[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junooni:
hi.

i have never had problems with my hero before but suddenly i'm unable to flash anything on it. i have always been on the stock recovery with S-OFF and rooted.

i flashed VanillaEclair 6.2 a while back and had no problems.

yesterday when i tried to flash another rom, i got signature verification error. I thought i'd flash TWRP or CWMR to bypass the signature verification but when i tried to flash it, i got the same error.

i tried to flash the recovery through rom manager but it failed...even with adb!

frustrated, i thought to use the official rom RUU...i ran the RUU, it went halfway in flashing the rom and then gave error.

now i don't have any recovery and pressing 'home+power' leaves me at the HERO screen forever.

luckily i can still boot in android so my device is not bricked.

I have tried pushing the recovery via adb but even the fastboot doesn't work.

i tried starting from scratch to check for the bootloader lock. fastboot oem get_identifier_token returns an error.

phone is working fine but i don't like the rom and want to be able to flash via custom recovery.

please help!

much appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maia1987:
Hi, guys! Im new to this forum and installed the v20 feravolt + ferakernel for my x10!

First impressions are like "wow! thats another phone!", much better than SE 2.3.3

But the problem is sometimes the phone just freezes for 0.5sec or the app needs to be forced close! I dont know what's happening because I've followed all the instructions.

Im using Unlocked bootloader 2.6.29-ferakernel v2.7 with v20 ~Final~ Break The Limits...

I intalled the FIX included in feravolt thread for Unlocked bootloader

Any tips/tricks to fix it?

Ps1.: Moderators Im sorry if I make this thread in the wrong section,please move it to general if u think it's necessary

Ps2: I hope u guys can understand me because my english is a bit rusty =P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingin:
I don't believe there is a "fix" for v20 for unlocked bootlaoders...

Try doing a full wipe and install again?

This is what I usually do before installing a new ROM:

1. wipe data (x3)

2. wipe cache

3. Go into mounts and storage and mount system and then format system (x3)

4. Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Install Rom

6. Reboot

I have the kernel and ROM without a patch and everything is working...

Hope this helps...

I flashed cm10 nightly abt a week ago nd google now is not working whenever i open it the screen turns black and i get to the homescreen again. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
Hey,

I have had my one x since release day, but now it is in a bad way.

The screen has become partially delaminated, allowing dirt into the screen and causing a section of the touch screen to not function. The back is also very scratched.

Assuming I can do the repair myself, the parts would cost around £115.

My question is, should I get a nexus 4 or would I be in any way downgrading?

I could do my best to disguise the problems (clean under screen and reseal) and I might get around £150 from a recycling company.

A few things to note are that I love stock android and the idea of getting updates almost instantly.

I also don't think I would need more than 16gb given the use of Google drive and 35gb of Dropbox.

I do however love my phones screen and the community for the One X.

Anyway, I would love to hear people's opinions and have discussions about this as choosing my phone is one of the most important decisions I have to make haha.

ORStoner
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanishere:
Inspite of its design shortcuts and glass back, the n4 is a good deal.

If your device is shot, I'd say get one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
I'm not sure whether I like the idea of a glass back. To be honest, whilst the plastic on my phone is battered the screen is still completely pristine.

Unless it is found to be super fragile, I would welcome the addition of more glass.

Does anyone know how the screen on the n4 compares to the one X?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
It's on par with the X, it beats it in certain areas vice versa but One X probably has the better screen that's not saying the IPS on the N4 is bad as it's just as good.

However you lose a bit of screen estate due to the on screen buttons.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
On par nikz.....?

S4Pro destroys our T3 in both CPU and GPU.

plus a 2100 battery for 28nm chip, whereas our HOX is 1800 with 40nm

42mbps HSDPA+

GPS with GLONASS support.

Stock fast updates
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I was answering his question regarding the screens :p

But yes, hardware wise it does put our One X to shame only the screen is probably better, better camera and more storage and Sense are probably the only benefits the HOX offers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
He was talking about the screen
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
The camera was going to be my next question. The one x camera disappointed me a bit due to all the claims htc made at mwc, are you suggesting the n4 is not as good?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Yes most of the reviews state its not as good as all the other phones. But it's decent according to the reviews. Just check out the sample shots on various sites and see if you can live with the results.

One X camera isn't bad at all for a mobile device, the Nokia 920 and iphone 5 beat the HOX camera.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
I think I have just two more questions. When will it stop receiving updates first? Does the nexus s or galaxy nexus still get updates first or do they have to wait?

Also, how easy it to to root and install kernels etc? The one was a hassle and I had to void my warranty.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Not sure about the first question as I've never had a Nexus device but I'm sure they are still getting updates.

Unlocking a Nexus device is the most simplest simple command and your done, so it should be a breeze installing roms and kernels and shouldn't affect warranty like the HOX does I believe as it's a developers phone end of the day.

I for one will be getting one to try out hopefully on release day if permitting. Getting a bit angry with the HOX battery life it can last me through the day but when I start using it dies quickly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
Good point. The battery will be much better on the N4 since it's a 28nm cpu.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
Well honestly.. You seem to have a rugged lifestyle, or is real rough on your phones. I would suggest you get something more like the Casio commando phone.

