Your title says Nexus S, just a heads up.
[HTC Sensation] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Will bmw give you a Mercedes when you need an oil change? No. mod close this.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] laidbackfreak:
Theoretically under the sale of goods act you could reject it all together as it's not fit for purpose and then sign up for the Nexus.

It's a grey area on what is classed as a reasonable time. But given your contract is 24 months I'd say 2-3 months in would be considered reasonable.

Add tot he fact that this is a known issue you have the right to reject any offers of repairs.

I'd play hard ball with them IF you really want to change.
[HTC Sensation] jordanprudent:
I work for a mobile company and the answer is absolutely no way what so ever. They will replace that handset under warranty, only after having about 5 of 1 phone with the same fault will a network provider look at the possibility of giving you a similar spec/priced phone. And got the sensation that's the s2 .

Sorry chief

Jordan
[HTC Sensation] jjc1992:
Sh*t well I get where your coming from guys its just with it being a common problem with the sensations I'd rather trade up then have to deal with a possible 3-4 more repairs :/
[HTC Sensation] jordanprudent:
Yeh its a bit naff a know , but they will bring the contractual agreement out. Signed with that phone on that tariff. Your not the first to ask, it will make no difference if you upped your tariff to £61 a month to tariff.

Best bet is get it replaced then sell the phone and buy the nexus
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yeah, required regular maintenance is exactly the same as a manufacturing defect, well done.
[HTC Sensation] kris.sh:
I'm on my 4th Sensation, which now has dust under the screen (not all were because of dust), and I've had it, no way will I settle for another when I take it back.
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
This stupid dust issue is the reason I am strongly considering trading my Sensation for a co-workers Nexus S by the end of the day today. I'm now on my second one with this problem and I have seen others being on there 5th one with the same issue.

My coworker said he can live with the dust issue. I, however, can not. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Firstly, in the UK warranties have no legal standing thankfully. Instead we have statutory rights which state items purchased should be fit for purpose, you should get a reasonable amount of use out of it and if a fault develops in the first 6 months it is up to the retailer to prove the issue was caused by the user or was pre-existing at purchase.

So, in relation to your phone, the retailer (not the manufacturer) has a legal responsibility to repair, replace or refund (less an amount for use) it, without affecting you unreasonably.

You have a legal resposibility to be reasonable and co-operative with them.

Your letter is good, you've pointed out that it is a common fault which shows you've done your research, and you're willing to pay the difference to get a different phone.

Of course they are within their rights to just replace your phone with another Sensation (does the Sensation XE suffer too?). I would gently protest if they do stating that you have no confidence that the issue will not re-occur.

If they stand fast, see if they will agree to give you the Nexus if your replacement sensation also develops dust. Get it in writting.

If the replacement does develop dust and they refuse to change models, then it's time to head down the CAB and talk to them about how to get trading standards involved. Also ask O2 for their complaints proceedure so you can lodge a formal complaint regarding the phone.

The more people who do this and demand replacements etc the more pressure the retailers will put on HTC to sort the issue out.
[HTC Sensation] calvin150:
Excellent post -

Only thing I'd add is that often it's best along with taking the official complaints procedure approach to also send off some emails/letters to names you can find of important people within O2, you may just find that one of them picks up your case and if they do you'll definitely get this sorted

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] michlaustn:
Hello,

Im looking to upgrade my neo to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3. The phone is an unlocked/unbranded model However it is detected as a Vodafone neo by Google market. The phone is not rooted. When using the upgrade checker on the phone I see no updates listed.

Which is the best upgrade method? Wotan server or flash tool?If I were to use wotan which of the two versions do I use Nordic or Baltic since there is no UK/GB version listed?

Thanks Michael.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Marcell96:
i think you mean from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?

Wotanserver is the best way, http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-neo-mt15/4-0-1-a-0-283/language-download
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] michlaustn:
Which of the two available updates on wotan server should I use for the UK biotic or Nordic? I see they both include the same languages.

Thanks,

Michael.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotgohan:
how to get movies onto my actual phone memory?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Connect the phone to your pc with a usb cable and drag and drop them over to the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotgohan:
Is there a way to do it with a file explorer? I got ES and I can't figure out what folder I can use. It says cannot move. I cannot hook up my phone to my phone through USB for some stupid reason, so I just use a wireless USB app
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
When you say phone memory you mean the 8gb of built in internal storage right?

