[Nexus S General] sotorious:
I called best buy, i called t-mobile and back to asurion, nothing but the good ol run around. I even asked t-mobile if they can make me eligible for an upgrade again since i didnt want the vibrant. I explained to them why i didnt want it, stock android vs touch wiz. So i think im just going to end up buying a new phone. try to extract the photos and maybe send it in for the insurance and sell the vibrant.
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
It's easier to give someone the shuffle off when on the phone. It isn't as easy in person. Isn't there authorized repair centers that work with t-mobile? They would take one look at it and ask if I had insurance and then order me another one. Then they'd take the old phone and send it back. You sign a paper or two, maybe might have to pay a deductible. I know with sprint, I've never got the run around with a repair center.
[Nexus S General] sotorious:
I asked best buy that, they asked if i had their insurance plan, which i didnt, which i guess now i wish i should have gotten. I asked them if i give you the phone and pay whatever deductible you want will you be able to do it for me? they kept telling me no.
[Nexus S General] Arcarsenal:
How long ago did you buy the Nexus from Best Buy? If it was within 30 days you might just try calling them and trying to add the Black Tie (or whatever it's called) replacement plan. I think they just need the IMEI, but I have never used their service.

No need to mention that the phone is borked. And to all of your moralists out there, I'm not telling him to defraud anyone- I'm pretty sure BB gives you 30 days (might be less) from your purchase date to add on that extra warranty.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
The buttons might not vibrate if she turned haptic feedback off or if the screen is locked. (Plugging it into a computer will unlock the screen.) Yes, if you get a beep & quick vib from voice search, that means the touch buttons work, so hopefully the rest of the touchscreen will work.

Oh, and all this is assuming that the phone powers on, and that she didn't have a password on the phone. Step 2 should confirm this.

.

You're not totally screwed, but you will have to move on to a hardware hack.

If you get another Nexus S, take the motherboard out of the old one and put it in the new one. Assuming the internals are ok, you can copy everything off of the sdcard, then swap the motherboard back into the old one & get the insurance replacement. (You can probably also get most of the data off the phone storage, but it's a bit tedious without root. Let me know if you want help with that.) Taking the phone apart is actually not as hard as it might sound. There's a pretty good guide at http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1 . Stop after step 6, and skip the NFC part of step 3. All you need is a small phillips screwdriver and a little patience. (An anti-static wrist strap is never a bad idea.) The hardest part is probably just unplugging the connectors.

Oh, and make sure you find out how long you have to file the insurance claim after the incident. As someone who has spent many hours inside a cell phone claims center --- well, lets just say I don't buy the insurance anymore. Oh, and arcarsenal, we defined fraud as "misrepresenting a material fact (such as the date of an incident) to gain something of value." Just sayin.
[Nexus S General] sotorious:
Would they sell a replacement lcd and front glass for the nexus s? I know they sell the LCD i am not sure if they sell the glass. I also bought the phone in January, and my mom has to really want those pictures for me to go as far as a hardware switch :P

From what I could remember, there is an app called QuickDesk which creates another layer for your widgets and shortcuts. Believe it also has an option to display the running apps.

Since Samsung has registered the double click home button shortcut, not sure if you could overwrite it with this app.

Hello,

First of all, i am sorry to post this Black screen, green HTC logo topic. I know there is a lot of different topics about this problem, but reason that I did this is because i cant find any good answer from anywhere.

I was having NAND rom in my HD2 and i desided to change it.

I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090886

MAGLDR v1.13 was allready in my phone and i installed CWM recovery to.

This is what was i did:

1.Wipe data/factory reset

2.Erase all my files from sd card (beacause i wanna fresh start)

3.Putting zip file (Qaliza_Desire_HD_ARA_v1.1_EU_MAGLDR_APP2SD_150M)

to my sd card

4.Run CWM recovery and install zip from sd card

5.After that i reboot and all i get was black screen and green HTC logo.

I think that deleting all my files from sd card was wrong and this the reason why i get stuck.

If this is the reason for this problem can someone please give for my link where i can get all important files back. If something else causes this problem then please tell me!

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I hope you made a backup onf your files on your pc/laptop,because once you delete them,they are gone.

Anyway.Start again.

Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 cache

Go to 5 USB flasher and install recovery using THIS TOOL

Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

Then go to install zip from sd card and reboot.

Give it time.Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

In kitchen, you have to click on the Battery tab, select "use this mod", choose and config the style you want. GENERATE PREVIEW.

Then, you can go through the other tabs (like icons, glowing, etc) and also mod these if you want.

On the file upload tab you have to choose which rom your on and if you want to upload your own framework apk or use one from the kitchen.

When you finished your settings, go to the summary tab. Here you can see which mods u want to cook. Green is ok, orange/red means wrong/incomplete settings, white means 'not used'.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Spencer:
I'm undertaking a stupid project and would like to ask some questions of some more experienced developers. Yes I know there's no practical reason for this, and no you cannot talk me out of it. :-)

I would like to create a sort of "super nerd" adaptation of CyanogenMod for command line Linux junkies, or at least for Comp Sci grad students like myself. I want my phone to be able to recompile and reinstall nearly everything it runs. Yes I know that's a painful and slow operation: I did "emerge tightvnc" on a chroot Gentoo install and the command took about 18 hours. I remain undeterred.

Questions:

Sun JDK is apparently not available for arm7a. Am I reading the docs correctly, and one can indeed use Apache Ant to compile Android? Or is Ant not what I think it is? I'm not opposed to creating a small Bochs VM that boots, mounts a network filesystem, executes some JDK task, and then signals to terminate. I'd rather not if I can help it though.

