[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
It's funny because CWM seems to work well on the Acer tablets, and TWRP is sketchy, and on my TF300, CWM is sketch and TWRP is perfect

Its a strange world out there......................
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bruces2:
Well, I wiped and started over...and was able to flash both v1.3 and aroma together....no problems this time. And Rom is running OK...

Used TWRP 2.5.0, easier than cwm..this is now my daily rom....

OK, whats next???
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SGH-i200:
I flashed ROM and Aroma with twrp 2.2.0+ without any problem.

Thanks for that great ROM! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
Recently my Nexus 4 got scuffed but I'm not sure how. Should I return the phone as it also rattles with minimal shaking and was made in January despite it being bought just around 4 days ago. This is the first phone I've scratched and I am horrified. It wasn't even me who did it, my mother dropped it while I was showing her it but no damage occured :(. The scuff then happened later for no apparent reason.

I love the phone and hate to lie and send the phone back but I could say it was also down to the rattling I was returning it?

What should I do?

Get it phone case and kick your brother's behind. LOL. No seriously, get a case or tell your brother to get you a case.

The rattle you hear I hear it on mine as well. I feel like a little baby. Goo goo ga ga
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
The rattle is normal, its the camera auto focus (or the sim tray). Google wont accept a damaged phone unless you really do the dirty on them and say it came like that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Seems like everyone with OCD owns this phone.

We have guys shaking phones like a etch a sketch, pressing against the back glass trying to hear cracking sounds, looking at the phone from awkward angles just to see if the the glass is separating from the rubber bezel and now we have a guy ready to commit a crime cause his phone has a scratch.

SMDH
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
But I'm not entirely sure how it scratched so easily. I'm mythed how it got there. I've never scratched anything before. Even without Gorilla Glass.

I'm also convinced it could've been the bumper. It rattles even when moving the phone and not shaking it. The scratch has just made me lean towards a replacement more.

Will Google accept a scratched phone with a factory defect?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
Yes they would accept it back with a factory defect but they could just repair the defect and send it back to you still scratched as that is not covered
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
as someone said before, the rattling is normal. every n4 rattles. a scratch won't hurt you and seeing how you caused it i don't think you should send it in. you got this thing for 299 $ which is a steal, they sold 10 pieces of it worldwide because they can't rival samsungs broadway antics - why putting even more weight on their shoulders.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
this is why I got a case as soon my Nexus 4 arrived. Lmao! OP is gonna lie for it. Sure why not. Blame the phone companies for making the phone so easily breakable or maybe its the nature fault for the way it works.

Man threads like these why I enjoy coming to xda. It's full of wins!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I only bought it around 3/4 days ago. I could request a replacement. There is no way a phone should've scuffed/scratched that easily. I like the phone and don't want to live with scratches. I've seen people return scratched Nexus 4s to shops and they've accepted them. No I'm not going to lie. It's just that the scratch has made me lean towards an RMA.

Never have I scratched a phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Didn't you just say in the original post your momma dropped it? So do phones just magically get scuffed?

So how will you go about this RMA? Do they take phones back cause they got scuffed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
Yes she did but the scuff appeared a couple of days after. I still don't know what caused it. I would live with the scratch if it was my fault and was small but I did nothing to scuff/scrape the phone. The scrape is along the right convex edge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
You ever cut yourself and it bleeds a few seconds after?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
Trust me the scuff wasn't there. I wasn't happy and inspected the phone in all kinds of light. I also cleaned it plenty of times.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
I have just read two other threads today... one from someone who RMA'd a phone with shattered back glass that stopped working, but neglected to mention the broken glass. Another from someone who mistakenly connected a 12v car battery directly to the charging port and fried the charging circuit (among other things) and neglected to tell Google about that as well. I won't cite countless other post I have read from folks exercising similar behavior.

I almost feel sorry for Google... but mainly feel sorry for people who still play by the rules and take responsibility for their own actions as they will most likely pay for the unethical behavior of others via higher pricing and more hoops to jump through to get legitimate issues taken care of in the future.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
I agree. I'm sure Google wouldn't take a phone back only because its scuffed. I'm sure the original poster will create some fake reason why he's returning the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I won't. I hate liars as much as everyone else. Personally, I was expecting my mother to pay for it (which didn't go down well :D)

The volume buttons aren't easy to press and the phone's sim tray (not the lense) rattles with normal use. Another problem is a line on the top left edge on the phone (looks like a plastic mold mark). I do actually have plenty of reason to replace the phone. It's just the scratch has made me lean to a replacement more. Not only that, I received the phone 4/5 days ago and it was made early February; and without plastic nubs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Do what you gotta do, whatever makes you sleep better at night. I'm not sure how Google handles returns but they could easily consider that as wear and tear deny an RMA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
Personally, I'm not going to mention the scratches and request a replacement because of the reasons listed above (power button, plastic mould lines etc.).

