with Black Tie, don't they get you a new phone? or is it a refurb ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Refurb w/ Rapid Exchange (~2-3 business days).

Yeah what's this focus problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
When people are taking 3d video and I am assuming pictures as well, when viewing on a non 3d screen and it shows as side by side, the right picture is actually blurry and the left picture is much clearer.

If Sprint were to actually track rooted devices and not warranty them under their plan, they would be losing a lot of $7 a month charges that has probably just been extra money in their pocket for the most part.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Yea I was just thinking I still have TEP to fall back on, call in the phone stolen or something. I doubt ill brick my phone but something like the back light went out or whatever other manufacturer defect I will be expecting a replacement.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I think the reason rooting a phone freaks them out and makes them void the warranty when someone does it is because of overclocking. If you burn out your processor early because you are pushing it far beyond the speed it was meant to go, they don't want to have to pay to replace your phone.

I would bet if there was no such thing as overclocking they wouldn't really care. At least the manufacturer wouldn't...the carriers would still cry because you can circumvent their $30 a month tethering plans...
[HTC EVO 3D] dbolot1:
What happens to the phone when you try to sell it, the ESN is on file so the new person is out of luck? Or what about receiving a refurbished phone which was unlocked before, do they change ESN? I don't think so. Just like someone here already did, I call this fake..
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
ESN can be changed but it is illegal. Not even manufacturers change them. Though IDK about the legality with them doing so. So long as you don't call Sprint and say your phone was lost or stolen, it won't get blacklisted.

This might be nitpicky, but any way that someone can create a zip/rom that has the stock Android Honeycomb navigation buttons?

When ASUS made honeycomb on the transformer they used their own back, home, menu, windows buttons, any chance we can get them to their stock look? Thanks :cool:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80centjack:
So I recently installed Virtuous Unity. I love it, it's great and runs really well. But coming from CM7, the battery life is not good. In fact, it's about like before I rooted: aka not good enough.

When I check available memory in CM7, I have over 400. In Sense, I usually have under 200 and my battery lasts a third of the time.

Has anyone else found a way around this? I've seen some others talk about the great battery life that this rom offers, but for me it seems to be the only negative. Any suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
i'm on virtuous unity and so far i've had outstanding battery life.

on sense, you can't have as much free memory as an AOSP or stock android rom, because the ui is such a big file, and demands lots of power.

but free memory doesn't really matter :p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80centjack:
Sure, I see that Sense is more graphically intensive, but I've been going to bed with percentages left in the 60-70% range, and right now headed to bed I'm looking at 26%. When I see what's running, I have crap I haven't turned on (Netflix, Music, Stocks, and many more apps) that are running without being started.

It might be possible to disable that, but I haven't found a way and instead feel like I have a high end non-rooted device. If you're getting good battery life, did you make any adjustments or did I just get unlucky with my flash?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULTIMATEHURT:
Sense kills the google experience. Its the worst custom skin out there. The only thing I like bout sense is the wifi drivers. They are super strong. Other then that im sticking with cm7/AOSP roms. No bloat on AOSP. To give you an idea what im talking bout. Average sense rom=315 mb average AOSP rom=90 mb sooooooo what's wrong with this picture. I've seen some sense roms up to 450mb which is straight retarded. Stick with AOSP.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannydro:
I love my virtuous unity rom, I don't know bout you guys but I get excellent battery life for a smart phone. Yeah cm7 could give me an extra 10% but its just so damn ugly it ruins my phone,makes it look old and cheap. The only thing I miss is the scrolling wallpaper I hate that virtuous can't do but hey its the price you gotta pay for an elegant phone. But to all their own.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80centjack:
I like both. I have no problem with either, I'm just really enjoying Sense 3.0 and it's lock screen, weather and smooth animation. It's not lagging for me either, which is nice. But it's not a 10% battery difference. More like 40%. If I have 65% on CM7 and 25% on Virtuous Unity at the end of the day...

