If it makes you feel better (probably wont) I feel your pain...almost. Today my wife went to use the bathroom with her et4g that I just got her a few weeks ago in her back pocket and it took a dive straight into the toilet. I even told her to be careful with that because its the most common water damage "oops" I see from females coming in my store!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I feel bad for you. I've dropped my E4GT a few times and there's not a scratch on. No case no screen protector on mine. You must have dropped it just right or wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Same!

Good luck to you thread starter
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Really? I've never known them to do a repair for damage for free. Normally they examine the phone for dents and signs of droppage and try to blame ANYTHING on that problem so you have to go through insurance. But I've only known them to do physical repairs for free on hardware problems not related to user error. A cracked screen would definitely get insurance status, and they'd merely charge you the $100 in-store for the repair instead of making you wait two days for Asurion to ship it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
I just filed a claim... cracked my screen but it still worked... Sprint told me since it was longer then an inch, so I couldn't get the screen replaced at the repair center. bs

Said the samething when my EVO cracked. Repaired it myself then traded it for this phone because I broke the volume button. Stupid reason but no I miss my EVO, did everything I wanted to and more. Try fixing the phone yourself first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
I have never had to pay for a replacement due to physical damage (not water) and have had multiple cracked screens either repaired or the whole phone replaced (on other phones).

Seriously try a different repair center, I actually have the best of luck with 3rd party ones. If they can't repair the phone they just do an advance exchange and call me a few days later when the new phone comes in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Don't you pay for 3rd party?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
The plastic seidio type cases suck.at absorbing shock. That's why u need a tpu like case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skykc0401:
Man sorry to heard that.! I got my phone from best buy with 10dollar amonth insurance. 2$more than de sprint but they got better coverage and no deductible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Sorry meant 3rd party sprint repair center IE not a corporate store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
They dont replace lost phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Never heard of those.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
You might not have realized they were 3rd party. You can check on sprints website
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
I tried 2 different third party repair stores & none if them have the screen. I couldn't find the screens anywhere to try to fix it myself. I did find a teardown site which said that the screen is fused together with something & they had to use a hair dryer to get it off & some careful pouring with guitar picks. They also said that it would make the screens very expensive. Sprint used to fix screens under tep. They changed this about 2 years ago. All the corporate stores I called wouldn't even touch it. I don't know why they wouldn't do an in store swap. They just handed me a card with asurions # & said call this & make a claim. This will be my 3rd claim in a years time, do i well lose insurance for a year. I am not a person to fraud the insurance, but have had bad luck. I guess I'll have to take better care of my phone from now on. I might just take it back & get it through Best Buy. I'm stool within my 14 day trial.

Hey listen, I HAVE BEEN WAITING TEN DAYS FOR SPRINT TO REPLACE MINE, I asked them to charge a battery for me and picked it up the other day, I STILL DONT HAVE A NEW PHONE, but thank god my broken one works (wont recharge)

Heres to hoping they get you a new one FAST!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ranger093:
Sprint most likely will never stock the screen. I'm a technician and the device takes too long to take apart and its hard not to ruin the case on it when you take it apart. By the way YOU dropped the phone and YOU cracked the screen. That would be like smashing into a random pole and expecting not to have to pay anything to have your car fixed. Sprint's policy on accidental damage includes cracked screens and we normally would push towards the insurance deductable....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazyjunk:
On my TP2, screen got cracked couple of years back. Sprint charged 35 and replaced the phone.

As per the rep, they try to prepare. If they don't have the screen, they will send a replacement.

Try at a corporatestore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Your still in your 14 days? Take it back and tell then u don't want it. That's why u have 14 days to see if u like it. Then go get it from best buy.

Sprint store here in Ohio told me 30 days.. I just had one swapped out for touch screen issue and she said I was within my 30 day period.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
The really funny thing is that my repair center says they aren't allowed to open up the phones. They simply order a replacement. According to them their purpose is to verify the damage and replace if need be.