Then I'll ship my phone back when I receive a replacement.

Also, I read the car battery thread. I'd never do that :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
It sounds to me like you're outright looking for excuses to RMA. I'm with most of the posters in the thread: I say live with it. Just today I dropped my 2 week old N4 (thankfully from my lap to the ground with carpet) for the first time and panicked. I'm like you, I take excellent care of my phones and never get scratches or anything so I see where you're coming from. That said, if that drop would have produced a crack or rattle (thankfully it didn't) then I would live with it. Google shouldn't have to fit the bill for my mistake. Yeah, you don't know how that scratch got there, but still. It happened while in your possession for a few days. Who do you think is more responsible for repair? Google or you?

I'm sure you've already made up your mind about what you're going to do, but I still wanted to throw my two cents out there.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I'm not expecting anyone to pay for my mistakes. The phone should be RMAd/replaced. Yes I admit it's making me want to replace it more but it still shouldn't have come like that.

Thanks for your opinion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1111:
I hope Google doesn't fix anything for you. You sound like a whiny kid. You're just making excuses to want to send it back. The phone is fragile compared to other phones and it was dropped without a case...

You never scratched a phone ever? wow that sounds so believable...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
No I haven't ever scratched a phone. Not deep enough for it to be always visible to the human eye anyway. Also, some budget phones didn't even have Gorilla Glass.

Also, it had the bumper on the phone at the time of the fall.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
Jesus Christ. RMA yourself while you're at it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
No, the phone should NOT be RMA'd. It was dropped and damaged. Live with it or buy another one and then sell yours as used and dropped.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
People like you screw the rest of the honest folks out of a legit RMA for a new device. Tbh, the fact that you had to post this on XDA just proves that you felt you needed others to justify your RMA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoMaMa7467:
Agreed
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
It's a scratch.

Even more reason to LIVE WITH IT.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Why is this topic still being talked about?

Just use it as it is. It's a scratch. It's not the the end of the world. The phone still works and all. You should have gotten a case for it for accidents like such. Protect your investment. Just live with it. if you don't have a case for a phone, scratches and dents will bestow upon it. I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk right now but some things people complain about are just plain stupid.

If you don't wear a coat during the winter you're going to get sick, don't complain to your mother about it. It was bound to happen.

Actually its the same program if you bothered to even look up your facts instead of just parroting what you heard on Faux News. You don't even get a free phone with it, it pay's your phone bill if you qualify and was modified to cover bare bones basic cell phone plans under George W. Bush.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I was using a case.

Also, I can't see Google not replacing the phone if I don't lie and don't mention the scratches. It's wear and tear (but it shouldn't have happened).

Also, I noticed a line on the back of the phone when I unpackaged it. Looks like a mould mark as it's a streak?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Then that's the time you send it back, not after you scratched it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
Can someone confirm whether or not they've returned a phone with minor scratches (only around 1mm in length, and there's around 4/5 along the right bezel near the screen)?

It's pointless paying for it to be repaired when I have a very bad rattling (like that since day 1) and poor volume button feedback.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I will call them later.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
so ****ing true. if you look for defects, you will find one on ANY device. they arent called defects though, its called being too damn picky to appreciate anything nice. how people have rma'd their brand new car 8 times for tire pressure that is 1/2 psi difference on all corners, or wiper blades that suck after a week. yeah yeah you cant exactly rma a car, but my point still stands. i guess the real truth is that us and the handful of people who see how stupid this is, will never get the rma addicts to stop.

I would like a picture of the scratch. Can you take a picture of it and post it here?

Also, what information do Google ask for when I request a replacement, just so I have it ready.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
I'm receiving my replacement device soon. Scratches don't matter, it's normal wear and tear.
[HTC One X] r0mka:
Hello guys. I'm really confused because i can't decide between three smartphones so i thought maybe you could help me. I will point out what i want from a phone, what are my theoretical knowledge about all the "competitors" so here it goes:

I am choosing between... Yes you guessed it - Galaxy S3, HTC One X and LG Optimus 4X HD. Now what do I need - a solid phone, good battery life (i do travel by bus for 4 hours occasionally so i need it to hold that time while watching a movie, playing a game or at least listening for music for all the time. Also i use a lot of web browsing, mobile data or wifi connectivity) and, well.. best performance.. you know for trying out some big games as they come out just of curiosity and a decent camera (least noisy). So what bothers me about each of them:

Samsung Galaxy S3 - build quality is the first thing that bothers me. I want to use a phone normally, not putting it into plastic bag for it's safety. Secondly - I don't like the design. To me - it is awful, but it's just my personal opinion so don't try to change it. Third - the price. What i like about it is battery, support from devs and pure power.

