[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
0. How can you possibly "refute" any claim I've made if you haven't a) looked at my account or b) even talked to me.

1. I called corp HQ and talked to someone there who was willing to take the phone back. If you PM me I will give you her contact information.

2. I know you don't ship empty boxes - my guess is that a UPS employee was stealing the phones from the boxes. Stupid that I couldn't get t-mobile to ship them some other way because of this though.

3. I'm 100% sure the unit I did finally get was a refurbished phone - and if you read some of the other posts here you'll see that is what is normally shipped in these cases.

4. I know you phone isn't designed for ATT's network - HOWEVER you're ad's (which I have copies of) said they were. Furthermore T-Mobile can't provide me with a functioning unlock code for my phone so I can't use it for 2G data or voice on the other network either. Complete fail.

5. Of course their are radio streaming apps for Android which you could use in place of the FM radio - duh! But duh those use bandwidth - and seeing how t-mobile drops your bandwidth down to a totally useless 56kps this is dumb solution. The phone was advertised with a functioning FM radio ..which too me meant I would save a LOT of bandwidth, so this was partly why I bought the thing to begin with. (Yes I have copy of that ad / lie too.)

6. "...As a team member I feel badly that you have had a less than stellar user experience. However, it important to be fair and accurate with us if you desire TMO to be the same with you..." --> I've been more than fair - given that I've spent over 18 hours on the phone and spent 3 months trying to get a solution to my problem. As for being accurate, I've been 100% accurate and have all the info, ads, chat logs, and recorded phone calls to back it up.

Anyway I'll join the class-action lawsuit against LG and continue to take t-mobile to small claims court since obviously they are unwilling to simply give me my money back & cancel the account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] qniknam8125:
hey slick, you ever considering social engineering them to get what you want. tmobile is a bunch of idiots put together with a pink t as their front, change your rateplan and that extends your contract and puts you in 30 days buyers remorse, well after that change is completed, port your number then call tmobile care and ***** them out that you were promised this and you were promised that and they better credit your last bill. Why would you let them potentially F&*( up your credit, its pretty much nearly impossible to get rid of that ****.

Damaging your credit rating is like the guy who points the gun to his head and threatens to shoot himself if he doesn't get what he wants. Kaboom!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhAkEer:
Not exactly. Especially when talking about a phone bill debt...

It is almost the same as nothing.

I saw someone say they spoke with a CPA... Seriously?

Over an ETF that the US government has deemed unjust?

Oh no! Youll never get that house now!... Its not like we pass out loans like alcohol does sorority girls...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I know from similar experience that even a disputed charge of less than $200which goes into collection and remains unpaid will wreck your credit rating and, if it isn't paid, will wreck it for 7 years. The world economy is in a tailspin and banks, which helped perpetrate the biggest financial fraud in history, are total *******s about others' debts no matter how small even if the debt is unjustified. Be careful, pay the bill and dispute it through other means.

Hi ive got a dell streak and its stuck on the o2 splash screen and if you leave it the 3 bottom buttons flashes every now and then.

ive tryed flashing o2 stock 1.6 firmware and also tryed flashing 2.1 firmware and it does the exact same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas whats wrong with it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcadia310:
I'm looking to root my NS to overclock and dab into the voodoo stuff (heard it can really improve sound and screen quality) but all the root methods I've seen will totally wipe the phone. I have a lot of valuable data on my phone along with data in games that I don't want to lose. Is there any method that doesn't wipe the phone clean? I'm on a Mac btw.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
to my knowledge, no. when you unlock the boot loader, it wipes you clean.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
+1 its a security measure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
There is no known way to root without wiping. If you have any data you want to preserve, you can use cat or sd in terminal emulator (or perhaps adb shell) to copy the data files to the sdcard. Then backup the sdcard, as it too will be wiped. I can help you out with the commands to backup any apps that I have installed. Perhaps some one else who's rooted can give you the paths & filenames for your other paid apps.

