How would you do that from TWRP? I have format sd card, but that'll wipe all my backups etc.

EDIT: Also, when you flash a ROM, doesn't it automatically wipe all the partitions before it installs? Also, someone mentioned alternative bootloader? Is that necessary, what alternatives are there?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Jonathan2677:
Yeah I flashed a 4.2.2 Rom and of course it went smooth but I lost my data backups oh well live and learn
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] xile6:
wonder how they will fix all this for an official update.

unless they just going to leave us on 4.1.2
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
Did you read the instructions? Step 1:

Flashing a ROM doesnt necessarily automatically wipe partitions, and the ones that do dont touch your personal data. An alternative to TWRP would be clockwork mod recovery.

Did you read the instructions? Step 1 says to back up ALL your data onto a PC because the file structure is different on 4.2.2 that 4.1.2.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] shadowmike:
I never deleted my ad contents when I switched to 4.2.2 they just get "moved" just "move" everything back and your good to go .. I would hate to backup 20 gigs worth of music and pics just for a Rom
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I expect that the official update will erase the entire phone, but I could be wrong.

Somehow I can still see the border of font is jaggies for example white text on dark background in xda app or keyboard. I can see red and green pixel at the border of text..

It is not that sharp.

Do you guys can see it also?

I think full hd pentile is still not enough for 5inch screen to fully unsee the pixels, maybe it should be in 4.5 inch.

When the phone starts up an the Samsung logo appears, I can also see some jagged curves near the alphabet "S". But with normal distance, it is not possible.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James.Miller:
The pixel arrangement does cause the odd artifact to appear on fonts, yes. I sometimes see green halos on the top edges of white fonts on black if i really want to look for it.

There is also a very clear row of red sub pixels at the bottom of the display. if this is what the OP means by 'the boarder' then yep its there and nope he's not just 'seeing things'. Id post an image from my SLR which shows it very clearly but i need 10 posts to link to external websites:rolleyes: lol.

Anyway, it's there and real. But its so small that you can't see it really unless you are looking for it. So my advice to the OP is just dont worry about it :) And my advice to everybody else is.....get your eyes tested :p :laugh:

I have read them all before.

I cannot see pixels inside the text.

Still, the border of the text is not solid color, you can see green and red pixels aroud the edges of text especially white text in dark background (try keyboard). The pentile arrangement still matters even it is now diamond.

you dont need to be able to pick out individual sub pixels in order to see the light they are emitting. I guess it's just more apparent to some people than others.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megagodx:
I don't think I have any special kind of vision, yet I can still spot the small pixels along certain icons and colors.

Initially, this was harder, coming from a bad PenTile 720p S III display, but after awhile of adjusting my eyesight and knowing what to look for, my sight kind of adapted to seeing the pixels more easily and from slightly further away, too. I don't think pixelation is avoidable for everyone, unless it exceeds a certain threshold that's higher than the current 441 standard. Nevertheless, these 1080p displays bring tremendous sharpness enhancements to these 4.7-5 inch screens over 720p

tried reset, same. tried 32meg SD card out of wifes Nokia: sees that fine. cant try kingston SD in Nokia cos its a different physical size :cry:

Any ideas? or can you reformat these SD cards in the xda?

Thanks

if pocket mechanics cant formet it because it cant see the card then

...

Put the card to a card-reader/writer(on a PC) and try to check it for errors(Scandisk/Chkdsk). If it doesn't help,try to format the card with standard FAT32 filesystem... My experience is,that the filesystem can be injured the same way as a floppy when you remove it(cut-off data transfer) before is any file not closed for write yet. I loosed once all my important data from SD. The /Storage is the most secure place for my important documents,that I know.

Not only a rear cam but micro HDMI and a microSD slot as well. There are a few threads here on XDA about it you could look at for more info. If I was buying today I'd get this over the 32G model Nexus 7 I now own. Add a 64G microSDXC card for about $50 and you'd have double the memory and HDMI too for $50 less than my 32Gb Nexus 7.

The only caveat is that he didn't have the charger anymore, instead he had this flimsy travel phone charger that only outputs 0.7A. :(

Was just curious if anyone could help me with this. I'm wanting out of my Verizon contract I have 6 months left and noticed the customer agreement was updated on June 13 2013.

Chances are it will affect future contracts and renewals. Probably won't be able to get out of your current one because of it.

[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
Well sprint got into huge trouble about changing the etf about 1-2 years ago but that dealt with money. What was changed about it? And were you notified about the change
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
Not sure what changed, been reading it over and over and am trying to find my original receipt to compare them. I had the customer agreement bookmarked and was checking randomly to see if it changes, but it does state that I have 60 days from the change date to agree and if not their would be no penalties. Atleast that's how I understood it. Just thought maybe someone else had got out of a contract this way before and had some insite. Will probably just call them and work my way thru the chain if command and try.
[HTC Droid DNA] fr4nk1yn:
Without even reading it I'd say no. Verizon has been excellent at not changing anything that would allow people out of their contract.

[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
Spent about 2 hours on the phone earlier, the change was in reference to the 24 month upgrade change so no go. Even talked to 3 different supervisors. Guess I'll just pay the etf . thanks for the replys.

Don't pay the etf. Try and get someone to do an aol.
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
What is a aol? U talking having someone take my contract over?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Just taking a wild guess at this that AOL means assumption of liability. Any advantages to your contract. How many lines is it? By advantages I'm meaning like you got the double data or still have a grandfathered line. With only six months left I'm guessing your ETF is just a couple hundred bucks.

I don't know if you're going to be changing to a different carrier but if that's something you will be doing in the future, someone with some connections might be able to use the ETF as a negotiation tool to get you some special discounts.

[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
A couple of friends of mine were discussing this a while back, I don't know what really came of it but it might be worth a shot. Find a really rural out in the middle of nowhere spot that has no chance of having coverage and tell Verizon that you are moving there and that you would appreciate them letting you out of your contract unless they can provide service to you out there. Like I said, I don't know if it works, they were just talking about it and it was suggested.
[HTC Droid DNA] Imacellist:
If the contact terms apply to your account, they are obligated to let you out of your contract if you disagree with the terms. This is because the contract you signed originally is not what your new contact would be. By not saying anything you agree to the changes and it continues. A contract by definition protects you. If you don't agree with a change you can get out of it. If the change is for new contracts then it won't effect you and thus you cannot use this to your advantage. Hopefully this helps. It is applicable in any contract agreement.
[HTC Droid DNA] Daswolven:
The trick is to tell them you do not agree with the new contract terms, not that you want to cancel. If they ask if you want to cancel, you must say no, and reiterate that you are informing them that you do not agree with the new terms, also that you are recording the call for legal verification.

If you do not wish to cancel, but do not agree to the new terms, they can only allow you to continue under the old terms, which is illegal, or they can terminate your service. No ETF if they do it. Problem is that most reps you talk to will not be aware of the legal mechanics.
[HTC Droid DNA] Johnsonl1596:
Verizon dictators

I'm sure Verizon has a huge legal team which writes and looks over it a million times before before it is put into effect.

If you do get out of it somehow, let us know! I'm jealous! :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] kutster:
I do believe your current address on the account has to be changed to that new area before that even becomes a possibility due to the fact that when you send an inquiry like that, Verizon sends a team to check the towers and signal strength in your primary location. Therefore your primary location is that of your home and I believe work is encompassed in this as well. I spend a month dealing with Verizon and their towers and 4G LTE dropping from my old Razr. They sent out 3 tickets in the coarse of a month to check towers.Yet only changed my phone and refused to let me out of my contract since there was no issue with the towers or signal strength in my area.
