I firmly believe that their are no secrets on the freemasons, they just pull reverse psychology on people.

We cant tell you our secrets . . . . unless you join. . . .

Lmao it is like a big corporation think about it do you think snickers would give the recipe for their candy bars no do you think any other fraternity would tell you their info no so why should we
[Android Apps and Games] johnylovejoy:
Exactly its just like snickers! You make your way up the ladder to only find out that theirs nothing special or secretive about the recipe :p. I've always wanted to join, my dad wants to also.

You should join all you have to do is ask someone in your area what they require for you to become a member and hoi from there
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmaco:
I have a droid 3 and wanting to get a thunderbolt to get me by, just wanted to know if anyone has ran into issues with the phone? I know there was many before the ICS update but wanted to know if anyone has had any problems with it since the update?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
ICS made it much better but I still don't suggest getting one lol. For a little more you could get a rezound or galaxy nexus.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadow Death:
I didn't want to be the first one to say it haha.

Like disconnecktie said, If you have the option of getting a newer much better phone then take it. Most of us were suckered into this phone either at release or, in my case, joining Verizon.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Each phone has a trade off. At a time the bolt was about the easiest phone to root till they came out with their boot loader updates. The rezound is the phone I have now and over all is a good phone but at times reminds me of my old bolt plus to get s off you have to short out the phone. But s off isn't needed if you load the boot.IMG via your computer and fastboot. The gnex is good if you like to use custom Roms and so on. Its that true Google experience but radio signal can suck. Seems like a hit or miss for this and heard of screen burn in.

With my having the rezound I would say go for the gnex as you will have better access to updates via the gsm version. I wouldn't get the bolt as its old and being the first 4g phone it has issues and the ril is just crap and what kept this phone from being much better on the Dev side.could look at a s3 as those prices are coming down slowly with newer phones coming out. So if you like flashing custom Roms and so on then the gnex is for you. If you want a good all around phone the rezound is for you. I suggest if you can find them play with them first and see which fits you better.

My wife had the d3 and in two weeks got her a d4.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraconicSeed:
I've had my bolt now for two years. At first it was pretty cool. ICS did make it more stable but we had to wait forever to get it. It is easy to root from the last time I had to root it and I was able to get EXT4 recovery on it (Best recovery in my opinion). There are TON of custom roms out there from GB all the way up to the latest ICS. It's a good phone but I'm getting rid of mine and going over to the GS4 if only because I like new and shiney things and because my Tbolt how has a crack from the lower left to upper right of my screen and the far right side of my screen doesn't react to touch any more.

If you want a phone that's easy to root, recovery and flash on, the Bolt's pretty good. But if you want a really good phone stock, go with the newer ones like the DNA, HTC One, or the SGS4
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xmrjx:
hello,

i recently upgraded my ROM to T-mobile diamond release v1.1

I would like to upgrade to your special edition ROM since some things on the diamond release are not that good...

The problem is that anytime I try to install it the screen says "cannot find pocket pc, make sure your usb cable is connected" or something... it must be connected because active sync starts to run when i enter my pocket pc in his cradle, it also syncronises. I tried to reinstall te usb drivers, rebooted my pc, soft and hard reseted my pocket pc but I still get the same message... could somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong here?

thank you

MRJ
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
the SE rom is not new it's likely that you have one of the new roms which can only be downgraded by using the sd flash way insted of the usb flash way

also your icon say that you have a xda2 and the SE rom is only for xda1
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromejeremytay:
The system time in my galaxy ace s5830 is not working properly. This happens everytime I reboot my phone. Eg. when I switch off my phone at 11pm, after reboot the time goes backward to say 4pm. This happened to me at least 5 times, I even demonstrated in front of my friends so that I'm sure I'm not crazy. I had everything off, wifi off 3g off gps off automatic time off, literally everything except my screen is off.

