I was going to say get her the gift card for xmas and let her pick or wait.

A few new phones will be out in the early part of the year and if my upgrade was now at this point I would wait.

That said the Evo 4g LTE was $0.99 from Sprint a few days ago I saw on a link someone shared. (Upgrades or new). So that makes it cheaper vs S3

If the option was to really just get a phone now and not wait though I say S3 good if you have the Evo. You can both always swap if one likes the other hah.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrSteez:
Get her the EVO in white. I convinced my long-time girlfriend to get the new EVO with her upgrade she had this summer over waiting for the iPhone 5 and over the S3 and she couldn't be happier with the thing. Personally I'll always love HTC and Sense way better than Samsung and their gaudy Touchwiz.

And besides it's fun us having the same phone now.

Android devices are meant for multitasking. Some devices, like the Galaxy Note 2,

are specifically designed to launch two apps, or more, at the same time.

The Google Play Store also offers a variety of multitasking apps to allow

you to multitask on your device. The FlipLauncher app is a multitasking app

that allows you to group your favorite apps or shortcuts and access them

from wherever on your device.

get the extremely usefull app HERE

When you launch FlipLauncher in portrait mode, 6 colored bars (i use one) will appear

on the left side of your screen. These bars serve as your virtual drawer

containing your apps and shortcuts. Just swipe to open those bars.

You can set up to 4 apps or shortcuts on each bar, giving you a total

of 24 apps or shortcuts.

The app also allows you to personalize the bars on your device’s screen.

You can change a bar’s color, adjust its width, set its placement, and

set its opacity. You can even disable one or two bars. These virtual drawers

really look like the Multi Window feature of the Galaxy Note 2 but arranged horizontally.

The app also has a different layout when you hold your device in landscape mode.

In this screen orientation, 4 colored bars (again i only use one) will appear on the left

side of the screen. Each bar allows you to place 6 apps or shortcuts, giving you still a

total of 24 apps.Just like the previous orientation, you can still change a bar’s color,

transfer the bar to the opposite side, adjust its width, and set its opacity. You can also

remove some bars according to your liking.

[HTC One X] sheamus:
If you want to skip the back story, the question is if someone offered you a brand new XL for your X would you do it?

My Thoughts

XL generally benches better for real world type tests.

X benches _much_ better on synthetics that make use of all cores.

X, and has LTE. My city shoudl be getting LTE within a few months.

THD game provide some added visual bonus, though framerate tends to be tiny bit lower than the non-thd on XL.

The handful of THD games I have I have already beat. Just means I wouldn't be able to buy anymore THD games.

X has more storage. But I think I can live with 16GB. I'll just sync playlists instead of entire library.

X is a little scuffed up (see the full story), but screen is near mint.

Full Story

Bought my white X from an online dealer, paid full retail (ouch).

Had wifi issue, so phoned HTC n/a, and they said to send to Houston for repairs, they said to keep SIM, SIM Tray, charger.

2 months later they hadn't shipped. It was because the US repair center could not get the parts in for X because of Apple patents.

1 Week later they finally ship back. My phone now has a black casing on it which is quite scuffed, included a scratch on camera. They said color change is not standard procedure.

My white sim tray looks dumb. Phone HTC, they send new sim tray: it is white, and does not fit. Phone HTC, they send new sim tray: again I get a white sim tray that does not fit.

Phone HTC, starting to get upset. They are not offering to just exchange my phone with a new XL. I asked about getting an X+, but they ended up saying no. I suspect they are having trouble getting the X+ into N/A as well.

Customer Service

I should add that HTC's customer service has been amazing, even if their execution could be improved. Of the 20+ times I spoke to them on the phone, I always got to talk to a human immediately. Everyone I spoke to was polite, and I felt they genuinely wanted to help me (and not in a patronizing manner). Despite the flaky wi-fi, and the major hassle this has been, HTC will be my first choice for android because of how great they have been.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Cool story bro. I'd say do it then you can brag about benchmarks and play non THD games how cool!
[HTC One X] ste1164:
The One X+ hasnt been held up. I would try and argue for a One X+ if you have had them send a tray that doesnt fit that many times.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Not to excuse the delays or treatment you received from HTC U.S. but if it were a Samsung imported phone they wouldn't even give you the time of the day. You'd have to send it overseas on your own dime to get it repaired.

That being said the XL is a pretty bad phone. It's got 11GB of user accessible storage and Adreno blocks 360MB of the 1GB of RAM so multitasking is at best poor. Based on your situation it might be the best of some bad options though. I'd push HTC U.S. a bit harder as sending back a phone in a different color than they received it with external damage is pretty poor customer treatment.

Good luck.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Buy a genuine white back cover, remove the crap black one and fit new white one. Solved.

Can't believe you're happy with service after being sent wrong colour, damaged and then sim tray fiasco. Can I build your next house?

My receptionist is really polite and cares.
[HTC One X] sheamus:
I guess expectations of customer service are so low these days, not having people be dicks can be considered decent customer servic, regardless of customer service.

They have already said it is this or nothing. I don't really have any faith that I will get an X+.

The 11GB, and 320MB are some interesting numbers to be sure. Really making me rethink this.

Thanks for the advice.

Same issue here...Just tried flashing the new kernal in Goo Manager as well as a new ICS build within TWRP, and I'm hung at the same screen.

Time to do some homework. Any help is appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] ghostlobster:
OK, got this working. Basically, it all boiled down to a bootloader issue. I was using an older bootloader with a JB ROM. Bad idea! I was able to get into recovery by doing a vol down+pwr to boot it up, then selected an older ROM from my SD card to get it back up and working.

I then poked around for updated bootloaders, and snagged v8 ICS bootloader.

I applied that guy, wiped the device, installed CM10, gapps for ICS and everything worked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Green Ranger:
So I was searching around Amazon for a new headset since I lost mine at the gym the other day and wanted a good quality one with a mic, and I stumbled upon this: http://www.amazon.com/AcousticSheep-SP4BM-SleepPhones-v-4-Packaging/dp/B0046H8ZHS/ref=sr_1_83?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1354297201&sr=1-83

Reviews seems good and I'm kind of tempted to buy this because I like listening to music before bed.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this out or heard of this? ...also suggestions for a standard earbud headset with mic would be appreciated too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffu:
I've already googled and found that it seems like this problem happens to galaxy nexus owners often so...

I noticed yesterday morning that my phone would think it was still charging despite being unplugged. Looking into the battery stats it could tell when it was or wasn't.

My suspicion is that my use of an old micro usb cable (plastic housing was kind of chipped off) led to it wiggling more than normal, and something got messed up within the micro usb port of my gnex.

It still charges fine. I went on to update to 4.2.1 (dirty flash I guess?); upon booting up it would flip back from charging and not charging for a little bit, then go back to charging.

I think I was able to get my phone to light up and say it was charging while off as well, so I'm pretty damn sure it's hardware...

My issue is that I'm still within a year of my warranty, but I've already rooted and unlocked, and am not 100% familiar with reverting and back anymore... I haven't tried contacting Samsung either.

I think I could live with it being stuck charging, as long as it still charged. It just seems like it has problems reading on whether or not it is or isn't, not being able to charge.

Should I try to seek a warranty fix? What's my best option at this point?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
look in your usb port, make sure that none of the fingers are slightly bent touching each other. ive found thats the most common cause of the phone showing that its charging when its not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffu:
I think something may be touching, but I've never looked before so I'm not sure if it wasn't like that to begin with. I'm going to try taking a picture of it tonight when I get off work, but I don't suppose you could explain to me what the fingers are? I tried googling briefly but didn't find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diabolic:
IF you haven't fixed this, try a toothbrush with some rubbing alcohol on it. I had the same problem, and it solved my problem. I imaging some dirt was just shorting a connector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wdustin1:
I had this issue happen to me before. I decided to send it into Samsung for service. I thought it was hardware and I would be dome with it well it is now 3 months later and its doing the exact same thing again, so at this point I know it isn't software, ROM, kernel. I did all that troubleshooting the first time around.

