thanks to both,,,i downloaded the OTA with a PC conected to the internet everyday, here at home i use a modem and a telephone conection(really slow, like 2kb/s). ive found that i have a problem with the htc sync, the PC recognize the phone but the software(htc sync) dont....adb shows me that the device is conected...i cant acces the PC with the good conection to download the RUU(wich is way bigger.like 585mb)...i dont care about root and i dont like customs rom(sorry to the good dev here but my experience isnt very good), as far as i know the 2.20 OTA has some serious improvements in almost every department.

it most be painfull to read this, i am really sorry but my english is not very good...

P.S: i downloaded the OTA thought a post here, this is not my first android smartphone

If it is a windows operating system, turn windows update to automatic and let it install the HTC sync drivers for you. May take a while but it should do it.

So it sounds like the phone is fully stock?

You have the OTA.zip, or something else? A link to what you downloaded would be helpful.

If you have the OTA.zip, I don't think you can do what you want. I'm not sure, but the following is the only way I know of to install the OTA.zip, and this method requires root:

I just purchased my Nexus 7 about an hour ago. I tried turning it on out of the box no luck. I decided to plug it into the wall to see if it would charge. The screen turns on, but turns on with white bars flashing across the screen. There is no battery charging indicator but the back light is on. I just got this please help. I need this for class tomorrow.

EDIT: I am trying a different charger right now. If I don't get any response tonight I will just try and let it charge all night, then take it back.

I want to be able to plug my GS3's USB port into a wire, or maybe do this wirelessly, and then see Android screen on a large monitor and use a mouse and keyboard to intract with the display on the large screen.

I am baffled at the idea that this is not possible... so I must be missing something?

I have a little netbook that I use in this way, and the GS3 is a much more powerful device (it can play videos that the netbook cannot manage).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bkaltec:
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. HDMI MHL adapter.

But why? They make a pc for that.

Gs3 is not very powerful and you won't have good resolution. Productivity will be minimal.

If you want a mobile PC grab a windows 8 tablet like the surface pro.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Do you want a desktop or a mobile device?

You could buy a transformer type tablet or build a desktop for pretty cheap.

If you want this to be mobile, that's a lot of crap to carry around... How would you even power the screen? Seems like those people who bring desktops to coffee shops.

If you want a desktop, you can come build or buy one that's much more powerful for not all that much more than the cost of hooking your phone up - and then you don't have to worry about battery life draining and overheating.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] synpax:
You guys don't quiet get it. I have a powerful desktop replacement and a netbook.

But I like the idea of having all this in my pocket and just plugging into a workstation at home.

And a Microsoft Surface? EEWWwwwww.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
If you want to be able to just plug it into yet another set of hardware at home... just go buy the stuff and plug it in.

Bluetooth is still a better deal than wired keyboard/mouse - but you still have the battery drain issue, which is why this is not a practical idea - especially since we're talking about an S3. It should be able to accept hardware input through the micro usb, but it's not really designed for that - and you'd have to get adapters and hub and why have all that crap taking up space if you already have a home system ? I wonder what would happen if you had three pieces of hardware trying to use the same micro-usb input, too (obviously, hubs work, but they have to share - and the monitor is going to want a lot of the available transfer capacity for itself) - makes more sense to just use it for HDMI to the monitor and use bluetooth for the peripherals.

If you had a phone that could run off AC only, it might fare better - since there'd be no battery constantly charging and draining and heating everything up, but the S3 won't do that.

Cool idea in theory ? Yeah. It would be great. But in practice, not so much. It would be better if the S3 could run from AC only - heck, it'd be almost a good idea. But since it can't and it lacks great cooling (since it's a compact, air-cooled phone), you're just going to be exposing the phone to high operating temperatures for extended periods of time which isn't exactly great for it.

I saw these griffin survivor cases on eBay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-M...3?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item3f21ddd0cb, but if you go on Griffin's website, all they have are 2 colors: http://store.griffintechnology.com/smartphone/survivor-with-belt-clip-for-samsung-galaxy-siii.

Friends, Like other users I am was also not happy with Xperia battery and ICS Stock Rom performance. I installed many custom ROMs many of them were very good in the beginning and then I got facing problems. I really appreciate the work done by Devs for My Xperia sola. But one day I decided to move to stock rom so I relocked my boot loader and installed ICS stock rom Indian version. After installing it i got an update that I think was for facebook integration in Xperia sola or something like that. In the beginning Performance was not good but day by day its performance is going good unlike other custom roms. Battery performance is also very good under normal use. I am not a heavy user.

So In the end "Have I become used to it or Really performance has increased :rolleyes:"

A friend Once told me "Manufacturer knows best".

