[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
I don't really follow... How can the knowledge of a key whose sole use is to tell the bootloader that the ROM is allowed for the device allow anyone use it as an exploit? It is not used anywhere else in the system nor when communicating with outside world. What they are about to do is to remove this "additional security" altogether. How does that make it more secure??
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
I might have to do something similar. There will be plenty people who don't mind having an S-ON Vodafone Sensation. But really, if Vodafone won't allow an unlocking update, then I will need to work something out :(
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
I hear ya.... I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with the Sensation. Looks like you have a nice one now with your Sammy ;)

I'm confused though...I'm sure you didn't just say you were swayed by the advertisement? The marketing of the phone? Personally, I looked at as much research/reviews/user feedback as I could before I bought this phone. I don't think I ever once saw any official advertisement before I purchased. I first saw it on Engadget.

For me, its been nothing but a great phone, camcorder, camera etc. Screen is gorgeous, records in stereo 1080p.....you name it. Once rooted it will be a true beast. As is....it is great as well. Sorry you hate Qualcomm and HTC so much....you might wanna stay away from them in the future....as you said you will.

The vast majority of people who own this phone love it. Now it's only going to get better.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Good news Im very excited. September is not that far. Just relax and enjoy the rest of of the summer. September will be here faster than you know it. Have a beer... Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] dontw:
im sure someone will unlock the boot before then...htc needs to stop being lazy lol I can wait tho...this phone is a beast...I jus had to break myself from my flashing disease comming from a hd2 and g2 lol and for people having touchscreen problems...are yu guys using a case such as the body glove? because I was and I think that was the problem...I think its a static electricity issue because when I removed the case and rubbed the phone on my pants the phone went back to normal...and hasn't had a problem sense ..and yes htc denies the issue...I even pointed out to the rep. I talked to that yu can Google the issue...still denied ...can't wait to put cm7 on tho...:)
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
Not 1 issue with my Sensation. Temp root with bloatware frooze is cool for me until the bootloader is unlocked. Nobody forced anyone to buy the phone and we're not owed anything, but it would be a plus. That's just how I look at it. I like my phone as is.......its only gonna get better. Chalk it up n ditch the phone or get over it.
[HTC Sensation] shootind5nukes:
I know something was kinda said about this earlier but, and correct me if I'm wrong, the update that HTC is hopefully going to be pushing out is ultimately up to Tmo to give the final thumbs up right? That's why our(tmo customers) update is coming out later than the rest. HTC will just push the update for everyone else when it's ready, ours has to go through the trials of tmo to decide if it's "stable" for us. And by stable I mean tmo wants to shove their software down our throat and will probably be aginst us wanting to unlock our phones, and almost instantly remove their junk. If they decide that they don't want us removing their stuff they'll just say "it's unstable" and that could be the last we hear about it. I hope that don't happen but if you have called tmo's customer support you know they don't give a $*!& about the customer. Let's hope for the best. Sorry for all the typos.
[HTC Sensation] n8dwgphx:
My $549.99 question is will they still honor the warranty if they give us unlocker update ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
I am getting a replacement tomorrow from Asurion. Now, if I have any further issues with the new phone, will I need to continue to go through them, or can I go through T-Mobile?

I bought my phone in-store for what that's worth...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
You should be able to do it through the Manufacturer (LG) and/or T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
First, why did you get a replacement with Asurion and not with T-Mobile?

The answer may depend on your answer to this question, why? :confused:

Because:

If it was because you lost your phone or physical damage, then I am pretty sure T-Mobile will take care of it if something does not function correctly.

If it was because T-Mobile didn't want to exchange it like they have been doing with some other people, then obviously they wont exchange next time either.

FYI, I haven't done a replacement with Asurion, this is just what I believe. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
T-Mobile is still doing replacements. I recently ordered a replacement and its expected to come on the 19th of this month (of course) .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Thanks for the opinions but has anyone done this before? I am replacing it due to a broken screen/water. Who drops their phone in a puddle and breaks their screen at the same time? This guy.

