LMAO I got a store like that in NYC. Best store, just out of my way (BX and I'm from Queens). I go in there and the latina chicks are FINE as hell. I just flirt with them and they pretty much go above and beyond with any issues (even dated one of the chicks for a while). Now I wish I bought my 3D from a Sprint store.

Now around Queens and Nassau, they're all a bunch of the "really? I don't believe you" types.
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I just returned mine for the same issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

It really seems each Sprint Store bears the imprint of the Manager of that Store and goes from there to the Associates. I have 3 Corporate Sprint Stores within 20 Miles and the only one I am not fond of sadly is the one that is less than 5 Miles from my House.

I am glad that there are many on this Thread where their Store provides excellent Customer Service. Thankfully for those of us with subpar Stores, Calling Sprint can often override their poor Customer Service.

Cheers,

JJ
[HTC EVO 3D] n2ishun:
Sprint ?

I am disappoint.
[HTC EVO 3D] shymog:
I had the random reboot issue on my first Evo3D, and luckily my Sprint corporate store took care of it with no hassles. I'm lucky that my second phone has had zero issues over the past 13 days.

It's a shame to see how different stores adhere to different standards of service.
[HTC EVO 3D] crazyape415:
Did you go to a corporate store or an authorized retailer? The former will do whatever CS supervisors put in the notes, the latter will argue as they can't just give out phones like that.

I had an incident where I was told by CS I would receive a phone upgrade from a flip phone to Sprint's first smartphone aka Instinct (so many issues with 2-3 diff types of phones, all confirmed by sprint technicians) and was told to go to a specific store. It was an authorized retailer and was all in my account notes (the free upgrade and that specific store). The store said no for the same reason i stated in my first paragraph, suggested I call retentions. Being that CS's mistake was in my account's note, retentions fixed the problem. I had to pay for the phone+tax, but was credited that same amount and got a free case and a charger from the store manager.

Sprint CS is top notch, you just have to work with them. Sometimes it means calling back a 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th or.... you get the point. What i do know from sprint is that the retentions department will fix all your problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Ha, unless you have an employee referral plan. Then they don't care, whatsoever.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
It was a corporate store, I avoided the authorized retailers on purpose. I guess customer experience can vary even from corporate store to store.
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
and to take this a step further, its standard practice that a problem has to manifest to get repair work. if you take your car in and say its pulling to the left, and then it doesnt pull left for the tech they wont do anything. if you say your stove isnt heating and then the repair man comes and your stove is working just fine he cant fix anything. if youre computer screen is going blank but when you bring it in to get it repaired it doesnt they dont have anything to fix.

sorry about your luck, but theyll have to recreate the problem for them to fix it. if you think about it from a business standpoint can you imagine how much money a company would lose if they just exchanged phones or performed repairs every time someone complained about something without actually verifying an issue? you can always go through htc, but thatll involve being without the phone for 2-3 weeks and if they cant replicate the problem theyll say the exact same thing
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I would agree, except that the store reps had seen the issue themselves. I had told them I had already tried a full factory reset but they just did the same thing again and then asked me to go to the repair center (if I had anymore problems) where I would have to replicate the problem again and then if it was deemed defective, it would be replaced with a refurb. Trying to replicate a random rebooting problem can be a pain and then replacing the phone with a refurb is completely unacceptable imo, I only bought it a week ago.

Not to forget, within my 30 day period I can just return the phone for pretty much no reason and then just buy the phone again, they should be a bit more lenient within that period.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hydroshock:
If you were a new activation customer, you have 30 days sprint free guarantee. I took advantage of it going back to T-Mobile after having this phone and getting the Sensation instead. I was enticed to Sprint by the $125 port in credit. Sprints customer service was terrible compared to T-Mobile. You can get the sensation from Target for $100 right now :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
assuming you bought it from sprint corporate then the original store should have swapped it out. there is no need to go to a repair center within the first 30 days if they can replicate the problem
[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
Went back to the Sprint store for my 3rd Evo 3d. 1st phone got on launch day, the power button was way too sensitive and would constantly go into menu mode instead of sleep mode, and the reason I went today was because the phone would cut in and out when dialing, and dropped calls so just a reality check I asked them to run a radio check which it failed.