Hello, Im tired of connecting the phone to my laptop everytime im going to flash a new rom, because i have the new hboot so i have to flash the image thru fastboot first than flash rom. So i found this app on the market is called FLASH IMAGE GUI, theres no free version for this its around 3 bucks to buy. What this does is you can flash any kernel (image) from the phone instead of doing it thru fastboot. You might need to download a file manager like " astro file manager " for example, than look for the room on your phone open it with astro and find the boot image file. Once you do find it copy and create a new folder so you wont get confused, for example if you have joker rom copy the boot image and create a folder called something like "joker boot image" it will be easier to find once you lauch FLASH IMAGE GUI app. Launch flash image gui app and browse for the image, once find it open it and the app will give you a CAUTION warning, read it and after that click yes if you want to continue.Than click on the "flash image" button once you do it is going to give you another message saying that you will need to reboot the phone otherwise the android UI will be unstable, is going to give you three options. Click on the option to boot into recovery , once you are in recovery do the same steps as usual when install a rom and install the rom for the image that you flashed thru the FLASH IMAGE GUI APP. After that reboot and enjoy!! preety simple. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ONLY HAVE TRIED THIS GOING FROM CM10/AOKP TO A SENSE ROM, I HAVENT TRIED GOING FROM A SENSE TO ANOTHER SENSE ROM SINCE CM10/AOKP ARE ROOTED WITH THE OPTION TO GO INTO RECOVERY MODE.

My friend keeps telling me to get a Motorola X, but if that comes out May of this year, will there be something more "worth it" come March of next year? Will the Motorola X even get a VZW flavor?

Got a bricked MINI from a friend that was not booting/recovery/download mode.

It was ressurected using JTAG RIFFBOX 'ressurect' button.

Now it keeps bootlooping with screen blinking when i power it on.

Download mode works but stock recovery wont.

Cant complete both ODIN flashing processes from this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255305. ODIN gets stuck at 'Port signal closed, waiting device reboot', cause when it reboots device gets bootloop with screen blinking.

Any more methods i should try?

So I rooted my phone with oden, the next day I see my phone is promting me to download an OTA update to "fix vulnerabilities" so i download it. ( I know, I know, I really wasn't using my head...) so the phone resets and I get a warning saying "this phone has unauthorized software installed, please bring to the nearest verizon store for assistance."

so I tried holding volume up, home and power to get to the bootloader.... and nothing...

what can i do? do I have to wait this out, or am I going to have to get a new phone? :(

Thank you for the heads up, but what they are saying in that thread is above my skill level right now... It would be awesome if one of you guys could break it down for me, but it seems that they're saying in the thread that there is no proper solution yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
So is your phone fixed? If not you don't need the pit and baseline, that's to unlock. You need to file the thread I linked you to. Droidstyle guide is very easy to follow. Just make sure when you download your file you get the "alternate restore"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
Ok you'll need to download two separate files. This one is the stock Verizon rom: http://d-h.st/waO that imnuts posted. DL that and put it in the PDA section in Odin then hit start and let the rom flash. Once that's done download the PIT file here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z and put this file in the top section that says PIT and his start and allow Odin to run. After you flash both you should be back to stock with a working phone. Btw you get to download mode by holding vol down + home and power at the same time and once once you get to the screen warning you about a custom rom press vol up. If you need more help let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
No he doesn't it will fail at sboot like I said. Also you flash the pit and stock at the same time not in two separate flashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
I did it separately and it worked just fine.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

And you said the PIT file is for the unlock and it's not...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Okay well using separately may work but you should do it at the same time. Also you're right the pit isn't for unlocking. I haven't used the new method all I just knew the baseline was used unlocking and linked the pit in.

Now that I've wasted time explaining that it still doesn't change the fact that flashing the dock image will fail at sboot. He still needs to follow the directions I told him in the very beginning.I'm also more done here because he won't listen or had and won't tell anyone and people keep telling him wrong and then giving attitude to me trying to help him. As a matter of fact this entire user base is full of a bunch of trolls and really getting irritating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
instead of posting incorrect directions, why not just post a link to the guide stickied in the dev section that has the correct instructions??...not trying to bash you, just sayin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Taken straight from that thread just below the picture, please revisit that paragraph......

Here's the bottom line up-front

Samsung has inserted code to blacklist our baseline and mitigate our exploits in the bootloader patch they began pushing out last night. You will need to flash the updated bootloader baseline and stock pit in order to restore your device to operational status. The How-To Unlock your Bootloader thread is invalid at this time.

work and still shows different resolution! What Can I Do?

Google is bloated and really doesn't help. I looked around the forum and there doesn't seem to be any similar issues but I found the solution. the theme I was using came from my old Evo 3D.
