If yours does not have any smell, it means that something went wrong with the others. I have a smelly one, and the smell is so strong that you cannot miss it.

I will try to contact Poetic and ask a replacement.

Mine doesn't have the smell for sure. It doesn't smell like anything. Hope you guys get a replacement because it is a nice case. :)

I contacted smart shop online via Amazon. I didn't specifically ask for a replacement yet, I just mentioned the smell. This is their response:

"We request you to please set the case outside for 2-5 days and we assure you that smell will vanish off .If still there is smell after 5 days and you are not comfortable using it please drop us an email and we will *send you the replacement unit."

I'm pretty sure this smell isn't going anywhere. Tuesday will be day 5.

I soaked mines in mouth wash and alcohol lol then washed with dish washing liquid lol no more smell.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Itchiee:
It's still slightly smelly and should be done by tomorrow. I've been washing it each day then hanging it in the backyard. The seller on Amazon sent me an unprovoked email today stating reports of this cover possibly smelling and to air it out a few days, good advise. Or I can return it for a refund if I felt the need, but I know this is the game we play so i'll just wait another day and it should be fine. Those cases that don't smell have just been made earlier... It will be the same product if returned. I've had this a few times with the multitude of cases I've ordered over the years. Chalk it up to fresh stock if you would...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Malden:
Soaked mine in baking soda, peroxide, laundry detergent and water for 2 days and the smell was gone. Just a faint smell of my laundry detergent now, which I'm okay with.

Hi,

I can't figure out how solve this apparently simple problem.

On my HTC one S I just changed carrier, but I can't change the name of SMTP outgoing mail server (non Gmail). It seem related to the required authentication, the system after saving the new configuration automatically revert to the old account authentication information.

I read many post and the only solution seem delete the account and recreate it, but in this case I will loose all my mail I sent from the HTC as I got some IMAP accounts.

In order to bypass the problem I was looking to export the SENT folder in my HTC and import on other system when I need it, but as I got back to stock room I do not see anymore the root folder.

Other solution was to resend all sent mail....annoying but better than loosing the mail, unfortunately all the WiFi I get in touch are requiring authentication so I can't send again.

I'm not an expert but even Titanium seem not helping as I just saw one file for all accounts.

Any idea will be really appreciate. Thanks,
[HTC One S] s.anthares:
Solved by using a SIM from an operator which is not requiring authentication and forward all mail.

Hello Xda forums,

I have a problem, I want to buy free in app purchases with using freedom but I have learned that it wont work with Play store with 4.x.x versions.. Now I have recently updated my firmware and my "factory resetted" google play is already the version 4.0.27, so I cant use Freedom. I need a way to install Google Play 3.x.x to my device. I have tried downloading and simply installing 3.10.14 apk, but as you can guess, it didnt work since I already have an updated version. Installing an older firmware is not a choice.. Please help me?!!

[HTC One V] green.apple:
In terms of performance how different is the HTC One V compare to the Sony Xperia Play?
[HTC One V] pa1n21:
They mostly have the same internals, which are a 1 GHz scorpion with an adreno 205. The only hardware differences between the two, are the screen and the version of android, (4.0 on the HOV and 2.3.4 on the Xperia). The Xperia is also about 1 year older.
[HTC One V] lars1216:
The Android version isn't a hardware difference it's software. Also the play has PSP buttons (which is a hardware difference)
[HTC One V] pa1n21:
Yeah, I know. It could have some performance changes through newer features being implemented in the new version of android between gb and ics, (if you stay on stock rom). Thanks for pointing that out though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] webengr:
I have a hard bricked Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710). My fault, fortunately it was the spare phone after a recent upgrade.

So I could send it to Texas or find a local person about an hour away with a Riff box and try that.

BUT I am thinking about getting a Riff Box myself and documenting the experience.

That way if I hard brick... again I can fix without sending to someone else to do JTAG and I can post it also.