That has always been the case where I live. Interesting.

Any Spring techs here to verify if they actually crack open the phone.

Edit: just say Rangers post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DexterDawg:
Read your policy again. Sure glad you don't work at my Sprint store. Screens are covered without insurance. Also your car example doesn't really apply. I have insurance with no deductible on my car.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
When I started at Sprint we used to replace the evo screen , but from what I undersatnd it got way to expensive as the evo screen cracked just by blowing on it haha lol :p as for the touch in my opinion not a chance. I had soft bricked my phone 2 weeks ago took it to the local service and repair to get it fixed they were obviously dumbfounded and said they would order me a new one after they got approval which took 2days and I barely got a call yesterday just to say that it is still on back order!

Sorry to jump on you but there is not a chance that any company little lone sprint say oh yea its cool just drop your $500 phone and if it breaks we got you !! lol lmfao thats the dumbist ish Ive heard anybody on this forum say ! The screen is covered by manufacture defects and software/hardware issues not caused by the owner :eek:

Cracked screens covered LOLOLOL:p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
I take it you've never heard of TEP? Maybe you should google it.

http://bit.ly/rwv6I1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DexterDawg:
Three things, one you are wrong, two they do get paid to do this from a portion of the 8 dollar premium and three the reason they do this is because a screen is cheaper than refurbishing an entire phone and only getting a small deductible.

I won't laugh at you though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Yea your right it cost sprint less money for them to refurbish your phone then it does for them to have you replace your phone through the 3rd party ins company asurion wow come on seriously. you broke it you pay to fix it its called srvice and repair not service and replace things you have broken with your carelessness.

Anyways over arguing with you its a moot point that will get us nowhere you have your opinion I have mine.

oh and sorry to hear about your phone as I truly understand how it feels RIP all my past EVO's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Dropped mine the other day too, i have a tpu on it and it just somehow slipped out of my hand in one of those WTF moments, landed screen down on gravel in my driveway. Just a very tiny hairline scratch on it only one, really dont even know if it came from the drop or if i only noticed it after searching for damage after the drop. Im lucky it was not worse.... good thing i have TEP lol....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DexterDawg:
What are you even talking about? It's all part of the TEP. There are many things that are covered that are beyond manufacture defects. That's why it costs money. Short of a completely smashed phone or water damage it is handled without deductible. That's why we pay for it.

Also this isn't my thread and my phone is fine.

OP I would talk to someone at another store. If they aren't carrying the screen they should honor it through advanced exchange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
TEP is insurance against this kind of damage. Do you have car insurance?

in·sur·ance Noun*1. A practice by which a company provides a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness, or death in return for payment of a premium.*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
I didn't expect anything. If you read ever post i posted it says it was my fault. I only tried to get it fixed to save the money. It's a service sprint used to offer. No harm in trying. I am willing to pay the deductible & am going through the process. I never said I expected anything. I fully admitted it was my own carelessness. Thanks for your input though.

CM powered EVO 3D, enough said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
If you pay for TEP you should expect the services you are paying for, which would include a replacement/repair.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
If you paid with Amex, they will cover the $100 for the first 90 days. I had them do that when dog ate the wifes phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
Replacement is being delivered today. Fedex website says by 3PM. Hopefully I get a brand new one instead of a refurb since it is such a new phone. I don't mind getting a refurb as long as it is as good as new! I wish that Sprint and Asurion would make a policy that if you have to use the insurance to get a replacement x amount of days after buying it you get a brand new phone instead of refurb. After x amount of days you will get a refurb if available. Just my opinion though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
Yep. Amex is awesome.

1- where is the status bar? oh wait... "status bar not responding" oh... force close issue :S

2- i'll try fixing the status bar issue by rebooting... WHAT?? i can't turn off my phone... it reboots direcly into "google" splash screen!!

Wipe. In either hboot or recovery. Whichever one you can get into. Flash something more reliable. A stable cm build. I'd say the latest nightly, but I don't want to sound like a broken record.

Never again load something from rom manager's list
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
LOL... ok

i reflashed the latest ILWT CM7 and everything went back to normal...

just one last question: i usually wipe dalvik cache and flash a ROM...

should i wipe data if i flash a new ROM?

and should i wipe data if i update a ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
General rule of thumb:

- when switching to an entirely different rom (or if you switch to a rom by a different developer, e.g. bulletproof miui to osimod miui) it's best (in many cases necessary) to do a full data/cache wipe

- when updating a rom one can generally assume to get by fine if only cache and dalvik are wiped, in this case extensive wiping should only be necessary if you encounter problems or the OP specifically tells you to do so.
[HTC EVO 3D] klubhead:
Rooted using revolutionary, downloaded a PG86IMG from one of the "unroot" threads, put it on root of SD, after trying to flash it across from "system" it says "Fail-UZ"..

now when i reboot i get stuck at the HTC screen.. any other way to do this? i tried to run an RUU too but keep getting a USB error (107 i think)..

any help's greatly appreciated :D
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i've never seen the fail-uz error message but this is a good indicator the PG86IMG.zip file was corrupted.

would suggest grabbing the RUU PG86IMG.zip and .exe files from this host: http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu/

the adminstrator is very good and reliable. they might even provide a md5sum value on their download page, can't remember.

you're following the process correctly, just need to make sure you get a proper copy of the PG86IMG.zip file!

good luck!

I just unrooted a 3D 5 minutes ago using the zip from here. I used Revolutionary to S-Off it and I was using Hboot 1.40 I think. Everything worked fine

I just purchased an HTC HD2; which came with a dual boot of Windows Mobile and Froyo on the SD card.

I wanted to install CM7; but I'm new to the whole process and I have heard various methods of installing it; either on the SD card, NAND, or RAM?

What are the pro's/con's of each? Which would you recommend?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] robrob777:
Go with NAND and MAGLDR.

RAM builds are kinda obsolete now.

SD Card.. uses more battery and cannot mount the phone as USB mass storage.

Latest ROMs, tweaks etc are in NAND.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cyperninja:
NAND hands down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I would recommend trying multiple different ROMs on SD (e.g. CM7, MIUI, Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5 etc.) on SD, then, once you've selected a ROM, flash a similar NAND ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dsmatrix:
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I've heard some rumors that NAND has some issues so I wasn't sure.

Is NAND the ROM?

Since I will most likely do a NAND flash, this would be the best guide right? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948)

Also, the phone is currently SIM-Locked;I wont be getting the unlock code from the buyer for another day, would I still be able to flash the phone and THEN input the unlock code after without screwing up anything?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matoflash:
yeah, that one guide is great.

I would personally advise you to try out the clk versions, it acts more like a native android device. Also, with clk you will be able to use clockwork mod recovery, which makes things a lot easier.

I'm using AmeriCanAndroid, and I couldn't be happier about it.

But anyway, for sure go for the Nand version, that means that android will be installed as the native operation system, formatting the internal memory and getting rid of windows mobile. You won't need it anymore. :)

P.s. Just to make things clearer: nand is installing android on internal memory, clk and magldr are types of bootloaders to use and install nand android through.

Sent from my HD2 using my fingers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
I would recommend using a NAND based ROM over an SD. Uses less battery and is smoother running, unless you just have to have WM. And if an issue arises, a NAND based ROM is easy to back up or change out to a different ROM. On your question on unlocking your phone, the process is independent of whether your phone is on WM or Android. The procedure to unlock the phone is based on the IMEI number of the phone and uses hidden features on the phone independent of the OS on board.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dsmatrix:
Thanks guys. I just had a few more questions,

Is the guide that I posted compatible with a T-Mobile version hd2?

