[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
I was told that they aren't allowed to open the phone up for repairs for 3 months according to the agreement they have with Samsung. beyond a reset and battery replacement, they either give you a new phone for software malfunction or for physical damage refer you to an insurance claim. My buddy works in this repair center and tried to look for the screen part but nothing. I don't mind. I picked up a cheap screen protector to keep the glass shards out of my fingers til the replacement comes in. No biggie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
Huh, weird, dunno about that. But they swapped out mine pretty quick.

Sucks what happened to yours, I've always been paranoid about dropping mine, seeing this doesn't help my paranoia at all...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChristianBundy:
At Sprint we will get you a free replacement for defects if you have TEP - but if it's your fault (like a cracked screen, or water damage) you have to pay a deductible to the insurance. You can call them and find out at 1-800-584-3666. Sorry, man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
Same thing happened to me. Phone fell about 3 feet, the screen cracked, but mine wouldn't even turn on. The Sprint repair store wouldn't touch it. The Corporate store wouldn't swap it out and I had to file a claim. The good part is, Asurion sent me a brand new phone instead of a refurb. ifixit.com did a tear down on the E4GT and the Super AMOLED + screens are fused to the midplane. They had to use tons of heat and guitar picks to get it off, which will make for an expensive replacement part or repair since it is fused like that. Sprint DOES NOT replace screens anymore under TEP which is unfortunate. I guess it got too expensive, so now if you crack your screen you will be referred to Asurion.

Sorry to hear that. Any hardened glass is going to be more scratch resistant, but more brittle as a result.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdmobile:
After 3 days of tinkering I finally have my Webtop2SD working correctly with xfce and OpenOffice. The whole setup feels a little delicate, so wondering if there is any way to easily back up that partition? Should I just eject the card, place in my Ubuntu machine and do a "dd" on it or something?

Also, because I am still locked (until warranty is over) and can't use CWM backup to do a nandroid, where is the osh disk image stored so I can use root explorer to make a copy?

I apologize if these have been asked and answered. I did searches and did read the Webtop2SD posts from start to finish.

Cheers,

Thom
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe ferreira:
since your using webtop2sd your not using /osh

putting your sdcard in your ubuntu box and using dd should work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdmobile:
I did want to come back to report that I backed up the partition with dd and then restored the image to another card (with similar partitioning). The other card, once popped into the Atrix, had a working full restore. Thrilled to have this backup.

For those who care enough to read this (because you need to know how it was done).

1. Powered down phone and removed MicroSD with my Webtop on it

2. Went to my Ubuntu box, inserted card reader, waited for it to come up.

3. Opened Gparted to identify the device name, in my case /dev/hdc

4. Figured out where to put the image. In my case /media/LinBackup

5. Entered a command: sudo dd if=/dev/hdc2 of=/media/LinBackup/OSHbackup1.img

6. Patiently waited for it to complete. It was only a 3 gig partition so didn't take long

For restore, it's basically the reverse. Identify your devices / mounts and partitions

1. Entered a command: sudo dd if=/media/LinBackup/OSHbackup1.img of=/dev/hdc2

Now I need to see if it's possible to do a dd from within the webtop. I don't know if it does a snapshot (allowing for open / locked files to be backed up). It would probably be an easier way to do the backups. I now have a spare 8-gig card already loaded with a working configuration in case the one in my Atrix went belly up.

I hope this helps someone. Having not a single "thanks" (shameful), do thank me if this helps.

would it be webtop.img or osh.img in the update.zip file?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delmarvahockey29:
I've seen dual boot for other android phones, and I was wondering if it would be considered on the Atrix. That way you could boot into Moto's Rom to run webtop, and boot into a custom rom of your choice for functionality. This is by no means a demand, request, nor a necessity, which seems can be easily taken the wrong way on XDA these days. This is just a simple suggestion and idea for the very talented developers on XDA, since it seems the function would be very appropriate for the Atrix's use!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
There has been work done on the bootmanager app which does just that. As for a real dual boot I have no clue.

CM7 right now is the only rom without webtop that i am aware of and even that is being worked on.
[Droid Incredible General] Great Offender:
This has been going on for about 6 months.

Every time I flash a new rom the following things happen. This is the rule and not the exception.

1. The notification tone is always comes out preset to the first tone on the list, generally "Alpha.mp3". You can try to change it all day but it will not take a different tone. The only way to change it is to delete the first tone. Then your gtg.

2. The stock wallpaper from the previous rom becomes the wallpaper of the new rom.

Factory reset x3

Cache x3

Dalvik cache x3

If it took, you should have superuser in your apps drawer.

You can download titanium back up if you are unsure, it needs root to run, and will ask for permission to do so.

Otherwise you can get root checker basic.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
As you've discovered, much of this "stuff" isn't really complicated. The launcher is just another app that you can remove. One thing to remember with the launcher is you'd better have a 2nd (or 3rd and so on) installed !! :)

In the past, people would ask ROM packagers to include launcher "a" and someone else wants "b" and so on. Some packagers would make multiple versions to satisfy everyone !!

Oh, just to be clear, the method you used is perfectly okay. No harm at all. Technically, you could have opened the ZIP file that you downloaded, removed the included launcher, replaced it with the one you want, re-sign the ZIP file, etc, etc and then flash it. Your way is much easier...
