*sigh*

This has been asked over, and over, and over, and over. I'm going to create a macro if this keeps up...

First, try a profile and PRI update, then shut off your phone, yank the battery for a few minutes, then turn it back on and see if you can roam.

If you can't roam, you will need to do a Nandroid backup (or a Titanium Backup), call Sprint (dial *2), get to EVO technical support, and just tell them the truth: Your PRI just got upgraded, and now you're getting a message from Verizon that VZW can't authorize your phone whenever you roam, and that data connections won't go through. (Yes, tell them all that, EXACTLY like that) They'll do something on their end (from what I hear, they'll refresh/reset your profile). Most likely the tech will have you do a factory data reset which will wipe your data and might make your phone go through Handsfree Activation again.

Once your phone reboots, you should have PRI 1.40, and be able to roam. Tested true on CyanogenMod6.

I would also like to add that you might have to call a few times as some of the reps don't know what the hell they are doing. I had to go through 3 reps until they finally fixed the issue

When I try to open a secure site I get an error saying that it can't open it

Also which browser you guys use?
[Vibrant General] woodie:
I personally use Opera and have had no issues browsing secure sites since I picked up my Vibrant last Friday.

Edit: I'm rooted and also have the lagfix applied, if either of those have any bearing.
[Vibrant General] SuperMiguel:
I just tried another browser (dolphin hd) and same thing. And this happens on both kind of connection. My tmobile internrt and my wireless connection
[Vibrant General] SuperMiguel:
At it only happens with few secure sites

Hey guys, is there any news on screen replacements for the samsung vibrant?

I Just got my Vibrant, and a day before i got my shield, i got a fat ass scratch on my screen. It's really really noticeable . Is there anyway i could get a screen replacement?
[Vibrant Accessories] srqt:
Same thing happened to me, I called t-mo and told them my phone was bricked, they sent me a replacement and I then purposely bricked my phone. Not the most up and up way to deal with it but it worked.
[Vibrant Accessories] JimmyKimChi:
If i say my phone is bricked, dont i have to pay a fee ? and i'll lose all my info on my phone D: like all my apps and settings ..
[Vibrant Accessories] tengtengvn:
Nandroid it.
[Vibrant Accessories] srqt:
I paid no fee. I told them it crashed while I was using my nav app and that it would not boot past the vibrant screen, they had me boot into recovery and reinstall packages I told them it didn't fix anything and I got a new phone in the mail 2 days later.

And like tengtengvn said, just do a nandroid backup and restore it to your new phone when you get it.
[Vibrant Accessories] JimmyKimChi:
How did you brick your phone? I'm about to do this. how do you transfer nandroid bakcups ?
[Vibrant Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
That would be fraud and anyone who advises you on how to do it would be committing a crime as well as violating forums rules.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetx2:
looks like my speaker on my evo is pretty much dead (it's my fault i was dremeling some steel for a good 2-3 hours with my phone next to me listening to music so i could drown out the sound).

Are there any places that carry JUST the speaker at this point?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Huh, didn't realize that you could burn out a speaker by doing that.

At this point, you can try taking it into a Sprint store that has a repair facility and see if they can either sell you the part or replace it. I don't think they have many, if any, parts available yet though. I tried to get just a replacement battery cover and I was out of luck.

Maybe it's a warranty issue instead?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I would ***** and say warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theslicksteve:
speaker

Hi this is an easy fix all you need is a really strong magnet (large rare earth) and place on outside of speaker. Move it around and tap on it a bit. Do it to the front and back speaker. I am am a mechanic and carry my phone everywhere. The magnet pulls the metal off of the weaker speaker magnet pretty easy. Works perfect for me and I have to do it twice a weak. I use a 3/4 x 1 cylinder magnet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetx2:
i've done this already, when i took the speaker out, the speaker was no longer smooth. It had a LOT of marks on it (dented looking) which looks out of place. the speaker sounds very off..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetx2:
ok i called a local sprint repair facility and they are ordering me a new one (out of my 30 day warranty but they looked it up and said it should be ok still). Unfortunately i have a white evo, but we'll see. I don't mind the black one that much.

Looks like this is a common issue on some phones according to the guy, he didn't even ask me anything other than does the speaker sound distorted/blown out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
The same thing happened to a friend of mine, and I told him to deal with it for now or risk getting a phone with 2.2 on it and losing root. He decided his speaker was more important and ended up getting a phone with 2.2 and now is crying about root every day. If your phone is rooted, keep this in mind.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetx2:
I am rooted but at this point the speaker phone is more important. honestly I do not use much of anything other than titanium. I will likely miss tether though but since I only use it once in a blue moon it will be fine.

sent from my htc evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassic:
The 30 day period is only for a replacement because of a defect or return because you're unsatisfied with the phone for any reason. It was nice of Sprint to still honor it however and get you the part.

The EVO still has a 1 year warranty from HTC; this blown speaker would likely be considered a manufacturers defect, in which case even after 30 days you could go through HTC to get a repair.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
Anyone ever find anywhere to buy a replacement speaker? Not the back one, but the earpiece one....?

Mine has "52c10137db" assuming thats a part number. I need a new one mines crackly and I'd rather just fix it myself.
[Desire General] jstdontgiva:
Hey I just received my HTC desire from Canada. I am trying to get it to work with At&t and it was supposed to be the Telus A8182 version. Right now it is not recognizing my sim card even though the device is supposedly unlocked. Because of this I cant access the APN settings to get it to work on AT&T network. I have noticed on the about phone settings that it says A8181 but the seller has told me that this could be due to the rom for the froyo update. I am new to these boards and android phone so any help would be appreciated. Thank You!!
[Desire General] Ehoulston:
Same Problem

I just got the Telus Desire as well and have the exact same problem. Here is what I have done so far and what i posted on another forum:

I just got an HTC Desire that was locked to Telus (Canadian Carrier). I have read that numerous people are using it on Rogers network. From the day I got it when I put my rogers sim card in (the right way) it said "No SIM card in phone" so I could not enter an unlock code. Thinking the SIM was defective went to Telus and tried one of their sim cards and it worked fine, then I went to Rogers thinking it was a problematic card. We tried 4 cards and none of them worked. I then went to Bell (another canadian carrier) and tried their sim card. It worked as well but said that the phone was locked. I purchased an unlock code from the internet which worked. Now the Bell sim card works as well becuase the phone is unlocked. I put my Rogers SIM back into it and it still sais "No SIM card in phone". I also tried a SIM from a european company and it did not work as well. This HTC Desire works on the same 3G 850/1900 GSM that Rogers uses.
[Desire General] opethfan3:
I got my Telus Desire from Best Buy within the first week of release and unlocked it, works fine with my Fido SIM. Before unlocking it it did say "Network Locked".

Edit: Just checked with a deactivated Rogers SIM. Worked fine, notification bar said:

Sorry if this is the wrong subtopic to post this in... I wasn't completely sure.

Here is the scenario:

Droid X

Rooted

Froyo 2.2

No Clockwork

Can't get to a point where I can get RSD to recognize my device.

Tried factory reset

Tried to "update.zip" it.

It will boot up to the "M" screen then just do nothing.

What is the likelihood of un-bricking this?

Solution. [I cannot add a link to an external link] found it over on droid forums
[Droid X General] drewlamo1:
well if factory resets and the update.zip doesnt work, sounds like your only option is to rsd back to 2.1 stock.
[Droid X General] mmaibl2011:
same thing happened to me! I was ****ting bricks till I figured it out. Overall pretty simple, just reflashed the phone with the .sbf file.

[Vibrant Accessories] Maverick777:
There's pictures of the captivate version in the captivate section and it is definitely not real carbon fiber. :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iball8888:
One of the main reasons that people like me got the evo, was for the video chat. Now that Fring no longer uses Skype, that front cam hasn't been touched for a long time.

Is there any other way to video chat with people on the computer? My girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone that can use fring. I was hoping maybe we could use Yahoo or MSN but i can't find one that uses web chat...any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
You could use Sipdroid if you both have SIP accounts, and the one on her end supports video chat.

(SIP is an open framework, more like email; it's not a closed network like AIM, YIM, WLM, etc.)

I've tried this a bunch of different ways and I'm unable to install any .apk that I download. I haven't tried downloading the .apk on my computer first though. So here's what I've tried;

Standard web browser - can't download says file not supported

Dolphin HD - able to download, get parse error installing from dolphin. No install button for APK in Astro File Manager

Xscope - able to download, parse error on install. Install button for APK in Astro File Manager but does not install

I do have the install unknown sources option turned on in application settings.

What am I missing here? I am rooted but nothing has been done since rooting.

Download the Astro Manager from the market. Then go to settings and enable browser download.

It could be an error with the apk itself. I get those errors sometimes where certain apks don't download correctly. Try another apk and see what happens.

[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
You're misunderstanding him. He's trying to download a file and he's saying what happens when he tries to download this file on all these different browsers. He already has the browsers installed. ;)

I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ LOL, son of a bitc*... yeah, my bad OP... I was trying to figure out WTH you were doing.

Yes, I would recommend what another person said and get Astro and turn on the browser download option.

The error messages are for not a complete download (at least thats what I normally get in those situations).

I tried searching, but I guess that I am not phrasing what I need correctly. I am bouncing from ROM to ROM trying to find that perfect one. The problem is with each new ROM I have to go through the tedious task of re-installing all of my favorite apps and setups. Is there a way that I can back up the apps and install in whatever new ROM that I choose? I think that I tried just a simple "back-up" apps option on the phone, but the problem was that the apps seem to not have a connection with the market anymore...meaning no updates. Any help or link would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfunk:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
Titanium Backup does just this. Just don't use it to blindly restore all your settings if the backup was made on a different ROM than the one you're restoring to, or you're likely to have issues.

Hi BaNaNaBeck, in the EU the 2 year warranty always applies, so Austria is one of them.

So if you call HTC they will create a ticket and it might get picked up for free (like in the Benelux).

[Android Apps and Games] SMS92:
Hi all!

I'm virtually 100% an Android convert, putting it on my HD2 a week ago and barely looking back!

One of the few things I do need Windows Mobile for, though, is using a small application called LowCaller (lowcaller.com). This allows me to call contacts via my Voipcheap account but rather than going via the internet connection (WiFi, 3g) it calls a 020 (London) number and then directs me to the person I'm calling.

This means I get perfect quality international calls no matter where I am and I only use my inclusive contract minutes.

I've tried to contact LowCaller via their website but I can't get through to them (the damn verification code is always apparently wrong!) so can't find out if they have an Android version in the pipeline. They appear to support WM, iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian so an Android version would be very logical on their part!

Any alternatives?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
I tried SipDroid with my SIP.

Can't hear anything on my end, maybe you have better results?
[Android Apps and Games] thaikinh:
You can try Nimbuzz or Fring, and then add your VoipIP provider
[Android Apps and Games] SMS92:
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions but these apps/messengers are solely for calling via Voip directly to another party, as opposed to calling a local number which then, via my Voip account, directs to another party (meaning that I can do it from anywhere without the need for an internet connection, and with perfect results - no lag, cut outs, etc.)

LowCaller is fantastic because I've driven around towns and countryside in England while talking via bluetooth to my friend in Canada on her mobile - the quality was practically like that of any normal call!

It works like this,

I select 'Call via LowCaller' from my phonebook > My phone calls an 020 London number owned by LowCaller > The call gets routed to the number of the person I'm calling and I lose my inclusive minutes just like any normal call.
[Android Apps and Games] bgoldie:
I think rebtel might do what you need
[Android Apps and Games] nispen:
I use jajah (jajah.com) . It works like you described. Sort of. They give you a local nr for all your foreign contacts. So there is no app but you just dial the unique local nr and your friend in timbuktu answers the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] midowazzan:
LowCaller

Come on guys!!

The guys is asking you about LowCaller in Android, and you recommend jahjah and Rebtel!!!!

JahJah and rebtel make a newnumber for each contact!! This is pain. You dont want to make a new number for each contact!!

We dont want to use 3g or wifi! we want to use a landline number.

So please, if you know anything exactly similar to lowcaller, please answer. Otherwise, DO NOT give bad recommendations!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Android Apps and Games] bgoldie:
Afaik, rebtel does exactly what he asked for. I don't think you need to set up different no.s for different contacts, it just routes all international calls through a local no.
[Android Apps and Games] nispen:
OK, I won't.
[Android Apps and Games] SMS92:
Bump!

Still no Android support from LowCaller. Any developments here guys?

Remember I'm after a LowCaller-type setup, i.e. I'm using my contract minutes to call a national number that will connect me to another number via my Voip account.

So stuff that simply makes calls via WiFi/3g isn't what I'm after (but thanks for the suggestions)

Peace :)

Edit:

It's been a while but I tried rebtel out and I couldn't see any options for this? Just direct WiFi/3g calling? :(
