[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
In the past 2 months I've had a rough experience with sprint.

In June, My BB Curve 8530 stopped working, the sprint store gave me a 9330 (not asurion)

Then the 9330 failed on me 3 weeks later (display went white) so I activated my old HTC hero which then had a problem connecting to the network. I took the Hero in and got a refurb one from the sprint store(not asurion)

Recently my brother got me a used evo in the local classifieds and the power button was kinda mushy so I took it in thinking it was an easy fix but then they told me it had to be replaced and gave me a brand new evo.

Is there a limit to replacements from the sprint store? I know theres a limit on Asurion of 3 a years. but I've never filed a claim with them.

also they have kept ALL the faulty phones. I don't stack them for sale or anything.

Reason I'm asking is that my brother is concerned about having the next repair denied due to them thinking I'm trying to pull off some insurance fraud.

as long as it is a phone defect and not physical damage, they can exchange it as many times they think is prudent. after the 3rd the store can offer you an exchange to another phone model. But that is at the discretion of the store managers.
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
To thlinx, I expected more from you reading up on some of your comments on another thread,I did a google search and I only found information on asurions part which I already knew. I asked about the replacements by sprint due to common failure instead of user/water damage which is what asurion handles.

the time you took to go to ltmgtfy and tinyurl, could have been used to help someone with a useful post instead of being a troll. "Omg He post linkz to lmgtf he so cool@! haha u gots rik rolled loloolol" -,-

hypeo I appreciate your answer.

Since on 3 ocasions it has been a different phone(different model on my part) i think im cool,just hope for better luck with them. I really hate wasting hours at the sprint store without service.
[EVO 4G General] Stuke00:
No but if you get 4 or 5 replacements within 6 months you can get a new device of equal or lesser value.. or ***** to the BBB for an upgrade reset or something
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
My upgrade is due on september...going to wait until november to switch phones, dont like the evo 3d that much and the photon along with the sgs 2 are coming soon.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
ha u should of clicked the link. Do you have the full replacement plan? That link is about that TOS. Meaning you probably are fine replacing your phones due to damage or malfuction as long as you are on the replacement program..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
makes it so much nicer.

anyways.. just changed .png's ... all of them.. hdpi and mdpi, tested at 210&160, everything seems fine including widget.

so there it is enjoy, dont forget to comment and hit thanks

Let me know what else you might like to see themed.

:cool:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
Can u theme the lock screen?

Sent from the Unstoppable SuperStreak!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
probably, its all in framework-res.

what do you want the honeycomb lockscreen? try ripple lock in the market. Its not too bad actually, except his lock icon is b0rked, cut off at the top.

what did you have in mind?

post a link..

edit: who uses a lock screen? just kidding, I have NoLock, I love it.

but really, I have the honeycomb font on my lockscreen using fontchanger, and custom sliders and tabs made with UOT Kitchen. Thats all I can do for themeing.

If you want a different stlye lockscreen that would have to coded/ported. I would say try lockscreen widget etc. or use NoLock.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
Whatever u have for ur lockscreen would be fine.

Sent from the Unstoppable SuperStreak!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
:D

I have NoLock, free in market..

just kidding, be back soon

here's my lockscreen..

the jog tabs and circles are in framework-res, so let me know what ROM you're running, and I could drop them into a stock ROM, you can get the ones I have on UOT Kitchen. Or if you have a custom framework-res, and want soemthing different you would have to upload yours and let me know what you have in mind. Font can be easily changed with fontchanger, just change clocktopia, I can up load th HCfont if you cant find it.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] borijess:
I have 1.9.1. How did u get the dell logo as wallpaper. I will have to gobto uot cause I have a custom framework.

Sent from the Unstoppable SuperStreak!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] TheManii:
It's prob just a standard wallpaper, you can prob just rip it right out of the package and just select it like any other wallpaper

Edit: actually it's not included, you could ask him to post the orig if you wanna use it
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
found it buried in google images

here you go:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
Wallpaper cropped for portrait. More here
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jitin02:
I tried UOT kitchen, but the lockscreen tweaks seems to change only the sliders , cant get the others to work

are u able to do it?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
what are you trying to change the circle icons inside the jog tabs? choose lockscreen icons in kitchen.. but there is only about 4 currently.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Geezus_Christ:
have you tried to theme the Stock Sms app?

having a nice dark blue Honeycomb like theme would be pretty nice.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
sure I'll try messaging, I didn't think anyone used stock messaging ;)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Thanks! What else can you theme then? It would be cool to be able to mess with Google Voice messaging and Google Talk... Theme it in color sets. :cool:

The UOT is so nice to use, but I'm not sure how you are doing the system files. I know that there is some write ups re setting Phone and Contacts.apk as transparent. Haven't gotten that to work on Streak 5 yet though. Seems to be Nexus specific.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
after messing with white menu text all day, no luck.. long story, anyways next I will do a HC Messaging app and try to update my HC Framework.

