[HTC EVO 3D] fallguy0980:
Maybe someone can help me with this but I have this problem with 3 separate phones. After I got the phone completely un used I downgraded H boot to 1.40 and installed mean Rom ics. Within the first day my screen started behaving irratically as though someone was touching it. This happened with 3 phones and installing hboot 1.50 did not fix it. Do I need to change the kernel or Rom or hboot or baseband... What am I doing wrong? Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue. I did replace the screen in one of them including the digitizer and it was doing exactly the same thing. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
See those "?'s" in the last two lines of your post? This thread belongs in the Q&A Forum and I've reported it to the mods so they can move it there. For anyone else reading this thread, Papa Smurf151 has a pretty thorough sticky in the Development Forum that states what can or cannot be posted there, so please read it before creating a new thread.

Regarding your questions, I saw that you already have four posts in the MeanROM ICS thread regarding this issue and some other people have been experiencing similar symptoms. As was recommended in that thread, I would suggest flashing the Sprint ICS RUU and going back to complete stock to see if the problem goes away or is actually a hardware issue. Since you are S-OFF it won't be hard to get back to a rooted configuration, and you won't lose that status by flashing the RUU.

Every once in a while I browse through my friendstream, when tonight I noticed that it last updated at 10:01am. Tried refreshing, and no update. Asked my girlfriend if her phone was working, she said it hasn't in a few days so she hasn't looked; same thing. I then deleted the account, added it back in, and its still not working.

Both are up to date, latest firmware/software and S-Off.

Anyone else having these issues?

Here's a pic after I put the account back into the widget.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
If there are any major changes to facebook it tends to break friendstream, I remember HTC releasing 2 updates to friend stream on my og evo after a few revisions to facebook killed friendstream. Have you tried removing it as a trusted app and letting sense setup the account again?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Well mine appears to be working, maybe a reboot to clear temp memory
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
Haven't tried that yet but I will look into it. That's the other thing though, I'm still on the base facebook apk. The one that comes on the 2.13 Rom. I don't update it cause Facebook never gets its updates in working order.

I rebooted as well before I deleted the account lol. I'll try wiping the caches next. It's not super important since I rarely use Facebook, I just like looking through friendstream to see what's going on with the people I know lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
I'm having the same problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
Sorry to say that I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

Idk why its not working. I've cleared out all data from Facebook, HTC Sense Facebook, Friendstream and widget, and I deleted the app access in Facebook but now I can't get it to connect.

Kinda weird. I never had this issue before even from the OG EVO so I'm quite lost as to why its starting now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Daiskei:
Well, just thought I'd throw this out there... It's happening over on the Sensation on Sense 4.1 as well. It works fine when we install Sense 3.6 though, odd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
Thanks for the info. Maybe its a bug in Sense 4.1 that's been pretty infrequent on devices running it.

Another question for anyone running stock or close to stock, when answering the phone with the lock screen (dragging green phone into the circle), have you had to answer it again in the phone app or have you missed the call? I'm getting close to dumping the phone with an RUU to see if somethings stuck in here that's not supposed to be. Which is odd since I've only ran stock so far...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
Huh how weird, get out if class after not touching my phone, and the widget is working again. No freaking idea what the issue was though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy24:
Mine works too now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Daiskei:
Works on Sensation as well now... Looks like Facebook foobar'd something and we had to suffer till they fixed it. Heh. Not the first time!

Anyone know if its possible to root any of the cdma defy xt's? xt555c is on Straight Talk running off of Sprint
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdogdj:
i would like to know of a way to root mine also i just bought one lol
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
Also interested

I've tried everything for my defy xt555c straight talk phone running 2.3.7. through research i've found that the phone requires a patch to be a applied for the root to work.. however when using SUT it requires my phones SPC code. This is my current issue, i've tried calculators that apply a special algorithm to the ESN which produces the six digit code. I've tried ##data# then logcat to get the spc(although i think this is for msl?(msl might be same as spc?)) I've tried superoneclick and it gets to step 7 and locks up. All of the programs i've used either lock or or can't get permission..

I guess the real question is does anyone know how to accurately acquire the SPC code for the defyxt555c? any help would be greatly appreciated.

