[HTC Titan] GuestK00161:
It is possible that this argument could be relevant...however, you may have to look at it from another standpoint that would make your argument have flaws. For instance, our devices are not the only devices that are not updated to current technology. -Meaning Android users that are still on Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS...etc could argue the same thing. I just want to point out that Android users have it slightly worse than us at this point, in which updates are "rarely" seen on these type of phones. Updates are pushed out from the OEMs to the carriers, but still the carriers refuse to forward the updates to the phones. I remember reading an article about Android phones and updates on a random tech site just recently. Basically it stated that updates to these types of phones on the US carriers are "very" limited and rare. Oh look I found the article!

http://news.discovery.com/tech/android-ice-cream-sandwich-jelly-bean-updates-121013.html

So with that said, I'm sure that if you tried to cancel your contract with them and enforced your argument you stated here, you will still be entitled to the penalty of canceling the contract. This maybe a different argument but I have seen where carriers have made people still pay the penalty charges even if a person has to cancel the contract due to legal/personal reasons (death, going out of the country, identity theft, etc). If I could give an analogy to contracts on phone carriers, they would be like "student loans." -Both entity's motto suggests "somebody has to pay for something."

Now going back on topic, if by some miracle ATT gave into this argument, I would be overwhelmingly surprised because millions of customers could do the same exact thing you wanted to do. Contracts with carriers are carefully worded to where loopholes like this can't happen.

Anyway, if you happen to try this argument of yours and it works, let me know. I would be right behind you on this! As a tech enthusiast, I am always wanting more -in terms of current technology. I consider my phone to be another piece of technology that I've personalized to enhance my own technology experiences. Most people who own phones, would have another viewpoint -which is basically just a "communication device." Since I've been on ATT ever since they merged with Cingular, I know abandoned updates on phones, such as in our situation, is extremely frustrating. A typical user who only uses the phone for means of communication would probably not even acknowledge that phones "have updates" that enhance the user experience. But then again, that is why I am here on XDA -to better myself with this. Ever since Windows Mobile 5, I've learned that if you want to enhance your experience with these devices this is the place to be. Over the years on this forum, I've learned that getting what you want and need for your phone is easier than it looks.

Anyway, I think this post is long enough. lol. If anybody else wants to chime in and explain some further reasoning of why this argument would not work...then be my guest. Till next time....
[HTC One X+] Ferrari353:
I got the GS3 on AT&T a little under 3 weeks ago, so if I want to exchange it for a different phone, I still have a bit of time. I like the Galaxy S3 but I keep thinking that I could be happier with the One X+...It has a better screen, a better camera (Although I read one review saying the GS3 had a better camera), more storage (on my Skyrocket, I got so confused with where everything was stored, either on the internal or external SD card, so a single storage partition seems much nicer), FM Radio, more solid/durable feel, and a quad-core processor.

The Galaxy S3 has a removable battery, SD card slot, a physical home button (which I'm actually starting to like), the power button on the side (which seems nice for these bigger phones (I didn't have any problems with the power button on top with my Inspire, but that was a much smaller phone), microUSB port on the bottom (like it should be), and an unlocked bootloader (although I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes when it comes to rooting and stuff).

All the reviews and comparisons I've read talk about stock stuff which doesn't really matter to me. What I care about is hardware mostly because I end up rooting and running some form of vanilla Android. I'm really having a hard time making my decision though.

I really need some help making this decision. If both phones were running Cyanogenmod or AOKP, which would be better?
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Galaxy phones will always be better to dev for. Samsung use little to none nand protection compared to HTC. Insted opting for a binary coumter.
[HTC One X+] Ferrari353:
I don't know all that much about either but once you root the phone, isn't it the same after that? Or not?
[HTC One X+] davidstech11:
No
[HTC One X+] hasoon2000:
I can weigh in my input. I had a GS3 for a week. Terrible phone in my opinion. I sold it and went back to my HTC Amaze 4G. Also, depending on which company the S3 is for, a certain CM dev is on it. Steve Kondik (founder of CM) is personally working on it for the T-Mobile model. Samsung will always be number 1 for CM since Steve is an employee there. Puts more attention to getting a Samsung phone.