I dont use Google Voice or GTalk much, so not likely from me.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Geezus_Christ:
Good luck, I know you can do it. Been doing a nice job already :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] speedy1979:
I am curious to know how well the silicone cases conduct heat and have they caused anyone here problems.

I ask because when I use mobile hotspot function the phone can get pretty warm and since the charge has a plastic battery door unlike my previous phone the Samsung captivate which had a metal door the charge will have two barriers to heat dissipation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
i have the incipio sylicrylic case (silicone + plastic cover) and while i never tether, i've used data intensive apps like netflix and it does make the phone a little warm; however, it feels about the same temperature that it would normally feel if I didn't have a case on it and was watching netflix. Therefore, I don't think a silicone case would cook your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
I've used the basic silicone case from Verizon for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
I've had the Otterbox and Trident on mine. No excessive heat issues with either.

One of the women at work has a pink silicon case on her Charge, and she had one instance of the phone getting extremely hot while charging. Only happened once and hasn't happened since. :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
A silicone case will not cook your phone. There's a reason so many cases use the material.
[Verizon Droid Charge] speedy1979:
Believe the reason so many cases use silicone is because it an excellent shock absorber and it economical. But silicone is also an excellent insulator hence silicone oven mitts. Admittedly I don't know if the chemical composition of the silicone oven mitts and the phone cases are the same.

I must also admit that the Droid Charge doesn't get quite as hot as my Samsung Captivate would get after an hour of tethering.

hi every body my i9003 is flashed with xxkb3 rom rooted , my problem is : my phone go off usually by it self so i have to turn it on again, it happened few times but i don't know the source of this problem any idea ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip007in:
Try reflashing. I hope its a typo and you meant xxkb3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stpsp:
(yes i meant xxkb3) i reflashed my phone but it didn't solve it !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip007in:
None of us have SOD problem with this FW. May be u can just try with your original stock FW, if available for flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Flash twice just to be on the safe side.

And yeah, As Tripin said, No one's received this SOD issue in XXKB3. Unless you said XXKp9, then i can vouch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fooman123:
my xxkb3 has shut itself off before, maybe happens about once a month or so..

It is not SOD (where phone appears to be off) -- but really off -- from doing research a while back, I discovered that it is known issue on 2.2.

For me it is minor annoyance -- no more.

[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Cog 1.20, SGS2, Three network, full dalvick, /sdcard, /external_SD, /data and cache wipe from CWM.

When the screen timeout (in android settings) triggers,all processes are stopped (not suspended, stopped). You can reproduce this by going into say, a file explorer and try to zip up a very large folder, such as the gameloft folder if you have their games (I use ES file explorer). Or you can launch a download in Dolphin browser. Then wait for the screen to timeout.

Once the screen as timed out, wake the phone, and you'll find:

- any zipping operation has abruptly been stopped (in my case the .tmp file is even left behind, proving it's not even a clean exit)

- all downloads are stopped

So, my question is, short of having to set the screen display timeout at 10 minutes, is there a way around this? Or is this a 'feature'?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
I read similar yesterday search that post it might have been answered .

[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Unfortunately no, the other message was about wifi and interrupted downloads. I'm talking about processes here, not just download, including zipping a file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
I started using adw launcher ex and widgetlocker last night (good thing I couldn't sleep :D) and am loving them to bits and pieces. one thing, though...

the home screen redraw thing is starting to get on my nerves. it's not so bad when using the home key to jump to the home screen, since I back out using the back key (close the app, save the ram), but even if I let it sleep long enough, it'll lag on redraw when I unlock it -_-

I've seen a fix on the internet that looks tempting but it requires that i root my phone; call me a coward, but my ill-experiences with this sort of thing have left me with no intention of doing so in the near future. any other solutions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
hellloooooo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
Well, I have this problem too sometimes. A reboot could help, and it just disappears for me after a while...

Then again, if it doesn't work and you want to root your phone, you could always post here. I'm sure you'll be helped quickly.

