Didn't someone here fry a phone with OC? Nobnut I think.. Anyway I don't see the point, considering how fast the phone is already ..
[Desire General] Ehaic:
I'm kind of new to the whole rooting and custom rom scene but here goes, I've searched all over these forums and the Cyanogenmod forums which is the current ROM I'm running but I can't seem to find a fix for this issue. I'm currently using an HTC desire from bluegrass cellular and whenever I start to use the CM7 rom I can't send or recieve MMS messages. I'll supply anymore information that is needed.
[Desire General] scubab:
I was having this issue for a long time and wiping/reloading seems to only temporarily fix the issue. I finally found this the other day on CyanogenMod Forums

-Download Root Explorer (remember you have a 15 minute refund period on the Market)

-Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

-Press and hold on the telephony.db and delete it

-Reboot the phone and voila!

I tried downloading an old message and it wouldn't download so I had a friend send me an MMS and *boom* I was able download his image as well as the old ones that I was never able to get.

Hope this helps!

Does google talk video chat work on the Evo 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] Junon:
It does not, and probably won't until we at least get root access.
[HTC EVO 3D] navymoss35:
It only works on 2.3.4 our 3D's only have 2.3.3
[HTC EVO 3D] dizbstretch:
I wish Video Chat works for Google Talk for the EVO 3D - missing it already from my EVO 4G. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryan00:
Yea same here i miss the google video chat. Its the only video chat that i found to work good, without lag
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
install Vtok from app market

let's you chat using google talk video.

no sextra sign ups

work great
[HTC EVO 3D] Raspster:
VTok has LOTS of issues. It's a BATT hog as it will not allow your device to sleep! They need to fix it with an update or something.

Does Google+ for android have video chat? If not, I don't see how it's related to this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
It's not..... People are just trying to pimp G+... was happening all night last night in the IRC.

Unless I missed where GTalk is tied to G+.

[HTC EVO 3D] the.joeba:
While Google+ does indeed have video chat, it is not integrated into the Google+ Android app.

After using fre3v0 to attempt to overwrite GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Talk.apk, my progress was halted due to the fact that these are read only and could not be chmod 777'd as they are system files
[Epic 4G General] redspeed:
It worrys me when I try to install a new app, only to see a long list of permissions its requesting. Why would a simple game require it access my call logs, phone number etc...

Is there anything built into custom roms that prevents this private data being sent out? Can these apps really pull your info such as your whole contact list and call history?

I just installed an app called LBE privacy guard, and even Launcher Pro is trying to access my call logs and sms messages. Ive set most all apps to restricted on it and my security log is full of downloaded apps trying to access my info.
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
CM7 allows for the ability to restrict permissions for specific applications(not finished yet), but that's the only one.

FWIW, Launcher Pro requests those permissions to do little "pop ups" on the dock for missed calls and text messages.
[Epic 4G General] redspeed:
That makes me feel a little bit better at least. Thought Launcher Pro was betraying me by stealing my info

When an app requests permissions like read contact data- does it actually have the ability to go through my private contact list and send back the names and phone numbers to their server?
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I've always thought it funny that people who worry about data security will install a ROM built by a semi-anonymous chef. At least when you deal with Samsung and Sprint you know who has to answer for any problems. With a cooked ROM, who knows what could be in there?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
I don't know what they would want to do with anyone's contacts but like posted above most apps use notification features even though some don't use the feature that often it is still available I trust that Google's os has certain inalienable features to keep app in check and make sure data is safe..... I haven't heard of anyone being killed or follwed because location data was sent to a corporation .... now calleriq is something to be requined with...

I believe moderators examine Roms for that sort of thing. Also, if it was found out that someone was doing that, there would be some major problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
The EVO-3D uses gorilla glass ? Is there even a need for a screen protector ?

I have the Sprint store version on my new 3VO and not sure I like it ? Do I really need it ?

