If you havent installed cwm and created a backup of your phone your sol. The only way to fix this is do a fresh install of the stock firmware by using flashtool.

Hi, I'm sort of new here and I need some help from people who know how to deal with Htc better then me.

In July I sent my phone to the Greek center to be repaired and since then they've had my phone.

I paid the repair cost and for months now they've been putting me off with claims that they're waiting for parts.

Is there anything I can do to make them either repair it quicker or send me new parts?

I've tried badgering them on the phone but nothing works, help.:(
[General Questions and Answers] Gonnelli1355:
In august, i accidentally poured some tea on my Samsung Wave (S8500). The only one problem is that the phone crashes when a call arrives or when i hit the green bottom to start a call, and i can only remove the battery to restart the system. But, exactelly what is broken on my phone? Modem is ok, because i can send and receive SMS and use internet; microphone is ok, because i can record sounds; speaker has a lower volume, but i can hear music and sounds. Then, what else? Moreover yesterday, when i recived a call, the phone was ok, and i could speak. But on the next call the phone crashed again.. Someone knows which could be the problem? And someone knows how to solve it?

Thanks in advance for your answers!
[General Questions and Answers] Rebellos:
There's over thousand of components in the S8500, so it's pretty hard to guess. Disassemble your phone, get isopropyl alcohol, and just wash your mainboard in it. Then wait until it dries out (up to few hours) and reassemble it. Remember that you might need to use some glue because isopropyl will dissolve all glued surfaces. Also remember to take off all EMF shields from your mainboard (these metal plating). Aswell consider that it might not help, but get things worse if you don't wash it good enough.

This method is commonly known. If you google for it you might also find recommending of putting whole phone into isopropyl, but I don't recommend that as things like screen are also glued together with digitizer and it can start to tear off after putting into alcohol.

Let us know how did it go.
[General Questions and Answers] sk8er_boi47:
i agree with Rebellos, but cud this be also due to s/w issue ?
[General Questions and Answers] Gonnelli1355:
Disassemble the phone is the best thing to do.. But the truth is that the phone is not mine, but my girlfriend's one. Moreover i've never disassembled anything; i don't want create more problems than now. I was thinking to play long time with a complex graphics game, and make the phone overheat. This shold melt residues of tea.. This can work?

@sk8er_boi47 i've tried with 3 different ROMS, then this couldn't be a software issue..

If you think that the only one way is to disassemble it, i'll do that! I will not fear.

Sorry I don't have computer with me and I can't upload file with my note.

1st . Copy file into ex card

2nd. Open root explore ( can find on play store ) / storage / ex card / hold app you want to copy / copy .

3th. Hit back button 2 time / find system / app / set permission to Mount R/W ( check on top of screen , you will see grey box with letter Mount R/O ,go head touch that box , you will see the R/O change to R/W ) / paste. Done

You have to delete old file you want to replace. ( Next time if you want to do something ,make sure move / paste file you want to replace to ex card , incase something go wrong you still have original file to copy back )
[Android General] Turbotab:
From reviewing the Chromium logs, I now know what is causing Chrome for Android to lag on certain websites. It is caused by a functionality in Chrome Android called FlingCancel that is triggered at the start of a touch event, if the acknowledgement is not received it gets moved from the compositor thread to the webkit thread, but the browser is still waiting for the FlingCancel acknowledgement before it sends the touch response.

This explains why some reviews thought that the very powerful Nexus 4 & 10 were laggy when web browsing. I'm glad Google has found the cause, although they have only marked it as a priority 2, no Google smoothness is always priority 1:D

The good thing is that issue is marked for resolution in version 23. All the issues marked for version 23 are listed as fixed or not fixed, nothing is currently assigned or to be reviewed, this shows that Chrome Android 23 is in an advanced state of readiness, and could be released this week to match the launch of the Nexus 4 & 10 & Android 4.2. Anyway, if the patch is successful and Chrome 23 or whatever resolves the issue, I hope the reviews get updated to reflect the improved browser!

[Android General] Habarug:

[Android General] Turbotab:
Sure will do, as soon as Google drop the update for Chrome Android 23 the issue should be fixed.

I'm getting quite angry at how slowly big G is updating Chrome, I recently found a chromium log that references an issue that a tester is having on their Nexus 4, running Chrome Android 25:mad: and we are still on a laggy v18. If there is no update this week, I'll send an email off to a technical lead I've been made aware of, not that it will do much good, as they have NDA to obey, but I will heap a little polite shame on them:laugh: My suggestion to Google allow people to beta / dev test Chrome, just like on the desktop!
[Android General] dalingrin:
I'm pretty sure the reason for the delay is that they are trying to upstream all of the Android port work. This is good because it means that all of Chrome for Android will be open source and buildable by anyone. Then you can have all the betas, nightlies, etc that you want. :highfive:

In fact, we might be able to make a partially working build already.
[Android General] Turbotab:
I did a little more snooping, and found an interesting Chromium log, discussing unforking Chrome Android. It states that the goal is 'fixed' in Milestone 25, which going by Chrome desktop's 6 week release cycle will be released at the end of January 2013.

