[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
I went to Verizon today to help get my friend get a phone. And the guy (who is actually pretty cool and tech-savy) who helped me get my Droid Bionic happened to be working. As he was setting up my friends phone we were talking about cool things to do with my Bionic. He asked if I had it rooted, and I told him I did. He advised me to unroot it because, "Verizon is sending out 'spikes' and tracks who rooted their phones, will fry your SIM card, and put a flag on your account". I understand that rooting voids your warranty and is a breach to your contract. But is what he said true?

I had a LG G2X and a HTC HD7, both have been rooted and never been "spiked or fried".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] snowblind64:
Nope. Total BS.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
The absolute most horse**** thing I've ever heard. Employee oughta be fired.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamNJ77:
LMAO...he can't be that tech-savvy, or if he is, he's just being a total tool. What a ridiculous story to make up
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
You guys are probably right. He just has me paranoid now. So if I root my phone (successfully, again), I'll be fine?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cvmaas:
Yes, you will be fine. If you are worried about big red knowing your rooted, in the future try not telling the guy you rooted lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
Phones that have been rooted/modified will generally be refused service(as in troubleshooting) and/or warranty exchange. And generally the account will be notated that the customer has a modified device so that if he tries to go to another store, they will know. If you're smart enough to root it, then you should be smart enough to fix whatever you broke. This is part of the reason why I hate one-clicks.

Or do a damn NAND before you flash/modify something.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.garrett:
That said, you should be aware that some app/service vendors have ways of preventing their things to be installed on a rooted phone. I think both Blockbuster and Netflix have toyed with this, for instance. In those cases, you'll have to wait around for someone to get a fix out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
So if I don't tell them that it's rooted, and they don't see it, will Verizon be able to know through their network? Because I was having trouble sending and receiving text messages a couple days ago and was working with the rep to get it resolved. I'm sure he knew it was rooted. Then he called tech services and they worked on it for about an hour or so. Neither of them mentioned anything about my rooted device or denied me help because of it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Proff3ss0r Farnsw0rth:
I actually have the netflix app on mine rooted and strapped. No problems here. But its true some apps do know and care for sure.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
Then that Rep was doing you a favor so be sure to give a good score if you get the survey. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scottysize:
He actually said that? What a moron. It's great if you don't know anything, but for those of us that do, what the heck is he thinking?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickuski:
I was @ best buy and found out their phone warranty ($10 month, no deductible) covers rooted phones!!! Couple that with the buy back program which is top notch and I was scratching my head wondering why any of us would ever buy directly from big red or anybody. They also have the "mail in rebates" as immediate rebates.

If you like having the latest and greatest though, especially if you like rooting, best buy is the spot. Makes me wanna talk my buddy out of his upgrade (on my account) just so I can do it there...lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
Things that are too good to be true generally are... I'd read that fine print very carefully.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
Please elaborate as I have poor eyesight and can't really read the fine print very well:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] POQbum:
No there's no way to tell. If you actually told them ' I rooted my phone ' they would quickly tell you that none of their support team can help you, or if you get a nice person they would say that and still continue to try and help you- but they have no obligation to help you with a rooted phone.

Rooting your phone basically means you will not get any support from them (only if they know you rooted it).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
This, they tried putting a note on my account saying I was rooted because I was using go launcher instead of the stock. ****ing idiots. and yeah if they think you have it rooted they'll pretty much deny you service.

also, excellent avatar. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Lol right
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I've returned phones without unrooting them and they've never said anything. I do suggest making it look as much like stock as you can (dont return it with custom boot animations or themes). I dont think they look at the returned phones in all that much detail. You obviously don't want it looking all customized because then they don't have to look too hard.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
On a side note, the last person you want to listen to is a instore cellphone sales Rep. They know less than anyone. Its industry standard for them to have their workers being clueless.

I've actually been in a store and was able to help other customers better than they could. I won't let them help me with anything other than ringing up my purchase and hope they get that right and not overcharge me (one time on sprint, they messed up my package and I was getting charged for data usage and ran up my phone bill and they shut off the phone days later for running up the bill by using too much data even though it was supposed to be unlimited)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Notorious93:
Nope they dont even care if its customized...I've sent back about 6 OG Droids with custom boot animations and boot logo's, and 1 bricked bionic and never once have they ever said anything to me instore or over the phone...ive even sent back a fully cracked screen and still nothing, ive always got my free replacement

it honestly makes me wonder if they even look at the phones much. I think they just replace parts and flash to instantly restore to everything to stock
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I think your right but I would still take a custom boot animation off just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JAmerican:
I had a Touch Pro 2 on SERO and upgraded on Friday to the Epic 4G Touch with SERO Premium. It took Sprint reps in the store 3.5 hours to do the switch because two reps who didn't know what they were doing switched the E4GT on my account before allowing me to purchase it. It resulted in an upgrade to my 2-year contract. I lost my upgrade eligibility which gives you the discounts allowing you to pay the $200 price for the phone. This Sprint Corporate Store spent the 3.5 hours calling National Sprint Service (NSS) and Sprint Customer Service (SCS). No one could resolve the problem because no one took ownership of the problem. By 7:55pm (I came into the store at 5:30pm), right before closing, one of the reps called both NSS and SCS in a three-way call so that someone would reverse the error to allow me the upgrade eligibility. I finally got the phone activated by 8:05pm. They activated my phone on a Everything Data plan so I had to call in and get it changed to SERO Premium. My plan went from SERO --> Everything Messaging --> SERO --> Everything Data --> SERO-P (by calling in).

If anyone is upgrading, call in to change your plan to SERO-P at the store so that they know you did it in their presence but do not provide the phone ESN to Sprint Customer Care before purchasing the phone because you WILL experience the same headache.

