[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Per the word of the warranty, your accurate:

Samsung Infuse Warranty

However, with that said, they really build a brick wall around themselves, many of which wouldn't hold a lot of water.

VOID Upgrading the software via AT&T

VOID Using an AT&T Car Charger

VOID Installing any non-Samsung Application

VOID Using a case

VOID Using it in an "abnormal way"

VOID Using any SD card except the 2GB it came with

All of these are reasons for them to void your warranty, at their discretion.... So there's a lot of grey area as to what's not really covered under the warranty, but really isn't user negligence. If a user is reinstalling the original software and the phone becomes non-responsive, I'd say Samsung has a duty to assist. If a user tries to solder a different graphics processor to the board, I'd say Samsung has no duty...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Actually, they DO meet their supposed obligation (per your definition) via their warranty support. You have to come to grips with the fact that you must play by their rules if you want warranty support.

The cold, hard truth is this - Samsung's warranty support is only valid when they are the ones doing the work - not you. This is why they don't provide a way back to stock. The phone is designed to work within specific operating parameters. People flashing random hacks and mods on the Internet is NOT within those specific operating parameters.

I know you want me to be on your side.......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
I'm not disagreeing with you. My main point of this post was really just to convey my personal experience w\ Samsung Customer Service in general. After working through several issues over the years with HTC, I mainly just wanted to convey that HTC is a lot more customer-centric and easy to work with than Samsung, thats all. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Exactly - the phone is designed to function within specific operating parameters. Every company does this.

Grrrrr....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
The funniest part of this is that samsung actually sent their phones out to ROM developers for free. They chose to support 3rd party development without pressure or competitive force. Let me find the article.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
They did? First I've heard of it. Any of the devs on here get phones?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
They did, actually. To me, that just looks like one team (probably technical) is on the tech community's side while another (probably business management) is in cahoots with the business side of things, like, in regards to this very topic - warranty support. Anyway, I think Sammy sent the phones to the CM7 Galaxy S devs. They got SGSII's for free.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Which devs on here got the devices? Seems to me if they'd gotten them they'd be posting about it rather than asking for donations to buy one, right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
As far as I know, no Infuse devs have received the device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
You're making my head spin... why did u say they did in post 21? I'm confused.

Wow, very cool. Between Android being jailbreak friendly, and Winblows Mo 7 supporting the JB community, we should blow iOS off the market by this time next year, hehe
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
And so wrong to blame customer care representative, even that CSR is white, black, Mexican, Indian and live in the US or in the moon, they can only tell you the Samsung warranty policy, they can't decide for the company, only manager can do that. You know when you installed customize ROM you already void the warranty.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
You're missing the point. I could have sent it through a bowl of egg, rolled it in bread crumbs and deep fried it... but that doesn't change that their customer service has serious communication issues. Nevermind, forget I even posted this thread. GTG asked me to post so others are aware of the safety net available as a last resort, but now I regret trying to help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tight686:
Bella don't let them get to you.

I too recently bricked my Samsung Infuse. Fortunately, I took it to the Best Buy I got it from and told the sales rep that it won't boot past the Samsung logo and thankfully he recognized it as a software issue and swapped it out.

I always wonder; what will Samsung do with it? Just hook it up to Odin/whatever and flash what needs to be replaced?

Or will they look at it and see it's got screwed up partitions and then contact Best Buy to contact me? Seems like a big hoop but I wonder.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
Thanks...

Basically Samsung had it in "observation\evaluation" for 3 days, then ordered a replacement main board (basically everything inside the phone from what they tell me), then replaced it, then sent it back to me. The only time you use the retailer is for convenience with 30 days if they'll voluntarily swap it out, or the carrier anytime within a year and they swap with a refurb (or sometimes new). Since I bought mine on CL, and I am not an AT&T customer so i had to go with the slow manufacturer process :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tight686:
Wow. "Evaulation" huh? To think I just imagined some guy at a desktop that only runs Odin on everything that comes across his desk.

At any point and time did they ask if you modded it? If already answered my mistake.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
They never asked they just tried to do a force reset and when it didn't work they said I had to send in for repair. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] im smexyy:
my samsung infuse 4g just did the same thing it sits on the samsung loader for ever and dosnt turn on sucky thing is i just got this phone 2 days ago and i swaped it for my iphone witch had this same exact problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my iphone wouldnt turn on either now my android is doing this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
You're cursed :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
So just to update everyone. My Samsung Infuse (the one I bricked) was delivered back to me today. It's working fine again fresh with new Mainboard.

Ugh, only took 18 days start to finish. Jeez. Really glad I'd bought a replacement haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bkeaver:
Just a FYI for all you people that either arent under a warranty or dont have millions of dollars to spend on a new one like Bella ;) Mobile Tech videos has a JTAG service that will resurrect you device from the dead... even if hard bricked to the point that it will not power at all. I sent mine in for 40 bucks and with in a few days I had my infuse back up and running in my hands.....

just thought id pass that option along to those of you that didnt know about this awesome service...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Master Melab:
What mechanism prevents this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] duffy1807:
The only phone i know that can reveal an unlock code while rooted in the new samsung galaxy s2,... Personally i dont know why its such a hard crack for developers...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrisrotolo:
root helps...

it is only the network unlock code, that we need to find hidden deep(usually encrypted or in byte code). Root helps to access these files.

its obviously carrier related, this is why they sell you the phone cheap, because we're tied to their network.

most carriers, and phone manufacturers will give it to you after a few months. Or tell them youre going overseas.

root doesnt really matter to the network.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DeletedUser99284:
It's complex. The device's radio (the actual "phone" part) isn't easily manipulated in a way that can give you a SIM unlock. It usually needs either hardware or a code. Software-only methods are very rare, so far I only heard of some ZTE devices, the abovementioned Samsung device, Desire and Desire Z.

