thats the kind of power they have, what i did after rooting my phone is canceled the $7.00 a month they were charging me and i willing accpted the fact that if anything happens, i am fully liable

(looking to dump two lg optimus s phones and purchase 2 or 3 more evo s )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lui22:
in theory it should work i cant try it again for fear of them permanently voiding my warranty which i need to keep

im going to un root and call tomorrow again and also take it to the sprint store
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Well I went into my local sprint store to have them fix my kick stand. I of course was running MIUI, so there would be an easy way to notice a difference. I had to take my lock password off, and they didnt even say a word to me. I watched the guy repair it and turn back on. Fixed within an hour. :)

I think what Sprint is doing is practically doing a ##786# for your phone to grab the updated data sent to their servers.. Since they know your msl anyways. LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasey348:
i work for sprint and this is bull **** they can't do that only if you give the account number you phone number they can see what version is in your phone you can go to settings and about phone and you can see software information and software number but its true if you rot your phone your loose your warranty so if you do something wrong to your phone is under your responsibility thats what you get for not put attention wen you do something never call and ask for help if you mes top your phone i'm sorry but thats how it works
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
holy run-on sentences!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redroger:
Well so far what worked for me, is not telling sprint that your phone is broken in any way, and just say that you lost it our got stolen. This way you pay the 100$ deductible and get another phone without returning the other, and if the other you end up fixing it you can just sell it or activating on another account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatkitty420:
I can see why you work at Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
LoL, no schnitzels... anyhow, I agree with the gang, RUU and goto the store. You'll be fine. I guarantee the tech there wont know ****. And if they do, they're cool BC their phones rooted too. No worries
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzaw4:
Wait, were u on ur evo, while you were talking to Sprint?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Mm well they most likely know , data might give it away but not only that they must check your software , just like when you updating from HTC they check your software to see if it matches the one you supposed to have, even the iPhone has the, my cousin got a jailbrake iPhone and he was tethering and att sent him a letter regarding his data lol , the if he wanted to use hot spot they have a plan for it , because Apple actually know if you got your iPhone jailbroken same thing is for HTC and Sprint with our Evo, they know just that they don't point fingers unless you need to repair your phone or use warranty lmao

holy cow that's awesome, i guess it's not cool for us but that is pretty rad, thanks very much for that info, definitely keep it in mind whenever i have to call them.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IP IHI II IL:
I'm actually on my 5th EVO (started 'cause I wanted an 0004 build and got a bunch of crap refurbs, and 2 brand new with bad cam sensors, including this one). I've rooted every one of them, and run the 3.70 RUU (available in the auto-root thread), and wiped everything before returning. Haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood). Every once in a while you get the Sprint tech that actually knows what they're doing... It's rare, but does happen. Sorry they gotchya' man! Run the RUU, and call 'em back to make 'em feel stupid!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I have replaced countless phone since coming to android. To start I went through 5 HTC Hero's, 4 Optimus S phones, and still on Evo #1 (only been 20 days). Each time I have done the replacement process over the phone. Each time it takes a few calls, and a few people each call. I always end up with some expert tech after nobody else can understand why data stopped, or my screen it whack (excuses I use). Of all these replacements only 2 or 3 were real issues, some were due to dropping the phone, phone was fine but the scratch was annoying. Never did I have insurance either, I used the manufacture warranty, only paying $35 once. Point is when calling sprint to do this never have they seen I was running a diff rom. I never returned to stock before making the call either. I would have the stock info wrote down so when they asked version numbers I was ready for it. I personally dont think they can "see" your rom without you telling them. With all the evo rom and radio versions OP may have told them what he was running without realizing it... :eek:

Oh I left off the samsung intercept replacement :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Krad:
Can anyone point me in the right direction no how to remove the carrier text on the status bar on froyo or 2.2.2?

I got a dell streak and would like to remove this. I have already created custom framework-res.apk and services.odex so I am pretty good with apkmanager and smali and baksmali.

any help would be appreciated.. Alot of folks in the streak forums are looking to get rid of this wasted space.

thanks in advance.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] Supish:
Just got it today, put it on my phone, dust under screen but not very noticeable, cannot be unseen! (AND WE RAN OUT OF TAPE AT HOME!)