Here comes the question. From what I read, I will either have to solder or jury rig or buy a 'JIG' to connect the cable

to a chip on the motherboard. Does anyone know for sure which 'Jig" would go to the 'SPRINT' version of the S3?

I also read posts saying the 'Polish' jigs are better...

But again which jig will work with the sprint U.S.A. version of S3?

(sorry can not post URL examples do to new to forums)

If no one on the forums has done this for the sprint S3 then this may be something that should be done and posted for others to read.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Jtag no longer necessary.

All you need is an SD card. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43724690 This is proven to work, pioneered here for Sprint S3 and has worked on T-Mobile and Verizon as well.

tried the SD did not work with this brick.

I appreciate the cross reference, I did search forums before posting and I already tried the SD card, used a level 10 16gig, maybe I should have tried a 32gig card... but I did try that. I do know unix and I prefer openbsd for gateways, and freebsd for servers over linux.

BTW I did get a reply from the company FONEFUNSHOP LTD in UK, concerning the "Samsung i747 / i747M / T999 / T999v (aka. Galaxy S3) JTAG Jig (+ 1 X 12 Pin Molex Port) " and the response was:

--not sure as we dont see that model over here in the UK, i doubt it, so i will say no.

So -bump- if no one knows, I could try posting with the riff box support forum as a presales question... They do list the SPH-L710 as a supported phone... but what jig?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IDontKnowMang:
I had to have a JTAG done on the phone I'm using now. The SD card method didn't work I tried a variety of SD cards and none worked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] webengr:
Fingers crossed... Just ordered a Riff Box from ipmart... l paid for UPS shipping with insurance from ipmart and used paypal to give me some protection but it was less than $150, which is a good price if I get it. I did use a vendor listed on the riffbox.org site so I should be supported according to their site.

I never did get a good answer on what jig. To try something I ordered the multi-com jig off an ebay seller in California for a JTAG Samsung I747/I747M/T999/T999V (Galaxy S3) but I have no assurance that will work on a SPH-L710 because the seller did not know either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IDontKnowMang:
I saw someone just run wire straight from the cable with no jig at all. Wish I knew what he put where he just had 15 little wires soldered to the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] webengr:
polish jig did not work with us sprint galaxy s3

I ordered the RIFF box on a Friday and got it the following Thursday. Faster than I was ready to use... So IPmart is okay!

I ebay ordered the jig for the T999 mentioned afore and bad news... while it looks like the correct connector on the jig... the way the jig is built it will not fit the phone it appears. The cable pins are in the way, if the cable pins had been on the other side maybe. :(

As to your question. The software with the riff box has a "clues" section as part of the resurrection that gets downloaded... and it explains exactly where to solder along with a photograph of motherboard and pin numbers. The clues section is must read and may also include tricks. Since you need the riffbox and the software to do this I will not repeat the information here in respect to the manufacturer.

I may give up on trying to find jig and just solder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] webengr:
This may be the way to go to avoid soldering, but I don't really want to put out another $70 and wait another couple weeks for another thing from China. Google "JPIN JTAG Molex Flex cable for Samsung LG without soldering support Riff Box"

after looking at my HUGE tip on my soldering iron... I am going to order it.

I just put the jig I could not use up on ebay. Someone will benefit.

// It seem that i posted on the wrong section (had alot of tabs opened, sorry for my mistake, if any admin can move the post, will be AWZUM!)

Hello! im pretty new to unlocking bootloaders and stuff, and i wanted to know, i search here on XDA some tutorials and i found this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1961298

How ever that tutorial covers 2.3.3, and im running 2.3.2 Stock Rom, also when going to sonymobile and following the steps to unlock the bootloader, itsays to dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check for rooting status, my device dosnt have that displayed ( as a side note, i rooted my deviced almost 2 years ago).

However, I Continued with the sony steps and when dialing *#06# , the cellphone does give me my MEID, i continued with the tutorial, and so far, i got in my mail, my key to unlock my bootloader.

