So a lot of us probably have our nexus one warranty expiring soon.

Mine died last week, didn't drop it or anything, sent it in for repair with HTC and recieved a quote to do the repairs back.

my warranty for my nexus one is until jan 4th and they won't replace my phone and they wanted to charge me for the repair

£150 for the mobo and another £50 for the plastic casing.

I didn't even drop it it just stopped working and the screen wasn't cracked.

It's a refurb unit as it is i had to get it rapaired last year in the states and they did it no problem

I have a new phone now from work, but i still want the other one back so I opened up a chat with their support.

Here's what they said for your entertainment.

HTC Girl: The engineers have determined that there is illegal software on the device which has voided the warranty also the screen was cracked. This is why the repair is chargeable and a quotation has been sent.

HTC Girl: It says the device was unlocked and illegal software was put on it.

Me: no illegal software was put on it

Me: there was custom builds of software put on it

HTC Girl: If the boot loader has been opened on the device or unlocked on the device this will place the device out of warranty.

Me: they're not illegal

HTC Girl: Yes they are.

Me: according to what law?

HTC Girl: Any custom or cooked rom's are not 'illegal' but they void the warranty on the device

Me: so how are developers supposed to develop on phones?

HTC Girl: Due to changes made to the operating system, these are not warranted by HTC and we cannot be sure if any damages to the phone are caused by these changes. For example things like overclocking, NO manufacturer will support this

HTC Girl: They understand the risks involved. They are usually given the phone by company's

HTC Girl: Also they are covered by insurance

HTC Girl: As a developer you would know this.

Love how she gets fresh with me at the end, clearly she loves the power trip.

So I guess as usual, the consumer loses, the phone worked great for two years but @%&)* them if they think i'm going to pay for it to be repaired when Samsung are clearly making better phones now and even Google have got rid of them. Just so you know I don't hold anything against the support agent, she's just doing her job although her tone isn't appreciated...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snandlal:
Sounds like she regulated you bad. Yikes!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xcmeathead:
Seems fair to me. We all know the deal when we unlock our bootloaders. I'd be looking on the plus side - now you need a new phone just as the Galaxy Nexus is out :)

Most of the root-friendly APKs I've tried don't allow you to pin videos (ie save them to your device). I started using "temp root remover" from the market instead. It basically makes your phone look unrooted, allowing the video app to run like normal.

I like it because I just use Google video from the market and i can get all of the features from it. It is only a minor annoyance to run the root remover first- not really a big deal for me. Root remover doesn't require a reboot or anything so it's quick.

Anyway, it is another option.

Hi,

I rooted my TF101 using Razorclaw, then i installed Recovery Installer, i can enter CWM and make nandbackup, everything is ok.

BUT

When i want to use ADB in APX mode, the TF doesn't appear in the devices list.

Asus Sync is installed, the USB Debugging option is checked (i unchecked and checked it again) and when the TF is booted in normal mode, i can see it in ADB :

I can see it in the device manager :

When i switch to APX mode, in the device manager i have :

(it seems the drivers are ok ?)

=> no device listed

I made "adb kill-server", "adb start-server", no more device listed

As soon as i reboot the TF, it appears again in the device list and i can go to the shell :

Is there an issue with B70 sbkv2 or CWM ?

Do you still access ADB in APX mode with the same config ?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for that, i was thinking i should at least see the device.

But I understand now, bootloader mode does what it's made for and nothing more ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] jeffp25:
I've seen many people complain that they wish the Iconia had a full-size SD slot and not a microSD one. Today, I realized that microSD can be a big advantage.

My wife is on a school trip this weekend, currently on a bus with 60 high-schoolers. She just called because she realized that she'd left behind some important instructions that she's supposed to read to the kids on the bus. I can e-mail them to her, but the problem is that the tablet (my Acer Iconia) doesn't have a WiFi connection on the bus and lacks 3G so she can't receive the e-mail there. The instructions would be too small to easily read from her phone. Fortunately, her phone is an Android one with a microSD card. So, I've e-mailed her the instructions - she can save them on the microSD card, swap the card into the tablet, copy the file to the tablet's memory, and then return the cards. This will put the document on the tablet, where she can easily read it.

