Well i am glad i didn't go to your store...and if i did i would of still got it replaced at another store....And no.... i didnt speak to the Philippines or Canada. I spoke to the USA in account services..But thanks for giving us handbook rules. Now if you could post your store number so no one will ever goes there please?
[EVO 4G General] dallastx:
HTC and Sprint battled this issue out and blamed each other in who should cover the damaged pt. They came to conclusion that they will make the customer pay.
[EVO 4G General] dallastx:
Yea hate you didn't find one of these threads my friend. I know 4 personally that this has happened to and many more to come as the part gets weaker FROM PLUGGING IT IN. This issue was also common with blackberries. Anyhow glad your not upset and in the future search for your issue so you know how to go about it. I was prepared for what they would say when i took it to the store because i read a thread somewhere else. So i knew exactly what to do when the first store gave me issues.
[EVO 4G General] chofert:
I see this issue all the time at the store. We have to treat it like everybody either dropped their phone and/or tripped on the cable because in most cases, thats what has happened. How can we really take anyones word... What you need to do is get it to the store when its loose and before it snaps off then you don't have to worry about "this" situation. This is a company wide policy and I am shocked as to why people are getting replacements in store...My guess is that these SPRINT managers are only worried about their CSAT numbers and will bend over backwards to get good shops. Come into the store where I work and I will deny your phone as board level damage, and flag your account....Come into my store with a cracked EVO screen and I will repair for free regardless of insurance.
[EVO 4G General] papaslacker:
Its kinda funny they come out with a update and now seams like lot of phones are doing this My phone just did it tonight. No im not putting the plam on the update seen i didn't do the update. Just saying its funny seams lot more are breaking now. I just got off the phone with sprint. They told me to bring it in long as there is no physical damage they will replace physical damage is what you can see so if there is anything broke is side that is not physical damage so they do have to replace it so this guy that is saying he works at sprint think you need to go back for new training.

[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
When holding the G-Tab in portrait, the upper left corner of my screen was unresponsive. I couldn't hit the "Home" button in the ROMs. When I turned it to landscape, I could hit the "Home" button just fine. Also, the very right side where the launcher icons are, are either hard to press or I have to press longer for them to respond.

Since I just got my G-Tab, I thought I may have gotten a bad screen, so I ordered an RA (return authorization) through TigerDirect. Had my G-Tab packed back up in the box and ready to ship back for a replacement.

Until I saw this:

Touch Screen Calibration App

I didn't even know there was such an app. So, I unpacked/unboxed my G-tab, loaded a ROM. Ran the Screen Calibration app and WOW! My screen works perfectly in all spots from the tests I've ran.

I don't know how this app works, but it looks like it has saved me from paying to return my G-tab and wait for another to be shipped back.

If you are having problems with certain parts of your screen becoming unresponsive, or any other type of touch-screen issues, try this app first before you send your G-Tab back.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I keep forgetting to add this to my own ROMs. :( Thanks for reminding me about this app.
[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
I'm just a very happy camper that I don't have to return my tablet now and wait for a replacement to come.

That's excellent that you're going to add it into your ROM. I think all G-Tab ROM chefs should add that app into their ROMs with the amount of touch screen issues people have had with these tablets.
[G Tablet General] texraid:
This helped a lot, thanx bud! :) My G-Tab just feels more precise after the calibration.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I might add gojimi's Launcher too (I keep hearing very good things about it, but my device is usually in some semi-bricked state, half the time). :eek:
[G Tablet General] P00r:
Since I flashed the last Clemsys Kernel (9) I did not had ANY calibration issue, can someone else confirm this, I am surprised of this myself...

The screen is much more responsive than it used to be...
[G Tablet General] bso44:
Does this have any drawbacks? Any chance that it'll make your screen TOO sensitive?
[G Tablet General] Naysses:
Can this app be installed in the stock rom 3588?
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
Yes. I'm running stock rom until after the next update and I have this installed.
[Desire HD General] baum01:
Hi,

Ever since I got my Desire HD I've not been much of a fan of the camera (really bad quality when it's dark) and standard camera app. It's quite hard to press the button when taking photos and not looking directly on the screen. Do you know how o use one of the physical buttons like the volume ones to take a picture? Or do you have any other advice, e.g. a free phone app where you could at least press anywhere on the screen to focus and shoot?

Thanks a lot!
[Desire HD General] xumuk37:
RE

Hi there. When I take the photos to myself I mostly use the option of face recognition. It works pretty fine and takes foto just after catch your face in a frame and, by the way, you will hear it so that way to have a time to smile :D so you don't need to press anything! Cheers.
[Desire HD General] cappyandroid:
If you buy the pro version of Vignette, there's an option in its' settings to take a picture with the volume keys.

Cheers!
[Desire HD General] xumuk37:
RE

In 2.3 version there is the same option... you can assign shooter to volume keys or to "find" button.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
2.3 version of what? And where is the setting?
[Desire HD General] Sandiman:
After reading this thread I downloaded the free vesion of Vignette.

That allows me to use either the volume button or touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo. I have a "flip" case on my DHD and that makes it a little awkward, but touching the screen is simples.:)

As the free version is classed as a demo I don't know if it will keep let me use these methods or not.

