[HTC Inspire 4G] jadeus0831:
Well I encountered a really bad bug that could only of been fixed I assume by having to wipe complelety the stock Rom but being stock still was a clueless process. I bit the bullet and decided to install the 2.3.3 GB manually since I have yet to receive the OTA. The RUU did the trick...I'm happy and pissed for that endevour.

I got this Surround from one of my client who went to a local phone servicing centre and ended up buying like 3 sd cards . The point is the curropted cards could not be found on my Win7 pc normally as well as using mini partition tool on my EVO , Desire HD , etc .

Finally read some where about accessing the file on Nokia , there i went putting it on a Nokia Express music and VIOLA .. i could format it ...

Just starting this thread for people to know about it ...:)

[Thunderbolt Accessories] want a droid:
After receiving my Seidio multi-function battery charger and spare battery and doing a bit of testing, here is a little review/data for anyone interested.

The actual charger isn't too big. It comes in two pieces (the main charger and the charging plate to fit the HTC Thunderbolt battery). After charging multiple batteries consistently the charger doesn't feel warm in the least bit.

My main goal though was to see how the charge time was. Here is some data:

Battery when charging began: 63%

Time elapsed: 1h 55m

Battery after elapsed time: 95%

+1%/~every 3.6 minutes

Battery when charging began: 74%

Time elapsed: 1h 35m

Battery after elapsed time: 96%

+1%/~every 4.3 minutes

Battery when charging began: 76%

Time elapsed: 1h 35m

Battery after elapsed time: 94%

+1%/~every 5.3 minutes

With the stock charger I get +1%/~every 1.3 minutes.

So overall it takes a good bit of time for the charger to charge the battery, but due to its size and cheap price I'm going to hold on to it. I'd much rather charge two batteries overnight then go the following day with swapping them rather than using the HTC extended battery.

And here are some pictures:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmlinuxz:
I saw that the XDA team had rooted the new software, so I went ahead and did an upgrade via my PC instead of over the air. Now that I've started researching the root methods it looks like all of them void your warranty, so if your phone dies (and lets be honest phones do die often on their own accord), you will be stuck buying a brand new phone.

I like the new software, but there are tools I use that need root such as titanium backup, and settings profiles (for gps scripting). Will there ever be a root going forward that won't break your warranty?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
no, the act of rooting voids your warranty not the method. How hard motorola actually tries to determine if your phone is rooted is another matter though especially if something is making your phone disfunctional.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun3vi1:
Warranty is not a tangible item that is "broken." It is a legal agreement. By rooting your phone, you are exposing the delicate inner workings to possible breaking. However, since the manufacturer doesn't see what happens to the phone and it stops working, you can generally at least partially restore it, hiding the fact it was rooted. Is your warranty still void? Technically yes. However, the manufacturer doesnt know. Further, Although it is possible to break your phone, you will never have any trouble as long as you follow these guidelines:

- Avoid rooting phones with the OTA 2.3.4

- DO NOT FLASH SBF TO OTA 2.3.4 ATRIX. IT WILL BREAK FOR GOOD

- Read all instructions

- Make sure all mods are for YOUR specific version of the OS

- Backup with CWM before every mod.

- Lastly, insure that the phone battery is fully charged before doing any flashing. This will avoid the possibility that your phone will get bricked and then run out if battery b4 u can fix it (bricked phones do not charge).

- Aside from that, as long as u do not have OTA gingerbread 2.3.4 on your phone, don't freak out if u brick your phone. I have done it 9 times in the past month and everytime managed to restore it with RSD Lite.

Finally: IF YOU DON'T HAVE GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 OTA DO NOT UPGRADE VIA THE OTA UPDATE. USE THE FRUIT CAKE METHOD OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE NEXT TIME THAT YOU ROOT/UNLOCK IT.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmlinuxz:
Excellent replies. That makes sense, I just didn't realize it was a legal issue more than technical.

Another quick question. If I used the Motorola PC upgrade to 2.3.4 is it still considered an OTA update since I downloaded the stock from Motorola and upgraded it via PC?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Huh? you can root just fine with the OTA 2.3.4 using the preinstall method. Works perfectly. If you OTA'd to 2.3.4 you don't ever want to attempt to flash back down to a previous version. You can still root and unlock the phone even with OTA 2.3.4.

The only thing that using the OTA breaks is being able to SBF to previous builds. But you can still use pudding to unlock and use other roms including froyo ones with pudding built in.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexxusty:
I highly doubt it is illegal to root. Where did you hear this?

Google doesn't charge to license Android, and it's their license, AFAIK individual companies cannot do what they want with this license. It remains open source software that anyone can develop for. It's based on Linux/Unix.

