Agreed. But it looks HORRIBLE when combined with the rest of the poop and pumpkin theme. These dudes need to just stick to one color pallet, it's ridiculous.

I installed the OTA this morning and now phone says my sd card is damaged and i may need to reformat it. Help please. Thanks

Ugh... Had that happen on my Eris and eventually (after like 15 more reformats) the entire SD corrupted and needed to be replaced. I don't have a good suggestion for you, but I think you'll probably need to format it. Good luck.

It is a 16 gig card and it is half full, what do i do with all the files on it???

You can try to unmount and remount

That's a good bet. You can also try to read them on your PC if you have a SD to USB option.
If nothing works, you may be SOL I'm sorry to say. If it make you feel any better, I don't back up my SD card either and would be just as screwed...
Try mounting and unmounting or try the PC. Otherwise, maybe hang tight to see if a more experienced bro has some better advice.

Nice. If you've got it on your computer, drag that stuff to a folder on your PC. Then just let the phone reformat it. After the reformat, transfer your files back.
When you hook the phone to the computer, make sure you mount the SD with Android. Then, when you're done, make sure you EJECT the SD card before using Android to unmounting from the computer. That will help assure that you don't have corruption issues moving forward.

thanks for the info, gonna try putting files on comp then letting phone reformat card then put files back on card and see what happens. will post back later

Anyone know how long the update takes to install? My phone has been sitting on the black screen with little Droid dude and the triangle containing exclamation point for a solid 20 minutes now.

You're probably good. It definitely takes a longish time (maybe 25-30 minutes)?

That's what I was worried about. Don't have time for that until this weekend, going to have to put up with the irritating update popup until then... Unless someone knows how to disable it? I looked for some kind of update app tp freeze, no such luck.

Hmm, Tapatalk didn't give me the option to edit for some reason. Honestly, I'd have no problem sticking with froyo if i could disable the updater. My phone works about perfectly at this point.

Just did mine. Took 17 mins update before auto reboot.
I rebooted prior to accepting update and let things stabilize before pulling the trigger.
Seems all is well. Not rooted.

[Q] Any way to turn this into a tablet with WiFi only?

This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.

A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.

Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.

Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.

Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.
Edit: and you couldn't have read to much or you would have been able to root it. Well then again, you were calling your recovery touchwiz in another thread soooo... I'm guessing you have some trouble grasping things at times.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.

[Q] Where is the "storage" in skyrocket? (hardware)

my phone has been hard bricked. repair costs like $50, im not going to repair it.
im going to sell my skyrocket i727 to someone, but he only need the screen.
but i have some emails attached to google play in that phone, im worried he might get access to the applications and emails.
i have also pattern type lock screen.
im planning to destroy the "storage" hardware in it, hard disk?
so anyone give me hint where does all the data is saved? so i can destroy it.

There isn't a hard disk it's an emmc chip attached to the mobo.

oh, so all the data is saved on emmc chip, is there a guide on how to remove it ?

How about just taking the motherboard out before you sell it? Or...take the screen off and just sell it. Easy!

I'm not sure it'd work for you but you could try downloading Dumpster from Google play. The only thing is idk if it recovers deleted files or it recovers files deleted after the app is installed.

At least they would tell you if that sector has been overwritten or not.

[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus

The first thing to do would be to STOP USING THE PHONE. The more you use it, the higher the chance of the data being overwritten and thus unrecoverable. Remember, "deleting" something only marks it as available on the disk/flash memory.

http://www.icare-recovery.com/free/android-data-recovery-freeware.html
As above, if you carry on using the phone there's a chance you might write over the deleted file, any chance of recovery then becomes much more difficult, maybe even impossible. Try some of the software that's been mentioned above, if the files not been overwritten you should have a good chance of recovery.

correct as the past few posts say if you havnt overwritten that area of your internal storage where the video was saved you should no problem using some recovery tools to get the deleted information. I work as a security analyst doing forensics and e-discovery. I recommend the program r-studio to recovery deleted information. you will have to pay for it unless you can find a free copy on the internet.. lol but you can also get a trial of it which will let you recovery files smaller than like 1mb which might not help you but you can at least use the trial to determine if the video is recoverable.

You can also use diskdigger. The free version should do what you need it to

Thank all of you for your help. I tried several tools, with varying results.
Sadly I can't seem to get anything watchable back. I got a couple of bruises and my jaw still kinda hurts, but it's nothing permanent.
I got an app that can undo removal of photos and videos for the next time something like this happens, also I should be more carefull not to put myself in harms way again. People are unpredictable.
