[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nottach:
When I delete that resources.arsc file a new one is not made for the unsigned built apk. and flashing a framework-res.apk without that file in it leads to a soft brick. Also when I delete the images I edit from the keep folder newly created ones are not made to replace them. So that leads to a softbrick. Do have to run apkmanager as admin or something?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
I get the exact same problem when I delete the resources, nothing new is created. it doesnt make sense.

[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
So I usually sleep with a cup of water on my nightstand, next to my phone. And wouldn't you know it, it finally happened. I awoke to my phone alarm going off, but it was in a puddle of water still plugged in charging.

I grabbed it and it shut off. After trying to dry it out all day I started to get it to turn on, SAMSUNG screen, then ACS screen, and that was it, off it goes again.

Anyway, I opened the back, took the battery out and during inspection I noticed that one of the 3 battery contacts on the phone was not "springey" like the others. So it would turn on if I kept is still, but the second it moved it was shutting off due to losing contact.

Went to a Sprint store and they said they have never seen anything like that, and will cover it under factory warranty (I don't have TEP).

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if you think charging in the water all night may have caused that? Also, I pick up my new phone on tuesday, and should I try to get the old back to stock, and will sprint do anything after I send it back it in if they see that it is rooted?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Well I would get it to stock if u can. If u don't they aren't going to do anything once your phone gets sent out. They will just flash it back. I've never heard of that before.

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
So I was able to get into download mode and followed the "how to return to stock" thread in the dev section to get it back to factory.

Now my question is to those who have made warranty claims, can you bring the phone in w/o a battery when you go to get your new one?
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
I don't know about Sprint, but Samsung doesn't even want the battery/back/SD card. I suspect Sprint is the same way.
[LG Optimus 2x] thatguychris:
I have a new replacement o2x but have noticed when I go to settings and when in applications menu and on running section I force close sns, sky news, f mobile security and a few other stock lg widgets (that I don't use). I exit the menu and later on when I check back all the ones I closed are open again is this right?
[Epic 4G General] Wildheathen0341:
A thought just ran through my head in regards to build quality. In short drop a feather & a brick from about chest high & see what happens.
[Epic 4G General] BWFBezerk:
what is this I don't even.......
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Well, you'll have to understand that build quality can vary greatly when comparing feathers to bricks. Although it would seem that the feather escapes the drop test completely unharmed, you'll notice that there are thousands of micro-fractures from the force of the trauma. The brick, too, will suffer severe cracks and possible breaks, but you'll notice that once you put both subjects under an electon microscope, you'll see that the brick has fewer micro-fractures for a sum of less damage (even though fractured).

That is assuming, of course, a solid surface such as concrete or asphalt.

/Plus, what the heck are you talking about? lol. I want what you're smoking; my stuff doesn't seem that strong.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
So our epic's build quality is strong, however its weight doesn't compensate its strength?

The epic may be plastic, but its some nice engineering
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Its like comparing titanium and steel,titanium is lighter,yet stronger given you use the same weight not thickness; Say if you had a 1" thick steel wall and a 1" thick titanium wall,the steel wall would be stronger in say a penetration test; But use the same material in weight and that 1" wall of titanium becomes a 3" thick wall,which would easily be stronger then a 1" thick steel wall. But seriously anything lighter will have less impact on case and components on the inside,physics 101,and a feather wouldnt get damaged from a drop on the ground.

Ok Im done thinking...
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Dropped mine onto a hard concrete floor about 4 feet. Back popped off, battery popped out, my dad gasped as I said "don't worry, I'm insured" and noticed some minor scuffs/pitting in one corner. I put the phone back together and it's like nothing ever happened.

Samsung physically builds their phones great. I've had 3 of them including my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Wildheathen0341:
If you don't know what I'm talking about then how could you possibly have an answer yet you've offered up one still. Smoking huh? ;-)
[Epic 4G General] Wildheathen0341:
Simple, drop a galaxy S device from about chest high Vs. an iPhone from the same height & what do you think the result would be? Now of course I don't mean on a mattress or any thing like that I mean a surface with very little give, what do you think the outcome would be?
[Epic 4G General] :
One weekend a few months ago I had my phone sitting on my desk charging, and it rang right as I was walking by. I grabbed the phone as I walked by so that I could answer it, but hadn't noticed it was plugged in to the wall two feet down.

