Sale Of Goods Act 1979

Hi op,

The Act states that where a fault develops within the first 6 months then it is assumed the fault was present at time of purchase and therefore you do have some recourse with regard to the phone being sold to you as 'not of sufficient quality'.

However with LCD displays (all types) there are quite a few examples where to be considered a defect, the dead pixels must be in the same place, ie. adjacent to each other and usually 3 or more.

I, personally, wouldn't at all be happy with just 1 dead pixel but it is often difficult to without going through the courts or trading standards to get anywhere.

Fight your ground with DAP and be calm, persistent and where possible, quote each and every one of your rights as a consumer. If purchased under a contract/credit agreement you have further protection under the consumer Credit Act. Likewise, purchases made via Credit Card have additional protection via the card issuer. Effectively, your issue is with the card issuer and you can fight the issue with them.

Last post is also a very good option, deal direct with HTC, politely and you'll more than likely get results.

HTC are indeed poor in the UK as the article on Watchdog highlighted.

Hope you win in the end.
[HTC Sensation] Sensational_:
I had a problem with another HTC phone i bought from CarPhoneWarehouse last year.

To cut a long story short, i was looking at a 2 week turnaround with CPW to get it fixed through HTC, so i ended up going through HTC direct.

HTC operate a pick up / delivery courier service and got the phone back to me in 3/4 days.

In my case HTC didn't fix the fault and i ended up having to send it back 3 times before they eventually replaced with another duff handset, and then upgraded me to my senny.

I would say i'm a rare case, and they should be able to replace your screen fairly easily in 1 hit, and get the phone back to you within the week.

Good luck.

Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader(Only works with TF201 ICS OS)

Notice: Only suitable for Andriod4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
SHouldn't this be in the Prime section?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sir Flashalot:
It should, but perhaps xda devs can somehow use this tool for TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
I see we have an optimist here :p

Considering how Asus changed their bootloader-encryption at least two times on the original TF101, I wouldn't get my hopes up, but I appreciate the post none the less.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
Tool APK attached to this post for those interested.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sir Flashalot:
Naah, I just lack the appropriate knowledge. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sziehr:
So what is the worst that could happen running this on a TF 101 or a slider?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] laslow:
The worst? It would brick it.

Realistically? If you run it, it will likely just report "Unsupported Device".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] daoist:
Unfortunately the app phones home to ASUS to get an unlock code, and then uses that. There doesn't seem to be anything in here that's usable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
Didn't really expect much, but thanks for taking a look.

Out of interest, since you already looked: Is there nothing at all there? Nothing in the unlocking mechanism which looks reusable for the TF101 if people somehow obtain unlock-keys? Does the unlock keys look interceptable if your only way to the internet is through a sniffing proxy?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pissos13:
I think it will be released an equal tool to the TF101, no?

for SBK2 and SBK3?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
I doubt it. Nobody pressured Asus about locked bootloaders on the TF101.

They only opened up the TF201 because the locked bootloaders become known ahead of release and not opening them up would lose them lots of sales.

Let's just say that even with a massive Facebook campaign and similar efforts, it's a "little" late to not buy your TF101 right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Whiterott:
thanks

Asus removed this tool from the download section.
[HTC Rezound] namebrandon:
Hi.. New here, coming from Fascinate, Rezound is in the mail..

Since I'm waiting, I'm looking for kernels (GB) that were compiled with dm-crypt enabled. I wanna run my LUKS, but I'm holding off on going to ICS until it's official from HTC.. I haven't downloaded the source yet, so I'm just assuming it was not in the stock GB kernel.. I'd love to find out I'm wrong.

In a perfect world I'd just take the stock kernel with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, so if that doesn't exist and there's some interest, I might just compile one.

Sorry for the newb question, but I'm not up on dev / kernels over here..

Thanks! :D
[HTC Rezound] namebrandon:
sweet.. straight from my fresh HTC source .config..

CONFIG_DM_DEBUG=y

guess that answers that! Coming from Samsung, working with HTC source code is a dream..

Thanks anyway! :)

Did anyone succeeded to root LG-P920 version V20A android version 2.3.5?

Since I am reading in several threads/forums that some people succeeded to root this device by using some tools but thousands others don’t.

There is any reliable answer to this? There is any difference in ROMs from country to country as far concerning rooting?

Thanks hondymondy for the reply but your version is: V21A/V20B

Thank you very much blkcavy98

Even if your link is down right now (after the last I posted I was disappointed since I have done a lot of search with no success, thus it took me a while to login again) I check on the site I search for:

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MaxWiz:
One seller on UK eBay has the Anker 1600mAh DZ battery for £7.39 inc postage. That is a bargain price by anyone's standard, so I thought I would give it a try.I was half assuming that it would be poor quality or a knockoff etc.

Had it for a week now. First 3 or 4 charges I was very careful to charge fully overnight and then let it run down to at below 15% before plugging it in again. Full charge/discharge cycles are good for battery calibration and the good for the battery itself (apparently?!)

I have been trying out lots of different ICS betas recently and they have been chewing through my battery pretty quick. Also my stock battery is the one that came supplied with my DZ over a year ago so it was a little tired.

I always charge overnight. On my tired stock battery I would just about get through the working day and would likely need to plug in around 7:00 if I wanted to use/tinker with my phone in the evening. With the Anker I am easily getting through to the evening without going near a power point. So can get all the usage I need on a single overnight charge - perfect!

What I cannot comment on is what performance I would get from a new stock battery. Obviously it might be just as good or even better but for this price these Ankers do a very good job.

I've just ordered two more and a second replacement backplate. Guess I'm coming to terms with the fact the HTC are not going to release a high build quality, high spec, qwerty slider in the near future :( So we better stock up on spares/consumables whilst they are abundant and cheap :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ChronoReverse:
I just started using an Anker battery last week and so far it's working quite well. I've heard that non-oem batteries can lose their capacities faster so I intend to do a rigorous retest a year later.

I'd avoid buying up batteries for use in the future though. Lithium Ion batteries age with time as well and will lose capacity even without use.

For now though, it does seem to come close to the claimed capacity which was nice. I did some tests that were more controlled than simply using it for a day:

ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute

Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging.
Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.

Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%

HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%

I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:

319minutes

~300ma

1595mah

99.7%
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] blindio_de:
Hi,

I recently bought the Anker 1600 and let AnTuTu Battery Tester run trough and got a Score of 630. In the AnTuTu Score Statistics it seems to be very good...

I am on Andromadus Beta3 (ICS) @1200Mhz

Don´t know what is this in comparision to the stock battery - I didn´t let the test run trough, maybe later. My stock batt is already over 1 yr old and I charged it almost every day or every 2nd day - so I don´t know if the result would be comparable...

Anyone knows about AnTuTu results of the stock battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] virtualflyer:
you should test it with the exact rom, got 466 with andromadus on a new installation 768mhz, can't exactly remember other settings.

I'm seriously thinking of getting a new battery.

Anker doesn't need sanding or an extended battery cover, right? can't understand why the OP needed to buy a new one
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] blindio_de:
No it fits fine with the original cover and is quite cheap as well - bought it at Amazon for abour 13 EUR including shipping. I think 466 is not so bad but I feel that Andromadus rom needs a lot of juice too.

With the new Anker I´ve got more or less the same duration like on cm 7.1 stable with stock battery...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mrbmg:
Just got my anker in, excited. It fit perfectly, was @ 67% when I put it in, going to charge it all the way up and see what kind of results I can get with this badboy.

I don't know why but I'm going to trickle charge down to 75 then back up, then down to 50 then back up then let it roll. Me just being stupid.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] blindio_de:
After a couple of recharges now I think the Anker is even getting better - but I am not getting more than 4hrs "screen on" @Andromadus. But for a 10EUR battery not bad.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Guru Zeb:
Hi guys

Could you guys please post here (or msg me) the ebay item number or seller name, etc for this Anker battery?? As even as a highly experienced ebayer with an account now for 11 years old, i find battery buying a complete minefield ........ sooooo many fakes that ebay take no action about.

So if am gonna try one of these, i'd at least like to get a genuine one.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chem23:
This is the one I bought yesterday:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220928813853

The seller gets good feedback from this and other forums and I'm pretty sure the batteries are genuine Anker. I believe it's the same seller as MaxWiz used as they were selling the same battery for £7.39 in February.

Can anyone please tell me how to get the best from a new battery? I hear different opinions on 'conditioning' batteries and do's and don'ts of charging/discharging.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chem23:
Damn good service from the seller! Bought on the Sunday, dispatched on the Monday and arrived this morning. One working day as opposed to the advertised 5-7.

From the packaging, it looks genuine. The seller also uses Amazon marketplace which is probably why it came in Amazon packaging. Learned that 4-5 full charges and full discharges is the right way to treat a new battery so that's what I'll be doing.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] demkantor:
I wouldn't fully discharge as its not good for it. Do a little more research, you'll find differing ways but the authorities on lithium ion batteries will tell you a full discharge is unhealthy
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chem23:
Thank you :)

As you mention, I've seen a variety of methods, some quite elaborate. The manual that comes with the Anker battery says 4-5 full charges/discharges.

