[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NJMoreno22:
Asurions rule ia hat there has to be usage on the device your looking to get replaced within he past 60 daya. so if you swapped to an old phone over two months ago, Asurion wont replace it for the $100 deductible unless you put the phone back on. Try going to a cell phone repair store firat though. 3RD party non corporate stores have leeway if they have the parts. theres also some spots that just repair phones for a fee, regardless of insurance or carrier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
I went to a place called "CPR" Its cell phone repair... the guy told me around 300 w parts and labor.... He told me that parts for these phones are expensive. This was before it was bricked. He said the glass replacement and the digitizer and labor will cost that much... Guy is crazy! I think that's the only place decently close that I know of. But now the phone WILL have to be replaced now that its a paperweight...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
He's quoting you mostly labor then because the digitizer assembly is less than $100 online and it's easy as pie to replace.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
confused you trying to fix your glass or get a new phone. If you are trying to obtain a new phone then I suggest you go on Sprints website lookup repair centers in your area and take your phone there first. Give them whatever story you like and see what happens. Then and only then if you can not get them to replace your phone you can go through Asurion or try taking it to a Sprint store and play dumb....

Choices:

Sprint Store: $35 or free replacement

Sprint Authorized repair: Refurb phone in a day or two as long as you have insurance

Asurion: $100

The choice is Yours-----
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
Originally I wanted to get it fixed.. Its bricked now.. I mainly needed to see if anybody knew if there was a time restriction for a claim. I started one a while back but never completed it. I kept using the phone but I bricked it a couple days ago. Now that I have a backup phone to use I was wanting to get it fixed.. I will look at the rapair centers though. Thanks for the info!

I use dsixda-Android-Kitchen to cook my first rom,strange thing happen.

After all done and flashed to my phone.On the homescreen,there is no text under the icons,I used the rom.zip extracted from the original Ruu,

Then I flash my phone using the Ruu directly,there is no problem with missing icon text,so I do a backup with 4ext recovery and use the system.tar as a base to cook a new one.After flashing this new rom,reboot,every icon on the homescreen has icon text.

So my question is ,how can I use the rom.zip as a base and have text under every icon on the homescreen?

Have rooted my sons Hero to enable him to install more apps, but can not move any apps to SD card??

On my phone (DHD) I use Titanium, installed it on the Hero but do not see the move option?

Had a look at a couple off apps, move2sd etc but all are incompatible with phone?

Without going down the command line route is their a way to do this?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] aleksandar.1:
you need to have an sd-ext partition...

the rom u flashed, has implemented aps2sd...

You can partition the sd with rom-manager, or manually through card reader
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nigsy116:
Installed rom manager - partitioned the sd card. Titanium backup now has the Move to SD card option, but gave me a message like 'No data2SD card directory detected'

Tried rebooting, but lost all the apps that I'd wanted to move. Have now reinstalled a clean ROM and going to start again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] aleksandar.1:
You don't have to move the apps with titanium backup... :D

Look at the rom's info..

Kernel supports ext 2-3-4 , etc...

Look at this too : SD card partitioning
[Hero, G2 Touch General] approx459below:
i always do it myself. just partitioning the sdcard with an ext4 (or ext3 while the kernel didn't support ext4) then dropping into a root shell and installing a little script under /etc/init.d/ saying something like "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and then moving the apps into the /sd-ext and symlinking them into /data/app OR just symlinking the whole folder /data/app to /sd-ext.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] moncho12:
hi guys,

I've been reading a lot these days, before my x10 mini arrives and I noticed threads are kind of outdated for new (newb) owners like.

Anyway I have my share of experience modding phones so I believe I've collected all necessary tools to achieve a clean cm7 install-

Thing is, supposedly the new phone will be an unlocked 1.6, so I'm wondering if this implies an unlocked bootleader or should I do it anyway-

Should I still try a S1TOOL run? (only after SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE I know)

Should I upgrade from 16. to 2.1 trough SEUS?

Should I flashtool the 11 naa kernel then?

I guess my question would be if it's actually a direct way to reflash cm7-

Anyway thanks a lot in advance, it's a great forum and I have a lot to learn

regards,

moncho
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
s1 tool - to make sure you can unlock your boot loader safely

upgrade to 2.1 - required

flastool - no yet.

things to do.

1. update to 2.1

2. make sure the base band is compatible

3. root phone - via super one click (highly suggested)

4. make sure phone can be safely unlocked via s1 tool

5. unlock boot loader

6. flash custom kernel

7. flash custom rom

your phone is actually sim unlocked and does not neccessarily means that the boot loader is unlocked.

btw welcome to xda

How to Root Samsung Galaxy S 2 i9100

With the launch of Samsung Galaxy S II which is also known as Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100, the firmware updates have started pouring in and the same we have covered it. If you just missed the last firmware update for Samsung Galaxy S2 then we saw on how to update Galaxy S2 with the latest firmware XWKDD. Now, taking the Android experience to a whole new level, you will have to root your phone so as to open up Galaxy S 2 for new possibilities. Do, note that though rooting the device will void the warranty but un rooting the device will bring back the warranty. Also, we will be covering two different procedures under which you will be rooting the Galaxy S2 but it’s recommended to follow each and every single instruction carefully and if not followed the instructions carefully you may even brick your phone after that you can only use the same as an expensive paper weight.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
I just bought a Samsung Captivate Glide from Ebay. :D Took my AT&T SIM card out of my Rhodium and put it into the SCG, but the data isn't working (just able to make calls).

My Rhodium's SIM is blue and has '3G' printed on it. As the SCG is a 4G device, can it simply be that my SIM needs to be upgraded to a 4G card (is there a difference)? Or can I assume that there is something either wrong with my data connection settings or with the phone itself? Results of my searches keep bringing up a mixed bag of device reviews, how to buy the device or a SIM, etc., so I'm hoping that someone here has some knowledge of this.

Most of the ROMs that I've used for my Rhodium have used carrier provisioning cabs in their ROMs, so I do not know what those settings are to check to see if they are correct in the SCG. I was told that the SCG is NOT unlocked, but that doesn't mean that my settings couldn't use a little tweaking. ;)

Also, in case it matters, I am using the old unlimited $15 'dumb' phone internet for my Rhodium. Could this really be the culprit? :eek: Will I have to change my Internet service to the much more expensive 'smart' phone plans in order to use data on my SCG? :(

If I come across my answer in further searching, I'll update this post to benefit others.

Thanks, everyone!

[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
You'll need to either call AT&T support or visit a store. They will need to make some modifications to your account in order for your 3G SIM card to work with AT&T's HSPA+ "4G" frequency. I had the same issue when I got my SCG. I was using an HTC Status, and when I switched the SIM card into the new phone, I was able to only make and receive phone calls. I went to the store and explained the situation, and the guy fixed it for me in 2 minutes.

I originally thought when I first read your post that you were on the unlimited data plan ($30/month), but I see you're on the $15 "dumb" plan. As a result, you'll most likely need to update your data plan to one of their offerings in order to get 4G network connectivity.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
as far as the sim card i have no idea but if ur old phone wasnt a "smartphone" then yes u wil prolly have to upgrade to a high data package is why ur data is not working. they have that added internet crap becuz its a 4G even though half their customers dont have it
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Thanks for your responses. I suspected that it may be a SIM card version/set-up issue.

My current phone (HTC Tilt 2, aka Rhodium) is 3G, which runs Windows Mobile 6.X, but the "dumb phone" Internet plan works. It's been working beautifully for a few years now and I am not about to tip off AT&T to my 'smart phone usage' on a 'dumb phone plan' by complaining that I don't have Internet access on the SCG, so I guess that I'll be restarting my device research again (this sucks! :eek:) and seeking out a 3G Android GSM carrier unlocked phone with a keyboard (MUST!) as my next phone. Jeez, what a waste of time and money. :(

Well... I guess I got a used, mint condition Samsung Captivate Glide (with extra accessories) to put up for sale then. ;) I am *SO* not willing to double or triple my current cellular costs just to use a 'kind of' 4G phone here in NYC. I have a used LG Quantum (Windows Phone, which I don't think is 4G) that my SIM does work in, but I will probably need to get rid of that, too, if Microsoft doesn't bring USB syncing back in their major upcoming Apollo release (can't sync OTA from work). :mad:

ARGH... :mad: But your responses are indeed much appreciated. :)

Debbie
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
To be honest, I'm surprised that AT&T hasn't caught onto the fact that you're using a "dumb" plan with your existing smartphone. It's possible that your older WinMo device isn't registering with AT&T as being a smartphone that requires a data plan for whatever reason, or that you're using an incredibly low amount of data per month that they are simply not bothering to detect your usage.

I can almost guarantee you that, whether you decide to stay with the SCG or try to get another newer unlocked 3G GSM Android phone with keyboard (like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, for example), AT&T will eventually realize that you're using a smartphone and will upgrade you to one of their data plans. They are now using deep packet analysis to better gauge the use on their network. Modern Android phones, by their very nature, transmit and send much more data than older devices (e.g., background syncing, advertisements in apps, etc.), so it's unlikely that you'll be able to stay under AT&T's radar for much longer.

I've been on dumbphone 3g for 3 years using non att smartphones. As long as you don't get an ATT branded device, and it has a usable frequency you are golden
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
I'm actually looking at an unlocked HTC Desire Z right now. Always loved HTC's hardware quality and I'm not that fussed about utilizing 4g anyway, so this is an acceptable upgrade for me (by my standards anyway). As the SCG is 4G, which all of the new phones seem to be, I can't use my MediaNet SIM on it anyway, hence the SCG not working out for me, so it's a moot point really.

I mainly just use my Rhodium's data for email, Facebook, and some web surfing. I've never downloaded music, videos, games, tethered, or synced OTA, so I guess my usage hasn't been flagged in their system. Been on this data service since I got my Kaiser about 4 years ago. I don't expect it to last forever, of course, but would like it to for as long as possible.

Thanks for the input, everyone. As always here, no matter how much reading I do on my own, I always manage to learn something new by participating with all of you.

Ok, my post last week was a feeler to see if anyone would be interested in having such a thread. So lets try this for real! But I will need your help community!!

What this thread is to consolidate our experiences with ics roms related to our t989 , in no way is this a discussion board or Q&A this is purely info on what

is happening

whats working

whats not

what is worth flashing to

bugs

fixes/temp fixes

can it be used as a DD

battery life

I think this covers all the essentials, now I will make a new thread every week as to avoid congestion or if not continue posts and state w/c on post..

Now most would have or not flashed to the same rom now I don't need everyone to post about the same rom and give the same feedback unless if there is something that no one else has wrote (so read up everyone!). This thread is only a short term thing as ics is still new and fresh until consistent roms are made available we can keep tabs here on whats happening in the t989/ics world.

2 Main Bugs

Well we need a kernel source for the T989 period. And that Should fix the biggest issue ICS has on our phone which is the Backwards auto rotate which effects the screen display pictures and whatever else is mapped to the Gyroscope.

Second biggest issue that is reported, but I have not had would be the voice echo in phone calls,I have not had this but some say you can cancel the noise reduction setting and it fixs it but I can not confirm that.

This is reported repeatedly in every thread so maybe that can be highlighted so people stop reporting it. ;)

I hope this helps somebody

bty any AOSP or MIUI rom are not recommended for daily use. I am just saying this cause I seen somebody in Ravers AOSP thread just buy and T989 and wanted to use that rom as a dd and it is not.

Attention! I found out that the damn FASTBOOT option is causing a lot of problems esp related to camera and browser screen glitches.

My wife's one X is on fastboot and had a auto reboot and a few force closes and screen glitches started to appear, compared to mine with fastboot off from first day had non of the above mentioned issues.

Go to settings/Power then uncheck fastboot option and restart your phone.

pardon me if this has been mentioned.
[HTC One X] godutch:
That's not banding, banding us when gradients are not smooth. What you see are graphical glitches, these are usually graphics driver issues.
[HTC One X] DazzXP:
Is it a driver issue? If it is then won't all units be effected? Or some with ealier firmware? I am using 1.26.401 and do not have this problem.

I don't own a One X (yet) but maybe it's a setting or it depends on the codecs of the movie used. On my SGS2 there is a setting to force 2d hw acceleration under development options, try toggling it
[HTC One X] Ben86:
have this issue aswell. comming up sometimes in browser.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok i watched the video and i can see it's occurring in a specific scenario when the menu drops down

I can safely say it might very well be a kernel problem, most custom GB kernels on the Desire HD had a similar problem when an HD video is played in portrait, only the official kernel worked well but then we had to wait for HTC to give us the source

but why some have it and others don't? despite being on same firmware?

usually a device have different configurations internally, such as two/three different sources for the screen, camera or sensors, there might be a conflict with a specific combination and hence again a kernel problem

or a random Tegra3 related memory leak that needs plugging

third possibility might be a defect somewhere in the device or SOC, but after watching this video i think its unlikely

I'm pretty sure it's a graphics driver issue. I'm running 1.26.401.2

This is a widespread hardware problem not a driver issue. Some samples have it and others don't even though they are on the same software version.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea i already know this one, seems similar to the above, unless the nudging on the screen is physically causing it, can also be graphics acceleration drivers issue

like i said on the Desire HD whenever video acceleration get messed up it shows similar corruption and its all software related, we know T3 accelerates video by NEON in each core and also in the battery saver core, its definitively an NV mess

if nativestranger is correct then HTC have a disaster on their hands, still even hardware issues if figured out can be plugged by software like HTC disabled the 2d core in certain Sensation configurations

It's very sporadic. I just got the YouTube glitch too, when the video is in HD it glitches like crazy. These glitches also happens in the browser and the notification bar. But sometimes it.dosent look like in the video, it more like "noise" on the screen, but never lasts long enough to get it on camera... So people might.not be able to reproduce it.
