Last year when Sprint finally gave me a new Evo after 5 bad refurbs, they told me the warranty would be 90 days OR the remainder of the 1 year from the original phone purchase date, whichever comes first.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
That sounds like a pretty standard policy. I figured that might be the case.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I know at sprint sometimes is a game of chance on refurbished units back on the EVO days I had to swap my 2month old phone out due to blue spots in the screen they wouldn't fix it. Lol pain dealing with refurbished units sometimes you get lucky other times it is a gamble .

Lol I would rather keep my original phone and just repair it my self lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
lol, im glad this post is here because i actually have some clarification and this applies to me.

so i dropped my 3vo in water the other day for a split second, and it dried out just fine. this was about 2 weeks ago. i wasnt having issues at all until yesterday. apparently the digitizer is screwed so being an employee at best buy, i knew i had coverage and i bought the BTP out right so i had plenty of replacements. i took it in, and my buddy took a look at it and he confirmed the screen was wonky. but then he said it was rooted, and that they dont accept that. so of course i went outside and smahed the phones screen to bits to where both the inner and outer layer of the screen were shattered and you couldnt see the screen at all.

anyways, what i am getting at...

if the phone has water damage, or any type of replacement issues they pretty much rip the phone out and the only thing brand new you get back is the shell of the phone and they replace whatever is messed up.

but if the phone screen is completely shattered it is a instant replacement with a new phone, which is good because it "shouldnt" be a refurb. this is a new policy that is actually inside info.

Wait, can you tell me some about TEP's current policies? I chose bestbuy but I'm probably going to switch when I get my new phone. Last time I called about TEP was 3 years ago, so...

-Does TEP still charge $100 for broken phones?

-Does TEP give new or refurbished phones?

-If refurbished, is it at the store or does it take 20 years to arrive?

-With TEP, do they replace it no questions asked?

I knew bestbuy's prices were jacked up like **** but now the insurance... really...

Thanks

Thank you so much. I hate having to wait a month before they replace the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jraw23:
As far as I know they only charge the fee if there is physical damage, water damage, or if it lost or stolen. If you take the phone to a corporate store with a repair center they will fix it for free and if it cannot be fixed then it is replaced with a refurbished phone. Personally I used to work for both companies and I think that TEP is much better than best buy's insurance policy.

It depends upon personal preference..... For me the best Android phone is what I am using now, Motorola RAZR XT910 because it satisfies my needs in a smartphone.... Despite the locked bootloader, its fine with me.... But saying what is the BEST Android phone is too general, and it boils down again to personal preference
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigabop:
like they said, It depends on personal preference...Do you want a keyboard? Do you not care about physical keyboard and want a big screen? do you want 3D?

I personally have an epic 4G because I wanted a keyboard when I got my phone over a year ago.

the EVO 3D is pretty cool if you're into watching 3D videos/movies, and the 3D effect is pretty amazing on it!

and top dog right now is the Galaxy Nexus. its 4G LTE, has a big screen, and is the first with a 720P HD screen. its pure android on 4.0 ice cream sandwich. The screen is made by Samsung, so you know it has a Super AMOLED screen which in my opinion blows most phone screens out of the water for color and clarity. It is also a dual core with 32GB of internal memory.

in my personal opinion there are 2 ways:

1)if you want to install lots of roms mods etc. you want a nexus phone or an htc phone(ex. galaxy nexus...htc surround....htc sensation)

2)if you want a phone with beast specs(go for a galaxy s2...galaxy note....mtorola razr)

in my personal opinion i would go for a galaxy phone (have a galaxy s2 and have been with a galaxy note) and are just wonderful...wont dissapoint you

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] Gizmo123:
Hello 8.9 users :) . I know a lot of people prefer leather cases or smart covers, but what i am looking for is a good soft neoprene case that will protect my tab against eventual drops or scratches, when i'm carrying it around. I don't like the ones where you have to stretch them to get the tab inside, and i much prefer the ones with a zip on the side.

I was thinking of getting something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Slim-Ne...ltDomain_0&hash=item337143b173#ht_1152wt_1396 but it ships from USA and i don't like the shipping costs and delivery time. The other thing, it lists as a case for tab 10.1 too, that means the 8.9 will probably "swim" in it a little bit. Can anyone confirm this?

Has anyone found something similar to this one (or better), that is preferably shipping from Europe? Please do share what kind of neoprene case did you get for your 8.9.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] Gizmo123:
Can't be that no one likes neoprene? :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/29064036495...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_5130wt_952

It fits perfect. The Model is the A7s. Ignore the models specifically labeled "8.9", they're too big. The A7s fits perfect with no stretching. It's not neoprene, but a kind of pleather. However, it has a memory foam layer that makes it very cushy. It zips all the way open on three sides. I also got this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Case-for-Ga...Accessories&hash=item45ffdeff77#ht_2358wt_814 which also fits perfectly. When the plastic cover is on, it still fits great in the memory foam case.

