volume down, home and power, the i9000 splash screen appears, and then it shuts down for maybe 0.5 - 1s and takes it back from the begining ( splash screen shutdown, splashscreen shutdown ), just like a bootloop. If i release the buttons it will boot normally.

Recovery mode doesn't work also.

My software is android 2.1 update 1.

Later edit:

Here are 2 videos describing my problem:

1) usb cable connected, nothing happens on pc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-QIDxWl_Ag&feature=youtu.be

2) some kind of bootloop when trying to boot in download mode

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as21h3vbncY&feature=youtu.be

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your time !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JulesMarcus1234:
Try updating it to begin with to 2.3.5 ir 2.3.6 (don't knof if kies is going to work at 2.3.6 it doesn't on sgs+)

Hey guys,

It seems the evo camera is better at taking pictures then the gs3 to me. It snaps it faster ant focuses better and the burst shot doesn't have to go into a different picture mode. But I noticed the evo showe full screen pictures I'm gallery where as the gs3 has black borders around the pics either on the side or top n bottom. Is there anyway to mame it display full screen photos ?

Hi, does anyone know where is it possible to find the replacement of the flat cable connecting the SATA hdd to the board? I went through a very close search in Internet, but I could not find any source. Any help will be appreciated.

Edit october 05:

It is very sad to see there is no way to escape from the monopoly of a company. They do not offer any repair service after the guarantee has expired (they offer you a 25% discount if you agree to buy a new unit) and there is no place where you can find spare parts.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:

[HTC One X] DudX:
First of all i unlocked the bootloader the htcdev way.

Then installed cwm touch.

Downloaded my choice of rom Aokp_Evita-jb-rohan-build 3

Then flashed boot img via fastboot.

Installed rom via cwm and did whipe and all.

Now on boot it gets stuck on HTC boot logo.

Have reflashed a bunch of times.

What do i do wrong?
[HTC One X] et4g:
Try this

Fastboot boot recovery (whatever recovery).img

Then it will boot into the recovery itself then just do a full wipe and flash

Make sure u have a recovery img

In sdk folder
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Evita is the codename for the dual core one x, this is the forum for the tegra3 one x. Which version do you have
[HTC One X] DudX:
Oh snap...

My fault then. How could i miss that.

I am on a 4cored Swedish 16gb:s version.

Isnt my phone called international in the forums Then?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Wait if you have quad-core then you do have the international version, but you're trying to flash something meant for the dual core version
[HTC One X] DudX:
Yes i realized that. Hehe.

Now stuck.

How do i push rom zip to internal sd from computer? Cant switch It to mass-storage right now :-/
[HTC One X] BigFatTony:
hmmm.

maybe this will help:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_One_X

look at the "Total recovery - flashing a RUU to completely restore your phone"-paragraph. then you can start fresh.

it's probably possible to send a zip-file via usb through the recovery to the sd-card. which custom recovery do you use?
[HTC One X] DudX:
I will try that when im home from work.

I'm using Clockworkmod. Dont remember version right now.

I tried putting the phone in mass-storage via cwm. No reaction. :-/
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You need cwm 5.8.4.0
[HTC One X] DudX:
Thats the one i got. Touch.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
When you go to mounts and storage in cwm and select mount usbcard, you should see it on your pc with cwm 5.8.4.0.
[HTC One X] Quiksilver78:
Is there a 16GB One X?
[HTC One X] DudX:
I will try that.

If It dosent work i will try with twrp 2.2.0.
[HTC One X] DudX:
Yes. I bought It in Sweden.

12Gb:s free space in internal sd. So i believe its a 16gb:s version. But in general Sweden is sneaky ;) but it was cheap. About 160euro.. so im not complaining ;)
[HTC One X] Gammarax:
Just remember:

Quad-core HTC One X is codenamed EndeavorU.

Dual-core HTC One X (or XL) is codenamed Evita.

Fyi :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj-Angel:
Hey, all

I've recently aquired a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p Which is the version with NFC which if I'm correct is an american important?

I am from the UK.

So basically I edited my nv_data.bin so that my phone would be come Network Unlocked and it keeps resetting the Network Lock.

I have tried the following apps :

Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz

Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool by DaGentooBoy

[Root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock by Chainfire

[TOOL] Samsung Network/Sim Unlock Code Generator/Patcher (SGS1/2/3) by AdamLange

Non of these work and I can't seem to figure out why I have to delete my nv_data.bin from my phone and replace it with edited one on my SDCard then reboot and I have Network unlock for about 4-5hours then it disconnects and I have to do it again.

Can anyone possibly help me with this?

Thanks in advance to all.

EDIT --

Before anyone goes use the search buttton...

I have used the search button and I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad.haywood:
Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, so I hope I do it right. After many weeks I finally have an Unlock code for my HTC Desire Z (legit). Unfortunately, when I power off the phone and restart it with an unauthorised SIM (Like I was told to do), nothing happens. It doesn't ask me for the Unlock code. I have tried everything humanly possible. Even the HTC Desire Unlock utility posted on these forums. Although it said it was successfully unlocked, it does not recognise the SIM. My phone number shows up in the status, but that's about it. I'm using a TESCO SIM (Whom I think operate from the o2 network?). Any help to actually get my phone to ask me for the unlock code would be greatly appreciated!

In case you missed it from the title, I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.