Based on your knowledge, at what percentage would you recommend plugging back the charger?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] demkantor:
15 to 20%
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chem23:
Thanks, I'll do that.

I made the mistake of not charging it for several hours before letting it discharge. I unplugged when it got to 100% and let it drain to 84% before I read that the first charge should be several hours. I've plugged it back on charge again and will leave it overnight before unplugging. Hope I haven't knackered the battery :(
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] geojoking:
I'd also like to buy a battery, but it seems that the eBay seller from the link posted by Chem23 does not ship to Romania.

D'you have any recommendations as to what should I order, that ships to continental Europe (and Romania)?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mrbmg:
Just like to say I love this battery. I can easily get 12-13 hours of heavy, heavy use with it. The best I've gone with intermitted heavy use is 22 hours. That is definitely a far cry from the 8 hrs maybe I would get with the stock battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chem23:
The same seller sells via Amazon as LaptopMateUK. It may be worth looking at Amazon and checking if he can ship to Romania. Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 83nn0:
Just got one of these, looking good so far, been very disappointed with the stock batterys inability to cope with all my tinkering and screen on time, hoping this will be the answer or at least a competent spare to keep in my wallet....
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] geojoking:
Checked Amazon but shipping is pretty expensive to Romania, higher that the battery itself... I'll check a few local stores, maybe one'll have this battery for sale.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chillout:
I didn't find any other stores online where they send to the Europe mainland, and since i don't have a creditcard, I'm not able to buy on amazon. Anyone has any ideas where to get it instead?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Guru Zeb:
Hi folks

Soz for delays but just thought I'd update on my new battery.

1st delivery was very quick 2 days i think.

2nd the price has been dropped to £4.95 inc postage !!!!

So there is no reason to not get this battery.

Battery life with this battery is just short of amazing after using stock and other OEM batteries. I spent most of the entire day wifi-ing the other day must have been 7 hours straight ....... still had 20% battery left at end of day. :cool:

This must be easily the best bang for buck on standard door G2 batteries .... GET ONE !!!!!!!!! :D

Thanks for the link and all the info. Prob getting one for myself too :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smaisonville:
I have been using Anker battery for several months. Lasts longer than stock and cheaper too! I am happy with the purchase. I also got the wall charger too, it's convenient and will charge stock battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] spooke:
Just got my battery, on my third full charge - I have an issue though as the battery sits at 100% for a hour or two then drops to around 85% instantly. I also can't see the batteries temperature, it just sits at 25 degrees..

Anyone else have this issue? I have wiped the battery stats in recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arsonist63086:
I just got my battery (1600 anker) since the phone accidentally over charged the original htc battery and caused it to swell and make the phone cut of randomly or when a slight CPU load will occur.

I have the same issue with the battery temperature also the battery monitor is reading the battery as 1300 instead of the 1600. I'm still cycling it to calibrate the meter . All I need is for this battery to perform as well or better then the stock one and if it does I can live with the no temp or proper mAh.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] spooke:
Did you purchase it from the same guy as me??

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220928813853

Are you sure yours is a genuine battery? I charge mine over night and I have had no issues with the battery swelling or overheating. It just can't tell me the temperature - which isn't really a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arsonist63086:
My bad it was the original HTC battery that got over charger that's why I bought the anker 1600 since I saw this thread and the price was good. As for the anker being a real anker, the packaging looked very ladgit to me even took pix of it and no I didn't get it from that Guy I got it of someone else on eBay last week.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] spooke:
Ahh I see, yeah that looks exactly like mine, I just compared the packaging too. So I guess we both have legit batteries :)

Mine seems good so far, seems to last quite a bit longer than the original.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arsonist63086:
Oh ok that's good then. Ill be happy with the battery performing as good or better then the stock HTC battery for the price it was. If it out performs the stock one ima be a happy camper and recommend anker batteries to people ... ill post up my results when I I have a steady read on the battery
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arsonist63086:
Ok this battery is bad ass I got about 1.5days of use out of the phone know. I did a full charge when I 1st got it drained it charged it while off till green the drained to about 60% and charged again then drained to 35% then charged it while the phone was on (think thats wat you guys call a trickle charge). After that the normal use and drain test began and my results are

(Took the screen shots once the 15% warning popped up)

If I do say so myself that's damn good :eek: for a 10$(u.s.) battery
