It totally blows... cos i always end up taking the phone out of my pocket and sometimes i dont hear the stylus drop. ive already lost two like this... it might end up being more expensive to just keep buying stylus than to open the BA and screw it up... All in all my ones been opened already :shock:

i dropped it on concrete and somehow the touchscreen stopped working although the screen was intact. O2 replaced it with a brand new one for diddly sqwat!! FANTASTIC!!! :D :D :D :D :D

i might just take it appart next weekend and have a little look inside see if there is a way to access this comparment and maybe doing a little DIY style modding!

if i come up with any conclusions ill post them with some pics of course!

a friend of mine took his apart and there does not appear to be a way to tighten the stylus. He said it was just a small plastic protusion that held it in place. Once it wears, you are out of luck. Have not seen this myself, but thats what he tells me..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ekimpay:
that's correct, it's just a plastic clip protruding to grab the gap on the stylus. if it's broken, you may just have to put a tape or sticker around the stylus to make it tighter.

there are 4 screws (one under the void sticker) where the battery goes. i just took mine apart to tighten slider. it's back to sliding smoothly & tight, however, there's still a noticeable gap (between the screen plate & keyboard plate).

anyone knows how to eliminate this gap (about 2mm)?

I use 1 layer of tape around the stylus. spanning the groove in the stylus. This seems to make it a good bit tighter, but does not fix the problem entirely. Hope that helps..

i dont like the idea of having tape on my stylus... looks well tacky going into a metting with clients!!

so i took some black insulation tape and made small squares with an art blade and stuck them to the inner edge of the holder... now it sits there nice and tight like a school girl :D

I have also encountered this problem(i got my BA 6 months till now), however it is not that loose as what ur described. at lease it never drop out when i was outside. (after reading this i become worry about it)

I used to own a IPAQ 5550, when i got my BA, i thought the quality of the stylus is better than ipaq's plastic stylus(should have some heavy stuff insde..), i like the BA's metalic stylus.

Now i found that the IPAQ plastic stylus + the spring-like system inside the whole is much better...i want to have one BA + the metalic stylus + the spring-like system to hold the stylus....

if some day i am that unlucky to lost my BA's stylus i will try to use the 3-in-one PDA pen... once it lost one, i may lost another... i wont use normal stylus if it happened.

Loose stylus - Stylus falls out

This has worked for me. It's been 5 months, and it still works.

-Back up your data.

-Remove the cover you will find a small tab in the stylus channel intended to engage the notch cut into the stylus. Gently push the tab back into the stylus channel so that it will engage the stylus notch once again. Be careful if you push it too far it will break.

-Slide the stylus into the channel to verify that the tab again engages the stylus notch.

-Remove the stylus again.

-Apply a small dab silicone sealant (available at any hardware store) behind the stylus retention tab. This is the "V" shaped area between the tab and the case. Be sure to fill this entire area. When the silicone has cured it will become a spring with much better position memory then the original plastic tab had on its own.

-Reassemble your BA.

-Allow 24 hours for the silicone to cure before inserting the stylus into the channel.

I believe this is more then a repair, it is an upgrade.

Good Luck,

Yet again we're having to come up with dodgy (although well thought out) solutions to HTC's shoddy design flaws. My BA is about 3 - 4 months old and its up to this already. I keep finding my stylus on the floor.

Thing is, all these solutions void the warranty and I have to take mine back soon (See the Xray thread :P ) and am hoping for a replacement on insurance.

The P800 and XDA2 had this problem as well, but surprisingly I have NEVER lost a single stylus in my life! I always just happen to find them again. One time I found my P800 stylus 2 days later in the street between my college and my flat :S

Any Kentucky Fried Chícken fans out there?

After losing 5 styli - not only because they were loose in the holder (one went on the motorcycle after I missed the holder hole and then let it go) I came up with this junky solution.

The KFC corn cob holders are a good diameter (had to add a thin layer of tape) and just long enough to be modifiable to add a knureld part at upper end. At at least one of their restaurants I found them outside of the front counter and was able to obtain a few cheap spare emergency styli

Oh well.

Hi Everyone,

Question. Trying to get S-Off...

Currently HTCDev bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Running CleanRom XE 1.1...

Tried using Revone but keep getting Revone Error Code = 1 after ./revone -P command.

Tried Moonshine, but getting ADB Connection after test 2 when it reboots the phone from the bootloader.

I have tried every method, reboot etc...

Any help???

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xeni:
Have you looked at the original threads for Moonshine and Revone and see if other users had the same issue and what their solution was if any?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CLEVELANiMAL:
I think you have to be on stock firmware. Have you tried moonshine with a stock .12 rom. Make sure Fastboot is unchecked and usb debugging is checked?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] razieltov:
Use revone-0.2.1

And if that continues to give you an error. Keep repeating the command. Eventually it will lock in.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] TikeKiller889:
Can I flash the Infusion Kernel 1.8 onto Emancipation A: 1? For all intensive purposes I'm asking if the kernel can be flashed onto any rom.

I don't want to ask a stupid or noob question but, I haven't been able to find my answer anywhere. When I first started the rooting/flashing a rom process I was gonna go with Zeus Z-TR which I believe has voltage control built into it. After a bit of reading I settled on Emancipation but, I still wanna be able 2 OC/UV.

