[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
All I did was ask if I will have a warranty with a phone from ebay, and if it was possible to get one. I never asked for anyone to tell me anything that would violate the terms and conditions. Also, it's not really "unprofitable" to them. If a phone has never been activated on the network, $ hasn't been wasted on warranty replacements and fixes, etc. So, I don't really understand you..? And I really don't feel the need to explain myself to you.

But I didn't make this thread to have people post random excerpts of the terms and conditions. I asked a question, and it was answered.

Now I'm just wondering if a phone bought from ebay that was new would be able to have insurance. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Also, what if it was purchased on a two year contract (by the seller)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
This was from a thread I found from the moderator of the HTC forum:

"HTC will not warranty an item purchased on eBay. HTC Only warranties devices sold thru 'Authorized' dealers. eBay is not an HTC authorized dealer. If the eBay seller is an authorized dealer, then HTC will honor the warranty, but you need a receipt that does not mention that it was purchased thru eBay. HTC does not allow warranty transfers either. You must be the original purchaser, & you must purchase thru an authorized dealer."

Specifically it states that HTC does not allow warranty transfers. So technically it has no warranty with HTC and thus also with T-mobile, since HTC authorizes the warranties.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Hmm, in the warranty terms it says you just need proof of purchase. Nothing about authorized retailers. HTC has also implied you dont need to be the purchaser. So maybe if the person sent the receipt with the auction?

And T-Mobiles and HTC's warranty are different with their terms, HTC will usually repair vs. tmobile will replace, etc. HTC has also said that the warranty is tied to the phone, not to the user.

How do you tell if screen type one or two?

Thats why i want a warranty! Well I just bid on a new in box never used mytouch 4g, lets see how it goes :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
If you plan on doing the warranty through T-mobile then you better hope the rep doesn't look up the issue and see that it explicitly states not to do an exchange on the screen type. HTC turned me down also, as their policy states the same.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Yup It'd probably be good to do the screen one in store.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I'm a proud new owner of a mytouch 4g!

I got it off ebay, brand new, in the box, never used for $349! :D

Now I just gotta figure out the warranty thing while my baby's in the mail
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcool47:
I bought my MT4G off ebay and I still got HTC warranty and tmobile warranty. It's not like they asked me if I bought it off ebay. They just ask what your IMEI number is to verify your warranty and ask what is wrong with the phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Ahh thats great.

Was yours new or used?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
In case anyone was wondering...

I got my mytouch 4g in the mail. I called them to make sure my phone was "in their system". They said no, can I have your IMEI number? I said sure, and gave it two them. They said it'll update in 2 hours. I checked back and said "so is my warranty 'activated'" ? They said yes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcool47:
I got mine brand new still in original packaging. Sorry for late response.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HydroROMs:
HTC will still warranty it.
[LG Optimus 2x] kayway27:
Hey all, seeing as how Wirefly has posted the g2x for being 149.99 on pre-order, I was wondering if it was worth it to jump on the bandwagon quickly, or just wait till the reviews come out. The deal ends on Friday if I am not mistaken, so i just wanted the forums advice;

would you think i should wait for the reviews to come out? is it worth preordering for 50 bux left?

do the pre-order devices generally have a worse build quality compared to a month later purchase? (I know that some people said that the g2 hinge got better as htc improved the hinge over time, but i doub thtat)

also, any comments on wirefly service?

Thanks alot!
[LG Optimus 2x] crazythunder:
i just pre ordered mine from walmart-no tax. wirefly taxed me in ny 48 bucks. thats for retail. so with fedex overnight on walmart, it was still cheaper than wirefly. to hell with the reviews lol. just look at the o2x reviews. this will be even better as it's vanilla flavored.
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
You can safely go ahead an buy the g2x :)

When you are getting a phone that already has been launched in other places all over the world and now with vanilla android, you shouldn't worry about the software quality!

So go ahead and save a few bucks
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
My advice would be make sure you're able to return it. I suspect software is at the core of people's problems on the 2x, but in the event it is hardware, it may be difficult to return because many of the problems (like reboots) are random and would be difficult to reproduce in front of staff.

When the phone isn't playing up, it's great.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gerbetta33:
Z4root doesn't work with optimus v. I used superoneclick to root, it went perfectly. There is a guide in the optimus v development subcategory made by sublimewulf that worked perfectly for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] skinfingers001:
I tired it that way to but it kept saying waiting for device...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gimp1045:
here are a couple things to check..

