I think if you have your receipt from an att purchase that some best buy sore locations will allow you to get black tie insurance on the phone. The phone has to be I'm perfect condition when you bring it to them, and you might have to talk to the manager of the mobile department, as they have the ability to make exceptions. I got my phone for 500 no contract because I know the manager at the location near me :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
Best Buy only offers their protection on iphone sold elsewhere with receipt within 30 days. No other devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] moehagene:
I recommend for those that want to buy an unlocked one x to get it from best buy, purchase the protection plan (10 dollars a month and can cancel at any time with no fee) and if you hard brick your device just smash it and go get a new one with no deductible
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
Best Buy does not sell the One X unlocked. So you will not be able to get the Best Buy plan. They only cover the iphone when not purchased from Best buy and only within 30 days of purchase. Other phones must be purchased from Best buy to be covered.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
I went to Best Buy and asked if I could use their Insurance on a smartphone purchased elsewhere (specifically an HOX) and they said that all they had to do was "inspect" the phone and they would cover it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
That's false. Even if some shady manager was able to sell you it.. Your claim would be denied if you broke your phone... That's not Best Buy policy...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Could you provide a link stating the exclusion? It's not that I don't believe you, I just would like to have something in writing I can take down to the store and show them. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
I'm sure it's on best buy.com Somewhere. Also ask them for the policy in writing in store. If I heard a manager was doing this I would think they were unethically doing this to boost their sales attachments. Manage a scorecard type of thing. I'm very familiar with the policy if you know what I mean.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Go to Section A, the last bullet point:

http://www.geeksquad.com/uploadedFi...plans/GSBTP Ts and Cs 09.29.10 to current.pdf

It states:

If you are purchasing this plan on a product that was not originally purchased at Best Buy or its affiliates, then the product must have been purchased within the last 30 days and it must be covered under a current manufacturer’s warranty. You will be required to show proof of purchase of your product to be considered

for coverage, solely at our discretion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] moehagene:
I ment to type unlock it after buying from best buy because u can brick it and return. Not buy an unocked one
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Slybone:
What company are you with out of curiosity? I have the HP discount on my account and I don't think it provides the same benefits...

I pay 7 bucks a month for insurance through AT&T because I want lost/stolen coverage. I've used them before and they're great!

[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
So I've been trying to find out how to get into diag mode to make my speakers louder, and ##DIAG# or the ADB version just doesn't work for me. So I decided to try this....

*#*#DIAG#*#*

......which brings me to a HTC Function Test menu, see below:

Thought I'd share
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
the Diag menu has been known about for a bit...previous version of it was 1.00g on the CDMA ones and i think 2.02g on the GSM phones officially...

just shows a few more more options on this one really....nothing special really though
[HTC One X] AXIS of Reality:
Hi guys,

I've been waiting for the SGSIII announcement before deciding on a new phone, and am currently torn between them. I've been reading a lot of the threads here, but naturally for some of the potential issue people are more likely to post if they've actually experienced it so it's hard to tell how significant it is.

BACKGROUND: I first had an HTC Hero and LOVED sense. Then I moved to an original Galaxy S because I love AMOLED screens (I don't care about colour accuracy, I love extreme saturation and contrast). I then moved to the SGS II last year.

However, I have always hated Touchwiz and themed and rommed the heck out of it to look more like stock ICS. I've always looked back at Sense with envy though.

So the following questions are the major things holding my back from a One X:

1) Is heat an issue? My SGS II would get hot on the front with web browsing on max brightness after a while and playing games, and I have the new iPad that gets very toasty, but I wouldn't want anything that can actually be concerning or affect my usage (eg: the need to stop playing games for a while or adjust screen brightness). Also does it warm up when doing non-game tasks like web browsing or general non-game apps?

2) I always use my phone on max brightness, how much screen-on time could I expect on a single charge? Is anyone coming from an SGS II able to comment on if the battery life feels longer or shorter than the SGSII?

3) I've heard a few people complaining of it and experienced it on an in-store demo One X, so how often does Sense like to spend a few seconds reloading after exiting an app? Is it frequent or a rarity?

4) While I'm aware that some One X have creaking / shifting glass at the top edge (an in-store demo model I tried had it), has anyone had it develop over time or should you be able to know out of the box if you have a dud?

5) Does the white model pick up marks / discolouration from sitting in pockets without a case?

Thanks in advance for your help guys. :D
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
1)no

2) not long

3)barely ever

4)duno not had it yet

5)picks up marks but can be easily removed
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
1. Heat isn't an issue unless you live in a particularly hot place. Think 36+ celcius room temp.

2. Max brightness on the HOX can really blind you. It's stupidly bright and even at 30% brightness is very very visible. I just leave the auto brightness on, it's been working very well :) I get an average of 3.5 hours screen time with 3g always on, and playing graphically intensive games.

3. Sense only reloads if the app you're using uses more than the system has free. So it clears Sense from RAM since it's not being used right that moment for the app you ARE using at that moment. Some ROMS have an option to keep it in RAM, which eliminates the restarts.

4. I received a good copy, and have no experience with any physical defects other than a slight yellow tint at the bottom, hardly noticeable unless you're looking for it.