That is folder /emmc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Don't think that will work. It's /mnt/emmc. Going right to /emmc will probably be denied.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
/emmc has full rwx permissions for everyone so it should work, however /mnt/emmc would work also as one is just a symlink to the other.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
It should, but he mentioned ES File Explorer which I use a lot. It doesn't like to go directly to /emmc unless you set it to run as root. That's why I pointed that out. Some file browsers don't allow you to run as root so /mnt/emmc is your option.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotgohan:
Yes the methods work, thanks guys. Saved up a lot of space on my sd card.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddtcs:
Hello, I have a roblem with my xperia x10. Everything was going well but there comes a time when the cell stopped charging the battery. When connected to your charger red LED lights up as if charging but it does not.

I connect via USB (storage dispocitivo recognized, Access files etc.) and it is the same, steady red LED, but not loaded. I tried with chargers with different usb cables and nothing. Before this had not fallen or anything similar.

P.D: I have reinstalled the software 2 times. I am using a universal charger now.
[Bravo General] Scrondar:
Now that I have my Bravo back from the factory for repairs, I have two things I'd really like to accomplish with it, but am not feeling nearly confident or knowledgeable enough to go ahead, so any help you all may lend would be most appreciated.

1. My phone is rooted and running Eclair; I have not attempted updating to Froyo because, as I understand it, doing so is not possible on a rooted phone. Is that correct? To compound things, I have been unable to unroot this phone using SuperOneClick (which is how I rooted it originally), so on that front I'm stuck. I did do a stock restore, but all that did was remove the non-stock apps, leaving Superuser still installed. :confused:

2. I have bought BandroidX's Bravo Recovery from the market, but again, don't really have a clue how I would best use it to eventually flash his custom ROM. So, if anyone here would be willing to help me out through my maze, I'd be most grateful.
[Bravo General] Scrondar:
Well, not that anyone was going to actually reply, :p but never mind. My searching shows that several Bravos have been bricked when either using Bravo Recovery, or the custom ROM. I'll just keep it as is and my next Android phone will get modded.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Let me help you, but please simplify your request :D its too much to read.

My native language is not english and I get tired and also I lose the idea of what you are trying to say. :p:p:p:p:p

------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I read it all :D, well you just need to download the SBF file which is stock froyo and flash it with RSD Lite.

Of course you will lose all your data and everything you have installed on your phone. Then you can begin from 0 and do whatever you want.

Can you make me a favor please? download Sideloader Enabler for Bravo from the market and rip it (I mean copy it to your phone or PC) and upload it please, I cant do it because I live outside US.

Thanks.
[Bravo General] FanDroid09:
Okay i can give you fairly simple to follow instructions if you want to flash a ROM to your phone. I highly recommended that you try Bandroidx's bravo RC2 rom, it is a smaller file and you'll see a major speed improvement over eclair.

1. make 100% sure you are actually rooted. (download a root only app and see if it successfully gains root access when you open it).

2. download the zipped file of whatever rom you want to use

3. plug in your phone and copy your zipped file to your phones sdcard

4. open bandroidx's recovery app, press the bootstrap recovery option, let it do its thing. once its successful go ahead and hit the reboot recovery option.

5. after it boots you'll now be in a small text menu with some different options, scroll down to the advanced option (using volume keys) and select it with the power key, then scroll to wipe dalvik cache. let it finish, head back to the main menu.

6. now select wipe cache partition, let it finish

7. now select wipe data/factory reset, let it finish

8. now select install zip from sdcard, you'll be presented with your sdcard contents, locate the zipped file that you copied earlier and select it. Let it do its thing.

9. once its completely finished you can select reboot system now

your phone will reboot normally now... GIVE IT TIME, this first boot can take up to like 10 min. You'll be fine if you follow these instructions.

*if you mess something up and your phone doesn't boot up or bootloops, dont panic. post it up and i can give you instructions on flashing back to stock with RSD lite.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Uh, yeah I don't think you flash "sbf" files with cwm...lol.
[Bravo General] FanDroid09:
ya really sorry man... it was a long post and i made an error, i should have said "zipped file" like i did in the line directly below it... but thank you soooooooooooo much for pointing it out because it really compromised the integrity of the instructions...lol.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Soooo........?

Did you do anything? I haven't seen or heard of one of our Bravo's still on Eclair. Wow. The times. Above anything I would say if you can just do a OTA Update. To my knowledge it doesn't matter if your rooted or not if you have a stock rom. You might lose the root though. S1C it back to rooted and you'll be fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Is there a file I can delete to permanently delete the top action bar in ADW instead of always putting that toggle on my screen?
[Vibrant General] EdWood110:
Problem solved, pls delete this thread...reinstalled CM7 and the problem is gone.