So the CSR got me a new Evo 3D of out of the factory box and did a one for one replacement, including swamping out the 16 gig memory stick. So I was getting ready to walk out and he hands me the box with every thing except the actual old phone itself. So got another charging cable, battery, 8 gig memory stick and a space back cover. He said that they don't care about the accessories, but just the core phone itself. Anyways, that made my day!
[HTC EVO 3D] smarcin:
I went into my Sprint store yesterday because I have had multiple people tell me they can't understand me on my 3D Evo. I got the same treatment as you, except I didn't think about the back cover off of my old 3D. I always go to the same store and ask for the same tech. I couldn't be happier with customer service at "my" Sprint store.
[HTC EVO 3D] duck9191:
Hmmm wonder what kind of store it is, we get crap if the phones don't come back with a battery and back. Only thing we need is the box normally and the phone, if the customer wantsbtye charger and what not its just less to throw away lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Take05:
So today at work (I Work at Best Buy) I was bored and found the media share app. Turned it on and the new Samsung and Sony Smart TV's could pick up my phones music, Movies, and Pictures over WIFI. Which is cool on its own. But I also noticed that the 3D T.V.s could pick up the 3D movies on my phone. So I was streaming avatar in 3D to the Sony TV and watching that for a little bit. The Samsung also recognizes 3d movies you filmed from the 3VO's Camera. Unfortunately It doesn't recognize 3D Pictures, so I'm trying to find a work around for that. But still Pretty cool for Samsung 3d tv's!! (For some reason i couldn't get it to stream the 3VO's 3D film on the sony when it played avatar considering their both mp4 files. I'll mess more with that when I go back, I might just have been in the wrong folder when I tried cus a customer was bugging me :D)

Just a heads up for those interested, I was only streaming a compressed 3d movie. Resolution was formatted to 940X540 i.e. the 3VO's screen. I'm Planning on trying to stream a full size 1080p Movie when I work next. Ill keep anyone whose interested informed on my progress. The only prob is a full size movie is anywhere from 10-18GB depending on length so I also need a bigger SD Card :cool:

I'm Also looking to test on Panasonic 3D TV's because I believe they support more formats than Samsung when it comes to picture formats, but unfortunately my Best Buy doesn't have a 3D Panasonic TV on display so that'll have to come later...
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I think it can push to any DLNA tv
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
yeah, not to detract from your discovery, but that's kinda the point of DLNA.

...regardless, it's still a fantastic feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
So on the miui.us.us latest after installing tiamat kernel everything works great...but do I need to install something like setCPU(which I would like to avoid) to set clock speeds etc etc. I'm pretty sure you do seeing how I can't find it anywhere in settings. I know in roms such as mexdroid and the like new kernels replace "performance settings". So I'm thinking I need to use setCPU.

Thanks for any help given
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I'm not completely sure about that specific kernel, but its a pretty good idea to run SetCPU if your ROM doesn't include CPU settings.

For example, if the kernel you installed OC's up to 1.5ghz or something, you may prefer to run at a lower frequency. SetCPU is probably a good idea. Also, if you want to run at 1.5ghz you're going to need SetCPU profiles for heat and screen off, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Thanks for response. I know all about setCPU, I just don't like it. But yeah looks like that's the only option. Although miui.us seems to be clocked at 1GHz so I think I'll just stick with that.

Thanks again...and tiamat kernel works great on it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Good. Yea I don't like setCPU either. I use the built in controls in CM7. If you're happy with the stock clock speed and don't have issues you won't need to use it.

The more kernels the better :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
LOL, nothing else needs to be said.:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
:)

I also finally figured out how to enable custom boot animation (du'h, Samy uses a different path than default Android for the anim.zip in their bootanimation executable....) and I found a way to replace the boot splash logo, the one before the animation :D (even though this only works when no yellow triangle is shown).

Just have to find a neat and not too messy way to implement my idea, will put both things into the next build then :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
UPDATED to v1.10 :)

Now supports custom bootanim, bootsound and bootlogo!

Also features a totally easy way to apply/install them :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] murdoch1:
Kg3

Any chance of a kg3 kernel..... It sounds really good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Ask, and you shall receive :)

KF1 and KG3 builds posted!

