[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhodak:
Hi ,

Yes you can repair this problem. Besides the option of buying a new flex cable for 50-80 USD, I found in this very same forum a thread where somebody posted a picture and indications about how to repair the flex that contains the power button.

If you disassemble your N1 and remove the large flex that carries the power switch you will notice that i has two large connectors on the bottom end.

One of these has 44 pins (two rows of 22 pins). In the top row of this connector, counting from the right the pin number 10 is the one that turns the nexus one ON/OFF

The switch does this only by connecting it mmomentarily to ground.

TO FIX IT:

All you need is a fine end soldering iron, a good lens, a T5 screw driver, soldering wire and adhesive tape. And most importantly 20 cm of very thin magnet wire (enamelled copper wire of about 30 to 50 micrometers in diameter (it is thicker than hair do not worry).

Then solder an end of the wire to the pin #10 as counted in the way i described. route and tape the wire along the flex until you get to the switch.

the switch has 4 pins one pair is ground, the others go to pin #10 in the 44 pin connector. The ones that are gong to the pin #10 are actually on the side of the switch that has a golden "[" bracket. Solder the end of the wire that comes from pin #10 to any of these two pins of the switch. This completes one part of the process. (the most difficult).

The back of the board that holds the switch has a large ground plane. Solder a second piece of wire to this golden pad. From there, stretch about 30 mm of wire towards the upper corner of the logic board, and solder the end of it to the round golden pad where a screw goes. This is a ground point.

Reassemble the phone. Your power switch should now work again.

I hope this helps.

This may seem obvious to the tech savvy but not to all.

I bought a new flex cable/board on ebay. It was supposed to be new but it is obviously used. I have my doubts that it works. I am trying to test it before installing. If I press the power button, pin 10 (as described) should be electrically connected to ground, right? This is not the case with the board I have. Is the connection between pin 10 and the switch a direct trace on the ribbon cable or is something else involved? is there a diode or anything else in this circuitry? Does the battery holder come into play?

Other information. My phone does power on with the charger/remove/replace battery trick. All other buttons work.

If so can someone link me to directions on how to do it. I bought a evolution last aug and I googled this topic but couldn't find anything bit telus to sprint.. thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Technically, it is possible, but getting Sprint to do it is way more hassle than it's worth. Sprint generally does not allow people to bring devices into their network if it is not Sprint branded. I would suggest either asking about this at PPC Geeks or on Sprint's website in their forum.

[XPERIA X8 General] guitarded068:
I agree. This was my first smartphone, so I had no idea what I was getting; I just wanted a dirt cheap android phone I could mess around with. With all the mods, hacks, and especially racht's custom ROMs (I couldn't believe how crappy the stock ROM was compared to those) I've been able to experiment with, I have a much better idea of what I want out of my next android phone and what it will be capable of. As for SE, you're right: never again.
[XPERIA X8 General] Defenistrator:
Agreed. I've just installed my first ROM (2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12) on my X8 and there is no way i am going back to the original!! Works great apart from a few setbacks like vibration not working, unable to move apps to SD and locks on its own sometimes while i'm using it. But having said that it's still much better than the stock OS!!

4 months, so you probably have one of the first Desire HD's. It's possible you have a bad camera. You better contact the shop or HTC.

I think they'll fix it or give you a new device.

I just got the HTC Inspire, three days ago, and I just noticed last night that I have that pink tinge in the center as well.

Could i rename my nandroid back up folder the ending tree folder that holds the .android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5 and system.img ... like clockworkmod/backup/2010-11-25.05.05.13 could i just pop all those files into a .zip named whatever and direct him to clockwork recovery and flash zip from sd card?

Titanium backup igives you the option to create a update.zip, then it gives you two radio buttons one says titanium backup will be installed as user application and then System application.

I know that the whole create update.zip thing is for flashing it to the rom from recovery. But what is the diffrence bewteen those two options. What is best and what is the diffrence..

By not renaming to update.zip, u can keep multiple versions of backups on ur phone. I tend to take a backup more or less everytime I try to make any changes, like applying themes I do not know, or am not confident of.

