Droid DNA was a good phone - HTC please fix what you have broken

I just got the latest update and I really don't care for the new interface.  I have talked to Verizon and HTC and both say the only way to get the older version is to root the phone which will take it out of warranty.   Not that I really care about the warranty however I will need to spend more time than I care to just go back to a version that worked properly.   Easier to just get a new phone, granted I will need to learn the new phone but at least it will be an upgrade so the investment of my time will seem worth it. 
What upsets me the most is they will not let me go back to my previous version.  I would be perfectly happy with the version I was running before.  It had it's issues but I was used to them.  The latest upgrade has changed things that I used daily for fixes that I rarely or never use.  For example, the landscape keyboard is broken, I cannot see the P and L keys.  The person at HTC recommended I find another keyboard online and download it.  Not the answer I expected from the manufacturer but it does help me make a decision.
I was planning on getting the HTC One next but after this I will be getting another phone (sooner than planned) and it will not be a phone from HTC.   It may not even be an Android phone, maybe Windows 8.  I have heard the latest iPhone upgrade was subpar as well.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?

    My iPhone is split from front panel on top, and back cover of my is swollen too. I am not able to use my phone and I cannot access my data in the phone. Please suggest what could be the cause of this problem?

    It sounds like the battery might have gone bad, and is swelling and causing the symptoms you describe.  Do not attempt to use the phone, but take it to Apple for evaluation.

  • My nook app continues to state "Please be sure you have internet connectivity, then try again."  I am currently connected to wifi and it seems that all my other apps that need to be connect to the internet are properly working.  Help!

    My nook app keeps telling me "Please be sure you have internet connectivity, then try again."  I am currently connected to wifi and it seems that all my other apps that need to be connect to the internet are properly working.  I have turn off my phone, signed off my wifi, installed a new app, but nothing is working.  My friend is having similar issues.  My phone is up to date.  I even tried taking off the wifi in hopes that it could just connect to the 3g but nothing.  Not sure if anyone else is experiencieng this issue or knows what I can do.  I think that it may be an app problem that needs fixed, but not sure. Help!

    Maybe its a Viber problem. As that is not an Apple product, why don't you try and contact the developer?

  • 1.01 update = please share what you find is fixed / not =

    the bullets apple posted as the update are likely just some of the fixes.
    please share your personal experiences of what you have found is
    - fixed
    - new/improved
    - just enhanced performance
    and of course what is not fixed.
    keep it simple please so others can benefit at a glance
    thanks in advance!
    g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Improved:
    Keyword searches are faster.
    Query HUD keyword list comes up much faster.
    Projects with keywords come up faster than 1.0.
    Not fixed:
    Entire library searches are still not fast enough if you have keywords in place.
    Selecting the library line (in this case imported iPhoto library with 8000+ pics + some versions) takes too long (15-20 secs at least, apparently the keyword list is updated for the entire library and that takes too long).
    Keyword list seems to be updated each time you "touch" query HUD and this can take the long time (15-20 secs) if you happen to have the scope of entire library. Within single project (for example 100-200 pics and anything less) this wait is not visible.
    Good upgrade, using the tool and waiting for the next upgrade.

    I get the message listed above when I try to email pics. It asked me to set up an email account. I chose gmail. It asked for a password. I'm assuming it was asking for my email password. And yes I may have typed it in wrong, but how do I "please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly" ??? I can't find out how to get back to that point?

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • What to do when you have internet connection but go to use an app, you get the Error message, 'An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection' ?

    Yesterday, I downloaded the twoignite app. When I went to open the app to use, this error message appeared: An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection. I checked my connection and found I had a solid connection. I have tried closing the app and reopening it; deleting the app and redownloading it (more than once); turning off my iphone and turning it back on. None of these things have worked. Thanks.

    Not sure if it uses data, but that allows you to multitask.  To save battery life you should close out of all the apps.

  • Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
    Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago.  (I am so old,  I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
    1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
    2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
    3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
    4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
    5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
    6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
    7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
    8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key.  Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants. 
    9. (Optional)  You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word  Lock:  in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
    10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
    11.  Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.

    Don't try to use iCloud for this.  Instead, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  That will import photos and videos from your camera roll.  You might also want to back it up before repairing or replacing it.  You can do this by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up; and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This backup can later be restored to your repaired or replaced phone to recover your data.

    I'm trying to write a program that will take employee entries using JOptionPane and then display the list. It's still in its early stages, but I'm already having issues.