Galaxy S2 only could be unlocked this way because the unlock codes leaked into the phone during manufacture.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Master Melab:
Is there any more input?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DeletedUser99284:
Essentially, you cannot access the radio memory because of the way it is designed to interface (on hardware level) to the rest of the phone. Very rarely do manufacturers make mistakes that do allow to alter it somehow. This design is done on purpose, to let the network operators lock the phone in as well as to prevent your Joe Average from downloading a tool online to unlock it without paying.

I don't really know more than that. If you want more info, most likely you will need to use Google.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Master Melab:
I have tried Google but I can't get a straight answer.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Just a question about how Android handles Internal and SD card storage on the G2x. I've never had to think about Internal vs External before, and I'm not overly familiar with Android... so I thought I'd ask.

G2x

Internal is a 8g SD

External I have an 8g SD card.

I noticed in settings the options for Phone Memory. I assume this is the internal 8g storage. I see settings for total space, available space, unmount phone memory and format phone memory. then a setting for internal phone memory.

I assume the Phone memory is a 8g card that is partitioned or something,

The SD card settings has the similar settings.

I assume if I unmount, the format option becomes available. Being and external card with nothing running from it, formatting this card is no big deal.

What about the Phone Memory. If I unmount and format...what does that do the device? I assume that apps are installed to the storage portion of this internal memory. Data is stored there ...again I assume. If this is formatted, will the device still work?

Basically I want to put the device back into the condition it was in when I turned it on the first time.

Is there a way, non Root, to insure most data storage is to the External card? Already figured out how to get picture storage to external...how about other apps?

TIA
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
well i know alot of the apps let u pick sdcard or phone storage some dont tho, u have to go into settings , then applications then, manage applications. whatever app u want moved click on it then choose move to sdcard....if it has that option, like i said sometimes some apps wont let u so that option u wont be able to choose...also dont u se that space for custom roms? or do u have internal recov flashed? which i dont see why since u have an sdcard an 8gig at that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
There are also some apps that let you choose where they download stuff to, internal or external. I know the LG camera app lets you choose internal or external storage for where it saves photos. As far as I know it depends on the app tho.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bandjosh:
Has anyone tried an sdxc card on there inspire? the inspires specs say 32 gigs max (which is the max for sdhc cards and at the time phone was made were the biggest ones out there.) but sdxc cards are supposedly backwards compatible with hc hosts. So i was wondering if the 64gb+ sdxc cards will work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] OMGMatrix:
I believe it only supports standard SDHC, ie, 32gb max.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bandjosh:
From what I've read sdxc cards are supposed to be backwards compatable with sdhc slots which is what made me think of this the hardware supports it so at the most if needed is a software patch.

[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/t-mobile-new-markets-faster-speeds

So Tmo just launched the 42Mbps service in my area (Myrtle Beach) what speeds should I be seeing? From what I understand the Sensation should be capped around 14.4Mbps but I get no where close to that, 5Mb tops.(4bars 4g service) Can anyone shed some light on how this is supposed to work?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
What's funny is I live in a city that got that too (and that has great 4g coverage), but I can't get my phone to show 4g. Just keeps saying 2g. I'm chatting with tmobile right now.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
14.4 is theoretical speeds, you will never see that. The max I ever got on my MT4G (same radio speeds as sensation) while testing 42mbps cell sites (I'm a TMO field technician) was 8-9mbps. That is in perfect optimal conditions on a site with no traffic and in the optimal location to the tower. These phones will never bennifit from 42mbps upgrade and even if it could you would only see that while doing speed tests or downloading large files.

Phones will be coming out later in the year with 42mbps capability.

Worth noting, I kind of know how to use Odin, so if Odin is the route, if someone can point me in the right direction of a PIT and TAR file, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
How do you back up the modem? I'm currently running the kf1 gb release, and I was wondering if there is a way to back up the modem. Voice quality is important to me, and the stock modem works great for my I897, unlike the I9000 based modems. I'm concerned that when the incredible devs start pumping out custom roms for this release they will use a different modem in order to enable HSUPA. Voice quality is more important for me than the mimimal difference I evperience between 3g and H. Any options?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
there isnt a way to back up the modem. you can snag any modem.bin file out of any rom zip and use the regular ODIN. the phone section will accept modem.bin file, or you can use Heimdall ..... either way there is no backup, you just flash a new modem...or you can do it from CWM using a modem from the MODEM THREAD

I am tired of it turning off hahaha xD

EDIT: If anyone knows anything about the dell streak 7's hardware or were whats located etc... please join in and comment on anything you could think would be relevant for me I will need someone that can compile the code I probably can de-compile/decrypt if you know anything about this please tell me I only know what i've looked up and what I can assume

I know arm assembly so I can help fix this.

I had some problems with porting the extended Power Menu from KF1 to KF4. I'll have to wait until someone experienced with smali will port it over. Until then you just don't get the extended Power Menu with VillainROM 1.3.
