[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Hardware failures should still be covered if the manufacturer unlocks the software. Again if I go to Archos for an example, they still cover hardware failures, even if you've installed their SDE to unlock the device. If you have a USB failure, it's covered, if you have a backlight die on you, it's covered... If you flash a recovery that is corrupted and your device no longer boots, that is definitely not covered.

I'm not sure how HTC would implement this, but I would have to assume that it would be in the same manner. They can't honestly believe that unlocking the software would cause a USB port to come loose, nor would anything software related that someone could put on the phone. Hardware faults would still have to be covered if they unlock the software themselves.

Other root methods on previous phones have caused the warranty to be voided, but that's only because those weren't sanctioned software unlocks. Previous methods (and including the method the TeamWIN is using) use exploits that the company doesn't want you using. Using their own software unlock, there is no reason for the entire warranty to be voided.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
I agree but here is my question . . .

When has anyone ever needed a warranty repair (by HTC) for a strictly software issue (other than one caused by some non-HTC approved software code with root authority causing the phone to brick). A hard reset should almost always fix anything of that nature.

In short, the current concerns are about some NEW kind of warranty voiding provision.

(I don't really share these concerns. That's the point of the thread)
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Correct me if I am wrong though. . . .

If I have a rooted Evo 4G and send it in for a hardware warranty repair (eg loose USB port), they will not cover the hardware because the software has been rooted, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
that was always my understanding.. but i have hardly seen anyone send it to HTC, most repairs come from an authorized sprint store.. and it is hit or miss whether or not they will touch it or not while rooted.. my store i may be lucky there are a couple of rooters in there.. so i think i am good..

i do kind of like the idea of temp root now that teamwin has aquired, i am ok with stock for now.. i just want tether and a couple other things..
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
why would any update by the mancufacturer of the phone void warranty? I kinda dont get the point your trying to make, if an update from manufacturer voids warranty they wouldn't dare push it. If they push it OTA it wont void any warranties.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
If you read the whole thread (or just my initial post), you would understand that I don't believe HTC will void warranties with any update or unlocking software they provide.

I only wanted someone to provide the basis for the opposite opinion that HTC is the devil and wants to screw all of us.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Sprint's warranty is tied into the HTC warranty.

If HTC's warranty is voided, Sprint will not make a warranty exchange or repair.

This is because when Sprint provides a warranty exchange, they turn around and exchange the device with HTC. If HTC won't exchange with Sprint, then Sprint is out the cost of the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
thats the point.. most dont seem to believe that the OTA would (as some people have proclaimed), but that after they unlock the bootloader, its still rooting that voids the warranty..
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
That's going to be determined how HTC/Sprint write the new terms of agreement for downloading and installing the optional software. Nobody knows yet what that will be exactly. Could be a really loose agreement, or it could say flat-out "You use this, your warranty is gone" (in more words of course lol).
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
i have sent rooted phones back to sprints telesales with no issue.. before there were rooted people at my store, i had to make it look like it wasnt rooted before they would even talk to me about it.. but i honestly have had much issue with sprint with rooted phones.. when i call because something isnt working right (like signal issue or something) and they want to troubleshoot my phone for issue, i just tell them straight up that its rooted and unless they are rooted and know about they wont be able to troubleshoot it.. and they have all still helped and been very courtious about it.. but some of them do get a little wary of me until i talk to them enough for them to realize that i actually know what i am talking about..

the latest guy i talked to at the store he said that sprint didnt really care too much anymore that the phones were rooted..
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Man, if Sprint doesn't really care, why the hell have I put days worth of time into unrooting the 17 freaking warranty exchanges I have had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, even though some telesales, tech support and store techs might work with you, they really aren't supposed to under the warranty.

As such, I don't think I would ever take the risk of sending in a rooted phone to Sprint/HTC under their current (written) policy.

That said, thank you for the info.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
totally agree.. and i always tell anyone else who is doing it to unroot, dont want them to get screwed just because i was fortunate.. i chalk most of mine up to luck.. sprint has always been good to me (which is why i am still here)..
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Sprint has always been good to me too. Although, sometimes I had to kick and scream to get that treatment.

