Yeah I know that it usually has to be purchased within 14 days but they have a special open enrollment right now so I was able to add it. I also found that the copay information.

Your deductible is $130

Your bundle price is $7.99

Your insurance price is $4.79

Your warranty price is $3.99*

Your mobile security price is $3.99

Note: There is a $5.00 service warranty processing fee.

Either way you look at it the phone goes for $450-$500 all day long on ebay so $135 is not a terrible deal.

If that stupid bullet logo was not there I would be set. When I did factory reset it took off Clockwork recovery and without ODIN (ie my computer cant recognize the phone) there is no way to put it back on.

Thanks for your thoughts. I really don't see how they could deny the Protection plan claim but do feel that they could deny the warranty claim.

BLAH I just want a phone that works 100% normal.

Thanks for the info about the phone inspection process. The phone looks pristine but it would be hard to miss that custom boot unless you closed your eyes for 6 seconds while the phone boots.

I am leaning toward the Premium Handset Protection even if it is refurbished it should work better than the one I have.

I am not back on the stock rom and it SUCKS compared to Jag 4.1 - I got spoiled. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
You try to connect the phone in another computer? If not try that, because I help a friend of mine to flash with Odin. His phone was doing exactly the same as yours, and after changing ports on 2 different computers "BINGO" one of the computers recognized the phone with the Odin program and We were able to go back to stock kernel. Finaly he did a phone replacement for free with T-Mobile. Well he paid $5.00 fee.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Sounds like a windows driver issue to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shortbus1234:
Yeah I have no luck on 5 different computers. Tried all ports on all computers and still no luck. The crazy part is that they all used to work. I have installed and reinstalled all samsung drivers with no luck. Thanks for the suggestion but I am sad to say I already tried it with nothing to show for my efforts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Why don't you download the cwm flashable zips of the stock rom and kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
Run it over with your car. Tell tmobile you put it on top and forgot about it. Then pay $130 and get a new working phone.

Other then that idk whats ur problem again? Bootloop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Just flssh stock kernel through Odin. Thats it. If you cant find it reroot and flash stock kernel through cwm or flasv a stock ROM. Then Odin to stock and issue fixed. No unecessry payments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shortbus1234:
Ummm yeah that the problem. Unless you know of a wifi ODIN I am screwed. Windows does NOT recognize my phone. ODIN does NOT recognize my phone. Nothing works regarding any type of USB connection at all.

Thanks for trying to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shortbus1234:
New phone is on the way. Paid the $130. Should be here WED. I am wondering how bad to mess up my old phone? Any ideas? I am listening :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shortbus1234:
When I did factory reset it took off CWM. Without ODIN there is no possible way to put CWM back on :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
ohh okay, sorry, I didn't realize that was what you meant by factory reset. As in you put it back to stock etc. Because factory reset is also erasing data and not the recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] veritasaequita:
Not sure if Uve destroyed it yet and being as I own an epic 4g touch I'm not too sure of root options but have u had a look at the mobile Odin by chain fire in the market? Might b right up your alley.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CloudTown3:
Here is what I did to get a new phone. First, add the 7.99 insurance plan on it, then wait a few days to file an insurance claim saying you lost your phone, but before making the claim, take your Sim card out of your existing and put it somewhere. That's a very important step!!!! If you were using that Sim card at the time you make the claim, they would deny it!!! Don't report the old phone stolen, say it was lost do you can try to fix it backup phone, if you report it broken, u have to send it back, if you report out stolen, out well be blacklisted. Hope that helps!!!

If you read the original thread you would see where he had water damage and now windows won't recognize his phone anymore thus can't use Odin he is saying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] street954:
Where is the water damage indicator?

I had a VERY similar problem

Paid the 130$ to replace under insurance coverage after I got frustrated with the thing and 'missplaced' it.

Wonder what the market is like for a damaged handset...

Before the OTA update, I was able to use the Sense 3.5 Mail.apk from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320947

I followed the same steps as I did before, but now it just force closes. Is it possible in the OTA update, they made some modifications to the Mail.apk framework so this no longer works? Anyone else have any luck with this or know how to modify the new Mail.apk to bypass the PIN requirement?

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Miui has decided to go open source now and it seems like a great idea.

Can someone tell me what exactly it will mean for our phones if anything
[Vibrant General] demkantor:
My guess is more devs and more roms to pick from!
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
Among other things, it will mean that if the rom is loaded with spyware sending all your info to some PRC Army server in China, someone might spot it in the code. I would never run a binary-only rom: that's how Carrier IQ got slipped in.

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I just checked their website. It looks like they are putting up the source for a few apps, not for their Android code. I hope the FSF lawyers take a good hard look at them someday. The kernel at least is GPL; they can't legally distribute it binary-only.
[HTC Incredible S] MoCommodore:
I set my phone to lock and ask for password after 15 minutes and I do NOT want set it to "immediately", but I want to lock my phone (asking password for unlock) when I press power button (or a widget on screen).

