[Motorola Droid 4] Falkner09:
So, I'm on tmobile, ad want to switch because it's too expensive for a phone I don't like that much (Mytouch 4g slide; crappy keyboard, sense infected 2.3, glitchy, etc.) I was thinking of witching to Boost mobile because they are cheaper, and have the Samsung transform Ultra, which despite being "low end" works great software wise and is stock, good keyboard, I know this from experience.

But then i thought about the Droid 4. I might be able to stomach the capacitive front keys (maybe) and its pretty high end. so I figure i'd try it, but I see it's GSM is not unlocked for US GSM carriers yet. but i wonder, would it be possible to unlock for Boost? that's a Sprint subsidiary, if that helps.

Also, Looking up info, I see there's supposed to be an international GSM version coming out, the XT898, announced a few months ago but nothing else announced yet that i've seen. anyone know about that?

P.S. does the mobile Chrome browser work on the Droid 4? It works on My iconia tab but not my 4g slide, so I figure it's an issue with the firmware version.

*edit* meant to say "this phone" in the title. damn arthritis. this is why I need a better keyboard.

Seems like some folks have been able to move Verizon CDMA phones to Sprint's network in the past. Have no idea how difficult that would be for the D4.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evo911:
Hi,

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju) on Jelly Bean 4.1.1, rooted. Had CWM but flashed stock recovery to resolve the below-mentioned issue with OTA.

I've been having some trouble updating to OTA 4.1.2. Whenever I get the OTA push, I proceed with the upgrade but the process fails. I get the following error messages in recovery:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Gmail.apk", "d547e1c4367c20c48614c2623c9e30f72976bf67", "21177453e64d114f4c208720a0f57d9765665a1d")

E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip [COLOR="Red"][B](in case I do it with stock recovery)[/B][/COLOR]
E: Error in /cache/24a9a760f32e.signed-yakju-JZO54K-from-JRO03C.24a9a760.zip [COLOR="red"][B](in case of OTA with CWM)[/B][/COLOR]

(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Now as I gathered from the message, it seems that it cannot authenticate the Gmail app currently in my system. I'm using the 100% stock version, but I do recall that sometime back I used the "merge system apps updates into ROM" feature in Titanium Backup Pro. I believe it merged the updated Gmail, Maps and Play Store apps into the system.

Could someone help me figure out a way to make the system recognize the files as original? I've read at places that I can disable the assert on said files in the OTA file, but I don't want to do that. I want to fix this thing once and for all so that I can get future OTAs (4.2 JB) without any problem. Please help me out. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ieatnoobs:
A better way to load 4.1.2 is to download the stock ROM from Google's website and load it using fastboot. This way you can receive OTAs in the future since you be 100% stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evo911:
Thanks for replying. Could you please share what's the procedure for that? And by stock ROM, I assume you mean the 15MB update archive? Or should I be downloading the full ROM?

Also, I understand that I will lose root, which I can get again no problem. But will there be any other data loss? Please confirm. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benkxda:
Hi Evo,

to go to 4.1.2 stock rom, you can download the factory image from Google for Galaxy Nexus GSM. This one is about 235 MB big. Unpack it and also check out this thread.

Just flashing should not delete your data, but unlocking your boot loader will and of course if you wipe and make a clean ROM flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evo911:
Ok we've got a problem.

I downloaded the factory image and flashed it. My bootloader was unlocked already, but it still wiped my device clean. No pictures, nothing on the internal memory, it wiped EVERYTHING. I used Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by Mark Skippen to flash the image.

Ben, you said just flashing should not wipe my data. Instead, it's wiped EVERYTHING.

I took a NANDROID backup just before the flash, and also took full Titanuim Backups today. Unfortunately I forgot to copy them off the device, so they are gone with it! And I'm left with a brand ****ing new GNex! :s

Is there any way to recover the data that was on there? I've read thread names that one can recover data off of microSD cards. Can the same work for the phone memory? I need a way out. There was some precious personal and work data in there that I cannot afford to lose. Someone please help me recover that? Thanks!

