Dead XDA Data usless - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

OK so my XDA is never comming back to life. I can almost live with that.
That data I had on my SD card is still in the format for the XDA. how do I convert it back to be read on my computer. I am talking about the windoes app files like word and excel. As well as the note files.
Please and thank you
I still don't understand how it can have passed all the hardware test in bootloader and say the GSM is OK but stop at the welcome to T mobile screen and show the three lines in the lower right hand corner that gives the versions for the ROM and such. But then just stop there.

I 'm not sure what was the case, but haven't you tried SD flashing ? .. what's yoru bootloader version ?
for your SD files, if they are not so personal or confidential, you can give this SD to a friend who has XDA and ask them to send you the files by e-mail from their PC

I have SD flashed 2 or 3 diffrent versions to no avail. Boot loader is 5.22

Free XDA that don't/won't/can't work. It now includes a broken screen and a case that has seen better days. All it will cost is shipping. Unless you live close to Omaha, Nebraska and want to pick it up. Charger, Rino skin case, and what ever else I can find that came with it will be included.

I freaking deleted it on accident, not the apk. But the whole MOVIE.
If anyone could upload it please, i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks!
i understand that the movie comes with vibrant, but it is still copyrighted material; uploading or hosting it would be against the rules, not to mention the law
I know, but damn I want it back lol..
i saved it to the internal memory and sdcard before i rooted it using the included files app
I should have done that, but oh well. Are there any on the web?
T-Mobile will put it back on for you.
tmobile is the worst service ever and have horrible customer service

Or, worst case scenario, grab you a program that recovers deleted data from removable memory. There's a million of them out there and unless you formatted the card a dozen times or filled it slap full, it'll likely be easily recoverable.
Why do people keep saying T-mobile will give you Avatar back again? Maybe if we have one in returns but we don't just have a copy of the movie laying around to transfer it back onto your phone. Sorry its gone for good, go buy the movie and rip it to your computer. Then put it back on your phone.

Unless the tmobile employees are ****ing retards at your store they do keep an sdcard with the movie on it. I know this for a fact!

No, we don't. If the customer deletes the file themselves manually or through a factory reset we have been advised not to replace it. We had to many people selling HD2s on ebay & craigslist and keeping the memory card. Then the new owner expected us to transfer the missing movie to their replacement cards.

We don't just have an SD car laying around but we will swap out sd cards if we have one in return. It not my job to keep one on hand for retards that delete their crap.
You'd be better off doing like someone suggested and ripping the DVD on your computer and putting it on your sd card.
too bad..
What a great movie.
Dances with smerfs sucked anyways
Craped from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Anyone notice this prick was using a captivate with xda app? it said it was sent using his I897. He just wanted the avatar movie for free...
Edit: it appears he has removed the post that showed he was using a captivate...but I assure you he was

Please help me fix my camera! Black patch..

Hi All,
I just bought the Photon 4G day before night and am loving it
But I realized that camera is showing a black patch on the screen... Its there in the file even when i take snaps as well as record videos Its set there permanently (same spot). Its somewhat translucent.
Please can anyone help me out fixing it cause its disappointing me somewhat
I have attached few images to let you guys know how it looks..
Oh and I think I dont need to point out the location of this ****. Its at the same spot in all the three images. In the second pic below the androids right leg...
P.S. Tried resetting the phone to factory setting, tried removing the battery.. No warranty for the phone. Bought it from Ebay India. Its the USA Sprint phone..
If cleaning does not help guess you will need a new one.

I did try cleaning it. The glass is absolutely flawless. So the main sensor / chip is defective i guess. I came across people facing, if not the same, but similar issues with their Android phones. I am not sure.
I hope I see someone who could manage to fix it or I'm totally out of luck. Have to live with that ass forever lol. Hope it doesnt expand any more!!!
you already stated you cleaned it ,so I will not beat that dead horse. If I were a betting man (I'm not really) I would say you have one of two issues.
1. (and I hope its not this) that phone was dropped and something broke or cracked internally.
2. Someone took it apart and lint or dust got between the lenses. Good Luck.
Althought #1 is possible, everyone I know with high end Smartphone treats them like 2 month old babies!

I dont think it has fallen... Its absolutely without any scratches or anything anywhere.. ANd the mark looks like a tiny butterfly! lol which is kinda transparent. I tried manually makin some marks on the camera lens with a blue marker pen, but that doesnt look the same at all. it just brings a blue hue (ink color) on the image. You cant see it as a mark (spot like in this case)..
And I'd like to mention one more thing. This thing, when I zoom it to the next level, it moves to the left and when I zoom it even more, it gets off the screen! (outside)Funny!
And about the dust thing, I really doubt..
Looks like dust on the sensor cant do ne thing unless u dismantle the whole camera module.

Strange I must say. We have Digital Zoom, not Optical. Is your phone Rooted with stock ROM?
Have you tried shaking it to see if the spot will move ??

I agree with farookh. If this were an SLR, I would say dust on the sensor and give you pointers on how to clean it. Since the sensor is internal here, you probably need to return it and get a new one versus voiding any warranty by trying it yourself.

Read his original post last sentence. No warranty, he got it from E-Bay in India.
OK. Let me tell a trick as former sprint store manager. I just used this to replace my epic so I know it still works.
If you have to phone active on your account call technical support about the phone. Tell them you are calling because a Rep at the store instructed you to call and do a "advanced exchange" on your device. Tell tech support that the store couldn't fix it and didn't have a replacement phone for you. Say they wouldn't exchange for new device and gave u a hard time. It is important to sound like your very unhappy. If they mention insurance, say your phone didn't qualify because the phone suffered no damage, it is a manufacturer defect as told to you by the repair Rep.
They may attempt to ask you what store u went to. Cut them off and say sir, I am not dealing with store again. U going in circles and feel everyone is spinning u and don't want to replace phone.
They will process advanced exchange and you swap phones through mail. They will send new one and you ship back old one.