Anybody else had this problem return after being repaired? Is it more than just the micro USB port? I am going to try the tooth brush thing when I get home though. I don't see any pins bent but I will look closer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wdustin1:
So I got a toothbrush and alcohol and will be testing that out tonite. I also bought some canned air. Anybody else chime in on what to try? I really don't wanna send it in AGAIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diabolic:
Just dip a qtip in the rubbing alcohol and dab it on the port or dip the toothbrush I'm the alcohol and then shake it out. You don't want to soak in the connector just enough to help remove any contaminants.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awag666:
Worked really good xD... At first didn't seem to work, but after charging it and disconnecting the charger the icon disappeared :D... That was a couple days ago and so far so good.

I have been using codecROM for the past one month and i felt it was Superb. but i'm a viber user so viber isn't working on codecROM 9.1 so i had to revert back to stock ICS ROM. i have seen few posts regarding dual boot in Siyah Kernel. what i wanted to do now is as follows:

1st Boot: Stock ICS 4.0.4

2nd Boot : Any other custom ROM

is this possible..??

Currently my phone is Fully rooted.

also suggest me any ROM in which apps like viber which use wifi for calling will work for sure.. :)

[Nexus 7 General] domotang:
I have had an 8gb N7 for about two weeks and only had very little screen lift. Loved it with the 4.1.2 os so much that I just bought a 32gb also and gave the 8gb to my wife.

The 32gb had huge screen lift and the bezel was bowed out on three left side enough to put a finger nail in between the glass and bezel. All else was good.

I decided to open it up and I verified that the two screws are missing. The 8gb however had the screws. So I transferred the screws from the 8gb to the 32gb. When installing on the 32gb I out pressure on the bezel to correct the outward bow. This FIXED the lifting glass on the 32gb! The thing is perfect now. The 8gb was not noticeably affected by the removal of the screws. I'll give hey long term report to see if the solution holds.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Strange but glad you found a workable solution.

I've gone through 3 16gb's and 1 32gb (4 total). 2 had screen lift and 2 did not.

My first original 16gb did not (release edition). All screws

My second replacement after I killed the first one, did. All screws. Washer Fix. Stolen.

My replacement had bad screen lift and 2 missing screws.

Swapped for 32gb. Missing screws and no screen lift.

You're not hard bricked if Odin can read your phone. Reboot your computer then reconnect and flash a stock rom to be safe.

SPH-L710MBBSPR again thanks for you responses..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, a few things I noticed....

1. You are using a very old version of Odin. I recommend only using 3.07 or 3.09.

2. The COM port box is yellow, which probably was trying to caution you about something.

3. You have a Sprint model S3. This is the T-Mobile S3 forum.

4. You have a Sprint S3, but were trying to flash old T999 firmware! This simply will not work, and if it were to flash, insta-brick!

What you need to do is start using the Sprint forums. Only flash items you find in those forums, and nothing else. While some of our roms might flash and boot on yours, they will never function very well. This is one of the things the asserts in an updater script are intended to protect against.

Finally, just a bit of posting advice. Please use proper punctuation. Small mistakes are ok, but posting with no punctuation at all just makes it difficult for people to read, and many will just close the thread and move to the next without bothering to help.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

Oops! Just realized the pic in the op wasn't yours! But still, theyre all good points you should check before flashing. Also make sure kies is uninstalled or disabled on your computer.

But most importantly, you need to be in the Sprint forums. We can help a bit here, but you need to ONLY use stuff from your devices forum. And a lot of it we simply may not be familiar with.

Good luck!
