[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlock:
I believe I've done my due diligence in trying to find this by searching. My goal is to eliminate as many textbooks as possible from my backpack, but there seem to be a number of arbitrary walls in ebooks. CourseSmart and Kindle both carry the book I need. CouseSmart doesn't allow offline reading, which I need, and Kindle doesn't sell that particular book to anything but their cloud and a kindle.

So I try to open up the kindle cloud reader and their website only supports firefox 6+, chrome 11+, safari 5+ or Safari ipad ios 4+.

Thus my question is, is there a way to get any of these browsers to play nice with my xoom in such a way to make amazon show me some love?Either that or a way to circumvent CourseSmart's offline issue, but SourseSmart texts are more expensive, at least for my accounting books this semester.

32GB wifi only running 3.2.1

Links not allowed for a noob like me or I'd save you a trip to google with a link or two. If there's a thread on this feel free to throw rocks and sticks at me, as long as I can get the link as well.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycebo:
Why don't you just download the Kindle app?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlock:
The book I need is specifically blocked from being purchased on the xoom with the kindle app.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycebo:
Ah, I see. So you can read it from the Kindle Cloud Reader and not the Xoom? Very strange. What about on a smartphone?

I hate when publishers come up with these arbitrary rules.

Well, you're going to have to download a ton of browsers to the Xoom and see if one of them will let you load the cloud reader in desktop mode.

Feel your pain.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlock:
Tried smartphone, it still tells me my browser is not supported.

I would imagine if I can get an accepted browser to run, then cloud reader would think I am on a PC or rather that it doesn't care. I kind of gave up on this thread after a day of no responses, I'm currently using google to see if I can make linux run on the xoom which would then let me install firefox or chrome.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teameos:
Have you tried changing the user agent that the browser uses?

In honeycomb, you will need to browse to about:debug to enable the advanced settings and then change the user agent string in the advanced settings.

In ICS you can try the "Request Desktop Site" option from the menu.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlock:
That did it. I had tried this on firefox and dolphin but those didn't work. Not sure if I was doing it properly. I had read on the forums that dolphin was a better browser before I even got the xoom so I didn't use the default browser. It let me try as an ipad and a desktop using the wizard walk through, but didn't work. The website specifically mentioned chrome and firefox do I downloaded both of those with no success, but now I think they might work if I use debug. I can read my books now so I'll goof around more with other browsers on study breaks once school gets started.

Huge thanks. Between this semester and next fall this xoom might pay for itself in reduced textbook costs.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlock:
Thanks for taking a look around, but those are different authors. Finding free textbooks in current use would be a neat trick though.

I thought you were wondering about the subject matter. The only way to make sure you have the right book, normally, is the ISBN because all the books at this level seem to have the same name.

The book is 9780078136627

Occasionally you can look it up by authors, name, and edition, but my google always gets clogged up with other books of the same edition or other books by the same author(s).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:
Hey so I was using flash to watch something on Amazon Instant Videos and then it froze up and when I pressed the back or home button, the tablet froze completely and the screen just went black. I don't know what's happening because I can still hear the video. When I try to press the power/lock button, nothing happens and the screen stays off. Is there any way I can fix this or make it power off by itself?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrljt:
Hold the volume up button and power button down at the same time for a few seconds until screen goes blank.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:
That didn't work ;( My screen is already turned off and it won't turn back on but the videos still going because I can hear it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ILA970JOSH:
there should be a reset button on it, bottom left i think, it's mentioned in one of the papers that came with the tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:
Well it eventually restarted after me pressing the power button a million times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
glad you got it working. some apps aren't updated yet for this version of honeycomb or tegra3. sometimes they go on the Fritz. Google earth did that to me. after a while zooming in and out, it froze up on me n basically same thing happened to me. ended up rebooting the prime.

