#1 --- Avoid Flashing Cooked ROMS on your phone...live with stock!!! I do and havn't had any problems at all..

Seems like there are more people complaining about all theses cooked ROMS and how they either work perfectly...or suck some way or another or have tons of glichs.

#2 --- Always, and I mean Always get $8 insurance on a Smartphone, in the long run this will save your ass...big time...

#3 --- People look at the 2 year contact price of the phone...not the really price of the phone (which is $549 I believe) and thats what gets them in trouble...ahhh my phones only $200 or less, I dont need insurance...yet if you break your phone you have a POS brick weight...that will now cost you over $500 to replace...or you could pay $8 a month and if something goes wrong, The Sprint Repair Center will fix it free...or replace it with a refurb unit....Even if you make a claim due to water damage or something, its still cheaper than the $500+ dollars you will have to fork out...

Your one smart guy John. You have helped me a several times with some responses to my questions and I really appreciate it. If your idea works you’ll make a quite a few people happy on here. Seen a handful of these issues with people flashing the Int versions. If this doesn’t work I would use the 9V battery idea and run it across the board.

I dare you to bring it to my store. Nothing gets passed a well trained tech. Your best bet is to go to an advanced exchange only store, the reps are not trained like the techs. Pay the 35 and call it a day. As for the microwave comment, solder points get a white residue on them after being microwaved, to a trained tech it looks like corrosion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Sorry, not to be n a@@hole here, because what happened to you really sucks, but if you screwed up your phone by doing something dangerous without doing proper research (ie: try to flash something designed for the European Galaxy S2 onto an Epic touch), why should Sprint eat the cost and give you a replacement phone? I mean you are basically asking for a way to cheat Sprint.

Something to consider. I really do feel for you and hope somehow someone comes up with a fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
the best easy to do what ur asking and not get caught would be to take a fully charged 18v battery from a drill, 2 wires either stripped on both end or to make it easier put alligator crimps.on each end and hook the battery to the terminals on back of phone where battery usually touches and then hit the power button on your phone. it will leave no trace and even if it does get powered up its well enough outside the read parameters to where nobody can catch it. ive seen this done already to atleast 7 or 8 phones. have fun

Pay to get it jtaged i don't know how many people have done this we are not illiterate? On topic leave it a a hit place my fiance forgot her phone in the car when it was hot really hot and it messed up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheShackSpecialist:
So sprint covers rooted phones but doesn't cover physically damaged phones......try telling the truth and not being an idiot and listening to almost anyone else here. 9v battery? Really?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eddiepapi:
Aren't you able to add insurance on your phone at any time??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yes you can but it would look suspicious if the phone needed work shortly after the insurance kicked in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
also a sprint tech, but at a preferred retailer. exactly how far does your phone power on? download mode? does it show the triangle/flash counter? does it power on to a custom recovery? if none, dont worry.... we cant tell otherwise. if it CAN do ANY of these things, we can tell. BUT, if you take it in, and they can tell but are ok with it, they can advance exchange it because the refurbish depot doesnt check for root... ive sent in dozens and dozens or stock rooted and fully rommed phones and have received NO chargebacks at my store... good luck man/woman!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sabatheman:
Hey guys, thanks a lot for the feedback. Actually, my phone is completely customed, yellow triangle, custom recov screen, all that. And the usb jig doesnt clear it nor does it clear my binary counter. My cousin's friend works at a sprint store and we're going in about an hour to see if he can just do a warrenty exchange for us. Wish me luck and thanks a lot guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jye75:
Funny how the rules of this site regarding getting paid-for stuff for free (warez) is a no-no, but cheating Sprint out of a phone because of your own stupidity is widely accepted. Must be because they're the big guys, and it's okay. SMH.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sabatheman:
UPDATE:

So my cuz and I went to the sprint store and his friend saw the phone and the first thing he asked if it was rooted, I said yeah. He couldn't fix it, but said he will take care of it when exchanging it and since I didn't have insurance, I had to pay the $35 warranty exchange. Furthermore, I added the insurance with the exhange, I am picking up the exchanged phone tomorrow because it had to be ordered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
Just say it got an update and it wont work then, dont admit to rooting, and hope the tech doesnt go into downloading mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I can say, and maybe some other people are thinking similarly, if you bork this replacement phone, you're going to have to wear the xda dumbass of the month hat and sit in the corner. Plus, we'll take your phone away from you and give you a flip phone.