1) check to see if your usb drivers are installed and are working correctly

2) make sure usb debugging is enabled (settings -> applications -> development)

and one last thing, which you may already practice on a regular basis..

be sure to read through the guides thorougly (multiple times if necessary) to make sure you're not missing any steps
[Optimus One, P500, V General] skinfingers001:
I did but it still said waiting for device.... I've tried it multiple time..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] droidboy850:
Just download the file and put it on your sd card and then go into astro or any other file manager and install it. Works great! Make sure to set the space from the bottom setting to whatever fits with your lock screen.

I'm on VirusRom and I'm using:

Typeface: Serif

Font Size: Small

Space from bottom: Bottom Middle-High

It fits PERFECTLY. First picture is from receiving a call while in lock screen, second picture is receiving a call while using the phone while unlocked.

NOTE: You Don't Have To Be Rooted To Use This. Make Sure You Have Unknown Sources Checked Under Applications.

I think I remember when this guy got his app removed. Pretty sure it works well. Scan it with Privacy Blocker :)

Thanks OP
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Zomb!e:
It's fine. I've used it in the past. And many others use it as well. Verizon must have not liked the dev hurting their profits.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
OK Cool, thank you.

Yeah, I can see verizon doing that. I remember when it got pulled

I believe it's 15 days or something like that. It used to be anyway. Then it will ask you to subscribe for like $2 a month.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HarlyFan:
Where do you go to clear the Cache? In applications it will not allow you to click on it, is there another place to look???
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] my_handle:
clearing data works. I tried it and it works. When opening it and checking subscription says trial ends in 15 days
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Bigandrewgold:
pro tip, you can remove city id from your app drawer through the app even if you are not rooted by doing it through the app
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Fwiw, Verizon had no hand in getting this app pulled. A company named cequint threatened to sue for patent infringement.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HarlyFan:
Clearing data did not reset the app for me any other suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yareally:
I'd like to know how the developer violated a patent (let alone how one could be issued) for what amounts to a simple SQL table lookup (i.e. 614 -> Columbus). Patent system is messed up if that can be patented, since patents need to show novelty and no prior art.

I'm guessing the developer just didn't feel like fighting it too hard since he was doing it for free anyways.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
You're welcome to Google it and read about it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yareally:
I poked around and read for a bit about it and sadly it seems his blog is no longer around that had much of the relevant first person information on the ordeal. However, the patents he "infringed" on are up and some other various articles on it.

From one of the patents:

I'm not a patent lawyer and there might be more to it, but to me, that says one is infringing if it's involving the CMDA microchips in the phone. However, only having the application run on top of the OS and gathering information only the OS would provide would seem admissible to me.

I welcome anyone else's input that knows more about the ordeal or read his blog when it happened to chime in. I'm curious to know if he tried contacting organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation about it other than he basic legal fund he set up and then gave back the donations after coming to the conclusion it wasn't worth fighting over.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
Thanks for this. I used this app when it first came out, long before it was pulled from the market. Unfortunately, I lost the apk. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ssethv:
PIMPIN.... thank you much :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] marvinmadman:
On the stock ROM the position needs to be a little higher. The call screen is ok, but the lock screen drag bar is overlapping the city text. Both could be a little higher.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] reyxlp:
I can't seem to get this app to work on my Thunderbolt.

Seems to have installed properly but I don't get any of the caller id data during incoming calls and when I try to use the "test call" it gives me a network error and "lookup phone number" leads to a force close.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] reyxlp:
Ooops, nevermind -- just need to adjust where it's displaying the caller id data.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HarlyFan:
Is this possible to change it does need a higher option in the settings....
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhaymond:
Total thanx to developer. Unsubscribe from Verizon's and now use this. All you developers are great and totally appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] failedangrmgmt:
it worked for me, heres what i did, go to settings, apps, all aps, city id, hit clear data, it will ask you if you are sure you want to clear data. yes, you are sure. select the city id app from the app drawer and go to check for updates, it should update. then check your subscription status, 15 days again.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TyThunder:
I don't know about you guys but clearing data in city Id no longer works for me. I think they got hip to what was going on. So I just downloaded this to try it. But it says the developer is being sued.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper_1986_1986:
So had some issues getting CM7 on, but after a bit of work got it.

But just for the heck of it i wanted to go back to stock. I downloaded serveral versions of PD15IMG.zip all same file size and MD5 values.

When giong to the hboot screen it comes up with some errors saying PD15daig.zip not found and PD15daig.*** (cant remember all the ext)

I am directly placing the PD15IMG.zip on the SD card in the root. I am not sure at all why is not loading, from what i understand i should get a loading bar in the top right of the screen and then after a moment it should promt me to flash?

Anyways, hboot info is

S-off

hboot 0.86.000

microp-0429

radio-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

[date here]

Any help would be great.

