[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
I'm curious as to the success rate of returning bricked phones to Verizon and actually getting a replacement whether you did it through insurance (which should always work) or the original warranty. It's mainly what is holding me back from unlocking it and going to town. This wouldn't be anywhere near my first phone I've flashed or anything, although it would be the first non-samsung. I'm mainly hesitant because if I brick it and get stuck with it I have no replacement phones with me at school and would obviously lose my ability to contact family/friends until I could get one.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
When the screen died on my last Rezound, which was Unlocked and rooted and did not have any insurance, they had absolutely no issues sending me a replacement.

Its been over a month now, my new Rezound is working great and I don't think expect to hear back from Verizon that there was a problem with my returning an unlocked and rooted rezound.
[HTC Rezound] djdubd:
I've returned two both "relocked", no issues whatsoever.

My phone was unlocked & rooted and wouldn't power on. 2 days later I received my replacement under warranty.

My buttons are actually red now :cool:

I have returned at least 4 phones to vzw store with root and custom rom on them. have never had any questions asked.
[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
I broke the screen on mine. :( Used the insurance via online. They sent me a replacement of EVERYTHING (Phone, cables, battery, 4g card, SD Card and the headphones) and only asked for the phone itself back. Nothing else wanted. Was simple and painless...

Best part is... I have a spare battery, battery cover, extra SDCard, extra 4g card AND another set of Beats headphones. All for $90. Cannot beat that. :D
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
I've sent back 7 Rezounds all unlocked and rooted, and never unrooted/relocked any of them..and never ever ever had a problem

Do you eat the internals and then send back the empty shells? Haha 7 rezounds?

I have a problem with downloading the Step 1 and Sep 2 files.

1. Install the ADB drivers, using my other thread here (WINDOWS ONLY)

2. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed and have access to adb

3. Open up a command window (Windows key + R, type cmd and hit enter)

4. Type, with your tablet plugged in:

Code: adb devices

Your device should appear. If not, repeat steps 1-4 until it does. You may need to restart your computer

5. Download Step 1 and Step 2 Note: (this link seems not working) :(

what kind of files are these and is there an other way of getting them?

Kind Gegards Edwin

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took some time to finally get the files and working (or trying) to root my Archos 101 G9 Turbo.

An other thing everybody must know is that when you have Ice Cream (pre) installed on you tabled (version 4.04) it is wise to down grate to a lower Firmware.

This you can do by downloading firmware from the Archos website :

Download Archos 80/101 G9 OS v 3.2.80 (179826Kb)

Make an backup (if needed)

Boot Archos with power and volume + (recovery menu)

Delete and format system on tablet (so no firmware is on it anymore)

Make sure that you have installed the ADB drivers, using my other thread here (WINDOWS ONLY)

Boot up your tablet connected to your computer via USB-cable.

into the Recovery menu choose update firmware.

An popup on computer will appear, open the drive en copy the firmware..aos file on this drive.

Press power button on tablet so the firmware can install itself.

With this version you are able to root your tablet without any errors.

When you are done rooting you van easily do the update to Ice Cream using : clic on this

[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
hi guys,

I'm trying to port the new XperiaS Launcher to other android devices and our device but i need some help...

The first time i tried to install it it failed because of missing libraries so i searched a little and found it was caused by the missing file named "com.sonyericsson.facebook.proxy_1_impl.jar" that was located in /system/framework so i copied it to my /system/framework folder set permissions and tried installing again but now i am getting the error;

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

so i did the install again but only now i had a logcat running and i found in the logcat this code:

[PackageParser.java:521:collectCertificates()] Package com.sonyericsson.home has no certificates at entry resources.arsc; ignoring!

and that is the point where i am stuck...

Here are the files: (attached bellow)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
take a look at the attachment. :)

i have got a standalone, but sadly it has some glitches like the folder(the square one), not showing the apps inside on the label.

nevertheless, am attaching it for you. take a look and mod it the way you want. :)...just install it normally.
[LG Optimus Black] kaassaus:
Nice launcher only sad that there are glitches is it possible to make it right?
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
thats just the 2.0 version modified to look like the xperias version :P
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
just modded the 2.0 version that fits on our screen(480x800) and added XperiaS Icons etc.

Download attached
[LG Optimus Black] kaassaus:
Is this from the real xperia s?