This made me realize that a similar solution would be useful with photos. I can take the photos on my camera, copy them to the tablet and convert the RAW images to 800x600 JPGs. Next, I can put the JPGs on a microSD card in the tablet's card slot and then put that card into an Android phone to e-mail them as desired. True, having 3G on the tablet, or setting up tethering with the phone, would be better options, but neither are available to me at the present. So, this will be a great solution - when I replace my iPhone with an Android (I hope to have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE/Skyrocket soon).
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Thanks for that post. It just shows how far we have come with technology over the years and how tablets are becoming part of every day life.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Just be careful putting the SD card in and out of devices. I think the locking tab on most micro SD cards is much too small and will wear off. This will make the card not hold in.Safari as the Iconia its tough to get micro card locked in .for me anyway.I don't think micro slots should be mechanically spring loaded to small to work correctly.

You can do Bluetooth file sharing between tablet and iteration non android devices.just pare them. I think you have to send the file from the phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] nfazz:
From my touch pro2 i send files to the A500 via bluetooth. Im sure you can do the same with a android phone. I wouldnt go swapping cards from device to device.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Why didn't she just connect her Android phone to the USB port of your iconia via the cable? :D
[Acer Iconia A500] jeffp25:
Thanks, I'll have to give that a try when she brings the tablet back.
[Acer Iconia A500] jeffp25:
Well, that would have been possible, if she'd had the cable available on the bus.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Looking for my sd slot on my nexus s
[Acer Iconia A500] Cheasy123:
I've found that bluetooth usually works pretty well for transferring small files. It seems to be too slow to transfer larger files quickly, however. With files over 20mb in size I try to use a cable, or even a thumb drive with the acer.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

also, my Acer doesn't seem to recognize my android phone when I connect them via usb cable. I'm using an LG Revolution. Maybe it works on other phones, but maybe the acer just won't recognize another android os?
[Acer Iconia A500] kpfx:
Do the MicroSD cards have locking tabs? The ones I have dont.... thought it was only on the full size.

But aside from that... the OP had the exact same thought as me when I got my tab. Although i really wanted a full size SD slot for the extra capacity and to swap with my camera, I ended up using a Mini/Full SD adapter to use the Minis in my camera.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I bought this from my local Kmart and use the USB adapter in my A500 to read MicroSD from my phone or another tablet. Beats the crap out of actually trying to fiddle the one out from my tablet, and it has the bonus of being able to plug into my PC and my car stereo's USB port if I want to listen to music from it.

http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SDHC-Ad...J7FA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321670793&sr=8-2

Works really well and its a tiny little thing, I can leave it plugged into my tablets USB port all the time and it doesn't get in the way too much at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
You need to turn on USB storage on the phone!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Not write protect locking. Ian refering to the tiny bump on the side of the card that holds it into the slot.This is not used on many phones. But the Iconia SD card locked in by this tab.I have a SD card I used alot between two phones with music on it.this card will not stay in position on my tablet that lock (little bump on card) is worn off
[Acer Iconia A500] Cheasy123:
Even with USB storage turned on it won't recognize it! My computer can see both drives on my phone just fine but the tablet gets nothing :/
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
I intentionally bought a micro SD card + SD adapter for my digital camera so I can easily swap the card into my tablet to transfer photos over. Yes, a USB adapter would have done the job with a regular SD but this is one less thing to carry around. Now I can swap Micro SDs between my tablet, camera and phone. It feels good to be connected ;)

I'd err on the side of caution. After all, if one vegetable pizza is good for you, then five vegetable pizzas must be five times as good. Eat enough of them and you'll probably become almost immortal! :eek:

Slightly OT, but on the subject of Carrots.. most people have heard of the 'Carrots help you see in the dark' myth, right? (I'll assume there are some that didn't know it was a myth until i said it. Yeah sorry about that, your mum lied to you).

