[HTC One X] lawrence750:
obviously this one is kinda limited - but vodafone insurance have always been the best for me. had to claim twice before on my old sony ericsson, first time it got stolen, they sent me the replacement pretty much next day.

second time i was answering the phone, and as i brought it up to my ear, it slipped, went over my head and straight into a pan of gravy :eek:

still worked afterwards, except for the antenna was ruined and although it could get signal in places, it couldn't at all in weaker signal areas (places where it previously could get signal)

so i took it into a vodafone store, and they gave me a new one there and then. even let me keep the old one as it had all my stuff on it still.

one to keep away from, is natwest advantage gold phone insurance. they suck. altogether took about 3 weeks before i had another phone.

dropped my dhd, screen smashed. so they wanted to send it in for repair first. several days later they said it was BER, and a new handset would be issued.

so they sent a new handset, but instead of sending it to my address (which i had told them several times, and once even corrected them because they had the complete wrong address for me) they went and sent it to the local natwest branch.

so i called them up (at which point i didn't know it was at the natwest branch) and they said ok we'll send another.

In the meantime, i did some googling, and found out that this '5 high street' (previous address they somehow had for me) was actually the branch, so i went down there to get it. after some security questions etc, i got the phone.

Sorted I thought... Nope in fact it wasn't

a couple of days later, the phone had been reported stolen (by insurance company) and it was blacklisted, couldn't get any sims to work in it.

The next handset never actually arrived!!!!!!! They sent yet another one, which actually came to my address, and I had to send the old one back. (before they would send the new one out)

So basically, unless you're confident it won't go tits up like that, don't bother with a banks phone insurance. I promptly changed back to vodafone insurance after that incident. A bit more costly, but well worth it.
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Not sure about any Insurance companies apart from Vodafone's sucky p.o.s Insurance. It used to be really good but then they changed to a new company a few years bac. Heres my experience with them.

I used to have Vodafone Insurance and they changed to a new company, cant remember their name but they were useless and way more stricter than the last company. The deliveries would arrive late, they offered to replace my faulty HTC HD2 with a HTC Wildfire or some rubbish Wildfire. I said I wanted a Desire at the least, they wouldn't up it to anything else.

When the Desire arrived it was just a refurbished Wildfire in a generic Vodafone box. I complained and got an exchange and received a brand new Desire. I also made a complaint about the Insurance company, about how much they suck ****.

I then received a letter from Vodafone saying My Insurance has been cancelled and that if I take out any further Insurances, they will also be cancelled.

The only reason I'm still with Vodafone is that i have a friend who works for them and he always sorts out any problems I have, e.g. 24 month is getting too long for me and I want it shortened to 12 months, no problem. ;p
[HTC One X] matt_not_andrew:
I use the insurance with my Barclays account which costs me £7 per month. Also gives me RAC breakdown. Excess in phone claims is £25 and when I've used them in the past they had a couple of week turnaround. Worth it for me.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I'm currently using CUSC Foneguard, but i've never claimed, so I have no idea how happy I am to use them. £5 a month but that means nothing...and I see a clause in the T&Cs is no cover for "negligent use", which could mean any accident damage.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
If your in the UK check your bank account benefits a lot of accounts cine with free mobile insurance as standard,I use mine all the time only had to claim once but no issues
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Who is the insurance company your bank uses? I am with Lloyds TSB, and they use Lifestylegroup (LSG), who are another company that gets appauling reviews on the internet.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
to be honest, every insurance company has a bad review on the internet, as the people who were successful in their claim have the new handset and couldn't care less vs the people who were refused, went mental (rightfully) and went to the internet to complain about it.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
True, but i'd like to see some good reviews lol
[HTC One X] Rakaan:
I do bank with HSBC and they dont give any mobile phone insurance :( Gutted
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I'm with Lloyd's tsb and yes my claim was with them and while they would not win any awards and it took a month resolve (luckliy had another phone) thay paid up in the end after trying to palm me off with a branded locked handset
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Yeah that sounds crap tbh
[HTC One X] vickytom:
Mine's on my home contents insurance, with accidental damage, new replacement and cover away from home. The whole lot's under £15 quid a month, with the NFU, which includes contents. My student son is with Endsleigh, who charge about £7per month, to include laptop insurance too and are taking ages to sort out his drowned one x replacement whilst they ascertain whether the phone was submerged in a highball tumbler or not!

I wouldn't pay extra for separate cover; not when my policy is as good as it is and it covers everything and they don't quibble.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Protect your bubble: great insurance company, costs me 14 a month for my one x and transformers prime. Claimed last year on my lost desire hd, had a replacement in a week. Very professional and friendly company
[HTC One X] pherbert:
I bank with Barclays and use their mobile phone insurance.

As I am on the old Additions account, there is no fee :).
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Protect your bubble has good reviews online, surprisingly, although these are most if not all, based on registering, not claims.
[HTC One X] debully:
esure cover both my one x and my wifes sensation included in our building and contents insurance for £15/month (all in) - it's thrown in with most policies these days under items away from the home. Covered for accidental, loss and theft.

Only problem is £100 excess. But when you consider that an additional policy will be at LEAST £60/year over and above and will likely have it's own excess of at LEAST £30 it's a no brainer not to bother.

Hope this helps.
[HTC One X] lostunsunghero:
How does insurance with a bank work exactly? im 99% sure i have mobile goods insurance with my account which includes laptop, phone, sat nav etc and covers against accidental damage, theft and loss.

But as far as im aware ive never had to register any of these goods with the bank, so if i were more devious i could pay the £50 excess and get a brand new laptop or phone or whatever very cheap after claiming it to be lost even though i didnt own the product in the first place.

I wont, because im good at heart but i wonder how many false claims actually go through every day from criminal masterminds :D
[HTC One X] vickytom:
When I had Barclays additions with my bank account, I was required to register the devices with the insurance company, or I wasn't covered. When they upped it to £6.50, for no good reason, I checked with the home contents insurance policy. I have specified items with it now and its far better value.

Banks often charge up to £15 a Month and unless the customer benefits, it's just a good way to make more money.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
you 99% of the time have to register it with them, and its something like for the first 2 weeks after registering you can't claim
[HTC One X] Ripley:
And the bank itself doesn't insure the phone, it's an outside insurance company
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
I'm insured through my bank account, Lloyds TSB.

About a year ago I dropped my phone and smashed my beloved HTC Desire's screen. I sent it for repair, had to pay £30 excess and when it came back it had a second hand screen FULL of scratches. I said the repair was unacceptable and returned it, only to have then reinstall software and return it to me in same condition. I was hitting a brick wall, Fortunatly my wife works for Lloyds and sells these accounts, she got through to someone on my behalf and I got a new phone sent out.

The new phone was a reconditioned one with three branding, rather than replacing with a like for like unbranded and unlocked phone. I called lloyds to complain who said they was nothing they could do. I decided it was easier to root, s- off and install an unbranded rom instead of taking it further.

I got there in the end, but, would not recommend them. In future I will just throw a damaged phone away and say I lost it. I keep the insurance as my wife gets a good deal at the bank. As she sells the products she always fights for anyone having trouble with the insurance and takes pride in going the extra mile, if you hit a brick wall go to your bank and speak with a sales rep, they should be able to help.

[HTC One X] mobilemaduk:
How about squaretrade on Amazon? Looks like for £80 they will cover your phone up to £600 for 3 years and you can transfer to a different phone if you upgrade within that time. Think I may go for that as I've read some great reviews.

I installed v21e rom through kdz method,which means that i have stock rom and v21e baseband. Something is draining my battery very quickly. Plus i have ghost calls. My girlfriend tried to call me but i didn't have any missed calls. Guess im going back to froyo. :-\ So sad.... i just got used to have flash in 3d capturing..... :-\ plus the 3d game converter....
[LG Optimus 3D] paulharrison123:
In that case you have done something wrong - as those errors are not present on v21e
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
Does anyone have that v21G chinese s**t? Maybe i'll try that.... Please,anyone who uses that,can you confirm that it doesn't suffer from gc?
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
But what??? :-( I never installed Gingerbread before. This is my first time. I followed pandaballs tutorials to install v21e through kdz method,and everything was as it shoul'd be. Coul'd it be because i selected another country and language when installing gb? My phone is from Slovenia i think. I live in Serbia,but when i installed gb,i selected Italy,and english language.
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
Shouldn't be the issue. Try wiping data through stock recovery.
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
I'll try but i clearly doubt it will solve the gc issue. When i installed v21e i did a factory reset,then i rooted the device. Is it possible that rooting screwes up something?
[LG Optimus 3D] fsol:
I live in Bulgaria, also i make root with Megatron root!