I've got something off-topic, but I presume you're not the same hellcat as the PSP's hellcat? :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cerede2000:
Please add the touchsreen fixe into your kernel ;)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Well, actually.... I am ;)

Found some additional playground for me :D

You got some linkage on the matter for me?

Would be happy to include it :) Just need to know what exactely it is/does as I haven't encountered it so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Took the liberty to make a XXKG6 build - in case some one cares.... ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theredone51:
Great work! Any chance of implementing the BLN kernel-support into the kernel?

https://github.com/creams/Galaxy-S2-liblights-for-BLN
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tomj777:
Thank you - testing on stock KG6 (rooted) : on surface appears good.

I see an error when trying to load Tegrak Overclock (Ultimate) modules ...

Running fix_permissions now

Err - I don't want you to loose the kernel publication here : I don't see sources for your work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Will try. Ew, looks like I gotta set up a full Android build environment for that.... well, well, we shall see :)

You got a link for me to something I can test it with, in case I actually get something compiled from that? ;)

Looks like the same issue as with the CIFS modules.

The CIFS modules needed to be recompiled for new(er) kernels (they didn't run on stock 2.3.4 as well).

You mean the kernel source code?

That's the untouched Samsung source so far, it's been posted lot's of times. :confused:

Everything has been done in the initramfs, and everyone wanting to peek at that can extract it with one of the many zImage extracters also posted around here :)

I am also close to finishing this little tool, just some polishing and hopefully ready to throw it into the wild by tomorrow:

Should also help a bit with getting rid of the yellow triangle (reflashing the custom kernel after having flashed a stock one and such things).

I'll include it into the next kernel version, until then I'll just post it as seperate .apk :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tomj777:
Thanks - CIFS - is that something you plan on doing?

Source - that's my confusion - didn't know - thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Just posted the Companion Tool ("HC-kTool") .apk download and instructions on how to remove the yellow triangle (with help of that tool).

The CIFS modules are already included in the downloads, just copy them to /system/lib/modules or /data/lib/modules and they are loaded on boot and are ready to be used.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SLaRe:
If you make this Kernel overclockable up to 1600 and undervolted with SetCPU and add the BLN support, would be the icing on the cake :)

I'm currently using your KG6 kernel with Criskelo 9 rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Good news: BLN will be in the next version! :D (I just tested it successfully with the free BLN controll app :cool: )

Just have to recompile every build, so might take a day until I have them all ready for upload (boss is expecting me to do some real work :rolleyes: ), but consider it inbound :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] miketwn:
@HellcatDroid your kernel looking good. I especially like your kernel companion app with the efs backup/restore function. Can I make a humble request to include ZSKG2 firmware kernel (hong kong/taiwan, you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k1000716:
You would be better off asking this question in GadgetCheck's CheckRom thread if you want specific advice. It's a little disrespectful asking about other kernels in a dev's kernel thread. ;)

It depends on the features you want, but this kernel works fine and is stable. There are many different kernels so it'd be better if you can figure out what you want (BLN, overclocking, custom boot animations etc) then have a look around.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zvjerka:
nooooooo....no disrespect here.......I want this kernel because i really like look of CheckROM and on his thread is link for this kernel and I read comments of people that I have to download right version of kernel for my device or I will brick my phone if I put rong version of kernel.....I have boke3 on my s2 now and I just dont know which version of kernel to download from first post on this thread to root my phone so I can flash checkROM..... thats all I ask my friend....sorry for possible disrespect from my previous post
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
This one should do fine:

v1.22

XXKI3

(2.3.5): [ DOWNLOAD ]

Ah, no need to worry.

A wrong kernel version will not brick your phone (as long as it's a kernel for the SGS2) ;)

Actually any version will very likely work without any issues.

Though, there is one 100% matching your ROM version, so everything should be finey :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zvjerka:
so I'm on android 2.3.3 and I root my phone via Odin with kernel v1.22 XXKI3 (2.3.5) you gave me link to.

then I can backup my stock t-mobile rom and everything via CWM

I get CWM when I install this kernel

CWM I start it in download mode and after backup I flash CheckROM via Odin....correct?

