[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
I don't really understand why the firmware would need to be locked to guarentee a screen repair anyway? And why wouldn't they just flash new firmware to the existing phone - why would the main board need to be changed? People flash back to original firmware here all the time. It just doesn't smell right to me, but once again, I am FAR from an expert on the subject. You could just call their bluff and ask for the phone back and pay the return fee.

If you're in email correspondence with them and they haven't already done so in writing I'd ask them to put into writing why replacing the screen requires a new main board; why does new formware have to be flashed to the device to guarentee a hardware repair? Why can't the new firmware be flashed to the existing main board? I'd also exlpain as politely as possible that you are disatisfied with their explanation and ask them for a point of contact directly with someone at HTC to act as an ombudsman, or just tell them that you'll be contacting HTC directly to ask them to interevene.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Sounds like pure scam. It would be equivalent to dropping off your car for a windscreen repair and being told you need a new injection system because the exhaust has been modified. If you don't pay for the new injection system they can't fix the windscreen but you can have your car back unrepaired for $100 fee. Obviously the mechanic would be in court for fraud very quickly if someone took it to the police.

What we have here is some dodgy individuals preying on the general public, I can say this is not typical of HTC service in my country at least. I wonderful if they would even change the mainboard or simply flash an ruu and claim they had done so. Don't know what legal recourse is available in the UK but you should at the least report the matter to HTC global. These scumbags are after all damaging the reputation of the HTC brand and I'm sure that if they receive a number of complaints they will have to do something about the situation.

[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
After reading some of those I'm glad I live in a country where that kind of behaviour is illegal under consumer protection laws. Looks like I was wrong when I said that sort of behaviour isn't normal of HTC worldwide. It appears the only reason HTC behave here is that they would get murdered by the legal system, not to mention the negative publicity attached to that.
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
It's really weird because we have a pretty robust Sale of Goods act over here, but even that doesn't sem to count for that much these days. In theory goods have to be fit for purpose and, in theory, last a certain length of time - if not, a consumer should be able to return the item for a refund. These days however, even in retail stores, if something fails outside of 28 days many places insist on having it repaired. Online retailers often insist that one sends a phone back to the manufacturer for repair if it fails after a month which simply isn't right.

We're also fairly well known for putting up with higher prices in the Uk than other parts of Europe and the rest of the world. It's bizarre, but we just seem to take c**p from our retail sector here in the UK, whether it be cars, phones or tvs.

You'd think bad publicity would force the likes of HTC to really raise their game, but it just doesn't seem to (although, unfotunately, the fact that de-v8 has actually managed to get hold of HTC customer support more than once IS an improvement; way better than my experiences in 2008/9).

Tech journalists over here don't help us either. So many just hype the hell out of everything and get on board with the marketing claims manufacturers make about a new chip or a CMOS sensor and don't point out obvious discrepancies or flaws. Well, sometimes they do so belatedly by saying 'oh yeah the HTC Touch Pro always was dog slow because the VGA res. screen and TouchFlo always was too much for the SoC. Of course, a year earlier they had claimed it change one's life for the better ; )

Obviously this doesn't help de-v8 as his scenario is slightly different as it was a paid repair in the first place, but he's clearly being fleeced.

Hi All ,Has anyone in this great community managed to root a Android 2.3 Capacitive multitouch S5PV210A8 with the Samsung processor . bought of Amazon UK Has an old newbie it works fine ,but unable to root with the normal tools ,any help appreciated
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KMyers:
Hello,

In all honesty, these things are not hard to root however as they are VERY Generic, you wont find many doing it or custom roms.

Rooting basically consists of taking a system dump of the tablet and injecting the "su" binaries into it. Of course the steps to accomplish this vary from product to product.

First, start by seeing if you can get adb working and communicating with the tablet.

If yes, then see what bootloader you are running (type "adb reboot bootloader". If you are running fastboot, you should be able to build a custom recovery from the ClockworkMod Source Tree if you know how.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
I normally use SETCPU / Info/ Time In State to see what percentage of time the phone spends at each frequency. here are the figures.

SetCPU Stats

1000 27%

800 23%

400 11%

200 23%

100 13%

I have just downloaded CPU Spy and here are the figures, run 1 second after running SETCPU

CPU Spy Stats

1000 11%

800 9%

400 4%

200 9%

100 5%

deep sleep 60%

As you can see, the stats are completely different, so which (if any figures) are correct?