HTC One X - i don't like that it can not be opened to change the battery or expand with micro sd if i ever need that. Well the other thing bothering me - is that battery that week? Yeah i know it's only 1800 mAh, but maybe HTC made some extreme optimization and it can last normally? The battery is the issue, if it had bigger battery i would grab it without any doubts. What i like is build quality, camera, the looks of it, the price, the screen well basically everything except battery, and the dev support is decent enough for me.

LG optimus 4X HD - that one is a new competitor so i don't have enough info about it but for the moment it's a winner, because i THINK battery is decent enough (well at least no complaints), the design is good for me, camera is decent enough, price is good but the dev support is the weakness.. And well LG does not give me confidence in it, i am extremely doubtful about it.

Now i own a Nokia Lumia 900. It's a good phone but it's just too small for me now, but i like it's build quality and battery life so you can compare to it, it would help me.

I am posting it to HTC One X forum because i hope that you guys can tell me that battery lasts decent enough. Sorry for a long post and thank you for your help in an advance!
[HTC One X] Guich:
I think that you need is the Galaxy S3 or One X.

S3 is good for battery and sd if you need.

With One X you can make 4-5 hours of screen on with modding, with stock phone 3-3.30...
[HTC One X] DroidIt!:
No matter which of the phone's you get, they are all hard on the battery if you play games. If I just play music on my phone (like when mowing the lawn, yardwork, etc) think I could play music for at least 7 hours or more. If you want to play games I would get a travel charger.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

BTW, that's on a HOX (7-8 hrs music)
[HTC One X] r0mka:
Thank you for advises. Well my top priority is not games, it's just for a couple of minutes when i have nothing to do. My top priority is surfing web (which is a battery drainer if using mobile data) and second priority is watching a video, which i know is draining battery fast too. And yes i do understand that quad core 4.7' smartphone will not last a week, i'm looking for the most optimum device concidering web, texting, emails, videos and some little games to spend time on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
whats the best way to set up SD card?

i have 512Mb EXT4 Partition do i need SWAP as well ?

seen a lot of people using 1GB with different SWAP sizes but not 100% sure

EuroSkank Nightly - CM7.2
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
best way to partition is with gparted or 4ext recovery. 512MB is quite small, i'd recommend larger (up to 2GB max) if you plan on having more apps, saves you re-partitioning later

generally you don't need swap, it's useless, doesn't extend the RAM unless the rom is programmed to do so afaik. don't use swap unless the rom explicitly says so, most don't

a lot of people use swap without knowing what it even is...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
1g v/s 2gb ext partition: does it in any way affect performance or it's the same?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
Maximum of 1.5gb ext4 partition is always recommended. Best is to stick with 1gb.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
the actual size shouldn't affect performance, just the number of apps you can install, and depends what you use the partition for (app apks, dalvik cache and / or data)

just pick a size which you think is best according to how many apps you think you'll need. because that's hard to predict, and after rooting allows more space for apps, so go larger to be safer and avoid re-partitioning later. this sacrifices FAT32 space, so may need to be managed depending on the total size of the card. personally i find 1gb ext4 not enough, i use ~1.5GB. 2GB should be more than sufficient for most (some say it won't work, but there are plenty of users running 2GB just fine)
[HTC One X] bolonyboy:
my htc one x screen and digitizer are smashed and i need to reset the phone before i send it off for repair as the phone was not insured at the time of the accident

Is it possible to do this?

the phone is not rooted
[HTC One X] csec:
Yes.

Hold down power button and volume down for about 20 seconds.

You're in bootloader now. To perform factory reset, press vol down 2 times then press power button.

Make sure that your phone is charged for the process to be completed without any problems.
[HTC Wildfire S] alemale:
So i was trying to root my phone and now i won't start, can't even go to bootloader menu or so. when i'm pressing the power up button its just flashes and then shuts down. It loops so frequently that even my pc won't recognize it. What i did to the phone is this:

//androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/502772-guide-how-update-htc-wildfire-s-marvel-a510e-gsm-software-version-2-3-5-a.html

i tried to flash a new 2.3.5 to it but now it wont do anything. :eek:

Is there any ways to fix this or should i just send this to graveyard :good:
[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
a bit more info plz

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help :)

Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?

Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.

As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue :)
[HTC Wildfire S] alemale:
At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.

when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.

I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?

It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.

Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.:confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.

Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.

Sorry Dude, I can't help much either :( I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you :)

Have you unlocked your Boot-Loader from HTC Dev? Also, you need to install a recovery tool in order to boot into recovery. If you have done only the steps mentioned in the

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] alemale:
I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless :D. now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.
[HTC Wildfire S] Oum:
Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.

Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.

In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.

After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.

Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:

So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you :D

Not sure if you're still having a problem here, but I resolved this issue by using another computer that had Windows 7, not Windows 8. Once I plugged the phone into my Windows 7 computer I didn't even need the driver as it automatically knew what it was.
