[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Hi guys,

I live in India and I wanted to get some information on getting a replacement for my RAZR. I have quite dissatisfied with the performance of this device. It has been giving me issues which are not ROM related(lag, reboots, random update failures). They simply persist despite my efforts of changing the ROM to remove them.

These issues mostly occur randomly so it's quite hard for me to actually prove to someone that I am experiencing them.

So I don't wanna go through all the Motorola Service Center BS for getting a replacement, as they will most likely tell me that I am using my phone wrong and slam the door in my face(pure speculation on my part, but then this does happen in India).

Can someone tell me an easy way to get a replacement through Motorola? Doesn't have to be pertaining to my issue. I can easily soft-brick my device(and restore it, if need be) and all, so if someone has any information, please do share.

Alternatively, if I do have to go to a service center, will they check a soft-bricked device for previous flashing attempts or will they simply declare it non-functional and replace it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Leave it at Motorola services and you'll feel good. If it's defecrtive you'll get a replacement. While your razr is at moto services, look for online chanels on the internet and ask for help. Look for motorola india in facebook and talk 2 moto there too.

I got nine replaced this way

Wish you luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Thanks for the input. Well in India it doesn't exactly work that way. As far as I know you have to go to a service center and prove to them that your device is faulty. After that they diagnose the device and if they find the problem irreparable they replace the product reluctantly. So just wanted to make sure that I'll get a replacement and not some service center BS saying I'm doing it wrong.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Can any Indian RAZR user comment on this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mujju85:
From my experience you will not get replacement until your cell is fully unresponsive first they will try to flash ur phone if it is not work than u r lucky u will get replacement i have 1 idea but its vry risky if u want competely brick ur device without dropping our putting into water you can try my method for this u will need a pc with fornt usb available open your pc just cross connect front usb cable thats it try ur pendrive first diffidently it will damage inside chip than u can try ur cell it will done the same this i have done this before to get the replacement for my MOTO DEFY. Hope this will help you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Well I'm definitely not gonna try a full hard brick. But still thanks for the input. I'll see what I can do. I'll try Delhi first during my vacations and then Hyderabad. If that doesn't work, then well I guess I'm pretty much stuck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 'AL':
A friend with a defy plus got his motherboard replaced within warranty after he bricked his phone trying to flash some roms. I'm not saying this would be the case with you as well but you would never know till you go to the service centre.

Maybe Off topic: I have an Indian XT910 and ever since i have updated to 2.3.6 i have problems receiving text messages. everything else works just fine. This is one of the most niggling issues. When i contacted the motorola call center they told me to go to an authorized service centre and get my phone downgraded to the previous version(2.3.4-not sure if there is any such version). This is an active discussion on the official motorola forum as well but the issue has not been solved.

Was wondering if any of you guys have had the same issue and were able to solve it?

(Please let me know if i need to start a new thread for this)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rohanblade:
dude i can understand ur eagerness, i got a replacement for my razr, but as i purchased it through flipkart.com i was given a brand new handset from flipkart.com. i dont how motorola service center deals:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Oh yeah, my grandparents bought it for me when they were in Delhi, so the Flipkart option is not gonna work for me. Any ways thanks for the input.

The only problem with the RAZR is that first they'll try flashing back the original firmware which won't repair my issue, but will make them feel that it works just fine. That's why I was wondering if there was another way. I can't hard brick the phone so no matter what I do, a fastboot flash will restore it back to working condition anyways.

I was thinking about doing this, use Bootstrap to format data, cache, system and emmc partitions and go to the store complaining that the phone fails to boot after an update which I get. They will most likely try doing a data wipe from the built in recovery which will fail due to absence of an actual android system partition. Also all traces of Bootstrap will be removed because of the system partition not containing any data anymore. After this I'll basically tell them that this happens every time I try to update the phone. So maybe they might look past the fact that it's a simple software issue. I dunno if it'll work though.

