See if you can update it to the latest firmware and then make a factory reset. If it still isn't better, go back and exchange it.

sorry it was late when I post this but the runny v3.3 rcmix3d is in the desire hd thread. But yeah it could be in the build prop settings but be careful with the change but im sure it has something to do with the I D of the phone in your file explorer in the sys folder you will see the buil.prop once your their you will see all the way to the bottom stuff like ro.model.= as example. I also have inspire 4g and i had this issue but when Capychimp updated his rom it was fix

hi negrobembon.. i already did this and it still doesnt work. this is very crazy.. one a side note, i saw the pics you provided of your phone. can you please tell me what font youre using on it? thanks.
I was getting same problem and it was getting annoying. I fixed it by logging into the android market on the web and tried to install an app that said not compatible. Hope that helps.

How did you install a non compatible app from web Market?
I also cannot install a number of apps from phones Market and web Market...
ROM: Hyperdroid_Androidmed_v2.8.7
Using old market fixes the dpi problem on phone.

Too Many App Freeze on ICS

Hello,
This is my first post here. I hope you guys can help.
I updated to official ICS release recently from 2.3.6 (if i remember correctly). Since then I get too many application freezes. Generally games like DrawSomething, Plants vs Zombies... get frozen. I need to close the frozen app from task mngr and re-open it.
Anyone else having the similar problem or can you guys suggest me something to fix this error?
Thanks so much for all replies.

I would uninstall all the apps you don't use regularly
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Thanks for all replies. So by "wipe" you mean uninstalling every app?
Sorry if I sound stupid. I am kinda new to phone terminology.
I have many apps. I use them all I guess. :-/

Seems like "wipe" is the only solution for me atm.
Could you please suggest me a back up app? And maybe a good "wipe" walkthrough forum topic link?

Google play / marketplace. Server error (solved)

Any solutions on this problem.
When i open my google play or marketplace it always say server error. Last night i just dl opera mini then the next day it is always server error. Im also amazed by this problem because i googled this one but almost all post related to this cannot be solved. I tried clearing the data of the app. Reboot. But still no avail. I just want to get a clean answer , so all android users experiencing this would also benefit. Thanks
Solved: flashed my s2 woth speedmod kernel then flash after rooting. Install marketplace enabler. Working now

Try clearing Google Play Store and Google Framework Services data in: settings>applications>manage applications>(find both and select the "clear data" button). See if that helps.

Okay, try this: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list
This app basically fools your Android phone and sets different provider/area that you are using.
When you run the app go to Setting list tab and chose one of providers, you will need to press and hold on your chosen provider/area! And chose “fake this provider now” option. (your play app needs to be shutdown before this step for this to work)

Use faster fix if you want to configure WiFi region
doesnt faster fix just allow to set a custom NTP server for AGPS?

It just sets the region pool, which I'm guessing is what he was possibly trying to do, back in the day it was how you did it, by editing GPS configuration.xml
ok thx for the replies, ya probably if the phone works everything is fine