If there's nothing that can be done that's cool, I'll flip flip back and forth at will I suppose. But the purpose of this thread was to see if anything can be done to improve the battery life.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
Huh? Have you used Touchwiz or how can anything be worse than Motoblur? I'd have to say Sense is one of the best overlay UIs out of the bunch but I prefer AOSP experience. I would like to have the Sense Widgets and apps to choose but I like the speed and customization I have now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Generally, plain Android fans don't care what custom UI you're talking about, they're going to hate and say it sucks no matter what.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 80centjack:
I certainly didn't mean to start a flame war on which is best. I really do like aspects of each. But the battery life is not good on that rom compared to CM7. Not even close.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
In that case - look for the differences, they're in your 3rd party apps or ROM settings. Most people, including myself, get very good battery life with VU.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Sense is definitely not the worst.. That trophy goes to MotoBlur by far. I think Sense is the second best overlay next to TouchWiz 4.0

But to answer your question I'm actually getting a little less battery than AOSP, which is really good for VU. To extend your battery life have you tried re-calibrating it? That should help a lot. Also you can try using ADW or LPP for your Launcher because the Sense launcher takes up so much RAM. But of course then you'd be killing half of the Sense experience. But I don't use the Sense widgets all that much so maybe you won't mind going that direction.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankiedizzle87:
I dont know what i am doing wrong i have bricked 3x trying to get this going. Ok here is the scoop one final time. I am on HKTW rigght now and i go to the CMW and flash the 4.5 it starts off smooth and then it gets stuck at the web-top permissions for some reason. DO i have to start from a lower build and update? I am determined to get this working tonight because i really dont want to get comfy with the HKTW because ill loose a lot when i eventually do flash. So some instructions please do i have to wipe anything before flashing? Please help me out and i leave yall in peace :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
Try with beta 3 first, I went from hktw to beta 3 with no issues
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diviance:
Do you mind giving a little more info? What version of the CWM you are using might help, what exactly you mean when you say it gets stuck at the Webtop permissions, which exact version of 2.3.4 are you trying to install...

If you mean it hits Webtop during the install and doesn't go anywhere... well, for some reason Webtop takes for godawful ever to install. Several minutes. Try letting it sit for a little while?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D$G:
Same boat

I'm in the same boat as you frankie. Had to flash back to HKTW because it kept getting stuck on dual core technology screen. Tried both Kens and Nava's GB .zips with no luck. Just realized my CWM is outdated, but I don't see how that would be the problem. The installation with Kens GB says its completed but the green bar isn't full, I let it sit and it fills up. I will update CWM and try again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
Try the beta 3 NOT 4.5
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D$G:
LMFAO I'm an idot... It was the outdated CWM, I updated it and it installed Kens GB ROM with no problem. Frankie I hope this works for you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diviance:
Funny how one small thing can break everything, isn't it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D$G:
True that, I think the main issue was the wipe data/format. Which the new CWM fixed :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyronJ906:
D$G THANK YOU for realizing what your mistake was. You know what? I have been making the exact same mistake. An old version of CWM, and getting stuck at the dual core screen. I get a feeling it will flash correctly for me this time. I hope the OP gets his own problem fixed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankiedizzle87:
yea thanks for real but how do i know which version i am using of it lol

[Edit] HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH IT WORKS its because i didnt have updated CMW but more important i cannot flash the radio.... why?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
You have to flash the radio via RSDLite

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I'd suggest repairing the firmware via SEUS or PC Companion.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthik.chopper:
hey drew, try this method to check if there is a hardware fault

-> open the dailer application

-> type the following number *#*#7378423#*#*

-> go to service tests

-> select vibrator

-> test if the vibrator is functioning

if it vibrates then it is a software malfunction else your hardware is gone, get it replaced
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew1129:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Neither worked. Looks like I'm going to have to live with it. Don't feel like sending it in and waiting on the repair. Missing the haptic feedback though.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew1129:
Just got off the phone with Sony Ericsson. They say my phone is not under warranty since it just came out in the US. Anyway they will charge me to send it in for repair. I just did some searching for parts for the Arc hopefully to find the vibrator. No luck. All I'm finding is bezels. Anyone know where I can get it?

Found this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Earpiece-Vibrat...596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a115c7db4

I would assume this would be the same on LT15a.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoplou:
Did this new vibrator works ?:confused:

I have same issue...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nruri:
same issue

I also have the same issue with the vibrate feature not working.

I removed the part and tested the motor, and the motor still works.

So I doubt replacing the component would fix this issue.

has anyone has any luck getting vibrate to work again?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xain147:
I had this problem a couple of months back.. So here is what i did which made the vibrator to work again.. I had just resetted the 'factory data settings' and after that updated my phone with the same firmware once again.. This solved my problem.. I cant assure if this will work with others or not but it did with me..

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoplou:
I do same. First I reset to factory. Then it appears that broke my wifi :eek:

So I use SEUS to restore the rom and all is back (wifi and vibrator).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nruri:
I did a factory reset and reflashed, didn't work.

I did a factory reset then used SEUS to repair / reflash the phone and it didn't work.

I guess I'm out of luck :(

Thanks guy

I will try the same what yout did, but my bootloader ist unlocked an my phone is rooted.

Can i use then the SEUS repair?

I'm afraid to brake my phone!!!!:confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Depends on how you unlocked the bootloader if you unlocked via setool or s1tool then no need to worry.

Jinx13
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc-dida:
The problem is that i dont really remember which way i unlocked my bootloader.

Is there any way to find it out?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Well if you performed the testpoint then you could have unlocked it these ways...

1. Setool

2. s1tool

3. omnius

If you didn't then...

Official se method

Do you have working track ID etc etc

Have you accepted an ota update before and not bricked your device?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
With the Inc2, Verizon introduced a new free feature called “Sync and Connect” that allows smartphone users to view an all-in-one inbox online of all their email accounts as well as their contacts.

I learned about this feature while I was browsing MyVerizon.com and decided not to give Verizon access to all my contacts and confidential email; yet, when I activated my new Inc2, Verizon enrolled me into this feature without my permission. The only reason I, and many others, realized what had happened was because the service is notifying people with a Verizon text from VZWNMN (6250) every time this MyVerizon all-in-one email inbox receives a new email.

I had to call Verizon twice to turn it off the feature and in the end I myself had to go into MyVerzion.com and delete the data they misappropriated. Some people are even claiming they cannot receive their emails if the feature is deactivated.

I am not an attorney, but I have studied law and I think Verizon opting us into this "experimental service" without our consent is illegal. It's, at least, an invasion of privacy and, at worst, can be the misappropriation of confidential information.

I have already spoken to a lawyer and they are already looking into whether we have a viable cause of action. I know that Google was sued for opting people into buzz without there consent so this might have legs.

If you were enrolled in “Sync and Connect” without your permission...

if you are as pissed-off about this as I am...

if you are interested in some possible restitution...

please PM me or email me at ForougAS@gmail.com
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Probably is in the backup assistant terms that we agreed to when first booting the phone.

Carelessly swyped on my phone so there may be some weird typos
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
If you read all of the terms that you agreed to when you renewed your contract and activated my I2, somewhere in there you agreed to this. I really hope you have a lawyer go through all of the legal crap before you try to start down this road. As much as we despise them, they are the legal experts.

The problem with contracts is people tend not to read them. Then something happens they don't like, but agreed to, and they get angry.

Also, this isn't illegal. It's possible it could be breach of contract, etc, but that would only make it a civil matter. To state something is illegal implies criminal activity and if you strongly believe something illegal is going on, then you get authorities involved (ie: FTC, FCC, etc).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
Why does every little issue require a class action lawsuit... people get uptight over the little things and think that by filling a suit against [insert company] that it will get solved.

Look at what happened with Samsung and the Vibrant. Yea we got an update but it just to shut us up because we spammed the hell out of their facebook and twitter. No lawsuit was filed, only threatened.

These topics are stupid.

/rant
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Agreed. They shouldn't even be posted unless real action is being pursued and a real case is being built. Without these components, the poster can actually find themselves in legal trouble.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
I didnt agree to backup assist terms. I never do. Dont need it, so i dont want it running in background. After all, contacts are already stored in the google cloud.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
I didnt sign new two year. Phone was an insurance claim.

Invasion of privacy, misappropriation of confidential business material, and wiretapping are all illegal activity. Not saying they did any of this for sure, just pointing put that they may have.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
A law suit is the only thing a company like Big Red understands. We need to slap them with a suit before they realized they cant pull some **** like this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
Action is being pursued, case is being built. Why do you think i posted this genius? Also, in case you didnt know... truth is a defense to defamation... so they can come at me all they want. I would rather keep this all secret until filing, but getting the class together is an important step.

Personally, I think comments like yours shouldn't be posted because they don't help anything. If your not interested... move on buddy. Some of us are actually pissed of about this and who are you to tell me my anger over the invasion of my privacy is unwarranted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zookii:
I would assume you clicked something unknowingly. I opted out of everything the phone asked and I do not have any service opted in on the myverizon.com site. I do have the suggestion for the service you speak of listed to enable but not already enabled. Sounds like you did it without understanding you did it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
Again, I don't need your opinions on why it happened. I'm not an idiot and I do read terms... they ****ed up and they know it. (even gave me credit towards next months bill as an apology)

I just need to know who else this has affected.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
hmm... im not even sure if I am. I dont do texting period and had verizon disable texts all together. I suppose ill have to check my account.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flappyraccoon:
You know... you could just flash another rom that doesn't have that feature on it. Problem solved.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zookii:
Honestly, you clicked something without reading. Not an opinion but apparently a fact since you signed up for a service. They credited you to shut you up. Nothing more, nothing less. You could rack up a severe bill on data charges, call and *****, and they will credit you to pacify you. Don't blame Verizon for your mistake and waste tax payers money in courts because you clicked something without reading.

Also how did you get a credit for something that was free anyways? Sounds like you called and complained about a free service you signed up for and they credited your account a certain amount to get you off the line.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
I'm telling you people it was opt out not in. They took my contacts without my permission. I just did a factory reset just to double check. This ain't my first rodeo people.

If it was opt out then why wasn't I opted in on it as I just got my Dinc2 recently and I am not signed up for it? Sounds very fishy on your part to me. Several others here stated they were not signed up either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
Agreed.

OP had to have enrolled or signed up for it. It shows up on mine, but also tells me I have to sign up for it. I'm pretty sure Big Red would make it pretty dummy proof that someone can't just auto enroll in something.

I smell BS..

It's all tied in with Backup Assistant. If he signed up for it, he should have read the TOS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:
Listen guys... I don't need you guys to believe me. I'm just intrested in the people who it also happened to. That's all. The rest of you can ignore this and continue on to flashing your next rom. Seriously... I'm not an idiot... I read... It happened... I can't explain the stupidity... But it happened. I've already heard back from enough people to know I'm not crazy... So...

Um...these people are responding with the fact it's not widespread. Just because you're not getting your way and you are blood thirsty for litigation because you, from the looks of it, possibly screwed up and agreed to something you didn't mean to and don't want to admit it doesn't mean you have a case and that you're right. You shouldn't attack people simply because you aren't getting your way.

Before I started using Android devices I used Backup Assistant. After upgrading to a smartphone, I killed this service and Verizon killed the data it stored. When I used it, I agreed to its terms. When I killed it, I was no longer in agreement to the terms. I noticed with my Inc2 this app ran regardless of if I wanted it to, but it never synced anything. I'm looking at my account online right now and there is nothing there.

This is an opt-in service. Either you opted in at some point in the past and never cancelled it, or you accidentally clicked something.

Good luck with your lawsuit.

nah guys, i get what he's saying. this dosent pertain to me exactly, but coming from his point of view, if what he says happened to him actually happened (not something i'd put past Big Red for a second) then it is an important part of his case to survey the class and make sure he's not the only one. If you aren't interested/dont agree/aren't effected by the issues raised, then simply move on, no need to put the guy down before you've even seen the details of the case. On the flip side, if this DOES pertain to you, speak up, or at the very least, shoot the man a pm.