Which apps are you looking to backup?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwee5467:
There is no way to NOT wipe but you can backup your data in several ways. Often when I have to change ROMs you need to wipe data as well, so I find apps to backup my apps (titanium backup) and other important data like texts and things.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Which app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Titanium backup requires root.

Thanks! This should be very helpful to devs and those of us who are adventurous with our phones! ;)
[Optimus V Android Development] Butterxbean:
Very interesting concept, I'd love to see how many uses this could have!
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
bump...

with a class 6 card, ath3nos/blarf cm7 runs great off sd.

even feels a little snappier than running from the phone mtd partitions.

I must benchmark soon to verify.

I'm really surprised no-one seems interested, I guess this is too old-hat, like a debian chroot :p
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
This is good work, but I think people require a bit more hand holding. How about publishing some of the modded files?

I personally still have problems recompiling a ramdisk.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I can post files one rom at a time, because the ramdisk and kernel will be a bit different for each rom, and so will the permission/symlink updater-script.

first, I'll have to get rom-dev permission, because they get modded, and also cause it's nice to have permission.

fastboot provides a fantastic shortcut for that, if you cpio-gzip the ramdisk together after editing it to your specs

fastboot can make the boot.img for you and either dump it into the phone (assuming your shell current directory contains your kernel (zImage) and ramdisk (newramdisk.cpio.gz))

fastboot -c "mem=477M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=thunderc" flash:raw boot zImage newramdisk.cpio.gz

or boot your phone from the assembled image without actually flashing it in.

fastboot -c "mem=477M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=thunderc" boot zImage newramdisk.cpio.gz

those fastboot lines assume an optimus v (or s.)

looking at all the great work you've posted on the forums, I'm surprised you have trouble handling anything to do with these phones!

I'm slowly working up to a modded recovery to install-to-sd directly and avoid all this hacking.
[Optimus V Android Development] mmarz:
Nice, thanks for that. I had no idea fastboot could do that.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
happy to share.

I only learned fastboot could do that when I seriously started in kernel testing after finally getting one to compile without errors. I didn't feel like bricking my phone to test the fresh kernel, and researching fastboot showed me its capabilities... I could've just typed fastboot with no arguments and that makes it list its parameters. :p

it's really helpful for this mod, because you can just reboot into your stock rom without having to reflash anything.

plus it's nice to just tweak the ramdisk and let fastboot do the work making a new boot.img for you when testing weird stuff like this.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
Very cool i loved this idea when it was executed in a way over at Ubuntdroid for the intercept when i was doing alpha testing. Very convenient for many of the scarier tests when i wanted to keep my existing system intact. The big difference was that on the intercept the bootable partitions were written into the kernel. Downside you couldn't use it to test kernels but could switch kernels from the phone and flip-flop between completely isolated systems on the go without a computer. Which was great when i wanted to test a new ROM on the way to work but i needed my phone when i got there and had to have a painless method of switching to my usual running system. So i'd flash a "non SD" kernel and i was back up and running in just a minute or so.

I'm excited to play with this when i have some free time.

Thanks dude!
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
you could easily use an update.zip for each of the sd-boot and regular phone boot.img files and swap between working systems with those in recovery.

before getting the fast sd card, I was looking at this more as for testing foreign roms than two-system operation, but now I see that would work too.

for a second-system option I was looking at a market-enabled rom on sd since I don't use g-apps on my daily driver.

note: the GB rom I'm running on won't 'see' a card with more than four partitions properly, and won't mount the vfat partition with vold, although you can manually mount and access the first four partitions including the vfat. android just won't admit it's there. and I couldn't get at a fifth partition through the phone os, even though my pc could see it fine (to get 5 partitions I had to use an extended partition to contain most of the virtual partitions)

android could read virtual partitions in an extended partition just fine as long as the total number on the card didn't exceed four.
[Optimus V Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I learned a neat trick today.

going through the init.rc from the stock rom, I noticed a section at the beginning which was labeled 'on emmc' which would imply running from a card if the device hardware lacked nand flash memory.