Steel don't have GC with V21E!

Also my battery works more better with that V21E.

Do wipe partiton and other option wich you can make before root.

I thing only factory reset is not enough.

When you flash phonewith 21E version,before turn on your phone do all wipe option.
[LG Optimus 3D] dromico:
this scares me a lot, but for now no ghost call, sorry for my question, but you are sure about the version? 19-apr-2012? You download the rom from official lg site?
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
Yes,im 100% sure. Pandaball gave me a link from which to download. Its not a custom rom. Its the stock v21e. This is what shows in "About phone"

Model number: LG-P920

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7+

Build version: GRJ90

Software version: LGP920-v21e-apr-19-2012

This is what it should be,right?!
[LG Optimus 3D] fsol:
Yes.I put the same version.
[LG Optimus 3D] yourguitarist:
Are you using a custom kernel?
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
That's worrying. You are the first to report ghost calls with V21E. There were two more reports before yours but the first has flashed only the V21E baseband (not the complete rom) and the second was using a custom kernel instead of the stock 21E kernel.

However, I think that there is a possibility that the V21E was not installed correctly in your case because not only you have ghost calls but your battery drains very quickly. This could not have happened, especially when you came from Froyo as you said. All Gingerbread roms (even the ones that have the ghost calls problem) have much better battery life than any Froyo rom. And the V21E has even better battery life than the older Gingerbread roms.

Perhaps the .kdz file you downloaded got corrupted? Or you didn't wipe/ factory reset before and after upgrading to V21E? I suggest to download and install again the 21E following the procedure here.
[LG Optimus 3D] oile:
That's very strange.

In my tests I've NOT been able to reproduce a single ghost call making something like 200 calls on 21E

I've only managed to preoduce some "ghost rings" : a single ring (just the first of the rings) wich hasn't been shown by the dialer app. (Not a big deal however)
[LG Optimus 3D] lw_wl:
20g use the same baseband on 21e Italian SH1t ! someone confirm that in the other thread.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

BTW, I'm using V21e for almost 2 weeks, no ghost call so far!
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
I'm not using anything custom. Everything stock...
[LG Optimus 3D] kekio84:
I wiped everything trough cwm yesterday(except battery stats) and my battery is much better today. Around 65% after more than 12 hours... no gc so far....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Hi,

I'm using the native Email client in CM9 with Exchange and was wondering if there was any way to enable notification when an email arrives in a subfolder. From my searching, it looks like Google has disregarded this feature request. This is rather strange as the Gmail client allows notifications for subfolders.

I know that Touchdown and Enhanced Email support subfolder notifications but I would prefer to use the native client if possible.

Do the CM guys touch the Email APK at all or just bundle it 'as is' from ICS source? I guess I could dust off old skills and start hacking the source myself...

All in all, I'm very happy with CM9. The notification bit is just a tad annoying.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
This has been a major gripe from me over the past year or so. Every other phone OS manufacturer has this feature built in except for Android. It's not like this is something that only a few people would use. I have rules like crazy for my work email and hate the fact that I have to run 2 different email setups to get everything to work right.

Stock app doesn't do sub-folder replications

Enhanced Email screws up big time on contact creation.

So I'm stuck setting up the stock app to just pull my contacts while using EE to pull subfolder emails notifications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
I have one folder in particular I need to monitor (autonomous alarm emails from network elements). I tried using the Email widget but there is an issue with that not updating. Bleh. I guess I'm kinda screwed unless Google releases an update or I write a patch.

Hmmm... searching Google I'm hearing noises of other firmware that have patched the Email client allowing notification for subfolders. I'll have to dig into this more later. 'Twould be cool if it was a trivial patch easily applied to current ICS/CM9 Email tree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] randybarrett:
My GS2 running GB 2.36 doesn't support folders, but I have used EE and are currently using touchdown. The strange thing is my Acer tablet supports folders in both Honeycomb and ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
i noticed the other day that if you go into a subfolder using the stock app and press the menu button that you can set it up to sync. I receive so many email that I can't say for sure if the notification window notifies you of subfolder emails, but I know that if you look at all folders you'll see a gray number all the way to the right indicating how many unread emails are in that subfolder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Yeah, I tried that. The folder will sync (I have local cache for folder) but I receive no notification of new emails when they arrive in folder. Grrrr!

I'm not sure why Google put subfolder notification in the Gmail app but not in the stock Email app. Very odd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RpR:
Any updates on this? Stuck in exactly the same situation here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
If it hasnt been posted in 2 months there are probably no updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RpR:
Or the owner of the thread found a solution and happily forgot about ever posting here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Ha! No solution but something more on the order of a workaround for my particular situation. I got rid of the subfolder and built rules in Exchange to discard messages of no import to me.

I have not checked Jelly Bean's Email client as yet. Hopefully it implements notification for child folders. If not then someone at Google needs to be flogged relentlessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
How are you guys setting rules in the native app? Is it something that only works on Exchange? I'd love to find an app that will let me filter my IMAP account like regular apps like Thunderbird/Apple Mail do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
Sorry, I might not have been clear. I built the filter rules on the Microsoft Exchange server, not on my phone.

Who are you using for mail? Google provides a nice array of server based filtering options with Gmail. Also, the stock ICS Gmail client supports child folder (label) notification with the option of setting ringtones per folder. Pure greatness in my opinion.

I'm not sure why the stock Email/Exchange does not implement these features. Very strange...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RpR:
They want you to use their Gmail ;P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] markwg01:
As of the latest JB build the email client functions are exactly the same. I had a DROID Charge before my Nexus, and someone modified that native email client to allow notifications for sub folders. Is there anyway to customize the native client? Anyone want to give this a try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Ahh gotcha! I do have a gmail account but also use my email from my own band/record label domain. Maybe I should just move all the lists im on over to Gmail..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
The source code is available. Someone with the requisite Java skills would need to have the interest and spare time to rewrite some of the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
It works great. I have a torrent of crap hitting my Gmail box but most of it gets filtered and tagged with a label. (FYI -- Google uses labels instead of actual folders in Gmail. For all intents and purposes they are equivalent)

For lists I actually nest lables. Parent label is 'Lists' and all the email lists I belong to are nested underneath. Filter rules automatically bypass the inbox and drop the email in the appropriate place.

See attached screenshot. In it I'm looking at 'Lists/ODK'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tynen:
I too have the same problem and have decided to use TouchDown.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thenetstriker:
I too am missing the nofitications from subfolders in the email app in Android, so I made a quick look at the source code of this app to see if it would be possible to add this feature myself.

The notification itself happens in the NotificationController.java class: https://android.googlesource.com/pl...com/android/email/NotificationController.java

I did until now manage it to get an event in this class when an email arrives in a subfolder by modifying the class EmailProvider.java: https://android.googlesource.com/pl...com/android/email/provider/EmailProvider.java

I've changed the getBaseNotificationUri method to also return an uri on MESSAGE event. The only problem now is that in NotificationController.java only the combined inbox is checked for new emails. Maybe I can change that so that every message is checked. Maybe I have some time this weekend to try this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thenetstriker:
I've managed to build a version of the email app that shows notifications when an email arrives in a subfolder. But when clicking on the notification it just opens the inbox of the account. I have to adjust this part too. I hope I will find some time. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drdobsg:
I think that is how the stock email app on the Verizon SIII works too. Looking forward to seeing more progress!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thenetstriker:
I've found some time to look at the email app and managed it so far to create a version which shows a separate notification for each folder. But there are still some issues that I have to test and analyze. (e.g. notification is instantly recreated when opening the message over the notification) I will share the apk here if I can solve this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 88fingerslukee:
Are you modifying the JB app or the ICS app? I'd be happy to test it on an i927 (Captivate Glide). Any chance it'd work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thenetstriker:
I am using the Jellybean source to compile the app. In the app manifest is the minSdkVersion="14" so I think it should work in ics too. In the meantime I could resolve the last problems and now I am testing the app. Seams to work pretty well. I will release the app and my sourcecode here if I don't find more problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thenetstriker:
Ok here is my first release of my modified email app an the patch file for the jelly bean sourcecode. If you find any problems, please report them here, then I will try to fix them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] illicitporpoises:
I installed this yesterday, and it worked fine when I tested it. I rebooted and didn't receive notifications for messages received over night.

edit: Looks like it reverted to the original mail.apk when I rebooted. I'll have to replace the original.