It would be great if by Q1 2013 Google had upstreamed all the Chrome Android code into Chromium, we would get the features of the former with the speed of the latest updates of the latter, it will make Android an even more attractive platform.:good:

[Android General] Blayze04:
So when is this update coming?

I am extremely frustrated with Google because of this issue. I know it may seem petty, but on every platform I spend 90% of my time in the browser and Google is just not updating this browser. Every other browser on the market is another than this. The nexus 10 is getting horrible review scores because of it. The browser is portion the most used asp for most people i don't understand how Google could let the reputation of multiple new devices take a hit because of this. The thing I think is so frustrating for me is that I really enjoyed the stock browser that came with ICS on the gnex and ICS tablets. It was so buttery smooth. Chrome has been laggy when it comes to scrolling and pinch to zoom for so long.

After that long rant, when do you suspect the update fixing the issue you mentioned might be coming?
[Android General] Turbotab:
Just as I predicted Google has confirmed that Chrome Android will get a major update before the end of 2012, and that by early 2013 all Chrome versions will follow the same release schedule.:good:

Q. Chrome for Android is still at v18, while regular Chrome is at v23.

When will Chrome for Android catch up?﻿

A. Soon! We expect an update to Chrome for Android starting with a developer update to happen before the end of the year, and we’re actively working towards aligning releases across all platforms, including Android, starting early next year.
[Android General] saladfinger:
Google has released Chrome Beta in Play Store.

Current Chrome version:

AppleWebKit/535.19 Chrome 18.0.1025.166

Chrome Beta

AppleWebKit/537.22 Chrome 25.0.1364.37

So to be clear, the Chrome Beta is running the lastest webkit and chrome version.

After playing around with it, I feel no huge improvements on the topic issue with lag on flings, zooming and scrolling. Chrome Beta is still not near the responsiveness of iOS Safari or Windows Phone Internet Explorer 10.
[Android General] Turbotab:
There are it seems other issues affecting the scrolling speed of Chrome Android!, namely HTML threading and the big one, side-painting. Google is going to implement features present in the smooth scrolling AOSP browser, which they call Picture Pile, employing display lists. These 2 projects are not in the the beta, but they say will be part of Chrome Android 25 - Stable. If Google manages the smoothness of AOSP browser, with the speed of the latest V8 & Webkit, as well Chrome's usual features it will be great, if not long overdue!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Hey guys,

I want to know potential ways to brick my phone so I will be more careful.

Which ones will brick my phone?

1. Flashing recovery for another phone

2. Flashing ROM for another phone

3. Flashing just the kernel for another phone

4. Flashing wrong ROM without the kernel

5. Flashing a mod for another phone

6. Pulling the battery when doing a NAND restore/backup

7. Pulling the battery when installing a mod or a ROM

Or any others you know about. Thanks!

And no, I don't want to brick my phone, this is for prevention
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrenegade7:
To be honest its seriously not recommended to do any of the things you listed, some of them you may be able to restore your NAND to fix others will kill your phone. Just make sure you follow the guides on here and you'll be fine. But seriously don't install mods or roms that are for another phone.

Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Don't do any of those....its still a £500 phone and doing any of those things you mentioned will reduce your phone to a rather uncomfortable form of loo roll! If you catch my drift.... :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
That depends on the definition of "bricking". For me, a bricked phone is one that can no longer be fixed no matter what you do: it has no use other than an expensive paperweight.

Flashing kernels (even if wrong ones) won't brick your phone. They will render your phone unuseable until a proper kernel is flashed, but it isn't a brick.

Also, wrong ROMs won't brick your phone UNLESS they also contain a bootloader and/or a Partition Information Table (PIT) file, which is quite rare.

So, bricking (by my definition), only happens when you mess with the bootloader and/or the PIT, because those are either impossible or extremely hard to fix.

No matter what you do, DO NOT mess with the bootloader: as long as the bootloader is ok, everything else (including the PIT) can be fixed with some effort.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Thank you, that's exactly the answer I was looking for. So it's impossible to hardbrick my SGS3 unless I flash the bootloader?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Yes, or the PIT (Partition Information table).

Never, EVER, flash any of these, unless you know EXACTLY what and why you are doing it: PIT, Bootloader, Recovery.

Flashing kernels and simple ROMs (such as the stock ones) don't brick your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
What bout custom ROMs, like CM10?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
You have to know if they include a recovery and/or bootloader before flashing.

Usually they DON'T, but you have to check.

Besides, you don't need CMW ( = recovery) to use CM10 ( = ROM), although some badly informed people will tell you that you do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Well, even though it's only for prevention;

this is the ultimate way of bricking a device:

Take a picture or download a picture of the desired device, make sure it fits onto a brick, then glue the picture onto a brick, voilà, you now have a bricked device.

Now to serious things:

All the things you wrote are correct.

Hope I could help!
