[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
What was your phone in for, hardware or software? It's supposed to be that hardware issues (charge port, screen, buttons,, etc..) do not require that the phone bo returned to stock. On a phone with software issues we are supposed to return the phone to stock, run updates then troubleshoot. I know it blows getting that finely tuned custom ROM/Kernel wiped but the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

Now I personally will not flash a customers phone back to stock unless there is no other option but will generally start with a wipe to clear any crap out of the phone. Then again, when I was working with teamwin and orrebmas I was rooting/unrooting and flashing all the major ROMs as many as 10-15 times a day so I'm a bit more familiar with custom ROMs than most techs.

As a tech I can verify that for one, only Sprint employees have access to that forum and the service subforum from which that came is for ASC techs. Second, almost the entire thread was techs complaining about why should they service rooted phones for free. These are the same people that claim there is no way to be sure if a phone is rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
OK, now I see, I didn't realize you were a Sprint tech. Anyway, you know my situation, what would you recommend? What could be causing my random shutoffs related issues? Also, I've only had the phone since March. Is my issue covered by warranty? I don't have insurance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
Thermal shutoff bug: If the phone gets to hot it will shut off and not turn on til it's cooled down. The sensor can get out of calibration and require lower and lower temps before it will boot. The worst case I have personally observed was a phone that needed to be below freezing before it would boot. This bug will also cause the charging circuit to not charge (it thinks it's too hot).

In a room that's no more than 75deg Fahrenheit turn on all the radios and run neocore interactive mode. Let it run for atleast an hour. If the phone shuts off immediately check to see if the kickstand is hot. Now I don't mean warm but hot. If the kickstand is not hot then your phone's temp sensor is out of calibration and requires that the phone be replaced. This is a known issue or "Device KIS". If the phone is within it's one year warranty there is no charge for the replacement. If the phone is out of warranty it is up to the discretion of the tech and/or manager to assist you in getting it replaced via Authorized Exchange or "AE".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
I ran through the program as you suggested and the kickstand wasn't hot and didn't power cycle at all. Then what?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
I have three Sprint stores in my area. Two of them are managed technically inept managers, one of them is managed by a techno-god, I don't know what he's doing managing a Sprint shack but so be it. I talked to him about rooted Evos and he said that the other two stores don't check for it because they don't know anything about the concept of rooting. But HE DOES because it's hard to guarantee a repair on a rooted phone. According to him, it's up to the store's management and also up to Sprint. They don't necessarily check for "root" but if servicing a phone requires a software update, they're going to use a stock RUU and voila! That was my experience.
[General Questions and Answers] DarkTreader:
I was in the process of installing the 2.3.4 rom on Evo 4G and after launching it thru ROM Manager it processed a bunch, rebooted it then got the spacy ANDROID word across the screen and was like that for a long time. any idea how long it should be on that screen the first time, or what proceedure should I have done to install the ROM... PLz help :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] jikantaru:
sometimes my phone always intereferes with desktop computer I can hear my pc computer making a beep beep beep sound every 10-15 mins in the speaker, it's so anoyying, usually I only get that interference when I got a msg or when someone is calling in my Nokia X6 but never had this problem on Nokia.

Is it just me or someone also have this problem?

This might be the cause of battery discharge so quick.
[HTC Wildfire S] neo-rg:
It could be your phone having a weak signal and polling the phone mast or either one of the many services trying to sync, like weather,facebook, news, stocks or even htc sense.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
That's pretty normal; it just means your pc-speakers are unshielded (common with cheaper models).
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
If you have powerful speakers there probably receiving radio interference. My friend has speakers like these plugged into his pc, we've worked out when somebody gets a text or phone call and how far away they are. Ahh the days.:rolleyes:

Hey guys my girl friend has a stock Fascinate. Recently after the Froyo update it stared to freeze up and links across the screen. Everything becomes transparent. All four soft buttons become illuminated. You have to remove the battery. I was curious if anyone else has heard or seen this. Thanks...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellen_hed:

[Continuum General] jaizero:
So I found this today while probing the internet for answers concerning updates for our Samsung phones. I realize this may be borderline double posting but I didnt want it to get lost in the "Update is made" post.

So here it is...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...royo-updates-being-held-back-because-of-cost/

-Justin
[Continuum General] Weudel:
I'm not sure what they updated on the 5th, but this article is several months old. The Vibrant controversy blew up and within a week or two they got Froyo, followed by the Captivate, the Epic, and the Fascinate... Now it's just us and a few stragglers on small telcos left......

I'm thinking of demanding a new battery cover without the Galaxy S logo, since they clearly don't consider us to be a part of the line when they announce updates coming to "all Galaxy S" devices.
[Continuum General] logan302:
New Battery Cover

Ha! This is old, so I think it boils down to the lack of a ROI for the update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jason2302:
This is really simple, and I really shouldn't have even started the thread name with "HOW-TO." But anyway, as some of you may know, Gameloft doesn't officially support the DROID Charge for whatever reason(s). However, they make some of the best games around for Android and I felt like testing some things on my own.

