Exactly, You cant expect HTC to give us the "Key" to the city without some sort of stipulation do ya?. Why do you think every developer on here says "I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone". Only difference is you have a much better chance of recovering money or getting a new phone through Sprint / HTC than you would trying to sue a developer on here.

This post wasn't directed at anyone..
[HTC EVO 3D] xcesivemastub8ah:
Yea, engadget is in love with everything Apple and reports everything "anyone else" in bad light. The writter of that article misleads people. HTC said they'll release the unlock soon but under the understanding that due to the freedom you'll have you may void "SOME OR all of you're warranty. As in if you decide to overclock it to 3 and it explodes don't expect them to cover it. And even with bootloaders shipped unlocked its always been like this. You may or may not void some or all of your warranty depending on what you do with that freedom. The update posted by HTC on Facebook was nothing more than a simple reminder. So you won't be like "i installed the app to quadruple the volume because you allowed me to so blowing my speaker should be covered by my warranty.." which people will do/try.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I think that HTC is not doing anything wrong in their official unlock, save for their tracking. At least they are being open about the requirements. Every Rom I have flashed has had a disclaimer of voiding my warranty.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
There is nothing wrong with what HTC is doing.

Also, great development release! (not) Come on. We have a general section. It frankly does not matter if you think it'll be seen more if it's in this section, it doesn't fricking go here. The forum titles are NOT rocket science.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Where did you hear this? That sucks cause I specifically added a third line for 3d and then was going trade it with my evo 4g line.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Actually it is a $100 deductible. I think that's why people would rather unroot and get repair/replace from Sprint tech for free.
[HTC EVO 3D] revoman77:
Fyi... I am not promoting another forum, and do not know if this info is posted here as well but here ya go... I double checked with friends that work at sprint and indeed m&p did change

[HTC EVO 3D] kindakrazy:
Maybe it is just me but I have never had problems going into a sprint store and getting my phone fixed, all I do is unroot and take it in and most the time they will just order me a refurb and because I went to the sprint store I dont have to deal with the deductible.
[HTC EVO 3D] hydrogenman:
When I returned my Evo3D, the chick at the sprint store booted it up into recovery and checked that S=On

she was the store manager and seemed like a nazi about it
[HTC EVO 3D] darkflame:
I have four lines. I use one line, my gf the other and the kids 3 and 4.

The basic rule is I use all the upgrades to get the newest gadgets, they get my handmedowns and I pay the bill :P

When I ordered the Evo 3d, I ordered it on my GF's line (every 5-6 months i'll upgraade)

They sent it unactivated as part of the first to buy deal.

I called up and said I wanted to activate it on line ending in 82. The sprint rep told me the phone was purchased under line ending in 57. I told her I know but I want to activate it under 82 because I use 82 and I only used the 57 line to get the discount but I ultimately use 82 as my main number.

She told me if you transfer the phone from the original line you lose the warranty. You can still use TEP and what not but no warranty.

I argued to my hearts content and she just basically said F-U that's how it is. Take it dry or GTFO. LOL seriously the chick had bigger balls them I did t hat call.

so I tucked my tail between my legs, lowered my head and transferred it anyway and lost my warranty.

I have TEP on all my lines so I could care less but now it seems like there's no point in paying 4$ for a repair plan if I have no warranty??

I gotta look more in to that one.
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
This reminded me of a time when I worked in a Lexus dealership , a guy had just bought a IS300 (some years ago) and brought it in a few months later with almost every speaker blown out in the car . He wanted the dealership to replace the speakers under warranty . After the techs looked over the car they came to the conclusion the speakers were blown from loud music . How they came to that I still dont know but hell thats not the point of this story . The service advisor said "No we cant replace the speakers under warranty due to the fact they have been played at loud volume and were blown do to abuse . The owner came back with "Well you shouldnt have made the volume knob go so high " ROFL . The service advisor responsed with "The speedo is registered to do 100+ mph , would you like us to also pay for your speeding tickets while we are at it ?" God I loved that woman ROFL
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
This was meant for the guy that said "Whats's problem report it lost of stolen and pay the $50 dollar deductible" If lost or stolen and you need a replacement phone you will get charged $100, it is clearly stated for smart phones. I have taken in my phone for repair as well because I always have Sprint tep. But at my local store if they find one spec of evidence that you are rooted they blacklist and the phone can never be repaired under Sprint Tep even if it is sold. Make sure if you are taking the chance on not unrooting know if your local techs are cool or not. Mine weren't.

On the warranty from HTC side I did get more info from Sprint. After hearing this I immediately called Sprint. If you have TEP you don't have to deal with manufacture defects. That is what the TEP is for Sprint will handle it so really not a big deal. I asked if switching my 3d to my main line will void warranty and she said not Sprints. So really this only applies to people not using Sprint TEP and trying to switch numbers.

Also when you upgrade your phone you should activate it first then switch lines. It is a pain in the ass but Sprint is used to "flip flops" on numbers. She probably gave you such a hard time because you wanted to go straight to activation and not "flip flop" which Sprint has done for me many times in the past no problems.

Edit: I would be curious to see if HTC unlock will void Sprint TEP? Pretty sure it would but I would like to hear it from their mouths.
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
Sprint told me they go based upon manufacturers warranty.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomcat420m:
To start With the warranty if you lose it for switching phone to a different line or even a totally unrelated person it's just messed up cause the warranty is for the phone itself, not a warranty on the person. Company's just trying to get out of responsibility for there product.

I would of figured some kind of stipulations for unlocked bootloaders, but I am guessing this is a normal update like any other so does that mean we lose warranty of the bat? It means that every 3d/sensation/future HTC owner's will not have a warranty period. So is there a way they will give option to update or a way to tell if you took advantage of the unlocked bootloaders, so people that don't mess with phone still keep there warranty in tact?

[HTC EVO 3D] M5Rahul:
Although I admit this is HTC's way of covering their butt...err bottomline, there are companies that have been selling unlocked devices with warranties all along.

Anyway, I foresee a bit of an unusual spike in Asurion claims in the near future... :p which might be a good thing since Asurion seems to run out of refurbs rather quickly ....
[Omnia 7 General] Scampy71:
Guys -

Bought an 07 from ebay. It was advertised as unlocked, a 16Gb model "from expansys". That was in the advert.

I've got it and I'm pretty happy with it. But the phone is quite clearly targetted at the German market, and starts up with a T-Mobile logo. It has a bunch of German-only applications, and IE defaults to a German search site. None of it really stops me from using the phone, so I'm not really complaining.

But is the "from expansys" bit a load of **** and bull, or did they genuinely sell models that were for the german market? I suspect it was a phone bought from TMobile in DE and then unlocked and sold on. Which is a little bit naughty really.

These are my numbers, are they current NoDo?

OS: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware: 2424.11.2.3

Hardware: 3.15.0.4

Radio software: 2424.11.2.2

Radio hardware: 0.0.0.800

Bootloader: 5.2.1.4

Chip SOC: 0.36.2.0

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] BiG K:
These were sold on Amazon.DE for £170 I believe........
[Omnia 7 General] Scampy71:
Hmm, that's a little irritating if true. Were they sold on Amazon.DE as unlocked?
[Omnia 7 General] Purple11:
I bought my 16 GB Samsung Omnia 7 from expansys-usa.com and it is from Germany.. it came with a german user manual... But mine dosent start with a T mobile logo like yours.. neither did I had any preloaded german application...

You can make sure yours is from germany by checking 'samsung network profile'.... if the list has a lot of profile ending with '.de' than its from germany..

i dont know what i should call my mobile? unbranded factory unlocked phone? i dont think its factory unlocked, i think expansys unlocked it before shipping it to me, because the seal was broken.. but neither does it start with Tmobile logo like yours so it is 'unbranded' i am sure....
[Omnia 7 General] D1sguise:
Bought mine from ebay as well (German seller) and it too has the IE as default with the T-Mobile branding, but since that was advertised (and doesn't bother me at all) I have no problem with it. I think after Mango is released, none of your problems will stay unsolved (windows phone will be more open, maybe more customizable as well)
[Omnia 7 General] skycamefalling:
No, that's alright. T-Mobile in Germany doesn't lock their phones.

So you have an factory unlocked but branded phone.

I'd recommend to just flash the unbranded generic Firmware for your area. Then you'll receive all updates without having carriers mess with them.
[Omnia 7 General] Scampy71:
Thanks everyone, all interesting stuff. As I said, doesn't bother me too much at all (well maybe apart from IE using a German search engine, which is a trifle annoying).

Any downsides to flashing with a UK unbranded firmware? Losing data/apps?
[Omnia 7 General] VonCrisp:
All the 16GB models in Germany came with the T-Mobile branding when they were first released.

This might have changed by now but when it was first released it was not possible getting one without the branding. No matter from which shop you bought it all of the inventory was branded. You can always get it flashed! Unofficially or officially.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
My Mt15i world generic still has no update available.

Anyone with Xperia Neo and has got update?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Updates aren't available over the air or in PC Companion. If you don't mind losing all your user data (SD card = safe) you can update with Wotanserver. I flashed Generic Germany on my Neo and it is wonderful!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
Do you need unlocked bootloader for WotanClient use?

EDIT: Found the answer, which is "do not update with unlocked bootloader"

I always liked German language.

France has the update too.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
That worked fine over Wotanclient. New phone setup is already awesome :)

Seems Neo did not got zoom for camera.