Also, I'm wondering about the beats audio that is built into the Z-TR rom. Is that because it comes with 1.8 kernel?

So, if someone can answer that question I would really appreciate it a lot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] magnetboard:
I'd just flash the new synthesis kernel and as long as you're on gingerbread, you can flash another GB kernel you wish
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I'm thinking Infusion is Froyo and Emancipation is GB. If those facts are correct, then NO, you can not
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TikeKiller889:
Thanks for the answers. After looking into it some more its safe to say I'm stuck without OC/UV since its GB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] magnetboard:
If youre on gb, flash the synthesis kernel. Its oc/uv with working mhl on gb.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I'll not familiar with synthesis.....must be new within the last year.

There are several kennels named infusion. The one you (op) mentioned was Froyo.

But developer/member Zen has two GB kernels named Infusion that allow overclock...Zen's Infusion A and Zen's Infusion B. 1600 for A and 1400 for B

Why are there more custom roms for the samsung galaxy y 5360 and not as much for its dual sim variant the galaxy y duos.......I wish i could get cm7 or 9 or 10 to wrok on it! is it that roms are easier to develop on single sim variant phones than the dual sim ones?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] thewarlord:
No dude!! There is no much different in making Rom for single or double sim!! It's all about amount of user!!

Y users are approximately double or more than y duos user!!

So y have double amount of developers than y duos who port cm to y!!

[Q] why y developers don't make Rom for y duos ??

Coz they need y duos for check bugs ,debugging & installation process.... And they have only y!!

So there are less amount of Roms available for y duos in comparison of y!!
[G2 General] jspradling7:
If I try to charge the phone using any one of the myriad of USB cables and wall plugs I have laying around, the G2 goes into "Slow Charging" mode. When I use the cord and plug that came with the phone it charges like it's evidently supposed to. The USB cable is bigger around than my other cable too.

Kinda disappointed that the transparent selection for the on-screen buttons is literally for the buttons and not the background of the buttons which would actually be helpful.

I like having a tabs version of the menu screen option. I got used to the way the S4 menu layout is and the tabs version on the G2 is similar to that. You can toggle back and forth.

Being able to select which toggles are available on the drop down status screen is cool and easy to use.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
In terms of the charging.

Most phone chargers that aren't specifically for tablets, or newer phones, are 1A chargers.

The one that comes with the phone is a 1.8A charger.

That being said, I have also noticed that any previous CABLE I have tried, including ones that are for a Nexus 7 or 10 tablet, even when plugged into the OEM charger, say "slow charging mode"

The funny thing is, if I use the OEM cable and plug it into any charger I have, ranging from .5A, to .75A, and 1A, it doesn't say "slow charging mode" even though, technically, it is.
[G2 General] jasonsf:
Samsung phones often trigger different modes by putting resisters of different sizes between the pins in the cables. Not sure if that is the case here, but it could be that the cables need to be specially modified for fast charging mode.

[G2 General] lumpysherman:
Overall thumbs up or keep looking?

So it sounds like purchasing a second OEM wall charger should be a priority, one for home and one for work. I could just use the OEM at work and slow charge overnight with my legacy wall chargers.

How about mobile chargers? I just purchased a moto mobile for my GNex, don't feel like dropping more ca$h on a new one.

My local VZW store doesn't have any in stock so I may purchase online just to make sure I keep my unlimited data. Sucks that it won't get here until next week.

[G2 General] geoff5093:
The slow charging was a downside that I realized today, as I tried it on the same charger as my Note 2 and it was in slow charging mode. This caused me to have some doubts about charging it in the car without buying a charger from them, hoping a generic USB cable will work.

Overall though I love the phone! I think it's great that the Verizon version has wireless charging.
[G2 General] jspradling7:
Double tap to put it to sleep only works on the stock launcher for me. Apex and Nova both override the knock knock.

From Verizon's description page (look under Specs/Web [stupid place for it]):

Micro USB 3.0 high–speed charging

So "Slow Charging" would be just like when you were charging your Note or older device. Which is why it is called slow.

Couple things I have noticed so far....

3) you can get rid of the qslide by editting the quick settings, showing the qslide button then tapping it, then remove it.

4) the gps icon seems to always show, no matter what i do.

5) long pressing the home button brings up the task manager

I try to stay away from USB transfer nowadays for devices without an SD card. Go download FTP Server from the Play Store, then FileZilla (or some other FTP client) for your PC and transfer that way. A LOT faster than using the USB Media connection. Both phone and pc must be on the same network.

Could you explain #3 more? I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying we can remove the qslide shortcuts from the notification shade? If so, how?

The quick buttons above the qslide, if you swipe it all the way to the right is an edit. Go in there and check qslide. Then come out, disable the qslide button, then just go back into the edit for the quick buttons and remove the qslide from there too.

Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

Yes as long as you stay within this forum you'll be fine. I can't answer the other question because best/most stable/favourite ROM questions are against the rules. Each user will experience each ROM differently anyway because each user will use them differently. The correct answer to the question is to look up a few and see which ones might suit you, flash them and you'll find out pretty quickly which ROM(s) will suit you best. Flashing new/different ROMs is half the fun anyway.