Sorry
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
I heard that ice cream sandwich its getting hardware acceleration. why haven't devs put this in a rom before? Too complicated?
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
It would mean that the ics would have a Kernal that allows acceleration, the current kernel doesn't allow it

from my finally liberated X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
I figured. Have devs implemented hardware acceleration on phones with an unlocked bootloader?
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Haven't seen or heard of it on GB. Probably isn't quite possible yet as the phones are already pushed just about to their max.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
If moto or VZW (who ever is blocking it) gives us an unlock, I will pay full price for a returned phone if I mess it up! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
Never, phones have alot more to go. Ever wonder why the iPhone is much smoother and faster even though we have faster processors? Hardware acceleration. Android lacked it, until ICS.
[Motorola Droid X2] Meany105:
actually, Cyanogenmod 7 and touchwiz 4.0 both support hardware acceleration and that's just off the top of my head. i'm sure there are others, but none are availible to the droid x2
[Motorola Droid X2] Jasonhunterx:
But those are different the ics hardware acceleration is though whole ui all animations pulling down status bar everything!!

i was using the UK	Retail	4.5.1_128

please help guys
[Defy General] farsight73:
Go to stock recovery and full wipe the data/cache before attempting to flash another sbf or rom.
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
i cant go to any recovery menu , i pressed vol down + power for like 2 mints and nothing happens i only can go to bootloader
[Defy General] jiten.verma:
Try to flash with original SBF, which was installed when you buy the phone and also try RSD version 5.3.1 with driver 5.2
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
gona try that when i get back from work today , just one thing how would i know wich version was on it we have another moto defy here at work with red lense , is there a posbility it wil be the same ? i checked the phone and it found that its the same from the inside when i got mine
[Defy General] jiten.verma:
Try to find that which SBF is supports in your region, then try. As i already get stuck in this situation earlier and i use SBF which supports in our region then it gets resolved.
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
wich one support jordan country ?
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
i think i need this sbf but i cant find it

here is the details

Build Number : JRDNEM_u3_2.54.0

System Version , Moto_version_2.54.0mb525,retail.en.ME2

GAS_ASIA_USAJORDANRTARAB_P022

but i cant find it :S please help
[Defy General] jiten.verma:
Version which u r specify is relates to eclair (2.1) and going back to eclair is difficult. Now in my opinion u can try this SBF http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093352, if this not work then u have to go to moto service centre (without telling truth) and repair from them.
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
isnt there another way than sending it to the company :S all sbf failed :(
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
so no other way ?????
[Defy General] (c)ollen:
if all you can get in, is bootloader

try figuring out what your last android version was (2.1 2.2 2.3)

or better what version your cg39 is. (3? 4?)

from there flash the appropriate sbf file

the one with the same cg39 version as previous os.

from there, go where you want...
[Defy General] Noxchi26:
but i cant find the one that was on the device ? i searched every where XS
[Defy General] jiten.verma:
read this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316254, may be it can solve your problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yang704:
Not sure if is the rom or is the hardware but when I play Raging Thunder 2 it gets really hot ( no, not warn..it's HOT! ). Not only that last night I download a 234mb game data it gets hot also. It seem like if you have a heavy consistent use app or process it gets hot. Im on StarBurst Rom 10/15/11

[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Just curious if it might be possible to be able to port the folder widgets from miui to any rom. I use mikg and I keep trying miui once in awhile but I keep coming back to sense. I really like the folders from miui though. Anyone else like that feature? I use an app called 'folder organizer' and it works great but I have trouble customizing the look of the widgets. Just thought it would be cool.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] guitarjockey:
Look for an app called simi folder in the market. Closest I could find.
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Thanks I'll check it out

[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
I tried flashing the unblurred rom onto my bionic, i wiped everything as told in the insturctions after making a recovery from bootstrap. When I went to choose zip file, there was no files to be found on my device, so i went to try and recover my recovery made earlier since i wiped everything else. Now my phone is stuck at:

AP fastboot flash mode (s)(boot failure)

0a.53

Battery OK

OK to program

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

Invalid CG OTV (cg: webtop): invalid sp data

invalid cg version (cg:webtop)

invalid cg otv (cg:webtop)

I have tried flashing with RSD Lite and it fails every time, and i have tried flashing with the one click restore, it goes through the whole program and when it reboots, it goes back to this screen, how can i recover from this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
Try pulling the battery, plug into computer, put battery back in... hold down volume,push power button....that should bring you back to fast boot.....now try one click...

