Hey all,

So I'm trying to delete all the stock bookmarks. However, there are 3 that seemingly cannot be deleted (Google, Your Guide Mobile, and VZW Home Page). I've tried clearing data for the Browser in App Management, as well as downloading Bookmark SB to try and delete them. Nothing seems to be working so far.. does anyone know of any tricks I haven't tried yet? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] richclawson:
Hi all

I have followed (successfully i think) this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705913 to Downgrade and S Off my HTC IS.

I have a couple of questions.

1. I can not install ICS via OTA update. Is this because my HBOOT is now is now on v 1.13 and need a later version?

If so how can i do this?

2. Is S-Off the same as Radio-Off? My phone now acknowledge my SIM card "new SIM card detected", however I still get no service / signal from my network. How can I fix this? Do I need to Radio-Off or is there some other method?

I'd be very grateful for some help with explanation... :)

thanks Rich
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Epicnole:
Has anyone gotten the GV notices to work correctly on the SIII? Can you get VM to pay in the call log?

I upgraded from the Epic 4G (CM10) to the SIII, installed GV (always used lite on the Epic) and things seemed fine. Sent my old GV# to a different gmail account and tried full GV. I started missing calls/calls wouldn't come through, no notifications, & had trouble making calls. Undid the full GV and went back to lite. Uninstalled and reinstalled the GV app. Calls seem to be coming through (I receive calls now & when I call from a different phone things seem to work) but I can't get VM playback in the call log and I don't get VM notices. Any help is appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
It's a known issue. GV not communicating well with JB for some reason. Anyway, you have to go to GV site online. Read this http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...-new-htc-one-x-today-issues-google-voice.html

It worked for me.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Epicnole:
Thanks, I tried it but no luck. Phone calls work, miss call alerts works, no vm notifications, and no show in call log as the app is supposed to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DurhamHusker:
Uninstall, reinstall Google Voice, then don't turn on the switch for integration into the call logs. I've read that it doesn't work and borks vm notifications when it's on.

Recently purchased this phone through sprints awesome deal this past weekend. Had a ns4g which I love hate to see it go. Is this phone simple to root?

Any 4.2 based roms?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
Simple to Root yes, Most roms are 4.1 based i believe.. Try The People's Rom.. Great overall performer with a few tweaks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Easy to root yes I had this phone less then 4 hours and it was rooted. The only thing that took so long is I went out to dinner after buying it. Rooted both mine and the wife's and tested TPR (The Peoples Rom) and CM10 both are very ROCK solid. Not sure which one I am going to stick with but leaning on TPR.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTMFxOffshore:
To my knowledge the only ROM's currently out are 4.0.1 and 4.1.1 based. I don't believe any 4.2 ROM's are out, but you can check through the forums. Though, I'm pretty certain there isn't.

you can do all that with : fastboot oem lock

No you can't ....it shows relocked not locked
[HTC One V] gulsher:
but bootloader is locked then why???
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
It's relocked. Not officially locked.

I believe it just saves everything from being overwritten or something, but as far as I know with this stuff, you can't get it to be locked like when you first got it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vtec2k7:
Can someone please post some 4G LTE speeds for the note 2 in NY? Want to buy it but it really depends on whether its fast enough or not. Im sure it is because verizon has the best 4G network in the country but im just trying to make sure no issues with the chipset in the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
I've ran speedtests on several newer devices, such as the MAXX HD, DNA, and GS3 since I tried them all out at one point, and I've tried several devices at various Verizon stores, I've found them all to be pretty consistent in the speed tests.

The real world speeds differ greatly though from tower to tower, I could be in the city and get 5-10Mbps down, and go to the middle of nowhere and get 20-30Mbps down, as there are fewer people connected to that particular tower.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vtec2k7:
I ended up buying it. My lte speeds in queens, ny are pretty impressive. 18mb down 11mb up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
lets remember they are still fixing towers from Sandy up there as well, but Verizon is very consistent in speeds across the country.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfaitas:
Halo!

I am a fanatic note2 user but have came up with the following annoying limitation for my work:

Under contacts I need to save large amount of information in the notes field.

Problem is there is a size limitation and after that nothing is displayed or can be inserted!

That is annoying as I have large notes created from my iphone which does not have a limit, or allows for more text, and I cant read them in my contacts.

Any solutions?

Are there any AOSP ROMs with face unlock support? Please let me know.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
probably all of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
I am using LiquidSmooth RC9 and I do not see any option in System settings->Security->Screen lock for Face Unlock.