I tied Lock Screen App, Lock Screen Widget, and Screen Off And Lock , but all of them simply set the phone to unlock screen (without password). Any solution?

How would you perform a 3e recovery on a Skyrocket?

I used rom toolbox and went to /system/bin but cannot find the recovery file to replace?

And by the way, what does 3e recovery do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rabbivj:
3e recovery is the stock recovery image. There is a thread over in Dev about it but the op took it down and will repost it later. You can get a 3e recovery by flashing the image thru odin or flashing back to stock.

rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
^^^^ what he said... but keep in mind the stock 3e Recovery will only flash officially signed (by Samsung) zips.... you'll need CWM Recovery to flash unsigned zips. If you try to flash an unsigned zip using 3e Recovery you'll get the dreaded "E: signature verification failed " error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rabbivj:
Exactly. The cwm recovery iirc was ported from the galaxy s2 foe T-Mobile iirc...

[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Which is better?

Newly released nAa 10 or alfs 07 ics?

I always seeks for PERFORMANCE and OC ability

Please comment here..

Any comments WILL be APPRECIATED!!
[XPERIA X8 General] chewdaniel:
nAa if u're on mcm

alfs if u're on gdx

it's _THAT_ simple...
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Yeah, i know..

I just wanna know which kernel hv better performance....

Thanks for the reply btw..
[XPERIA X8 General] chewdaniel:
they're both optimized for the respective roms... but u can try them both out and see which suits u better.

flashing kernel only takes a few seconds :D

also i think it's safe to assume that nAa's kernels will have the latest features at all times
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Okay,

Thanks for the reply..

Btw, hv u tried newest alfs? If u hv tried it, how's the performance?

And..

Flashing kernel only take seconds...

But it can also bricks ur phone in seconds LOL,, :D
[XPERIA X8 General] CKKnot:
Used Alfs 07 ics kernel, and it's good on Fde 2.4.3 (GC Based)

Note:opinion maybe different.

[XPERIA X8 General] chewdaniel:
since i don't OC my phone and i'm not using the "ICS" version so there really isn't much of a diff with v6. he did add a 691mhz to the oc list tho...
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
Im using ICS AlfsKernel and GDX with MiniCM GPU libs and I have maybe 10% boost in performances in overvall. Performaces are pretty similar in NaAs kernel and in Alfs. However I prefer Alfs because Im using GDX.
[XPERIA X8 General] vinmac:
nAa kernel 10 have graphic performance issue.

But overall performance is 1.5 to 2 faster than any other kernel

And this is very appreciable.
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Okay now, i see everyone's opinion...

Now, if you can, give me some benchmark score screenshots..

Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] mario95lp:
Guys can some one explain me how to update alfs 006 to 07?

[XPERIA X8 General] 2010matej:
nAa kernel is better, f**k alfs!
[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
Don't be disrespectful. By the way, have you tried out Alfs v7 "ICS" Kernel, or you just said it is not good?
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Yeah, i agree, we should respect other dev's hardwork ...

They do alot for our X8 :)

Yeah ..

Alfs has a better oc ...

But ..

Why you said that nAa is unfinished?:)
[XPERIA X8 General] LtHuNTer_StepheN:
can someone test alfs kernel (ics version) over minicm7

i see alfs 07 ics version is semi-based nAa kernel
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Stealing libs ?

How?

Im planning to change kernel + rom now :)

+ Waiiiittt ,

You mean Alfs+miniCM7 = fully work rom?
[XPERIA X8 General] hbali:
(Just watch his profile..)

Btw, I prefer nAa, 13-1400 points in quadrant, and cool performance in games.
[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
Check out this thread:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1456389

It is CM7 ported to work with Alfs kernel. It is always up to date and it's damn fast. There are no extra things in this rom, and that's what it makes my favourite (I have tested almost every ROMs and kernels here). Only bug is the screen split problem, but it can be solved if you switch CPU governor from ondemand to smartassV2.
[XPERIA X8 General] mario95lp:
SO can i flash alfs 007 no ics?

Then i dont need the lib files?
[XPERIA X8 General] n1kolaa:
nAa if you are on ics to :D
[XPERIA X8 General] akaSk8krew:
loooooooooooooooooooooool..without no more words: new ALFS kernel ics v7 + libs + gingerDX= PERFORMANCE AND NO BUGS:) test and you see what i'm talking about;) nAa have reboot bug, the rom don't reboot and it's very annoying..but compare the two roms (gingerDx with alfs and nAa kernel with nAa rom): compare the performance..in everything the combination alfs and gingerDx is better..it's just my opinion, but test and you see:)
[XPERIA X8 General] LtHuNTer_StepheN:
alfs work on minicm7

but wifi not work :mad:
[XPERIA X8 General] sidewalk_:
Okay, thanks for the recomendation :)

Yeah, but i recomend use alfs 07 ics, you just have to flash the lib files (using CWM, its easy )..

Havent test it yet ..

Just from my POV :)

Im not gonna flash alfs in a fews days later ..

Coz im gonna test paul's ICS first :)

Yeah ~

Okay, thanks ...

Will try a few days later :)

Haha,

I can't live without wi-fi :)

[XPERIA X8 General] CKKnot:
Alfs 07 ICS + Fde + SmartAss v2 = Stable and fast

nAa + minicm = Abit unstable, fast and feel kindda beta-ish :D

Alfs 07 ICS + minicm not tested.

Alfs (old) + minicm = no wifi

nAa + Fde = cannot boot :confused:

Note: I use Fde 2.4.3 (GingerCruzt) kinnda mod of GDX also, It's still stable until now:eek:. SmartAss V2 Governor prevent "screen cuts".

Alfs 07 ICS + Fresh install of Fde + SmartAss v2 + 806 MHz. Antutu = 2014 3D starball FPS 84+ SDcard class 4 (it's slow because of many data).

Okay,

I just flashed GDX with alfs 7 ics ..

The benchmark score really didnt satisfied me ..

Just around 188x or so ... on 768

:mad:

But its pretty smooth :)
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:
nAa 10 + MiniCM 2.1.8 @ 729 MHz

Alfs 07 ICS + GDX 22 @ 729 MHz

AnTuTu = 1905

Neocore = 0,68.5

---

Obs:

- I'm using stock 2GB memory card and waiting the delivery of my class 10 :D

- With Alfs, I can go @ 748 MHz, now with nAa I can't (but Im using @729 MHz anyway)

My answer: nAa is better for

3d gaming but its a bit unstable.
[XPERIA X8 General] farhanzahinfj:
I use the MiniCM7.2 port for alfs v7 ICS kernel..... (port was possible because of alfs's use of nAa's kgsl drivers)

I used the MiniCM7.2 on nAa 10....

I think alfs v7 ICS and nAa 10 are really close when it comes to CPU performance and 3d performance but however alfs v7 ICS is better at 2d performance...

antutu 2d performance score: (basically on the same rom)

ALFS v7 ICS: 443

nAa v10: 411

so with alfs v7 ICS i get better scrolling performance than nAa 10....! :D

then again the ROM also matters... depends on what u're using!

hit thanks if i helped! :)

As I had posted before, now come with screenshots. :D

Obs:

- Clean ROM (without any customizations or optimizers, etc)

- Poor (stock) SD Card. Waiting for my class 10.

- I can go up to @ 748 MHz.

- Now i got 70.1 fps in Neocore, before was 68.5

Wow,

What rom u r using ?

Btw, i just switch to FDE ..

Its really amazing rom!

Better than GDX or miniCM(my opinion)

This sounds like what happened to me before. I had to have the port solder back in. If you can find a dock, you can also charge your tablet using it. There is a thread which goes into this and even one which shows details of opening the tablet up. Try using the forum search to find it. Do not try this unless you have electronics training.

As many times as this has come up we need to get all of these instructions together in the general area and make it a sticky thread (pin it).

Good luck.

[Motorola Atrix 2] TheAdlaBerlin:
hi everybody,

received an update this morning for the ME865 for the 2.3.6 version. the system update was around 35 MB. strangely there were no release notes. or i couldn't find any. however it says now it's the 55.90.11.ME856.retail.en.05.

if somebody has any info about what it fixed,would be appreciate.
[Motorola Atrix 2] radaps:
I got the update too..you need to manually update it..

http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...65/ATT/RN_ATRIX2_55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.htm
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Nope, this is a completely different update for one of the international versions of the Atrix 2, ME865. That link is for the USA update for AT&T MB865.

TheAdlaBerlin: Without inspecting the update itself, we can only speculate about what it may contain- though I would guess they're using a similar codebase for the MB865 and ME865.
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheAdlaBerlin:
hmm, i guess you're right. logically since the at@t just got their 2.3.6 update finally, i also suppose the ME update contains smaller bugfixes that are probably included in the big one for the at@t. i did not notice any new apps and since the unbranded ME comes without any extra apps except the standard stuff, i guess must be some bugfixes. when i clicked on the release notes, it just transferred me to the Motorola homepage where i can choose my region on the world map.
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
For giggles, you could try "fastboot oem unlock" to see if the new release has an unlocked bootloader (very unlikely :( )
[Motorola Atrix 2] yinzhili:

sdhc just means it's more then 2GB. if you want a good sd card go for class 10. the class is a grouping of how fast it is for reads and writes but not all class 10 cards are the same some are way faster then others. some people are huge fans of some brands I don't care that much as you still have no idea for some of the brands as to who made the chip.