I also bought jig for possible problems :)

and can I install something after root before flashing to backup my contacts...I dont care about sms but maybe something to backup my progres in all Gameloft games I have on my cell?

major thing is to backup my contacts....titanium backup? I like my backup but trial ended and my backup pro says it is not available in my country via market...so can I fool it somehow or dont talk rubish and use titanium backup (root version) on market? :)

thanx in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] womo:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
*bump*

Still waiting for an answer!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Yeah, you get CWM recovery with this kernel.

You get to it via recovery mode (VOLUP+HOME+POWER).

Titanium backup should work fine for the backups.

IIRC the Contacts app has an option to export and import contacts as well - I'd use both, the contacts export and then Titanium.

THANK YOU A LOT!

I'll make sure to invest in some quallity glasses :D

And glad you like the kernel :)

Still haven't figured it out :o

But init.d support is comming in the next days.

Just need to copy my current test-initramfs over to all other kernel versions and (re)build them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Awesome for init but sucks for tegrak lol

Contact Chainfire... He will help you
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
I shall, yes....

On another thing:

What's common opinion about CWM recovery?

Keep it as 4.0.1.4 for now, or make it 5.0.2.3 already?

Just did a testbuild with 5.0.2.3 and it at least boots properly, going to test the functions now....

// EDIT

I'll build it with CWM 5 for now.... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] isotoper:
I'm using Cognition 1.51 but BLN doesn't work on missed calles (used to work before with Ninph 2.1.3), maybe I have to update the liblight or something ?

(in SMS and whatsapp it works fine) + (I'm using the full BLN app).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
New kernels are cooking in the compiler (v1.24 of all builds made so far).

Changes are

- init.d support

- new kTool v1.10

in kTool the EFS backup has been tweaked a bit, it now makes a .tar backup as well (in addition to the raw .img) and it got a selfdelete/uninstall option.

I also started on writing a "Check EFS Backup" function for kTool, so the backups can be checked for integrity and those things.

But that's not done yet.

Hm, dunno, works fine for me - but I'm on stock Sammy ROM.

Double checked the "BLN for stock apps" option?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] isotoper:
Sure.

But I just forgot to mentioned that I'm using version kh3 of the kernel,because my rom is kh3 based.

Maybe this wasn't ready yet in this kernels version ?

Do you recommend to use the latest version even though my rom is kh3 based ?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arnoldod:
Nice! :)

I'll be waiting for the new version of your kernel before flashing XXKI4.

Are you going to release the kernel using XXKI4 based or you will also release the new version for previous version kernels?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
I'll release v1.24 of my kernel for all FW/ROM versions I built one so far, i.e. all kernel downloads in the first post will be updated to v1.24 - that's why it's taking so long, need to run them all through the compiler but I hope to get them all done tonight :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arnoldod:
Take your time, mate! :) The process will definitely take some time to finish. Just curious... which version of CWM and SU that you will include in the new version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PsychicSaint:
Changing the boot logo...

Dear HellcatDroid, I have changed the boot logo by import logo.jpg on my phone but I'm unable to change it again using a different image... it sticks to the same old imported logo.jpg even if I replace it with a different logo.jpg in the /sdcard/import folder.. Can you please guide me how to do change this?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

never mind... i followed the instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136699 and changed it.. thanks anyways...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
Hm, that bootlogo thing is weird.

I'll try it myself and will investigate - bugs must be fixed! ;)

CWM will be 5.0.2.something, su stays the same.

// EDIT

Hm, weird, just tried the bootlogo thing.

Had a custom one already, saved a new one to /sdcard/import and it did change as expected....

Was the logo.jpg gone from the .../import folder when it didn't work for you?

Maybe just bad filename?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuvinN1:
Working great.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellcatDroid:
So, finally got all new kernels built and uploaded, enjoy :)

I also tinkered a bit more on kTool, the kernels only have v1.10 of it, but there's already a v1.20 :o

Link is in the first post.

kTool since v1.10 now also makes a .TAR backup of the EFS alongside the raw .IMG dump and the .IMG creation has been tweaked a bit.

kTool v1.20 now has an option to CHECK the EFS backup, if it's OK:
