Solution = Upgrade your current phone unsubsidized at full retail, sell your old phone on ebay to offset some of the cost, and retain your unlimited data until it's new contract time down the road.

[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
None of the reviews have questioned battery life, only people here that think that less than 3000mah is some sort of travesty these days.

not ready to decide between this and the note 2. Note 2 has sd card slot and bigger battery, but samsung plastic sucks and their radios don't seem to get along with cdma. Been a htc fan for a long time, so I want to play with both first.

Ok, I just bought an HTC Acquire with Android Version 2.3.4 HTC Sense 3.0 Software number 1.26.557.9 Kernel 2.6.35.10

When I reboot it into recovery mode it says:

***Locked***

Kingdom PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.22.0000

RADIO-1.11.00.0903

eMMC-boot

Aug 8 2011

I have tried to root this phone using Gingerbreak, Revolutionary, Z4root, and a few others.

When I search on Google or the XDA website I can't find absolutely anything about an HTC Acquire. It's like the internet thinks the phone doesn't exist? I recently upgraded to it from my HTC Desire CDMA Bravo-c that I had rooted, flashed a custom rom, custom kernel, custom radio, the works. But I can't for the life of me figure out this Acquire. Can someone please help with a little bit of info about this phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I have heard that the Acquire is the same as the HTC Evo Design so root methods for that device should work on the Acquire. However this is what I have heard and is no guarantee that it will work and there is the possibility it could brick your device if it doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kodyclarence:
That's what I heard as well. So I've tried a few ways to root it using some of the HTC Evo Design methods, but none of them worked. :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kodyclarence:
No luck with SuperOneClick either :/ I just got a bunch of "False" "Failed" "Failed" "Unable to stat" blah blah blah crap

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajorg:
I just updated my Nexus 7 to Android 4.2 JOP40C and it seems the very handy rotation button in the notification pull-down is gone. No quick settings either, it's just all gone. :confused:

Is it really just gone?

Is there some way to re-enable it?

Why would Google do that? Particularly after enabling home screen rotation in a recent update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinPM:
The buttons you're looking for can be found in the new pulldown with 4.2, you can find it by swiping from the top down with two fingers, or by swiping on the right side of the screen. I think.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ontoptherock:
does the launcher auto rotate when in landscape now?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajorg:
Oh! Swipe on the right side of the screen does it. Like on the Kindle Fire. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajorg:
If you have rotation enabled and as at least 4.1.2, it does.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagou01:
Indeed the top right corner swipe does bring quick settings but there's no way i can bring it with two fingers :-/

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
Curious as to why people always look to the sdcard for swap? Internally on my G2 it has +300M on the /data partition so for me I have just always used a 128M file on /data/local/swap as the swapfile. Yes I could run out of space on /data, but never have also this way the sdcard doesn't get overused.

Just a thought.

-brad
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
isnt over using the internal memory more of a risk as a new sdcard is cheap, at least compared to a new phone? just playing devils advocate here as when i do use swap its always internal memory rather than sd, well at least since nik3r came up with it a few months back. prior to him i dont think anyone used swap with android other then sd swap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] benzmar:
I got the SGSN2 two days back, and the gesture way of taking screenshot seeing litle awkard. I tried waving my palm over the screen and sensor and it didnt capture. Went to the shop from where I got and they said to touch the screen and swipe. I did and lots of apps gets opened. Sometimes, my screen gets captured. I felt captuing from pressing Power + Home is good and using S Pen and taking screenshot. Anyone got any idea how to taking screenshot by waving of hand as shown in video witih ease?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scythe024:
I've had no issue with it. As long as you use the side of your hand, lay it flat on the screen, and swipe it works every time just fine. Are you using your whole palm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
+1, turn your hand on the side. Don't use your palm. Put it in the middle and swipe left or right. Done.

Oh and its not nesessary to use red letters. We can read white just fine.

[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan25012003:
So, I have some relatives who lives in the US who can buy me a cyan 920 in December which is unavailable outside the US. The US pricing is also impressive since the no-contract version costs just $449 unlike the actual version that will come here (Indonesia) at about $649 and by about January or something. I also found this website which can unlock the 920 for $49.99. Should I take the plunge?

http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_AT_T_Nokia_Lumia_920_p/unlockattn920.htm
[Nokia Lumia 920] emckai:
I would do more research on the internet to see if the website is actually legit. The places I get my unlock codes are from eBay from Top Sellers.