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:

[Desire HD General] istinet:
I'm using GB, but I havn't found that setting. Could you tell us where it is?
[Desire HD General] da_ch0sen_1:
In the camera app press menu -> advanced options. Create shortcut there.
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Create shortcut? After going to Camera -> menu-> Advanced just tick which buttons you want to use.
[Desire HD General] istinet:
You are using CM7, right?
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
The signature doesn't lie:)
[Desire HD General] istinet:
I've seen it, thats why i asked. I always forget to spdate mine (thats why i have no sign ATM). Anyway thanks for the reply, but i'm on RCMix, so there's no such setting on my DHD :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotsman828:
I'm considering buying an Atrix soon.

So my idea is, can I use the HDMI connection with a flat screen to use the Atrix as a mini-puter? I don't want to tether, so if I could use the HDMI connector with a flat screen, in theory the Atrix could work like a mini PC or laptop correct? This would allow me to avoid paying AT$T for tethering.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Dawg 23:
Yes this can be done when you root and apply the hack.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfhuk:
You could use the multimedia dock and plug a keyboard and mouse in as well.

Just a suggestion, noticed it had usb ports for doing just that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khoops66:
there is a webtop mod after a simple root process. Don't buy the dock imho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotsman828:
I had no intention of buying the dock. Way over priced. Actually all the accessories are way too expensive.
[A7 General] deepmagic:
I have been running my a7 with dexter's mod 1.4 for about 1 1/2 weeks...everything has gone well. This afternoon I turned on the device and it failed to complete boot. The word Android would come up and then nothing. I tried to reboot, reset, but device would do neither...nor would it turn off completely. I kept trying to take it into recovery mode and then after several tries was able to wipe, do update again, and get everything back as before. What would cause this and should I look for this to happen again? deepmagic

My a7 was running well for about a week since it quit...but today when I booted up device, it failed to recognize sd card...same card used for updating to mod 1.4...same card I've been using to listen to my music, etc...but now won't recognize...I've tried two different micro sdhc cards..formatted, reformatted, but device continues to display mount sd card...all else works fine! Does anyone have any new ideas? I can't even reinstall mod since a7 can't read my cards. Thanks for any input that would be helpful. I understand these issues are ongoing for many out there...what to do?
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Mine has hung on a black screen on me. Seemed that it didn't fully come out of sleep mode.

I was able to recover by holding the power button for 15 seconds to hard power down. No data loss.
[A7 General] mickanne:
Exact same thing happened to me this morning. Tried to reset - not happening. Hard powered down. Don't have time to try anything else right now. I'm new to the forums and new to android. Wish me luck! I've been loving my A7, and much appreciation to Dexter and all the other knowledgeable hackers/modders/posters.
[A7 General] omgitzdpwner:
hey the same thing happened 2 me twice. Once the first day after i got it, since i had only had it for 1 day i wiped it reinstalled dexter's mod 1.41 and it worked. First app i installed was backup root. Now, a week later the exact same thing is happening. This time i dont want to wipe it because of all of the apps i have installed, games ive played etc. Any ideas? Could we just try reinstalling dexter's md without wiping? Or wiping reinstalling and recover from a backup?

Also have you installed busybox? I had just installed it both times before it failed to turn on. Maybe its just coincidence but you never know..

-D

Thanks to anyone who can help! and also thanks Dexter for all your hard work as well as everyone else that has contributed to the elocity, im lovin it! (when it works :) )
[A7 General] omgitzdpwner:
success!!!!

I got it to work! I don't have a permanent fix but if it happens again just boot into recovery and reinstall the dexter's mod update 1.41 and it works again! No wiping required. This isn't a permanent fix but it will work until we find one :)

-Dylan
[A7 General] okantomi:
Hasn't happened to me (yet) but I didn't upgrade to the newest ROM. I'm still using 1.3and it has been very stable. Only issue I've had was when I tried to use Killswitch to go to sleep mode when the cover is shut (great idea) but it didn't work and froze all except the live wallpaper. Weird.

Good luck, guys.
[A7 General] bestialbub:
in the event it does happen to you, you might want to check out my apx thread for reflashing the factory firmware if you can't get your tablet unstuck. theres alternatives if you don't want to get stuck again. ;)
[A7 General] okantomi:
The method you outline seems so complex...way above my abilities, but makes me wish I had followed though on some early programming training opportunities. That was the road not travelled.
[A7 General] bestialbub:
okantomi; while i wouldn't encourage others to follow thru with procedures they fear would cause more harm, i would mention that if you google up my nick you'll find i've been able to do much w/ android software and devices while not knowing anything about programming. if i can do it, anyone can. i just wanted some themes for my phone. ;)

i'm just an android hobbyist by night (and when i get a chance during the day), and a computer tech by day. no programming expertise, but i can reasonably reverse engineer and port software and components using simple file managers like ztreewin(trialware).

don't be mistaken that the folks out there providing you solutions necessarily know anything about programming or software development. just how to chef up files at different levels. i understand this doesn't go for everybody. ;)
[A7 General] okantomi:
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm impressed with what you've been able to do. It is also nice to read upbeat comments about the A7. There is something sort of special about a device that you really almost have to build yourself... putting so much into it... biting your fingernails to nubs with each ROM flashing. You don't get as attached to any device that is 100 percent complete right out of the box, though of course there would be a lot less aggravation.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bso44:
What's a best app/widget to put a power button on your homescreen that'll put your tab to sleep? The ones that I've seen mentioned so far are Tap Tap App, Screen Off and Lock, AnyUnlock and Screen Off.

