[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpeedYY:
i own a WP7 right now xD so it´s comparable with that Automatic transmission car either :D - nearly not customization- but works and the user doesn't realize it. And im sick of WP7 because they don´t have as many apps as all other OS' got. The second thing i hate about it is the way how you have to unlock it... COMPLICATED :/ ( i bricked my WP7 :'D ) - The third thing i hate about WP7 are the high prices for apps... ( 2,99€ for Doodle Jump -.- )

Android: custom Roms ( Lite'ning Rom for example - but unfortunately non of my friends is using a custom Rom for Android -.- ), easy sideloading, cheap apps ( dunno about the quality of the apps - if someone could tell me how the quality is like i would thank that guy :) - )

iPhone: high Quality apps, nice design, MUST HAVE PHONE

Having a 4.7" screen is great ;) but 5.x" like the Note has just sucks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Well the beauty of Android is you can pick the screen size anything from just over 3" to 5". Personally I don't want anything much over 4" and like a keyboard so the Droid 3 was my best choice. Phones shouldn't be one size fits all and manufacturers will build whatever size phones sell. Large screens has been an untapped market so 2012 is the year of large screens. But as long as there is demand for < 4" screens then they will still be produced.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
Not for all of us, some prefer a large screen. I like my 4.3 inch screen but unless like me someone uses phone a lot for browsing or gaming then a smaller screen like iphone is probably better for them.

Apple is a great beginner device that is simple. Android is targeted to more involved advanced users.

[Acer Iconia A500] joshumax:
I'm a little new to the acer iconia a500 and just rooted it using the 3.2.1 rooting method on xda. Well the first thing i did was make a backup on mybackup to /mnt/sdcard. And i forgot that was still a system partition.... So when I followede the rooting pdf and rooted it, everything, and i mean EVERYTHING was gone, as if it was factory reset. My question is if i can get any data back?
[Acer Iconia A500] gunness1991:
lol. nope.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Double Nope. It's been formatted.
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
I find if its that important to you to transfer to PC.... The chances of having the info I need on the wrong partition and my main PC dying are pretty thin, I think....:D
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
this happened to me when i used the downgrade to get the 4.0.3 leak off my tablet. i made a big stink about there being ZERO warning that its a format and not a re-flash like the 3.0 downgrade method, judging by your experience you can see how little the guy who came up with that method cares about what he does to someone else's tablet without warning.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
First rule of flashing, backup to a known SAFE location. Don't go blaming other people for your own stupidity.
[Acer Iconia A500] joshumax:
Thats what i thought....

Would have been nice to have put that in bold red letters on the post.... roots at least still worth it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Formatting storage will always wipe stored data. It's been that way since, like, forever.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
I intentionally formatted my Iconia using the rotation lock toggle, then just for kicks, I tried out a few data recovery programs on it. I was able to recover almost everything from the tablet that I wanted using Recuva, even apks from my download folders.

Here's a link, http://www.piriform.com/recuva.

While this won't help to restore your tablet, you can at least salvage your pics and stuff.

Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] joshumax:
How do you map the iconia as a drive letter? Recuva seems to need it mapped as a letter to work.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
not sure if its what your looking for. as i do not know that recovery program ;)

but to map a network drive .. From a windows computer go to Network then at the top click tools then map network drive. Follow the instructions. You may need to go into my computer . providing you have full path shown in folder options. You can highlight the iconia partitions . then copy the location an the bar at top of page. Past it into the correct location back in the map network drive tool.

hope this is not to complicated or steps missing . typed in a hurry and from memory . its easy to do something then miss a step explaining it.

by the way NEVER EVER EVER FLASH NOTHING Without DATA BACKED up someplace off the device. i backup to ftp site and to my notebook as well as on my sd card.

If this is helpful smile .:)
[Acer Iconia A500] joshumax:
Sadly that's the first thing I tried. It didn't work....

Either way having plasma active port on my iconia is worth it.

