Thinking on Picking this up.

I want to buy a charger that can connect 2 devcies and to have power to spare. This one has 2 ports. One 2.1a (for bigger devices like ipad,tablet) and the other 1a

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
So someone rooted probably a branded set,

unrooted back to Stock.

Sent for warranty, got a call that it was rooted before thus warranty voided.

Conclusion: How do we know that we have erased the tracks of rooting our HTC Desire? How are we sure that it's the same state as it was before?

What are the main things people should look out for after rooting if they want to make sure they don't get caught rooting to void their warranty?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Do a full wipe and flash a stock rom. Then you should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
True, according to the person he did unroot using the uh...Shipped RUU's.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Should've used the branded RUU for their phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
How do you tell it's for branded?

Not to mention many of the shipped ROMS look rather outdated-ish for new Desire users. (And not a lot of selections? Does it affect?)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
I would advice to flash one of the latest stock roms just to be sure. I dont want to be harsh but your friend should have read more about rooting and restoring etc then this could have been avoided.

What carrier is the phone using? Then you need to find to find a rom that matches. But I doubt he will get his warranty back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
Of course. Lol once voided it's near impossible to get it back.

GSM, probably branded and had GPS problem.

Anywho mine is GSM as well, branded and if I want to unroot back, how would I know which is the most suitable for me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You get an RUU that matches your carrier or closest (I guess) and a really up to date version (2.29.405.5). You can't go wrong really. If it fails, claim on your insurance... providing you have some.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
Too outdated + not a lot.

Shipped roms site is the best but there's only one closest to my Software no but it's .1 before. It should work right?

Why does the software no matter?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It matters are HTC will know which version it was shipped with. For example:

My Desire is an unbranded handset, shipped with 1.15.405.3

So long as I sent it back with a version x.xx.405.x then I'm OK as it's the right software

If your desire wasn't on x.xx.405.x software and you send it back on it HTC can refuse to fix it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gundam00qan:
Hmm.

Thanks, that solved most of it I suppose.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
I need to get a nexus one handled thru warranty, but HTC says basically if anything is wrong they'll charge for a new phone. I've never dropped it in water but I just want to make sure just in case like if some steam got in or something, I really don't want to pay $500 for a refurbished phone or something like that.

Has anyone gotten a N1 replaced thru HTC?

also, where is the water indicator thing on the phone? Can it be seen if you take the cover off?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellowgato:
here:

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/6436943/1/liquiddamage?h=5096a4

I am not sure if there are any others.

The picture is of the back of my phone, at the very bottom with the rear lower cover off. Picture courtesy of HTC :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
On mine, there is also a water indicator under the battery terminal leads. Remove the battery, and look just below the connectors. You'll see a white sticker. or red if it's gotten wet.

Also note, that these stickers do not change color in humidity, they must touch standing water, you would need nearly 100% humidity + 100% condensation for it to change. Which under normal weather conditions (even a shower's steam) it would be impossible for it to change... And if you did get it to change from humidity, it's beyond the tolerance of the device and has voided the warranty.

Just as you can't put it in a 600 degree oven for an hour and say "i don't know what happened, it just melted in my hand" and expect a warranty replacement, or repair.

they have set standards for what the device can handle, certain number of G forces, high and low temperature, and humidity. any one of these items can void your warranty. Only a few can they really tell if it happened (water is most common).

If you think you're prone to doing these kinds of things, damaging electronic devices. You can buy insurance from some 3rd party companies, who'll replace the device, in the event it's stops working, damaged, or even stolen. Granted you're going to end up paying into the insurance for more than the phone's worth. But you'll get a brand new phone, if your friend steals it. (But they have ways of finding out if it's turned on, and they can track these things, insurance fraud is a crime, and they aren't stupid about it.) ;-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smittstarr:
In addition to the two sports mentioned above, my battery (stock) also has a water indicator strip on the side of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
thanks guys, huge help.

@ mellow cat, I don't want to open the device up for fear of really voiding my warranty, I guess there's no way to see that without taking it apart eh?