Does anyone here even know what rooting does? It is the act of re-enabling the Superuser. A right EVERY Linux distribution should have. Phone or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontremember:
Sun3vi1 said "the warranty is a legal agreement". It says that if your phone breaks within a certain period of time they'll replace it, *provided* you haven't modified it in any way. Rooting may or may not be legal in your jurisdiction, but either way it voids the warranty by modifying the phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heilpern:
If you only root in a method that allows you to unroot easily enough, there's no problem. Since rooting is not a particularly invasive set of changes, unrooting should not be difficult.

[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
If I buy an unlocked version for AT&T where is the best place to buy one? I would want one with a warranty first and foremost. Also, is the home button one that goes out easily? Will the phone run as fast as the one that will come out on AT&T officially? I wouldn't want to spend a ton of money on an unlocked one to find out it's slower than the one that AT&T puts out for hundreds of dollars cheaper.

Next is what about warranty. How safe am I buying unlocked? I have read a lot on this board about yellow stains and stuck pixels. How common are these to get? I don't want to buy a phone that's so much money to be stuck with these problems.

Thanks all

AJ
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Expansys-USA provides warranty support for phones they sell meaning they'll ship it back to the UK if it needs service. If you buy it from an authorized dealer in the U.K. it's covered by Samsung's two-year global warranty. Regardless, count on being without your phone for a couple of weeks if it needs repair. If you're looking for the safety and security of a direct replacement overnighted from your carrier and loss/theft coverage importing a phone probably isn't for you.

It seems sturdy and I don't think there were problems with the SGS1 which utilized a home button also.

Unless the AT&T version has an upgraded processor then it wouldn't be any faster. T-Mobile is getting a version with the same Qualcomm chip as the Sensation which hasn't benchmarked well. The leaked pics of Sprint's version appears to be a real SGS2. Nothing specific's been posted about AT&T's version so it could be a 4.3" display with an Exynos chip or a 4.5" display with a Qualcomm chip. They just announced there first LTE phone won't be out until the end of the year and code for AT&T's LTE network was found in one of the latest ROMs. This means their SGS2 might not come out for a while or they'll be releasing it sooner as an HSPA+ phone vs. an LTE phone.

There have been some QC issues with the screen and some variances in color temperature from device to device. If you but if from Expansys exchanging it would be fairly simple. If you buy it in the UK it'll cost you shipping. Stay away from Handtec, they were hassling people on display related exchanges.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
You have been very helpful my friend. What would you do? Would you wait for AT&T? Or would you buy unlocked? I have also heard a rumor that AT&T is going to go with the 4.5 inch screen size is that true?

What about Newegg? Are they any good?

Thank you for your time.

AJ
[Galaxy S II General] Disfected:
Newegg doesn't give you a warranty with the phone and I also seen a lot of people saying it comes without a seal if that means anything.
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
I would get international version for faster updates or bug fixes. You get to have SGS2 before many people. :)
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Also, is HSPA+ phone as fast as the LTE phone? Will I even notice that big of a difference?
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
So newegg is a no go. I checked out Expansys-US and it looks legit.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
LTE only matters if you plan on keeping the phone for a long time. AT&T's only going to have 15 markets up this year. If you get an international phone you can get fake-4G for $10 a month. LTE, while faster, is $30 for 2GB of data and $10 per GB beyond that. And you can't tether at that price. I stream video and tether a tablet and have had no speed issues and I'm in a 3G market.

You sound really paranoid about getting an international phone. You need to think hard about the downside.

- Warranty work will easily take weeks.

- You can buy accident insurance from SquareTrade for $94 for two years but you can't get theft/loss protection.

- If there are QC defects out of the box it'll be a pain to exchange the phone.

The upside is you can get cheap unlimited data (via AT&T), upgrades directly from Samsung, and there's no carrier molestation with crap added or functions stripped out.

Personally, if AT&T gets the same phone T-Mobile is (4.5" display/Qualcomm chip), I'd skip it. Without the Exynos chip the 4.5" phone is an SGS2 for marketing purposes only.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Not paranoid just getting all of the facts. Is the att version going to be 4.5?
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Nobody knows yet...
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
Why don't you just buy from Amazon? I did today and it will be here tomorrow...

[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
+1 that's what I did and it shipped extremely fast :)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
No warranty. Also, their phones have been sourced from some strange places including Russia. If you're going to mod the phone than where it's from is less important.
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
So do any models actually have a real US warranty? (I.e. Not the Expansys deal).

I didn't think Samsung offers any US warranty coverage since the GSII hasn't been produced for the US.