Just having a little poll here of which ROM u like best either a sense based ROM or CM
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
I'm as cyanogen junky. Sense rom's are to heavy for me. To much going on and a lot of functions I don't use that just take up space.

If you like to personalize your rom's with customizations like I do cyanogen is the way to go.

Plus they just released a 7.2 and possibly a v9 soon.

Sent from Soundwave aboard Nemesis.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
CM all day. When I rooted almost a year ago I flashed CM7 and haven't gone back to sense at all since then. I like the look of sense, but it's too much bloat. I like sense more than touchwiz or motoblur, but I wouldn't use any of them over stock android.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
First HTC, it has only had Sense. Starting to get a hankering for 4.0, too bad the One X has no SD slot. My upgrade is coming, then I will go wild on my Inspire. Maybe CM9 or something from the Collective, but Sense is purty.

Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.
[HTC Inspire 4G] major fecker:
Cyanogen

I've only been flashing for a few months but once I started I was soon flashing everything new that was released. This led me to overlook CM 7.1 which was over 6 months old but when I finally did I wished I'd done it months ago. Its stable, incredibly fast and customizable to a fantastic degree. I love it and don't know if I'd go back to Sense, we'll have to c what official ICS Sense release is like but I'm really waiting for CM9.

[General Questions and Answers] bumblebetta:
Hi.

I installed the CM7 on Droid X.

I can't seem to sign into my google account. It doesn't have the google apps either.

I downloaded gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip. I used the ROM manager to "Install ROM from SD Card". I clear the cache. It boots up and I still have no google products.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some step that I am missing/doing incorrectly?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Hayth:
Did you try flashing gapps through cwm recovery instead? I believe that's the best way to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] bumblebetta:
I am not exactly sure how that is done.

This is my first ROM and I am surprised I got it to work!... well almost. :-) So proud of myself, rooting it and all ...and now customizing it. I had no other option- phone was too slow.

Anyway...

Can I have more of a step-by-step using the software/device that I have?

EDIT: I can't seem to find anything online about it. I thought that what I did was "flash" it.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Go back to thread thread you got the from from. It is a well known fact that rooms will never include any google apps. They have to be flashed separately. A search would have told you this.

You have to flash the gapps zip after you flash the rom. The se way you flashed the rom. Please do some reading before you end up with a brick that can't be returned due to voided warrenty
[General Questions and Answers] arief347:
You can flash gapps !!!! :D

I have googled and googles and tried several methods to root XXLC1 from a Mac and cannot manage it... any good sites with walk through using say Heidmall as I'm at my wits end waiting for ICS.... seems to be a good Easter long weekend project if any of you guys would be able to help me out...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bcn_nospam:
Let me help you a bit and point you to the right direction.

1. Do some reading, all the material is here and some of the guides are really well done - for example http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

2. LC1 is not directly routable, you need to go through an earlier rooted/rootable kernel

3. And then you'll be able to upgrade again to LC1 while maintaining root

4. This method requires the use of Odin PC, no Mac version that I'm aware of, do you have access to a PC? Or a VM Windows machine running under VMWare Fusion?

5. There are lots and lots of options and alternatives, so I'll tell you what has worked best and easiest for me.

- Use the above method by Dr Ketan to root

- Buy Mobile Odin Pro and use again http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 to find the LC1 version that tickles your fancy

- Buy Titanium Backup Pro, backup all your apps and data, you won't regret it

You'll get some scares - for examples chances are that your keyboard will type "nullnull" when you type any letter when first rooted, don't worry when you upgrade to LC1 with Mobile Odin you'll get your keyboard back.

Etc. Follow Dr Ketan's guides and you should be fine.

