[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
I haven't checked out squaretrade yet, but imo a comprehensive insurance is a must. No matter how well u take care of ur phone accidents can happen and so can theft. To my knowledge, warranty only covers manufacturing defects, not incidental damage/theft.
[HTC Sensation] kjt57:
Check your house insurance, mine is covered up to £700 for loss or damage, no excess to pay....
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I would not say a "must". But worth considering if you have a history of issues. I used to buy it all the time, and after almost 10 years of never using it I stopped buying it and still was going just fine without it. I did get it on my Sensation though, because I got a very good deal from SquareTrade when I brought the Sensation through Ebay. The deal I got was <10% of what I paid for the Sensation, which is a price less than replacing it with a used one 2 years from now and less than I'd have to pay a repair shop to fix most any issue. So I'll get the insurance when I can get get a very cheap deal on it. Otherwise, I'll self insure, as in not buy it.

I'd certainly never use Asurion though. They got enough of my money in the past. In a year $8/month is $96 + $100(or higher) deductible = ~$200. So to pay about $200 or so for a refub of the same device is pretty terrible of a deal IMHO.

My old HD2 is the first device I've had that broke do to issues from drops over time, it's SIM slot broke after 16 months of ownership, that would have costs me about $225+ through Asurion, just to get a refub HD2 to replace it. I can get a nearly brand new HD2 for that price off Ebay tonight. But I didn't even want another HD2 16 months later, I wanted something new, so I sold the used broken HD2 on Ebay. The HD2 and it's SIM card with the Transformers movie fetched me almost $150 which went torwards Sensation accessories :D and more than paid for the SquareTrade coverage. I could have used that money to buy an HD2 in better condition if I desired, or paid less to get the broken HD2 repaired. But in no way does the math ever work for me to use Asurion ever again. If car insurance or home owners insurance were 50% of the price of the device new or 100% of replacement with a used version of the same, people would cry it was fraud.

For the vast majority in the USA, they won't cover a cell phone. And usually if they do, the deductible is as high as the price of the phone if not higher.
[HTC Sensation] jdep1:
GET IT. I have it over 5yrs since I had my tmobile wing & even if you take care of it something could happen example my hd2 messed up when the electricity went out in my house the phone was connected to the tv and after that phone kept getting random boots. Just get it best investment you could do for your phone.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
DEDUCTIBLE IS $130 for the Sensation according to Asurion website and literature.
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
I gladly pay $8 a month knowing that each year I can have my phone replaced twice. Lost, stolen, damaged no questions asked. Each time I have paid my $130 deductible I have received a brand new in box device. I have used it about 4 times now. They even send u a Sim card and it usually arrives the next day after u male the claim. But I will look into this other company u guys r talking about
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Your right $0 deductible for squaretrade but once Ur care plan is considered fulfilled you need to drop another x amount to cover you new device...

So to me that's the same as paying Asurions deductible.

Not to mention I paid a subsidized price for my sensation and if I was to buy another one I couldn't get it for that price again. So does that mean I'm screwed?

Coverage Amount For replacement payments:

You are covered up to the maximum value you paid for the item. Once we pay out that amount, your Care Plan is considered fulfilled. If you would like coverage on your new item, you need to purchase a new warranty for it.

For Repairs:

The Care Plan is good for multiple repairs, up to the maximum value of your item. Once the cost of repairs meets the full purchase price of the item, your Care Plan is considered fulfilled.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar112:
hi there :(

I just flashed my Samsung tab with a new rom, after that it started with a black blank screen. I tried to put it into recover mode or download mode but nothing is shown on the screen and the four buttons in the bottom are always lit. i cant even turn the device off.

when i connect it into my pc, nothing shows up as if it weren't connected at all even Odin can't recognize it.

any ideas?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animaldito:
keep pressing power for about 10 secs to make sure the device is off.

after that connect back with odin open and hold vol- , home and power and keep holding.

it takes a while but it should show on odin.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar112:
can't turn the device off no matter what I do, the lower buttons are always on and when I press the power button the back light of the screen turn on and it turns back off as soon as I release the button again.

and I tried to go into recovery but I couldn't.

thanx for replying
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar112:
any new ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Push in power button and hold for 20 seconds. When all lights go out then hold down the lower volume button and power button together, count 30 seconds before releasing. See if ODIN recognises by connecting to pc. If it does then reflash with a stock froyo rom, pit file, tar file and modem.bin file for your region.

See what happens then.