As I grabbed the phone and turned to walk away, the cord caught, actually bending around a knob on my desk making a tight point and slipping the phone right out of my hands.

'Oh crap' I thought, and I quickly reached back to snatch it, but my lightning reflexes were not expecting the spring-loaded return the charge cable had initiated, and only the tips of my fingers hit the phone... hard... in an upward motion away from me.

In that moment my phone went from a 3 foot free fall to a high speed projection 7 feet above floor level and landing, cable now detached by force, about 15 feet away. On the floor. Which is tile.

As if that wasn't enough to make a bad situation worse, about 2 hours before I had taken my hard case off as well to swap memory cards and had not put the case back on.

In those 5 seconds from fingertips to floor I had already started wondering how good the insurance policy I had paid in advance for was going to be, but when I picked the phone up off the ground it was 100% intact, not even a scratch on it.

A far cry from any previous phones I have dropped, where a drop from 24" (falling off my lap getting out of a car, etc) would result in the phones exploding every loose panel, battery, etc, scuffing the crap out of the plastics. With the size of the screen on this phone I thought for sure if nothing else the screen would blow up, but not even that.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I was close then =P well my Dad own's a 3GS and dropped it off a Scaffold at 25ft. It worked fine, no scratch since it had invisiShield. Also on a lift at about 45ft. the outer rim bended abit though.
[Epic 4G General] vickpick:
i think the epic's pretty well built
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I accidentally launched mine from my pocket to about 10 feet away across the bar on my birthday. Fell screen down on a sandy floor. Digitizer shattered, but worked fine. Best Buy replaced the deigitizer. Fine now.

[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
I am trying to change my wifes rom on her phone and her trackball is broke. So I installed the latest version of CWM to see if it would enable and need features so I could navigate in recovery. No luck and now I can't back up her via rom manager either I just get an error. So what I am wondering is the an alternate way to work through cwm without the trackball and whats up with this error after I updated it. Thanks in advance for your help :o
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
The error is e: can't open /cache/update.zip

(Bad)

Installation aborted
[Droid Eris General] TheGratefulDead:
Make sure the backup file has no spaces between anything like backup-4627 not backup 4627 no spaces you'll get an error
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
That wasn't the problem just tried and am still getting the same error
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
I believe that this message implies that the download was bad (i.e., and incomplete file or a mis-matched MD5 signature).

I'm not that familiar with ClockworkMod or ROM manager, but have a peek at this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/47399-upgrade-rom-rom-manager-problem.html since it seems to describe what you are seeing.

If you are downloading your first directly to your phone, you can check your MD5 with Astro File Manager (long-press file name, select details, and wait a little bit for the MD5 checksum to appear).

You could also try my app, AFV (Android File Verifier). It has several checksum options, including MD5 and SHA1. You can use its "Verify Jar-type File" to verify the integrity of a signed file even if you don't know the MD5 checksum.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
I am not downloading a rom I have the rom. So that doesn't help much. Any other ideas? no recovery options that doesn't use track ball?
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
Yeah, sorry...I wasn't exactly sure...

I know that ClockworkMod lets you navigate its menus without using the trackball, but most rooted folks use Amon_RA's custom recovery.

A while back, I created a trackball-optional version of Amon_RA's recovery for the Eris. Here's the thread I created over on AF re. this:

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

Here's the post in RA's thread over here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9124095&postcount=83

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
Not sure if this helps but I had the same problem when I flashed my friend fascinate. But they use odin to flash their clockwork (voodoo) I had to run the root script then install the rom to fix the update.zip. Any ideas?:confused:
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
lol...sorry, no. I've only heard that Odin (timely Thor-related reference, eh? ;)) is used for the Samsung phones.

There are others around that know and have used ClockworkMod on the Eris, but they are relatively few and far between (plus, things certainly seem to be slowing down in the various Eris forums recently). There have also been some unexplained brickings of phones using CWM that have scared off potential users of that custom recovery, so most have stayed with and use Amon_RA's.
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
Well thanks for your help so far is their a post on how to set up adb so I can flash Amon_RA. I think my problem is that I rooted with amon and just downloaded rom manager so I put CWM on it.. Must be affecting my update.zip :(
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
Yes, at the bottom of the first post in the AF forum thread are the installation instructions and one of them is how to do it with adb ("Scenario 4").

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

Sounds like you are already familiar with adb, so you should be very close ;).

Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] superdusto:
You saved me Thank you so much for your time here have some thanks!!! :D
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
You are most welcome! Glad you got things going :).

I keep getting these warm-and-fuzzies from folks that my efforts for building the trackball-optional recovery was well worth it (with kudos and thanks again to RA for his help in filling-in the key gaps in how to build it).

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] Sparticusx:
My trackball has not worked pretty much since I bought the phone. I have found is you plug in your usb charger and lift up firmly the trackball works with no issues at all. Just FYI. And here's to the dev's that keep our end of life eris fast and up to date. And no sense thank GOD. lol
[Droid Eris General] C.Hatfield:
Yep, that is a definite way to work it ... I was unable to ROOT for over 2 months after getting my Eris b/c my trackball didn't work. It wasn't until I found this advice over in DF that I was finally able to negotiate the recovery menu.

HOWEVER (!!!) After almost a year of moderate flashing/recovery use, my USB/AC charger barely works anymore. I have to put weight on the USB near the connec w/ the phone to get it to recognize & charge.

I have tried to install the Amon_ra trkball not req script but couldn't get it to work ... I just use CWM these days b/c I don't need to use the damn thing !

Good thing I am coming up for an UPGRADE :D

Memorette 32GB

The 32GB MemorETTE cards can be purchased online for about $10 per card in quantities of 15.

How many people think that a $10 card with that capacity/Class 10 can actually exist in the year 2011?

I tend to think these are knock-offs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] threestripebrand:
Yeah at that price, what you are getting is most likely a 2 gb card that has been hacked to read 32gb. When you go to add your media or whatever, everything after 2gb is currupt and not really there since you ran out of space after the actual card size.

Just FYI I bought this card off ebay and I have to say DO NOT BUY!! As it was mentioned some where else. it will write like 2 or so GB then all the rest of the data becomes corrupt.

[EVO 4G Accessories] bigblue206:
I also had a bad experience with this product. I could put 32 gb worth of info on it but it would never read all of the info. I mostly used it for movies and I would put about 10-15 movies on it ( each movie about 1gb) but I would only be able to watch the first couple of movies once I put the card in my tablet. My computer and tablet would show that it had 32gb on it so I just though it was my device and not the card. I think I am screwed because I bought it 3 months ago. What Ebay seller did you Buy it from. Maybe if we all bought it from the same person then Paypal will allow me to open a case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] businka19:
Hi, I bought it from generalprixtop. I just got my money back from Paypal so the claim is definitely recognized. Hopefully u could get yours back as well, though 3 month is a long time. Why did u wait this long anyway?

I have one of these - 32gb memorette sdhc. Does not work well in my HTC Sensation. pictures start disappearing, video doesn't play back, carded apps begin to fail.

Now here's the odd bit - seems to work fine in Lumix G2 camera. Pics, video all stay just fine. Even when i put this in my phone after - the lumix G2 pics stayed on the chip and could be viewed on the phone fine but anything taken on the andriod phone started to become corrupt after a hour or so.

Can anyone else do this test??

***** I now think this is because the camera does add extra data so its not going over the 2gig which these cards are most likely to be. Got refunded anyway *****
[EVO 4G Accessories] Archer:
Most, if not all, cheap cards are exactly that.

A mate of mine just bought 10 32GB cards for about $10 each. They turned out to be a mixture of 1GB and 2GB cards and when questioned, the seller admitted that he knew this and refunded the money.

They do it because for every 10 people that ask for their money back, 1 person won't. If you buy any of these, DO NOT BE THAT 1 PERSON!!!

I purchased mine through Alibaba or Aliexpress (something like that) direct import. The trick they have is that it takes longer than a month to get the product and you cant return crap after a month. I just chalked it up to another learning experience.