Read, learn and don't get another wild hair up your ass to flash your phone from any other section besides this one.

Yeah, I'm being hard on you with some sarcastic humor mixed in. Dude, consider yourself lucky they hooked you up and didn't tell you, "too bad, we can't do anything for you." Be careful with the replacement and good luck.

Download the zip go into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik flash the zip and reboot. If your on MTD then you do the same cept before flashing you go into mounts and storage mount /system then go and flash then unmount /system and reboot. If ur not on mtd then this will be for uture refrence.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BThomas22x:
First you have to find a theme that's compatible... There's a lot of themes in the themes section, but you have to make sure it's compatible with your ROM. After you find one, you download it and put it on your sdcard... Reboot your phone into recovery, go to "install from sdcard" i believe it is, then you find the theme on your sdcard, and you flash it. When it's done flashing, you just reboot your phone and it should be themed. Take note though, if you flash a theme, the themer may or may not have edited the framework.res and you may not have the same features. Most of the themers take care of it, but just to be safe, it may not be the same.

First I followed the directions in this thread then installed CleanROM using the directions in this post and now my wi-fi isn't working. I tried doing a factory reset from recovery mode but it didn't work.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
You need to flash the kernel again after you flash any new rom. If you are using the stock kernel, you need to flash that. If you were using ziggy's kernel, flash that one.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Kernels can cause issues because when we flash a ROM the kernel is not changed. You must make sure you flash the correct kernel for the ROM after you flash the ROM.

Using ziggy's kernel without also flashing the proper modules into the ROM causes wifi error.

Others have had this issue, do a quick search for kernel and wifi error, you will find more detailed info.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Agreed. All of your answers are in the CleanROM thread. And if not, Scrosler is very responsive to questions over there.
[HTC Rezound] Tikerz:
I have the opposite problem. Was on stock using Ziggy's kernel. Flashed another ROM. Ziggy's kernel worked fine. I want to flash back to stock kernel, but no matter which way I do it, I lose WiFi.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iahaleem:
Hi everyone,

I've searched around the forums about wifi connectivity issues on the Touchpad running CM7, and while I've found some similar scenarios, I'm not sure if they are the same issue I'm having.

The wifi signal on my TP is incredibly weak. Unless I'm in the same room as my wifi router, signal strength always teeters on low to unusable. I've tried all the tricks I could find on these forums, changing wifi channels, using Wireless-G only, using wireless-N only, wide channels, standard channels, No security, WEP security, WPA2 security, even moving the router to another part of the house. However, the signal strength is still incredibly unreliable on my TP.

In comparison, my iPhone, both laptops, and 3 desktop computers all connect with great signal in any place around the house.

I'm currently using Xronified v2.9 ROM, and I've also tested this on CM7 Alpha 3.5. Both OSes could barely maintain a connection if they got a signal at all. WebOS has a stronger signal, but not even full bars when I'm in an adjacent room to the router. That seems strange to me.

Can anyone confirm or deny that they have similar issues with wireless strength? I'm asking to see if the TP is like this by design, or if I have a dud TP that I should get replaced by HP. I even tried opening the casing and reseating the wifi antennas with no success. I've also ordered a new dual band router to see if that will make any difference. But that will only help when I'm at home, it won't help when I go anywhere else.

Any advice would be appreciated, and if I somehow missed a similar thread that exists, my apologies for double posting. Thank you everyone for your support!

Hi guys been reading on forums about att automatically detecting smartphones but some say its ok if the phone is unbranded and some say any phone it might be ATT will be able to detect it...

My Question is

I have a Nexus s i9023 bought in india now i am in USA i already bought an ATT connection which i am using on a samsung [dumbphone](i activated the sim with the imei of that dumbphone) ..I would like to know if ATT will be able to detect my phone as smartphone if i switch that sim onto my Nexus S and activate a dataplan??

PS: i will disable data by all means...using CM7.1..will use Wifi only

My Galaxy Nexus is due to reach me tomorrow. Got a sweet deal for 199 from wirefly keeping my unlimited data. Had the 175 deal from letstalk but after they pushed my date once again to 1/12 i ordered from wirefly.

So anyways tonight will be the last night for the incredible to be an active phone. Beyond that it will become my backup phone... maybe video player at office.

I was on the fence too but got disappointed by the fact that its a CDMA phone.. I was really hoping for at dual CDMA/GSM compatibility....

If you want to mess with ICS while still on the DINC, Kushdeck's rom is fairly stable and can definitely be used as a daily (which i do currently). Its nice to be able to run the latest android on a 2 years old (almost) phone :P

Ok, my HTC Trophy is about to die on me and I need another phone. I'm on Verizon. Should I just get a replacement Trophy or should I hold out until April when the Lumia 710 is rumored to be released on Verizon? My phone still works as a phone still its just glitchy as ****. I shouldn't have tried to fix it and should have just bought another one lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Well, that all depend on how long you are willing to put up with the Trophy. What's wrong with it anyway?

wait till after ces then decide
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
Dead Spots on touchscreen and sometimes the touchscreen and capacitive buttons stop working all together. Its useable though, just have to lock and unlock the phone to revive the touchscreen. The dead spots are permanent though. Also, the digitizer is being held on by tape. Finally, there are 2 cracks on my phone's digitizer. I attempted to repair my phone's LCD and Digitizer once but ever since it has been giving me hell. I'm ready for something new.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
My Trophy has been good to me, It runns all my hacks and mods. ;) The Lumina looks good too but if you are thinking about unlocking it and such, make sure you are able to do so before you buy it if you decice to go with it.

If you get a replacement Trophy, I'd probably try and find one used and fairly cheap off contract, so you're not kicking yourself if Verizon actually releases an Apollo device this fall.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cmacmd:
Buy another another LCD and Digitizer. My LCD were broken and also the digitizer. I've repaird it for 59€ (i've bought the replacements on eBay), but the LCD is not original.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
I think that since Nokia is big around the world many a person will try to hack the thing. Didn't some of the WindowBreak project guys get free Lumia 800s?

I tried that before. It was a great learning experience, however I think im just going to let the phone die a peaceful death now. The LCD is good to go but the digitizer needs replacing.

Anyway, I got an OG Droid but i now learned how much better Windows Phone 7 is to Android. That **** sucks (excuse the language). Everything is so complicated compared to WP7. Getting the Droid made me love WP7 even more *cries*. At least it will hold me for awhile. And I get to play Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2. Someone needs to get to work on a PSX Emulator for Windows Phone 7.

Still not quite working

So i followed all the steps in this guide as well as the Kindle Fire utility Thread.

But when i get to the step 10 and 11 it says that Device not Connected.

adb tells me device not found, I've checked the c:/users/uname/.android/ and the adb_usb.ini file has 0x1949 in it.

under Device manager the kindle shows up under android phone as an android adb interface. No yellow ! or anything

Why is the device suddenly not recognized

not sure where it went wrong, i just want to remove the ICS 4.0 launcher.

I'm not wanting to root it, i'm sure once the ICS 4.0 is gone i could root without problems.

Am i missing something? I only downloaded the KFU, do i need to download android sdk or adb, i was under the impression that the KFU is all i needed.

Any help is appreciated

Stupid ICS 4.0 Launcher has really messed things up fore me.

Ok sense i couldn't get the adb stuff to work, i noticed that when i plugged the kindle in, right before the connected to computer message came up, it showed the notification tab very quickly so after about 30 mins i finally got the timing right with unplugging and repluging it to hit that bar in time and i uninstalled the app. :D

Took way too long, but at least i can use it now.

[General Questions and Answers] lewwy:
So my Galaxy S2 got hit by a wave, and after a bit of isoproponal the phone boots but the screen doesnt work :(

So I'm wondering where to go from here. I've had a look at the Galaxy Nexus, and on paper it doesn't seem that great. Going from an 8MP camera to a 5MP camera just so I can have ICS doesn't seem like a good trade off, especially when the SGS2 is getting ICS anyway.

Is there something I'm missing here? And are there any upcoming devices that would be worth waiting for?

Honestly I'm a little dissapointed in the Android lineup at the moment. Every phone seems to be the same, with all the exy ones having 1.2ghz (or more) CPU and HD video recording, which is awesome, don't get me wrong. But I've gone back to my old Nokia N900 which has features like manual focus in photos and being able to remotely shutter my Digital SLR, which are amazing features. But as Nokia doesn't support it anymore and the OS is a bit clunky, I'm thinking about getting something else......

So...thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Unlawful:
Well hopefully the Samsung SGSIII is coming out the first half of this year so that would be worth the wait if you liked the SGSII. Other vendors should be launching new phones very soon with CES and MWC coming up.
[General Questions and Answers] empiire:
Galaxy Nexus seems good to me.

Stock 4.0.x right out of the gate, HD screen, good sensor for a 5MP camera (remember, megapixel count isn't everything), no capacitive buttons, curved display is amazingly eye-easing (to me at least), and I'm sure plenty of devs across the world will be developing for it quickly. Why not? It's the king of Android.

If you can - maybe consider the Droid RAZR too. I'm not a fan of the stock ROM but of course you wouldn't be on XDA if you weren't looking for something better than the usual. Super thin, 8MP shooter, Kevlar made, very light, seems like a great phone to me too.

Those are my top two choices, if I had my pick. EVO 3D for now. :p

If nothing else sounds good - wait on CES for all the April/May announcements and releases.
[General Questions and Answers] lewwy:
Thanks for that. What about the gorilla glass on the SGS2? Is the Nexus going to scratch easier?

Also did you mean to say that megapixels "isn't" everything?

I don't think I'll be truly happy until I get a phone thats like the Nexus with a FM transmitter and IRda... and physical keyboard :(
[General Questions and Answers] KonceptB:
It's true that megapixels isn't everything. But the SGS2 does have a great hardware set that it fully capable of doing what the Galaxy Nexus can do.

I get zero shutter delay with Camera FX from the market without a problem and I'm currently running an acceptable daily alpha of CM9 ICS 4.03.

WARNING. ICS is really really addicting. You won't want to go back ;)

I'd stick with getting another SGS2 or get a Galaxy Nexus. Both will retain their value well. I'd be selling this year to get something better.

I have a feeling it is going to be a big year for hardware innovation:D
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
In terms of cameras in general, megapixels don't mean everything, but with a mobile sensor, there is only so much you can do with it, that megapixels do mean the quality, more or less now. Anyways, personally I would say just go to a store and try out some phones if you can. If you can wait I'd say the sgs 3, if you can't i'd recommend the sgs 2, but since you already had one and experienced it, maybe you should try something else like the razr or another OS persay, like WP7.
[General Questions and Answers] empiire:
I think the Galaxy Nexus has the proprietary 'reinforced' glass or something, the equivalent of Gorilla glass. I wouldn't worry there.

Yeah I meant to say isn't haha... oops!

Eww physical keyboard... can't do it! Thickens the phone too much. And when keys stop working = not good. Yuck.
[General Questions and Answers] ashishling:
Razr... Should get ICS soon imo!