Just wanna let you guys know that i recently got the iLuv sleeve for my 8.9. If you want neoprene and whole lot of protection and soft materials, stop looking, because this is the best one. It fits perfectly, no bouncing around. Payed 24 euros for it, but it's worth it.

Has little triangles on both sides, that add to overall rigidity and extra protection if it accidentally drops, since they soak up the impact. It also has a pocket on the outside, where you can put your smartphone or other accessories. All in all, it's a very nice and high quality sleeve, i'm very happy with it. Here are some photos:

[EVO 4G General] groovdafied:
So, I'm getting a tablet and Seagates wireless hard drive to use with it. The only thing is I won't be able to tether to my phone if using the hard drive, so I was thinking of getting a mini wireless portable router.

My question is, how can I get my phone to tether to a wireless router (say a DLINK g730ap) so my tablet can access the Internet and the hard drive within the DLINK? Unless I use the Android Tether as a router, where the hard drive connects to the phone and the tablet connects to the same phone. But I don't know what the transfer speeds are going to be, I imagine it would probably be slow, but I'm not sure.

I hope this makes sense, thanks!!!
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I think I understand what you want to do, and it's something I did not too long ago. I actually wanted to see if I could use Sprint Hotspot on my EVO, tethering at 4G, as a replacement for my xfinity internet. The problem is, the router I use requires an Ethernet connection as it's internet input, so I wasn't even sure it was possible. But, apparently, it is. I had to change the firmware on my router, though. If you're trying to do something similar, that's likely what you'll have to do. I got my modded firmware from dd-wrt. But there are a LOT of warnings, and just like upgrading the firmware on your phone can lead to a brick if done incorrectly, the same goes for the router.

I actually couldn't get it to work using Wireless Tether for root users; it only worked with the native Sprint Hotspot, so unless you're paying for the service, it might not be possible. And your bandwidth will be very limited, so don't expect very fast transfer speeds.
[EVO 4G General] tcoz2000:
Router

You have 2 separate hurdles to cross-

1. DD-WRT compatible Router to handle all 3 devices communication

2. "Wireless Tether" does not create an actual router, it creates an Ad-Hoc based connection using basic ICS, and typical network/routing functions are not available. If you don't want to use Sprints Hotspot app, you will need to get specific instructions on DD-WRT's forum on how to properly configure this type of setup and use your router as a gateway. I'm sure the information is probably posted already somewhere over there. Head over there and start digging. They are to routing as XDA is to mobile phones.
[EVO 4G General] KoKoMaster:
im running this setup now with my phone and xbox and whatever else. like has been mentioned you need to put ddrt on your router and configure it as an ap bridge. then you have to link it to the ....wtf..hold on ill link you.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge#Instructions
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Yeah that's the way to go, I use ddwrt in client mode so it pulls my wireless tether from my phone and sends the signal out through the cat5 or 6 cable to whatever is wired to the router. But repeater/bridge mode would be needed to send wired signal and also repeat the signal through the antenna for broadcasting wifi from the router.
[EVO 4G General] kusanagi-sama:
I can't figure out how to use this. I turn on WiFi tether, Wifi itself turns off on the phone. Now, I have a WNR3500L with the toastman tomato mod, and I can't figure out how to get it to work with this.

[LG Optimus 2x] lolozaur:
just a hint : most battery consumption can be checked in the battery stats, on the activity graph : awake vs screen on - if awake and screen on are not synced in the activity graph (should have same lines) then you have a problem. meaning when your phone has its screen off it should go into deep sleep mode (lower cpu frequency) but if you the phone is awake while screen is off, you have an application installed that won't let your phone sleep and just keeps using the cpu and sucking the battery.

this is mostly applied to standby battery life, if you are playing a game/watching a movie, doesn't really matter :) screen is on, cpu/gpu is sucking the battery.

my worst battery life while i had the O2X was about 16h, but that's with normal phone use (no games - you can have a psp for that, no music - you can have an ipod for that), mostly emails, browsing, IMs, calls/texts all day long :) also best battery life was 2d 10h (mostly on standby)

When I do "Shutdown" it restarts... The OS goes thru the entire shut down process, the display turns off, then the keylights, and then it boots up. Same thing if I pull the battery. As soon as I put it back in the phone turns on without touching the Powerbutton. Ofc I don't turn off my phone like never, but still the idea that it does so kinda bugs me. It didn't do this from the beginning but dunno when it started, I observed it couple of days ago when I accidentally pressed shut down instead or reboot. The issue is ROM independent.

Any clue? HW Problem ?

Select the time auto update, and allow it to sync.