My question is, can i proceed with unlocking my bootloader? i would like to install a custom kernel so i can overclock it, to play games a little more fluid, my current room its a Stock Rom, however ALL the bloatware apps are gone now, my phone just have about 12 apps, and its using 80 megas out of the 300 the xperia has. is this good or i can go better with a custom kernel and a smaller rom?also im from mexico, when doing this im gonna need to reactivate my cellphone or something on the company?

Cellphone: R800x (Custom Build.prop To Be Identified in the market as a R800i)

Status: Rooted

Rom: Stock Rom 2.3.2

Want To: Play games more fluid, try to overclock TO A SAFE SPEED. i dunno maybe 1.6? 1.5?

Thank you! C:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaiselW:
Update to 2.3.4 then it will show in service menu if you can unlock bootloader and if you want root then root through flashtool with 2.3.4
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
You can unlock your bootloader with flashtool. Doublecheck your unlock code you got from Sony. Make sure you have correct drivers installed. Verizon kept the root status in service menu hidden... But it will work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Yes it will work but as lordomn said check and make sure all your drivers are good then do it and you should be fine
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScarletDreamz:
Thank you guys! so far, i got my Xperia Play atm very clean, i got it whitout ANY bloatware, i think almost same as the "Cola Rom", it only have like 10 apps, as a base, and it uses 70 megas from the 300 that it has, so my question would be, if there are any GREAT benefits from unlocking the bootloader, on the "Gaming" side of this, like what can i do after unlocking the bootloader that will pump a little my device on the gaming way? O:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well you can flash a new kernel and over clock your device
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScarletDreamz:
Yeah, thats easy saying lo, but im particulari new to this.. theres alot of stuff involved, for example, im on 2.3.2 stock rom, i made a revocery image using CWM, and saved it somewhere safe, so here are the questions in order, ( if you can answer them in order would be great ):

1.- im on 2.3.2 stock rom, and i saw a kernel named 2.3.3 stock kernel with overclock, can i flash this with my stock rom and keep my stock rom, or i would need to flash first a 2.3.3 stock rom?

2.- when i want to test a new rom, do i need to flash the kernel first, or the rom?

3.- am i totaly safe with CWM and a nandroid backup?

4.- testing kernel is something safe? i mean can i go back?

5.- if something goes REALLY WRONG, can i flash the stock rom/kernel using flashtool?

6.- i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605631 wich is the stock kernel 2.3.3 overclocked, but im on 2.3.2, can i flash it and stay on 2.3.2 or i need to flash the kernel and then the room, or first the rom and then the kernel?

7.- can i install CWM recovery on all the roms? i pretty much want to be safe, in case something goes wrong, or can i just use FLASHTOOL, to flash the stock firmware / kernel 2.3.2 and start over again?

8.- unlocking bootloader makes the xperia play able to use the flashtool, right? like, whitout unlocked bootloader, how does people flash roms for locked bootladers? using CWM recovery menu, the update .zip function? im pretty confussed right here, like, i unlocked my bootloader, so, i can use flashtool right, thats what unlocking the bootloader its for?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
i think you can find the answer to alot of your questions here at FMA's thread it has a very good Q&A.... but anyhow ill answer them to the best of my ability.

1. im not sure as i never messed around with GB but i believe that 2.3.3 kernel will work on 2.3.2, but why would you want to stay on 2.3.2 when 2.3.3 has better performance?

2. Yes always flash the kernel first then the rom.

3. A Nandroid backup does not back-up the kernel as the partion its on CWM cant see... so if you get a faulty kernel flash or you flash a wrong kernel just use flashtool to get a working one.

4.yes you can always go back from flashing a kernel and yes its pretty much safe.

5. yes you can always flash with flashtool unless for whatever reason you damage the bootloader or the Trim Area then you have to seek for more advanced methods to recover the phone, dont worry tho if you dont accept an official update after unlocking the bootloader you will be fine.

6.i would be safe and upgrade to 2.3.3 using a .ftf so that you dont have any headaches.

