That's not a kit with everything but the mainboard. That is just the screen and digitizer replacement. It is very hard to seperate the screen from the housing without doing damage. You have to use heat and be very gentle. I know where to get the whole front housing with the screen and digitizer already assembled, which is a better option but it's $95 shipped from china (etradesupply.com). Some of my parts are scratched and I'm looking for a new front assembly with screen basically but I also need a new speaker.

This is honestly the best route to go. Coming from experience, it is extremely hard to seperate the screen from the housing. It is even more difficult to seperate the digitizer from the lcd. This is honestly your best route. You could also try hitting up ebay and try to find one cheap with a bad esn and take the parts needed.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Still waiting for details on where you can get the screen plus back housing/bezel for $80 because I need both of these & the best price I can find is about $100.

As many of you know camera lags and crashes on p970 on all cyanogenmods ( i tried like 20 variations of it all had same ) Video recording doesn't last more like 3-20 secs till it stops, and then camera stops working and phone can't connect to camera unless you reboot your phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091599 i downloaded all cameras from here, but i don't know how to install them.. I unzip .zip file and inside i get 2 folders "system" and "META-INF", inside meta inf i find some folders and .RSA .SF and ,MF files. Inside system i find .apk file (doesn't install alone), camera.tegra.so this file and some other files. So can you tell me where should i put those files so i can install camera? :eek::eek::eek: i feel like omg, so many files with no description how to install...

[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
hello ppl,

I have this issue with my battery:

This afternoon my battery indicated 82%. the phone shut down and after a reboot it indicated around 27% battery left.

Later in the afternoon, after a reboot, I charged it for like 2 mins. it indicated 12%

I unplugged it and rebooted into recovery (4EXT) and it indicated 60% battery lvl.

I rebooted the ROM again and this indicated 34%

this event (reading 3 different battery lvls) took place in 1 minute, and the phone was not charger connected. It went from 12, to 60 and to 34%.

This really looks like a battery stats issue but what I can't help to wonder about is the following; do recovery and the ROM use different battery stats? this particular story sure gives that impression.

I plan to wipe battery stats after a full USB charge. U guys got any pointers I could consider? I have a stock batter for about 2 years now.

ROM: CM10.1 by Albinoman

Kernel: 3.0.67 ChronicBruce Linaro

Governor: ondemand

clockspeed: MIN 384 MAX 1728

I/O schedular: SIO

note: I did not experience any battery issue with this setup for at least 4 months prior to this problem, while using this setup.

attached a SS of the battery levels after reboot and shutdowns.
[HTC Sensation] Erbsenkönig:
Seems like you're experiencing the same issues. The battery percentage was also way higher in recovery mode than Android showed me. Never noticed that before, so I'm not sure if that's normal, or both our phones / batteries are malfunctioning.
[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
Wiping battery stats does nothing. 2 years is quite long for a battery, get an Anker?
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Before buying a new battery, did you attempt to flash a new ROM? becuase you seem to run a (very) old version of CM10.1 (I believe since March?), and although it's weird this popped up after four months, it is possible to be a problem in the ROM, especially with all the bugs fixed along the way. I believe updating the ROM should be the thing to do, before trying to change hardware parts (even battery), and if it won't work, you can always buy a battery (don't ofrget to back up your current ROM first).
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
I'm a mediocre XDA visitor and phone tweaker, so I didn't realize ROM's would get obsolete that quick (in my opinion). I will try to flash a updated CM, see if that works.
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
ok I updated my ROM. But there's no change in my batterie's behavior: shutdowns at high battery lvls and drops from enar full to near empty after the reboot.

I'm plannign to buy an Anker. but if anyone has some pointers that would be mint.

I already did the paper between battery trick.
[HTC Sensation] onemanshow85:
Another update, today i noticed that the battery is a little bit swollen. The battery casing doesn't close properly anymore. When looking closely i notice the battery being slightly thicker. I don't trust it and don't use it anymore untill i got the anker
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
When rooting the Galaxy S4 phone, it has been said on this forum that original USB cable must be used. I read people's posts where they said that Galaxy S3 cable did not work whereas using the S4 original cable that came with the phone worked.

I may have confirmed this the hard way when I also could not root the S4 until I used its original cable. The thing is, in addition to using the original USB cable, I also switched USB ports.

So is the cable itself different, or was it perhaps using a different port that made the difference?