a fresh reboot, power off then back on again, wouldn't hurt. might get rid of some kinks or end a process that might've causing issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] agentg1001:

agreed try a diffrent USB cable to the motherboard not any front panels. if not you might need to reboot download mode with the USB cable in a new spot or with the new usb cable.
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I need to return my Rezound and swap it for another one. How do I unroot my phone properly after using HTCdev and flashing a recovery and all that? I need to return it tomorrow, just looking for someone kind enough to write a step by step guide for me on what to do, I'm sure it would help others out as well. I want to get rid of any traces. I appreciate all the help and time, thanks.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
I think u go back to ur stock rom and relock ur bootloader with htc dev, and probably do a factory reset......then i would set it up n check root just to make sure its unrooted lol. Like i said "i think" but im pretty sure
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
How do I do all that? Right now I'm on my stock still, I'm just rooted. Don't I have to delete SU and other files? I forget how to relock my bootloader :( too.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
As of now I am pretty sure you can't fully return it to stock. The bootloader will say re-locked instead of just locked, so basically you can return it and cross your fingers but most likely they will not honor your warranty.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
fastboot oem lock <-- will relock phone.

download the latest RUU, list of offical Vigor roms in dev section. Latest is 1.02, then you are good to go.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
^^^ what he said. But doing the fastboot oem lock to lock your phone will not lock your phone the way you need it to. It will say "Relocked" on the HBoot screen. Like the HTCDev website said and a bunch of posts here, once you unlock, there's no going back. Our warranty is completely voided. It will be just crossing your fingers if you try to return the phone. If you have insurance on it, you might want to just pay the deductible and get a new one that way. "Lose" your phone or "accidentally" drop it in the toilet. :D Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
I have a light leakage problem on my phone that is very noticeable at night... I'm going to send it back arguing that it's a hardware issue and not software related... Verizon should honor that right?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I don't remember where I read it, but someone on here spoke with an HTC rep who said that using the HTCDev unlock will void our warranty regardless of what the issue is, hardware or software. I can't see, though, how they could get away with that since it's clearly nothing that you have done. I would try it anyway.
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
I will call HTC tomorrow before I call Verizon... I think that I have a valid argument...
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
The leakage is obviously due to the LED lights that light up the red cap buttons... but I don't think that there should be any light leakage at all... its only towards the bottom... its almost as if they didn't seal it right because the right side is more noticeable than the left...
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
pretty sure it is the opposite. If it is an issue that clearly cannot be caused by root, HTC usually will take care of it.

Just like when calling verizon with issues sometimes, where you have to call a couple times to get someone willing to help you, I could see this being the same way.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Yeah, I agree. I just suggest the OP needs to call until he finds the answer he's looking for. The website says that "all or parts of the warranty" will be voided. I could understand if there's an issue with the processor or something. Having an unlocked bootloader means that we could mess up the processor, so they probably won't fix those issues under warranty since they couldn't tell if it was our fault. But a light leakage or sound issue is completely different. That is something that we couldn't necessarily mess up with an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
That leakage is probably going to be on every phone you get. It's been mentioned a lot on this site. There is an app you can download to toggle off the LEDs at night but I don't know what it's called. You should be able to find it with a search.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
agreed. Haven't had an lcd phone yet that didn't have some light leakage. Best bet if it bothers you that much is to get a phone that has an amoled screen.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Verizon first... the best bet is to hope they don't bother looking at the bootloader over something hardware related like that.
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
Will try looking for the app to toggle led lights... Sent thanks for the heads up...
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
If you find it will you post back here? I did a few searches in this forum last night and didn't come across it. If I find it I will post back here as well.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
That's probably the best idea, I am pretty sure all rezounds have this issue, don't know if it's worse for others but it isn't even noticeable unless it's night and the screen is completely black.

[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
An FYI.... Talked to Verizon... Apparently unlocking your phone voids warranty for both hardware and software related issues... That blows...

Guess I am stuck with this phone... Hope nothing goes wrong.... Love the phone though....
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
did they know from htc that you were unlocked??
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
No they didn't... I just played the dumb roll... Told them that I was thinking about unlocking but that I was worried about voiding my warranty... The rep said not to because it voids all warranty no exceptions...

I don't know if they will find out if you don't tell them or if they will ask HTC... Didn't ask...I didn't want him to note my account that I was asking these questions....
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
Well someone said that most store reps aren't going to check your phone for unlocked bootloaders. I returned my gnex and didn't even check the phone he just put it in a box and printed a label for it. Gave me a rezound with no hesitations.