5. Scuff marks would probably be hidden better on the white one, but regular wear and tear dirt would probably make the white a ....brown xD
[HTC One X] JamesBarnes:
Heat has been a huge issue for me.

I have 2 HOXs, both UK T-Mob. Both get terribly hot.

Playing games whilst charging causes it to overheat (battery temps in excess of 55*c, uncomfortably hot to the touch).

I also use it as a wifi hotspot (again whilst charging) and it stays quite warm.

The other day I was on the phone, using it as a hotspot and charging it simultaneously it got VERY hot, to the point I couldn't comfortably hold it to my face. I happened to be topless at the time and absent misguidedly placed it on my stomach, camera side down. That physically hurt, the camera ring was painfully hot.

(To preempt any "well don't do that then" comments, none of my usage is at all unusual. My old handset (Desire HD) could manage that fine. The overheating is poor design)

These temperatures are unacceptable in my opinion, but there's not a lot to be done about it I'm afraid! At the end of the day, I still think the HOX is the best handset on the market currently, I'm not a fan of the galaxy (aesthetics + AMOLED is grainy).

The phone doesn't seem to have suffered any actual damage from the extreme heat by the way.

My honest advice is to wait. Every handset that I have purchased on launch day (Xperia x10, DHD, HOX) has had MASSIVE teething troubles amongst its user base.

The HOX will probably improve, buy one in a few months, or go for one of the other phones that may be out by then!

Above all, buy from a reputable retailer with a great customer service record (Amazon would be a good choice IMO).

Hello guys newbie her hope u wonderful people can help me. Sorry i have spend lots of time reading posts. But still cannot work it out. Forgive me

My problem is i have rooted and unlocked my wife's sgs2 which was locked to 3 uk is not recognising my orange uk micro sim, the reason to doing so is we like to swap our phones.

i am running icecream sandwitch 4.0.3

base band ver. I9100NELP3

Kernel ver 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913dpi@DELL134#3

Bulild no IML74K.XWLP7

Please please any suggestions to get the phone working on orange is really i mean it really appreciated.

Also if u guys need to any more information kindly shout,

Do i need to flash a different rom to get the phone working on different sim? if so do i need a rom with XWLP7 kernel?

Thx a lot in advance and waiting to hear from u brilliant peoples from this site.

Thx

Tony
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Just because it shows the 3 welcome screen doesn't mean it's not unlocked, just branded. If you continue past the welcome screen, are you sure your Orange SIM doesn't work? If so, what method did you use to SIM-unlock it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbull_009:
Thx a lot for the reply.

Initially i have used Chainfrie's Galaxy S2 sim unlock. but didn't work. Then i have used Helroze's Galaxy_S unlock. After that i pressd *#7465625# it says

Network lock OFF

Network Subset lock OFF

SP Lock OFF

By this way i believe its unlocked. But dont know its really unlocked.

Cheers

Tony
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Branded means network branding and add on .

Your is 3 branded

Locked means locked to a network unlocked and it will work on any network .

Not recognize sim first question has to be does it reconize any other sim .Second question have you entered the network settings for orange ???

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbull_009:

Mr jje,

thx a lot for your kind reply.Thx.

Secondly even if a phone unlocked do i need to add orange network setting? Sorry i didn't know that. Again could u please guide me how can set this up? Please any help will be really appreciated

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
By the info youve given already your phone should be unlocked. Will it not make or receive calls or is it just the web that aint working? Does the sim card work in another phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbull_009:
Thx for the reply.

no i cannot make any calls with orange sim on sgs2. But this sim works absolutely fine with my iphone.

Kindly let me know anything else u like me to look for.

Sorry to jump on this thred but noticed the OP had the same kernel, build and baseband numbers as my newly bought S2.

Ive been looking about for the right files to download to root mine but have been puzzled by the right ones to get.

Which are the corect kernel and firmware files I need?

Currently on Three network also looking to unlock and debrand.

Hope you can help

Cheers Lee
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Only two possible answers left .

One you have not entered your networks settings or they are wrong .

If you have then phone is not unlocked .

Simple test .

Phone works with original sim = software OK .

Other sim works in another phone = sim ok

Phone works on another network sim after network setting have been entered if not then its not unlocked phone .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Go to any of the supermarkets and buy a PAYG sim from another network,{around £1.00}, youi don't have to register the sim to see if your phone is unlocked.

{EDIT} I see you said your coming from a iphone.... So that means its a cut down sim {micro-sim} card.

Parhaps it is not seated in the correct position.

Just a thought..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piam:
My phone is doing the exact same thing, can anybody help?

Originally on three UK. Got unlocked in a shop. Orange sim card worked fine. Restored to factory defaults to erase phone. Orange sim card no longer works, but phone is showing as unlocked. Every other network sim card works fine.

Its bugging me, took it back to the shop where i got it unlocked and the man said he had never seen anything like it.

Any help would be great. Thanks

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
whaaaaa? windows 8 on the a100 or being able to use mtp/mass storage with windows 8? if its the first i want to say HA good luck with that be easier to compile ubuntu 12 arm compared to any windows os. If its the second well i have no clue.

Personally if i was gonna put windows 8 on a acer tablet i'd done it with the w500 which runs windows7 natively an has a keyboard dock (that will never mount right to a a100/a500 because its a normal usb port on the bottom of the w500 >.>)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FloatingFatMan:
No, not possible. No one will be installing W8 on their Android tablets; guaranteed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
If you are speaking the Acer A100 tablet ONLY I would say yep you are correct. However you are saying "No one will be installing W8 on their Android tablets" which is false. Yes you will be able to have an ARM device with Windows 8 and Android in a dual boot. Windows 8 is being writen for both x86 and ARM and manufacturers like Asus have already talked about releasing a dual boot.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FloatingFatMan:
Microsoft just aren't going to allow that... They have VERY strict requirements for the ARM version of Windows 8, one of which is a tightly locked and sealed bootloader and NO dual booting capability.

Plus, no existing tablets on the market meet the spec requirements for resolution or available RAM.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Thanks, and my previous point still stands true. You are too vague most of the time in your responses and it leads to miss informed people. It also causes you to give responses that may have some validity, but are wrong because you don't properly address what you wish to point out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
I agree with you there is actually news about ARM based tablets having to have a secured boot loader by the manufacture no if ans or butts if its a intel/amd based machine the secure boot is optional.

Hope nobody minds but here is a link on some info on that http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2012/01/16/microsoft-blocks-linux-arm-hardware/1
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Ruben13:
Hi,

Still no solution to install W8 on A100?

Tnks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I wont say it'll never happen, I'll say its extremely unlikely, for a few reasons i can see.

Devs needed to work on getting w8 working on a tegra2 anything, let alone an a100

W8 itself being modified to run on the a100 specifically, there is next to no dev support for this device for android let alone another os.

Did I mention devs needed to do this stuff?

IMO i wouldn't wait on this, its extremely unrealistic to expect. But I could be wrong, it happens quite often.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] plznote:
The Surface is held back even by Tegra 3, so I don't think its possible. And this tablet just doesn't have enough dev support.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Nicely done. Lots of good data in there.
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
Thanks, let me know if you think of something to improve :)

Charging up to 100% for a battery benchmark of CM9 now.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Nicely done. Changing battery benchmarks from seconds to hours would be nice. :)
[Galaxy S II General] naguz:
The 0-100% is not a very good way to rate the results. It makes the end result pretty useless to be frank, as the differences in many of the results are rather small, and it says very little. A 0% can be a split hair behind an 80% score in many of the tests.

As a suggestion, I would have given the average of each test a zero or "normal" value, and given the results for each ROM as a minus or plus percentage of the diffference from the average. At least that way your end reult (avreage across all tests) will have more meaning.

edit: But thank you very much for running the tests! Your results are certainly interesiting to compare even if I donæt think the pecentage presentation is the best. Great work!
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
Its not a perfect system, and perhaps your idea would paint another picture. I dont think it is as bad as you make it out to say though.

The system works well for most of the tests where there is an even distribution of the data. It does not work well for Random Write with .02 MB/s differantiating from best to worst. This is why I chose to introduce the "weighted" score with this one taken out.

I'll test your idea and see how it goes :)

EDIT: idea tested. It is quite different, and i think it is a better scoring-method. I've added it to the bottom for everyones confusion. Heres what it does:

((Test result)-(average result))/average result)

Basically giving a perfect average score a value of 0, being twice as good as the average would give 1 whole. This makes the tests count equally as just "test result-average result" would greatly favor benchmarks with high absolute numbers.

With this method best ROM is Sensation, followed by CM9 (before battery test, so could go either way here), and then Oxygen at third place.
[Galaxy S II General] Andrewawright:
For comparison, what do you think of benchmarking a stock ROM of some sort? A latest release of some sort, for example.
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
It's coming up there :) Guess i've done it by tomorrow/monday, will do Lightning and maybe Criskelo first.
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
Spreadsheet updated with benchmarks from CriskeloServan v9.

Have some problems flashing with Odin now, computer wont recognise the unit. It used to work, reinstalling drivers did not fix it, and it works with another Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II General] julle131:
Hope you get it to work. Maybe im going to flash a rom based in info on this.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Interesting that the AOSP ROMs do worst than Sammy ROMs, battery life wise :/

Not enough to make me go back to Sammy though :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
It seems... my battery has died :(

When i put the charger in all i get is a picture of a flat battery and a big fat yellow exclamation mark.

It boots with another battery, and i've been able to flash stock LP8.. But doing battery tests on a different battery is pretty useless. Will order a new one and see what i'll do, might just do the other benchmarks, not sure the battery benchmark is very reliable anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] julle131:
I hope you get it soon. But remeber, rather battery than motherboard :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovimunt:
Does anyone know what is the syntax of set_perm and set_perm_recursive?

Also, does anyone know how to calculate ownership and permission numbers? Like for example ins the following line

What do the 0, 2000 and 06755 numbers stand for? I do know that 06755 is the permission but why is it 06755 and not 755? Anyone any clues?