One thing that really pissed me off was that the manager of the Sprint CORPORATE store was not even there and the Epic 4G Touch released. WTF?

/rant
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
I was about to ask you if the manager was there, then got to the end of your message.

This phone was not a major release for sprint. We did not get any traffic whatsoever until about 2 days before launch at my store. Sold our stock within 2 hours of opening however, and I'm sure I'm going to go in tomorrow and find out that we had a lot more upset people. The internet hype on this phone is pretty high but most CO reps have a bad taste in their mouths from all the problems with the NS4G and basically every other Samsung phone dating back to the moment. So no one pushed it. Sucks, but the only person in my store that was pushing it was me.

saga = vivo ??!

is it compatible for IncS & this is IncS section ?
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
Very nice and smooth but I got two times freezing on installing apps ( also after second boot), also I still don't like HTC boot sound and I need to disable it.
[HTC Incredible S] ibrahimh:
Ehab

Will i need full wipe coming coming from your pyramid rom?
[HTC Incredible S] ehabfg:
saga (desire s rom ported to incredible s ) so it is compitable :D:D:D

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

remove android_audio.mp3 from data/local in rom file with winrar or 7.zip

the sound will disappeared;););)

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

you need full wipe

freezing rate is much reduced than in rom v3.0

the cause of freezing is the moded services.jar where no original services.jar for incredible s

i can form rom 100% NO freezing but no backlight of moving softkeys (all htc decives except incredible s have non moving softkey so can ported to each other with no problem but incredible s need special services.jar)
[HTC Incredible S] ibrahimh:
Thanks Ehab

I have gone back to your 3.0 ROM as i dont have any freezing issues .

I think its brilliant
[HTC Incredible S] nikz106:

I install the previous version "Pyramid v2.1" and it's work perfectly ;)
[HTC Incredible S] nikz106:
Any fix for the bluetooth???
[HTC Incredible S] PhuongHoang:
Version 2.1 very hard than version 3.0 (and now is 3.2), the last version is smooth and brilliant.

If you have used Rom "EhabFG Vivo Android 2.3.5 Saga v1-3.65.96", have you any comments?
[HTC Incredible S] nikz106:
The rom is very smooth and its perfect except the bluetooth is not working .. waiting for ehab to fix that .. you can make this a daily rom without doubt after the fix ..
[HTC Incredible S] boytoy:
Agree. Allready is my daily rom
[HTC Incredible S] a.2mjed.a:

[HTC Incredible S] mahmutuslu:
wipe or upgrade ?
[HTC Incredible S] ratedr75:
Would it be silly of me to assume that there is also English as a language on this rom. If so then ill be giving it a try as the Runnymede I have at the moment is bloody buggy.
[HTC Incredible S] nikz106:
You should read the OP carefully .. there is written multi-language .. so yes there is english language too in the ROM ..
[HTC Incredible S] wlkoff:
Hi Ehab, thanks for the ROM very much. It´s fast and seems to be stable as well. I found that the Customize button on right side from the Phone button on the main screen launches Internet connection instead of Customize menu. Is that as designed or just a little mistake in function mapping? :-)
[HTC Incredible S] redank:
you can change that in settings > tweaks > sense options > uncheck first button
[HTC Incredible S] wlkoff:
Ok, it´s fine now. Thanks :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] boytoy:
Again bluetooth and call volume doesn't work
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
tranparency problem...can see main screen from all app menu etc !
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Its themed that way.....
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
button widget go to @ link to google search engine !!
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Goto settings/tweaks and you can change it there to normal.
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
thanks...btw how to cut out blue effect, i like the normal stock..
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Coredroids roms are themed like that i think youll have to change rom if you dont like it ...
[HTC Incredible S] nikz106:
No bluetooth in this rom also?! :-/
[HTC Incredible S] alfa7d:
WHY there is NO Bluetooth ???
[HTC Incredible S] vuvantinh:

[HTC Incredible S] kanada_green:
Found One BUG (

1) I was unable to adjust the sound during a phonecall. Can NOT make it quieter or lounder.

If there is a fix please help/

Otherwise the ROM is Amazing.

THANK YOU
[HTC Incredible S] piobeer:
+1

After I wiped and re-installed sound on mic was working for me but in-call volume can not be adjusted.

Also the sports mode in the camera crashes the camera itself - had to reboot to get the camera working again.
[HTC Incredible S] PhuongHoang:
You should be format system, cache, data then wipe data.... After you install new rom.
[HTC Incredible S] piobeer:
I know I have flashed tons of ROMS before on various devices. I use both wiping from recovery as well as the super wipe script from the ARHD thread.
[HTC Incredible S] ante_ante:
Just installed this Rom earlier today and it works great so far with the things i´ve tried :)
[HTC Incredible S] Mikael1711:
Keeps freezing constantly. Have done full wipe before flashing.

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Incredible S] loddogg:
i make full wipe and "fresh" install but my mic is not working i see people here reports what mic work for them. i dont know why its not working. :confused: im on o2 without contract in uk. otherwise its a great rom but not usable for me. i will try again to install it and use different kernels.
[HTC Incredible S] mohamed_moscow:
That is because of OC daemon. It also happened for me and everything went good after removing it.
[HTC Incredible S] bshihada:
I'm just wondering how did you manage to remove the OC Daemon? I tried to delete the script and the application controller .apk, but my system crashed! I had to reinstall the Rom to get the system back to work.
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
any call fixed for this so far ?

if someone can come out with check list bug , it would better for both of us ...
[HTC Incredible S] mohamed_moscow:
