[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
Hi there,

I've been a Note2 user since it first came out.

One thing that had been an ongoing annoyance is that there are no options to change the theme of EMAIL client - black background with white/blue/grey words on the email overview page. This default view is not very visible under day light use to be precise, i often have to cover my hand over the screen to make shadows so i can see it, and its not even a very bright day light.

Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this?

Any mods to make this better? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
if your device is rooted, and you are used to edit files with root explorer or other just add this line to other.xml in system/CSC

<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>TRUE</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>

T_Mobile S2 Bricked HELP!!!!!

ok so I flashed CWM recovery on TWRP recovery and now my phone ont boot. I booted into download mode and Im doing a factory restore though Odin but it has been like 20 minutes and still in download screen on phone and on Odin it stays on <ID:0/006> system.img.ext4 should I wait longer or restart phone and start over????? After an hour of waiting about an hour I restarted into download mode and now it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." any help ould be appreciated thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] purav17:
I did the same mistake but i cannot even get the phone in download mode. How were u able to get the phone in download mode? When i plug the device in the computer i get a usb device not recognized error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Yuoko5:
Not sure but try not to reset to factory but search for a odin flashable recovery (in development section is one) go to downloadmode and flash recovery through odin. Hope it helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mexicandroid:
I just closed and restated Odin and rebooted phone and it went straight to download mode, i guess i got lucky. Try to install the USB drivers again. That also helped recognize the phone. I tried installing Kies but no luck until I the USB drives by themselves

Yes that did the trick, I didn't try that because I thought the restore to factory

Tar image would automatically do it. When I thought about it I tried flashing the recovery image alone through Odin and it did it. All good now. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] purav17:
The problem is that my phone wont turn on, When i connect the phone to the computer i get USB device not recognized. I tried multiple computers and drivers....I have ordered a USB JIG so hopefully that should do the trick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Falco:
I have one question, why would anyone want to downgrade there open recovery script? Twrp is by far the best open recovery script with clockwork mod behind it. For you to try and downgrade your Rom to cwmr. Biggest mistake you could have made...

ROM: All-star ROM v7

Kernel: Lighting

I'm trying to make an app, message if you are willing to help!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mexicandroid:
Lol there both equally good for me, the reason why I was switching was because for some reason I cannot successfully flash the Real Dark Slim Gapps, every time I would flash it TWRP would restart and it started after updating to 2.4.4.0. That's the reason why I wanted to switch recovery. I even tried reformatting my internalSD card and even downloading the files again and no luck. I even tried it in older rooms that I would normally use the Skin Gapps on.

So I was wondering what you guys thought? I have wanted to work there for a while. I've been known as the go to phone guy in my circles and really like helping people and showing them all the amazing things that can be done with these phones. I have a job interview in the next week or two coming up and have really wanted this. Always been great with electronics, computers, and phones. Been hacking phones since the back in the day razor. There are things I want to accomplish within Sprint. Better support for our community, better tech support, better service overall. I have come from working hard labor construction jobs that I really don't belong in and have wanted a change for a long time. I moved from south Jersey to Knoxville Tennessee to get a fresh start and back on my feet, and away from all of the negatives that have held me back. I feel I am finally ready for this. So what do u guys think?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nivek64:
Good luck to you and hope that you get the job.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
Your resume was good enough to get you the interview so now you have to sale yourself and tell Sprint why they should hire you. After reading what you just wrote, I definitely think you should use that as your 'so tell me a little bit about yourself' speech, also called elevator talk. Keep it under 2 to 3 minutes and the rest of the interview should be some basic tech questions, which I'm pretty sure you're nail, just don't BS any questions you don't know the answer to. You got this, I think you'll kick that interview in the nuts! Good luck and let us know what happens.

Thanks, my friend that is really professional and business oriented and has been helping me with resume, and interview q&a getting me ready. I love this community and never liked how the big dogs treat us when we come into the store. I want too be one of the ones that helps us if our phone is rooted or we are one of the more advanced customers. I want to work to make all of us fellow androiders, phone modders, normal phone users and even iPhone users more welcome and enjoy their phone even more.

