I recently visited one local store and hear few lines of song in Beats headset..Cant remember the model however I feel my skullcandy in better than that.
[HTC Desire X] Gnaver:
Exactly tried beat solo hd with desire and the sound was way worse than in Sony (more than 100 bucks difference). Well asci thought, the price for beats headphones is only for the brand and look not the the sound...

Quite recently it's becoming more and more noticeable on white backgrounds that my nexus is growing on 'yellow spots'.

Has anyone had this issue? Did a replacement resolve it?

Thanks

Anyone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenji7:
If you search, there's plenty of thread about this yellow screen and yellow spot, they are both different problem. I have a yellow spot when the phone warms up, my wife phone have a yellow tint screen while my is a cool white screen. Nothing much you can do about the yellow spot if you have it, people will say it will go away when the glue dry, but that's just bull****. deal with it or rma to see if you get a better phone.
[Surround General] gogo7901:
Hi to all,

I have strange problem with my HTC surround.

I unlocked it and install 7.5 ROM ... strange thing is that I just use soft SPL ( just for installing )

and now I have working ROM and everything is work fine ( in OS )

but when I go to boot loader ( three colors ) I have see only 1 row .. that is no SPL data and no serial or USB communication,

so I can't change ROM or do anything else !

Please, help me to fo find out what may cause the problem

Regards

Has anyone tried putting Indian simcards like bsnl,air tel,Vodafone,air cell etc on the droid RAZR maxx HD?. If so kindly share your experience with it. Are they working?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
I know it's not India but I was visiting Indonesia last week and a pre-paid sim card I picked up worked great in my Razr HD Maxx. All you need to do it pop it in and set the APN settings correctly and the service should start right up. Good luck! :)

droid razr maxx hd works in india gsm fine

yes, it will work..I had bought droid razr maxx hd from amazon last year after seeing that it supports global gsm and cdma...I did not activated the device there with the preloaded verizon sim there...now i came in india this feb and first went to vodafone store...i showed that mobile and asked to check with any voda micro sim ...they gave me a test sim and set the voda APN in maxx hd device and I saw that 3g is running fine..google etc site opened fastly...then I tried to call from that sample sim but failed, they told it was only a data activated sim...so i thought my kolkata voda fone number shd work and exchange my normal sim( vodafone kolkata) with the micro sim keeping number same..then I inserted in the phone..but I saw i can not make voice call...within 0 second it ends..but data works fine...so i was very upset, bought a no contract mobile paying huge dollar...after coming to home I tried again but same result...but again I tried this march and surprisingly saw that i am able to call..i called vodafone customer care, called few friends for testing..every thing looks fine..got sms...so quickly I activated 3g services in the device...now my droid razr maxx hd works fine as like normal...i dont know what happened initially, but now works full with vodafone sim...cheers....

[HTC One X] JK9000:
I've upgraded hboot on my One X (Cid HTC__016) using this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924003

to hboot 1.39.

Thereafter proceeded to run the following RUU found at http://www.htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe

Phone is put into fastboot USB mode before running the RUU, using onscreen options on phone.

While the RUU runs, no progress bars show on phone, only silver HTC logo.

Update fails with Error 155, Unknown error.

Any help or advice will be much appreciated!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The ruu you are trying to flash is for the 1.36 hboot and you have the 1.39 so you are trying to downgrade it but that is not possible !

You need to find the same ruu but it has to end with .31

Try this one

http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe

And you have to lock the bootloader to before running the ruu ! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] gee2012:
Error 155 indicates you flashed the wrong RUU for your phone afaik. Try to reflash the original Hboot and then flash the appropriate RUU for your region/country.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
He can't flash any other hboot !!! He's on the latest one and downgrade is not possible .... we need s-off for that mate !
[HTC One X] gee2012:
Thanks mate, my bad :o Will not happen again ;)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No problem,this way we all learn something ;)
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Mail me with your problem. I've had the same problem, and I solved it. When I get home (in about 6 hours) I'll help you out. I had to reflash an old RUU to get all the OTAs to go JB and I managed to do it, after hours of messing around.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The solution is in the second post ! Why do people don't read ! :cool:
[HTC One X] noodlez04:
Well, not all HTC CID's have the latest RUU's (like mine didn't) so I found a way to flash an RUU with an older hboot.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
But we are not talking about your cid, we are talking about his cid and his problem and he has an official ruu available he just had to pull the latest .... lets not make it difficult :D

[HTC Droid DNA] Djmk4:
Hello guys still waiting my Droid DNA here in Greece Europe...Customs Clearance really play with my nerves...so i want you to know that when i will get the phone...i will dissaembly it....The LEDs are on the small bottom bored which is with the speaker. I need to solder them off (there is two of them) and then solder red leds back on. Oh and the leds are not from the lcd screen, they are seperate. i know how to solder and that's the only way to change the leds....i have 2 questions though and if you can answer i will be glad...i will make a guide when i will do it....the 2 questions are:

1)If i put multicolor LEDS is there any app to control them so i can put what colour i want any time?

2)if i dissaembly the phone and then re-assembly it the construction will be still solid..or for example the back cover will be cracky etc?
[HTC Droid DNA] droidxrooting:
Yes, there are apps in the market currently to play with leds. If you search you should be able to find it.
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
1), no you can only change the base color. you cannot add multicolored LEDs, and expect to control them with no control hardware.

2) there is a very good chance the back will creak, it IS a PITA to get it back to perfect. but doable.

3) (my additions) if you are not using a fine tip solder station, OR hot air, then good luck not destroying what you are soldering. and in general, solder paste is the only way to go with SMC. you can do it with wire, but the chances of overheat, or flux burning away is VERY high. i've already soldered a few things on this phone, I will tell you this is by far the cheapest PCB i've touched. pads peel off, etc.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
SMD soldering is always a drag, make sure you have a good quality iron up for the job. Also make sure to use flux, rose alloy, and a nice new tip. It is also crucial to use an iron which can be grounded.

To be perfectly honest you should opt for adding a sheet of transparent vinyl film, or something similar, between the LED's and the glass.

Here are some links which might help:

[HACKS] OG Droid gets blue capacitive buttons, charing LED swap, and sound reactive LED!

DIY : Custom Colored Capacitive Buttons
[HTC Droid DNA] l7777:
This is false. The apps deal with notification and other LEDs which are already multicolor and have a supporting hardware and software interface, the apps just use the existing interfaces. What the OP wants to do is impossible as there is no interface to control the hardware aside from off and on. Additionally multicolor LEDs are a single physical thing but actually have multiple LEDs in the physical package. Each individual color needs its own power source which would also not work with the OP's project. If he attached the multicolored LED he'd likely have all the colors lit at once all the time.

@OP, use a single color and be careful. Soldering SMDs manually is always a challenge but can be done if you have a steady enough hand.

[Nexus 7 General] zafu:
Got my 32G+HPSA Nexus7 yesterday and boy was I disappointed: it feels

like a cheap piece of plastic compared to my Galaxy Tab 7.7.

Problems:

- thicker than my 1-year old gtab 7.7

- huge bezel, small screen: lots of wasted real-estate, an 8" screen

could easily have been fitted in that case

- no forward-facing camera

- no phone function (I knew that, but still, how much would it cost to

add it, and really convenient when travelling to put a 'local' SIM)

- bad screen, washed out colors, nowhere near the crispness and quality

of a Gtab 7.7

I will keep it though for my kids, but it's a let down.

If you don't like it then return it. Simple as that.

[Nexus 7 General] RootTheMachine:
If they put an 8" display on it, it wouldn't be a 7 inch tablet... that's kinda the point isn't it? Also the N7 has a smaller screen with greater dpi, so there's no way it's not as crisp or crisper.

And I'll say it again, if you put anything else next to Super Amoled, you are going to complain about it. It's a fact of life.
[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
I'm willing to bet that Asus & Google are beyond the drawing board stages of planning for the next launch of Nexus 7 - Gen II or the "7X" or whatever - with enhanced features ...

As for looks & feels, just waiting for Louis Vuitton, Coach or Burberry to release their designer cover for the Nexus series including the N7 - slip yours into one and "pimp" it.

Meanwhile, my el cheapo N7 is snuggly inside an eForcity rotating cover b/c not feeling like paying local superstore $39.99 USD for a case, yet all of them made in China - just like the rest of those products sold by the "i" OS - ever heard of Foxconn in Shenzhen - it's not the skin that matter, rather what's beneath the fancy shell. PQ on this over Skype is amazingly clear enough - and, over "Google Talk" for the matter - it's all subjective, isn't it as far as "look & feel" go, just saying ...

[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
And how much did you pay for that GTab 7.7?

****in yodel.
[Nexus 7 General] kaspar737:
A lot of BS. Of course, some things are better on it but guess what. I checked its price and it still costs 350 for Wi-Fi only version. Sorry, but that's a little too much for me to pay for a tab with outdated SoC, stuck on ICS forever and no fully bug free custom ROM because of lack of Exynos support. If it would have been 150 I might have thougt about it.

Install Terminal emulator

Put the recovery.img in external storage

Open terminal emulator and type following

su
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21

If recovery doesn't work and gives you a black screen then you can revert back to stock recovery by replacing recovery.img with stock one and sending in same commands

As I said in disclaimer this is only for advanced users. Soft bricking is nothing new in development, its normal when you are testing something.