And there is more resistance in comparison to the naked screen, feels bad man.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] droidfoshizzle:
nice! what's the difference between the oleophobic and the crystal clear?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] groaner:
i've had both on my Vibrant and i preferred the Crystal, but NOTHING beats the naked feel of gorilla glass under the finger.

you just wont find anything as slick.

The crystal is a close second.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Supish:
The crystal is a little thicker and its supposed to be more clear. But the ultra oleophobic is also very clear so it shouldn't he a huge problem, and I also like the thinner one so its less noticeable
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
the oleophobic is basically done to simulate the iPhone 4's screen.... which is a Gorilla Glass screen with an oleophobic coating. Basically an anti-germ coating.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dtmcnamara:
i had the oleophobic on my iPhone 4 and loved it. Great product, I was going to get another one for the Atrix but decided to just get the Otterbox and hope I dont scratch the screen.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dream5hift:
I'm using the ultra crystal and I love it. I tried the oleo on iphone before and it's good also, but at first it isn't smooth unless you wipe it a lot. It's supposed to be easier to wipe off fingerprints. I don't see a big difference as I wipe my phone often.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Clienterror:
*off topic*

They should cross reference iphone sales, germphobes, and Starbucks sales. I'm sure there's an interesting correlation
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Oleophobic means it won't pick up oils from your skin and fingers leaving shiny spots on the screen. Has nothing at all to do with "germs".
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Clienterror:
Ahhhhh gotcha
[Atrix 4G Accessories] -Roze-:
actually the Atrix's Gorilla Glass also has the oleophobic coating as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022808
[Atrix 4G Accessories] aquariuz23:
Yup, i was just about to say the same thing. And if i'm not mistaken, the gorilla glass on the iphone does not have a coating of oleophobic layer on it, or if there is any, it's very minimum compared to what is on the Atrix. It's been confirmed by my friends who uses the iphones.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
On that last bit.... i'm not sure you should trust your friend's input into the subject, since if they're using an iPhone 4, they clearly have no clue what they hold in their hands besides that it can play music, make calls, catapult random birds into random blocks in an attempt to make random pigs go *poof*, has two glass panels, and is accepted by sheep around the globe.

http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/ten-things-you-didnt-know-about-iphone-4/

read point #3. And apparently it was also on the 3GS... which i didn't remember until i saw the post on Gizmodo about it while searching for Oleophobic.... And it's obvious how sheep-like people are towards an iPhone when a simple Google search for Oleophobic brings up a wiki article relating to such effects, and that very Gizmodo article on the Oleophobic coating on the iPhone 3GS's screen. Not like... a dictionary definition.... or a general discussion on Oleophobic materials.... Nope.... the iPhone.

As for the anti-germ bit i mentioned.... my bad. I knew it reduced fingerprints, or the appearance of them... and i don't know if i either read somewhere that said it also helps with germs, or i just assumed less oils from fingers = less possible germs.... but yea... my bad.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] darkamikaze:
i'm thinking of buying the crystal clear ones :x .. anyone try a bunch of different screen protectors and have a good opinion on sgps?

I've tried PhantomSkinz and so far it's been my favorite (at least for the captivate).

I got skinomis on my Atrix right now just to try it and the screen protector looks so dented which also doesn't heal (false advertising!!)

Now I'm debating on getting those SGPs or stick with Phantomskinz :) any opinions?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rpolansky:
I had Ghost Armor and I didn't like it as the screen looked terrible. Went to the SGP Oleophobic about 6 weeks ago and I love it. No scratches at all. Super clear; you have to really look to even find the edges. Put on with no bubbles at all (2nd try; 1st was a bust). Only thing is if you clean the screen swype feels weird (slight resistance) until you use the phone for awhile.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
Just cooked and installed a rom on my Telstra GT-I9000T handset and I couldn't be happier. The speed has more than doubled and I am free from Telstra refusing to release updates and their bloatware. Any way I have some Questions.

I'v installed Doc's 9.6.6 Rom and it's going quite well.