Thanks guys
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
actually asurion isnt all that bad but get ready or the hefty deductable. they base it off the msrp iirc. you'll probably have to pay like 150$ or more at least. Also theres a chance they dont cover water damage. GL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TurboTsi:
The deductible is based on what tier the phone is. High end smartphones are third tier I believe and the deductible is $130
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swampthing1224:
Just went through this with assurion, when sweat soaked through my armband and killed the screen, or the video card rather. $ 130, and a refurb, but WAY better battery life, and real stable. Of course my other one was stable until wet.
[Acer Iconia A500] cq842000:
Hello everyone,

I have a query that perhaps those in the know could offer me some guidance on. Firstly, among the different flavors of 10.1'' Android tablets how similar are the innards both in hardware and placement? I ask this because the color depth of my Acer Iconia is horrible in my opinion...especially sitting next to my wife's Asus Transformer. The colors are very washed out and the banding that occurs on gradients are not ignorable. I've seen it cited in a couple of threads with the general consensus being that Acer can do nothing on the software side to improve this saturation short sight. I have replaced many laptop screens and bezel assemblies, as well as repaired numerous bezels. I am aware that due to the relatively recent release of these tablets, replacement parts will be hard to find, but I want to do it regardless. According to Acer, their screen has more capacitive registers and I assume that there is a layer over the actual screen itself with the registers, but I'd love to perfect this beauty with an IPS screen. Also, I pulled it apart today and turned the microphone toward the screen panel side and finally my friends on Skype can hear me... So how possible is this upgrade, and are there any tips for this undertaking? Thanks in advance for your help and/or consideration.
[Acer Iconia A500] cq842000:
So what do you guys think about the mod idea? Would it be worth it....or even possible?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I think it's definitely a great idea. I'm just not experienced with this level of hardware modding so have no input on it's feasibility or whether it would even work without some software hacking as well.

If you manage it, definitely post your results.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
well well you need to find a LCD plate who is compatible (voltage and data stream) with the LED LCD AUO B101EW05 inside our tablet: http://auo.com/?sn=149&lang=en-US&c=34&n=146

the only things weird

is

Response Time (ms)	8 from AUO

Response Time (ms) 25 from Acer

so far I would like see a 5ms screen :D rather than a 16M color :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Would be very cool if you managed to, and if so ill repeat what was said above, please post your results and if successful please make a step by step guide :D

Sharing is caring ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] cq842000:
I'd like to meet somewhere in the middle maybe 5-12ms response and 16m colors. I'll have to wait until after market replacements become available and pray that the connections are compatible or that the PCB has generic leads to solder. Next is the software, assuming that the basic low level hardware is identical, software should be the easy part. Only time and research will tell. Does anyone have any OEM info on the Asus tf101 screen?
[Trophy General] Rev1vaL:
My girlfriend just unlocked her HTC Trophy on verizon. We put my att sim card in it, and voice/text worked great but she didn't have any 3g data, only edge.

Anyone know an apn setting so that way we can get the 3g data working on her phone?

PS, unlocking the Trophy was the easiest thing ever, vzw provided her with the code.
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
First I want to thank thor2002ro for ClockworkMod Recovery and making flashing and updating fast, easy and safe, also vache for providing 3.1 update, sc2k for an easy and quick way to root any version of the A500, last but not least Interphaze Solutions (whoever he is) for the Acer Recovery Installer.

I just updated (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) IT works, no wifi issues, GPS now takes a lot to get location, and seeing a lot of performance improvements and fixes, was late and delayed 5 times but here it is and we are enjoying it.

Thus I wonder why no one even bothers to make a change log or something... like all the changes and improvements:

Acer_ A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1

Applies to all Android 3.1 Acer Official Updates, OTA or Leaked (installed yourself).

New Apps

Kobo

eBook store and eBook reader

Movie Studio

Video editor

Updated Apps

Youtube

Moved fullscreen button, HD button, play button, slower double tap needed to go fullscreen/back higher performance, Cache fixed and higher cache, doesn't stutters/chops/drop frames at start or when OSD shows up (volume, controls, etc).

Flash 10.3

Music

Better looking, UI improvements, it finally updates, Google Music Beta

MusicA

Better looking, UI improvements, lots, better "listening" (now it can identify Japanese music played through my phone, SWEET).