THANX!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
BUMP- any information would be super greatly appreciated.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
So turns out the spc and msl codes are not the same. The spc is a one time use used to program the phone. The msl is the code used to reprogram and this is the code i require.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejlmd:
How did you discover the SPC and MSL are different?

I have the Republic Wireless Defy XT 557, which I believe is quite similar to your device. Have been unable to obtain SPC/MSL.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
I found it through google i will have to check my history.. as for your spc you can find calculators online and there is actually an app in the market that will do the same thing. Its called meid converter.. it will give you the spc.. but not the msl.. ive tested it on my other phone and its msl was diff than the spc. I havnt found a way to get the msl yet though.. i have been looking for a while.

My other phone is a galaxy precedent which i was able to get the msl using the alogcat method. That doesnt work with the motorola though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98cafe:
I've now gotten the run-around from Motorola and straight talk. Basically the official stance is "if you were stupid enough to buy a phone with so little space, you're SOL."

It's a shame because aside from the idiotic lack of space (what engineer designed THAT?!?), it's a great phone. As it is though, it's useless to me if I can't increase the space by rooting it. Any suggestions on another decent phone that I can get?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
Did you tell them that you were trying to root?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98cafe:
I explained that I was happy with the service, but needed to be able to modify the phone so as to extend the internal memory. The reply I got was that they don't even have the MSL because they never under any circumstances unlock the phones.

I know that no one has been able to successfully root the phone (or if they have, they are being quiet...curse them :) ), but has anyone successfully flashed to another OS, like Cyanogen?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikeroot:
There has to be something that can be done... i need to find one of these people who do this kind of thing and offer them money for a working option or something. The MSL is made by the service provider i am pretty sure. They take the meid and use their specific algorithm to produce the MSL this is my understanding anyways.

How do you get spell check to work when using a Bluetooth keyboard
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
What spell check?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
I need to know this too, brought the Microsoft wedge Bluetooth keyboard which works really well but cannot get spell check which is frustrating. If I need to type, I usually use Swiftkey tablet or Swype which work really well. When a hardware keyboards is connected, the only way I have found to correct words are by clicking on the incorrect word to get suggestions.

I thought ICS had spell check options, I could not find any options for this setting.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
When talking about spell check are you refering to the predictive suggestions?

@HasC what app are you running that has the ability to offer suggestions on spelling when you click on a word? That sounds like a laptop not a tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
I'm referring to spell check where an incorrectly spelt word is underlined in red, this used to be the case on my Asus transformer and from my understanding it's supposed to be standard ICS functionality. It could be that Samsung have screwed this up with Touchwiz.

To answer the second question, when I type using the hardware keyboard on the galaxy note 10.1 and have Swiftkey keyboard showing on the display at the same time, as I type, Swiftkey offers word suggestions where you have to tap the screen to select the word. When proof reading the document and I notice some typo's, I tap on the word that I want to change/correct and Swiftkey offers alternative words which I then have to select by tapping the correct word.

The way I am currently using it is by via an app called null keyboard which prevents any software keyboard from popping up when utilising the hardware keyboard. When I am done typing, I select Swiftkey and click on the incorrect words to generate alternatives whilst proof reading and then I click on the correct word to change as necessary.

I have noticed that Swype works better at correcting the words whereby when the word is corrected and is selected in Swype, the incorrect word is changed after selection. With Swiftkey, I have noticed that the correct word is entered however the incorrect word is not replaced completely and you have to delete the extra remnants that are left from the previous word.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
What app are you using on your Asus Transformer that gives you that kind of spell checking?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
I have got rid of my Asus now, did not need an app, it was part of the ice cream sandwich update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmnbob:
To me it is crazy that Samsung would remove the underline misspelled word from ICS. The HTC implementation on the S3 IS SWEET. This would make using the Note in business more usable and then fix the Bluetooth. Spelling problem

I have taken the time to learn the methods of creating a new skin for my device: and have enjoyed both the process and the results. And now, I would like to share the experience with you! My latest selection, entitled; "Bliss Series”, is the most refined product of mine thus far. I hope you have as much fun with it, as I did creating it!

Now available in the "Venom Hub" for the Viper4G rom on the HTC EVO LTE and HTC One X. If your rooted and not running Viper4G.......Then you should be!

Also available on the Google play store for those not running Viper4g or those not rooted.

To make these, special thanks goto..
