[HTC Sensation] Wickedlovah1:
I have a Htc Sensation and i updated it from the phone to the ice cream sandwich software. Now my text messages aren't working. I go and click on the message icon on my home screen and it just says please wait... the only way i can read and replay to a message is to go to contacts and go through every signal person to see who texted me. This is every annoying.

I restarted it...

I let it die then charged it...

I did a hard restart...

and i also threw the phone lol.

AND NOTHING WORKED!!!

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HERE PLEASE!!!?? I need to get my messages working right cause i own a business and Im wasting time and money going through every person to see who texted me. so HELP!!!!
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
A few people had this. I believe they said they had, like, thousands of messages and it took an hour after the update for it to load (it only happened one time).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyondellic:
I am curious if the $30 fee for upgrading to a new device, which was implemented on 4/22/2012, is considered a Material Adverse Change that will give me grounds for terminating my service without an ETF?

If not, can I terminate my contract without an ETF since subsidized device upgrades result in an automatic loss of unlimited data and reassignment into a tiered data plan?

This is what will happen according to the following official statement from Verizon:

"Customers who choose to purchase phones at full retail price and are currently on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan. The same pricing and policies will apply to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones."

Source: http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/05/data-pricing.html
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
If you want to terminate your contract using that then try it and let us know how it goes. I don't think they will go for it without paying the fee for ending it early but its worth a shot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyondellic:
Thanks for your reply. Does anyone know if the terms for subsidized upgrades is in the contract? I am having a difficult time locating a full copy of my contract, and cannot find anything about the timing/fees associated with upgrades. My thoughts are that there must be some reference to this, otherwise how would Verizon be able to move someone with an grandfathered unlimited data plan into the new tiered data plan by opting for a subsidized device upgrade? Any thoughts?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwterminator:
The subsidized upgrade path won't get you out of your contract because when you opt for a subsidized upgrade, you actually sign a new contract rather than extend your current one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] «iain»:
The ROM I am using comes with SIyah Kernel which is apparently very good. I dont know the differences between then but if it works then I don't care but the Siyah has this really annoying boot splash before the ROM splash appears, is it possible to disable the Kernel splash only?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
create a file called .nobootlogo in /sdcard

note the . it is needed in the file name.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makrilli:
It's the dual boot screen and as far I know you can't disable it it. But what does it matter it takes only few seconds.

Sent from my sgs2 running cm9
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
He can with the answer above you. It will appear even with the .nobootlogo file if you have a second rom. If he doesn't have a 2nd rom then the .nobootlogo file will be in effect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
i just got my brand new shiny phone and notice theres a black speck, almost like a dead pixel but it seems like its a black dot.... what to do??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
pics.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Take it back. Why would you keep something with an obvious defect when they will exchange it with hardly an explanation? Walk in an tell them what's wrong and you'd like an exchange. They will do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
It may very well be a dead pixel. Dead pixels are not all that rare. I'd say go to/call sprint and say you want a replacement. Who knows how long it will take for you tovget one though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] makavelisk:
I would definitely bring it back....it does look like a dead pixel. I had the same problem with my old 2g iPhone and after a few months of use the dead pixel went straight across the screen overnight. Dont wait just tell them you are not satisfied and want a new one. At least you know too that you wont be getting a refurb this early in the game.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
i just called 2 stores and they dont have any in stock =(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
That's the only problem with 'take it back', you might have to wait a while. Its not that easy. Sprint stores still have preorders they need to fill as well (which they haven't done yet).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
Agreed, swap that sucker out. Good luck on finding one though.. Hopefully the stock issues will get taken care of swiftly.

