[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Well it's the current worse case scenario rumour, so it's what we should all be expecting. Hoping for better is asking for heartbreak. This is precisely why I always try to buy gadgets based on what they are capable of in the here and now, rather than buying based on promises. It's also why companies should never make promises to their users that they might not be able to keep.

I think I speak for most of us here in wishing HTC would come out and say something in a bit of an official fashion, not press release official but at least a blog post on their site from someone in dev relations. Posting it on Facebook is slightly official, but who knows who is behind their Facebook, it could very well be a third party PR firm for all we know. Best case scenario is that their Facebook page is handled by someone on their internal PR team. Palm was always good about this, and even when they make promises (webOS 2.0 on all devices) that they later can't keep, they do it in a friendly way and with that maintain by far the most passionate user base I've ever seen in the mobile space.

It sounds like HTC is trying to get better at this, which is good. I'm hopeful, but I'm still counting down the days of my return period, with calendar reminder alarms and everything.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hahahahahaha.... Perfect.....

Doesn't make sense one bit.

HTC's head honcho says bootloaders will no longer be locked.....there's no way their gonna void the warranty on all the phones of the people that they "listened to".... The very same people they are trying to win over.

No chance....HTC wouldn't allow their manufactures warranty to be null and void.
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
so.. isnt all new phones that will be coming out now from htc have s-off? lol so ALL OF them comes without warrenty?
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
I'll go ahead and call BS ( not to the OP, I'm sure that the rep said this to you )

If you take a peek at the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 it states that warranties information must be available pre-sale and are not modifiable.

Allow me to post two excerpts from this very basic page about the MMWA of 75,

http://www.mlmlaw.com/library/guides/ftc/warranties/undermag.htm

The written part,

To understand the Act, it is useful to be aware of Congress' intentions in passing it. First, Congress wanted to ensure that consumers could get complete information about warranty terms and conditions. By providing consumers with a way of learning what warranty coverage is offered on a product before they buy, the Act gives consumers a way to know what to expect if something goes wrong, and thus helps to increase customer satisfaction.

The modify part,

Disclaimer or Modification of Implied Warranties

The Act prohibits anyone who offers a written warranty from disclaiming or modifying implied warranties. This means that no matter how broad or narrow your written warranty is, your customers always will receive the basic protection of the implied warranty of merchantability.

There is also a part about net requiring a written warranty, but since HTC did the point is moot.

What the rep told you would never fly in court and I'm sure the lawyers that HTC employ have told them the same.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Dont think HTC wont void your warranty for unlocking. Here is the disclaimer on the Nexus One.
[HTC Sensation] mykoe817:
lol

ahaha
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
But why would they if they are unlocking bootloaders from the factory now? Doesn't make sense.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
I found this

Here is what HTC had to say:

We are currently developing new bootloader unlocked software for your phone. HTC is still committed to allowing our customers to unlock the bootloaders if they wish, however we are still implementing the policy and many updates were already finalized prior to our change in policy. We apologize for the inconvenience, but be assured that we are working on a solution for our customers and our commitment has not changed. Please stay tuned to our official channels for ongoing updates on how we will be implementing this policy. Thank you for your patience.

.

Translation, HTC is working on an update but they have no idea when it’s going to arrive. This of course means that the HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile is going to be coming with a locked bootloader when it arrives later on this month.

This statement comes after the company confirmed that the HTC EVO 3D would also get an unlocked bootloader, a change that came after the company switched up its policy and decided that all upcoming devices would come with their bootloaders unlocked.

[HTC Sensation] KhanSW:
If they do that then I definitely will not buy another HTC product in the future and will take my dollars elsewhere for future sales. They never stated that they would void your warranty if you used their Official Bootloader Unlock when it became available as I'm sure most people would have never bought one and either just waited for the unlocked versions to ship or else they would have bought another phone, I know for one I would have done one of those two options.

As silly as it sounds Samsungs embracing of the development community makes them look much better in my eyes at this time, but then again HTC as not officially said this yet either so I have to just wait and see. If they do this then I definitely will be selling this phone on craigslist and purchasing a sgsII when it comes to the states.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Because it doesnt matter where it is unlocked.The simple fact that it is unlocked doesn't cause any problems. The problems, as stated in the disclaimer, can be caused by unsupported untested operating systems.
[HTC Sensation] mahesh_9j:
yeah very right....unlocking is not going to void the warranty...however if u brick ur device with some unsupported os or wrong os..then may be it'll void the warranty. Right now the important thing is when we'll be getting the unlocked bootloader....my sensation just a ph. to receive n make calls..i wanna use its full potential.....HTC pls pls release the soft. soon....
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
I guess I'll be the first to say, even after unlocking the bootloader on my Nexus One, HTC still was happy to repair it, 3 times for that matter.

The first, I had dust under the screen, I set it back to stock and sent it in, they sent it backed with the bootloader re-locked.

I unlocked it again, then had a power button issue, sent it in running Cyanogen and it came back still unlocked and running Cyanogen just how I left it.

This recent time, I just got it back last week actually, power button issues, sent it in running Cyanogen, it came back running stock, but the bootloader was still unlocked.

Every time it's been a little different, but none the less, they have still repaired my device under warranty. (Except the last time, I'm out of warranty so I paid $59 to get it fixed, but now have a 90 day warranty, even though they know the bootloader is unlocked..)
[HTC Sensation] Shaunsational:
I don't think they will release unlocked bootloaders with no warranty, it will probably come just like our Nexus One's where you have the option to unlock it (shown in that other guys picture). This lets them ship locked devices, and have you make the choice whether or not you want to give up the warranty.

I honestly just want root, I don't want a custom rom on my sensation. I want my apps like titanium and tether back. And the IME with extra options on my nexus, I'm hoping I can just copy the apk but not sure because of the resolutions.

@Wisefire.. thats awesome that they fixed it I've been terrified of messing something up on mine ever since I unlocked it, do you think them fixing it could have been due to it being hardware malfunctions? Say if you sent in a phone that was bricked do you think they would have still proceeded to fix it? or just say sorry you took the chance when you unlocked it?
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
I agree. The warranty voiding is just something they do to cover themselves in the event someone with a bricked phone tries to get a warranty replacement. I too am a Nexus One user and I've read countless accounts of people getting their phones repaired after unlocking the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] alegbes:
Some people ll definitely beat them to it and get the bootloader unlocked before one month, then you dont have to worry about your warranty(S-off, s-on..get it? good) lolz
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
That Rep that told you that is seriously smoking some good kush. He better pass that **** to the left hand side after he's done.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Reps are glorified salesmen. Nothing more

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I wouldn't even say they have any glory associated with their position. I view reps as less than salesmen.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Good to hear....that pretty much says it all. They WILL still fix HARDWARE issues under warranty or out of warranty for $$.

Again, there is no way they're gonna give a big F U to the dev/mod community at the same time when they're doing this for the SOLE reason to please that community.

That would be BAD business...
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
By the way, for anyone worried about warranty. You can always go directly to HTC US for repairs/problems without going to Tmo. I declined the junk warranty from TMO. Waste of money.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
OTA or Not...Just bring it on!!
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
This is a little off topic but HTC needs to hurry and do something. I found a thread earlier where a lot of sensations seem to be degrading fast. After a week it is nowhere as fast, touch screen non responsive, lock ring unresponsive, gps issues, etc. I can confirm the issues and how they happen. I thought my sensations was the best thing in the world the first few days i had it. THen slowly it got slower. I did a factory restore a few times which didnt help. You cant even make the carousel effect when swiping home screens, it's that non responsive. I swapped my phone in today and got another one, world of difference. Feels like a new phone again. Saying all of that to say this, WE NEED THE S-OFF so our devs can make some great running tweaked roms! and we need s-off before the sensation is obsolete so we can keep dev interest. If we dont get s-off before the next big phone, we will lose a lot of dev resources to that new phone.... whether it's HTC or TMobile, come to an agreement and unlock this bad boy soon!
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Very good point...
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Yes sir, this it's true a 10000%, same thing here..... :(

[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
You don't need to buy the extended warranty to get it replaced thru t-mobile. You can still get it replaced and will not get an out of warranty fee for just rooting/unlocking the phone.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Why would you pay $99 for a 3rd party warranty? Bottom line is this: normal warranty exchanges are usually done thru t-mobile. Htc has no way at all of canceling your warranty on t-mobile's end of things. If you unlock your bootloader, you can still get it replaced if there is indeed a hardware issue.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Don't think this will have to be done over the phone. More likely an OTA to hboot 1.18 and an easy option to unlock it for those who want.

HTC better get this out soon, should be easy for them to get this out to the people and get very happy and satisfied customers:p
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I agree, we aren't going to have to call htc at all. The rep that said this is a moron.
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Yes, someone can say with HTC: They should respect the opinions of consumers. Because consumers (That's us) are very profitable for them. If HTC does not have a positive move, then most likely they will take the consumer into the hands of Samsung or other device manufacturer .....

Sorry for my bad english:)
[Android Software Development] johnny quest:
I bought this app because it looks great and love it. But are there any updates, upgrades or a thread on this app?
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. SPB mobile shell doesnt get updated often. Maybe once a year.
[Android Software Development] sweetbinodray:
Hey you can find those update details on http://spb.com/android-software/shell/
[Android Software Development] mlarma:
They update more often than that. The last update they did I ran into issues - prob related to all the apps I had loaded too - but others were griping in the reviews about getting the stability issues fixed. So I'm sure we'll see some bugfixes again soon.

If you wipe user data/factory reset inside CWM you won't be able to install apps to the data partition. There is a bug, the partitions on the xoom are different then other devices.

Interesting, I just did the same exact steps on my Xoom last week and all of my apps repopulated just fine.
[HTC Sensation] afgwahid1994:
On ebay, there are a few 1800 and 1900 mAh batteries. Is it safe to use them or are they just going to mess up the device. The 1900 mAh is for 60 however the 1800 mAh is between 6-11 bucks. Is it safe to use them?

Is anyone using one?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
I was wondering if somebody could modify this metamorph for me so it works with my DINC? I'm running Skyraider 4.0 (will be running 4.1 when I get the time to flash it...don't know if there will be much difference between the 2 or not...).

http://www.mediafire.com/?l34p6v7hsq5hhds

I tried using MM as is, but its trying to patch the wrong file I think, so it's not working properly. When I reboot, it just stays my normal signal bars. Wondering if somebody can get it to work?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
First off, do you you know where the files that you need to change are actually located? If not, where is this current MM theme trying to change them. Depending on the rom, signal bars are usually either located in system/app/SystemUI.apk or system/framework/framework-Res.apk

*It's IncREDible*
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Ok, I went ahead and took a look at the theme you wanted. Looks like it was looking to change the files in the framework-res.apk. I changed the theme control file and the name of the file inside the theme. I'll post it here for you to try. Nandroid before you try this. You may get a SystemUI.apk Force Close when you apply this. Either try to get to the reboot menu, or just pull the battery and reboot the phone. Not sure how I can fix force closes, but it seems to happen to all the themes I put together. Dunno why.

Another thing that might need to be changed about this theme, it is only looking to change 5 files. So you may notice that it will show your old signal bars at some moments, and then the new circle signals at others. Let me know if this is the case and I can try to add the files that will need to be changed for all of them. Some ROMs are different so this may take trial and error to get it right for what you are running.

I hope this works for you Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Haven't tried to apply it yet; haven't had the time. Looked in my system/app folder and I don't see that I have even have a SystemUI.apk in there? Using root explorer to try and view it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Ok, I downloaded Skyraider 4.1 and looked around for the signal files you want to change. Are you trying to change the 3g icons or the signal icons? It looks like both the signal icon and the 3g icons are located in the framework-res.apk for this particular ROM. So I went ahead and modified the theme again for that ROM. It should hopefully work.

Please let me know if it works and if I can help further.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Ok, tried applying the icon with MM, and rebooted. Didn't work; still has the normal GB signal icon.

And yeah, I'm not trying to replace the 3G icon; just the signal bars.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Hmm. Ok. I'll see if I can just build a MM theme from scratch. Actually, before I do that check one thing for me. Look on your sdcard for a folder named Android Themes. Then look for the folder of the theme we are trying to apply. See what is in that folder. If it is only the XML file. Then I will tell you what you need to do next. If the framework-Res folder is in there and all the icon files are inside that, then I will go ahead a rebuild the theme from scratch. Let me know when you can.

*It's IncREDible*
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
It has the framework-res folder as well.

It wouldn't be under the htc-resources apk would it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Ok there are signal icons in the com.htc.resources apk. There are quite a few of them though. Can you take a screenshot and post it so I can see which icons are showing in your status bar? We'll get this figured out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Using the stock GB icons that came with SR4.1. Here's the screenshot tho:

Edit: Just something that crossed my mind... I think the SD card I'm using is still in FAT, and not FAT32...that wouldn't make a difference, would it? I know it does for flashing, since it has to flash zips from fat32 format; not sure if that matters for MM or not since it's directly modifying the system.

Thanks for the help btw, really appreciate it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Ok. I fixed the theme last night. I'll upload it later after I get out of school. I figured those were the icons that the ROM was using so that is what I had the theme change.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Thanks again, I appreciate it! I'll check it out probably after I get home from work, unless I do it over my break or something lol.

Hopefully this works. Let me know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Just tried it. Applied it, got a some FC's and phone wigged out till I hit the Home button then my UI reloaded. Signal icons were gone totally. Rebooted my phone, still nothing. Shut down totally and turned back on and still no-go. Not sure which files its supposed to be...

Is there some other reference that needs to be changed to tell it to use those files?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Not sure why its not working. You might have better luck using Ninja Morph to change what you want. I made a step by step guide for using it if you wanna try.

*It's IncREDible*
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
Ok, I downloaded a theme pack for SR4.0, and it is a flashable one that changes both the framework-res.apk and the com.htc.resources.apk

Edit: Checked out another one by ACD168, for 4.1 that does stock icons... and it changes both of them as well.

Edit 2: Ok, I pulled both APK's from my phone, and the images are the modified versions... it must be pulling it from somewhere else then? Or using something else?

Edit 3: ok. Used root explorer to check out the apk's while on my phone, and each one has 2 res folders inside of them... I'm quite confused now... unless I should push them through adb while in recovery so it takes effect?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
OK! I Got it to work!

Turns out the files that it was using were in the com.htc.resources.apk, but we were changing the wrong ones. The right ones are:

cdma_sys_4signal_x.png where the x is 0-4. I'm not sure where the null one is (the "no service" icon... i'll have to do some more digging for that one).

If anybody wants the new MM, I can upload it.

I may do some more changing, such as making it into a 6-bar signal one, and maybe changing the color from blue to green to match my other icons.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
Glad you got it working. Amazing what you can do when you know where to look and what to change.

Haha yeah.. Thanks for the help though man, I appreciate it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comicazy:
No prob. I Googled that theme and found the original thread for it. I think someone made a no signal icon. It might be in green. I know they did the main signal icons in red. That is what I'm using.