[General Questions and Answers] nsideguy1:
I own a Droid 4 and recently dropped it, cracked the digitizer, and replaced it. Now my touch screen is only detecting these thin horizontal lines on the upper half of the screen. I'm wondering if it's possible that I screwed up the phone on disassembly/reassembly or if it's more likely that the new digitizer is defective.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Thanks,

Alex

P.S. The attachment is a screen shot of my phone running an app which detects points sent by the touch screen/digitizer and records them.

Bump
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Firstly - please don't bump your own threads, and certainly not until at least 24 hours have passed.

Secondly - The reason for you not getting a reply is likely due to the fact that XDA is actually supposed to be a "Development" site, not a "Hardware" site

Thirdly - The likelihood is that you either;-

a) bought a cheap, eBay special digitiser which is not fully compatible

b) didn't get the connections right on install

c) broke something else inside the phone when you dropped it

Start off by taking it all apart again and rebuilding it, if that doesn't work then decide if you want to spend more money buying another digitiser or just ditch the phone and get a new one.

P.S. Why include a pointless poll for this thread? :rolleyes:

P.P.S. Not sure why, but you have made two posts and XDA shows you as only making one. Strange.
[General Questions and Answers] nsideguy:
That is classic yo, made my night. Well I was just checkin in here cause I couldn't find a more appropriate forum. I figured someone might know something, but yeh sorry bout the bumps. Although it did get you to respond, hopefully I didn't break something. I don't think so because everything on the phone works perfectly, I even fixed the little headset speaker. After much arm pulling I finally convinced the company to give me a refund, we'll see if a new one does the trick.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruemi:
Hello

I've just recently got a HTC Desire HD. I've rooted it with the help of aahk-11092012.

I've installed CM 7 first and it all worked fine.

A bit later I installed JellyTime ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 ).

This worked fine for about 2 days. Than, suddenly, the phone crashed. The screen went black and I the phone would not accept any key presses anymore. So I removed the battery and started the phone again. It hung on the htc-logo.

I was still able to get into recovery but it complained that it could not access the cache partition.

Upon further investigation i found out, that the partition table of the internal memory is broken. I could not mount or format any of the partitions. Factory reset just complained about that it could not access the partitions.

So i switched off the phone and started adb.

dmesg shows this

<6>[ 7.630279] rs30000048:00040000 rs30000048:00040000: setting system clock to 2012-11-23 20:51:58 UTC (1353703918)

<3>[ 7.816436] init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2

And if I try to use parted I only get errors:

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk0
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print list
print list
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
(parted)

The same error is show if I try to remove partitions.

When I try to write a new disklabel it just hangs there forever. No error message (also not in dmesg) or anything like this.

How can I fix the partition table of the internal memory and what do I have to do to get it to work again?

I guess that I will have to create a new partition table (and most probably destroy all the data on the internal memory in the process).

What will I have to reinstall in what order afterwards?

hboot?

cwm?

and how do I have to do this from the adb? Or is there a possibility do do this out of recovery?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruemi:
I've tried several things in the meantime.

Ind the longer I try, the more I think that I have a bricked phone now since I seem to be unable to write anything to the emmc :(

I've tried to get back to the original firmware. So I copied the File PD98IMG.zip the the sd card, got into hboot and started the installation in hboot.

I could start it and it told me "Updating in progress, do not power off"

But there was no progress bar and after 10 minutes I pulled the battery. The phone is still in the same state as before so I think it did not write anything to the internal memory.

With fastboot, it seems to be the same. I can start fastboot on the phone aqnd it changes to "fastboot usb" when i plug the phone in. But every attempt to flash something to the phone just let's fastboot on the computer stop and hang (no message is shown, it's just sitting there and apparently doing nothing).

My computer system is debian linux btw.

I'm running out of ideas... please help... and it it's just the confirmation, that I have a bricked phone (that is long out of the warranty period anyway) :eek:

No one will never say you that rooting your phone is "110%" secure, basically because if it fails, he would get in trouble. As far as I know, the most you can get by rooting is a boot loop which can be easily fixed. Rooting and in terms of the kernel and build.prop mods, you will need to say what Galaxy Ace you have (eg.: S5830, S5830L, S5830i...), to know exacty what kernel you need, mods and the safest way to root your phone.