1. The GPS has improved but I think it could still be better. I see there is an APP out there called GPS Aids and I was wondering if it would improve my GPS functionality or would it not work with a custom rom like mine?

Are there any methods to make my GPS better? I feel that this is the phone's achilles heal.

2. I now have the option under settings > About Phone > Software Update. I guess Samsung or Google will make Gingerbread avaliable for the SGS soon. When it is will i be upgraded OTA with this software update feature?

3. Any word on when gingerbread is coming out and if/when it will be avaliable in the RomKitchen? I know it's in Beta testing at the moment. Can't be too long before it starts to get released around the globe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
1. You could try a newer rom/modem as they definitely help out with GPS. Currently on JQ1 I get a lock within 5 secs accurate to about 10m. You could also try Faster Fix from the market

2. Upgrade will happen when Samsung releases it.

3. Supposed to be coming out March but no one really knows.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfvaldo:
GPS Aids do works on Doc's ROM. What it does is speed up satellite discovery. So in theory you'll see satellites faster, but this doesn't necessarily means that it will be locked faster.

On my SGS it takes an average of 20s to lock using LBSTestMode. Some navigation apps takes longer though (not sure why). Also as utsmaster18 said, fasterfix helps too.

Latest DOC's ROM is 9.9.5 (based on JS8) and I've read (can't remember what thread) that ZSJPG modem is very good. I'm using JS8 + JPY CSC + ZSJPG modem, with Damian Kernel. I have gps aids and faster fix and I do love the GPS performance.

I don't think this function works at all. Even on my stock ROM this was useless. At least for me. I'd say you'll be best served by the XDA comunity.

Rumor says it would be out this month. In fact there is a leaked beta ROM already out and many custom ROMS built on top of it. But an official *golden* ROM from Samsung, I think that even they (samsung developers) can't tell for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
This is my ROM:

XWJS5_Wipe-v9_6_6-23-29-22-04-03-rM9FJUquQU

I got the GPS working.

First I used an ap called GPS Status to reset my GPS data as Dialing *#*#1472365#*#* does not work for me.

After I cleared all my GPS data I used FasterFix to add the fix although I am not sure if FasterFix was necessary as maybe clearing the data was all I needed to do.

GPS is really good now though.

I also got the compas working in GPS Status. First time I have had a compas work on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
I have a mate with an old Nexus phone and he recieves firmware updates OTA. I never had this with my stock firmware (2.1-Update1) but Telstra probably removed it.

It will be interesting to see if I am able to update this way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfvaldo:
I may be wrong, but I guess Nexus firmware comes from Google itself, while we have to wait for samsung to release it. That's why we probably won't get updates through that menu.

At least on stock froyo (JPY) that menu hasn't worked for me. Not even to tell that I was running the most updated firmware. All I got was errors connecting to the server, or some other words with the same meaning :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
I'm pretty sure you're right and nexus firmware comes straight from Google.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shake&Bake:
GPS Aids and Doc's Rom works well together and gave me GPS lock in 2 minutes or so.

That's with JPE modem.

Now using Darky's 9.4, JQ1 modem without GPS Aids and getting locked in under 30 seconds with Google Maps and Navigation.

But I'm not knocking ROM creators around here, GPS Aids and Doc Rom FTW! :D

And yes, Nexus handsets get OTA directly from Google, no mobile operators in the damn way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
I might try GPS AIDS.

The clearing the data method with GPS Status then using Fast fix has made my GPS super accurate but it takes forever to get a fix and actually start working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
Just another question. Not really related to the OP but my provider has released 2.2 and there is a new modem JP9. Is it worth flashing this to my phone. I am running JL2 and it seems fine. Has any one compared JL2 to JP9?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
Does installing a higher basebrand such as .58 increase speed in any way. Is it recommended? And can basebrand .58 run anything the basebrands below it can? Sorry I'm somewhat new to this whole thing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hongy19:
from my understanding, the baseband consist of the radio firmware and hw firmware which is the interface between hardware and software.

So new baseband means more functionality or bug fixed. But should not increase the phone speed.