One last thing: Do you have a link to the video? Might be helpful later on :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
for now, disabling and uninstalling widget locker (:() has solved the problem. but then, the problem practically wasn't there when i first installed, so i wouldn't consider this case closed just yet

and i know i'll find help with rooting at xda, it's just that if i can brick my phone simply updating the firmware, who knows what i'll do while rooting? plus, there's still 2 months in my warranty, so if i ever decide to root, i'll let the warranty run out first

as for the fix, it wasn't really a video. search the forum (not the samsung galaxy s one) and you'll find it. but in any case, i have the link right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932820

if you've rooted your phone, this fix is apparently guaranteed to fix (lol) the problem, which is why it's so tempting
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
How did you try to upgrade your phone? Because, when I tried to do it with KIES, I bricked it too. Now, with ODIN, I don't worry about that anymore, once you know, it's easy.

Anyhow, thanks for the link.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
flashing; relax, the mistakes were mine

and you're welcome

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
i'm happy to report no problems in the hours since i deleted widget locker

but who knows when redraw lag will rear it's ugly head again? i'll wake this thread back up if that happens
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PondaRox:
by the way, i have another question, might as well ask it right here

have you had your phone just randomly restart while using adw launcher? because this morning, when i woke up, i heard that sound that plays when you plug your phone into the charger (i left it on there in the middle of the night). i figure it might have been a random reboot, but will take any other theory (heck, i'd LOVE to. i thought i was through with my phone randomly rebooting -_-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
Ummm... I never had that with ADW.

However, some ROMs do have problems with random reboots.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
SOLVED: when having trouble with your computer not making a good connection to the phone, try your USB HUB on the mother board. it totally fixed my problem!

So here it is. I received a cappy from a buddy at work.

Basically, she is running cognition (FROYO BASED) rom, not sure of the kernal, and Cwm.

i can get the phone to reboot into RED CWM recovery, and even into DOWNload mode.

The phone was shut off during a factory reset. the battery died.

(IDK the girl was a dumbass and did it from settings on the phone not in CWM :eek:)

The phone will boot, ONLY after a factory reset from CWM but the setup google accs f/c's and the only thing i can get it to do is volume up/down pull the notification bar down and power off recovey dl mode...ect ect.

Task manager say's there are no APPS installed on the phone running? yet when i go LVL 2 RAM clear, the phone says 13 apps closed..:confused:

I think the Stock APK's have been deleted, since i cannot get into menu at all.

Since she factory reset the phone, and wiped the SD CARD, ALL CWM recoveries she created are GONE.:mad:

I have Cleared the cache, and wiped dalvik code, fixed permissions.....

I'm very familiar with the VIBRANTS, not the cappy's so this is a challenge to me.

my Vibrant has connected with all the usb drivers from samsung, but the cappy cannot. I've even downloaded the drivers for just the CAPPY, uninstalled all others, and Still not recognized, yet my vibrant does?

i've installed i think every driver on here for captivates, kies downloads, even went to the samsung website and Downloaded from there.

STILL NOT CONNECTING.

Even DL'd the AIO cappy toolbox (very nice to have for my VIBRANT)

Still no avail.

THE PHONE CANNOT MOUNT THE EX SD CARD. So that idea's out.

all my drivers are correct for the 32 bit vista OS. even tried on my GF's 64 Windows 7.

Still no avail.

I've installed the drivers with the phone in DOWNLOAD mode even, still not connecting.

Rebooted the computer after removing and also reinstalling drivers.

Changed between 3 diff cords, all work for my VIBRANT,

still no avail.:confused:

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
First, see if you can find out which version of Cognition she was running (Gingerbread- or Froyo-based).

Once you have that information, I believe you should be able to download the appropriate ROM on you computer and copy it to the microSD card (adapter or whatever method you need to do to get it there). Since you can get into CWM recovery, you could try flashing the ROM from there. Assuming it's a full wipe rom (and you're not concerned about keeping apps installed on the phone), it should reset things to a more workable state. (If you are worried about apps remaining... I don't know what to say at this point, since you can't get to Tibu.)

If that doesn't work, you could try the one-click back to stock (realizing that you're having connectivity issues, I'll get to that in a second).

When you connect the phone in download mode to ODIN, does the yellow COM:# show up?

If you have tried ODIN on your Vista computer, try running ODIN as Administrator.

I've had some luck in the past getting the phone to be recognized (assuming Froyo) by doing this:

1. With nothing connected to computer, start ODIN (one-click to stock would be good).

2. Pull battery on phone.

3. Reinsert battery, but do not power on.

4. Hold Vol+/Vol-/, and insert USB cable.

5. Wait for it to kick into download mode, release buttons, and wait again.

6. See if ODIN recognizes it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
Thats my problem, the cappy does not see that there's an EX SD card there at all? says no files, but i've tried to push a cognition rom to the EX SD and use CWM to flash it to get it to boot, but the phone cannot see that there's an EX SD, but the SD card is fine, even my vibrant used it..