If this doesn't work then you have a brick - fix under warranty if you have it or pay to get it fixed or put money towards new tab/other....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar112:
here is what happened after letting the device battery drains out.

i connected it with the charger for 9 hours and came back trying to turn it on but i couldn't. after that i connected it to my PC and a driver instillation message appeared up saying

"OMAP3630 No driver found"

what should I do
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar112:
hi ultramag69

I just tried your way but nothing, the device is completely dead:(

I am in need of advise from users whether the gingerbread

I am currently on droidzones starburst so go on

What have you got and what's good what's missing

what wouldn't you recommend
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Stable versions are usually working, nightlies may have issues (CM7 So far have nightlies)

I am using GB a few months.

And what's missing and what's not - go and read a bit in each ROM's thread.

Then decide yourself :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
I see no reason to keep Froyo.

I am switching from time to time between InsertCoin stable (current 1.1.0) and Oxygen (current 2.2.1)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conancordial:
Check out the G1 Android Development and try the different stable ROMs. :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] juanacevedo:
Ok so i am following one of the guides on here so that i can update from 7392 to 7403 then 7712 then to the final mango 7720. Problem is that when i try to search for updates, zune says my phone is up to date. I have already updated to the zune beta but still no luck... Is there a solution? Oh and yes i followed the steps exactly as they are written.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jborean93:
As well as installing the Zune player beta you must run the provisioning tool that you can get on this forum. This tool backs up your phone and also changes a few settings so that when you check for updates it will find 7401.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
Wow...I'm glad to see it's pretty darn scratch resistant! (though not arrow resistant)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Smith42:
They need a disclaimer: "We do not work for ASUS RMA department".

Maybe the guy with the arrow does...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elzbieta:
hehe... Pretty good! But like somene pointed out on that page... still should be careful with little sand etc, as that most likely will scratch it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Couldn't see myself doing this to my TF! It'd be like kicking my children. (if I had any) But nice to see how strong Gorilla Glass is. I haven't purchased a screen protector yet and I've had the TF since early June. Thankfully no scratches on it, even when my dog runs across the screen or jumps on it when he jumps onto my bed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmilz:
Good to know, now I feel more confident throwing it into my backpack when traveling. No more worrying about headphones, keys, pens, etc scratching it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flapjack7:
Yeah, Sure you can scratch it with keys, nails etc. and you'll be fine. But give it to my wife to carry it in her purse for half an hour and it's already scratched :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Yeah, but will it blend?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliet:
I'm sure it does. It always pains my heart to see him blend a perfectly working electronic device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
To be honest wouldn't any other glass withstand such a test too? I expected some hammers and razors in action. ;) I buy glasses with glass lens (not plastic ones) because I found that they just don't scratch, and they are not gorilla glass or anything, just normal glass.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Different tablet, still Gorilla glass: I made the mistake to place my Galaxy Tab on an high place the cat loves. So obviously I watched when the clawed beast jumped, partly landing on the screen, doing his best to grip, fail at not falling and look offended. Some marks on the screen, but nothing that couldn't be cleaned with a damp cloth.

That said... I sure hope Gorilla glass has some other quality: keep in mind that to cut glass they use diamonds or special tools, it's fragile but pretty scratch resistant.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
It hurts to watch him do that. I know it's pretty scratch resistant.. but when I was watching it on my TF, I kept checking for scratches.. as if he'd induce them on my screen. :(

Hi, I'm having big issues sending text messages from my Arc. After using the *#*#4636#*#* code, I was also unable to change the SMSC details as kept getting an Update-Error and a Refresh-Error. I was hoping someone would able to give me some advice on how to get around this.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Your SIM is not Android-ready! You should contact your mobile provider and ask them for a new SIM. Should be free and instant in one of the shops you provider probably has :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercano:
I would like to use this thread for similar question.

How the hell can we change SMS settings, like sms center number, validity period and so on?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
SMS Center can be changed in *#*#4636#*#* (update = save settings, refresh = pull settings from sim)

Not sure about validity period. I think Android just keeps it on 'maximum possible'. Don't almost all phones do that nowadays?

Delivery report can be changed in the messaging options.

Hi guys, HTC official unlocking bootloader HERE

Original text:

HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. We have heard your voice and starting now, we will allow our bootloader to be unlocked for 2011 models going forward. We plan on releasing the updates that will allow you to unlock your bootloader in the coming months, please keep an eye on this website for more details on which devices will be adding this feature. We are extremely pleased to see the energy and enthusiasm from our fans and loyal customers, and we are excited to see what you are capable of. HTC eagerly anticipates your innovations.

