Actually the batteries and chargers on new phones have a 90 warranty that Tmobile can honor. After that the batteries cannot be replaced thru them but have to go thru the manufacturers under their 12 month warranty. The insurance and lifetime warranty do not extend the battery warranty either.

If it was an aftermarket battery ... Which it sounds like it is ... since the stores do not sell batteries... of course the stores or customer service reps would not have the warranty info ... obviously.

If the charger is what you are talking about and it was purchased in the store then like many other places there is a return date and usually have to have a receipt and after that i'm sure it falls back to the manufacturers warranty. No receipt then they really can't do much except look thru paper receipts one by one for a date and an around about time of day ... Which is usually guessed. But that's why they give those things out to keep .. So if you don't have it .. That's not on them.

Soooo you left out a lot of details with what exactly it was and what is going on.

Thanks for fixing my info. I knew it was more than 30 days. :)

Lol no problem ... Let's just say i'm familiar with this stuff :)

Oh and that wasn't really meant to correct you or anyone .. It was meant for the OP.

No harm done. . Lets say i was familiar many years ago when i was answering many inbound calls. Many things have changed since then.

I work for T-Mobile, and the battery and charger unit have a 90 day manufacture warranty.

lol simple, go to a different carrier
[Networking] iLeopard:
Sorry but that's hardly relevant. Keep in mind that most of the reviews are typically from people that have the strongest experiences. Nobody says..." great service, makes me feel like adding a review!!!" I bet you haven't or hardly do it unless you have a really bad or really good experience. Those reviews are skewed.

I'm really naive.
[Networking] DaveinSoCal:
i completely agree, most people write reviews for bad service, rarely do they ever praise for good service. When you do find the praising kind of review those are usually written by an employee of the location or someone close.

[General Questions and Answers] Freddy_Biga:
Hi guys, first of all I don't know if you need a General presentation of me... anyway... I have that good toy mentioned in the title and I'm looking for a way to interop-unlock it... I've studied for a week (I'm a computer programmer and I spend much of day on the computer so it's usual for me... :) ) and I would like to know if after the download of Network _Setup v.1.0.0.0.xap I can reset the phone firmware to the first (the one that was on the phone when I bought it, with no upgrades...) and try to fully unlock it (I have already unlock it with the student's developer account, app hub and so on... but it's not enough for me...:) ) with the Heathcliff interop-unlocker.xap... Is this possible? :confused:

Here's my device information:

Nokia Lumia 800

Vodafone SW variant ID212 v.01

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

OS version: 7.10.8107.79

I used the Nokia_Interop_Unlock_by_Heathcliff74.xap but no results, now I can't install more .xap, I have the error Error - 0x81030120
[General Questions and Answers] Freddy_Biga:
I tried too... Same results, but I think it should be due to the updates of OS... Windows, as I read, made an update to fix a bug that allowed app to entry or modify register keys... but... If you don't have the updates (virgin OS, the first) you should be able to do that... Am I wrong guys of xda?

So probably if you reflash the first OS that was in the device, and retry the heathcliff hacking after got a "Network Setup" not upgraded (v. 1.0.0.0 ???) version and deployed it in the phone using the Application deployer...

I think I will try this way soon... If anybody as any suggestions.......
[General Questions and Answers] Heathcliff74:
Hi,

Unfortunately not possible (yet). No-one managed to do this on a NOKIA so far. I'm trying, but the NOKIA's are well-protected.

I hope to find an unlock asap, but there is really no way to tell if or when I will succeed.

Ciao,

[Nexus S General] doubleblack:
Hi All,

So I'm on a i9020a with 4.0.3 looking to upgrade to 4.0.4, slight problem...I encrypted my SD card with the newly gifted upon me ability to encrypt my phone in Ice Cream Sandwich. Problem is, I can't upgrade via recovery because it can't mount my SD card. And, this is beyond stupid, but apparently you can't decrypt without factory resetting your phone. What do I do?!?

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] m-p{3}:
My guess would be that you'll have to wait for the OTA update.
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
I'd say wait for OTA as well.

Full phone encryption is a pretty drastic security measure, don't expect to find any easy workarounds. The fact that you can't flash/change anything without formatting is intentional and, in my opinion, well thought.
[Nexus S General] doubleblack:
Well my thought is that OTA would put update on SD card also, and thus I may never be able to update? Even if I could, it's not like an i9020a release looks imminent...

Nonetheless, I understand the logic behind the "well thought out" way you can't factory reset - but in my opinion that is stupid. If I choose to decrypt my phone, I should be able to do so...
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I highly doubt it was designed in a way that would not allow OTA updates.
[Nexus S General] lithid-cm:
Why not just move you contents over to your pc, factory reset then move it back over?
[Nexus S General] doubleblack:
I recently did that in order to unlock my bootloader so I could install ICS in the first place, don't want to have to do it again :(

Lose all my settings, saves games, etc.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Once encrypted, cant you 'decrypt' it?
[Nexus S General] doubleblack:
I know! My thoughts exactly...if you ever want to do anything to your phone again you must do a factory reset in order to break encryption...
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
In my eyes... just do it :D
[Nexus S General] mister.c:
You can backup 'crypted ICS

I was in the same boat as the OP. I did a full backup using ADB and was able to restore after doing a factory reset (which removed the 'cryption).

If I was to do it again I'd try to force it to backup the APKs as well. If that isn't possible you'll want to reload all your apps and update them before restoring. Restoring won't add your accounts either, so make sure to add them all in first.

To speed up the backup process I'd prune your USB storage partition as backing that up seems to be compulsory when dealing with this setup.

Of course I ran into the same problem every other AWS user has run into and being not interested in the additional reset required to unlock my boatloader for the workaround here I sit and wait :-)
[Nexus S General] dabl8:
This poster came up with interesting solution: mount a tmpfs at /sdcard and push the rom on to it http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24923240&postcount=16 . If necessary you could selectively delete parts of your /data and /cache once it is up an running.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad.AlDossary.2:
The issue has been resolved. I used Rom Manager to install a rom found on "Official OTA ICS 4.0.4 for GSM Nexus S (CWM Flashable version)" thread here on XDA.

I'm a noob at Android and this is my first post so please excuse any mistakes.

I am running rooted stock android 4.0.3 on Nexus S

baseband version: I9020XXKI1

kernel version: 3.0.8-gb55e9acandroid-build@apa28 #1

build number: IML74K

I wanted to flash the new update 4.0.4 found on:

Android police "Official Android 4.0.4 (IMM76D) Update Comes To The Nexus S - Here's How To Get It Right Now [Download]"

but when I tried to flash it on stock recovery an error message came up:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Maps.apk", "f20fe23967bd8b772c595a382de9cb0637be6a60", "940268c3ffbde58b96b58e65c3ba3800ae7e1aa9")

E: Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted​

a while back, I tried a method I read about to enable Google navigation at any location and I guess this is the cause of the problem.

I tried:

"Factory data reset" from the settings

"wipe data/factory reset" from system recovery

"wipe cache partition" from system recovery
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
If you have the i9020T then try this:

-Connect to WiFi (Can't be done on data)

-Go to your dial pad.

-type in: *#*#CHECKIN#*#* ---- *#*#2432546#*#*

this will force check for OTA's.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saad.AlDossary.2:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniuwoo:
You format the data and the cache on the stock recovery and then flash the full ROM of 4.0.3 and you'll be back to stock ROM.

I cant change the color of the press. Does anyone know where the .9.png's are? Or which ones?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:

[Epic 4G General] monstaX:
But shouldnt it be blue because it is ICS and the highlight color is blue :P
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Nope... the cm devz kept what was blue blue and what was yellow yellow.. not saying they're lazy but they didn't theme it... I guess its based on cyanogens framework so. Ya get what get just extract the frameworks contents and look through the drawble-hdpi and you'll find a bunch of yellow selections.
[Epic 4G General] monstaX:
Dammit!!Getting frustrated here -.-. I cant find it. I even changed the one that said "highlight_pressed" and nothing. maybe because when I save as and then put the .9.png's im putting a bunch of .9.png's and not just one. could this be it? I doubt it.

I did like half of what I was trying to do. The highlight works in xda app. But I want to change the blue from when ur in home the press menu then"select" system setting. Can't get it >:/

Update-Getting these together. It looks pretty good. Will be done maybe by sunday. Maybe an update will be out by then:/. But its ok!!. Its looking beastly
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
The framework is because Google is lazy. Most of the images you'll want to edit are in SystemUI.apk, but there are still a couple hundred images from framework-res that are still used. Fwiw, I'd theme everything. Never know nowadays if an image in a framework is used or not lol.

I have had some isuses with verizons 4G LTE network and am thinking of going 100% AT&T again. I still have my galaxy S2 and like it alot, but want 720p and LTE. the S4 seems nice too.

I may wait for the galaxy S3 or maybe verizon can some how fix this crap. (Yea right)

Any way: I won't do it with out a unlimited data plan, becuase I don't see a use for LTE and 720p with only 3GB to play with. ( I have a "unlimited non-smartphone" data plan on my GT-9100 but I don't think it will work with this phone.)

I have made a list of pros and con's for this phone:

Pros:

1) It will be out soon.

2) It's on AT&T's BETTER LTE network.

3) The 28nm S4 seem's like a blast vs any thing else.

4) The 720P SLCD2 seems alot better this time vs the SLCD of 2011.(I will need to see this for myself, to make sure it lives up to the videos I have seen.)

5) HTC can make a good phone when they make it the "ONE". LOL

Con's:

1) It's GPU does not seem like a big boost VS the CPU power.

2) Non-removable battery. ( If this phone acts like my RAZR, I will be yelling NOOOOOO like in the movies. If it's better than my S2 at not locking up, then not so bad.)

3) No SD cards. ( I would be alot more ok if they had 32 and 64GB phones for sale.)

4) I don't like the buttion layout. ( I wish it was like the S2 with a push down home key.)

ok so to be or not to be HTCed. :) ready set comment

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dullahan263:
I would wait for the S3 as Samsung promised much better battery life (maybe around 2300mAh+). The LG Optimus 4X also has 2100mAh battery. Hopefully they could deliver 7-8 hour screen time which would be a dream. I would 120% get one if that was the case. One X's battery is meh (1700mAh), maybe around 4-5h screen time max.

I don't know about the One X display, but my Sensation display looks pathetic compared to my girl's S2. SAMOLED is just so much prettier than anything else.

No microSD is also sad :(.

But i love HTC designs and Sense UI that's why i chose HTC. ICS Touchwiz is one big fat uggo (albeit very smooth).

If you want best spec, you may want to wait for the S3, if you want pretty and useful experience, i guess you cannot go wrong with the One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 4ktvs:
I am more for useful than "pretty".

It's a 50/50 split on a ONE XL fourm. LOL

I really want my next phone to be LTE, but I will say H+ can be pretty good and even play in the same court in REAL world phone use. When I first got my GT-9100, I took it in to a verizon store and mobed the foor with all the best phones all the way every time intill the RAZR tied or beet it most of the time. (I should have seen, the phone had isuses, but I wanted unlimited LTE so bad, becuase my home internet sucks.)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You have the unlimited dumb phone plan on AT&T? If you buy any smartphone from AT&T, they will switch you to a smartphone plan. Not positive, but I don't think they can switch you to an unlimited smartphone plan in this case. But it never hurts to ask (demand?).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wdc777:
I understand your desire for LTE, but have you thought about going with the HTC One X? It doesn't have LTE, but I think the support will be much greater over on those forums. Not to mention, since it won't come with an IMEI that AT&T will recognize considering it's an "international" phone, you should be able to just pop the sim in that you have now for your S2.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that would work for you. Yes, it wouldn't be subsidized, but you bought an international S2, so I assume that wouldn't be a problem for you. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] junodragon:
Wouldn't the SIM card be different though? I heard the One X will be using a micro-SIM and AT&T phones use the standard SIM card?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] senkulpa:
The phones will be using microSIM, and those are available from most providers upon request.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 4ktvs:
Well I know for sure the odds are stacking up against the razr. Fac reset has failed me and I knew it would, but you know how it is.

Update: They are sending me a refurb. I don't know if this will fix anything, but AT&T is looking better and better to come back to 100%

Update2: I think I will wait and see what the galaxy s3 has to bring to the table. This Droid Razr I have sucks eggs by the way. I don't care for subs, but I don't really want to buy any more "3G"/H+ phones. After having a 4G LTE phone no matter how much it sucks, you still will feel the need for 15+mbs every now and then. My ISP sucks too and I like Netflix so yea. I used 94GB on Verizon one time, because I could only pull less than 1mbs DL from my ISP and I pay for 10mbs DL and 1UL. The funny part is I get 100kbs more UL speed than I pay for, but 1/2 to 1/10 of the DL speed I pay for.( TWC SUCKS)

Ok thats all for now

[Thunderbolt General] TXI Kaze:
Restored my phone to stock two days ago and updated from Froyo to Gingerbread. Official HTC/Verizon update. Guess what? Broke my internet (in the best way to say it.) I had flaky 3G connection and no 4G at all. Most of the time, it would be at 1X or no data connectivity at all.

Went through all the steps of soft resets, pulling battery, factory resetting, toggling mobile network state, toggling data connectivity, toggling roaming, toggling between CDMA only and CDMA/LTE. You name it (in the range of things that didn't void warranty) and I did it. Nothing.

So I call customer service, and the woman said that she WOULD send out a SIM card, but it'd be faster for me to go to the Verizon store and they'd replace it for free, no hassle. So, went down to the store (It's only about five minutes from my home) got it switched out, bam. Had 3G, that was it. The rep was pretty busy and wanted to rush me out, so he said "It's fine, just give it ten minutes. Thanks for coming by." Twenty minutes later, sitting in my room and notice that...oh darn, no internet connectivity at all. Went through all the basic steps again, and nothing.

By this point, raging.

Call their tech support and they say that they're sending me a new thunderbolt (yay!) So, yesterday it came in (after I had to call Fed Ex and correct my address because the woman completely got it wrong lol) Unbox it, put in my SIM and SD cards and my battery, start it up. Worked just fine. Praise Jeebus! Left it that way for the rest of the night because I didn't need to use my phone, but when I made a call this morning, I realized that my phone speaker was making a grinding metallic buzzing like noise...

Great.

So I call in, and the techie I talked to told me to call Asurion since it was a CLNR (Made me mad since they said it'd be a brand new phone) and they told me I'd have to pay a deductible! So I hung up and called Verizon back (still using a rather polite tone after all the bull****) and quickly gave them the whole story and informed them of how Asurion wanted me to pay $100 for a new phone because the phone I had JUST gotten was broken and was shipped that way. They apologized, said they didn't know why Asurion would do that, and said I should have another Thunderbolt on my doorstep tomorrow.

If this one is busted as well, I'm going to throw away Mr. Nice Guy and raise hell. I've been with Verizon for almost four years now and they just keep giving me the runaround. This is absurd. Not the first time some crap like this has happened because of a malfunctioning phone.
