I have been told at the sprint store that a replacement in the first year, without insurance will run $35.

Sent from my ePiC4gT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Yup I just said that this happened after an update. Kinda felt bad lying though lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tycoonbob:
So I spoke with someone at the Sprint store, and they basically said that if it required a replacement, I would be getting a refurb and it would be Wed at the earliest before they would have one for me. Instead of going in and dealing with them, I'm just going to do an insurance claim.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rth474:
per #13 use the mobile tech videos web site. i have several friends that have used them for this very issue and works like a charm.

i had the BLOD( blue light of death) and nothing will fix it! no jig and no JTAG
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
I had a problem with my USB port not recognizing mtp/Mass strorage. They replaced it for free with a refurb. No problems since. As for touch recovery, tried it once while on gb. Nearly bricked my device back then. And no ICS was available at the time. Thank goodness. Used sfhubs one click about 7 times before it finally booted . Just my opinion, and i apologize to any devs working on a touch recovery, but touch recovery is the devil to the E4GT. I won't ever use it. I do have a few versions on the pc for Library reference, but will i ever use it..even the new one, you are playing with fire. Ya won't ever find that recovery on my phone. I hope this is a lesson learned. Take it to sprint, use your insurance (that's what its for) and chalk it up to experience.

I want to know if im playing this and i receive a call, will the game end and will i have ro restart if i haven't saved, or i can resume the app after the call ends.

i want to know it for this 4 applications:

1) .emu emulators with autosave turned off (nes.emu md.emu snes9x ex).

2) fpse playstation emulator.

3) scummvm

4) android games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
If I get a phone call during playing games like Shadowgun, GTA 3 the highly intense graphical games just say during loading screens would the phone be able to hack recieving a call ? or would it freeze ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
The only one I know would work is 2) FPSE
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Any one knows about the other apps?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam3Sixty:
From what I have seen, almost everything I have on my phone just stays in memory when I get a call. All my emulators and games just pause when the call comes in, and other app's do the same, so I think its safe to say your not going to lose anything in the middle of a game.

If your really worried just pop your phone onto aeroplane mode and you wont get any calls, lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbu187:
I am an online gamer, console gamer, any gamer you might think of and Xplay does it job it pretty well in "freezing" the game you are playing when you are receiving a standard call or a call through wifi (apps like Viber, YM messenger, skype, etc.). You can still resume playing after the call. :D

[Droid X General] Lanaius:
I know I have seen a thread about this before but I can't recall if it was on XDA or perhaps Droid Life; XDA seems to be the generally more knowledgeable group of people so I thought I would ask here.

I experience frequent lockups and or reboots (I know one causes the other, so...) when doing most anything media related. They are related but come in two different varieties:

1. Music Playing. I typically only play music while on an airplane and most of my flights are at night, so I will try and load a playlist then lock the screen. Almost always I will get through about half a song and the phone will reboot. Testing has revealed the reliable way to cause this is simple: Start a song, lock the screen, turn the phone. It wont wake back up and if it does it will freeze until it reboots or you pull the battery.

2. Movie Playing. Since I obviously don't turn off the screen while the movie is playing, the above is not an issue. Sometimes - but not all the time - while using the built-in movie player the phone will be completely unresponsive. I cannot pause, stop, or change volume. The movie will continue to play just fine though. I haven't tested what happens when the file ends as I usually notice it near the beginning of a file and must have the ability to pause it. There's no reliable way to get this to happen, although it almost always happens while in-flight (again, the only time I really use it, so that doesn't mean anything).

I know other people have experienced these issues before, but are there any reliable SOLUTIONS? I have rooted before, before the 2.3 update. The 2.3 update bricked the phone and I SBF'd my way back - root was gone. I re-rooted some time later, then undid the root in order to use Flixter. Just yesterday I did the .621 update and again bricked the phone, SBF'd back to life again. I'm not ruling out the history of rooting to have causes these issues, but I'd like to fix it if I can.

Thanks to all!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] r.ciesla:
Hello all,

Maybe that will be a bit helpful, I've discovered SAFE MODE.

When I changed back shell in one of mine HTC Raiders, I left protecting tape on side buttons,

what means they were pushed-in all the time during powering up.

I was a bit surprised when watermark SAFE MODE came up in bottom left corner of my screen.

1. Pull battery out the phone.

2. Press power button and in the same time press and hold both volume buttons.

3. Hold both volume buttons down till you will see your home screen.

4. To exit SAFE MODE normally reboot phone.

I do not know what we can do in that mode yet.

