[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
You might get turned away in the first instance, but that doesn't mean that the service centre are right from a legal perspective. And it doesn't mean you couldn't argue your case and succeed in getting it fixed for free. I admit it is a grey area... but I personally wouldn't accept their position if they turned me away for having a custom rom on there if I felt I could show that it hadn't caused the problem. Equally, I would only return it without stock rom in the first place, if there was no way to return to stock... and that means a serious hardware failure or a software bootloader one. The software one wouldn't leave me a leg to stand on, and the hardware one I'd fight every time!

But then I'm also a cautious soul too, and have so far only used Kies to update, and am therefore currently on JPY... but the custom roms will come at some point! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaAra:
Thank you all for advices :)

I contacted the shop where I bought my SGS and they again contacted Samsung. I am to send my SGS to them and then wait for "judgment" I guess. Hope ofcourse they want refuse warranty, but if they do I have no idea how much it will cost me, probably be better off buying a SGS II (doubt my wallet will allow that though.... :( )

Let you know what happens.

Again thanks for advices :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vincethave:
I bricked my SGS twice. Nothing worked anymore.

Went back to the retailer where i bought it and simply told them: It crashed and would not react anymore to any hardware buttons of what so ever.. AND!.... twice the sended it to repair without any charge. So it wil be most likely that they will reflash it for you for free ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vincethave:
Mine was reflashed twice

I bricked mine twice (rooted my phone and did a bit to much of modification) and twice they flashed new firmware to it.. without any costs. (told them a stupid lie :P)

I personaly think that if your phone does not boot, how can they see what you've done to it.

So most likely that will be your case to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trip007in:
Generally if phone does not boot, they will try to bring it in to down load mode first and if they succeed flash it with stock firmware. There is no chance of correcting the soft brick if it does not boot due to hardware failure. Sam service centre techy s are not really that brilliant to find out real cause. Even if one centre denies to repair, you can approach the other centre.

Hey does anyone knows where the gsm antenna is located in the Desire Z?

Hope anyone knows.

thank you ollidiemaus
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
I believe it is located along the bottom of the back of the phone, about a half inch strip. When I cover up that area with my hand, my signal drops a bar or two. Also I recall reading in the safety booklet that came with my phone (yes, I actually read it.lol) that there is a antenna located in that area.

also if it matters, wifi/bluetooth antenna is on the opposite end (the top, by the speaker grill)

[Android Themes] eSu.Matix:
So here is what I'm wondering about. I decide to buy Launcher Pro Plus, but I reinstall my ROM often and I was thinking: "Am I gonna be able to upgrade to Launcher Pro Plus if I reinstall my rom, or I must play another 3€?". And what if I change my android accout, if I forgot password? Can I still use my Launcher Pro Plus if I have key? or I must pay 3€ for each gmail accout?

Can someone tell me does LauncherProPlus gives you a key which you can use aftere new rom and is it locked to your google acount?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] TsunKit:
Yeah when you buy it you receive an email with a code (I did at least), and everytime you flash a rom and have to re-download LPP or whatever, you can just go to unlock and then type in your paypal email and the key that was emailed you you. So once bought, you'll always be able to unlock it.

:)
[Android Themes] eSu.Matix:
But I mean if I change my google accout. I must use my paypal accout to activate my Launcher Pro Plus. Or I must use adnroid accout?
[Android Themes] manast:
If you buy the new Launcher Pro Plus from Market, then it is locked to your Google account. If you want to use a new Google account, then you will have to buy LPP again.
[Android Themes] Onumis:
When you activate the key though it only asks you for your email which you bought it with. You sure it wouldn't let you go through with activating it if you still had all the original purchase information in it?
[Android Themes] bortak:
To clarify:

Okay let me just clarify this for everybody.

LauncherPro is NOT locked to your account. Once you have bought it, they send a code to your email account. When you are unlocking LauncherPro you type in the email you bought it with (doesn't matter if it's different to your google account), and type in the code they gave you.

Another awesome thing is once you have the code you can use it on as many devices as you possibly want. I unlocked it for sever friends (I know I'm so nice).
[Android Themes] ageesm:
That isn't entirely true. LPP previously had to be bought through paypal. In this case you are correct. However, since the release of 0.8.5 there is now a Market Unlocker that you can purchase through the market which would tie it to your google account. AFAIK, you can still choose to buy it through paypal and get an unlock code that way (allowing you to then use it on a different phone/google account in the future).

Btw, unlocking for your friends isn't being necessarily being nice. I believe the intention of using multiple devices is in case you change your device or possibly your google account, it is meant for convenience, not so you can share with your buddies and essentially steal from the dev. It isn't for me to judge, but just pointing it out...
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Not cool. Fede makes something great that you and your friends use everyday. Support the devs that make your phone better, don't steal from them.

I've never had to re-purchase LPP, you shouldn't have any problems. The LPP widgets are great, especially once you get a nice skin for them. :)
[Android Themes] bluedriver:
why do not just simply backup and restore in LauncherPro settings??

thats what i do all the time and with no problem at all!!

in seconds, not minutes!

i always have my LauncherPro backup folder in my SDCard and when i flash a new rom, choose "Restore Backup" voilá!
[Android Themes] tudort:
My Google Nexus S doesn't find the Launcher Pro Plus Unlocker app in market so i cannot buy the program :(. Any Solutions ?
[Android Themes] Straightflush:
Uninstall, go to website and do. 84 and just PayPal? I don't really know how it works now (since I've had plus for ages) but it should work

What do you mean by ... '' do 84 an just paypal ''
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNUS82:
I just rooted and installed Streakmod with the MultirecoveryFlasher.