Update.

rebooted phone, after 5 minutes, CPU Spy and SETCPU agree, that means thay are using the same mechanisms but the

figures are being corrupted after the phone has een running for hours. I wonder if SETCPU is not aware of Deep Sleep/Idle..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
Seems pretty simple, you have the same two steps in both apps using the same percentage. So looks like only CPU spy recognises deep sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:

not sure if its what you are after but i have juicedefender on my phone and it really helps prolong my battery (i get 2.4x more according to its own stats) so I get about 2.5 days almost 3 days with moderate use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owen magnetic:
If you want something more flexible (but also more labour-intensive) than Juice Defender, get Tasker.

You can use Tasker to set your phone up to only check every few hours at night when you're asleep, for example. Or automatically shut off wifi and data when you're getting on the subway. It's a very useful app but also requires a lot of tinkering. If you want something simple to use then Juice Defender is the way to go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamoo:
Oh well thx guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Don't use Juice Defender. It's crap/placebo. Has been proven on here many times to use more juice than it saves in 99 out of 100 cases.

custom kernel, underclock and undervolt are for "G" version ?

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
Hi people,

So I managed to root my Legend yesterday, and I am now eager to get Cyanogen on the phone. Here I thought "flashing a ROM" would be a walk in the park compared to the hell I've been through to successfully complete the rooting. Perhaps it is a walk in the park, but I'm not convinced - I'm confused :S

After spending ~5€ on ROM Manager Premium (which turns out to be nothing but a required licens in order to use the basic one), it seem like the free ROM Manager isn't compatible with Legend (??). After, slighly hysterical, reading through various threads regarding this, it seem like i might have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery manually...which seem a bit more complicated.

Is HTC Legend really incompatible with ROM Manager? When searching for ROM Manager at Android Market I can only see the premium version, the free version doesn't even display. I also tried to get it through AppBrain, but when installing it from there I receive error msg that the file doesn't exist.

Is it possible to install ROM Manager in any way? Perhaps my Legend needs some kind of update/configuration? I got the following software:

- Firmware version: 2.1

- Build number: 1.31.40~~~~

- Software number: 1.31.40~~~

====

If ROM Manager cannot be installed on my Legend. Does anyone have a proper guide on how to manually set up Clockwork Mod Recovery for Legend?

Thanks in advance
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alligator_asl:
Hi byxl,

On a rooted Legend with firmware 2.2 (Froyo) the Rommanager works.

You can use the Clockwork Mod Recovery without Rommanager, just rename it to update.zip and start it via recovery. You can download it here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969076

I think, with Cyanogen you can install the Rommanager.

Good luck!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
Hey alligator_asl & thanks for the answer,

How do I update my rooted HTC Legend to firmware 2.2? And once I have it, will I still be able to run Cyanogen from it? Is there any difference between firmware versions when it comes to possibilities with a rooted phone?

-->>why not add another bunch of newb questions when I'm at it;

---> Is there any way to loose my root access, other then if I'd unroot it? E.g. by upgrading to another firmware.

->> And am I able to flash my device to Cyanogen regardless of what Android version I'm running?

Hello byxl

when you have root, you dont need to update to 2.2 first, you can directly flash cyanogen, look here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Legend:_Full_Update_Guide

Yes, if you run an official firmware update from your provider or if you flash an unrooted rom

Yes, but dont forget to wipe before

[HTC Sensation] THUDUK:
Am thinking about swapping (well in fact have the opportunity to) my SGS2 for an HTC sensation

I have a few questions if you don't mind...

1) Is the Beats version more powerful than the standard Sensation

2) I read that dust gets under the screen is this common

3) How does the screen compare to the SGS2, will I notice the higher DPI

4) Is the sounds quality better than the SGS2

5) the SGS2 has 16GB built in, how does the Sensation manage with just its 1GB.

Sorry if I am asking all the same questions as done before

Reason I which to come back to an HTC is I used to own HD, HD2 and others with sense and I miss it

I also like the idea of the Higher pixels with the sensation
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
1.) Not really, they have the same processor, the XE has it clocked to it's full capacity by default while the non-XE doesn't.

2.) Can't comment on that yet but so far it seems okay.

3.) It'll be sharper but the colours are less vibrant and blacks will be less black

4.) Can't comment since I haven't heard a GS2 but the sound quality with headphones is fine.

5.) It manages well, the 1GB is for Market apps. User data goes on an SD Card so unless you have a huge movie or audio collection and don't have a million apps it's more than adequate IMO.
[HTC Sensation] beston94:
1. Its the same due to the processor

2. Hasn't happened to me yet

3. I had a samsung galaxy s2 and switched. You will notice the higher DPI, but the screen is less black as in the blacks will have a sort of greyish tint on them.

4. I must say that the sound quality of the samsung galaxy s2 with the speaker is better but with the headphones, htc all the way :] The beats are a really good feature.

5. You can manage easily.

PS: I also miss my htc hd2 :D The king of all phones IMO!