I saw the "International Warranty" model on Amazon but no one can prove it's actually warranted...they just assume it's covered in the US.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If you send a phone to Samsung for repair they'll ask for a copy of the invoice and possibly a credit card statement if they're suspicious about the authenticity of the invoice. Any phone purchased outside it's intended market of sale is considered grey market and therefore has no warranty. Same thing for purchasing it from a retailer not authorized by Samsung. Since no model of the SGS2 is intended for sale in the U.S. buying it from anyone in the U.S. means it has no warranty - no matter what the seller might tell you. Supposedly, because the warranty is considered global, a properly purchased UK phone should be repaired by Samsung in the U.S. No one's tested that though. Expansys, because they have offices in the UK, ships the phone back through their UK office for warranty repairs.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
If I were to buy Expansys-US would be the place because they do cover it. Now only problem is what if I buy it and AT&T come out with theirs in two weeks LOL! Also, what's the fail rate on the screens, etc?
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
AT&T WILL probably have the Galaxy S II in a few weeks... if you can you are probably better off waiting to see which model you prefer. I heard US varients of the GS II were getting Tegra processors and of course AT&T will cripple the phone with bloatware and slow updates.. so I went ahead and got an unlocked one from Amazon that DOES have a warrenty. Who knows, maybe AT&T will surprise everyone and keep the Galaxy S II the way it should be.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
So you don't think apple will keep it from coming out? I can try to wait a few weeks but man........it's tough. Also, hope there are not long lines like there was for the 3gs.......not worth it for this crap phone..(3GS I mean)
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
I doubt there would be long lines, if any for the Galaxy S II at an AT&T store. Now the iPhone 5... that's a different story haha :). But yea I don't know what to say, the unlocked Galaxy S II is awesome if you have some extra money to spend... otherwise wait and see what AT&T has to offer.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Well I thank everyone for the feedback. I may wait because no warranty and the whole few weeks thing. I just hope att version isn't big as the infuse.
[Galaxy S II General] laxwillsch:
I just bought the unlocked version from amazon with the warranty. I can only see 11.5 gb of internal stoeage though.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
how's the screen? is it defective in any way? Also, did you find out why it only shows that many gb?
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Its 11.5 GB on every phone even though it says 16...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You're the second person to post something about Amazon and a warranty. Any SGS2 sold in the U.S. is considered grey market and therefore has no warranty. Samsung's global warranty states that the product must be purchased in the country of its intended sale and from an authorized Samsung retailer. Anyone that tells you anything different is essentially lying. That's why Amazon (direct, not though a third party) and NewEgg clearly state "no warranty" on their websites. Should you send the phone in for repair Samsung will ask for a copy of the invoice and potentially a credit card statement as proof of date and purchase location. They also know what retailers received what serial numbers and will match that against the invoice you provide.

Do or believe what you want. There is no debate - Samsung's warranty is what it is. People in the UK have already posted their warranty was rejected due to purchasing from an unauthorized retailer so Samsung does enforce their policies. I'm only posting this so people potentially buying the phone from Amazon or anywhere else in the U.S. understand the risk they're taking.

No SGS2 sold in the U.S. has a warranty

. The only exception is Expansys-USA which sends the phone back to the UK through their offices there to have the phone repaired for their U.S. customers.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Sad news.........I just read that AT&T will have a keyboard on theirs. The rumor is now true? What the heck are they doing??? LOL I guess I'll have to buy mine from Expansys-US lol. Are they reliable and what do they honor under the warranty?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's the link. The model number matches the screen shot of the slider posted earlier. It's HSPA+, not LTE which supports the statement made by an AT&T exec a couple of days ago that their first LTE phone won't be out until the end of the year. So it does look like AT&T's getting a slider.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/11/samsung-i927-clears-the-fcc-hurdle-atandt-bound-at-last/
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The warranty is parts and labor against defects for two years. People have posted good experiences with Expansys and they've done exchanges for out-of-box issues without a problem. You might want to consider getting a SquareTrade warranty to protect against accidental damage. It's $94 for two years and covers anything that might not be covered by Samsung. It doesn't cover loss or theft though.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Ok. Squaretrade sounds good too. That's cheaper than AT&T for a warranty lol.

Maybe you can tell me. When I get the phone, do I have to do anything special to set up the marketplace like take it into a store? When I called the store earlier they told me that unlocked phones are a bad thing....LOL
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Oh......and does expansys cover screen defects?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Do you already have an AT&T SIM? If so, what phone are you using it in and what plan are you on? It makes a difference in changing your account as I assume you want the $10/15 a month unlimited data for Non-Smartphones plan.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Out-of-the-box, yes, they'll exchange it for you. Over time, it would have to be sent to the UK for repair.
[Galaxy S II General] asjdwf:
Right now I am grandfathered in on an unlimited data plan. I am using an Iphone 3gs. My plan has 15% off the price because I work with the governemnt. Wouldn't I just keep what I have? It's already unlimited?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You should be good to go. Others are using the same plan. When you pop the SIM in the SGS2 it will read the APN settings off of it. Do a couple of Speed Tests to make sure you're getting fake-4G speeds. If you aren't, there's a post in the dev section that can help you with the APN settings.

Also, with Labor Day coming up Expansys may have coupons out. They had a $25 one for 4th of July. Try a Google search.
