[Thunderbolt General] Jaxidian:
This is the right answer. If you bricked it via your own doing (read hacking and screw something up or it bricks from an experimental radio that was leaked) and return it as defective, that's kinda like opening up a can of Coke at the grocery store, drinking it, and then sitting it on a shelf and not buying it. Nobody will probably see you and you probably won't get caught. But it's wrong.

If an OTA from Verizon bricked it, then return it.

But before you resort to either of the above answers, talk to some people here (or in IRC) first. You can probably fix it and probably won't need to return it. :)
[Thunderbolt General] deanrobbins:
My Droid X was covered when the Gingerbread OTA bricked it, but I couldn't have had it covered if I rooted it and was installing a custom ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] chrootz:
You will not able get replacement without insurance and you will end up pay full amount cost of TB for the replacement. sucks
[Thunderbolt General] dalrym05:
Haha. I'm laughing. Not true.
[Thunderbolt General] iifuzz:
thx guys :)
[Thunderbolt General] asoccer345:
They probably wouldn't know.
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
They have a new policy now, if you send back a phone that would not have been covered under warranty, the tech at the warehouse will take pictures and email them to you as proof.

They will then proceed to charge you up to $300 on your bill. Non-negotiable, non-refundable.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I sent a phone in due to random reboots. Show me how they would know the difference if unrooted. /sarcasm

People just unroot your phone before taking it anywhere or sending it anywhere.
[Thunderbolt General] dalrym05:
And now I'm laughing even harder! My chest hurts. I think yo guys gave me a heartattack.
[Thunderbolt General] Carnage9270:
I couldn't agree with you more. Too many people abusing the root process. You chose to root your phone. You knew what the consequences could be. But YOU decide to return it for warranty when you screwed it up? *sigh*

This is why manufacturers have to modify their return policies to something rediculous.
[Thunderbolt General] chrootz:
Good luck. :)

WiFi Tether Very Stable And Way Faster Use These Settings.

1st. Download Wifi Tether

2. Go into setting check HTC device

3. Check MSS Clamping

4. Hide SSID you will get slowed down if people try to connect to you. Write SSID Down.

5. Access Control Disabled

it's ##778#, dont forget the extra # at the end.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Can someone report back if this gets them caught by Verizon?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Since it's their app, I would assume it's within the realm of possibility. This is the sole reason I don't use it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] truelefty:
how does verizon charge you ? through how much data it uses ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
explanation

You will not get caught I have used this hack since the phone came out this changes the log in details to bypass Verizon login you will not be charged for nothing you have a unlimited data package for all Droid devices this hack tricks the phone to make it look like its coming through the phone data plan not hotspot app.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
This is rather exciting to me. The only reason besides bloat removal I wanted root is to support tethering for free.

Thank you!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The assumption of "will not get caught" based on "have not gotten caught" is pretty flawed. It's very possible that you have, in fact, been caught, and Verizon is investigating how to handle the masses of people abusing this service.