I loaded a stock image Vibrant Rom via Odin onto my 4g by accident. Now no buttons work, so I can't get into download mode. Anyone think a jig will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
A jig will get you into Download Mode. You just have to hope your computer will recognize your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Press both the buttons for download mode and trying to see if Heimdall detects it also works sometimes. Just because the screen is black and nothing seems to happen, it doesn't mean download mode still won't engage. Worth a shot at the least.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innov8ion:
It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustbepbs:

How do i delete the photos that were synced from my facebook? i try to select them but the only option i get is slideshow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
Delete the Facebook app and reinstall it. When you load it for the first time there will be an option to sync albums, just uncheck it and you are good to go. I had the same problem and figured it out about 10 minutes ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JFizDaWiz:
might be able to simply "clear data" instead of uninstalling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:

You can go into setting then accounts. And on your facebook account you have the options to sync contacts and sync pictures just uncheck picks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cwciwatch:
Was running MIUI, lost my IMEI, recovered it, still will not activate. ODIN Flashed back to factory and my phone still will not activate, IMEI, MEID is showing correct in my phone info. when I call out I get the please hold for an operator to assist you. little triangle is showing. No clue what to do now. Sim card is fine, it works in my other phone.

Recovered EMEI with nvrestore, it locked up, I pulled the battery and tried restarting but it still would not boot, so I Flashed Factory rom with ODIN again and it worked, I now have data and the phone activated. Really strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cwciwatch:
Glad I backed the IMEI up three ways. This was the third time I have lost the IMEI and connectivity. This last time was the worst though, took me a couple hours to get the darn thing working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fawkiPhone:
Yea last time that happened to me, I just unrooted and back to stock. Lady at the Verizon store couldn't figure it out even with new sim and they gave me a replacement no Q asked. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
But if you got a good device new it is better to fix the IEMI than take a chance on a refurb that was bad when new and returned especially since it is so easy to prevent and fix now. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fawkiPhone:
Make sense
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Pretty annoying all the people that can't flash there phones. I'm sure it wasn't a imie issue. Next time save yourself the time and try flashing a touchwiz ROM first and then reprovision the phone by dialing *2767*3855#.

Even more annoying the someone would waist the space complaining about others instead of just sharing their knowledge and sparing us the drama. Jeesh man.

This quality message was brought to you by a guy that hangs in the woods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cwciwatch:
Thanks for the good information. Sorry I annoyed you.

Probably was something I missed. Originally, before I restored the meid my phone number was showing as 000-000-0120 so I am pretty sure the meid was borked, I restored using the meid repair utility but still could not get authorized, I Odin flashed back to stock but it still didn't work, I did the nvrestore then had to Oden flash a stock rom again which solved the problem and everything is working peachy now. I am sure there was an easier way but at the time I was at a loss. I thought I screwed it up.

BTW, this is my third smart phone and I been flashing roms etc almost daily for years now so I am not entirely green.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
I guess u should of explained more. What's annoying is the fact that in every thread there is someone with some issue that is hashing out the same old problems that have been gone over time time and time again. Asking for questions or help when there answer is in 5000000000000000000 other threads.

Ok, so my mom has a Photon and the volume (ringtones and notifications mostly) wont work when shes had it on silent for more then 30 minutes. Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and nothing has changed. Oh yea and she is on her 3rd one and they have all had the same problem. If anyone has any thoughts Id love t hear them!

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JVital2013:
Strange... I never heard of this. Are you on the stock ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ashcarreno:
Yes its on the stock rom. She wont let me root it because shes affraid it something will go wrong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JVital2013:
Does the sound come back once you've rebooted the phone? I mean, taking it out of silent should be enough to unsilence it :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] ashcarreno:
You would think that unsilencing it would be enough but for whatever reason in this case its not but yes the phone has to be rebooted every time in order or the volume to work again but sometimes that doesnt even work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JVital2013:
Odd... the only thing I can think of would be to restore it back to a stock SBF, but that might not do much since you've had the issue with 4 other phones. You shouldn't hurt it though :)

With that many devices it would seem it could be an app problem.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Like the title says, I replaced the digitizer, but now my phone either isn't recognizing my SIM card, or somehow the antenna isn't working. I can connect to my home wifi network, I have full audio, full capacitive buttons and vibration....but signal bar just shows empty (i'm using CM10).