ODIN as ADMIN? tried that and nothing, still no yellow com port,

i know how to use odin, as my VIBE has been "Bricked" a few times lol

the vol up/down button combo does nothing, just shows up as a charging screen, the only way i can get the phone to download mode is through CWM.

the phone is running a FROYO based cognition ROM. or that's what her bf put on there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
This may sound stupid and simple but is the device set on mass storage from the settings menu? If you know.

Also have you tried mounting your sd cards in CWM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
lol THATS MY PROBLEM> the phone thinks it boots normally, but i cannot get the settings menu. like the "SETTINGS APK" file was deleted when she formatted the SD!

but i was just playing around and i got google voice search to pop up!

then from there i used my WIFI and setup the google settings, then i went to the market grabbed CWM and used the cognition rom i've already downloaded, and used it!

then the GREEN CWM booted, and it still cannot MOUNT EX SD card. so the flash failed.. HMMMMMM

As of now i am gonna go into the rom i DLed (cognition) and try to DL Root explorer and hard push the Settings.apk file to the system. HOPEFULLY from there i can get my settings back to restore the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Realizing that it's a long shot at best due to connectivity issues, have you tried using ADB?

If so, you could push the ROM you need to the internal SD.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
so, used root explorer to move the NEW cognition froyo rom from the EXternal SD to the INTERNAL SD. from there i used CWM recovery to flash the rom, the rom flash was successful, but now the phone is stuck in bootloop on the AT&T world phone screen.

and CWM will not LOAD. FML

Looks like i'm gonna have to take this apart and get to the internal SD card. =/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Can you get to CWM with the Vol+/Vol-/Power combo - hold those past one AT&T screen and when you see the second one, let go?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
Adb was not an option at that point, the phone couldn't recognize it even had a phone attached to it.

but now that i'm stuck in bootloop and with no CWM recovery OR DL MODE, yeah the jig isnt' workin... HAHA

i guess its just a paperweight now.. Owell, i tried.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
i held it for about 3 mins... lol and the jig i got for my VIBRANT isn't workin either. I didnt know these phone's can lose the 3 button combo reset? i often flash I9000 roms to my vibe, thats why i have a jig, but i didnt think cappy's would do that unless i flashed an i9000 rom to it? lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Just because I'm not sure if you tried it - have you tried plugging the cable into a different port on your computer? If it's not one directly connected to the motherboard, that can sometimes cause problems getting the phone to be recognized.

Also - does the phone show any signs of recognizing there is a cable inserted (like charging)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
tried every port. No the phone only acts as if it wants to display the batt charging symbol, but does not show, I cant believe it, i actually think i bricked a galaxy s.. haha
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Another long shot, but you could try the One-click unbrick. Since it's Heimdall-based, there's always a chance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
Wow, didnt know that even existed. Definately gonna be useful for my Vibrant, haha i'll give it a shot.. THANKS, i'll report back after i try it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I hope it does something. With the connectivity issues you're seeing it's starting to sound a little like hardware issues.

I'm going to throw out a checklist of stuff, knowing that you are already experienced with ODIN and ROM flashing, simply because I know I usually can use some sort of checklist to make sure I've caught everything.

- Redownloading/reinstalling drivers, rebooting before connecting phone

- Redownloading/reinstalling ODIN package

- Redownloading ROM to flash

- Hold V+/V-, inserting USB cable

- Remove battery, hold V+/V-, insert USB, insert battery

- Hold V+/V-/HOME softkey

- Hold V+/V-/HOME/Power

- If download mode reached, allowing phone to sit connected for long time

- If download mode reached, connecting phone after opening ODIN

- If download mode reached, connecting phone before opening ODIN

- If download mode reached, connecting phone after ODIN, disconnecting, reconnecting phone

That's all I can think of for a checklist of stuff to try/retry.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PelvicThunder:
I appreciate the help but i've tried all of those options several times, The jig did work to get it into DL mode, but from there i'm still in the same **** position, my computer will not recognize that the phone is connected.

Is it possible that the phone somehow lost its drivers? what i mean by that is, the phone acts different with different USB ports, completely.

On one port it says unknown device, another USB android composite device.

Its as if the phone's changing as i change ports. Very FRUSTRATING!

i think it could be a hardware issue myself, but how could a corrupt drive work so well? To the T every time i've used the jig DL mode fired up, but my computer still cannot find the drivers to run it. Hell i've even tried using winusb drivers package to force install the phone, still no avail.

Like i said, I really appreciate the input, I figured if i couldnt figure it out, someone on here had some EXP in doing this lol i've just never had a driver problem give me so much trouble. IDK, bout ready to turn this paper weight into a pile of ash.
