[HTC Sensation] weehappypixie:
Hi,

Does anyone know, if I pay T-Mobile to unlock my HTC Sensation does the code they send only unlock the network lock so I can use other network SIMS or does it remove all the T-Mobile locks.

I would like to remove the sim lock and flash with stock HTC ROM but would rather not start playing with flashing tools etc just in case I brick it.

Cheers,

John
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YOYO41:
I bought a galaxy nexus for expansys usa, the phone is working well and is in perfect condition but 4 days after i got it i saw that it has a crack in the inside of the screen, top left corner

I think that is a product defect and not a damaged that i did, because everything else is in perfect condition, the outside of the screen is not damaged.

Now expanxys is telling me that I am in my own, that i have to deal directly with Samsung the manufacturer.

I feel cheated i thought i had 15 days to return a product that has a clear defect.

Beware they will sold you a broken product and will not accept a return
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
OP, did you use American Express?

AMEX will refund you the money IF the the online retailer will not accept a return.

AMEX will also give you accidental 90 day warranty damage (if you really need to use that excuse).

That's the risk you take by buying from an online retailer instead of a brick and mortar. And it's not as big an online retailer. It's a small retailer in the overall scheme of things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YOYO41:
Yes i know is my fault, lesson learned, an expensive one($609), now i have to find out my options dealing with Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
Wow, this is not the kinda thing I wanted to read while waiting for Fedex to drop off my GN from Expansys. I'll have to thoroughly check out the phone as soon as I open it and make sure there's nothing wrong with it.

Good luck with getting it fixed. Hopefully Samsung will be more helpful than Expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
That crack is a known defect. Search this forum for "hairline".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p00kienrayray:
I bought an n7000 gnote from them, but requested for an RMA before it even shipped to my house. I had the RMA printed and ready to go, but upon receiving the phone, the seal on the phone box was already broken. Now I was thinking it was a customs thing bc the US power supply that they included was outside of the box.

Their return policy says there's a restocking fee for any returned non-defective item that is open, so I gave them a call to inform them that the seal was already broken. The CSR told me that it shouldn't have been broken, even though it was an imported international item. So I was gonna get hit with the 10 or 15% (or whatever it was) restocking fee.

I called BS on them, so now its under investigation.

Bottom line is you deal with expansys, you do, unfortunately, take a risk.

They should exchange or refund your nexus. Even if it might be samsung's fault, it's still within expansys' 2 week window for exchange/return.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I'be bought two from Expansys (yakju) and they've been perfect (GSM). They do have a return/exchange policy. If you return, they charge a restocking fee.

Have you called them to talk it over or are you just complaining on the internet? Call, be firm but polite (i.e. don't pounce on them when they answer, demanding an exchange).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YOYO41:
I found the tread about the hairline crack ,but it looks like Samsung has not admitted that this is a manufacturer defect so the retailers dont want to exchange the phone under manufacturer's warranty, and you are hit with,(IT IS A DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE CUSTOMER) even though is clear that so many people can not have caused the exact same damage to their phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YOYO41:
Yes i called then , and i will call then again , i let you know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
I remember why I don't spend money with these people. Some of the worst customer service I've ever encountered. Call back and firmly force them to return it, refund your money, and choose another place that actually values your purchase.

The best way to show a company who is boss is to vote with your wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YOYO41:
I called back Expanxys USA, first the exchange department is a voice mail you can not talk to anybody there , then customer service told me that they can not do anything about my problem, that it has to be trough the exchange department email, ok i sent then another email.

After that i called Samsung and they told me that my phone was not registered and it would take 48 hrs to registered,ounce this is done i am going to send my phone to Samsung,the guy in the phone told me that if this problem is a customer damage it is not covered under warranty.

Now i am going to go with all that process, i let you know how they rule, if the problem is a manufacturer problem or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p00kienrayray:
forgot to tell you. the expansys returns/exchange department NEVER answers. I left 3 different messages from them, but no return calls. I suggest if you do need to contact them, email is the best way. Although it takes a rather long time for them to reply, they've replied to all of my emails so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
wow :(

I'm glad I got mine thru Negri then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnguyen1988:
A little off topic but I figured its better to post here than to start a thread. I'm planning on buying one in a few days through expansys but now im iffy. Is negri better? Where should I buy one from? Thanks ya'll
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
So far I don't see many complaints about Negri. Look for coupon though, Negri usually have some discount of their listed prices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazy talk:
i bought my Note and my Nexus through Global Mobiles (fulfilled by Amazon) and the service was fantastic.

ended up having a problem with the Note and sending it back, no restocking fee, no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnguyen1988:
Thanks ill look out for some coupons.

No restocking fee is nice how much did you end up paying for the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdanders:
Did you use a credit card? Just dispute the charges.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Do you all use credit cards? I'm going to say this again.. dispute the charges.

Also, tell Expansys that if they do not refund your money you will dispute the charges. Retailers are penalized and can even lose their ability to accept credit cards if they have too many chargebacks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drblack2013:
So, after a weekend or so with the device, what do you guys think of its pocketability? I really want to get the Note, but I'm worried after putting a good protective case on it like the Seidio Active that it will not be very fun to put in my pocket. That would be a deal breaker for me. I just played with one at AT&T and it just kills my Aria.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] murphy_31047:
I wear nothing but carhartt work pants and I have zero issues. This phone is the perfect size for me. I see no issues with a case unless you use a rubber one. It will stick to your pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I have a minimalist case and have no issues with pocketability. No problem with one-handed use, either, and I'm average height (5' 11") with equally average hands.

Can't say how it would fair with a bulk protective case, but I've never liked bulky protective cases. That's what insurance is for. Why spend $60 on a bulky case when you can get two years of insurance for $99 from Ensquared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:
It fits in my hand well it fits in my pocket well. I'm a small person. The phone is great. Not too big actually
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
I'm not using a case but I can say the phone is so thin I can barely feel it in my pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edaley:
Fits just fine in my slim fit Levi's...a little big for one handed use but that doesn't bother me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CosmicTrigger235:
I'm coming from a Dell Streak with an Otterbox Commuter case, no issues here :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aarnoldupenn:
I have no case, but it feels fine in pocket. Im coming from Skyrocket. I love this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gjllopez:
Humans were made to adapt, this is no excuse. But in all seriousness, youll be surprised how quivckly youll get used to it. Heres hoping we can be note brohers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
I had a Skyrocket also and the Note really hasn't been much different in my pocket or in general usage. I have even made a few calls to my ear and I never thought the phone was too big. I even use the Speck Candyshell case, which is fairly sizable. However, I can understand people with small hands having issues.

Seriously. . . My iphone already feels and looks like a joke. Every LCD screen i look at now seems like its from the stone age.

Reminds a bit of Stone Brewing Co's Ruination IPA. There's a blurb on the bottle about how it will ruin your palate for other beers. That's what this phone has done: ruined my palate for other phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
I'm a small 5'5 guy that occasionally wear skinny jeans. My suit pants is also skinny.

ZERO problems whatsoever. I think a lot of people really exaggerate on how the big phone is assuming that it will not fit the pocket.

Yes it is BIG .. but it fits the pockets perfectly.

My only problem is using it with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
Since picking my phone up at BB yesterday at noon, I haven't stopped playing with it long enough to see how pocketable it is. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
I have an aluminum bumper on mine and it fits in my jeans, cargo pants, sweat pants, dress shirt pocket, basketball shorts pockets, and pretty much everything in my wardrobe. I'm an average size person, but i got big hands.

And i had an aria too. This is ten times better. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drblack2013:
Thanks guys, or gals. Hand size isn't the issue. In fact that's why I want to get the Note, it will be perfect for my hands. I just didn't want to have issues with portability since it will be a phone for me. The tablet aspect is just a bonus.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
First of all my appologies if this is in the wrong section...... As I don't have enough posts I can't ask the Dev's directly or even post in their threads....

I have a rooted and S-off unbranded htc desire. I flashed the LeeDroid HD port and everything was cool. Since then Ive gone on to Revolution 3D v1.5 again no problems at all.

The issue is with the camera, it wont work at all. this happened when i flashed Revolution v3 xmas edition. To be fair to Tamirda he's got a link labelled "camera fix" i flashed this and still no camera :confused:

Thinking this has got something to do with the kernel (as that was the only difference I could see after installing the camera fix) I've tried various other kernels but still no joy.

Since then I have tried re-flashing ALL of the Revolution roms (completing a full wipe incl sd/ext, dalvik etc) all work great but I still have no camera, Ive flashed RCMixS v2.0, still no camera and I've just this minute completed a FULL wipe and Nandroid restore that I created on the 26/12/2011, the day after flashing for the first time (LeeDroid HD port) when all was good, but STILL no camera :confused:

Any help or suggestions or even just a nod in the right direction would be MASSIVELY apreiciated as Ive been trying to solve this now for a few weeks

I've now re-flashed RCMixS v2.0 and I still cant use the camera.......

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
Just to clarify.... when the camera/camcorder icons are pressed, sometimes the screen blacks out and the only response you get is by pressing the 'home' key exiting the application while other times the white camera logo comes onto the center of the screen but instantly disaperes and closes the app.

Ive also tried non htc camera apps purchesed from the market like 'pro capture' this took ONE photo and never worked again, when you try to use it it simply says 'cannot access camera'. I also have tried all other ways to access the camera like attach photo to mms and choosing camera instead of gallery and it still doesnt work.....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
Hi, thanks for the 'heads up' .. Ive changed the title to better suit the thread. I'm sure I'm over looking something, just can't think of anything else to try....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
This is odd. To me, this seems to be some sort of a hardware issue. If i were you, i'd flash a stock 2.2 RUU and see if that fixes the camera issue. If it doesn't, then i'm afraid it's off to a repair center for you, my friend. :(

Three things:

- Maybe the recovery didn't properly wipe the partitions (happens sometimes) and some system files got fubared. Try wiping each partition 2-3 times before installing ROM/back-up and see if that fixes it;

- Open the back cover and GENTLY nudge the camera's "lens" with a cotton swab (the ones used for cleaning your ears). Maybe it's stuck (it should "float" - for focusing reasons) and the camera is reporting some sort of an error because of that and refuses to work;

- Please post a dmesg for the camera, if possible.

Mind you, you're not the only one with this issue. Check out this thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
Ok cool, thankyou that gives me something to work with :)

Yeah Ive read some posts where people are saying that roms which use sense hybrids can cause this issue but none that Ive read seem to go much further than that. Tbh Im hoping it is jus a case of a bad wipe/install thats been made worse by several re flash / full wipe attempts....... Fingers crossed eh!

Will check out the link before I go any further and will post what happens next.

Thanks again, Tom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
Ok, not great news but I know whats wrong with it....... Big thanks to TVTV for the link as thats where I found the answer.

Its a hardware problem having being dropped on its face a couple of times (DOH!) the floating lense doesnt float any more causing the ap to force close or sometimes stay on black screen. Gently tapping on the lense brought it back to life, briefly, but that'll be because its damaged and not software....... so yeah off to the shops I go :rolleyes:

Thanks again TVTV :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
You're welcome! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_tomtom:
Just a quick note...

Anybody who has this issue, with the same symptoms, can temporarily get there camera working again.

Take the battery cover off and have a look at the camera lense, you will see that there is a small , square piece of glass sitting on a slightly larger metal square frame. You need to GENTLY ease that metal frame away from the phone. On my handset the frame is joined at the top right corner, I used this join to hook the corner of my thumb nail under and lift it up by a FRACTION OF A MILIMETER MAX!

A good way to see if this is working is to start by pressing the camera icon untill it blacks out the screen, if you get somebody to watch the screen, or use a mirror, you will see the screen come back to life showing you all the on screen camera options and the image of what ever the camera is looking at as you GENTLY and ONLY SLIGHTLY pry the frame away from the phone.

It took me a night of fiddling with it using this method and so far I've been able to use my camera without faults..... Good job really as for now this has saved me a trip to the HTC service center, with no warranty :D

Before you try this though you MUST be incredibly carefull whilst moving this frame that holds the lense. You must NOT attempt to do this by touching the lense itself (small square shapped piece of glass) as this will more than likely break it, then its off to HTC which will cost a fortune if like me you've allready voided your warranty so BE CAREFULL!!

Hope this helps

Hi, Ive been looking around for the wind stock rom for the past few days and could not find it. So im posting a thread about it.

I want to put it back to the old firmware which you buy from wind that comes with the preloaded software because I did not unlock it when it was rooted. Is there any downloads for winds stock rom for optimus 2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Hi

I believe the Wind O2X is actually a G2X, so maybe you've searched in the wrong thread for the whole time ;).

Anyway, try searching for a stock rom in the G2X thread...

Good Luck! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Lowkey1:
Are you sure? Because when I bought the phone from Wind mobile, the os had wind mobile widgets and such sort
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
I'm pretty sure, a WIND Optimus 2X is a G2X (LG P999). The O2X and G2X are pretty much the same. There are only a few differences, which cause O2X roms to not work on a G2X and vice versa.
[LG Optimus 2x] Lowkey1:
Okay I looked in the g2x section and I cant find it...

Right now my optimus 2x is running android version 2.2.2 with an unknown baseband, I just want to reset it back to winds android version with an actually baseband?

Any help?
[LG Optimus 2x] Biker1bob:
Yeah .. there are enough wind users (me too) that one will show up soon. Might have been posted.. or someone who is more savy might be able to do one up.

Today i bought Sony Ericson Xperia Mini ST15i, i upgraded the default firmware to the latest v.62 then i used flashboot to unlock the bootloader which appeared to work according to flashboot in command prompt. I then booted into the CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.6 and i did "wipe data/factory reset" then installed cynogenmod latest stable version then restarted and it just hangs on the cynagenmod logo, sometime it shows the unlock screen for a few seconds then shows cynagenmod logo. I can get into CWM Recovery, i've tried re-flashing my official backed up image that i made with CWM-based recovery and i've tried flashing cynagenmod. I've also tried formatting cache, data and system and then flashing cynagenmod or the backup image but still doesn't work.

The links on this site for the v.58 firmware are dead.

I need to bring my phone back to life and prefereably put the latest cynagenmod on it. The phone was factory unlocked to all networks btw, i'd like to keep that.

I have "flasher" which is able to communicate with the phone but i've got no original images to try and re-flash my phone with.
