I'd agree they don't have the right to know - or the right to install spyware on our phones - without a court order. That's why I removed Carrier IQ in the first place.

Now, to the user above - the first step is to never tell them you used a custom ROM. Odin to stock first. However, if there's anything wrong with it that's hardware-related - and except in my case, that's the only reason it'll ever be exchanged on warranty - they must fix it if it was not caused by the user.

IANAL, but custom software would fall easily under the realm of the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (click for Wikipedia). The MMWA was passed by Congress to stop car manufacturers from declaring warranties void when third-party (aftermarket) parts were used. It generally applied to things like oil filters, but it's been applied successfully to such things as aftermarket exhaust, as well. There's no reason it can't apply here - I believe it does.

They should never know, if you Odin back. But if you ever run into trouble - or if your friend hasn't caved yet - fight back. Don't let that guy, who was probably a knowledgeless low-level rep hungry for power, try to give you that crap. Go over his head, talk to a manager, and if the manager gives you the same line of ****, inform him that you understand your rights under the MMWA. If he still doesn't budge, contact your local Better Business Bureau immediately.

Exercise your rights, people. If you have been sold a product with a warranty, it must be honored unless you caused the damage. It's a matter of federal law.

And if they claim it's a matter of contract? Find it in the contract or tell them to **** themselves and call the BBB.

Rom flash

i am a true noob and have a really stupid question.. im trying to update my rom to SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1 and im on the last part of the instructions: "If you are not on EC05 or SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1/1.0.2: Use Odin to flash the EC05 modem. UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT "AUTO REBOOT". Ensure you are on CWM3. Wipe data for best results, and flash the ROM." But i dont know how or what is meant by "flash the ROM"? Can someone please help me with this.

much appreciated.. and sorry for the stupid question.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkey Pox:
Until I personally see a copy of that letter, I call B.S.

I upgraded from the Hero to the Epic. Before I could flash it back to stock, my wife, not knowing any better, took it to the Sprint store to activate it on her number. My phone was rooted running CM6.

Sprint backed up CM6, flashed stock on it and transferred the phone to her number and told her that I should know how to get the rom flashed back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djgallis:
word up ....smh my hand works for sprint i guess lol n jk
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djgallis:
whn all fails just use you tube to understand lingo

but FLASH ... just means selecting it really it flashes it self when it reboots your phone ... so in cwm recovery : instal zip : select zip : then yes install and watch it go it will flash and reboot ....... wait for atleast 5min on most roms for it to reload the phone w custom information dont panic

AS FOR ODIN just hit start after you accomplish and let it flash your phone meaning update the ROM or MODEM your trying to activate

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Thanks for the ideas.

I tried syndicate 1.1 and I had a few problems. Ok, It just did not work on my phone.

I am on Bonsai 4.0, so far so good, no crashes. I am testing out the battery so hopefully in a week or so I will know if its better then before. So probably a good ROM!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevenjays:
Lovin SRF 1.1! I also love my new hobby! My wicked cool Epic 4G that loves to be flashed and flashed again! And I love that I can use it for whatever it can do. And I love this forum and especially all the devs that have put so much time and effort into the wonderful ROMs and themes! Eventually I plan on learning how to theme myself to expand the hobby. Great fun!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:
Alright, so our plan started yesterday, but we can not use our new phones until the 6th (that's when our old Verizon plan ends). We went into the sprint store, and they got all of our phones set up so that we can just turn them on when activation day arrives and our numbers will be ported.

Is there any way that I can use my Evo without starting the porting process?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It happened to me when my mom switched from at&t. You should be able to use your evo, the internet, browsing, games, ect. Though you won't be able to make calls or texts from it till the number is fully ported over. And it'll happen around some random time the give you, if not near 12pm your time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:
But isn't there some program that will start up when I turn the phone on that will start to port the number. (sorry for questioning you, I just really don't want to pay a termination fee of $125 to stinkin big red).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well it'll ask you to link/make a google account to the phone, but it won't chnage anything. I carried my evo along with my at&t phone around for 3 days in case it ported over miday; I was calling and texting on my at&t phone and browsing the web on my evo. So you're okay to turn it on. If you've done all the paperwork already, switching, ect, you're good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:
Alright, that sounds very reassuring. Now all I have to do is convince my dad nothing will happen, and then start flashing those roms!

Anyway thanks a lot for the quick and thorough response. Thanks incoming!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] markywylder:
Hey everyone....

Mostly to those of you who have just stumbled upon XDA!

This may seem like a strange post, and some will say it's in the wrong section...But I'm sure many will agree with me.