I am not talking about low quality cables vs S4 cable, I am talking about genuine cables like the one that comes with S3, is there a difference between it and the S4 cable? I know the S4 charger is a 2 Amp charger, I know it's different and I am not talking about that, my question is about the cable itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
No you dont need the original that is bs. I haven't used my original at all. I used the one from my S2 and S3 with no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
I have only used an amazon .99$ cable on all my phones. Never had a single problem. I leave the original cable and charger in the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
Download "galaxy charging current lite"

Plug in each cable

You will see that different cables give you different voltages for charging. Ive only seen the highest (1900) with my original cable and that charges pretty quick. My s3 cable only charges at 1000 and my sisters crappy phone charger would only push 300 which is not enough to charge the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
Once again, multiple posts in Galaxy S4 threads mention to be SURE to use the original cable, especially when people have problems, and then they report problems resolved after using the original S4 cable that came with the phone. So several people that I've seen, including myself resolved problems after trying the original Galaxy S4 cable instead of the old ones, with one person specifically saying that even the Galaxy 3 cable did not work.

Judging by the post above, it is the cables themselves and not simply what they are plugged into (for example a new 2 amp power source vs older lower amp power sources or even different USB port).

So then the logical follow up question is HOW do you tell you are getting a cable that can match the original Galaxy S4 cable if nobody really lists the cable specs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
Thanks PostMeridianLyf for posting about that app. I just measured all the cables in the house. Some came in as low as 300, found three that came in at 1900, just like the original S4. I suppose the only way to tell is to test them after getting them. There should be an industry standard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
If you're going to charge the S4 overnight, is it actually preferable to use a 300 USB cord instead of the original 1900 cord because the charging would take (much) longer but would actually be easier on the battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
I wouldnt think so. If you keep refreshing it you will see that the phone is able to vary the charge and will slow or stop charging the battery when its full.

Besides, its the stock charger for a reason and batteries are not too expensivd either. Just my opinion though, and i dont even think 300 would be near enough
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
How cheap batteries are is not the point.

If you use a speed charger on regular batteries they will not last nearly as long as when you use a charger that takes several hours to fill them up.

After you go to bed, if you are looking at a few hours of sleep, then it doesn't matter how long the charge takes, doesn't it stand to reason that given a choice, we should choose the slower charging process and extend battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
Just try it. But i know for a fact 300 wont even keep your phone on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crazy talk:
in theory and in a lab? yes it will extend the battery life by some statistically relevant amount.

in the real world? you would see a bigger impact from heat (like gaming, using the phone outdoors, etc) on the battery than a slower charging current.

Heat kills batteries, not a sub 1C charging rate.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c627627:
I don't know what "all" phones means but this is a Galaxy S4 forum and if you use the app posted earlier to measure an old cable, and it happens to be a low current cable, you will not be able to Odin to root the Galaxy S4.

My Galaxy S4 did connect to my computer but I was not able to successfully root using Odin UNTIL I used the original cable which the app measured at 1900 vs. other cables which ranged from 300 to 600 to 900 to 1100. The same was confirmed by multiple users on this forum. Whenever someone has problems rooting Galaxy 4 through Odin, one of the first questions asked now is 'which cable are you using?'

I measured some old cables to match the original Galaxy S4 cable, but there is no way to tell unless you use the new 2 amp Galaxy S4 charger to send the current through and measure each cable using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
The main issue here that people are referring to is the pins on the cables. Certain manufacturers are known to use extra pins in the connectors. These serve a few purposes which I won't get into. You may notice on those cables only reaching 300 mAh that the data transfer is also slower. On the factory one, the data transfer will be quicker.

That's all there is to it. Your phone will root just fine. Now, sometimes a crappy charger will really screw with the phone and battery and the only way to "reset" it so it works fine is to use the factory charger. Like when your phone says it's charging even though it's not plugged in.

As far as "trickle charging" a Li-ion battery (ours is a lithium ion polymer battery I think) its worthless generally. Trickle charging is an old trick use on lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries. Li-ion works in a totally different way. No real point exists for using that method on these batteries. You might as well charge fast and use your phone than waste time at 300 mAh. Your battery has a chip in it that takes care of all the dirty work. It maintains the proper charging current and will top off the charge as needed while it's plugged in - which is what a trickle charge would do if done correctly.