NFS Shift

Icon changed, now is more visible and have HD on it, who knows what else is changed :)

Improvements/Fixes

UI is faster, more responsive, doesn't stutters like before.

Wifi Icon in notification bar now shows net activity.

Support for ACC+ streaming (or whatever uses winamp in shoutcast radio streams).

720p videos play smoothly, some 1080p videos too (simple profile ones I think, needs confirmation).

New Video Codecs Support, now MKV videos plays with Mobo Player (didn't worked before).

Video intro for games pre installed now always plays (before they crashed, but didn't force close the game)

Auto-brightness works now, it just changed its behavior, its not longer "instant", takes a while.

Recurring Issues

Randomly waking up/screen turns on

Mic still SUCKS (srly did Acer even test it by recoding someones voice and playing it back just to hear how well/awful sounds?)

New Issues

GPS wasn't broken, now it is (can see 7 sats but only onle lock after 2min and really poor signal)... maybe has something to do with GEN3 now updated to GEN1 thus missing something, can someone confirm.

Youtube widget is micro and deformed, there is a fix here in XDA.

New bloatware, or at least more packet, includes 2 songs and 2 videos (maybe 720p haven't checked) to show off in retails maybe.

You can help to make this a lot more complete, please contribute, post your discoveries, findings or changes you noticed.

And finally excuse my crappy english, as you can easily tell its not my native language, any correction and recommendations are very welcome.

[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Google+

"Huddle" is installed when installing Google+, which does *not* cone pre-installed on 3.1 - sounds like you already had it there. Installing Google+ creates two shortcuts - Google+ and Huddle

Speaking of, if anyone wants a Google+ invite, dm me - I got a few to burn :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] dgoemans:
Huddle is part of the Google+ mobile app. It's for group chats.

* damn, someone beat me to posting this by a few minutes... serves me right for not refreshing :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Marcher:
I also updated the "Vache" way from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1.

One problem - now seems to be fixed - I had on 1.141.01 was the following :

Could only connect to our company (outsourced) Exchange-Server 2007 via IMAP whereby whenever I would forward a message, the forwarded-message would "loose" the original content when send. .

I did try and (bought) Touchdown TAB, which is great, but for some reason does not allow me to retrieve/sync older messages.

[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
speaking of the autobrightness

Seems to only work if I set brightness to a level in the middle and reboot. Once I touch the slider again no auto bright until reboot. Any fix for this anyone is aware of?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Lol quick post ownage :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
After a while I noticed that auto brightness WORKS!!!, but its no longer "instanly", it takes awhile, give it a minute.

To test it try to put half brightness then turn on auto brightness, after a while turn off auto brightness and BOOM goes the light, so it works :D just changed its behavior :p bad auto brightness, bad :rolleyes:

Thank you all for your contributions, updating ASAP!
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I think two things mentioned in the OP *could* be hardware issues. I'm on my third A500 after returning the second one because the microphone would barely pick up my voice. This new one records my voice rather well, but voice to text is still a bit spotty (I blame the google servers for that). Another thing I have noticed is that the auto brightness on this unit actually works quite well whereas on the older unit it barely worked, if at all. I can change the brightness all the way up or down, turn the auto on and within a second or two it sets it to something more appropriate. If I cover the sensor the display dims, if I hold it towards the window it brightens. It works like an auto brightness should work. I still have 3.01 on the new unit and am waiting for the OTA update to come, whenever that is...

The second unit was manufactured in may, this unit is manufactured in april. I suggest if you have concerns about auto brightness and microphone, see if you can test another one at the store.

One question for those having issues with the microphone and auto brightness? Did you apply a screen protector? If so, was it a wet application type?

Rob
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
My new A500 has an auto brightness that seems to work perfectly. I tried what you said and it still works ok. The unit I returned a few days ago had a bad microphone and the auto brightness didn't seem to work well - or at all.

URL for download the update.zip please... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
You didn't read the 1st post did you...