The only options I see are None, Slide, Pattern, PIN, & Password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I'm pretty sure eclipse does. I'll check when i switch back to my s3 in a little.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
check that specific thread. they were discussing it i cant reember what was said.

aside from that most probably do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Well just checked and face unlock works perfectly on eclipse..... just like everything in eclipse!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
Thanks. I will try out eclipse then. I've used it in the past but there was an issue with Bluetooth so I switched over to liquidsmooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I use Bluetooth all the time in the latest build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
One other question is I think facebook sync was never working right for me before on Eclipse and I had to download a separate facebook sync app to sync my facebook apps. Is that issue fixed in the latest version of Eclipse?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I'm fairly certain all of the AOSP support it but whether its included is another story. Liquid RC9 its not included in the rom zip or gapps zip, whether this was done on purpose or not i have no idea, my guess would be that its not included because it lowers the overall size of the rom, but again that's just my opinion.

Those looking for a zip file with it, slimbeans has a download on his site for just the faceunlock, now whether this will work on other roms and/or cause any issues i have no idea, i haven't tested it because its not something ill ever see myself using, but again you can try it if you'd like. You can download it directly from slimbeans site from this link
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gtgrad:
Awesome! Thanks I might try this because I just flashed to Eclipse and it looks like the Facebook contact syncing still doesn't work and also I like the keyboard that is used by LiquidSmooth ROM a lot better as it includes things like ?, ., etc. on the first keyboard where you can long hold a key to get the punctuations. I do like the fact that LED is working on Eclipse though as it does not seem to be working on Liquid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRSTOY1:
There is an app in the play store that does face unlock, it works pretty well.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankitx10i:
Hello,

I had a Custom ROM installed on my device (Xperia X10i) with Unloacked Bootloader. cwm recovery was installed too.

I then mistakenly tried to install a wrong update from ROM Toolbox, this required a Reboot.

Since the there has been a Boot Loop on my device and I am unable to boot to Recovery as well.

I am able to Flash some Kernels using Flashtool, but the device is still unrecognized.

The Boot Loop process is as follows:

Shows the Boot Logo of the Kernel > and then displays a error related image and then it boots again.

It seems that the Custom ROM went corrupt and is not able to boot to recovery as well.

What options can I think of to recover from this.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzufa:
If you flash another kernel, did you menage to boot into Rom or recovery???

If you able to boot into Rom, and if you can use it without problem, OK. If you can't boot into Rom but can boot into recovery, wipe everything, format system, data, cash, dalvik cash, and install some custom rom zip via recovery.

If you not able to boot Rom or recovery, recommend to reflash your phone Stock Rom with SEUS (Sony Update Service), and then flash Custom Rom and kernel again.

Hello all, I'm new on HTC One x and I wanto to ask you about warranty.

What about it when I'll relock bootloader and install all stock like rom, boot.img etc, will HTC take this to the service?

As i know bootloader will show "relocked". Service said they won't repair phone for free if there is "unlocked".
[HTC One X] treebill:
Some people get away with it while other don't.

I believe that if it is all stock and isn't running, in HTC's terminology (illegal software) then you should be ok.

Both inspire and desire have gorilla glass. It is pretty hard to scratch. I have kept mine in my pocket every day for over a year and also dropped it on concrete a few times. Still not a single scratch on my screen. Try cleaning it really well with a paper towel and glass cleaner. May just be greasy and giving the impression of being scratched. Unless you put your phone through some pretty rough abuse.

Gorilla glass is what is on the phone, and it definitely works. I was hiking in Colorado and took my case off for the trip to make the picture clarity better since the otter box covers the lens (Yeah that was a stupid idea)...

FULL CREDIT TO FAITHCRY

Hey guys today when i was browsing xda i was in the Gnex forums and

came across a awesome thread with custom lock rings for AOSP based roms

the custom lock rings are made by senior member FaithCry

and i must say there amazing i have tested a few on our galaxy s3 and they all work perfectly

so i asked FaithCry if i could post a link to his thread here so we to can enjoy custom

lock rings on our AOSP based roms

READ:all zips need to be applied with either metamorph or zipthemer

a suggestion from FaithCry is to also adb pull your framework-res.apk

incase of bootloop so you can easily push it back if needed

heres a couple of screenshots of the lock rings i use:

so head over to FaithCry's thread now and see what you like or even request one of