7. yes you can flash CWM on all roms, however CWM is not part of the rom but the kernel and almost every costom kernel already has a recovery.

8.no everyone can use flashtool, unlocked or not except r800at models, no thats not what flashtool is for, flashtool is built to flash .ftf files to Sony Ericsson phones, it also has other functions like unlocking a bootloader and other things

if you have other questions just ask and i will do my best to answer them... :D
[Atrix 4G General] Cab121:
One of the last Atrix 4Gs I rebuild I gave to my best friend. Makes his first Android. The guy is just evil with phones. I have repaired this one a few times but never anything major. Screen and some minor stuff. My favorite love with this phone is you simply pop out the bad part, snap in a new one, and off you go.

Well this time it went for a dive in the toilet. Yea post use. He told me about it and he remembered the rice trick. So I picket it up and grudgingly began work on it. Got a good laugh. Washed my hand alot.

Here is the deal with a wet Atrix4g. It simply won't hurt it as long as you recover it properly. First remove the battery ASAP. Carefully dismantle it completely. Submerge everything in clean rubbing alcohol. This will displace any water trapped in very small spaces by disrupting the surface tension and opposing buoyancy. Take the screen and digitizer out after 30 seconds. Let them dry separately. Then after more than 2 hours remove the rest. Let it all dry in pieces for a day. RE assemble your phone and enjoy it since it has never been that clean.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Awesome info, thanks. I know about the rice trick (and sawdust if you're out of rice for some reason), but I'd never have thought about rubbing alcohol. My fiancee has had this kind of misfortune with her phones too. Her last one took a dive so she got a waterproof one, lol. In any case, good to know.

Sorry for all these but I really need help with this..

I ported sense 4.1 Lite from the Desire X (1.18.707.3, CID HTC_044) with base as hTC Asia HK 2.24.708.1. It boots and I'm able to do set up, but once I finish set up, when it tries to load Rosie (I think) it freezes and reboots. Then it reaches lockscreen after rebooting and freezes again, then reboots again. Can anyone help me? It's really driving me nuts T.T. Attatched logcat, from after it boots after fresh install.
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
most likely not very helpful. but when i was converting blue sense by shub and myonev 3.5 to cdma..any time i tried to use an incompatible skin it froze the launcher and caused the device to reboot directly after setup had finished. also it did the same thing when i tried a rosie that was not compatible with the build. even though your issues will not be exactly like mine..i say check that the rosie app is not corrupted some how and that the skins are all proper for that build. either will cause a nasty freeze and crash.

Ah okay, thanks. It did say something about framework..
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
i did notice in your logcat a wallpaper error. believe it or not,something as simple as not being able to locate the settings for the wallpaper will cause rosie to freeze. the minor things like that caused me all sorts of headaches.

Do you know how to fix the wallpaper error by any chance? XD
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
there is a lot of issues happening according to the logcat(but that's because you havent debugged fully yet) as for the wallpaper issue i want to look at the logcat again on my pc,trying to scan it on my one v is proving difficult. it appeared to be two issues,one with the idlescreen wallpaper settings and i thought i saw a mention of wallpaper issues related to a missing xml file.
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
Yeah I did the logcat after boot.. and it cuts off when I try to copy it =/
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
two issues with wallpaper one is just the idlescreen wallpaper related to the com.htc.album app :

W/PackageManager( 1635): Unknown permission com.htc.idlescreen.permission.WALLPAPER in package com.htc.album

and this is the one i think could be an issue..among other things im probably not the person to get help from on..

I/SystemServer( 1635): Wallpaper Service

W/WallpaperService( 1635): failed parsing /data/system/wallpaper_info.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/wallpaper_info.xml: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

i suggest adding this file from a working sense lite rom from another developer(not to kang it from them of course but to test with and then if it is the issue create your own wallpaper_info.xml) and then try to boot back up. hope it helps.
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
Okay.

I got a full boot logcat now. No SIM or SD card inserted, and it's after set up.

I know the wallpaper isn't the issue though..