We recomend you to do a back up first, update to 4.010.22 and after a while acer tells you theres a new update 4.010.30, thats it, you're updated and good to go, 100% stock... I still recommend a custom rom, they rock.

i want a google + invite
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
What does that have to do with Acer changelog?
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
Nothing, a user here offered google+ invites... and thats it :rolleyes:

:eek: Wow, .38 and .38 already out!!! come on guys what's changed?, anything new? what's fixed? please cooperate :D

:rolleyes: I haven't updated yet, :cool: wroking, waiting to get home to get .38 and .39... they're here in XDA for download

:) I just rebooted my iconia and didn't started :D, as usually be calm and don't worry, after a second try it worked.... :rolleyes: didn't even updated yet... I feel like using windows :p
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
I have a hunch that there might be a problem if these are available for download freely...

remember before when increment updates are specific to what rom you're currently started from ??

users might just download the latest "increments" ... I wondered if that might screw up their device due to incompatibility ( starting rom build number )

???

:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
I offered g+ invites by direct message - have plenty to use up and wanted to share with XDA. Op mentioned g+ apps, figured it was a good time to share some g+ love with the interwebsb:-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
I'm quoting myself from another thread:

:D And I think the issues (reboot frozen) was due acer recovery or CWM... software highly experimental is prone to fail time to time... ;) And nothing that a factory reset plus unnistalling recovery and cwm doesn't fix. :) I think :rolleyes: but don't bet on it.

:D I appreciate your love

[Acer Iconia A500] dweebken:
I got the Android 3.1 OTA update last night. I'm in Australia and my new build is Acer_A500.4.010.40_COM_GEN1

Wonder what the difference is?

As well as getting Kobo (which I don't want as I already have Kindle) I also got Zinio in the update, which "allows" me to buy magazine subscriptions which I can't get on my Kindle because Amazon won't sell them to me in Oz.

So far (less than 24 hours) everything seems to be okay except that Kaiten mail seems to be stuck somewhere. Dunno if its related.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Additional update/fixes:

WiFi now allows you to define proxy setting at an individual network level

Added Windows Media (wma/wmv) codecs (I can finally use the stock player to play my wma lossless CD rips!)

USB host updated (USB mouse and MTP camera support added)

1080p output through HDMI

Native Exchange Active Synch support added (no more copying Email apps from other tabs!)

Unofficially, I think the "improves media player capabilities for MPEG4 simple profile" update means hardware acceleration finally.

Acer official update notice is here.
[Acer Iconia A500] The_Monkey_King:
I don't see the Kobo app on my update. (4.010.11_COM_GEN2). However, the US bookstore chain, Borders, just announced that they will be closing and liquidating all of their assets. Borders owns 10% of Kobo.

I can confirm that Moboplayer now plays my AVI and MKV files that it couldn't before. (mVideoPlayer, nemoPlayer and clear.fi still cannot)
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Kobo and Borders are working on having people transfer their Borders eBook libraries to Kobo.

I can't get over that, why won't other manufacturers get on board? D3 looks like an awesome piece for hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] infazzdar:
I believe that the Droid 3 would be a highly epic phone if Motorola would decide to unlock its bootloader.

It has so much wasted developer potential, and Motorola needs to learn the fact that open sells.

I can also say that my next purchase won't be Motorola if the bootloaders don't get unlocked.

(Or atleast the bootloader on the Targa, I was hoping for a slideout key board though.)

Why bother with that when you can download...

SD Speed Increase from the market and it does the same thing. The app that he is using to see read and write speed is SD Tools which can also be found on the market.

The number 2048 seems to work best with most people's cards and although you would think 4096 would be better but it depends on the SD card being used and its class. Atleast that what i have read about this sort of thing.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
So I removed the Sprint proxy right when I got the phone & followed instructions from here Data reset a must as well as here WiMAX (4G) Reconnection Time

I manually backed up my WiMAX settings & Sprint proxy settings but I think when I did the data reset a must a few things might have gotten changed.

So is there an easy way to reset everything back to factory default? I know doing a clear storage won't reset it but maybe a ##786 rest will? (I haven't tested) I found all the default settings posted for the evo4G but I think the 3D might be a little different.

My MMS server URL is completely blank and I'm not sure if it was by default. Also my EVDO settings I'm not sure if my default is CDMA only or automatic? My MMS seems to work just fine (even with MMS URL being blank) and I currently have my EVDO set to automatic.