I've had some serious success with viper4android, running hyperdrive with ktoons 7/7 kernel. I've never heard such crisp, loud, and bassy music out of my sennheiser HD558's as I have with the viper mod enabled. For me I use the cortexA9 driver. And my settings for viper are simply: under fidelity settings, viper bass, natural, 50hz, 3.5 db. Viper clarity, ozone+, 8db. Also in the aroma installer for hyperdrive I checked the volume option to loud. That's just my experience with the mod. Tweak it to what sounds good for you, and always check to make sure the driver is actually processing the audio.

[Motorola Atrix HD] sparkplugDev:
A few days ago I got my Atrix HD and immediately rooted and subsequently unlocked the bootloader. Later I successfully flashed EcHoFiiVe's paranoidAndroid port... I didn't really like it because of the aspect ratio (too tiny) so I tried to flash back to a stock ROM. I lost and later accidentally deleted the backup I had made of the stock ROM that came on the device so that is now out of the question but for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't make changes to /system from the recovery or from the bootloader using fastboot commands. I've tried inputing

fastboot erase system -w

and it told me that I didn't have sufficient permissions and that the command failed. Therein lies my problem. Fortunately, I have a runnable backup (PA) I just really wish to try something different and the device is adamantly against the idea. According to the bootloader the device is unlocked with status code 3. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

you do not have to wipe it just fastboot flash Mex retail to overwrite it and you will be starting over.

to be clear, are you saying I can just do this:

Extract the zip

Open a terminal to the extracted zips directory

Reboot into fastboot

can anyone please heads up for me for this?

any tool or method to find if the phone is unlocked its bootloader or not?

cz i have got this phone from my friend and he needs to have 2.3 GB.

and this phone is 11w50 so i think as for several guides this cant unlocked bootloader (above 11w29 )

so is there any way to flash this ROM??

or is there any rom (at least 2.2) which can flash on locked bootloader?

and that means above 11w29 phones cant flash any custom rom??

my main concern is HOW TO CHECK IS THE PHONE IS BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED OR NOT??

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HighPingBastard:
Hey guys,

Well I succeeded in upgrading to Anansky's BigStorage ROM and was very satisfied, but now my stupid speaker broke (I have a similar problem to other users where they can hear sound if they blow into the speaker). I have to return the Magician so I need to revert back. Can someone PLEASE upload the original XDA II ROM PLEASE???

Here's a list of instructions on how to backup the ROM:

Backing up your ROM can be done by connecting your Magician to the PC through the data cable when you first uncheck the USB connection of active sync.

If your Magician connects with active sync because you didn't uncheck the USB connection in the active sync connection settings then you will not be able to backup your ROM to an SD memory card.

1. Before connecting your Magician you should bring it into the boot loader mode. This can be done by simultaneously pressing power + camera buttons and at the same time the soft reset button with the stylus.

2. After connecting your Magician to the PC through the USB in boot loader mode and having your SD card inserted into the MDA, you run romupdate.exe.

3. Then choose the USB connection in the connection settings of romupdate.exe window and click on ok. After that a terminal window will popup in that window.

4. Type d2s and press enter. Your Magician will start copying the ROM to the sd card. The screen of your Magician will be dark (no light), but you will see it counting up to 100%. When it reaches 100% it will say it is calculating the checksum. Give it some time till its done and it will say checksum ok.

5. After finishing the transfer of the ROM from your Magician to the SD card, put your SD card into an SD card reader connected to your pc. Your pc might pop up a warning message that says your SD Card is not formatted would you like to format? Click No and open a Command prompt (DOS) window.

6. Change directory to your root directory (cd c:\) and run the command ntrw read o2orig.nb1 x: where x is the drive letter of your sd card. That command will create the ROM Backup file of your ROM into your C drive root directory by the name of o2orig.nb1. Make sure you keep o2orig.nb1 in a safe place and use a copy of that file for the rest of the procedure. Note that after finishing the copy from your SD card to o2orig.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.

7. WinRAR the o2orig.nb1 file, then upload it to the XDA Developers FTP .[/i]

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HighPingBastard:
The answer to this was I was using my digital camera as an SD reader...and the backup didn't work properly for some reason. So now I have nothing.

The backup (I think you're talking about the O2 Original Dump Rom) doesn't work for me. I have a 1.11 version of the O2 Asia ROM, but I'd rather have the original WWE. Oh yes, and I've tried several times with the "Original Dump Rom" using 220, 415 and 416 bytes...nothing works.