Cheers,

Brad

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
damn, that sucks, Brad. you are not getting service, are you? my only other thought is maybe you are already unlocked from the root method you used? other than that, i'm not too sure. come to think of it, i pulled the unlock code from my G2, but i haven't bothered to try and enter it in...

i know what you mean about the official Gingerbread :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad.haywood:
Nope, no service at all. It picks up the phone number located in the status, but I can't call/sms. I do, however, have a feeling the mobile Internet works, but nothing else.

As I've said, I've tried everything I could think of, or pull from the Internet with no luck. I can't believe it's so hard to do...

Hi there.

This is my first time rooting my GS3 SGH-I747, and I couldn't finish rooting it completely. So I tried it again, and it didn't work. Then I went searching on how you un-root and such, then I found this thread and followed it (I think it resets your phone to stock?), I'm not sure. Anyways, now I just want to get my phone back to the way it was before I did all of this. I think I've got to reset my custom binary counts and set the system status to 'normal' instead of 'custom/modified'. I was wondering how you do this? Also, I was wondering if once you root your phone will it always stay rooted or can you reset that so it's like it never happened (as if I didn't even do anything to my phone). I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say/ask. Thanks and the help is very much appreciated.​

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xda-nat:
hi there

I am in the UK, and seriously thinking of getting myself a new phone, the T seems to be pretty much the top contender right now, but I am wondering if it makes more sense to wait for a different phone entirely (which has LTE/4g) or bite the bulllet and cough up for this.

I have had my HTC Desire for quite some time now - which I rooted and S-Off(ed) stuck MIUI-AU on there and am basically still very happy with it, but I would like something a bit more nippy and I guess more importantly for me

1. something that takes a great photo/video

2. decent amount of ROMs to change to

3. half decent battery life would be nice

Whatever phone I buy I am likely to use for a long long time - as with the Desire - I will buy it outright as a SIM only contract suits me nicely and I have a rolling one with unlimited data (very old bolt on that they don't do anymore).

hence the 4G thing seems like a worthwhile addition to the phone along with the above wants, as even though its not quite here, it should arrive during the time I have the phone.

I know there is a version of the T with LTE, but its the AT&T version which clearly wont be coming to the UK (could I get one from the states and it would work?!!?) , there is also the V, which again isnt out yet and may not even come to the UK it seems..

I know there doesn't seem to be much choice in the 4G options right now..

had thought about getting a LG Optimus 4X HD - which doesn't have LTE, but like the T has the HSPA+ but I think I can pick up for about £285 which isnt too bad and would maybe be a stopgap until the 4G offerings improve.

if someone could give me some guidance, or even recommend a different handset (maybe not the place to ask for that in here :)) it would be very helpful

thanks

nat
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
I would say get the T and use it for a year or so. By then LTE will mature and you can consider more options without teething problems 4G WILL have.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xda-nat:
Hi tital - as it's £419 I would like it to last more than a year tbh, that is a lot of cash IMO

like I say, whatever I buy I want to last for as long as possible
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Even if you were going to use it for longer it will last. Look at the likes of the Galaxy S, Nexus One and Xperia X10. All are having quite active communities.

Don't worry about 3G/4G - if the USA is anything to go by you may find 3G is faster than 4G...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrFoxx18:
I'd be wary about 4G phones at the moment, the only 4G network we have in the UK by EE is on a different frequency band to what the other networks like Three, O2, Vodafone etc can use, so any 4G phone could work on one but won't on the other. - Something they kept telling me repeatedly before I got my T.

Also, the 4G we're being promised here is ~25Mbps and their 4x faster than 3G is based on the average speed of 3G being 1.5Mbps, and as you said the T has HSPA+, some networks can offer up to 42Mbps download speeds, however I've never seen more than ~7Mbps, which is still enough to do many things.

Verizon Galaxy Tab 7.7 - No Contract - $279 Certified Pre-Owned

Not too shabby, these mostly avg around $375-$400 on eBay.

You do need to purchase one month of data however, which is $40 total for 2GB.

Can drop the data after 30 days.

I found mine from a guy locally, and love the helloutta this tab!
[Member-Found Deals] Solar.Plexus:
Just spoke to a VZW rep. She said there's no data plan required. It's $279 and you don't have to activate the device at all.

Of course, we all know how much Verizon reps know...
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
I believe you have to add a plan when purchasing but since it's month to month you can just call and cancel it when you get the device.
[Member-Found Deals] Bandage:
also worth mentioning...

These aren't simply used, they are refurbs...for anyone like myself with issues buying refurbished. :P
[Member-Found Deals] okashira:
It's $279.99 + $35 activation +$40 1 month +whatever BS taxes/fees

=

$360++

AND you have to deal with cancelling the plan after a month, make sure you don't forget, etc.

Nice scam, verizon, lol.

If anyone can figure out a way to buy without the BS activation, month to month BS, please post!
[Member-Found Deals] okashira:
Update, I was able to buy one at a local VZW store NEW for $399. It took alot of convincing, as they were quite certain they wanted to run my credit, charge me activation and athe monthly fee. I told them I would buy it if they could just sell it straight up, but would walk if they wanted to activate/run my credit. It took the lady a while in the system, but she was able to do it.

It helps to be polite of course.
[Member-Found Deals] Solar.Plexus:
There's no reason why it needs to be activated at all.

I used my upgrade to get a Verizon Xperia Play for free last April. I use it for WiFi and to run Android things everyday without it being activated.