Also one more thing, do the store guys give a damn about the user's wants, like for example if the user wants a new phone instead of a motherboard replacement, do they actually consider that? Because I'm gonna be in Delhi for a few days only so won't really have the time to get a motherboard replacement done because that'll take more than just a few days(and I really want an entirely new RAZR, I feel cheated with my current one)

And lastly, no I haven't had any of the issues you've mentioned. My 2.3.6 runs fine in that aspect. Just the random lag, and reboots which are killing me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Send me a PM
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
PM'ed!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 'AL':
so i'm guessing this is a hardware issue?

but a lot of people seem to be having this issue... and i did not have this issue when i was on 2.3.5... you are on stock right? and any other Indian razr owners having this issue?

and btw you should call the motorola customer care at 180030004343 and get whatever information you need(at least you'll get an idea if you will be getting a replacement)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Already did. After I described the issue he told me to do a factory reset from the Motorola Recovery(which I've tried multiple times before. DOES NOT WORK). I told that it doesn't work. Then he said that he cannot help me further on the phone and I would have to go to a Motorola Service Center to get my phone checked for issues. He said nothing about a replacement. I have emailed Motorola customer care about the same. They haven't replied yet. WTF is wrong with Motorola Customer care!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rubenswing:
I wonder how you got your handset replaced through flipkart.com...I contacted them but they told me they can't help me and that I need to go to a moto service center using the list of service center's as a reference, which they had sent me along with the phone... be kind enough to share how did you get it replaced through flipkart
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
I think he was referring to Flipkart's 30 day replacement guarantee when he said that he got a replacement from Flipkart.

I am trying to make a custom boot w/sound but last time I tried getting sound to work I bricked my phone. Any help would be appreciated. I also am considering trying to figure out how to do a SOA theme for SCOM.

BTW somebody created the same boot animation on another phone but with no sound. So I have that already.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ShadyAce80:
I found somebody who created the same animation that I wanted to do so I have reposted the bootanimation.zip and have converted the theme to wav format (don't know if I needed to do that or not) and replaced the PowerOn.wav from the ect folder. The rom I am using already had boot sound. So I was able to just replace the files. What I want to know is the bootsnd.sh file listed in the tutorial the same file needed for our phone? Also it listed a different directory for pushing the sound file. Is this something that is different per phone or ROM or just a preference?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I have a feeling I know what bootsnd.sh file your talking about. No you dont need that for the current roms for the phone. That script is for phones running roms like CM7 that dont have bootsound turned on.

Put the poweron.wav in the same directory as the factory one is now. In converting the file to wav did you just rename it or actually convert it using a program on your pc? Just renaming it will not always work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ShadyAce80:
I have a conversion program on my system. I have the animation and the audio file posted in themes right now. Planning on tweaking it a bit and making it my own creation once I have more of an idea of where I want to take it. And will be attempting to make it flashable in a week or two I hope.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
Hi, I need a stock odin ICS ROM (preferably 4.0.4) for my GS2 so that I can unbrick it. I was using Illusion_ICS_v1.0.1_-_ST@-i9100-XXLPB-4.0.3 and when I installed Resurrection-remix_ics_V1.7_AOKP-Build34_4.0.4 over it all I got was the boot logo and then a black screen. When I start on recovery mode it will only allow me to install from an external source.

thanks in advance

[HTC Rezound] Rocs Macho:
Do the settings need to be set up a specific way to get my gmail mail to notify me upon arrival of new msg? Once I set up acct it will load my inbox based upon the settings I chose, but after that, I don't receive any mail thru that app. Even if I refresh, I don't have my new mail. Thru Gmail app, I always receive notifications. I use 3 different email accts & like having access to them from 1 app.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I think you need to go into the Mail app settings and and set your receive settings. Make sure the the app is set to "push" emails..meaning you will be notified as they are received.
[HTC Rezound] Rocs Macho:
They are. I receive my yahoo & exchange emails, just not Gmail

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Valmoghe:
Hi everybody,

I have a serious problem with my Ideos x5 (U8800). I tried to upgrade to the Aurora ICS ROM and bricked my phone. Some quick info:

- I have the Gingerbread update on my PC (dload/UPDATE.APP)

- I can't boot into recovery mode

- I can't access my sdcard

- I can boot into pink-screen mode

- Phone keeps rebooting itself when I try recovery mode

- Tried replacing boot.img and recovery.img with original files

- Before it started to reboot itself I tried recovery in CWM

I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no idea what to do with it.

[EDIT] Ok, so I tried rebooting the phone with adb but it fails to recognize my device when I use "adb devices".

If anyone can help me get SOME kind of ROM installed, I would love you forever. I might even throw in some cash. I can't afford a new phone :(

Sincerely,
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
You need some micro sd reader/writer.

1. Format sdcard

2. Put dload folder witch contains GB update to root of sdcard

3. Take battery out

4. Plug usb in

5. Boot and press both volume keys while booting phone.

6. Update should start
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Valmoghe:
Thanks for the answer. :)

I was thinking something like that myself.. I'll get a sd-reader tomorrow and get back here if it worked out or not.

[EDIT] Yep, as I suspected. It worked really good. A big thank you, fine sir!

Mods could delete thread or keep it for future reference for others.

Hi

I know this has been asked before but there is no reply to it anywhere.

Is there any way to force an app to stay in memory in ICS? Many apps seem to shut down when u navigate away from there sometimes even for 5 seconds to quickly check say facebook/twitter/sms/whatsapp.

I did not have that problem with Gingerbread...?

Any ideas guys how to force the app to stay open in the background no matter what?

Many thanks

First of all, take note that I ported this ROM myself with the help of proxuser’s guide, and therefore I included whatever I wanted in it as I did not intend to release it at first :p Because of this, Beats audio (by RockoDev) is included by default. I am crediting him now for his mod. This is based on IceColdSandwich by kajura and RD-MIUI by dekkyy. Any problems existing in IceColdSandwich will still exist here. :cool:

Features working

● GPS

● Flashlight

● Bluetooth

● HW Acceleration

● Mobile Data & Phone & Microphone

● High/Low Quality YouTube / Netflix / Hulu video

● Front Camera preview (may be inverted though)

● Back Camera Preview & Flash

● Beats audio by Rockodev (thanks! :D)

● Almost everything else… ;)

Bugs, known issues, not working

x Directional compass not showing on maps

x Camcorder not working

x No FM radio officially supported (It will work if you use Spirit FM radio app)

x Backlights of capacitive soft keys and rotating keys

x You tell me… :)

DOWNLOADS

Version 0.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8f05hgmoudy2u5a/vivo-MIUI-v02-signed.zip REUPLOADED! :D should work now.

md5sum: C9B774A7B5B53653CB6C8F44FF59ADB8

you might notice that the updater script still says Ice Cold Sandwich; that's because i haven't changed it yet lol. by the way, the beats does not appear in your status bar; it just enhances the sound (i think :p)

I may not update this often since I'm busy with exams and school :( I'm also new to porting, so if there are any developers willing to help me optimize/fix the bugs (like the backlights) in the ROM... ;) Please click the 'thanks' button if you liked it!

EDIT: Oh, I realized there was an error. Let me re-upload my file again. Sorry ):
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
When you say the capacitive buttons aren't working, do you just mean the backlight or do the buttons themselves not function? I can make the fix if you are building from source, but I would assume not from your use of the word port?
[HTC Incredible S] yongwen1:
Just the back light. When autobrightness is on the backlights turn off. If autobrightness is off then the lights are on for a while before turning off :( and i'm reuploading the file now... and yes, i did not build from source... is there any way to fix it without doing so?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Can I ask why you used the DHD as a base instead of the Inc 2? The Inc 2 is almost identical to our device (bar the CDMA radio)
[HTC Incredible S] yongwen1:
Well... honestly, i didn't think of it. Shall I try porting it from miui.us of the Incredible 2 to see if the backlight works...
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah that would be awesome :)
[HTC Incredible S] yongwen1:
Haha, shall do it tomorrow then. It's close to midnight here, so I'll probably go off now. I may upload it tomorrow night if I have the time to port lol.
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I would give it a go, can't hurt. To be honest you should just be able to pair up the vivow ROM with a vivo kernel and change some telephony files et voila it should work, but I have a nagging feeling there is something in surfaceflinger that is different. Try porting it using proxuser's guide first off, see how that pans out. I'm not actually rooted myself as I have only just got my device back from warranty repair, but I will be happy to pitch in with whatever I can.

I will have to dig out my XTC clip and get back into the swing of things soon, I am getting the itch for flashing!
[HTC Incredible S] yongwen1:
Haha, I could try that method :D actually proxuser's guide isn't 100% for all phones, so I have to troubleshoot it quite a bit and add permissions and stuff. That may take up time... Oh, on a side note, could you point me in a direction to build a ROM from scratch? I may try to build from scratch when I have the time, just for the fun of it :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] Leesalman:

[HTC Incredible S] st.matt:
You can't build Miui because it is closed source. Unless things have changed for Miui v4 they use a lot of Cyanogenmod code, so generally you can build libs for CM and they will work for Miui.

The backlights can be fixed by decompiling framework-res.apk and modifying one of the xml files (for Miui v2 it was overlay/framework/arrays.xml, and I think it is still the same but I don't know for sure) and adding the correct backlight values. You can get them from CM if you're not sure what to use.

Hi yongwen, if you are going to port with the Ins2 base, I suggest you to use the Playground ICS rom as base as it's more stable and functional.

To get the backlight buttons to light up, shouldn't you edit the screen dim level also known as light sensor levels. I'm not a developer or anything like that.