How much access does the radio hardware get to the rest of the system? If I were to store something personal in an encrypted loopback partition, could someone abuse direct memory access to read from memory without the host OS knowing about it?

Has anyone played with adapting the Android boot process to use System V type init scripts? I'd like to make it easy for Tasker to say "we're running out of memory -- go from init level 5 to something arbitrary, say 7, which stops some services. Oops, still low, go init level 8, which disables more services.

I definitely plan on sharing my work. What do you guys think of the name CyanoGentoo? :-P

Thanks all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Spencer:
Apparently Apache Ant is not what I thought it is.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0AndS0:
Don't know if you're still around but I'm very interested in helping and believe I may already have some solutions for you. If you're still running chroot or another form of ARM Linux distro (Debian based is what I'm coding for at the moment) then check my github

https://github.com/S0AndS0/Debian-Kit-Mods

The readme file has directions on how to clone and run the main modding script which curently has at least one if not two options that'll peek your interest for sure.

One set of options will download and install Java's JDK (either hard float or soft float) and another will download and install jMonkey (a user friendly programing SDK built on eclips) which will get you one step closer to compiling things on an Android device for Android devices. However, I've yet to crack running "Android SDK" because they have yet to reliece an ARM compatible source and "wine" (a Linux package for emulating other CPU's) is still under heavy development, so building Android from source and such is still out of the scope of what I've been able to script up for easy use.

On a side note; a quick google search of my user name and the key words guide, linux, jdk, arm and xda will result in links of what I've written up on enteracting with Linux on Android if you get stuck anywhere.

And if you search "raspberry pi android adb similar:xda" you'll find what I'll likely be working on bringing to Android; after debugging the script I'm working on to set up a Brendle (one of many methods of "cloud computing" availible for ARM) node/network through all availible network interfaces (bluetooth, 3G/4G, wifi) on Android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Spencer:
I am still around, and when I get a chance I'll take a look. I think I'm mostly satisfied with AIDE and chroot Ubuntu.

And those worried about dma exploits via radio hardware need only use a wifi-only device with a portable hotspot, I've concluded. No way to prevent these exploits otherwise.

Thanks again.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
I just saw a face of between the xperia arc and the GS2. I was utterly shocked by just how much of a beating the arc took off the GS2. If it were a boxing fight, it would have been over quicker than the Tyson/ Spinks bout which ended in 9 secs.

My initial thoughts of the arc were that it was a great phone but having only a life span of about a year because of the cpu (in other words it would only be good until the next gen of apps that require or at least take full advantage of dual core technology come out). Seeing it up against the GS2 has changed all that. I just don't think despite it's great design that it is a phone worth getting in 2011. I saw a review in which the reviewer described the arc as a first gen high end device while the GS2 was a next gen high end device. In my opinion, from the face off between the two phones, that was a very generous description of the arc. The truth is that the bar for high end devices has been raised quite substantially, especially with respect to performance, that last years high end specs are now this years mid range specs. You can rightly infer from that that the arc is a mid range device(bravia screen or not).

The performance and functionality of the GS2 are just light years ahead of the arc. I saw a while back, the face off between the x10 on 1.6 and the galaxy s on 2.1 and although the galaxy s won, the gap between the two phones was much narrower. It seems SE, far from catching up with the competition, are in actuality falling further behind (in software and hardware development).

In conclusion, in my opinion if you own an x10, stay well clear of the arc especially with gingerbread coming to the x10 soon. By the time your contract is up, maybe SE would have come up with a dual core phone that's worthy of an upgrade. The ARC is most certainly not that phone.

I used to think like that too but I am sorry, the performance and smoothness of gs2 just kills the arc. It's almost a joke. Why would you buy a vastly inferior device just because of it's design and brand name. That's the height of superficiallity and if I might add, stupidity. I mean you would not choose a single core computer over a multi core one just because of its looks now would you.

Whether or not there aren't the apps that need dual core available is now in my opinion secondary. Primarily the performance and features of the gs2 just dwarf that of the Arc. SE fanboys should just get a grip, climb down from the clouds, and face the very naked truth.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
Look, SE has said publicly that they have decided to not compete on hardware. They are not aiming for cutting edge hardware but for the more stylish middle market. They claim to be happy with this decision. They get to make more markup by using not so hot and costly hardware. On the other hand they have not sold a tenth of the phones that Samsung sold with software defects. Even the Play has been criticised for the dim screen and lacklustre cpu/gpu combination. (And the Play will shortly compete with the Vita whose hardware is really next generation and lists at half the price!)

So to buy SE phones you have to have a different reason. Style, software, support, price. They blew the support confidence with the X10, and are trying to rebuild that with extended updated firmware promises to keep x10 owners quiet while they attempt to sell Arc/Play/Neo worldwide.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
Well if they have officially decided to go with style over substance, then I am afraid its a decision they will bitterly regret. Their competitors in the style stakes (apple & dell) are not exactly going to stand still with hardware. They don't have to have the best hardware specs delivering the ultimate performance but they certainly need to have a worthy contender and then let their great design carry them over the line.

SE need to shape up quickly and I feel maybe some new blood at the very top of the company (especially on the Ericsson side of the equation) is badly needed.

Don't get me mistaken for some kind of Samsung fanboy or SE hater. I am myself predisposed to SE phones and want to see them at least staying within range of the competion. If that means we SE users have to keep pointing this out to them wherever we can, then this we should do until they wake up from this deep slumber. This way rather than, as I have heard many, wishing for a SE shell with HTC entrails or some other combination, we can someday end up with a real king from SE.