I had to return my OG evo within the first 30 days because it had the crack by the power button on the casing. Turns out, most of them eventually did this, but they replaced it and before they were giving out refurbs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
If you call them they will drop ship you one just as easily too...I'd call around and see if the stores have any in stock(not likely though)....If not just call and you'll get one shipped to ya for less hassle for going into the store and likely just as fast if they dont have any in stock right now at the store...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
Im waiting at my Best Buy. They said that they are having issues adding the phone to my plan. Anyone else having issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
yes there is lots of issues but soon as you do a chat at sprint.com its solved in less then 10 minutes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
My phone has a similar screen defect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
SERO plan or something equivalent to that like the EPRP ones?....If so you'll have to get a very very nice customer service rep to do it for you b/c evidently your only supposed to order phones through sprint on those plans...ran into this last year with my 3D and the rep said 3rd party just doesn't have the ability to do it...b/c they are basically employee plans...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RuckusDecay:
Yup they'll use the one your sending back as refurb lol :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
Whoops! I just got home after posting that on my phone and realized I posted it in this thread instead of the Best Buy one. :\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Señor Poo:
Ooh look at me, I've got my new phone. And it works great....... lucky. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
I called telesales who transferred me to tech support, and tech support told me that for screen defects I would need to take the phone into a store to swap it. Of course, none of the local stores have any stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Gordon Ramsay:
I got told this as well for my proximity sensor problem. They told me they are not allowed to just ship another phone out... such bull****.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I have a similar spec of dust under the screen in mine. It's so small I barely notice it. Unless there are more serious issues with the device, i'm not going to lose sleep over it or bother returning it.

This spec is only noticeable on a white background. I'm not OCD enough to be bothered by this :) When viewing the phone in a bright environment (outside), you don't see it at all. Having a spec of dust under the screen protector is much more noticeable than this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Koga:
If it makes you feel any better I've got a lousy black speck of dust on mine too... Yes it annoys the hell out of me. No, I I'm not going to bother exchanging it. No guarantee the exchange won't be worse, and in the end the screen is still incredible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Koga:
Confession

OK I have to be honest with you guys. I held onto the phone for 9 days before I finally snapped and decided the dust was bugging me too much.

Went to a corporate affiliated Sprint store this morning hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I guess I just got spoiled from the Apple Store(s) because I was really treated like a pariah from the moment I walked in the door and they realized I wasn't there to make a purchase. The guy up front told me they couldn't help me. I pointed out that I was within my 14 days and I'd return it if I had no other choice. (It's always a bad sign when you, the customer, have to point this out to them instead of them asking you first). When he heard this he just grunted at me and said he'd put my name into the support queue and to take a seat.

So a nice lady finally calls my name is offers to help me out no problems. Granted she and her peer at the workstation next to her think I am crazy for complaining, but hey -- that's understandable. She proceeds to tell me that I can either call Sprint web sales and they will setup an exchange at no charge -- or I can do the exchange in store for a $35 restocking fee. Now -- since I am OCD and it was already 9 days I decided to take the $35 hit and process the exchange in store. Her jaw kind of dropped that I thought a black speck was worth $35 to get rid of but she started to process the order through.

She noticed that I had not brought my box with me. I told her it was in the car and she said I could go out and get it. Lo and behold, what do you think happened when I came back into the store? I found the original guy at the podium giving her the third degree for being so amenable to helping me. He kind of just walked away once he noticed I was standing there next to him listening to what he was telling her.