Also bought a funky vmcase that Sprint sells. Is a rubbery honeycomb pattern, actually sort of cool looking. But holding out for MyIncipio brand of thier "Feather" case, very thin but still good protection, and great feel. Have it on my EVO-4G, easily my fav case. Hopefully they coming soon for the 3D

Sent from my EVO-3D waiting for Myn's ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
Maybe

I think it depends on how you carry your phone. I've had 4 HTC now and never had any problems without screen protectors. However I always use a belt holster. If I would carry it in my pocket I might have to get one but really don't like the way they feel.

You will probably get mixed recommendations. I bought the Siedio type case and holster combo from Best Buy and now am good to go with no worries.

Good luck

[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
I sent my Transformer RMA for repairs, I received it back after 23 days!, with a 3 inch scratch on the plastic back. There is a gouge in the metal bezel, that I can see and feel, extending from there is a long scratch. This is the most frustrating "toy" I've ever purchased. Dust under the screen, an unsealed screen (gap between the glass and rubber strip), a charger that would not charge the unit (not to mention the cable is so short) and now they damage it.

I was told to take pictures of the damage and send them to ASUS customer care. I don't want to send it for repair again, especially not at my expense. On the other hand, if they agree to replace it, what are the odds of actually getting one that works, and was built, correctly. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
This would be funny if it weren't so sad.

I had predicted this and now I'm further convinced they're going to mess up my unit.

Great, just great. I guess with Asus your only choice is to live with the problem. Never ever send it in for repair. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
I was under the impression they weren't even repairing your unit but just giving you a refurb one.

You probably got someone else's toy that happened to be scratched to ****.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Crap happens. The techs are only human.

I had a Canon DSLR whose sensor was scratched while in repair. When I got it back I called them up and explained the problem. Canon immediately had me send it back and fixed it quickly. Hopefully Asus will do the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Where did you get your TF from? Amazon? If, so call them up and asked them if they could help you out with an exchange? Did you use Amex for this purchase? If so see what they said. I would go back to ASSus if the first two dont work out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
You hope too much. That's Canon. This is Asus. :rolleyes:

No, unacceptable. Spilling a drink is "only human", they should be smart enough to know whether they can fix a ****ing $400.00 device without unnecessarily gouging it on the back.

If they can't do it without ****ing it up they could always issue a replacement like they should be doing. They decided it would be "better" to use a putty knife, tear this thing apart and hopefully put it back together. That's no accident, that's stupidity.

The truth is we purchase a brand new item and it goes back within weeks of purchase for a refurbished POS. We're actually paying a premium to pay for this refurbished POS when you factor in the return shipping they charge you. $400.00 is no longer such a good deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
Unfortunately I got it from Newegg, but I always use American Express. If I can't get Asus to replace it then I will call the credit card company. I do understand things happen, however, when you pay for a new device and get a damaged deviceback from the repair facility there is a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Only bother if the credit card company is willing to issue you a refund of their own. Some credit cards come with policies like this that will even pay for broken televisions.

Don't however, do a chargeback to Newegg. They'll ban you and anyone with your address from shopping with them for life (or until you pay how much was taken due to the chargeback).

I'm sure if you own a house that a "Newegg address ban" will hurt your real estate investment price because well, nobody wants to live in a house that can't receive packages from the egg. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
American Express has a great plan attached to it. Any item, purchased in full, with American Express has a 90 day protection - if you lose, have stolen, or damage the item it will be replaced (or repaired); plus your warranty is extended by 1 year. If the item repair cost is close to the original price they generally just refund the entire, original cost.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
Yea, amex extended warranty kicks arse. I once got 1600 back for a laptop I had owned for over 3 years. they add an extra year onto whatever warranty you buy, i bought the 3 year from dell. I got all of my money back including what i spent on the extended warranty in the first place.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
they also have this protection which you get a max amount of $300.00 if you are not happy with your purchase. I wondering do you have to send you tf to amex in order to get the credit? Also is amex going after the merchant for you 300.00 or its came from amex? I don't think its worth it if either amazon or neweggs ban ya ass for life....:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
Really?? A business bans someone for taking advantage of their legal rights? I've never bought anything from a place that requires the surrendering of my consumer rights and if Newegg does this I truly doubt I ever shall even consider them! Not to mention if this is the case, share that nugget of information with everyone I know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
It is your legal right to take back the money paid to them through your credit card company. It is THEIR legal right to ban you for practically stealing from them.

It goes both ways.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pisugtooq:
In the market for a new credit card - is this true of any American Express card? Our just one of their particular cards?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] skeeterpro:
I don't condone perpetuating fraud for returning frivolously perfectly good items, really. But to retaliate on an unwitting consumer who got a DOA item (condition unbeknownst to the business, of course) who only wishes to enjoy a working purchase it is, at the least, reprehensible IMO. At the very least, highly discouraging to potential repeat business.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Any card would do. I got the blue verison which I believe is the lowest card and they offer me the same ext warranty.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Hmmmm.

I sent my TF 32gb to the repair center in California after having it for two days because the left speaker was barely working. About three weeks later I got it back. Everything works great. Plus, no damage. The replies on here got me wondering if I got 'my' unit back. There was a new warranty card in with tablet along with the other papers. So I compared warranty cards. I didn't get mine back. I hope what I did get back was a new one. Guess I will never really know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Damn, wish mine went to California instead of Texas. You could check your S/N # on the new tablet against the rma # on their site. How did you end up sending it to the repair center in Cali?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
I called the Asus phone number on the warranty card and got an RMA number with the Fremont, CA address. That's it. I think it may be one of their corporate centers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I don't think it really matters where you call. They route you based on which facility is closer to you or maybe which one leads to an optimal schedule based on load balancing. They're not going to send 800 repairs to Cali and leave the Texas facility empty, nor are they going to ask someone in NY to send to Cali at $25.00 shipping when Texas is closer.

I have a question for you bluecnc. You said you got a new warranty card. What did you send in? Did you send in everything including the box, warranty cards and pamphlets? What exactly did you get back in return?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
Canon is not always that good, they scratched the heck out of my mom's brand new G9 a couple years ago, and she really had to argue with them to get them to own up to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
They have cali facility? Why did they have me send mine to tx?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
California facility is the best ASUS repair facility in US (known for their quality service with laptop repairs). At least they're closing on the Indiana one (known for creating more issues than the ones they fix). Dunno about Texas though. But they should own up to it if you give them pics.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
When I called for my RMA the service rep asked where I had purchased the Transformer and what my problem was. He took down my email address and sent a form that gave me directions on how to go about sending my unit in for repair. I also followed the instructions in the warranty card. Paragraph 4 states "Please do not send in anything but the Eee Pad itself unless specially requested by Asus. Any other items and accessories included in the package sent back to service site will be treated as packaging material, and may not be returned". So all they got was my tablet in the original box(with the required paper work). What I got back was a TF with a higher serial number and a new warranty card. Whether it is new or a refurb I don't know. By the way. The box was already opened. The box, warranty card and unit all match. So, eh. I'm happy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I sent my TF with the dock because it came as a package and the pad would have flopped around in the box. I hope they don't send mine back without the dock!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
Packaging peanuts would have been another option...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
So bluecnc, just to confirm:

1. You gave them your original box and the plastic inside along with all of the stuff it came with?

2. Did they ever tell you they were repairing it or replacing it? If you ever checked the Asus website for your status did it say it was being repaired?

I'm just wondering if their idea of "repairing" means giving you a replacement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluecnc:
Ok. Just for clarification.

1. I gave them the tablet in the plastic cover, in the original box. That is it. I kept everything else.

2. I never checked to see what they were doing with it. I have better things to do. I figured it would either be fixed or I would never get it back. So I was happy when I finally got it back and it worked. Even though I know now, it is not the one I sent off. I don't want to speculate what they did.