If its dust and we only have digital zoom, shouldn't the spot still remain even after zooming? why does it move outwards
And I noticed 1 more thing yesterday... When I focus the camera (specifically that point!!) towards the sun, the spot just dissolves in the light and is not visible... Same is the case when I point it towards some very bright source.

Its stock ROM. I tried using a couple of camera apps, but still no luck. The spot appears on all. Do these apps use the same module used by the Default camera App? If yes, is there a way to reinstall the module.

Motorola India told me that they cant help me as this phone hasnt released here. They have no hardware and software support. They want me to co-ordinate with Motorola USA.
And when I lookup my phone's IMEI on motorola, I see that it is under warranty till Oct 2012...
Do you think I can get a replacement being here in India. I have the box, the manual and the handset.
I would snail mail moto and get a RMA or something in writing.

yep it was a fake but i didn't know that until yesterday. Luckily i know someone who like to mess around with phones and take them to bits. The phone cost me around £65. hegave me £30 for it. so not to much of a bad thing, but learned a valuable lesson
anyway thanks for getting back to me

That's okay, next time ensure you buy genuine mobiles only. These Chinese ones have really shoddy build quality, I hope your mistake will help others avoid this loophole.

[Q] 8gb over 16gb

so my nook color went belly up on me.. my geek squad warranty got me a full replacement or exchange for an upgrade. so i took upgrade.. but i did little to no research as i had expected them to just fix it.. so asking the sales rep when isaw the tablets i asked " whats the diff from the 8gb to 16gb" his reply "storage space" .. now i come home head to xda only to find out theres a ram difference.. question is.. is there a huge difference in the ram usage? do any android apps really need more then 512 ram? or should i just fork over the extra 50 bucks and get the 16gb
my two cents worth, pay the fifty to get the sixteen . . .
If you ask me, the extra $50 is worth it. You have double the storage and double the RAM. In addition, development on the 16GB model is further along and you'd have more choices of ROMs and get better support if you're stuck. This is just my opinion though.

It shouldn't matter. They just pop their SD card in and you wait till it's finished, then you're out of there.
Or could you repartition it yourself.

dont need BNs warranty i have the geek squad "i can drive over it with a truck then take a hammer to it" warranty. just curious if registering has anything to do with flashing the internal memory
If you plan on flashing over the internal OS, there is no need to register. When I got my nook, I made a bootable sdcard with CWM, booted into it, mounted to my PC, transferred CM7 to the internal storage and flashed it. From there I eventually flashed CM9 and only saw the B&N OS when I tested albert's nandroid backup.
tl;dr no need to register if you plan on flashing a rom.

[Q] S3 wont switch on, charge :/

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 that does not switch on, or charge. Full disclosure; I bought it second hand in full cognisance of this fact*, but I really thought it was a software glitch or something I could fix with a hard reset. The reason for this is the guy I bought it from swears blind it's not water-damaged, which I've verified by checking the moisture sensors. So, I tried a hardware reset (volume up+power button+home button) but nothing. So, does anyone know what it could be other than water-damage**?
*Yes, I'm aware it was stupid. But it was really cheap, and I have very poor impulse control. I'm like a cat, you can't dangle something like that in front of me and not expect me to pounce on it ;p
**Screen appears to be in perfect condition.
Take the battery out and look at the model number....im worried your the victim of a chinese dud!

Nope, it's got Samung logos and all that; it says the SSN is I9300GSMH, which as far as I'm aware is the real deal. I've also checked the IMEI, and it corresponds to a real SGS3. So what is wrong with it?

As previously discussed in another thread, the chinese fakes look the real deal, all branding, samsung logos, model numbers etc match up to actual s3 devices, but the hardware is fake 540x960 display, 512mb ram etc....seriously worth looking into buddy

Impossible to tell unless it switches on though.
I've compared it to the (apparently) real S3 in this video, and while everything seems to match up with mine, one thing is the microSD card slot and SIM tray have weird blue windows in them, which looks a bit suspicious. Did anyone else's phone arrive with these? It looks like they're replacements.
I don't want to sound too depressing but some of us have had our phones completely die for no reason after a few months. Mine's currently at the service centre and others who have had theirs back say that the circuit board was replaced. Mine didn't get wet, or dropped, it just stopped working.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
That *is* mildly depressing but if it comes to that I suppose all I can do is return it or sell it on as spares, try to get the money back :/ (all while hoping it *is* genuine)
(The circuit boards are really expensive to replace, also.)
Update: (like anyone's interested, but anyway) got my USB jig today, plugged it in following the method on this forum, but nothing. Not really surprised tbh.
Going to try a new battery next, but seriously doubt it'll come back to life at this stage. Thanks for the suggestions and comments anyway, and if any users have anything not covered already, just post it below. Thnx
Thought I'd update this again to report the lack of success of a battery switch....again, not really surprising.
I also need to reiterate the point that mine arrived with what looks like a replacement SIM tray/sdcard slot rig, such as those you see on eBay. I'm not sure whether to take this as suspicious or...what, and am now just ready to give up entirely on the phone. Any advice before I do this would be welcome
Do you mean those translucent blue stickers on the sim and micro sd slots? My phone came back from the service centre with these too (which definitely weren't there when I took it in)