With the release of Gingerbread for the Galaxy S, and the fact that all the hard work of our ROM Chefs here on XDA have made it easier and easier to create or modify a custom rom, I don't think I'm the only one that's noticing hundreds of ROMs popping up in the last 2-3 days or more....they're spreading like wildfire!

Don't get me wrong here...I might even post my own modified version of a rom for anyone that might be interested in my particular arrangement, and that's what these forums are about; creating and sharing ideas for all to find their perfect combination of what's out there.

I just would like to take the time to say to anyone who has just bought a Galaxy S and stumbled upon this wealth of information to STOP, READ, and READ MORE!

Do your research, don't flash the first thing you see. You don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight. Find out what's tried tested and true and don't forget to thank anyone that helps you along the way.

Just a thought. Happy flashing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SDeba:
So, what is the point in making other ROMs if you're suggesting every new user to choose only the ones which are long on the scene? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alvinz:
i think marky means that newbies should read up before flashing ... and at least try flash a stable rom first before proceeding to betas or changing from one rom to another rom.

And marky i really agree with u, there have been alot newbies asking on how to flash or pop up and say they had this, that, there problems while i am sure alot of us didnt encounter before, even though on the first time ... some problems are self debug-able, some had to read then apply fix .. problem is many doesnt READ ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Nope most newbies dont read and dont want to read/learn .

Many seem to arrive through a word of mouth /other forums posting xxx rom is brilliant .Multiple posts on the same topic follow help, help .

Nvm fixed it I hold down power and volume down and press recovery and it took me to ClockworkMod Recovery. Man that scared me for a second haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Keep playing with your phone? LOL

I believe you can download the stock non rooted rom and start all over. From what it sounds like, you erased your OS from the phone.

which version of cwm are you using?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRide113:
So I updated to Serendipity 6.3 last night because Facebook was acting weird, and after doing so, Facebook still can't sync at all.

Using the actual sync under "Accounts & Sync" Facebook, says "Sync Error" and "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Though, after re-flashing, still the same problem.

Now using Sync in the Facebook App, it says it "successfully synced" but yet, Half of my contacts are missing pictures.

Anyone have any ideas? I really need this, for both my calendar and Facebook Phone book.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
the default facebook sync is better than the app sync.

i had the error message too. i think it wasnt liking some of the tibu settings restoring after flash.

remove both the accounts from setttings > accounts and sync.

then add it back. the default one is the rounder corners with lighter colors logo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRide113:

Are folks still having issues with this?

I have long since solved my contacts syncing issues with the integrated fb account, but I do have issues with the calendar sync.

I've tried to force syncs on calendar and it always fails, but a day or so later, it works. Is facebook calendar sync restricted to a 24-hour period?

[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
Hello all,

Sadly my X10 has came to the same fate as my previous X10 and my USB port on the phone has came loose from the PCB.

If people are stuck at this point and would just like a working phone and are currently happy with the way the phone is functioning then this can help you.

http://www.evertop.co.uk/p/980791/s...sb-charger-for-xperia-x1-x1a-x2-x10-x10i.html

It charges the battery :) !

I am currently running z's 2.2 back on my 48 baseband so my upgrades are limited and money is extremely tight so a new phone and experimenting with this phone is out the question!

If you are in the same situation as e then this could be a wee god send for that minority! As soon as I get money I am ordering one so I can enjoy the use of my X10 again

Enjoy

Z3X
[XPERIA X10 General] Darth Glacious:
So I guess this microUSB problem happens quite often with X10i, since it happened twice to you and my phone is sent to service for the same reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
Yup apparently :) Ive heard it quite a lot
[XPERIA X10 General] mister-g1:
hmm but i dont think opening the back of the x10 over and over again to eject the battery solves this... after a while your backcover is broken too
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I doubt that it's pretty hard plastic...
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
This is for people who can't afford to splash out on a new/working phone for various reasons.

My back cover has been off countless occasions and it doesn't even have a crack etc

I am currently under contract and a few other issues which means I either by a new X10 or live with the phone I have

Atleast this way I still have a working phone for the remainder of my contract.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cablekevin:
I've lost my cover 3 weeks ago (i've gotten a new one recently) but if you are afraid of breaking the cover the phone is perfectly usable without it. And it is hard plastic but it does wear out.
[XPERIA X10 General] pcfanboy142:
You'll still have a phone with limited functionality. You still can't install custom roms and if the phone gets bricked, it won't do no good. But it's still better than nothing. Great find OP.
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
I still have a wee bit of upgrading capability through xRec just limited by baseband :)

But it's a very cheap fix so who can complain :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Peetahzee:
Phew I am not the only one. My phone stopped charging a while ago and I wonder what was wrong.

My phone is still well in warranty.... Do the SE centers care if I rooted my phone or not?
[XPERIA X10 General] diament:
Yup, my X10 USB connector partially stopped working too, 2 days ago. Connected to PC nothing happens but it can be charged via AC charger. However it charges extremely slowly, maybe even slower that it was via PC. It takes at least half of a day to charge whole battery if not all day. I'm afraid it's going to stop charging completely. Considering fact that I don't have a warranty and it is a fairly new phone I have to think of that solution too. I was messing with it pretty hard, and now I'm stuck on 2.1.54 baseband, not that bad but... Even with that I will be limited to much to feel ok with it. Need a new phone, definitely not Xperia. It could happen again. If not that I would be fully happy with it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
After reading all this, i decided to break the two "anchors" of the mini (or micro or whatever its called) usb which hold the cable in place so it can not be disconnected accidendly from the phone..

Now it is much easier to connect and disconnect the phone without having to fear that it might break somehow after putting to much strength when disconnecting the cable.

Hope this will help us not having to worry too much about breaking the usb!
[XPERIA X10 General] HolySorento:
+1... Same problem here... 1 month of use... same as diament... just charge and slow... USB for transfer is gone...

[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
If you have a lot of mental strength and steady hands there is a way to bypass and solder on a usb lead to the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] alicio:
pls explain more
[XPERIA X10 General] 九千.:
You should have search for the name "evertop" before buying from them, then you would see they are well-known of selling counterfeits. You might have thought selling fake and counterfeit was not allowed in UK. UK government simply don't care.

In retrospective, you should just throw away that fake battery rather than sending it back to them. If they are scammers it's very unlikely that they would follow honest online trading practice. What a scammer does is taking your money and sell your return goods to someone else for double profit.

Now it might have have fallen into the hand of another victim. Hope he/she wouldn't get hurt by battery explosion. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-not-charging.html

How do I know if my 3G is working? (Tmobile US, HD2, WP7, Leo70, very new just flashed it) What I am basically is wondering is how can I tell if my 3G is on? I do not have a data plan on my phone, due to the fact that I am always at school so I can always be on WIFI so I have no need for it. The Wifi works perfectly I just want to know if my 3G is working bc if I look at the signal it has signal but has no letters beside it like "3G" "E" etc... any help??

THANK YOU!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] fcbarca17:
If you do not have a data plan no "H" "3G" or "E" icon will show up.

An easy way to test this is if you turn off your Wi-Fi and then try to load a website, if it doesnt load, no data.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Stefo1990:
i get that but what im wondering if the fact when i was running wm6.5 i had 3g written at the top by the signal bars and now there is nothing??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
If you setup the APN correctly then it will establish a data connection with T-mobile whether you have a data plan or not.. When you install WP7 rom it wont have the apn set.. you have to do that manually... Also if you turned off Data in the cellular menu it wont show E/3G/H..

Some Advice if your not using the DATA then in the Cellular Menu turn off 3G and switch to 2G like that it uses less battery compared to trying to stay connected to Tmobiles 3G

I've just loaded a Win Phone 7 rom onto my HTC on vodafone.

On Win6.5 I used to get G, E, 3G, 3G+ as symbols at the top of the screen.

In Win 7 my 3G toggle is on, but all I get is G or H??

Is G = 3G in this instance because the toggle is on and H = 3G+ or am I only getting slow connections (i.e. really G=gprs and H is edge)? The browser speed seems OK, but.....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
If you get either G or H thats good... G is basic GSM and H is faster 3G

H is HSPDA+

G is GSM
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
Finally An Answer For You....

In WP7, go into Settings. Tap Cellular (your carrier in this case T-Mobile) should be displayed.

Tap the 3G Connection setting to it turns on. And you're done. If you want to see if you have 3G or whatever connection at any given moment you can lock the screen and turn it back on to see the connection status in the upper left corner.

A simpler way, is like on the WM6.5 world...tap the very top portion of the screen (where the taskbar would be in WM6.5). Your battery, time, and connections status will drop down.

Voila!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Idhor Naergon:
Sir, just fyi: "G" means GPRS on a GSM network. HSDPA is still GSM, but with higher rates. "E" menas EDGE and has lower rates compared with HSDPA but hight compared with GPRS.

When you has G means your network is slow, about 1.5Mbps, when E it's quite OK,3.5Mbps and when H or 3G your network has higher rates 7.2Mbps or +

Hope it helps
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
oh I know.. I realized it after I posted and reread it.. but then again in most cases barebones GPRS isnt really noticed since it jumps to edge right away