Anyway, not everyone knows how the myth came to be. It was actually a British invention..and for very good reason! In WW2 the Germans didn't understand why the Allied Pilots were becoming so efficient at intercepting German Bombers. They didn't know about the invention of Radar, and the Allies preferred that it stay that way.

So they had the Newspapers publish stories about how our pilots were eating loads of Carrots, after the 'discovery' that it helps you see in the dark. Of course it didn't take long for this factoid to reach German ears and they fell for it, hook, line and sinker!

Trolololooll. :)

Unfortunately, it's harder to undo the myth than create it in the first place!

I'll tell you now that i'm quite an accomplished cook, and one of my specialities is pizza! It's actually quite a healthy meal if it's done well. Forget all this processed crap you'd buy from a supermarket, or the disgusting rubbish from Domino's or Pizza hut!

My pizza's are freshly made using dough that i make from scratch, with extra virgin olive oil. The sauce is my own recipe; fresh tomatoes with onion, garlic and fresh herbs for seasoning. The toppings are always the best ingredients, i.e parma ham or fresh tuna and the best king prawns. I'll do a chicken and bacon using nice smoked, and dry cured bacon with quality chicken breast. Add some fresh chilli peppers and mushrooms and you have a well balanced meal with all the food groups covered!

Anybody who has ever had the good fortune to share one of my creations will tell you it's the best pizza they've ever tasted! If you've ever driven a luxury Mercedes, you'll know what it's like to jump back into a 'vintage' Ford Escort. The Merc ruins you for other cars. My pizza will ruin you for takeaway pizza forever!

The one thing i miss about not having my flat any more, is the hours i used to spend in the kitchen! Belting out tunes and getting hammered while conjuring up Italian/Mexican/Indian/Chinese cuisine.

Anybody else feeling hungry right now..?

BTW, Rib-Eye steak should have Salt, Pepper and garlic granules massaged into it before dropping it into a pre-heated pan, containing a dash of olive oil and a knob of butter. Two minutes on each side and served with beer-battered onion rings and ciabatta garlic-bread. (Freshly made ofc).*

Be happy to oblige! I don't do arty-farty cuisine though. It's grub for the common man, (me), that's substantial, tasty and healthy at the same time! For example my fellow brits will be more than familiar with the old staple, 'Bangers and Mash'. You'd think that a simple dish like that is difficult to improve in any noticeable fashion..but you'd be pleasantly surprised.

The mash, for instance, should be a mix of the best 'in season' spuds, mixed with Parsnips. Milk, not water, and farmers market, salted butter to create the right consistency. Grated Chedder cheese and chopped onion, fresh Parsley and cracked pepper are a must.

Sausages should be Cumberland's finest, not some cheapo Tesco Pork specials. Sweetcorn on the side and Beef Stock Gravy, (Secret Recipe), to top it off.

Filling, tasty to the max and great value for money! And yes, i would love to own my own restaurant! Next to being an Astronaut it's my dream job! :D

No, you ate carbs on Atkins, just not for the first two weeks.

Unlike a lots of fads, Atkins is actually a diet in the proper sense of the word ie "what you eat" rather than the most often used meaning of the word diet ie "losing weight"

After 2 weeks of no carbs, some protein (not loads, and lean protein not fat) and lots of veg, you then start reintroducing carbs.

The idea is to find the balance between fat, protein and carbs by using carbs as the calibrator as its effects are easiest to measure, whilst staying within your actual calorific needs.

When balanced you neither gain or lose weight, you're getting exactly what your body needs to function.

To lose weight you either reduce your carbs or increase your activity.

Once you've reached your target, increase the carbs and you return to balance.