But it seems to have formatted my SDcard as well. I had ext2 and swap partitions and only 6,30 GB of normal Fat partition. Now back to 7,40. I actually was looking for a way to get rid of the ext2 partition on it...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Zoom works fine on my Neo. Try the volume keys in the camera app. It's not real zoom though, just a crop.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
Works indeed.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babygau:
new firmware for neo is also available, credit goes to thread owner.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
Anyone noticed world generic as available over SEUS, PC companion?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ghileman:
I'm looking for a way to play both Spotify from my SGS2 through my Onkyo AV receiver to my speakers, as well as just play videos from my SGS2 through the Onkyo so that I can watch videos from sites like charlierose.com (which uses flowplayer), etc. on my TV.

Should this work? Anyone received their cable from play.com sooner than expected? Hoping it doesn't take the 1-2 weeks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mermaidkiller:
And what about this cable ?

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ca-156-usb-hdmi-adapter-cable-for-nokia-53688

It is for Nokia but Nokia also supports MHL so I assume it can be used for the Galxy S2 ??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
That doesn't look like a MHL cable to me; the small end should have a 5-pin micro USB, and the MHL-to-HDMI conversion requires a bridge chip, which needs to be powered, which is why the other MHL adapters require you to plug in a charger.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Techvir:
it does not work . I have seen that it does not work being mentioned at many places

one eg:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14433957&postcount=30

edit : also its a usb host cable for nokia and not for samsung
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rbimdxe:
its actually not a usb cable at all.

its a second cable packaged with the n8 that plugs into a mini-hdmi port on the top of the phone converting it to a regular size hdmi socket to connect to a screen..

still useless for the sgs2 :(

Let's say i have gignerDX5 installed and want to update to v6. Do I have to backup all my apps and data (sms, phonebook) again?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corsav6:
Simple answer is no, you can just upgrade and it will keep all user data.

You should however make a backup in Xrecovery just in case something goes wrong, if all goes well then either move the backup to PC for later or just delete.

I updated from Froyobread to GingerDX and still kept my data and apps.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svobino:
I make somethimes fullfactory in Xrecovery,if I switched to new room.It´s not bat to make back up in Xrec.of old room.It´s your game,wher you have back up.I use Titanum backup pro and my acount for phonebook and calendar.I do´nt need anything else for change the room.

Hi...

I have a question, and I didn't wanna create new thread, cuz its related to title :D

When I flash a new rom, its recommended to do a Full Wipe... Do I have to do that before or after flashing a Rom? :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
You don't need to do a full wipe when you update GingerDX. Just install it and reboot. I didn't have any bugs by not making a full wipe.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zvorkapic.os:
If you're coming from 2.1 to DX do a wipe, I tried first time yesterday installing rom and got stuck on cyanogen mod boot screen. Did a wipe, reinstaled and worked.

So do wipe if coming from other rom :)
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Alright, I am throwing this here.

For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.

Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.

I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.

My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Nope. Still 5 minutes. At least my Adw home replacement is working correctly now.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Try sending a text with wifi and post the results
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I run on wifi at home. Still the same results.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
And I downloaded handcent again, but its still doing the same thing. I lost swype again, but I downloaded SlideIT.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
And this popped up right away.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Hmm thats crazy I'd flash back to stock and get a replacement
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
LOL

Now how do I safely back track to default? flash stock then unroot? do we have the stock programming on the forums?
[LG Revolution] stbbrat:
I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.

But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Sounds so easy. LOL
[LG Revolution] squidder:
I will help you. Did u make a nandroid backup before flashing the cubed rom?
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
No. I just flashed it.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Ok bud in the future always make sure u do a backup in case something like this happens. Ill be off work in a few hours and we will get you up and running man
[LG Revolution] squidder:
And where exactly are you stuck
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
He's fixed up now. Thanks for offering the help!
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I started getting the double received messages with handcent for some reason. I just recently had changed to gosms, and now use stock and no more doubles with either.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
Agh! You wound me! Goof. :)

At least you won't be stuck with one of those Cricket PAYGO phones. Lol
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Ok great glad your up and running bud. I believe the handcent issue is when the person texting u has the callback number enabled. As I get this too when someone who has callback enabled texts me. If that's not what it is then I have no idea
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Lol. That is very true. Watch out, for those bossy women.

I am running adw and now that it works, I am pretty happy. Can I download go sms, and muck with the settings and just never touch it again. By the way MT, I am digging swype.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
See with the stock I get the keyboard pop up . With handcent no keyboard pop up, but double messages.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I got go sms. I love you all. if you all get different phones I am gonna be mad.
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Loooool u crack me up. I myself am only keeping this phone till the galaxy s2 comes out
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I am a fan if this phone. After some clean up it will rock!
[LG Revolution] squidder:
Yes I agree. But I can't keep it unless a rom is released that fixes the horrid battery life. Hopefully when cubed gets cm7 up and running it will help a lot.