Any thoughts on which one is the best? Also, being able to wake it up with the volume rocker would be a nice option.

LockMyDroid

You could always use MY app, LockMyDroid.

The advantages are that it's an app instead of a widget so it offers many more ways to lock your screen. Examples:

Set it as the 'Action' for the Clock Tap in FancyWidgets

Add a shortcut to your homescreen

Hold the Home button, if it was one of the last 8 apps used (always is for me) you can lock your phone from that menu

Long-press the 'Search' button on your phone

Launch from app drawer and lock your phone

While you're at it, you could try the new Live Wallpaper that I just put on the market which I fashioned from my failed Google I/O contest entry

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunyantha:
hey everyone,

i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)

However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?

thankyou in advance for any help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzlet:
Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.

I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows

Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunyantha:
hi Dazzlet

i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...

Sorry for being a pest.

[Xoom Accessories] stevenege:
So, after having the WiFi XOOM since launch day I have played with the device to no end, charged it a handful of times or so and have excellent battery life on the device even OC to 1.5 GHZ.

The question I pose here though is if anyone else has these two minor but annoying problems with their XOOM charger. Upon plugging the male pin into the female port on the XOOM the connection is VERY loose and pulls out with the flick of the finger or a gentle movement. This annoys me due to the fact that I like to know my device is secure and plugged in. Say it came out at night while I was asleep and fell into a cup of water (rare chance, but still a possibility) I would probably be a little upset.

The second problem is the male plugs of the charge to female power outlet. This is also one of the cheapest feeling designs I have ever seen for a device that costs $600. This part pulls out with even more ease which is alright I guess at times, but once again I like to fight to get stuff unplugged, I at least know it is in there snug and will not be unplugged by my dog wagging his tail (this actually DID happen the other night while working on some new apps and testing).

Call me grumbles if you want, but if one of my $20 phones that also comes with a charger is stabler than a $600 device I have a bit of a problem with that. My question is if anyone else is having this problem or if this is a controlled case?

Best Wishes.
[Xoom Accessories] fsunoles157:
I can't stand it either. If you move it when its plugged in it comes out
[Xoom Accessories] thunderstruck!:
Mine's extremely loose also. My $20 candy bar phone has a better charger connector than my $600 tablet just like you said.
[Xoom Accessories] velopirate:
I am using the standard dock to charge at work, so I really haven't noticed an issue. I do have another charger at home, but rarely use it.

I'm currently getting W006.25 "ISP or T-Mobile Network" errors. Is this happening to lots of others too? Maybe too many MT3G Slides are now connecting? I get 61ms ping times for the default ip address in the "Ping Network" advanced setting menu item, which seems high to me. (but pinging google.com is 108ms, so this isn't THAT bad.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
I have had that same exact error before. The fix is easy and worked for me. First thing, turn off wi-fi calling, then toggle off the wi-fi itself. Reboot your phone, make sure you have at LEAST a nominal signal so your phone is recognized by the network. Then toggle wi-fi back on, then the wi-fi calling app. Should fix that problem. I had called tech support over this, who told me wi-fi calling was out in my state, then ran across this fix in another forum.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
No such luck. Still getting those errors.

Found out that the kineto app on the mt3g is newer than the one on the g2 (not surprisingly). So if we can find an …-A0-11.3 version of kineto for this thing...

Tmo support went radio silent. But someone from kineto hinted at a possible ota for wifi calling stability. More if I hear anything...
[Xoom Accessories] Giorgist:
It would be great if we could have a Xoom wall mount.

One that would charge the xoom, as well possibly have some extra connections such as HDMI and USB

Minimalism would be great as well

The following is a true eyesore.

Google "padholdr" as I can't post links yet

A negative with any wall mount is that the wakeup button is behind the xoom, but some clever design might make it a positive. Pressing the whole screen could wake it up.

It would be great to use it as a media centre interface even if all it does is plug into an amp

Any pointers for some of the above ?

I feel like designing it my self ...
[Xoom Accessories] jumphour:
Yeah, I've looked at those too....they're ugly as sin. I'd love a more attractive one, so I could hang it by my bed. But I am in no rush yet, since there's no Netflix! I am not having much luck with PlayOn either.

Yeah, power and USB would be great. I just got a wireless USB thingy which is really cool...haven't tried it yet on the Xoom, but it works for other things from across the room. Not my iPod though.
[Xoom Accessories] siscim23:
I think the hard part with something like that would be wiring nicely, unless you mean something that's right under/next to the TV. I'm thinking something next to my couch/bed that's wired to the TV on the other side of the room.
