Hassle free experience

I have concluded that unless you want to spend days tweaking your phone, it is worth it to go with a Google experience device, like the Nexus.

1. Get a phone, tweak it once, and use it (like 90% of us do). Flashing newer modems on a perfectly working phone is your issue, not the phone's.
2. Keep your personal decisions to yourself instead of creating a useless thread here that is more likely to attract flaming.

My 2 Cents
Not really sure if the desire to constantly flash & tweak my phones is actually classified as a compulsive illness or not, but to me that's half the fun. I don't think I have any phone more than a day before it's rooted/jailbroken or otherwise cid-unlocked/no longer stock.

Step 1: Go on Craigslist.
2: Find a Nexus for $400.
3: Contact seller and set up meet.
4: Blow him and get the Nexus for $350.
5: Quit your *****ing and get off the Infuse forum.
6: Winning.

You think you're keeping your flash counter at zero by using a USB jig every time you Odin but then find out that flashing custom kernels like Da_G's cm7 kernel do in fact trip the counter even in cwm.
(Now I don't give a crap, I'm gonna see how high I can make this counter go!)
(Oh, and "Formatted /system and forgot to put the new rom on your sd card."--yep, I've done that a few times. Doh! Back to stock...)

Your wife orders the Note on her upgrade and then gloats about how awesome it will be and that I should have waited.

I think the best part is that I've almost saved enough for the Transformer Prime. One more short side job and I should have enough. I'll prolly keep saving though to get the keyboard dock with it. Can't wait~!

It's sad when we have all this video we want to watch on your SR but you don't have the opportunity to enjoy it because we live in a country where we have to do the driving pretty much every where we go. I got to live in Korea for a year just this past year. I enjoyed riding the subway. Never ran out of content to watch on my Galaxy S.

Its sad when you actually trip your flash counter for the first time.

Grabbed this (see sig) galaxy tab 10.1 when I returned prime. Currently running romans aokp build on it which is full ics with his tweaks and man I will tell u I am shocked by it on just a tegra 2 there is very little problems here although the camera currently doesn't work with this or cm9.... but I definitely understand the hard to wait game the transformer prime was bad ass but the wifi was absolutely useless on it once u got about 10 feet from the router no joke it went from 20 mb/s to 3 mb/s at about 15 feet away besides the wifi which is needed obviously and the GPS which I didn't really care the tfp was excellent and game play was second to none but that one design flaw ruined it.

Samsung Infuse 4G won't boot!

A few months ago my brother's Samsung Infuse 4G "stopped working" and he went ahead and bought an iPhone 4. I'm now in possession of it and I can't get it to boot. I stuck it's battery in my Samsung Galaxy Note and the battery seemed fine so... Anyways Here's what it does when you try to turn it on: youtu.be/xNpmvbVpMJk
I'm really not sure what my brother did to it and he probably won't tell me...
Any ideas guys?

Well I just flashed it to stock firmware using download mode and upon rebooting it, it does the exact same thing...

Well now it's being iffy and SOMETIMES booting, but only with the USB cable plugged in.

Try this and click the flash boot loader check box should fix it

Hah bro this user just got it, he's still in the "look at this bigass screen!" phase.

Touchscreen issues.

Hello xda. Let me get straight to the point. My mom, step sister, brother and cousin all have the EVO shift. My cousin is on his 6th. My bros on his 3rd. Sisters on her 3rd and now my mom is getting her second. All do to touchscreen malfunction. I attached some pictures of the dead spot on the phone. Not only can I not touch there but sometimes when the phones just sitting there it'll touch random spots. Is there a fix to this? Maybe running an RUU?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

I've had the same problem in the same spot since I got my phone. Sprint and Wirefly screwed me out of insurance... So I just work around it by rotating the screen.
Changing the build.prop helps. Change windowsmgr.maxevents to 240. If you're not rooted you are outta luck tho, no update is gonna fix that.

The phones did work good for a while but then after time the touch just starts dying. Almost a total of 12 phones have had the same problem. Although phone with keyboards tend to malfunction more than bar phones.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

Yeah that is usually the flex cable but mine had a small dead line across the screen and progressively got worse. My wife's does too but hers happened after getting dropped in a drink lol. I'll just say I have done a lot with Android and I can't fix this problem, it is a hardware issue, no software will fix it.

That's what had happened to a few of the shifts. The cable started to crease and that shorted the screen to a point where it was unusable.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

It's defiantly a Hardware issue. Usually the Flex Cable. I've had them bought to me for repair acting just like yours. Usually end up replacing the Digitizer also. Because people tend to bang on the Screen harder, thinking that that will make it work. Which does nothing but cause more damage. If you have TEP, take it in. Just make sure to RUU before you take it in.

After the third time for the same issue you can request a NEW one. They may not be to happy to oblige, but if you stay on them they should do it. Also after the third time for the same issue, you can request a different device. It would be without a penalty. Meaning you should not have to use your Upgrade.

Either im really lucky or really careful, because nothing has gone bad on my shift except the battery. And that's after two years.

Maybe I'm just paranoid but if the person selling doesnt say what all the little problems are, then those could turn into bigger problems for me
At least with Sprint theres the guarantee that I can always pull the unhappy paying customer card

Yep, I've already downoaded the Canadian TWRP (since ATT doesn't have one yet) and Slim Bean 4.2.2.
Just waiting on the hack to be released. Dude isn't holding it back for just nothing I'm sure. Prolly is making sure it works consistently on all phones before releasing.
The thing about software hacks... just because it works on one model of phone, doesn't mean it won't break another phone of the SAME model. Stuff like that happens all the time.
Btw, thanks a lot. Now I have three freakin threads on Bootloader that I have to keep refreshing all day.