About the pink lights. Is there anything I can really do about it? Can the open each box up until the find one with red lights? I mean I love this phone, not much wrong with it except that.

What is that app called that fixes the lights to make them red?
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
There's no app that makes the lights red, there is an app that turns them off if the light leaking onto your screen is bothering you.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Valid argument or not they have your esn that you unlocked your phone, I wouldn't call Htc I would just go to Verizon and pray.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
They only do hardware warranty for 30 day's and that's hardware.
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
I'm fine though..... Love my phone... I can get over the light leakage... No big deal...

What would have been hard to get over was that I actually almost exchanged this phone for a Gnex without ever seeing the Gnex in person... So before I pulled the trigger, I checked out a Gnex at a corporate store... Boy am I glad I didn't do the exchange...
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
i mad a post about this and got flamed for it when htc dev unlock came out but i guess now people are finding out the hard way.

in the post i explained that if you use htcdev tool to unlock your device your esn will be red flagged and put in verizon system as void meaning your void everything on your phone even if its dropped your going to need to out source to get it fixed the best solution to this is having bestbuy black tie insurance instead of verizon coverage because BB covers everything u could smash your phone in the bb parking lot in front of bb employees and they would have to replace it also they dont refurbish they will replace your phone with a brand new one in store if its determined it cant be fixed
[HTC Rezound] adavit:
So if I use HTC to unlock my bootloader if I have an issue with my phone I can't use my insurance either since the warranty is voided or is that a whole other matter? I ask this because I am almost ready to root but I want to make sure that if something were to happen if I drop it in the toilet or whatever I still have my insurance.
[HTC Rezound] alcantarvf:
I am not sure about insurance... I asked only about warranty....call and ask.... Play the innocent roll like I did...
[HTC Rezound] wapena92:
I'm sure warranty and insurances are 2 different processes but you can always do the suggested....

If anything you could wait until revolutionary gets to it... Rumors are they might be adding the rezound to there lineup
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
OK so I know a lot of people have this on their minds. Unlocking does void your warranty. However Verizon does the warranty service. HTC and Verizon cannot tell that you have unlocked your phone until they have it in hand. HTC can see that you applied for an unlock key, but not that you used it. Unlock is accomplished in hboot, where there is no way this side of hades that they get notification that you actually used it.

Verizon Resound Unleashed - rooted and Senseless
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
that is not an accurate statement. What it says is:

If you are returning the phone for an obvious hardware failure, you should be fine. however if the issue is a result of overheating or some other software related issue that a normal device that is not unlocked doesn't have, then you may have your warranty not fulfilled.
[HTC Rezound] Shahaed:
OP don't sweat it. If you are in your return policy then just return it. They won't cheek bootloader or anything.

I work for an indirect agent for Verizon, and no one else I work with is smart enough to check the bootloader, and neither is the girl in the back who resets the phones...

I don't know what corporate Verizon's process is, but I wouldn't worry about the clerks in the front noticing...

I'd be worried about the tech guy in the back who's in charge of resetting the phones to stock...

[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
VZW tech support contradicts that ??

Tech support told me about an hour ago (1/1/12 2am),

that the Official Verizon Wireless policy had changed.

They are now compliant with the federal rulings that

rooting a phone does not invalidate the warranty.

The support person said to take the phone to a 'real' Verizon

Wireless store and they can (a) capture your user data

to a private cloud server the created just for this purpose,

(they mean things like contacts and calender and presumably

user app and app data). (b) they will do a wipe and

reflash for you at the store and restore of what they backed

up for you. If whatever was wrong, is still wrong, (with the OEM

firmware), they will exchange the phone under the warranty.

Understand if reflashing fixes the problem, it was probably

a rom issue vs a hardware problem.