My phone is working just fine with CM7 but i WOULD like the optoin to flip back over to stock OEM with s on
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootaToota:
DID ANYONE EVER ANSWER THIS? I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SEARCHED HOURS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS. Why is this still here unanswered?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
What method of root did you use? If you used the gfree method, you can't just go back to stock by flashing the PD151IMG.zip file.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Make sure your SD card is formated to the fat 32 file system. Also a common mistake in windows 7 ppl will name the file PD15IMG.zip.zip
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Incorrect. You definitely can go back to stock after gfree using PD15IMG.zip (I did), but you will retain S-OFF.

Also just to be sure, the file name is PD15IMG.zip, not PD151IMG.zip. The number in the middle is 15, not 151.

In addition to the .zip.zip issue, I will also point out that some microSD cards simply aren't recognized by the MT4G bootloader. My class 2 16 GB microSD never works for PD15IMG, but the class 4 8 GB that came with the Panache does work every time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryptision:
When hboot checks the sdcard for updates it will give you a choice either yes or no. Volume up is yes click for updating. How long should a Mytouch 4g take to update the radio with PD15IMG.zip? The loading bar on mine goes almost all the way up. I have the Update is in progress... Do not power off the device on my screen for more than an hour. Is this phone toast?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
does it say Fail-PU?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
I recently had a goofy issue like this. I was putting the PD15IMG file on the SD card using the ADB Push command.

That was my problem. (I have no idea why). But ADB was only pushing like 99.99% of the file. It was exactly 53 bytes short every single time.

I put the file on the SD card using the drag and drop method from my computer's file manager. The entire file went and it worked like a charm.

If the bootloader isn't flashing the PD15IMG file it's because it sees something wrong with it. Try another method to get the file onto the SD card and see if you get a better result.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tKoHaXoR:
3 Steps to Prepare a PD15IMG.zip so that HBOOT will recognize it

BACKUP MICRO SD CARD CONTENTS BEFORE YOU PROCEED!!

1. Format Micro SD card to FAT32 (Sometimes larger micro sd cards won't be recognized by hboot, so try using 4GB and below)

2. Make sure you rename it to PD15IMG.zip and not PD15IMG.zip.zip (Very common mistake with windows users because hidden known file extensions are enabled.

3. Double check md5sum or check the file properties to make sure the size of the file remains unchanged when its on your computer and when its copied over to the micro sd card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryptision:
At that time no fail-pu were showing, as of this morning I get a fail-pu for the bootloader only. Also in ADB I found that it could not read mmcblk i.e. unable to read MBR
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bab23384:
I had the same issue, it is resolved now. What I did, backup my sdcard data to pc. Format(partition) sdcard using CWM recovery(you can use ubuntu too). Put back everything to sdcard. Now hboot is able to load PD15IMG.zip file. I am using 8GB class 4 sdcard. Hope will work for you too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
So I am running SalvageMod, they have their own set of wallpapers.

Then there are the "system" wallpapers that come with 2.3.3

Then I also have a folder on my SD card that I dropped in there from a ZIP I found online.

How can I combine, at least, the GB wallpapers with the Salvage Mod wallpapers? Since they are both on the internal storage of the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstuckmaier:
The easiest option is to use 7zip to open the apk files for the backgrounds and extract the backgrounds. You can then have them all in a folder on your SD.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
I guess Im curious to know where the system wallpapers and where the Salvage wallpapers are located on the internal memory.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
System/app and then some sort of wallpapers apk. Wallpapers are in an app.
[Epic 4G General] LandRoverAttack:
Hi, this is my first root/custom ROM attempt and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

I started by installing the Android SDK and following these instructions. I got into the ClockworkMod Recovery, made a backup and installed the zip in this thread. This is the start of my troubles. When I tried to reboot, it would attempt to boot, then reboot into the Samsung recovery. I could get back into the CWM Recovery fine holding the 3 buttons.

From here I've tried everything to get back into the OS. I've wiped it several, restored my backup, tried installing a custom ROM, tried installing the stock rom, and installed the stock ROM from Odin.

Now all that happens is I see the Samsung logo for about 4 seconds before CWM Recovery shows up. Every time I reboot and any time I turn on the power from taking the battery out, it's the only thing I see.

What can I do to get back on the path and get my device working again?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
ODIN your device back to stock (EC05 is the latest, use the pre-rooted one)

Then continue about your life.
[Epic 4G General] LandRoverAttack:
I think that I have done this. Is the .tar in this thread the right one? Because I have flashed that with Odin twice to no avail.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
I had this same exact issue. Even after I Odin'd back to EC05. I ended up Odin'ing back to EB13...allowing it to boot up completely....then Odin'd to EC05. Then all worked just fine. Trust me...I was flipping **** when this happened to me so I just because trying anything and everything.