I don't think the n4 would be good for kids in school, or anything that could possibly harm a glass bodied phone.

But as a backup, out going out phone, sure. Plus the price is right, and wouldn't hurt you too bad if you are stuck in a contract.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
I usually keep better care of my devices, I was just hit by a car on my bike and it fell out of my pocket. It was in a case but it came of during the crash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Douchebag whoever hit you hope your well though, get them to buy you a new phone :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
I'm fine. They drove off though :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
I honestly couldn't suggest it, if you do a lot of bike riding, or if it's you're main source of transportation.

You Europeans do a lot more bike riding than us lazy Americans though, I think the price of gas has a lot to do with it.

I remember when I bought my evo, I was floored when I found out that someone in the UK basically paid double what I did, after vat.

My sensation would be great for bike riding, since the gorilla glass screen curves inward to avoid scratches, and the battery cover is the whole phone case, just get a new one for 30 bucks when the old one gets scuffed up. Battery life is meh, though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanishere:
Bah. I'm American, and I ride 3+ miles a day.

Do live in NYC tho. Def get a good case for your phone if you ride.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreindler:
so.... should I buy or shouldn't I......

Hello all!

Question - As far as I understood - Menu Buttons are on-screen.

That means Menu Buttons are taking a lil' of the 4,7 inch screen?????, so that actually the usable screen without buttons is smthng like 4,6 or so?

Or rephrased:

Is the usable part of screen bigger in the case of the HOX than in Nexus 4?

I don't know what to do to be honest.... i could sell my hox for smthing like nearly 350 Euros, and hopefully i would get a Nexus 4 for it....

But is it really worth???

Pluses of the HOX in my opinion over the Nexus:

1. Sense

2. Screen + Camera

3. Beats Equalizer

4. HOX community

Now... I would change it for a Nexus 4 for the following reasons:

1. Updates directly from Google

2. Phone designed together with google, so it will be their hardware reference when google issues an android upgrade

3. Design (Glass-back)

4. 2gb of RAM and better processor

Now, to be honest I miss iOS in terms of buttery user interface, clean interface, no force-closes, etc.

I don't want to switch again to iOS, but it would be nice to find something alike in an android....

I had the best experience with the HOX for a sense ROM, and with i9100 a very fine experience with CM9.

I am searching for THE Android device.... Is Nexus it?

If not, then I would bet on the next flagship from HTC (not the HOX+, but the next one).

Samsung is totally out of the question due to it's cheap recycled-plastic design!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nafpez:
Kinda have to comment on this. I can GUARANTEE you that within a month or so the Nexus will have better community support, its 75% of the reason i got rid of my HOX and went back to my old Galaxy S. Granted the HOX community is much more established now, but nothing beats Nexus devices for community and devs and so on.

I have been wondering about this for a while too and I was close to going the note 2 way but this seems just took good to pass up. I had a SGS 2 and loved it and was always flashing it. If I got the nexus 4 would the flashing & rom situation be a lot greater since its a dev phone and one thing I wanted the most about the note 2 was the split screen multitasking. Do you think there would be development that could bring that to the nexus 4. If so I'm ordering today!? thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Not sure, it's been a while. But when we installed the MitRa port. we had bluetooth problems. Somewhere in that thread you'll find a link or a post with the APN that we used to get devices to pair.

Our problem was slightly different then yours. We kept getting the message that the pin was wrong. But hey, it's worth the shot.

I also noticed that another user posted that their sensation 4g had the same problem as you. Perhaps it's a bug with the Nyko Playpad.

Edit: Which Rom are you running? Just noticed this info: The PlayPad Pro works with any

Android 3.0 device or higher

with Bluetooth

Update: Looks like the Infuse doesn't have bluetooth 3.0, but 2.1, which is not going to work with the Playpad. Yet another reason to upgrade to a new phone. Sorry Infuse. Your days are numbered.

Also, anyone know of any CM9/AOKP Notification pull down transparency mods? Feels odd having that be opaque whilst the statusbar is transparent.

Edit:

Tried the settings transparency, doesn't work. When it boots to the lock screen (AOKP 5 point lock screen) each point has 2 icons, the ones I set and a lock icon, whenever I pick any of them it reboots).

Edit edit: Had to remove the Status Bar mod too, it changed my USB Connection icon to the 2nd frame of the Downloading File animated icon (a broken arrow) and also the USB Connection dialog had what looked like the Storm conditions icon from Beautiful Widgets instead of the Android mascot with a USB connector for a hand.

Well, I tried to post my question in Galaxy Note thread. But it seems that the Problem is similar for all Android devices. So, if you don't mind I'post it here. No solution found so far.

I've got the screenlock password on my Galaxy Note. It's in English layout (it was originally entered in Swipe keyboard). Then I've changed the Settings to Samsung keyboard and French layout (same latin letters) and switched off the screen. Now my pass is not working as I cannot change layout to English (the settings button on keyboard is grey). So would you recommend any solution as I don't want to wipe all the data. Is it possible to change layout to original English or reset password somehow? Thanks a lot in advance.