My Evo 3D is the first phone I have "paid" for since my original Touch Pro.

I had so many warranty exchanges on the TP1 and TP2 that Sprint "gave" me the TP2 for the TP1 and the Evo 4G for the TP2.

I couldn't justify an advanced exchange from the Evo 4G to the Evo 3D with only ONE warranty exchange. :(

:D

Plus, there is still the fact that the Evo 4G was a hell of a phone and didn't have anywhere near the number of issues the TP1 and TP2 had.
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
archos gave you an option to "unlock" your tablet and install the developer tools. it allowed for rooting, dual booting, etc. once installed you couldn't remove the dev tools.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
There was no way to hard reset or roll back the change? Also, unlocking the Archos voided hardware warranty?

I also want to point out that it seems that, even if Archos did void warranties with an indelible watermark, this was probably a

planned

option.

It was not something that appeared on the horizon less than a month before the device shipped.

That said, you

could

be right that HTC will follow that method. I just don't think it's likely.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
I guess there are no longer any die hards that truely believe the unlock from HTC will void warranties.

Not one person expressed the opinion that this would be the case.

Oh well. . .
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Once the SDE is applied, there is no way to remove the watermark. They openly admit that they have this option, so yes it is a planned option for their devices.

I'm not saying by any means that HTC will follow this method, but it is a method that has been used, so it gives them an option that they know will work.
[HTC EVO 3D] ftc_osiris:
Does the fact that you have the watermark void the warranty entirely?

Either way, since Archos probably planned such a watermarking feature and HTC wouldn't have designed it into the Evo3D, its a bit of a different situation.
[HTC EVO 3D] CyWhitfield:
I don't understand the thought process behind watermarking the phone. I really don't.

The phone has a unique identifier and i imagine is not going to take much effort to maintain a database on their end that tracks the devices that apply whatever warranty voiding boogeyman everyone things they will be putting out there.

Altering the device..... or adding a row to a DB table.... hmmm.........
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
Hello all,

On June 10th, I installed the leaked MR2 update for non-rooted phones. Everything had been working perfectly for 20 days (GPS was great, not a single random restart).

Exactly 20 days later, sometime yesterday afternoon, the 3G connection went off and never came back on. I can still get WIFI and 4G connections. I had Juice Defender on my phone, and uninstalling it did not fix it.

I have tried:

- Rebooting

- Removing battery

- Removing Sim

- Turning mobile network off/on

- Turning airplane mode off/on

- Switching from CDMA Only to LTE/CDMA

- Switching WIFI on/off

- Searching for software updates in settings

The weird thing about it is that if i manually check for software updates under "settings' the 3G will come on, the upload/download arrows light up, then it goes back off.

For reference sake, here is my software info:

- Android Version: 2.2.1

- Baseband Version 1.39.00.0508w, 0.01.69.051w_3

- Kernel Version 2.6.32.21-g0606a3a, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1, Thu Apr 14 11:59:44 CST 2001

- Build Number 1.66.605.2 CL343045 release-keys

- Software Number 1.66.605.2

- Browser Version WebKit/533.1

- PRI Version 1.41_002, 1.64_002

- PRL Version 15011

- ERI Version 5

I appreciate any thoughts or ideas. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] VolDroid:
I never even lost my 4G while running MR2 nonrooted except while on vacation in a non 4g area.
[Thunderbolt General] Uncanny05:
I had this happen on my first TB. I reflashed, cleared data, changed roms, radios, removed SIM cards, did full resets, flashed back to stock, changed radio settings in the engineering menu, you name it, NOTHING worked.

I ended up flashing back to stock and getting a new TB - as far as i could tell it was a hardware failure.

My symptoms were EXACTLY the same as yours.
[Thunderbolt General] LCSO 9c8:
So I have a theory as to why this has happened to a few people including me. I too was on froyo running 1.6.3 bamf remix to me exact. Out of no where I lost all data (I'm not in a 4g area yet so i couldn't try that). I called Verizon and after about an hour a tier II guy says " force your phone to check for a software update, if that doesn't force the phone into 3g, nothing will." I tried that and it worked, but only for a sec then I lost data again. He said well its a hardware failure and sent me a new phone... In the meanwhile I continued to do a software check and after about 10 hours (checking about every hour) it finally stuck and my 3g came on and stuck.

My suggestion is go into a 3g area and try what I did. I believe the problem to be the Juice Defender app. Multiple other people have cited the exact problem and were using that app. And to be exact, its not the phone that is the issue...its your sim card. Replacing your sim should also fix the issue or at least it has foe many of the others. Hope this helps.

[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
Hmmmmm, so randomly this afternoon after my last post, the 3G just started to work. I seriously hadn't touched my phone in a couple of hrs, and then i picked it up and 3G was on, so i have no idea what happened.

I really appreciate all of the suggestions, and will definitely try the ##778 if it happens again.

OK so I'm looking to install a rom on a new GTab. I'm reading that there are new Honeycomb clones coming soon but I would much rather install a ROM that has been proven. My daughter is heading off to college again and I don't want her to be stuck with issues she won't understand. That being said which of the 2.3 versions are best. Please be understanding of my concern and don't arbitrarily say "this ones the best because this gut makes it". I truly need a stable rom.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
I'm not a fan of CM7 because of the lack of hardware accelerated drivers, but it seems to have been fairly stable.

I'm debating other roms at the moment (possibly froyo for more hardware support), but I'm thinking I might end up coming back to CM7 because my kids and wife use it and its been pretty rock solid.

Otherwise, heard good things about Vegan Gingerbread Edition.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchaneer.nl:
Are you talking about all roms (ie 1.1 & 1.2)?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thanks guys,

This is interesting. I have tried CM7 versions on a couple phones in the past and was never really impressed. I find CM7 forum folks short at times with fellow XDAers whom might not understand things as well as they do. You also make me wonder and I will check when done here but CM7 isn't a Froyo nor GB based yet??? Hmmm

I would imagine 1.1 due to it's longevity.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
CM7 is a Gingerbread based ROM. Its true, I had to leave XDA to get support for it. But I initially did it because it was compatible with netflix.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyciz:
Hey tomween1, Well I've had my tab on several roms and most have been pretty good but it dpends on how much "tweaking" you do:

for me (& ppls exp would differ dpending on what tweaks they have done):

I've found Vegan GingerEdition as SOLID AS A ROCK! (followed MobileTechVideos directions /vid--I call this out as Josh starts on 1.1-2XXX then OTA upgrade to 1.1-3XXX) which gets you to great place to spilt to either 1.2 or stay on 1.1. I've found 1.1 ROMS most stable.

I've used CM7 Nightly (1.2 ROM)- super fast speeds, got NETFLIX & Hulu to run perfectly, but it was unstable. I would reboot and all widets would "Problem loading..), usb to PC didnt work so had to place in CWM and mount usb or adb...sounds like you kid isnt into the geeky stuff

So right now gtab is on CM7 7.0.3 Stable (build is from May 2011), usb to pc works, got netflix & hulu running perfectly (after setting the CPU 1.5Ghx min/max on Perfomnance in CyanogenMod settings), seems steady been about a week and running GOF2 (game) for hours and doig emails, twitter etc. no problems.

Anyway good luck.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thank you for the in depth analysis, it is appreciated.

Josh's vids have always been fantastic, during most new endeavor's I will refer to his vids:)

I am interested in Hulu for her tab (god know she uses it on her laptop all the time) but cannot find an app for it.... yet.

I connected my new thunderbolt via usb to my pc and my old eris to move some stuff from my sd card to the new one and a 200mb folder was going to take 80 min! I let it sit for 2 min thinking it wouldn't actually take that long but it was. I pulled the card out of my thunderbolt and used an sd adapter, transferred the same folder and it took 30 sec.