The good news: The replacement phone seems perfect. The bad news: It was not a good experience to get the exchange handled. They also made it clear that I could only exchange it once and that future issues would need to be resolved through HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Uh I suggest you go to a diff repair store next time... Unless this wasn't a repair store....they should not have charged you anything and if you have tep they are to help as many times as needed...at least at a repair store I would call cs and confirm this tho...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Koga:
Yah -- it was a repair store. And I did have TEP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
They deff should not have charged you at all I suggest calling cs and getting your money refunded... Will probably just credit your account tho which is whatever and tell them what they told you cause that's bs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yntf:
那个应该是坏点
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
Next time ask the store to set up an e-Ticket and to note in the e-Ticket that they verified the screen problem. After that, you can call back order support (if you're within the 14 days) and they will be able to process a free exchange based on the e-Ticket. That's what I did for my phone, and I had my replacement on my doorstep two days later.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
kinda old now but i was able to get my evo swapped out for free though it was not painless. i spent several hours on the phone with CS rep and they made me go into the store so a tech can verify i indeed have a dot on my phone and the person at the store said i have to drop the phone off with their tech for atleast an hour to sit in a queue while i am phoneless just so they can look at the dot on the screen. finally a nice lady at the store said that should not be the case. this was during the time when no sprint store carried the LTE. she said i was within the 14 days and she would swap out the device for me for free if she had any stock but there was no LTE in stock. she pulled up my account, entered some notes on my account and spoke to the rep on the phone and they offered to send me a replacement. Sprint CS said they will call me back after 1 hour but after 2 hours they still didnt call me back, so i called them back and was on the phone for another hour or so and they finally processed my exchange.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thegrriceman:
I agree definitely swap it out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] groovdafied:
Cause we lazy and don't want to ahve to drive back for this thing!:p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
How could I get my LTE replaced do to 2 dead pixels but I'm not on sprint and have flashed to cricket?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
HTC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I'd have to unroot right? And just call them and tell them what happen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yep unroot relock n send it in

Well talk to them first too lol otherwise wait a lil bit n replace it yourself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
So now when I unroot will they be able to tell I rooted? And thanks man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
They may look or whatever but it shouldn't matter seeing its a hw defect and has nothing to do with rooting...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Thanks man hopefully all goes well and they can see the dead pixels
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ptfdmedic:
I got to play around with an EVO LTE for a few days. The idea of the phone is great however I have major problems. I had dust under the screen as well. It also had several dead pixels but the biggest issue was the g- sensors didn't work so nothing would rotate.

Honestly, dust under the screen would drive me crazy. Things happen but I've seen that many others are having the same issue.

The phone was awesome though. I hope you get it swapped out and your new one is in better shape.
[HTC One S] shootind5nukes:
This is not my work but I did not see it in the dev section so I thought this would be a perfect repost. I read this in the HTC one X thread and I followed it EXACTLY as wrote and it worked for the One S. I have the Tmo version.

You need S-OFF for SuperCID but okay.
[HTC One S] shootind5nukes:
no you don't so check it out before you do it. duh. I'm unlocked via htcdev but not s-off. Like I said it worked on my One S and you know the ONE s hasn't recieved s-off has it. Look into stuff a little better before you tare it down.

Can we skip

Awesome I knew when I saw the alternate method to flash a radio worked this wouldn't be far along. I'd expect we'll get a few more goodies from type of method soon.

Also, I knew it was great news when I saw the ATT One X specs. It's so close to the One S we'll be able to benefit from it's development for the entire life cycle of the One S

[HTC One S] Antubis:
SuperCID gives you ability to flash any RUU you want, regardless your original phone brand.
[HTC One S] c19932:
would superCID'ing also allow OTA update? let's say I flashed a RUU to my US t-mobile phone, will i get the 1.78 update?
[HTC One S] zeroprobe:
How lucky I was already SuperCID.

My phone was a demo from Vodafone.
[HTC One S] wardy:
So you should be able to de brand this way . Just Change the CID to HTC__001 then flash lates RUU . Correct?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Thats correct yes.. But you could change it to 11111111 and you can flash ANYTHING.. no more worrying about CID Mismatches again !

so i open hex editor & on line 000212 it has T-MOB0103599, so all I have to do is remove the 3599 and then it should be super cid or do I remove the whole thing and replace it with eight ones ?

8 characters needs to be replaced with 8 characters (11111111). Think about it.

I'm also stuck on step five. I'm getting the "remote object '/sdcard/mmcblk0p4' does not exist". I have tried on both USB charge mode and Disk Drive mode. I have updated my adb, but to no avail.