In terms of flashing, are there any big things to be careful about to avoid bricking your phone? (radio, etc?). Would there be any way to salvage a phone if something were to happen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
That's the guide I used to flash my T-Mobile US phone. So it should work for you as well. If something did happen to your phone, you can always flash back to WM. Follow the guide, you shouldn't find that you will brick your phone. As long as you don't flash the wrong radio. US phones use the 2.xx.50.xx versions and EU use the 2.xx.51.xx versions of radio. If you search for the radio thread, it will fully explain this and have the correct/latest radios available for download. Just don't mix them up and you won't brick your phone. Latest radio version for US phones is already in the guide that you posted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dsmatrix:
Thanks! The seller mentioned he flashed the latest radio, is there a way to make sure?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Actually, I would recommend this guide. The guide you posted doesn't involve CWM and is thus pretty much useless for modern ROMs.

And the Radio version should be in phone software info (if I remember correctly) under settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sagarjawaress:
I think it doesn't matter as far as your sd card is fast enough! I am buying new Tmous HD2 since i don't have to make sd ext for sense Roms and they took 1.5 hours to install on my wwe HD2! Big advantage of sd build comes when you dual boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dsmatrix:
Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm a bit caught up with work so I wont try flashing it till this weekend, thanks again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Go under Settings then About Phone and you should see a line called Baseband Version and should tell you after the underscore what radio you are using. Mine shows 2.15.50.14 which is the latest for a T-Mobile US phone.
[HTC ChaCha] marcotls:
Hi guys,

I'd like to underline a problem I have with some applications for camera, like Camera360, Camera Effects, Pudding Camera and so on.

Even if I set the display to not rotating (in other words, always landscape), those apps when taking a photo take it in portrait mode, and I have to rotate them manually with another program.

The strange thing is that while capturing the image is set in landscape mode (so I have the illusion that everything is working fine), but when saving the photo it is rotated by 90°, like it would have been taken in portrait.

Do you know how to solve this problem?

It is very uncomfortable to rotate manually every photo taken with those programs.

Hope you the best, thank you!

I'm using the latest MIUI official release as of the date of this post. I keep my phone in 3G only mode due to poor connection at work. At home connection would stay in 3G anyway. Works fine on touchwiz and cm7 roms.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Connection Setup is back in the marketplace, under HTC Apps as before.

Current version is 1.12 (build 2119.18323). I saw it because I was prompted to update.

This version *DOES* process \Windows\CustClear.proxml still, assuming you don't have the latest HTC Updates (the Mango ones). Therefore, it's usable for interop-unlock on HTC phones if you can upgrade to Mango without getting the HTC updates (try U2M7720 or just send the CABs directly).

Thought you all would like to know!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
I thought that interop-unlock is for Samsung,even though you even have connection setup you can't fully unlock your HTC device with interop-unlock in your device.:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Interop-unlock just means having the MaxUnsignedApp value above 300 in the registry. This allows installing and running apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Samsung or any other phone.

Heathcliff74 has released instructions for interop-unlock on LG phones, and an app for Samsung phones. The app is called "Interop-unlock" because that's what it does, but there's other ways to do it. Several other people have given instructions for doing it on HTC phones. It requires three things, though:

A CustClear.provxml file in the Windows folder. This typically means you have to roll back to pre-Mango to put the file there.

A working Marketplace (not sideloaded) copy of Connection Setup, which can process the CustClear.provxml file.

A working HTCFileUtility.dll driver, which typically means upgrading to Mango *WITHOUT* getting the HTC update that comes bundled with it (on HTC phones). You can do this by upgrading using U2M7720, or by deploying the update cabs directly, or by using a custom ROM (though those typically come already interop-unlocked).

After that, the steps are simple: place the CustClear.provxml file that will provision the registry value as needed, upgrade to Mango (sans HTC update), and run Connection Setup. The problem for a lot of people recently was that HTC pulled the Connection Setup app from the marketplace for a few weeks. This post was to let everybody know that it was back, and that it could still be used for unlock.