I'm actually going to my local sprint store tomorrow to inquire about a position they have available at a store about 25 mins away not ideal, but your resume sounds pretty close to mine, I'm in retail now selling dog food and i could care less about that, phones on the other hand i bet i could set records at my store. Usually when i walk in there i educate the employees lol. Good luck, maybe sprint will hire two great reps. Btw, are u going for a franchise or a corporate store?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ms79723:
You should be fine and you should get the job but things you need to remember:

If you're selling phones, you won't be selling phones to people like us. You'll be selling phones to extra regular people. So all of your knowledge on here is pretty much irrelevant. If someone wants to do something and you yourself know that they could easily do it rooted, if you tell them that, you may be messing them up. And most people don't want to have to do all of this extra work for simple features. So telling them they'd have to root or something like that will actually steer them away from android and if Sprint wants you to push Android, you're hurting yourself and your sales.

Also, how you go about fixing things will be pretty irrelevant. You can't root the devices and unroot so at the end of the day if something goes down you're still gonna have to go through those set up procedures they lay out...

So having all of this knowledge is great but you may end up hating it all in the end because you can't go in there and do what you want. You can't really say what you want because you'll be around a different audience. This site and all of your hacking experience will be irrelevant and will probably go over most people's heads. And your troubleshooting methods will be limited.

All in all, you may be overqualified. If you really want to work with phones, look into internships and dev work where you get to do what you want. Going into Sprint and their own system won't make you feel any better.

Edit: Had to fix spacing. For some reason the text field would go off screen so I had to enter in new lines so I could see it. Just went back myself in a different browser to fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Best wishes to OP, and very good points by ms (and many others)

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Talk about how you love phones and are great with them, but don't mention rooting and/or stuff related to root/s-off.

I worked for the largest private staffing company in the world and can offer a couple things or rehash what others have said but most important thing in to leave your prospects realizing the value goes both ways. They are hiribg you and you are potentially hiring them. Sell that confidence and you are golden.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Franchise. Yes, and selling phones is only to get my foot in the door. Tech would be next and down the line management. I have had good experiences with Sprint but it is the bad ones that always stick out. Those are what I wish to improve upon.

Swyped from my eVo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I've understood that for a long time now. We are not normal people here on xda, lol. Sometimes people just need to be shown how easily settings can be changed or what app they are looking for to suite their needs. The simpler people will need iPhones or even the dying flip type rugged phones for the construction industry. Normal people don't want to here about rooting. In fact I refuse to s-off/root others phones besides my own because they could seriously damage the OS, or it would turn out to be up to a 2 yr commitment maintaining that phone. Our modded eVos are in a whole different class that can't be touched unless it's relatively the same kind of modded phone. I also want to add their troubleshooting methods to my own. I know the tools we use but I want to know theirs as well. In personal life, people ask for such simple things like how to transfer music from the computer to their phone. Things that will bring them joy for yrs on a phone. A lot of people are still computer illiterate, but I'd rather change their thought process about phones than computers because these are truly the future. I practically only use my computer to play movies connected to my 50 inch. But a phone, well I've used that how everyone else uses a computer for yrs. Some of us on xda are light to moderate users that just want better battery to last through the day. I consider myself at the extreme of heavy user. Pretty much on it doing anything I want for as much time allows that I'm awake. One of those things is read, read, read on xda. Again I love this place, and you all show amazing support.

Wha kind of retailer is it? I know it's a franchise. But which one?

And congrats OP, good luck. I landed a job with Sprint in September and am the top dog at my store now. I love this job and I always try and right the wrongs of the world by actually being a good phone rep because not everyone is! It's really a great gig.

So what does a job like Sprint pay?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I have been working in the wireless industry for over 10 years now. I would be very cautious working in a franchise location. With a few rare exceptions you will be underpaid, or i have seen cases where checks/commissions are days or weeks late and you have no upward mobility. The only person that wins in the franchise world is the owner. If you really want a job/career in the wireless industry work for a carrier/manufacturer directly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I think it pays, $10 or $11 starting plus commission. The only other thing I know is a new store is opening up so advancement should be there. I don't intend to stay just selling phones. I'm from Jersey where everything is expensive and my friend has been showing me how things are cheaper here in Tennessee but you also make less as well. My friend also told me that his friend that manages the store I'd be at makes great money and has since he started there in sales. I should know more after I get past the initial interview.

10 or 11 plus commision is highly doubtful. Either commish or 8 to 9 an hr. I truly doubt its both and i guarantee its not 10-11 an hr. I see people saying about your resume.... But do you have sales experience. If you dont, youre gonna get league minimum. Dont seem too damn thirsty for a job too. They need you, dont let them think you need them or theyre gonna give you a **** offer. Although if you have nothin on your resume that act aint gonna work. Also, theres probably no benefits, possibly 401 but they probably either match nothing or bare minimum, and probably no tuition reimbursement to further your education.

Since youre not into manual labor I recommend hospitals for you. Sure you might not have the least bit of knowledge or interest in the medical field but youll get a full time position that makes pretty damn good money for what youd be doing, great benefits, retirement and theyll match probably 50% of what you put in, and tuition reimbursement that will pay for you to get into the IT field because hospitals need IT's too so theyll pay upwards of 5000 a year for you to go to school. This is for any job that you would take at a hospital, even food workers. The food workers at the hospital i work for make 10.50 an hour.... Thats pretty damn decent money for what they do PLUS all the benefits.

If Sprint is who youre passionate about then I say go for it. I just dont think its gonna be worth your time. Sorry for knocking this job. I see youre excited. I think youre gonna be let down and imo wasting the time you could be using to get ahead in a place with a real future and advancement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I

Na I know for a fact it's 10-11 plus commission,( commission just takes around 2 months 2 kick in), and second interview is Monday at 1. Just got to show the higher ups that I'm worth hiring. It is what I want, not that I want to just be selling phones. I want to move on up to tech than manager for sure. I've had plenty management experience with my last job, and should have no problem movin on up with this. I love phones, working on them, talking about them, helping people out, and getting people exactly want they want out of them.

I'm open to pretty much anything involving tech and computers, but Sprint and moving up within there is the real goal. Dream job being a programmer, for Google or something but I need schooling for that. Maybe someday. I'll see how everything goes. I'm not going to just settle for something cause it's money. I changed my whole life to better myself. This time I'm going for what I want. Not what everyone thinks I should be. My family that has been **** this whole time, and has done nothing but kick me down. Down in the gutter, when I was better and smarter than them every step of the way. They never understood anything I talked about or did, ever, I was always the dork who was made to seem the stupidest person in the room. **** that! And **** them! And **** Jersey for that matter too! Seriously you have no idea how much I've been kicked down because my family is full of drug addicts. This time I'm going after what I really want, where I truly belong. I want to better Sprint as much as I can. Yes there are things I don't like about Sprint and I'm going to do the best I can to improve the things I think need work on most.

That's great money man!! Wish I made that much! I was making 22.50 an hour plus overtime (I would turn between 50-60 hours a week regularly) as a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep certified automotive technician at a dealership. Around 50-60k a year. Now I'm getting crappy Disability pay since my car wreck. Took 6 months before I even got approved for Disability! Apparently some one else a few states away was getting Disability using my info!! That's crazy! Don't know how that was even possible since I've been employed at a dealership for many years and obviously use my own social security number and do my taxes yearly. Guess he's SOL now, serves him right! I'm just glad to still be alive though, as none of the surgeons thought I'd even live through my first night in the hospital. Then when I did come out of the coma they thought that I'd have permanent brain damage! My short term memory was about 1 minute long for the first few weeks. Couldn't even feed myself! That's all better now. So so glad they were all wrong! Anyway, I'm just rambling on so I'll stop now, lol. Was just gonna tell you congrats on that pay man!! That's awesome!

Any ideas would help.

how do you increase the max volume on a htc v phone
[General Questions and Answers] elegyh:
Just press volume up. If you want something louder try 1 of these methods:

- Increase gain of media file

- Use phone EQ (if available)

- Use software EQ (if available)

Finally I' ve added a General CWM Kernel Updater, you can replace any kernel.bin.md5 in the zip file( but make sure it with CWM, or you' ll lose 3rd party Recovery:p ).

Is this thread needed?

1. This method increases binary counter.

It still have its significance.

When backup rom with CWM and just wanna test other ROM without CWM kernel(like some Official firmware), and restore it with this method conveniently.

Just for test.

Basically, you traded one step of rooting your device and then changing kernel to increased binary counter. I don't care very much about my binary counter, but really I can't see any significant added value to flash kernel in such fashion.