But I think is hidden mode.

see screenshots.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
Yeah I got this too on my att vivid I am confused as to what this actually is for

Edit: I am also on 4.0.3 ics
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
I've used Safe Mode on other Android devices to uninstall apps that were causing force close loops (you know, boot the device, app force closes, restarts, force closes, never letting you get past a force close box). All it does is boot the phone without launching third-party apps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] r.ciesla:
Many thanks for that :)

No he means warez

Pretty much getting paid apps for free from someone who extracted the apk

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Ah no, Completely legal. This is the same as City ID with phone number stored in the database locally. The author created the app then choose not to develop it. Works the same way as City ID.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Its just general rules of the forum in the sticky above, not trying to be uptight, just keep XDA awesome:

I have no idea what CityID is or what it does. If this is a separately developed app that does the same thing as the paid one, then awesome, my apologies, move along. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
The difference is with Att city ID, you got free for 10 days then pay monthly subscription. This one does the samething but free for life.

Off topic a bit: To be honest, i doubted if no one has never done installed/downloaded a paid app/music/movie for free. They come to the room and pretending "I'm a virgin" make me laugh :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i think some people thought this was the city app that came with the phone, but its different, and is indeed free. probably should have just been posted in the apps section

its funny though in the app the developer says "help" he's being sued lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:
I have no problem with it, I was just stating what warez is. I actually installed it myself and thank you for the link.

I also agree with the app stealing virgins.

Be real if you know enough to be able to flash roms and root your phone, you can't tell me you never downloaded an apk for free from a paid app.

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well for one, I used to have a webOS phone. I have a soft spot for the OS. lol. I still think its an awesome operating system. Plus webOS is going to be fully open source within a year or so, so I think some really cool things will come to it from the developers. Plus, I can dual boot Android on it. So its a two for one type of thing.

I got my touchpad during the first fire-sale, it's running CM9, WebOS, and Arch Linux. It's AMAZING.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That's what I'm planning on doing. I can't wait. Is there anything cool the touchpad (or any other tablet) can do with an android phone other than use a wifi hotspot? This will be my first tablet.

same. its pretty cool but arch linux isnt really that good yet...

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

id say go for it if you want a pretty good tablet for ~$200. if it was normal price, $500, id say no. if i paid full retail it would not be good but for $200 who can go wrong!
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I wouldn't pay for a 500 dollar tablet. The 200 dollar price is what made me decide to get one. The waiting is the hardest part though. I have to wait for my tax return then order it and wait some more. Aahhh. Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Im thinking of picking up a Fire in the future...does it run ICS or CM9? My brother has one and it looks like it would do just enough for me. Does it have a dock a la ASUS Transformer? At $200, I cannot pass it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
i believe its def running cm9 at most, idk about ics though
[Motorola Droid X2] lhkjohn:
I love it! I'm a former Pre+ user, so it's sort of nostalgic for me. Had CM7 running on it for netflix, but found myself booting into webos almost exclusively, so I removed it all together.

I almost bought one full price when they first came out, but luckily wasn't super sure about tablets in general, but the fire sale came along and I jumped right on it.

Tapatalkin' from my CM7'd DROIDX2
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Same here. I used a pre plus before getting a Droid x2. Still play around with my phone here and there. Lol. Ive been missing webOS so this is a good way to get back into it. Plus, since it can dual boot android, if webOS doesn't have something, android probably will. From the looks of it, CM9 is pretty stable on it so it'll be nice to have two operating systems I've come to love.

[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
what rom are you running? if cm7 then regular wireless tethering

should

work. if not on cm7, then try foxfi from the market. you can use bluetooth or just plain infrastructure tethering. the problem with most apps is they use adhoc which the touchpad, ps vita and WP7 phones are not able to pick up. its stupid but most OS's dont support it for some reason :/
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
yeah, I've been reading about the adhoc thing. I've tried open garden wifi tether and tried using the Bluetooth option but even though the touchpad says its connected and says its connected for internet use, the internet doesn't work. don't know if I have it set up wrong or what. I'll try foxfi.

I'm running eclipse right now. I've read that cm7's built in wifi hotspot might work. I might have to switch back and see. Would like to know if anyone has had success with that before I do though.
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
oh ive used the cm7 wi-tether all the time. i used it when i was in the airport on my way to the super bowl. **** airport wifi charges...

Open superuser, check in settings, there's an option to full unroot your device, next step would be to restore stock recovery, how? I dunno, we don't currently have an image, but you can look in the OTA file for your device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] imran1000:
asasda

By performing stock ruu u get the bootloader and stock recovery back thenu can simply flash the stock rom u have backed up before rooting u r done super user will also be removed!

Next step will be to write the CID which is same as changing it but u should know ur default code after this get S-on(not necessary)

If u r on ICS use hasson's AIO toolkit and select mainver fix option that's how it would let downgrade the hboot and ruu(rom)