Edited...forgot to put battery back in
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
its already in fastboot
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
Did u at least try what the gentleman suggested?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
yes i did and after it flashes the restore files i know get this at the bottom of the screen under where it says usb connected:

invalid cg otv (cg:system): invalid sp data

invalid cg otv (cg:webtop): invalid sp data

invalid cg version (cg:webtop)

invalid cg otv (cg:webtop)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
bummer, i have been there before, and pulling the battery solved it....Wish I had more man.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

another suggestion....i went through another period where nothing would work and I ended up reinstalling the moto driver...when you double click the driver to run, it will pop up saying something about the driver exists and a choice will come up "fix"...click fix...once its done, try again....crossing my fingers
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
so thank you all but whatever i did totally bricked this thing, luckily vzw had no clue about it so they are overnighting me a new bionic. i hope its not a refurbished unit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ElektroPimp:
Hey man if you get a refurbished bionic check the earpiece, the one they tried to give me was crackling really bad even at low volume. I sent it right back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ak110707:
I know your getting one sent to you but you also might want to try the 1-click method. RSD never worked for me but the other method (1 click restore + root) worked great.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
One click always seems to work miracles for me. If you can get to fastboot, you can probably restore.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bbm21:
Exact same problem here...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ITGuy11:
You ass.. You soft bricked your phone and return it to VZW??? It is because of people like you that bootloaders continue to be locked.

Hope you enjoy committing fraud..

Don't play the game if you are not prepared to pay!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
I haven't tried the 1 click restore and root yet, but I probably should as many times as i SBF.

I just use RSDLite to restore and pete's moto root tools to get root again.

Those of you having problem with RSD Lite, you're probably on a 64bit computer. I notice there's some compatibility issues with RSD and 64bit. That's why I have a 64 and a 32bit desktop side by side :P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] embeem:
It's actually pretty easy to get dumped into fastboot on power up, especially if you've been poking around in fastboot.

Some of the fastboot commands trigger a state where the phone thinks you're about to reflash and considers it a failed attempt if you don't, booting you back into fastboot so you can try again. This is pretty easy to figure out; just hold both volume buttons on powerup to get the boot menu and then try selecting normal boot. If normal boot works, then you can either keep using that at bootup or flash any cg and it'll stop going into fastboot.

Still not working? All of the partitions (cgs) are signed, it's a cryptographic checksum at the end of the partition that proves nothing's been modified. When the signature doesn't match the contents you'll be dropped into fastboot with complaints about that particular cg. Only option is to reflash that partition back to stock. The large partitions like system and webtop only need to be checked once, and after the phone is happy that they've been checked you can root and modify them as long as you're careful not to trip up whatever mechanism forces it to recheck.
[Bravo General] JTtheGeek:
Sooo i can't post in android developement since I'm a newb here. I have a bravo sitting around that I had bought my GF, but both of us got so fed up with it, its a spare now. I am proficient software developer with quiet a bit of experience. I know jack **** about working on Android, but it appears a lot of you know what needs to be done and just need someone to do it. I am referring specifically to getting CM7 and MIUI camera and camcorder working. If you want my help, I am happy to, but I will need some guidance and can take it from there.

~ JT

I'm tired of having a damn good piece of hardware with a ****ty piece of software on it.

Ask me anything and I'll tell you what I know. BTW I have the newly released CM7.1 running on the Bravo...I can also help you on what files to move to get any Defy ROM to work. I really want the camera to work on here too. It's getting really close.. camcorder works and it looks like it can take pictures but no picture is saved...
[Bravo General] marquae11:
we need to work with codes. It's the codes for the camera that need to be altered

Sent from my gingerbravo
[Bravo General] JTtheGeek:
Lol can you be a little bit more specific, what research has been done? I know of few of you guys have tried swapping libraries around, do we have a list of efforts tried, and theories on what to try next... Do we need to decompile/dissasmble the library out of the stock kernel for the camera and reinject into into the new rom? Essentially... wtf is going on with the cam situation?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
With almost every rom that its ported to bravo we just can have the camcorder working, when we take pics the file JPG is saved but its blank.

I made a logcat after taking a pic and you can see that camera is working with some jordan libs (defy). bravo is kobe