Since the StockROM is overwriting my StreakMOD ROM everytime I reboot I'd like to rename the install-recovery.sh file.

So I installed root explorer, went to the file, and selected rename.

Yet I get "WARNING install-recovery.sh cannot be renamed becuase the file system is read-only."

I got root access according to "root checker" and "superuser".

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1astas:

ALL ROMs should be available via torrent. What is the point of using these annoying upload sites that limit your bandwidth and/or drop connections if you're using the "free" feature. Why don't other ROMs go up on torrents? I for one welcome your torrents even if I'm not downloading any of them!

Thanks for your effort! Somehow, the link doesn't work anymore, but I've generated a bunch of torrents myself... for CyanogenMod releases and nightlies.

The torrent-bot runs a few times a day, so it should pick up the latest nightlies without too much delay.

I had my Asus since Wed and everything was good. Last night I decided for the first time completely turn it off for the night. This morning I hit the power button and it will not boot up to the OS. It right stuck at Asus welcome screen. I try several times and its still hangs at the welcome screen. I had no issues with the update from last week (the one where others were bricking their tablet) Last night it had 50% battery life. Any suggestions?:(

The only thing that works is the sleep mode for the screen. every 5 minutes screen turn off (sleep mode) Asus support suggest I let the battery drain and then try again.....this completely sucks.

I did install some new softwares yesterday could that have cause this issue? Any way thanks guys for your help
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
It's pretty rare for an app to make a device need a full reset nowadays, but it can still happen. It's more likely you had some OS bug though to be honest. If your transformer gets into difficulties in the future then try the force power off method as it seems to right quite a few wrongs. Anyways glad you got it working again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
To me it sounds like the update was still actually stored in your memory and ran itself again which is why you saw the android screen with progress bar. Looks like you clearing data got rid of the update file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
I have no idea what happen. Couple of days ago I did drain the battery and it after charging it up it did boot up fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostfaceg35:
This just happened to me......and now my transformer isn't wanting to boot up using volume up+power. :(

Doh, volume DOWN + power lol. Wiping data, hopefully it fixes it. Hassle though. Gonna have to redownload a bunch of apps now ugh.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
Happen again....:mad::mad:and it looks like VTL Launcher.1.6.2 is the software that is causing it to not boot up correctly. This is the same app I installed Sat. night and come Sunday after a shutdown it will not boot up. Tried it again today, and its not booting up.....ahhhh

What is this hard boot up you guys talking about? I held onto the power button for 5-6 seconds and I got the Asus EEE pad screen and then get the welcome screen and it just stays there. ahh looks like I have to wipe out the tablet again..not cool at all.......:mad::mad: btw after installing VTL Launcher I also set it to default could this be the cause of it not booting up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paultrevino:
Same issue here...

So, I am getting the same problem here...

Wipe works and then it loads the rest of the way, but I cant get it to load without a full wipe.

I do have VTL installed, so that may be the case. I cant imagine that doing it though.

Anyone else have any more information on this?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
Yeah my advice dont use VTL....:D IF VTL is set as default launcher and if you try to reboot it will get stuck at the welcome screen. The issue is VTL. I am using ADW right now and the issue is gone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paultrevino:
Gotcha... VERY good to know. Do you have any idea if the problem persists when VTL isnt the default launcher but is still installed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
If you dont select VTL as a default launcher then you shouldnt have no issues rebooting your TF even if its installled. Its just annoying cause every time I hit the home button the system ask me which launcher do I want to use. So if you want to use VTL as default then make sure you dont reboot. If you need to reboot then remove VTL as default before rebooting your TF
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
sounds plausable - i had a similar problem on my HTC Desire with early releases of SPB Mobile Shell. Fine until reboot and then just looped. luckily i had a nadroid i could recover to.

My advice is always keep at least one backup on your device :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Fixed: stuck booting when VTL is set as the default launcher.

Yikes found this thread, Why would ASUS make the default launcher so tightly coupled???

Edit: heres the easy fix using adb to uninstall vtl launcher

Install java/adb

plug in your transformer to your PC using the propritary dock->usb cable. Your transformer should be at the ASUS loading page (stuck indefinitely)

install the usb/adb driver. On windows 7 this was automatically downloaded and installed from windows update. size=8.5MB

open a "cmd" window, run this command: "adb devices"

This is what I get and it verifies that adb is talking to the transformer.

C:\Users\meeeeee>adb devices
List of devices attached
37c624540e14597 device

run this command at the cmd prompt to uninstall VTL launcher. Root not needed, usb debugging needs to be turned on.

adb uninstall com.vtlab.launcher

you should see a "success message"

Look at your transformer it should be at the login screen.

Use the Vibrant Toolkit and then click Flash to Stock and then press "Reboot into Download + Start ODIN" (ignore the "Check that USB debugging mode is enabled" because you're already in download mode), it'll open up ODIN and then follow the instructions for using ODIN.

From bay_wolf's post, some information about setup of odin,

Note: there are instructions on how to use odin on the Flash To Stock screen. All the files you'll need will be downloaded with the download for the vibrant toolkit.