It'll be a fun Easter weekend... :)

Hey guys I have a question that I'm not really sure there is an answer to. But I've bought my SGS2 from a third party. Does anyone know of a way that tmobile will honor the warranty?? The hardware keys are broken and I want to get a replacement device but they always bicker that I got the phone third party and I really don't understand why that matters at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FRuiTBoOT:
I'm thinking they will just refer you to Samsung. Although they are fairly quick at getting you a replacement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Racing19969:
Go direct through Samsung instead. And the reason they are picky is the manufacturer requires the information for warranty.

Taken from samsung site : What must you do to obtain warranty service?

To obtain service under this Limited Warranty, you must return the Product to an authorized phone service facility in an adequate container for shipping, accompanied by the sales receipt or comparable proof of sale showing the original date of purchase, the serial number of the Product and the seller's name and address. To obtain assistance on where to deliver the Product, please call SAMSUNG Customer Care at 1-888-987-4357. If SAMSUNG determines that any Product is not covered by this Limited Warranty, you must pay all parts, shipping, and labor charges for the repair or return of such Product.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tynen:
yeah, I don't have a recipt
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
They will honor it, I have done it multiple times. As long as you don't say it was bought 3rd party, they don't ask.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tynen:
Are you talking about Tmobile or samsung? Because I returned my vibrant that was purchased from a third party and I ended up having to pay full retail for the replacement because they "never got the device"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AJ26T:
Where did you buy it from? And do u have insurance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] glory22:
Your best bet to exchange with t-mobile is through customer care. Tell them you changed your number because thar causes it to shows wrong warranty info that way. Tech is smarter and they'll make sure what number used the inside first.

Theoretically if your similar was the first active similar t-mobile can replace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
I just did this myself... Got my phone brand new in sealed box off Ebay. Just did a warranty exchange with T-mobile (and I got lucky because they were out of stock and sent me a BRAND NEW IN BOX March 20, 2012 phone!!!).

So yea, go through T-mobile. Don't ask for a warranty exchange, call and go through tech support and tell them your phone's buttons are not working properly. Do the steps with them and then they willl eventually get to the part in the script about the warranty exchange.

They didn't ask me any questions at all about where I bought my phone. I was worried also but I ended up finding a lot of people that did this successfully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
This, except his wordchoices are questionable lol. Warranty doesn't seem to transfer from one number to another unless it's within the same family line. However that is usually not the case. There are times when it does transfer over. Not sure why... Stupid system.

The reps can only see if your warranty is valid, if not they need permission from a supervisor to bypass any authorization. So be nice to your rep and they'll help you out. You can tell them i just bought it so and do date, i even have the box but can't find my receipt should i send you the picture of the box? reps usually just say no you don't have to and see what they can do. Ymmv
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Sealed off ebay is fine. As long as your number is the first phone to activate it, warranty should be valid for a year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saxysaxplayer:
I just sent my phone to Samsung earlier today. I brought my phone off ebay and the screen stopped working (the phone turns works, but the screen wasn't working at all, and it showed a greenish color instead of what's suppose to be on the screen). I talked to their online CS Reps and after we couldn't fix it she filed the service claim for me AND they paid for 2nd day air (which they don't usually do). So, just go with Samsung support if you have doubts.

Ironically, my phone broke the morning after the Skyrockets ICS was leaked, and I didn't even get to flash it after the Devs here ported it =(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I have gotten multiple warranty replacements from tmobile for phones I purchased used.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mike5411:
Is there any service charge with Samsung for warranty work?

Also, would I be correct assuming I would have to ship my phone out first and wait for a replacement with Samsung?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Yeah you have to ship your phone and wait for it to come back.

That is the advantage of going through T-mobile....you get your new phone first before sending in your old one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mike5411:
Thank you for your reply.

One last question for the people going through Samsung.

Are you actually telling them the issue is the screen or are you making up some nominal problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saxysaxplayer:
I told them the truth, because something really did happen to my screen.. If it has something to do with bricking your phone from flashing, just say an OTA or Kies update happened and your phone didn't come on... otherwise just tell the truth, unless it voids your warrenty.