If you want to take the chance, so be it. I choose not to ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Agreed, but ill still set it up for emergency situations
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
The assumption of not bein caught is true why do you think you change security to it bypassed Verizon log in Verizon cannot tell it shows as your using dara from internet part of phone .I have been rooting and hacking different phones for over 5 yrs. I'm positive I know what I'm doin I have hacked Sprint WiFi to check out sdx forum I have a lot of credibility all my names are REDSCARFACE .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
You are removing the "sip." from part of the identification. You are exploiting a security flaw in Verizon's authentication (a very stupid one, in fact). You are still publishing information from your phone to authenticate to use the feature that will identify you. Additionally, as I said, this is Verizon's app... it, too, can publish information about your device and what you do with it. Verizon loves analytics, you don't think they're taking info about your usage?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Let's not fight guys. I love healthy debates but the Eris forum was always held to a higher standard...let's not be like other forums and flame all the time...both of you have great arguments and I'm sure of Verizon does see this..they might not even care cause so few ppl do it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
Of coarse they check your usage but they cannot pin point were its coming from the hotspot app shows up as your using data from the phone not from hot spot if.it showed hotspot you would he charged and I havent seen it on my bill. Also I know in fact it will never show but I guess everyone's entitled to there opinion so I'm done talking about it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Having a bit of insight into Verizon's inner workings, I would rather not take the risk. I will wait for unlock, perm root, cyanogenmod, and the wifi tether app that Verizon doesn't have control over and can't track.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I did actually read something about the WiFi tether app getting stopped..ill hunt for the link
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Verizon blocks it in the market (verified), but can't stop it from being installed and used. I had it installed on my I2 but I haven't been able to get it working with the temp root (of course a lot of things break with the temp root).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yea I like the app..but to my knowledge it can't do infrastructure mode.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
WiFi tether in the same category as wireless tether does support infrastructure WiFi tether does.infrastructure all you have to do is get root Bs kernel that support .and configure the.app device profile settings to epic and it will pull up hotspot and use that. Mode as infrastructure that's why this hack is better you don't have to root is you already get free hotspot with this hack. Same thing as using any tether just a bit faster
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gmmurphy:
i have been using this hack since my lg dare days wired tether. Been using at least 5 years.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] InkedRoughNeck:
Quick question maybe a dumb one, I performed these steps listed in OP. Are you using the verizon hotspot app from that point? Do you just ignore the message from verizon and continue to use the app? When I got to that point I just stopped as I don't want additional charges. (Vzw is expensive enough) just curious I may not even use this as perm root will b available soon enough we hope and at that point ill be looking for the wifi teather app that is now no longer availavailablefrom the market. Just wondering for the sake of not being able to locate it via 4shared yet.
[Epic 4G General] smryan:
So I've flashed the EE03 modem with Odin and Gingered 0.07 ROM, and cleared the A-GPS status with GPS status application and I still can't get a lock on a satellite.

Is there any other tricks to get this to work?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Try it with the EC05 modem.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
Try gettin GPS lock on EC05 first than odin EE03 modem and it will work
[Epic 4G General] flight3:
This is the correct way to fix your GPS. You have to get a lock before using odin.
[Epic 4G General] Grommish:
Wait.. So I need to ODIN to EC03, A-GPS and Lock and then ODIN Back to EE03? *boggle*

I use GPS Status on SFR1.1.1/Twilight and every time I need to use GPS I need to go into GPS Status, A-GPS Download, wait a few minutes for GPS Status to get a lock and then go do whatever I need to do. There HAS to be a better way..

[GT540 Optimus General] zorancd:
:eek: Has anyone had any experience in terms of changes that mask and you have somewhere to look inside LG phone scheme. I am mostly interested in whether these three special keys or buttons can be changed, since I was a sunken button if I may say so. If anyone can help, let okac some link where I can look at that.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
As in mask, you mean the keys of the keypad or the housing? Both of these are not user replaceable as far as I'm aware. But, of course, someone who is a phone technician or basically anyone who can disaasemble and reassemble the phone would be able to do it. The best option is to take it to LG customer care.
[GT540 Optimus General] JotaJgreen:
If i understand what i believe... i want to do this too!, i want to put other actions in my lateral buttons of my GT540... but i dont know how can i do it...

Anyone can help us?
[GT540 Optimus General] anticitizen101:
Usually through home launchers, or sometimes apps offer to take over that button. I don't know of any other ways.
[GT540 Optimus General] ZxWelshyxz:
Ok this is probably right or way off. :)

so after trying to understand what you've wrote.

you want to replace buttons ??? because they have sunk into the mask/housing

this would help you dismantle the phone replacing the buttons from there is straight forward :P

[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
What is the proper way to wipe the Dalvik Cache on the SamChg?

I removed a system app, and I read that I should wipe the DC to truly clean out the system app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Couple of ways to do it.

Easiest is use CWR and select the option to wipe dalvik under advanced.

You can manually delete the contents of the /data/dalvik-cache folder via the rm command (google for proper syntax) from the terminal, adb, or with something like root explorer (make sure to mount r/w).

A reboot will rebuild the cache, which will cause your reboot to take considerably longer than normal.
[Nexus S General] temp91:
I am from India. The price here in retail stores is around 28,000 rupees..or sometimes even 30,000. This is the same I9023 which fits a S-LCD display.

But the price on flipkart.com is 19,999 rupees only. Why is it so? if it need to be less by a thousand or so i would not have been amazed.

I would like to know if these are 100% brand new or refurbished phones..

plz help me out i want to buy nexus s but am confused...

Ex customers of flipkart what do u say??...

Thanks in advance..:)
[Nexus S General] gforce23:
The price of the NS has fallen by quite a bit in the past couple of days. And it's not just Flipkart, a lot of 'reputed' online web sites have the same price, in some instances, a little less too.
[Nexus S General] farhan-anwar:
Go right ahead !!

The drop in price was mainly due to the release of Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation for around 30K. Also,the price of Nexus S was around 25k less than a week ago.

I'd rather suggest letsbuy, they have listed the same at 19k, and you can get your hands on a brand new nexus s for ~17k (after applying discount coupons).
[Nexus S General] temp91:
Coupons?? we can just apply one coupon code right??

i found the one with 1000 disc... couldnt find better...u hav any better options??
[Nexus S General] athani:
I got mine on flipkart for 19999. Good service.
[Nexus S General] Connection S:
Only go for cash on delivery on letsbuy.

Donot

pay them in advance. Their customer care is non-existant, they do-not answer calls. Best way around this is COD.

On another note the price drop is surprising, I'd say the primary reason being lack of sales in India. Its a dev phone, most people go for the flashier looking Samsungs and HTCs.

Nexus S never had a chance here, NFC is pointless, there's barely 2% population using credit cards.
[Nexus S General] siffar:
I'd bought mine for 27K a month ago. I never bought from flipkart.com but many people say they sell exactly as they on the website. I can vouch for Letsbuy.com, as I've bought two or three things from them.
[Nexus S General] evil.moron:
Bought from Letsbuy.com. Ordered on 21st night, reached on 24th. Tracked the shipment through the 3 days on aramex.com... Cost me 18.8k.. How did u manage ~17k!!?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
This morning I had a quick look at the online Office Suite that Microsoft offers through their Windows Live account. It's associated with their SkyDrive (just some cloud space I assume).

From what I saw in the few minutes of looking at it, it appears to be amazing. You will find parts of the ribbon from the 2010 office suites, multi-user editing capabilities etc. You can create and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote documents. I will definitely take a closer look as this might well be a big competitor to Google Docs!

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I've read a bit about this shooting game, it looks promising, it is Xperia Play Optimized and I didn't dislike Star Battalion, though I muted the sound as I didn't want to hear "Barrel roll! Do a barrel roll!" ever again... However, it's got a quite hefty price tag, so I would like to know opinions about it before forking out the 8 euro it costs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] trothmaster:
I love this game. Its more like privateer and other space trading type games. The actual space fighting is pretty fun too once you get used to it. The problem is there is no slow down or speed up. There is a thruster boost you can trade for but as far as pulling fancy moves, its not really possible. But definitely a really enjoyable game! Way better than gameloft games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] chonkey:
+1

Shame about the lack of speed control. Haven't even bothered buying a thruster yet though. Should have been the first game I bought instead of the gameloft tat..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Red_Kop:
I find this game incredibly laggy when there are a few ships on the screen.

The main actors voice is hilarious, though kudos to having proper voices rather than just text.

The game is ok, it's not as good as something equally as simple as Space Rangers on the PC.

Can get a bit repetitive and tedious going from system to system, but I do enjoy these types of games, it's just the basic dynamics of the warp mechanic that annoy me.

Is it worth the cash? Just.

Is it way to expensive when compared to other Android games...yes!

I heard that was released some IMEI generator with which you can unlock your phone on any network. As it has for Nokia phones.

Does anyone have experience with those related to LG GT540?

If there would be useful to put on the net.
[GT540 Optimus General] ChriisM:
Dont know if this is true , but somewhere i heard that not many android phones are actually locked to a network, they just have branding on them , and may have system apps.

But i havnt tried it out as everyone in my area is on the same network.
[GT540 Optimus General] zorancd:
Well, I know it's a little phone is locked, but all of them will be more. Actually here is the word that if anyone knows and help those who have locked phones to network operators that have purchased the machine do the opposite. More specifically, to unlock and simply use any sim card.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Most Android phones are locked only at the software level. This is true for GT540 as well I guess. It's not usually locked but when it's locked, it's just software lock. Not an IMEI lock. You just have to root it and unlock the phone. Or, flash an unlocked KDZ.

IMEI locks are not used on phones generally. They are used only one stolen phones.

On the other hand, in some networks where SIM cards are not used, the phone is authenticated into network using IMEI/IMSI/MIN/ESN. When this is done, you don't need an IMEI generator, you will need the IMEI/IMSI/MIN/ESN of the phone/SIM tied to your account.
