[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cornbreadx:
I just emailed sprint today. I have had the worst string of problems from them. Last month or so, their tower crashed to it's knees at my home location. No Sprint customer could make calls or receive them without them dropping out or breaking up and then losing the call. The call retention (confirmed by a CS Rep at Sprint) on that tower was 32%. They dispatched a team to fix it. It took them 2 weeks to fix the problem. The issue I had was that I was complaining about dropped calls off that tower for months - and they did nothing till it fully broke. After complaining to executive services, they researched it and said "it was (your) phone. Go to a Sprint store and have them check it out."

Uh... What?

I could make calls all over the rest of the state, on any other Sprint tower or roaming tower... of the 5 phones on my plan, 4 of them are local to this area and they all had the same problem on this particular tower, but could make calls in the rest of the state. And... it's my phone that was the issue? WTH?

After that, I was sorely pissed off. I ended up doing some research and have come to find out that in NH, the southern half of the state has limited 3G service. Additionally, there is currently no 4G in the entire state, nor in Maine, and only sporadically in Boston. For 5 lines, I pay roughly 250 with unlimited everything. Verizon and AT&T both have 4G in all the major cities in NH as well as excellent 3G coverage for most of the state. Their price on a similar plan? 270 with taxes. Hell, my commute daily - 2/3rds of it is through a roaming zone. Been like that forever. And a recent upgrade in Concord has caused one of my phones to now ping back and forth off a roaming tower where once it was solid 3G 4+ bars. These aren't crappy phones either. HTC 4G and Samsung S 2 Galaxy - all new.

I'd literally leave sprint tomorrow, but because of outrageous contract cancellation fees (almost 700.00) and the hit on having to purchase all new phones for another carrier, I am basically enslaved to Sprint till these newer contracts are up. What can one do? 7 years a customer.. and they won't waive the contract fees because it's policy?

Made me bring up the point with their executive offices about their charge for hotspot service - 30-45 per phone?? For less than DSL speed?? I thought this was the company of cutting edge technology, but my ignorance has blinded me from the truth.

Despite all these issues though, I have to sadly report - their customer service has gone way down hill. Turn around times for callbacks now at 72 hours where it once was within 24? And the credit I was supposed to receive for the two weeks of no service in my home area - that never was applied, and no record of that in the notes beyond the first 25.00 of the 100.00 they said they would give me. This company used to be the talk of my conversations in terms of cell service, support, and phones, but hell, half the Sprint store staff can't even setup email client on the phone when you give them the information. So what's going on with this company?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crwolv:
It all totally depends on who you get when u call.have had worse exp with them so I feel ya. To get out of 700 to leave they are able to do it but discouraged and a lot don't want that on there record. Keep calling and asking to be let out of contract...eventually someone will. Hope this helps.good luck

I was just wondering if this would work. I got a G2 in june. The thing is, the G2 is discontinued now, they dont make them they only make the G2X. So since my G2 is under warranty... say if it were to magically stop working (; would they replace it with a G2X instead?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Possible, but they don't usually replace your device with a better one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Although the G2 is no longer sold as a new device, chances are there are refurbished G2's which will serve as warranty replacements.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] melliwuk:
this is what happened earlier...

i tried rooting my phone on 2.3.5 then found out i needed 2.3.3 max to root, so i tried flashing 2.3.3 to my phone, something went wrong and now after several attepths at restoring it it just boot cycles. i can get into download mode no problem, but it doesnt matter what i flash it tells me it cant mount efs or dbdata. is there a way to fix this or do i need to send my phone off to get it repaired?

melli.

could reflashing the efs sort this? if so where can i download it? cause i can't find the efs.rfs anywhere...

error messages in android system recovery as follows:

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:check_selective_file:can't mount /efs

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /dbdata (invalid argument)

Media files copy failed.

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs

Multi-csc applied failed.

i have tried all the options in the recovery menu and none have helped...

melli.

ok i have now got my phone working again with a few hours tinkering thru heimdall. but now i have no imei number its just blank... any ideas? i have tried every rooting method ive managed to find on here so far none work so i can't edit the stuff in the efs partioion anyway. any other ideas???

melli.

now i have the phone working but have a blank imei and cant find any way to restore it.

when i go into recovery mode i still get:

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:check_selective_file:can't mount /efs

-- Copying media files...

Succewwfully copied media files.

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs

Multi-csc applied failed.

so it seems i still have an invalid efs partition. any idea how i can fix this? ive tried loads of rooting methods and none work... so i cant even copy from another efs partition on another phone.

Which distro for android development could you suggest to try, other than Ubuntu?