So after about 5 minutes (when the extra game files were done downloading), I was able to find my solution: any version of the games that you download will work, as long as they're a Galaxy __ version. For me, I used some Galaxy S-version downloads and they all worked great.

Hope this helped :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] CranberryJeus:
hey so you all know you can actually edit your build.prop to play all the gameloft games in your build.prop you can edit your model brand name device and board to the following

ro.product.model=SCH-I500

ro.product.brand=verizon

ro.product.name=SCH-I500

ro.product.device=SCH-I500

ro.product.board=aries

so far i have tested with order and chaos and 2 other games

this will also allow you to access the gameloft store and see gameloft games in the marketplace
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
i500 is the Fascinate. i510 is the Charge. So change the above from i510 to i500.
[Verizon Droid Charge] CranberryJeus:
yep i was trying to keep in the same line of phones to avoid getting some weird incompatible versions but so far the fascinate/galaxy s versions work great
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:
The game got updated but I can't see it after searching for it in market. its under my Apps but not showing up after searching order and chaos nor is it letting me update

Edit: seems like everyone is having the same problem. It's a gameloft issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HeavyC:
Moving from X to Charge

Ok, I am moving from a Droid X and had a question. I currently have about 12 Gameloft games I purchased from their onine store. What is the best way to transfer those to the Charge? I'm assuming the X apk's I have will not work. Do I just email Gameloft and tell them I switched to an i500? Thanks in advance for any advice. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:
Until they support this device use the method as stated above.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I have Black Pegasus that I bought on my Fascinate. If I load it on the Charge, it tells me it is not an original copy of the game.

Can this be fixed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
be aware there is a time limit on how long your gameloft games are available for download again from gameloft....i bought Lets Golf a long time ago, wiped my phone and didnt bother putting it back on for a couple months, then went to put it on and they say i no longer have access to that game because it had been over 60 days(i think that was how long it said)
[Verizon Droid Charge] CranberryJeus:
from what i can tell there is no way to transfer games from one device to another so if you bought on a non fascinate/charge you are SOL, you may be able to get specific support but they have no transfer procedure on their website
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
Going from a Fascinate to a Charge though, do you have to edit the build.prop file?
[Verizon Droid Charge] CranberryJeus:
I believe that some games are compatible without a build prop but most games need an edit to appear as a fascinate
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
I've tried 4 different games and they all worked without me changing build.prop.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I installed Modern Combat 2 and it just tells me that is is not an original copy. I did buy in for the Fascinate. Would editing the build.prop cause any other issues? Would this keep me from seeing things in the market?

Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] CranberryJeus:
I had to change my build.prop to play order and chaos I'm not sure about others though, yes editing your build.prop will alter what you see in the market so if any development does kick up for the droid charge that is not compatible with the fascinate you won't see it in the market
[HTC Sensation] jboy15:
its really irritating me!

anyone know the fix to this?

wouldve been a perfect phone!

should i get a replacement or it would be the samething if i do?
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Just fully restart your phone, should fix the issue. When custom ROMs come out, that should fix the problem.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
It won't work. That is, if you're trying to get the ones from the Samsung roms. They hook deeply into the touchwiz ui, and therefore won't work. (Not even sure I'd they'll install, let alone show up in your app drawer).

2 - pull up the Drivers on PC Companion Folder copy it to your PC

3 - Extract it

4 - connect your x10 mini on your computer (charge phone only)

5 - right click on computer>properties (advance system settings>Hardware)( if you are using Windows Vista and 7) then find DEVICE MANAGER

6 - find the SEMC HSUSB Device (the device must update the driver) your x10 mini ADB driver is in PC Companion>driver>All Signed: you can find it where you extracted the PC companion driver

7 - right click on the unknown device then update it e.g (C:\Users\Desktop\AllSigned)

8 - after the update the unknown device must be named : Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver

9 - now you can use the Superoneclick program....

It has the flashtool, links to the stock SE firmare and instructions on how to use the flashtool, how to root & install xrecovery using the flashtool. If you are sure about BB54 then the file you need is this:

or this

Good luck.

and also sorry for the loads of questions...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
you need to use xrecovery version 0.3. If I find it, I will post it here.

http://www.mediafire.com/?eyihuzn4h96xw4c
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
You should use Xrec 0.3 which now can be easily installed via FlashTool.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
v0.3 but you don't have to download it separately. Once you download the flashtool and root your phone, go to advanced and you'll see install xrecovery.

Was your device branded? If yes then then the answer is no. It will flash generic 2.1 firmware but maybe not exactly as yours originally.

[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
Unfortunately you need root to take a screenshot. Its possible via the app "ShootMe" which is available in the Market.

To obtain temp root you need adb installed with necessary drivers. Then you simply visit any thread that offers temp root and run the batch command file; it does it all for you.