Class 10 is way overkill. Class 4 should be fine. Class 6 is recommended for optimal apps2sd use, but a class 4 is just fine. Have the prices on 32GB come down much? I'd love to get my hands on a 64 GB so I can replace my iPod completely, but those are way too expensive.

Max capacity

The HTC Website does state that the maximum microSD storage capacity for this device is 32gb. Does anyone have any idea if the device will support larger cards? I would love to get my hands on a 64gb. I don't mind dropping the cash for a 64gb card, but only if the device will support it.

Anyone else know anything? Would max card size supported be something that's rom dependent or hardware dependent? I'd love to sell my ipod 160gb in favor of using just the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I bought a Class 2, 4, and 10 from Amazon.

All 3 worked fine, with no noticeable performance in copying files to\from while in the device, nor any difference in video\audio playback.

The only difference I could see was when copying files to\from when inserted using an actual memory card reader into my computer. If you don't copy whole music collections daily, there's no benefit to spending extra for Class 10 today.

[HTC Inspire 4G] kravguy:
For the past year, I've had a htc pure. Got really comfortable flashing new roms and customizing. Decided to jump on board the android ship and picked up the inspire a couple of days ago. A few things I'm still unsure about and wanted to get some input:

1. Signal quality. I am constantly dropping to edge where normally I had no problems. a lot of break ups in the middle of calls too. Is this something that a different radio or rom might fix or am I to expect this from now on from this phone? Any ideas on what I should do? Could I have a defective phone?

2. With windows, i was always concerned with running processes/apps. With this, I can't seem to close anything easily. Are taskmanagers good or even needed? What do experienced android users do to keep performance up and battery usage down?

3. Launchers. I liked sense, but I wanted more control and also an easier way to access my apps so I'm using launcher pro and apps organizer. there are several home replacements that seemed to be decent. Any opinions on these? Any chance we'd have anything like cookies mod for sense on android?

4. Last, flashing. Not as straightforward as I had with windows so I'm still trying to understand the lingo. I have been able to sideload apps by connecting to my pc. A pain. I really want to not have to do it that way. Is flashing my only immediate option?

Thanks,

Kravguy

[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
A software update to EB13 (Froyo) is available for the Samsung Epic 4G via Google OTA. Customers will become eligible for the

upgrade across a 4-day period based on their status with the Google servers. 67% of users are currently on SW DI18 so the first

OTA package we will publish will be an upgrade from DI18 – Froyo (DL11). We will be publishing hop upgrades from DG27 – Froyo

and DI07 – Froyo as soon as possible following the initial release

OTA Duration time is dependent on current device usage: 10 – 25 minutes, with installation time of 6-8 minutes

that was from the PDF, so, according to the upgrade process info page, the first leak, most OTA updates download automatically, unless you have some setting preventing it. It says it will take time listed above. DI18 to EB13 (DL11 is old) is the first, of three different updates to come out, then they will do DG27, and DI07, which, most people are not on anymore... guess its for newly activated old stock laying around somewhere. So there will only be one download, it will do it itself in the background, take 6-8 mins to install, reboot, Froyo. Its not like a PS3 update where it takes X amount of time to watch the download screen, cant sign in to PSN until you do it... didnt you ever Odin back to the DG27 from ages ago, and then let it OTA to DI18? Thats probly gone now, but thats what it would do. Given its done right, its way easier than what I have heard of the kies stuff... of course the easiest way would be an update.zip from here, that is pre-rooted... minimal modification... Im hoping someone can do that, even keep the bloatware, just make it removable... that would be sweet... there are nascar fans who understand android! LOL just kiddin... but a rooted, maybe deodexed (you themers need someone to do that first, right?), but no ROM... then let people have at it. I just cant wait for the craziness that will ensue in Development after monday, if it comes thru... General will go back to being a ghost town... just update the 2.2 ***** thread to 2.3, or whatever...

now that I think of it, there should be a new 2.2 dev section... that way people dont go trying to use joeykrimms OG root on 2.2 or something... plus some of the rom threads are becoming their own wikis... time to start fresh!