It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader unlocking scope.

Our devices have been designed with our hardware and software specifications in mind and unlocking the bootloader will change the software and may cause unexpected side effects. It is impossible for HTC to ensure the proper functioning of your device after this. In the worst case scenario, it is possible that your device may be physically damaged due to overheating or the behavior of your device might be altered including, but not limited to, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and specific absorption rate (SAR) values.

Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (“firmware over the air”), we do not guarantee that updating your device via FOTA will not render your device unusable. Please understand that you will not be able to return your device to the original state and going forward your device may not be held covered under the warranty for all claims resulting from the unlocking of the bootloader. HTC bears no responsibility if your device is no longer usable afterwards.

HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, due to some of our carrier customers concerns, certain models with specific restrictions may not be able to be unlocked. Please refer to our list of supported devices to see if your device is eligible for unlocking the bootloader.

We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved. This is a technical procedure and the side effects could possibly necessitate repairs to your device not covered under warranty. If you are still interested in unlocking the bootloader, and you understand the consequences both to your device and to your warranty, then you may refer to the following pages where we have provided the unlocking instructions.

Waiting for another model...now only for Sensation
[HTC Desire S] Bulkatos:
At the moment, very interesting.
[HTC Desire S] WWWeed:
Why has this been posted in the Desire S forum?

Surely it would be better in the Sensation forum, given that page has no information on unlocking the Desrie S boot-loader....
[HTC Desire S] Bubaaak:
It is not for our Desire S ... Just Sensatiion and EVO 3D ... also it void warranty although its official , so i think Revolutionary is better way...
[HTC Desire S] looktall:
do you think that doesn't void your warranty?

"We plan on releasing the updates that will allow you to unlock your bootloader in the coming months, please keep an eye on this website for more details on which devices will be adding this feature."

[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
Could your cable possibly have come loose? I haven't seen anybody with this problem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xboxhacka:
How are you charging your infuse?

With the stock cable and wall charger, stock cable and computer, or some other way?

If you are using the stock wall charger maybe the charger is going out. First try charging it another way and that should tell you if it is the wall charger, USB port on the computer, the phone, or even the battery on the phone that might be going out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sasa111:
even i see that charging on infuse is very very slow... but not as slow as u have reported.. for me it takes like 6-7 hours for full recharge... that i feel is too slow compared to other phones i had... maybe bcos of larger battery... but even then it'll be a pain during travel..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
From what I have read the phone charges at 600ma an hour so it should charge in around 3 hours. Maybe you have stuff running in the backgound. Try charging with the phone powered off just as a test and see what happens. I go from zero to 100% in under 4hrs with phone on and under 3hrs with it off. It also depends on HOW you charge it (wall charger, car charger, computer).

As for traveling, you can buy cheap batteries on eBay for $5 or 3 for $10 and some that even come with a free-standing charger. They are so small and light you could almost carry a weeks supply.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Wall charger with phone at idle and stock charge current limit should be 3-4 hours from dead at most.

A phone in operation will take MUCH longer to charge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
So, i am charging it with this very cheap-bought-on-ebay-from-China kinda cable, and attached to it is an adapter of sorts.

see pic.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Thats your problem cheap equipment leads to poor performance

infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
THANKS!

Sorry to ask (and annoy), but any chance you can link me to a GOOD charger for this phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Go to samsungs website and get the one that came with infuse or do a little searching on eBay. Look for OEM replacement

infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
OEM! got it! Thank you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Yea buddy

infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It probably isn't capable of delivering the proper current. I've seen chargers marked as 1A capable that were really only capable of 300-400 mA.

Official HTC chargers seem to work well - they're rated 1A instead of 0.7. The official Samsung charger also seems to be underrated as far as current, I pull 0.8 amps out of it on a regular basis with no problems.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-USB-Data-Charger-Micro-USB-Cable-HTC-Sensation-4G-/170670339203?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bcbeb483#ht_3410wt_1324

Will this work?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
That cable should work - it's more about the charger you plug it into that matters. Anything name-brand rated above 1A that is compliant with the USB Battery Charging specification should work. (Read: iPad/iPhone chargers need modifications or the phone will treat them as USB and limit charge current to 475 mA - but still that should be better than your current situation.)

For cables, I'm 100% happy with Monoprice cables. I have a pile of these in various lengths and they work great:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10303#1030307

For charging, get the 28/24 cables with ferrite cores - These have heavy-gauge power wires.