I'd read on xda while researching this concept of boot-from-sd about an unspecified wait-for-device command in init.rc, but most of the info I've gotten on init scripting language has come from picking apart init scripts, as google has not documented the available commands very well.

long story short, I tried using devwait with the regular init and it worked just fine to mount the ext partitions. yay!

first post edited to reflect the improved method.

I've also been testing a recovery mod. if recovery.fstab is modified in the recovery ramdisk (or a fakeflash recovery) then the recovery will copy a tweaked rom.zip to the ext /system partition with some minimal modifications to the updater-script and a few commands in the adb shell.

the recovery with the modded recovery.fstab can also back up from and restore to the sdcard ext /data and /system partitions.

I will update the first post with more specific instructions as I hammer them into something consistent.

soon I'll be ready to release a modded fakeflash recovery to make experimentation easier, as well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Has anyone that's released a ROM or mirrored a ROM notice a sudden spike in downloads, around 5000-6000 downloads? It's a bit creepy... And I find it hard to believe that people did it. All at the same time on the same day, the chart skyrocketed, then plummeted. Anyone else seen this?

[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
Possibly in some thread somewhere, but I didn't find it so sorry if it's old news.

"... four new Windows Phone 7 handsets running Mango. Acer and ZTE both have models on tap, as does Fujitsu -- which slathered its mobile in pink and gave it a waterproof seal.

The biggest news though was Samsung. Microsoft pulled out what is believed to be the SGH-i937, a version of the Galaxy S II that sports the Redmond mobile OS instead of Android."

For hesitant people like you (and me), someone will cook up a dual boot ROM with Mango and Android 2.3.4 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
There was a time I only wanted to stay with windows phones, since I was used to the way windows mobile 6.1 worked on my artemis and diamond, and figured windows OS would be easiest to co-exist with my PC for file transfers, syncing and general compatibility.

So I almost bought the Omnia 7. I'm so glad I delayed my upgrade and took the plunge with android on the SGS2. Android is excellent and I have no desire now to use windows phones anymore. Not for the time being anyway, and the whole tiles thing with the new WP7 doesn't appeal to me.
[Galaxy S II General] bricky23:
I hated the old windows phones. Slow, lag, so many menus to search through. But I played a little with a windows 7 phone, and I liked it allot. It still has a bit more tweaking to do, but I wish my Evo 3d scrolled as smooth as windows 7. Fast and easy to use. Looks really well done. It is something I will keep my eye on in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] MisterSosa:
Would this open doors for having a WP7 mango running on our beloved SGSII? I am loving the whole metro ui, and simulated a lot with different apps now, but it is not the same. I prefer having two OSes on my mobile instead of having 2 phones. Willing to help DEVS taking on this project

[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I did try WP7 on my HD2 when it first became available, but wasn't impressed. It looked like it had promise but just wasn't delivering at the time. I'd like to see where it's gone now, nearly a year later, so I'd be very interested in trying this out. I'm just not going to hold my breath while waiting for this to ever become available on the S2.
[Galaxy S II General] MisterSosa:
Neither am I, chances are that the more expensive option will be the only one. I keep reading that there is a difference in BT profiles, but I am uncertain that this is a constraint or not?

Hey,

I'm contemplating getting a Sensation in Canada, but I may wait for Rogers to get their new LTE network going before getting a new phone. Would you guys say that the 4G is worth waiting for? Or should I just get the Sensation now?
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Wait...and use the money that's obviously burning a hole in your pocket for more prudent things...such as contributing to your 401k...

Nah, but 4g is ok...I see it as a luxury, if you can afford it and you REALLY want it then sure. But whether or not it's worth is is as simple as thinking about how much you really value a few extra seconds between page loads. With bandwith caps, 4g isn't really all that attractive anymore honestly...
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Something else to think about, just because they launch LTE won't guarantee that they will have the backhaul to make it fast. Most, if not all, of Sprints WiMAX, Verizon's LTE is slower than 3G simply because they don't have the backhaul or capacity yet.

It took T-Mobile 2 more years after launching UMTS to get HSPA+ going. Food for thought.