Will Arch, Slackware, Backtrack, Mint, Fedora work?

I'm using Backtrack, but just in case of tools included, its based on ubuntu too but this one isn't best for everyday use.

I have Mint on CD, Ubuntu via Wubi, Arch via VirtualBox, and just downloaded Slack, now waiting for new Fedora too and I'm cofused of all of this distroch, which would be good for everyday use to switch from Windows7.

I used Fedora 12 on old PC and I had problems with drivers, where Ubuntu was just fine.

Ubuntu now has Unity which I hate, thats the main reason why I want change.

Arch, I've installed it just on VirtualBox as I can't describe myself as complete Linux expert, nor beginner (I dont want to mess up partitions) but its working pretty fast and need a lot of time to set it up, but everyone tells its nice and I can't feel really why its better than another distros, most linux are the same but Pacman here is nice tool.

I've used Mint but there most confusing problem for me is that it's based on Ubuntu so its 2nd remake (mean Debian>Ubuntu>Mint), which can be unstable, because first Ubuntu days wasn't best and its young distro and I don't want to switch in a month to another distro due to unstability or errors but I really enjoyed using it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, since you said other than Ubuntu, I'll have to recommend Fedora.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesaj:
Oh I forgot that if other GUI is viable for development I can also switch to Kubuntu or other KDE/LXDE/XFCE desktop distro - I hate Unity the most in Ubuntu.

[Acer Iconia A500] Tautvaldas:
Download file manager to your PC, then move file manager.apk to adb folder then connect your iconia to PC via USB, then open cmd and type :

cd adb

adb install filemanager.apk

then you should have file manager on your iconia. sorry for bad english.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch13ft41n:
Hello, I have updated to Cyanogenmod 7.1.0. (stable version) and installed gapps on my phone (HTC Legend, rooted) but after that android market didn't work. So I decided to reinstall gapps with recovery thing (vol. down + power button) and after that some strange artefacts started over phone's screen. So, when I power up phone it behaves normally but I can't access my SD card (goldcard) and in settings > storage > is says that "total space" and "available space" are unavailable and I can't press mount SD. When i try to mount my phone via USB cable on pc, only USB debugging pops up and i can't mount my internal or SD card storage. After some time even USB debugger is stopping to work.

I tried to factory reset it but it didn't help. When I plug in my phone i get errors like "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" or "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Also, when i shut down my legend and power up it , the first "htc" white screen keeps blinking untill i plug usb cable and then i can normally enter in ROM.

Can you please help me with my problem or do you think that my phone became a brick?

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

That should fix your SD card not being detected."

[Android Themes] StormwaveUK:
Introducing my latest project, the Honeycomb Skin Maker and Tablet Skin Installer.

Honeycomb Skin Maker can modify SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to allow skinning system files on honeycomb tablets. Paired with the Android app "Tablet Skin Installer" skins can be applied easily with virtually no hacking required.

All images within these two APKs can be modified, and the XML files inside are modifiable to allow much greater skinning possibilities than previously possible.

Honeycomb Skin Maker can make .androidskin files which must be placed in the "Skins" folder on your internal SD card. This folder is created automatically when "Tablet Skin Installer" is first run.

The app requires root, and I can't give enough warnings about the potential to damage your tablet with this program. Ensure you have a method of recovery before attempting to install / make a skin.

Download Honeycomb Skin Maker for free from stormwave.me.uk/AndroidSkinInstaller/

(I can't post links yet).

It is still early days for this project and I have many ideas on how to expand it, but all feedback is appreciated and will be taken onboard.

First Post... be nice...

I really miss the "transparent" background on the homescreen icons like on the default TW on the EPIC 4G... also the truncated text is annoying. Is this a XML edit? Can someone point me into some reasonable direction for a neophyte.

I am a "lurker" on this site and have never posted a request. I have loved the support on the EPIC and now on the TOUCH. Many thanks coming your way...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
if you mean the black box behind the text on the homescreen. its a png file that can be set to clear to get rid of it.

when i get home i'll look up the name and location if you want

as for the trunc. text it would be an xml edit but i don't know where it would be located.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bgabel:
I would love to know about the PNG. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
I'm pretty sure the icon is in

system\app\TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

in the \res\drawable folder

and it's called icon_shadow.png

but i may be wrong :)

you could try replacing it with this (attached) and see what happens

just back up the one in there first. (or make a copy of the whole touchwiz launcher apk first would prob be easier)

i've got touchwiz deleted off my phone cause it doesn't play nice with my transparent statusbar mod. or i'd give it a shot.