Hope that clears things up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
I said this earlier in the thread but I'll say it again.

Most electronics companies these days have a refurb-repair cycle. They receive your item, make sure it's not physically damaged, then send you a refurb unit. Rarely do you get your own device back. They will eventually fix your unit, and someone else gets it when they have a problem.

Doing this this way allows them to really speed up the turnaround time for repair and warranty claims. On the whole, it's a win-win because you get your **** back faster and they can still be pretty economical in repairing units.

From what I'm reading on this thread it seems that it's actually quite possible that they are repairing units as they come in and sending them back - but I should just reiterate that this is the exception to the rule.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
I sent my dock out two weeks ago and they just sent me an email saying I dropped it and that I have to pay them. If they don't budge on this I'm going to return my brand new computer if this is how customers get treated.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
This kind of stuff is why I always pay for insurance when shipping electronics. One quick phone call to UPS and I just get money for a brand new device.

But of course this doesn't help in hindsight. Good luck!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] virarfast:
Hi folks - this is the first thread I have started, hence requesting the non-noobs to go easy on me... (this forum is a scary-kind-of-cool)

I mustered up the courage to install Infused 1.5.0 on my stock... the instructions were superb and everything went great... really enjoying the improved speed and looks. But my battery life has degraded. It has been more than a week since I flashed my phone - and it is only getting worse. Now I have read a lot about how Infused is getting great battery life for some folks... and i have gone through those threads, trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. This is my typical usage profile

1) I put the phone on charging before I go to sleep... when I wake up (around 7 AM) it is fully charged.

2) I quickly check overnight messages, finish the daily ablutions, and 30 min later when I check the phone it is already at 95%.

3) By 10 AM, I have made a few long phone calls (no bluetooth) (totalling 60-90 minutes) - and the battery is down to 75%

4) At work I use a bluetooth A2DP headset - maybe 30-40 min of calls and by 12 I am at 50%.

5) More calls in the afternoon, intermitted mail checking and sometimes 30-40 minutes of music streaming on my bluetooth headset - and by 6 PM my phone is down to critical level 12-15%.

This is in now way the same experience that others are having with the Infused ROM and with the Infuse phone in general.

Other points:

6) I run Juice Defender... (don't know if it helps)

7) My screen brightness is just a few notches over 0%

8) My data is always on - except when I am using Wifi of course

9) I turn bluetooth off when I am not using it

So that's the story guys... and I would eternally grateful if the awesome folks out here can help me figure out what I am doing wrong... or there is some logic behind the sad battery life of what is otherwise the best phone that I have ever owned. :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popesmasseuse:
It depends how long Infused has been running on your system. After about 3 days I noticed my phone was adjusting to the ROM and the battery life improved significantly. Aside from that, try this trick. Drain your battery next to nothing and then charge all the way. Do this a couple of times. Not quite sure about the logistics but it seems to work. Another thing that has improved my battery life is to make sure I don't have background apps running. You can check this by going into apps > manage apps > and then running. Sometimes Media Hub will begin a background process and that eats up a whopping 8 MBs alone. Force close these pointless background apps and you should see an improvement there as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hydrogenman:
have you conditioned the battery and reset battery stats?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] virarfast:
Thanks popesmasseuse (you really aren't are you?)... the ROM has been running now for a week... gets worse rather than better. I do typically wait for my battery to drain completely before I charge it... but when I do have to do it at 7 PM - then I can never charge it fully, before I have to start using it again. I wonder if the fact that my phone goes through "micro charges" is a reason for my declining battery life...

Will check the running apps... and see if closing them improves things... thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Fact: Installing a ROM greatly improves battery life... Try it....

Turn of GPS and Bluetooth when not in use.

Same here I uninstalled media hub... period... just useless...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Phone calls are a pretty heavy battery drain. Sounds like you're in call for hours each day. Most people don't talk on the phone more than a few minutes a day. Poor signal will also significantly reduce your battery life... how many bars you usually have at work?