@ next two dudes, thx, my strip is still white, so that pretty much means the inside is going to be white as well and I should be safe for a warranty claim right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
The water strips show two points where the water could enter. Near the battery is for the headphone jack. And the bottom is the USB port. If you did drop it in a 1/4 cup of beer (like a friend of mine with his iphone) but only went half way it'll show on the bottom.

If you're worried about steam then the battery one should be enough to ease your concern.

But any other damage like bumps and bruises on the phone is enough for them to deny your warranty claim. (Also assuming you bought new not a refurbished. Refurbs will be denied because they don't have stock serial numbers. I've worked at netgear doing support claims like that... so I know how those kinds of things work.) :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
well ****.

Here's what I'm dealing with:

The phone is my girlfriend's. I bought it brand new from Google for her. About 2 months later she left on the top of her car and drove off, it fell near the freeway. Brick.

Sent it to Asurion and paid the deductible, obviously they sent a refurb.

Fast forward 2 weeks ago, the power button would work 1 out of 3 times pressing it, suddenly it stopped working altogether, so that would be a manufacture error. The phone has normal nicks on it, but no big dents or anything that it looks like it was dropped (to me). The battery indicator is white, although she says she had it in the bathroom while showering, not in the shower, but in the bathroom.

Called HTC, they said they'd replace it on warranty for free provided it didn't show user ****-ups. They are making me put $500 on a credit card in case they have to charge my ass.

So I am really worried they are going to "find" something wrong with it and charge me. She really loves this phone and can't have another one because she has to have that lighted track ball. I just want the ****ing power button fixed, that is it, nothing else. Never rooted, never anything.

This thing is pissing me off, why so much drama just to fix something it would take their tech guy like 10 minutes? It's still within a year of original purchase.

Any thoughts or advice?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
My first question is, what about the insurance co? Have you asked them about a replacement since they sent you the first replacement?

I've dealt with a similar situation with a laptop. I ended up suing gateway for my laptop back.

So HTC will find that it's a refurb. They will charge you for the repair. This should be a reasonable cost for repair ($60-160 no more than that).

HTC should only be asking for $500 hold if they are sending you a replacement, and that they don't want to be shortchanged in the event you don't send yours back.

They may still charge you for repairs, they may not.

But the $500 should be released either way.

If they do not do it this way, go file a civil lawsuit for the $500 damages. They won't fight it, and it'll cost you about $35.

If they do fight, then you've got your ducks in a row (you'll win), you should have your replacement anyway. Just go with it.

This is from personal experience, and I hope it goes smoothly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
They said they would replace it for free even though I told them it was a refurb via Asurion because the original purchase date is less than a year, but if they find that I ****ed it up in any way (e.g. water damage) they'd charge the $500, So I can pay $80 to fix it like you say or attempt to get the free replacement (they already know it's a refurb) chancing they charge me $500.

$160 still seems like too much money to fix something that is a common failure on their end while it's still under warranty.

I can get a replacement refurb thru Asurion for $130 so paying $160 seems ludicrous (I know you said they may charge only $60 but what are the odds)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
So, Are you a gambling man?

Your options:

1) pay 130$, get another refurb.

2) take a chance, that that phone has never seen water. And are you willing to put $500 on the poker table for that?

Also, if you enjoy legal battles and can spare the $500 for a few months, if they do charge you the $500, then you can sue the insurance co for sending you a bad refurb, in damages of $500... since you know it's never seen water since you've had it. (it's not your fault its water stickers were set off, you shouldn't have to pay the $500. I'm not one for sue-ing everyone, but in this case, it's going to hurt you in $500 if you didn't) But thats a last ditch effort.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
well I do play hold 'em a lot with friends over bbq and beers but that's a different story.

so maybe I'll just chance the $500 and send it in for warranty then if HTC pulls a fast one I'd do a civil suit on Asurion for $500 for sending me a jacked up phone?

maybe, I mean this whole thing sucks and $130 is insane for the damn power button.

ugh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
Hey you've got more guts than I do. But you're probably on a good bet. Although I don't gamble much.

Please let me know how it ends up. I'd love to hear a good ending.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlsmy:
This thread made me really laugh. I was afraid of the $529 on credit collateral for the repair, but after going through it EIGHT TIMES (yes EIGHT) I can assure you they don't check the phone that thoroughly. As long as you didn't swim with the phone, everything's covered. Make sure your screen is not HEAVILY SCRATCHED or CRACKED, this can cause them to get ancy. The biggest problem is them sending you a lemon, and I've gotten 7 of them so far, ranging from dust under screen to power button to LCD Flicker and coloration/dead pixels. I swear its like a grab bag...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flibbertigibbet007:
Dnlsmy I'm talking of past experience with other warranty claims and from my experience working at netgear. I don't know how lenient HTC is about their warranty. But from what you say you sound pleased other than the refurbished units you got back...

All I can say is good luck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
UPDATE:

ok so I ended up just sending the device to HTC, go the new unit last tuesday. Girlfriend couldn't be more pleased, noticed the difference in the button right away.

HTC didn't charge me for a new phone, so guess they didn't find anything wrong with it, glad she never let me root it, lol.

Looks like this will turn out a happy ending, thx to everyone for chiming in, I'm sure I'll be back to these forums for a Nexus related question at some point :)

now if you'll excuse me there's a new CM7 ROM on my HD2 that needs flashing :)

[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] GottaStayFly:
Okay, so if i use Extendir on my Manila cabs, it should make sense work faster on the x2?
[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] RJH57108:
OK ... I used the Extender ... and here is what I did (and is it simple):

1. moved all of the cabs that I wanted to "extend" into a directory -- on my PC

2. ran "extendir cabs" and pointed it to the directory mentioned in #1

3. It generated a single cab with all of the cabs that I had moved into a single cab called the "directory name.cab" that was in #1

4. I copied the cab to my phone and installed it ...

That was it ... and it seems to work ... but I don't have any results that I can report ... only did it to day, and it is too early to say what it is doing -- but it seems to have better battery response ... note that one of the cabs that I "extended" was SPB 8 Mobile Shell. After the install, all of the programs worked and the install did not take very long ... shorter then installing the programs the first time ...

Now the questions ...

1. When the extender cab installs, it asks where to install the extender cab ... and I selected the storage card -- which I found strange since SPB 8 is normally installed in the device and not on the card ... It seems to work -- but should that have been installed on the device?

2. there only seems to be a single choice for the location of the install -- when I did it the first time, I installed in on the device, and it took up memory in the device when I hade "extended" cabs that were both formally in the device and on the storage card. I then addnd more programs into the directory for the cabs, and rans extendir cabs again and it created another file (called the directory name -- note that this cab is located in the same directory that the extendir cabs.exe file is located). When I copied it to my phone and installed it, it said that I had to uninstall the previous version of the extended cab -- which I did. (Note that I also tried to rename the cab to another name before installing it, and it still asked about uninstalling the previous version.) I am not sure if it is possible to use it for device located cabs and storage located cabs -- is that possible?

Well that is my experience with extender and how it is used ...
[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] kaybest:
Yes It will help, please let us know your outcome. Maybe some people that don't use Manila because of battery and Memory issues, can try Manila too.

A thousand thanks for trying this tool, this tool is basically for Rom developer to use and cook applications into their Rom, back then people discovered using it to re-cabs our Cab files make them faster and less battery consuming.

Answer to your Questions : You just have to group your Cab files into two groups. First group for cabs that will be install into Phone memory, Second group for cabs in memory card.

Or you can re-cab your files separately.

Tips for better battery and more speed : You may know this, but for those that don't know.

* Install applications that runs regularly, runs in background or programs you use frequently into phone memory.

eg : Manila

* Install applications that don't runs in background, you don't use regularly or very large applications in Memory card.

eg : games
[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] GottaStayFly:
Hmm.. im not sure if im doing it wrong but what i did was use the program on the manila cabs and the other stuff, but when i restarted my x2 manila didn't bother to start up unless i install the non-extendir cab im not sure what im doing.
[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] RJH57108:
Here is what I noticed over the last few days ...

There is a significant speed increase in browsing (I use Iris -- gave up on the IE since I was getting warnings about using IE6 based browser and Microsoft does not appear -- at least i could not find one -- to have an upgrade) speed and also Bing is faster ...

SPB 8 is also faster ...

There might be an increase in battery life, but I am still evaluating that part of it ...