Any suggestion on how to fix this problem? Running S'perience Rom BE kernel with sd int-ext+ on class 4 sd card.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromejeremytay:
Thanks for some of the useful methods. Alternate apps do not have anything to do with the system time. I tried reflashing the rom but still the same issue. I set the time zone to be in my region already, but did not do the automatic time zone adjustment because I do not have internet connection nor using wifi.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosevides:
Hello everybody. The thing is this. I have an Optimus L5 e615F (dual sim), and I was using it, when suddenly the phone rebooted. Since then, the phone is in a loop but NOT in a common boot loop. I mean, it's not stuck on the LG logo or similar. The phone boots to the screen when Android is checking the sd card. And probably it last 2-3 seconds and just reboot, and so on the same process infinitely. I hope somebody here knows some answer to my problem. Thanks everyone.

PD: I have already installed another original firmware with kdz and done a hard reset. But it's still the same.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mircea89fzr:
have you tried taking the sd card out?

also do a hard factory reset (yes, although you flashed kdz)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosevides:
Yes. I've done the same process with and without the sd card in the phone. But right now I noticed something very curious. For example, I installed a firmware from a different device, the same L5 but another kind, not the e615f but the e610 which is not dual sim. And the firmware jellybean has NOT the reboot-loop problem. But, anyway, that firmware is useless because the phone loose the touch-capability and doesn't recognize any sim. So I returned to ICE-Cream and to a original firmware designed to e615f but it's still the same.

Having that in mind, I think that is not a hardware problem, because the phone only reboots when android is loaded, but if I am installing some new firmware in the Download Mode, the phone has not rebooted (unless I want it happen). It's also very rare that when in JellyBean the phone doesn't reboot. So probably it could be a problem with IceCream but it's not very logical due to I've been using this version since I got the L5.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mircea89fzr:
If JB doesn't have the reboot problem, it must be software related. But I still don't understand how flashing a new ICS firmware still doesn't fix it. Definitely ICS encounters a system error and reboots. Maybe something at hardware-level (that only ICS accesses and not JB) doesn't function correctly. That is why flashing ICS from another device doesn't cause the reboot problem (that ICS doesn't have drivers for that particular hardware that causes problems). Try flashing JB and see if everything, I mean everything, works properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastianlow:
Recently I've been having a real bad experience with the Android Media Server, I know of the Rescan Media Server app that kills the service but that's not what I'm after. I know this problem plagues a lot of Android users and some might not even know that this is happening to their phones!

Is there a sure and permanent way to fix this problem? Like maybe an app to repair the corrupted files on the phone?

Formatting your SD card might help but with phones like the HTC One with non removable storage, having a corrupted file will be disastrous! I really hope Google will fix this issue :/

on my GT-N7000 system tuner pro and cpu-z show cpu temp, but on GT-P3100 is not....

maybe the cpu sensor hardware is missing on P3100?

in settings i can choose the Celsius or Farenhait, so the application knows....but when i set up the widget i can't select "CPU Temperature"....

on my Note GT-N7000 it is.... :(

this means that P3100 doesn't have cpu sensor? :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kt-Froggy:
Simply install any sensor app from Play Store (Android Sensor Box, Sensor List, Sensor Guru, or whatever else), and you'll get a definitive answer.

P3113, for example, does not have a temp sensor. I would guess the same for P3100.

Nope. The components inside do NOT have temp-sensing abilities.

can anyone help me plzzzzzzz:crying:

i have downloaded the untouched__rom_v2.0eu_dcplx1.zip for HTC desire c...is it working in my desire c (india). if yes please tell me how to install it...

Thanks in Advance plzzzz help me...:crying:
[HTC Desire C] uchihasparky:
There are a few things you need to consider about the untouched ROM here on xda.

1. It is based on the European RUU

2. It is GSM only, CDMA will not work

3. It probably is not much different then the stock ROM that you have (assuming your on stock)

Sooooo for your issues I don't recommend it.

However cyanogenmod may be the answer. And for that you will need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery + sdcard

For instructions on how to do this, do a SEARCH ON XDA for "GUIDE FOR NOOB" ;)

If I helped press thanks :)
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Hi gaurav,

If you still have warranty on your phone, the first thing I would suggest is go to the service center or wherever you got your phone from. It might be a hardware or manufacturing defect that your warranty should cover.

Do that before you decide to root your phone!

If you dont have warranty then there is no reason not to root your phone. Go for it! Then you can install custom roms as well. But read a lot before you do so.

All the best. Tell me what happens

its almost like the phone is emitting some noise during a call.