I've put my SIM into my other phone, everything works fine. I've checked all of the connectors on the motherboard, everything is connected and nothing is loose or pinched anywhere. Can someone give me a layout of which connections control what?

thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
Remember that there's actually two different antennas. My suggestion would be to recheck each connection and make sure there's a solid click when you connect it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
the top connector came off the wire when I snapped it from the motherboard. I crimped the wire back in place but maybe I sould solder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
Crimp should work if the center pin is still making contact with the wire. Soldering shouldn't hurt anything that I can think of
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Update, I've purchased a replacement micro-coax cable, that fits correctly, but still have no signal coming to my phone for whatever reason. Any ideas, maybe getting a crappy g2x for parts and using it's cable?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Where did you get the cable from?

Did you test the continuity of the cable's wire?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
This is what I ordered:

http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?x=12&y=15&lang=en&site=us&KeyWords=A36224-ND
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
That should work. Are all the other internal connectors fully seated?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Yup, not too sure what's happening. I literally did NOTHING else to the phone except accidentally rip off the connection on the lower end of the phone. I still get Wifi, so I know nothing internally is broken. I need to call tmo on the off chance this phone got locked due to previous owner payment or reported lost or stolen. It was an LG branded, g2x, though, which doesn't get sold throught tmo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
The LG brand could mean that the digitizer was previously replaced. It sounds like a very peculiar situation you are in. Replacement parts idea is probably best if you have looked over everything very carefully and can't visually find anything wrong. Did you use a hair dryer or other heat source to get the digitizer off? Perhaps the radio portion received to much heat and fried. That the only thing I can think of.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
When I first did the repair, I ripped the ribbon from mother board to digitizer, not realizing it was there in the first place. The screen separated from the digitizer pretty easily, no heat required.

The new piece I ordered had the digitizer and outside bezel all attached as one piece, which would normally be two pieces. While constructing everything, I forgot that little rubber/plastic piece that fits near the front facing camera, so I detached the mother board connections, then went down to the antenna area and disconnected the micro coax and the connector slipped off the cable altogether. I put the exposed wire back into the connector, restarted the phone, and there has been no signal ever sense.

The last thing I'm going to try is getting an OEM micro coax from either a P990 or P999. I feel kind of stupid for worrying about this, since it's an old phone with limited development at the moment, plus I have another phone already. But since I bought an entirely new shell, I want to fix this damn thing and probably just sell it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Canadian G2X/P999 are branded LG and are known as Optimus 2X even though they are not the P990 Optimus 2X which is/was also sold in Canada, each model sold by different service providers operating on different cell radio bands. At a point, T-Mobile was supplying LG branded G2X/P999 phones as replacements. You probably have one of those or, if you bought it from someone in Canada or who was in Canada that would also explain why yours is branded LG.

If you shorted the antenna cable's internal wire to its shield that would short-circuit the cell radio's output which may have damaged the hardware if the phone transmitted while there was a short-circuit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I think what I need to do, if i wanted to keep this phone, is the buy a crappy g2x and use it's internal motherboard with antenna and coax cable.

Does anyone know what the board is called at the bottom of the phone, near the charging port? It's where one end of the micro coax cable connects. The other end is near the middle of the phone, on the main mother board.

I'm wondering since the board at the bottom had the problem, if I were to replace that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Here's the repair manual:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/84937521/70/EXPLODED-VIEW
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
There is a way to test the cell phone radio to determine if it works but it involves installing some Qualcomm software, QPST and QXDM, which are professional tools for monitoring, testing and modifying the phone's Qualcomm cell radio characteristics. My post about how to fix the P999 IMEI has the download links and instructions for setting QPST up: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942417 I'll find the QXDM link and installation instructions and post it in this thread too.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Finally fixed the damn thing, adjusted the length on either side of the mico coax, the cable isn't being pinched anymore so it works fine. I have a slight problem, though, I have some bright light bleeding from the middle left, and top right of the screen. Maybe because the LED isn't seated flush against the digitizer? Is that what would cause this?

It's minimal, and I don't want to take it apart, but still curious.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
Around the screen edge there should be attached to the digitizer a thin foam gasket. If it is missing a piece of the thin foam or if it somehow got disturbed or is not there it most likely is where the bleed is comming from.