And can someone make a sony xperia s theme for cm7?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
xperia "S" theme or not, there is a VERY extensive and well themed "xperia" theme for CM7....it's called "xperia arc -donate"....it is paid app on market, but the dev was kind enough to share the donate version with dropbox for xda users. use tim's modded launcher with that theme. will look awesome....i used it when i was at CM7...check my screenshots before trying here ;) :-

[LG Optimus Black] kaassaus:
I know that theme but i like the xperia s more;)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Xperia S full UI and feeling on our Optimus Black would be awesome. :thumbup:

@timvdhoorn : I found an Home.apk from a thread (sorry can't remember which one) and with the two files shared by Achyut (com.sonyericsson.facebook.proxy_1.xml and com.sonyericsson.facebook.proxy_1_impl.jar), needed for making work SE Arc home, I got no problem, if we don't count the fact that it is not optimized for our screen.

Hope you understand my english. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] somethingnothing:
I dropped my white galaxy s2 yesterday and it has a semi steep dent on it. Luckily everything is working fine. Anyone know I can get a replacement of the aluminum bumper that surrounds the side of the phone? I've done a a few search and couldn't find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spork McBork:
Hi Something,

Unfortunately a part like this is usually fused with the front housing assembly on the device. A quick google search yielded the following result...

globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-SGH-T989-Front-Housing-p/smsng6110920.htm

You'd have to replace the entire front housing assembly on the device...not the easiest part swap, but still entirely doable.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Nick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
If you do this, looks like you'll have a black T989 :D

Get a case and cover it up, best and easiest option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRODZ2020:
That really sucks. I dropped my also on wood floor and cracked the left corner.Great phone but too sensitive. I need a light but strong case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Any case that provides reasonable protection for a phone is not going to be 'light' or thin. There's a reason why they add bulk and it is to absorb the kinetic energy that would otherwise damage your phone.

I had a similar incident happen while out partying for few days straight. A rugged fall onto some ragged asphalt made for some bezel splitting/pitting. I called T-mobile because my phone was "acting weird" and they exchanged it for me no hassles.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajtorres14:
Is that actually aluminum I thought it was just aluminum colored, well if it is aluminum, you can always try a really, really fine sandpaper ex.1000,1500,2000 even 5000, I had a HTC Sensation (Made Chrome), and I dropped a few times, had chips and scratches which I fixed with sandpaper and 1000 to 2000+Blue Magic. Hope this can help but remember try at your own risk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevinbear:
I looked into replacing this part when I dropped and dented my phone. Unfortunately, to replace it you have to replace the entire front half of the phone. And unfortunately, the screen is adhered in place. From what I found, you need to have the proper tools (uses heat, I believe) to release the screen, and then reapply it to the new housing. I cracked my OLED while attempting this. Luckily I was able to put it back together and get it replaced under the insurance. Bought myself a case immediately upon receiving the new phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] ladynaamah:
my friends phone got waterlogged, unfortunately the water got into display itself... everything was perfectly dried and works fine with exception of display... it got occassionally lines on it (it was unreadable for about an hour after reassembly) and while underlighted it is still full of water (the display consists of many layers) anyone has some cheap way of getting the water safely out? (it might not be even clean water, it was a tap water which may contain various minerals)
[HTC Wildfire S] nutpants:
I have always used a meat dehydrator.you know ,the things that make beef jerky. 48 hours in that will dry it out as safe as you can get. (mine dose not heat up much past 40c.) You don't want it too warm or too much forced air flow.
[HTC Wildfire S] ladynaamah:
okay, will silica gel + heat from radiator (not much, just to force the water into steam form) do the job too? also, do you think that cleaning the display with distilled water is good idea? afaik distilled water is non-conductive when properly distilled and it might clean the minerals (if any present) from tap water...
[HTC Wildfire S] ladynaamah:
okay, after one day letting it dry on its own while used (friend doesnt have any working spare phone and so i - so i put it together, hoping it will not corrode because of increased humidity) in phone the display is about 50% dried out and the dried space is like new one, no dirty stains at all, so i'm not gonna open it again :) those flex cables doesn't look robust enough for daily manipulation :) anyway thanks for your help :)
[HTC Wildfire S] BvOBart:
Don't forget to use the thanks button to thank the ones who helped you :)
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
If it ever happens again, or if someone else stumbles on this, just throw the phone in a tub if uncooked rice. Open or closed, it'll do the same thing.

[HTC Wildfire S] sky_86:
One of the best way to dry phone after flooding is to put it into the glass of rectified spirit. Alcohol mixes with water and leaches minerals (clears electronic parts). Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature, making drying easier.
[HTC Wildfire S] BvOBart:
True. And once it's dry, then you'd better hope it didn't short-circuit because of the water... Then you would just be left with a waterlog... I heard Apple has a great deal of experience with water damage xD

If the rom you are using is not yet a fully stable rom then it could have battery drain problems, although battery drain is usally how you use your phone. Look what apps are running when you notice your battery running down fast, as it could be one of those.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimral:
Do you have many widgets?

Especially Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget (moreover if you activate the meteo forecast) will constantly drain your batter in search for your position. Wifi uses less juice than 3G connections.

Happened to me back at GB 2.3.4. Battery went down to 60% in 3 hours (at the office I'm on G...so even worse cuz the battery compensates for the lack of coverage). After I removed Fancy Widgets from the screen everything went back to normal.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mmcounts:
I have searched around and can't seem to find a similar problem with a solution that I can understand. I used superoneclick to root my Verizon Galaxy 7" tablet. Everything seemed to go fine, but I really didn't have time to do anything "techy" with it. After a couple of weeks the tablet was acting kind of glitchy, nothing terrible, so I should have just left it alone. Instead I tried to do a complete factory reset. I tried several times, but it would never completely reset. My personalized wallpaper would show up, then all my apps were still there, settings didn't appear to change, etc.

I tried using Hemdall and loading new cache, param, system & zImage files. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. The machine will power up to the setup wizard, but every step generates multiple FCs until the setup wizard itself FC. Then it powers down and starts all over again. "Wipe data/factory reset" produces no change to the problem.

At this point I just want to restore my tablet to stock. No root, nothing fancy.

Can someone recommend a clear, easy to follow, current tutorial for me. I have downloaded Odin, but am uncertain which ROM I need to use. I really don't care which method you recommend as long as it is detailed (ie. written for a complete idiot to follow).

Thanks for any help.

7 or 7.7

Regarding the 7 or 7.7 question: I don't know which it is because I can't get it to boot up long enough to go into settings. According to the label it is an SCH-i800. It was purchased from Verizon in March 2011. I am pretty sure that it is a 7. Is there any way to tell just by looking at it?

Just determined it is a 7.0 per the Samsung webpage.

I guess I am in the wrong forum again. I am going to post in the General Galaxy Tablet forum.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Some boot loop problems can be solved by letting the battery go flat overnight to get out of the loop, recharging then booting normally and doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work then re-flashing using Odin followed by a factory reset is worth trying.

You can get the firmware for flashing here:

http://www.samfirmware.com/

and a guide how to do the flashing here:

I hope this helps and good luck
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
Verizon only sells the silver version of the 7.7, for which the model number is SCH-I815. If you have a plastic back, it's the 7, and an aluminum back is the 7.7. Of course, since posted your model I can tell you for sure it's the 7, so you might have better luck posting in the appropriate forum.

Depending on how SuperOneClick works for the tab (I have no idea personally), you might just be best taking it to Verizon and asking for a replacement. I find it unlikely that they'd be able to detect that it has been rooted if it's totally fubar'd.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorg:
It's because SGSII supports 3-buttons headset. Main button use short cirquit, while two other use resistors to make specific ADC value. Probably your headset somehow doesn't produce lower enough ADC value to make main button code. May be because of wires used in your headset or button resistance.

What u need is to remove ADC comparison value in sec_jack.c: function sec_jack_buttons_work:

this code:

adc = sec_jack_get_adc_data(hi->padc);

for (i = 0; i < pdata->num_buttons_zones; i++)
if (adc >= btn_zones[i].adc_low &&
adc <= btn_zones[i].adc_high) {
hi->pressed_code = btn_zones[i].code;
input_report_key(hi->input_dev, btn_zones[i].code, 1);
switch_set_state(&switch_sendend, 1);
input_sync(hi->input_dev);
pr_info("%s: keycode=%d, is pressed\n", __func__,
btn_zones[i].code);
return;
}

change to this:

i=0;
hi->pressed_code = btn_zones[i].code;
input_report_key(hi->input_dev, btn_zones[i].code, 1);
switch_set_state(&switch_sendend, 1);
input_sync(hi->input_dev);
pr_info("%s: keycode=%d, is pressed\n", __func__,
btn_zones[i].code);
return;

in other words: just remove ADC compare and make all buttons act as a play/pause
