I read that the keyboard crashes if you are non US but how do i solve it? Is it because the Play Edition is US only and i need to change my phone to become a US model number or something along those lines?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wafflestyx:
Trying to find out what I have in order to update.

From looking at images it looks just like a Wildfire, but the box says ""HTC Desire A" and in the os under Model number it says "HTC Desire A".

Can I follow the how to for wildfire in order to update or is this something different?

Also this being my first android phone, I don't know much about the different versions.

Is there any advantages go to 4.0 instead of 2.3? I'm guessing since this is a rather low-end of the spectrum in terms of power, 4.0 might not be as fast / some features might not work.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snoop05:
Boot in HBOOT [Vol- and Power] compare it to Wildfire - check if it have common HBOOT version, etc.

4.0 ICS had new HW rendering - using GPU and not CPU to render whole screen --- means better performance, battery life and more options for development ........ but its not useful for wildfire because it don't have GPU :( its using software CPU renderer

some apps may require ICS for SDK API and not work on GB.

You should try both and use smoother and less bugged one. --- try Launcher Pro and use Entropy Seeder to get perfromance boost.

We are so manny that have tried alot here, but our SGS3 have turned into a PDA and no use :( Tried earliere to create a guide or get one that worked after installing a MG4 ROM, but did not have any success and my phone still have the genetric IMEI, everybody says restore your EFS backup BUT I don't have any of those.

Know here is a solution for it, but have not foundt it yet, alot of people are crying ablout this that our fones are useless.

Moderators says stop posting and read 1000's of other post that have the same problem, but when I don't have found any or nobody have PM'ed me with a solution, then I ask before everybody is post about the same problem.

Can anyone make a stiky post with some ways to restore lost IMEI or guide us true a restore of a rom that reads our IMEI correct again?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Step 1) restore efs backup

Step 2) try reflash original rom

Step 3) if you were ever on mg4, ensure you stick with mg4 baseband

Step 4) send for repair

You were not alone my friend. I had same issue and same levels of frustration for days.

You could have seen my thread but it was sgy specific.

"Solution": Use odin flash stock rom firmware with "Clear EFS".and "Repartition" checked.

The above was only solution that worked for me. I recovered imei.

Once restored I took backup of EFS using galaxytoolbox app on playstore and copied those img files to pc for future emergency.

You can't find a solution to EFS corruption when not having a backup, because there isn't one! If the three suggestions by RootSU don't work then no amount of crying is going to fix your phone, send it for repair.

All the guides and stickies have good advise on what to do before you customise your phone -backup your efs folder keep it safe.

I suppose if you are desperate and going to need a paid for repair then any trick posted will be tried .

Ok finally getting my wife talked into getting an android phone. The Problem is her Itunes library. Its huge!! Is there any legal way to get all her media to work on an android device. I think this will be a deal breaker if we cant and I am sooooo sick of apple and Itunes. Can anyone help?
[General Questions and Answers] white.noise:
If you get a Samsung device then you can use Kies just like she would use iTunes with her iPhone! (It even works via WiFi)
[General Questions and Answers] shimp208:
One way easily transfer her media content that is perfectly legal, is to navigate to the folder where iTunes stores it's media and then copy that folder to her phones sdcard (Either internal storage or external storage). For example say you wanted to copy her music, go the iTunes music folder on your computer's hard drive, select the folder and copy the folder to her phones storage. You can then repeat this process for any videos, pictures, etc. she has stored in iTunes to transfer them to her phone. When copying music from iTunes to the phone it may ask if you want to covert the music to be playable on the phone, select yes and let it convert the music which will then be playable on her phone.
[General Questions and Answers] gc84245:
Agree with above. Just find the files and copy them over like you would with a usb drive. Sooner you break free from Apple the better :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] binary7:
Because I had bought so many apps on Amazon App Store and didn't want to double pay getting them from Google Play, I decided to download the app store. The way I did was I went to the amazon app store and on the right clicked getting started. (Sorry, I can't link yet). Right on this page, you will see instructions for downloading appstore on a android device. Here are the exact steps I followed...

I went into settings and checked "allow installation of 3rd party apps"

Then I opened google chrome and found the page (just google amazon appstore for android, it should be one of the top links and on the right hand side of that page, it says "getting started")

Then you just click the link under step 2, download, pull down notifications and install.

I at first had problems with the QR code not initiating the download, but just using the link off of the amazon website i was able to download right onto the tablet versus sideloading it on.

I hope this helps!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Maxy1292:
I'm new to this whole thing, as anyone who saw my last thread I made a really dumb mistake and at that point I've decided to make sure I know 100% what I'm doing before I attempt anything else.

Anyways I have a rooted HTC One, still have custom recovery, I think what I had flashed was a stock ROM but I was looking into trying another ROM. The thing is I don't want to have to redownload and re-install all of my apps and whatnot again as that was a pain in the butt. I know there's backups and whatnot through TWRP and Titanium, but do they carry over from ROM to ROM or are they specific to a certain ROM?

Or am I completely off base with this whole assessment lol. I'm trying to learn all this stuff but it's definitely a lot of information to take in and I don't want another fiasco like last time
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SkinnyBiggs:
You can use titanium backup that way you can bring your data with you but restoring data can cause lag and other issues. That's why I just reinstall them all one by one I actually enjoy the process of setting up a new Rom. It is not Rom specific at all. Also check out SMS back up & restore. With that app you can even save your texts.

If you are flashing a rom with the same base that you already have (eg. both sense roms) you can try a dirty flash and you wont loose anything except your widgets on your home screens, I do it all the time bit it does not always work from one rom to another, ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!!! just in case.....

Looks like my HTC One is bricked.

What pisses me off is I didnt do modify anything except S-OFF couple of weeks ago before the 4.2.2 update.

All stock.

Was about to turn off my AC with the One, and it just would turn on.

Charging light is off, connecting it to PC shows its identified as QHSUSB_DLOAD.

Seems like it's qualcomm download mode. No ADB no Fastboot, no nothing.

No idea what happened to it.

QPST software detects it is in Qualcomm download mode, and probably allows flashing a new boot image and phone image. Any idea how to push the boot image to the phone using QPST?

Well indeed a dead emmc chip there is nothing I can do. Also, I did not unlock the bootloader and it's not tampered, so I suppose they should also cover it. The only thing is I bought it off Amazon France, and live in Israel, so the warranty procedure will be a pain in the a**.

Also, if you bought from Amazon, why not just return it to them as defective and get a full refund? They have a great return policy, and you won't have to worry about HTC warranty at all. Just a thought.

It says you can go to your order and click on returns and it will give you the status. Also, says even after 30 days for normal items, they will refund 80%. Worth checking out anyways.

Well, lucky you suggested that. First I found out the phone im using was from Amazon.de and not Amazon.fr (I ordered from both, kept the first to arrive and sold the second). Amazon.de seems to have a much better return policy and I can still probably return it if I understand correctly with my poor German and Google Translate.

The only bummer is that I wont get back the taxes paid (We have 35% tax on cellphones). But if I have a problem with HTC warranty (Although probably shouldnt have), I'll just return it to Amazon.