For the AT&T Lumia 900, they have unlock codes on eBay, but you have to complete the two year contract.

There might be a way to unlock the phone.

If your relatives can call AT&T confirming you can get the phone unlocked if they buy it outright (full retail price)

I think you should be able to get it unlocked if you pay full price.
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
Also I found this site who afirm they will unlock it too.

http://www.gsmunlockusa.com/u-s-a-at-t-nokia-lumia-610-710-800-820-900-920(1-3-days)-p-908.html

Hope someone can try and confirm if this one is a trusted site.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan25012003:
Unfortunately, AT&T is not being very helpful regarding unlocking the 920. Even when paid full-price. I don't intend on actually buying the phone with contract, but I just want to know if you guys have similar success/fail stories since this will be the first time for me to unlock phones. (also the reliability of the websites would be awesome)

PS. I also wonder where these websites get the unlock codes from, and what would happen if those codes would not work.
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
when the first generation of Windows Phones arrives, i bought a Samsung Focus V1.3 (which is my actual phone) and i get the unlock code from FastGSM. I ask them for the unlock code for Lumia 920 and i get this response:

the word "yet" makes me think that unlock codes arent far away.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Cellunlock,net is reputable website - I have gotten unlock codes for many a phone through them. Only once, they were not able to get an unlock code for me, but they refunded my money promptly.

For the AT&T 920, they do claim a turnaround time of 5-10 days. I'm not sure why it is so long, but do you want to wait that long to find out?

BTW, if you do decide to go with Cellunlock.net, use the code "CRACKB50" for 50% off on the unlock price.
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
Hope some AT&T Lumia owner try to unlock it. If they unlock it, i can buy my own lumia and use it in my country with no risk. BTW, using the voucher code from rajeshr the unlock code cost 19.99.

Edit: I found other service for unlock rogers devices

http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/nokia/Nokia-Lumia-920-LTE-network-unlock/

don't know if canadagsm is a trusted site, but again, some one can try it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Reputable site, but they don't have any unlock codes as yet. I got an email from them this morning stating that and asking me to wait for another 2-3 days. I guess we'll wait and see.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rohitgarewal:
ive had two lumia 920's and ATT actually sent me the unlock code for the first one! However, I think the CSR made a mistake when submitting my request, because when I received the unlock code it says its for a Lumia 900.

Did it work? I'm not sure because I have already exchanged the phone for another color!

I submitted another request for the second phone, but promptly received a notice saying they wont unlock because of the exclusivity period.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan25012003:
@rohitgarewal: How did you ask for the unlock code and for what reasons?

@BigwaveMx: Were you able to use tethering with other carriers after the unlock?

Thanks, btw for the replies!
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
i haven't (yet) a lumia 920. Still waitting to buy the unlock code for use it in my country. However, I read in some places that there is a problem with tethering in AT&T and Rogers devices. For me, is not a big deal have tethering. I bealive the international version works fine.
[Nokia Lumia 920] igorpaes:
Hi

Hi, anyone got the unlock code? What do you think about that: ht t p : / / blogs.msdn.com/b/zxue/archive/2012/11/11/sim-pin-and-pin-unlock-key-puk-code-on-your-nokia-lumia-920.aspx Developer unlock, is this work?
[Nokia Lumia 920] wcaceres:
Got 20 digit code from ATT

I called and requested an unlock code to use the phone while traveling abroad (Bought the phone at full price). I did get an 20 digit unlock code but it didn't work. Called them back and they said they will send a new request. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
I don't think the developer unlock is the same as network unlock. From what I read on that link, developer unlock allows you to sideload (using an Android term; i.e. not from the market) apps for development and testing. It does not say anything about unlocking the phone for other carriers.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan25012003:
will this work if I have no at&t account?
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
Any news about the unlocking for AT&T devices? Still looking for a cheap unlocked Lumia but can't find anything cheapper than $777 US
[Nokia Lumia 920] FxBeast:
Expansys USA is apparently selling the AT&T branded 920 unlocked for $620. Can't post links yet, not enough posts. It is recently went from "We have no confirmed lead time for this item" to "Stock Usually Ships In 10 Days." This looks like a very attractive choice, if you don't mind the att logo ;) I'm considering buying one of these.
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
Ok, i will check it. Thanks for the heads!
[Nokia Lumia 920] BigwaveMx:
I found a new service to unlock AT&T lock. Sadly I haven't any IMEI code to test. Maybe someone can try it. Btw, I doesn't know if is a trusted site.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
I've been emailing every site I find that says they can unlock the phones..