At least that was what was explained to me. I'd guess that's

why Rezound now appears in the phone list for HTCdev.com.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Hope this is true.
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
i would do a little more recon on this. but if its for real its about time verizon got with the times and stopped dickin there custumers over
[HTC Rezound] mcampos7:
Just left the Verizon store, Rep told me that it DOES NOT void warranty, he said most Verizon staff will tell you it will in hopes that you wont root.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Nice to know they'll lie to us in an attempt to manipulate us. :mad:

That erases any guilt I may have had about getting the unlimited data. (even though I haven't canceled mhs yet, but looks like I'm going to based on poor performance)
[HTC Rezound] littlebo:
Wazzup guys , the price of freedom is too high .. If they r playing dumbs : unlock = no warranty then why dont we just carefully fry it in microwave oven or supply a good portion of voltage on visible parts under cover and then play dumb too ;) ? There are tons of methods to hardbrick it to hide bootloader at all !
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
The warranty is voided by HTC. Also most of the reps at the store don't have a clue. I would get it in writting that unlocking doesn't void the warranty.

Could someone give me some detailed steps on how to uproot, I'm doing it tonight and going to return it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it goes but I want to make sure I uproot and lock my phone properly. Thanks guys hope everyone had a great New Year.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
First off there is no way that rooted, unrooted or damaged that they can deny the insurance claim. First it is through a separate company even though you pay Verizon, second its a pay insurance that stipulates if anything goes wrong with the phone even stuff the warranty won't cover or after the warranty (if its a manufacturer problem after the warranty they wave the deductible) it is covered. They can't say no to it because you are paying them for the added protection. I really wish people would get their facts straight on the insurance versus the warranty. The warranty is what the manufacturer garrentees to work in a certain amount of time. Most phones or electronics in general stop working after the year mark on problems so they warranty them against the ones that fail before hand.

I had a rooted Eris I unrooted and sent back for warranty, and it worked. But it didn't have a bootloader to unlock either. I think most people are right. The verizon people aren't going to pay enough attention to it so most likely it will work sending it back. However it would be nice to hear from someone who sent one in if it does work.

FYI as well, I have a Rezound that has no pink button or light leakage issues so I don't know if I am one of the few or not but I have had no issues whats so ever about anything except for an occasional reboot (I think its only happen 3 times in the month and a half that I have had it) but I think that had to do with an app hanging up cause it happened while in an app that uses more memory so not sure if there is a correlation.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
you should just be able to flash the stock ROM in the dev section. That will put you back to stock/ unrooted.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You know I haven't went and checked it out yet, is it really as cheap feeling as everyone says it is.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Warranty not insurance I thought was posted.
[HTC Rezound] azturbomini:
I had a g-nex for 3 days and in my opinion it felt cheaper than the Fascinate I used to have. To each their own. I like the Rezound much better.

I forgot to add I had to turn the g-nex screen brightness all the way up to become acceptable to me and still then the screen doesn't come close to the Rezound or the Fascinate (IMO).
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
i dont have any light leakage or pink buttons either man but i did have some random reboots about three but heard that was because of the network not the phone
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Every phone has light leakage at the bottom. I have looked at over 10 rezounds and they all do, it's a design thing. I find it crappy because my Incredible S didn't have this issue but I love the phone too much and I use screen filter to turn off the leds for long video watching.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
wasn't the incredible s an amoled device? They don't have lcd screens to have light leakage. Every lcd phone I've ever owned has had some light leakage.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Are we really talking about like leakage or the way the leds for the capacitive buttons can be seen when the phone is held off angle? I would call this a design flaw. Any light leakage around the bezel was extremely minimal on my device.

is there a app that can toggle the button leds when certain apps are launched? IE Netflix? Wish I new how to create apps:(
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
yes, I think that is what they are talking about, but I've seen it on every lcd android device because of the capacitive buttons.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't know if it toggles when certain apps are launched but Screen Filter lets you turn off the LEDs. I grabbed it but haven't used it yet so I can't clue you in on settings.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I say its a design flaw, because I would think they could put some sort of partition there to block that light? Or paint the that side on the LED's black, or something?

But it doesn't bother me as much as the interference on the 3.5mm Jack.

The headphone jack issues is why I haven't unlocked yet.

I'm going to give them until mid Jan on the 3 month anniversary I'll decide whether to pursue a replacement.