[General Questions and Answers] Wicked1ab:
So I have been using Terminal emulator to load new boot loaders on my phone and I use this code:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /file location/bootanimation.zip /system/media

My question for you guys is, what does the second line mean? I mean sure I can memorize the code and use it but I'm trying to figure out how to read it and it doesn't really make sense to me.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
mount -o remount,rw /system

We use the mount command, with the option remount (meaning unmount and then mount again), and the desired access rights ( rw = read and write) on the folder /system.

This mean we have a folder /system which is probably mounted as READ ONLY.

To change access rights you have to unmount first and then mount with the new access rights.

We want to change the access rights of system and we don't want to change its mount point. So we use mount command with the option remount and our desired rights.

Does this clarify it for you?
[General Questions and Answers] Wicked1ab:
Yes this helped a lot! so the -o was the "option" part?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
yes -(o)ption and then the option you want
[General Questions and Answers] Wicked1ab:
Thank you so much!
[General Questions and Answers] TheWarKeeper:
hmm, i logged in as su but did not perform the remout code, ive found a tool to calibrate my xperia x10 mini pro accelerometer but when i executed it and did the required operation, it said the configuration was complete and yet the accelerometer was left unchanged, could this mean that because i did not use the mount remount command before using the tool that is why the program did no changes at all?

Hey guys, just like the SMS-time delay, my phone always says: PAYPHONE when I receive a call... I think it's Rogers' problem as well, but I don't know how to fix this... Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] scorneil:
I had the SMS issue, but someone on here pointed me to SMS Time Fix in the market which fixed it. It's a Rogers issue.

I am also getting Pay Phones (a call from Bell, and a call from Purolator). Maybe they throw in Pay Phone if it's unknown or blocked?
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
i realized it shows Pay Phone when the caller is NOT on the same carrier as me (ex: bell, telus, koodo...). I don't know how to fix this...
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
please if anyone has a solution to this, it would reaaally be appreciated! I can't see who's calling me!!
[Atrix 4G General] i.mac:
I had the same issue with Rogers, there are two ways of solving it:

1) If you have an iPhone Value Pack, change it to a Generic Smartphone Value Pack.

2) If you have Name Display + Call Display, get rid of Name Display.

That should fix it.

SMS, I haven't figured out yet.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
See the following thread for more information about why you get "Payphone" displayed all the time.

Pay Phone being displayed when receiving calls

As for the SMS issue, that is a Rogers/Fido problem wherein the SMS time stamp is offset by 4 or 5 hours. This is an issue when you use a non-Rogers phone as it will not have the fix for the offset.

Download SMS Time Fix from the market and set the offset correctly and it'll show the time stamp correctly!
[Atrix 4G General] Gjm127:
Thanks a bunch guys, you were right on everything! Why is it that Rogers has this SMS delay? Btw, if I kill the SMS time-fix app, does it still do the job? Does it eat up too much space?
[Atrix 4G General] bfksc:
The Pay Phone on call display has been covered, but to sum it up it's an issue related to the fact that Rogers has NAME and number for call display, so when the name info comes across the phone, it doesn't understand so it simply displays Pay Phone instead of the number calling. Getting name display excluded from your package fixes the issue and call display works normally.

I don't know, but I'm guessing it has something to do with UTC timezone and their network.

The SMS Time Fix app by Matthew Precious is very small and uses almost no resources. If you kill the app it won't be running, so it can't fix the timestamp of messages when they arrive.
[Atrix 4G General] scorneil:
Rogers technical support knows all about the name feature, they will quickly remove it for you if you call in. Mine is now working, no more Pay Phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] froibet:
recently my bud got his hands on a Surround, but it was a demo phone. He flashed it using the ROMs provided in the Surround forum section and everything is working great.

Now he's trying to sell it to get an HD2/7 or a focus, but he doesn't have the box and headphones... Posted on craigslist and he gets replies (posts it for $350) that meets everything and they're all up for the phone but when he mentions that there is no box, people just straight up say no thanks and back out.

what is the disadvantage of having a demo phone?

is there something I'm not understanding?
[Windows Phone 7 General] EddyVercetti:
people would think that its stolen, and most demo phones dont work as they have no user interface or something like that.

I think it has to do more with the fact it's a relatively new phone without a box. If the phone was a year or a year & a half old it would be less of a problem.