So far they have all replied negatively.

I just emailed your site and I'm waiting on a reply now.

I also called AT&T and gave them a sad story.. hoping that they would sympathize with me and give me the code.

That didn't work either :)

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to switch .apk 's between roms. What I meen is the following. I like the themes and the gallery of the democrazy-rom. Is it possible to 'take' these apk's from /system/app from the democrazy rom and putt them into system/app of an other rom (e.g. this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899615) and than flash the zip on my gio? or is it better to just flash the rom and manually move the files into system/app with es file explorer. Will it work?

thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] jordbus:
having some strange issues on democrazy-rom: sometimes unable to DISable wifi, serious wake-up lag(think it's fixed when using lagfree-governor, but drains battery like hell), sometimes gps is on but no indicator in toolbar and no signal.

Indeed, if democrazy is based on marcin, than it's useless to change :D.

thanks for the reply.

BTW: I think that wake-up lag is due to S2E, is better to use one of these scripts instead? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

[Motorola Atrix 2] BlushMaq:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
My guess is up to 20 (or less). Many of the multi-touch test applications from Google Play only support that many. But I was unable to find any specs on multi-touch capacity on the Atrix 2...
[Motorola Atrix 2] BlushMaq:
Thats why I posted this question.I have googled itbut didn.t find it either.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ashwasash:

[Motorola Atrix 2] sunnytse1:
4
[Motorola Atrix 2] spunxhoe:
There is an app called Dotty on google play, if i am not mistaken... That will tell you how much touch point can be picked up.. When i checked it on my atrix 2, it was 4
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Ok so with 100% certainty I can say that this phone has 4 simultaneous touch points at any one time.

This did not come from a testing app on the play store or anything like that. A good reliable source showed me the unreleased specs document for our A2 that even goes down to how many resistors are in each circuit on the board. This document shows 4 multi-touch point registers on the digitizer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironnius:
Hey,

I have been flashing my Android devices for years, (long time member of XDA) my last one was the HTC Sensation and I must have flashed 50+ different roms in its lifetime.

I want to flash something nice onto my S3, I already rooted it, backed up the stock rom, and backed up the EFS folder (this is a new step for me and I assume Samsung specific)

The question is, I seem to be reading quite a bit about people bricking their phones... so is this due to the S3 being a bit more delicate? or people relying too much on things like Odin instead of flashing roms the old fashioned way?

I have a feeling i know the answer but would appreciate the thoughts of the community.

Cheers guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4219121:
I used to have a Sensation too and I have to say that flashing is a little bit easier on S3. No bootloader unlocking, no flashing firmware before flashing ics (3.32 firmware if I recall corectly)... If you flash using CWM like you did with Sensation, nothing can go wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornlivedie:
It's not delicate... it's pretty easy and straightforward.

Don't wanna brick your phone? Then don't flash a ROM that's not for your model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:

Hey everyone, I'm new here too.

I will be receiving my international Galaxy S3 in two days and need some help getting started.

I have read some of the guides but I need some help understanding the differences in what to do.

From what I understood,

I should start with rooting the phone. 1. Should I do it using the toolkit from here or using Odin as described here?

2. Is it actually worth it to root and update the firmware to Jelly Bean now or should I just wait for the official Samsung Jelly Bean update that will be released in december (according to some websites)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironnius:
Firstly, Welcome to the forums.

To answer your questions:

1. Follow the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

2. Make sure you back up your ROM with CWM, you should also back up your EFS folder, I used Hellcats K-tool.

3. Do NOT ask for Warez.

I'm using the UK unbranded firmware and I have no issues at all, no lag etc. I would upgrade now but it's up to you.

I'm not responsible for you bricking your device if you can't follow the basic instructions in the thread I linked. Goodluck :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Hi.

You need to install either Kies or Samsung USB drivers. You also need CFRoot 6.4 (you can find it here on the forums), and Odin (you can also find it here).

Boot your phone into download mode, connect it to Odin, and flash CFRoot.

You can download full games and apps without root, too. Just head on to Google's Play Store.
