[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
so i have been thinking of unlocking the bootloader on my prime but didnt know if it was worth it. i was reading the warranty info: http://support.asus.com/warranty.as... Pad Transformer Prime TF201&os=&hashedid=n/a and i saw that it only covers defects in materials and workmanship. theres a part that says "We apologize for not be able to provide service for individual components (such as hard disk or CPU)" so does that mean if something happens to any of those things asus wont cover it or they just wont service it and i get a new one? what problems had you guys had caused by unlocking the bootloader if any, and what problems have you had that didnt have anything to do with unlocking the bootloadefr? and did asus cover those problems?so final question is it worth unlocking or is the warranty worth more? because asus customer service pretty much sucks. it took them 1 week to replay back to me with a useless answer when i needed help recovering deleted pictures. and every time i try to contact them thru live chat no one ever connects. so who recomend unlocking and why and who doesnt and why?

i have also seen people that have the problem where their screen craked. did asus replace your screen even if you were unlocked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
these forums get more views than replies. 194 views and no replies. does that mean everyone is on locked bootloader?:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jiffy1080:
I would say that if you are afraid of paying for repair then never unlock your device unless you know how to fix it or have a backup plan. I personally got a 3rd party warranty for any hardware issues that happen that aren't normal for the Prime.

Is the prime better unlocked? Yes tremendously better.

Is the Asus Warranty worth not unlocking? No IMHO
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
I've seen too many hardware issues posted here to take a chance on unlocking as it voids the warranty. Most people I've seen are simply rooting their device. I'm waiting to see if Asus is going to give us NVFlash which would make it safer to play and a way to recover a bricked Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
i am rooted but locked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
RMA'ed twice since Dec when I bought it. I'll never RMA again and wait 2 months like the past 2 times. I chose to unlock recently when I got it back and it was the best decision I've ever made.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The reason that people aren't replying, is because this question has been asked and answered a dozen times already.

If you unlock your tablet's bootloader, you basically void your warranty.

Unless you know for certain that you never want to get an OTA update, or warranty repair again, don't unlock your Prime.

If you think you may have hardware issues in the future, and you don't want to buy a new tablet or pay to have them fixed, don't unlock your bootloader.

If all you bought the Prime for was playing around with custom ROMs, or if the only way Android has ever made you happy is through a custom ROM and you don't mind not having a warranty, then yes, go ahead and unlock your bootloader.

And yes. Asus knows when when a tablet's bootloader has been unlocked.

Stupid question: the app says you don't have to open the app before you place it on the sensor. Do you just unlock your phone and bump from the home screen?

Google Wallet

The frist time i used google wallet i got ask to see my ID which i didnt have it since i just came from the gym so he didnt let me buy the items i wanted and this was at chevron . the next day i i went to a diffrent gas station to put $10.00 of gas and the cashier said they didnt accept it when on the front door a big sticker says google wallet acceptted here !!!! anyone else run into this problem ??:mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
I haven't used the $10 credit yet but I think NFC is pretty bad ass. Visited 7-11a couple times this weekend. First visit all the cashier could utter was "whoaaa". The second time the girl looked at the other cashier and said "wow, did you see what just happened?"

I had trouble with it a couple times though. Not sure what the issue was. The last time I used it to pay at the pump and it was flawless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Just tried it at 7-11. Turned on screen, scanned it. G wallet asked for pin, then said scan again to send. Scanned, message came up to ask cashier to check transaction or scan again. Scanned again and went thru. Now, I wanted to open up gwallet to which it said says wait to initialize....wtf?. Now I can't open it at all. Contemplating a restart but to lazy atm.

I've looked around and haven't seen anything regarding this. The blue color is very meh to me and I would like to know if I should hold off and wait for the white/black ones.

[HTC One S] tdtylert:
Do you mean black/red?
[HTC One S] Habarug:
It is white/ black because it chips so much I guess :P
[HTC One S] Shadow2344:
The black/white design is only for the One X so I don't think it will come for the One S.
[HTC One S] CryoBolt:
The white or black( more of a charcoal grey to me) color scheme is for the one X. If you are referring to the black one s with the red ring, well that is a different story. Here is an older post about the topic : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1607010

But to be honest, I don't know if they will even get the black one s with all the problems are people are having with the finish. Some htc people say that they are fixing the process, other htc people are saying that is nothing wrong with the process. As a business, why would want to screw around with that?
[HTC One S] chw2006:
Thanks for the link.
[HTC One S] mmceorange:
I have the black and it is still perfect after a few weeks, even after it falling hard enough to chip the glass (not my fault!).

So I think the problem is, for the most part, and as some others have said, people who are not having a problem with the MAO don't bother to report as such. For all we know the vast majority of the black phones are fine. Need to compare total number currently in use with the number of individuals with the issue (and not the number of complaints, nor the number of posts in the MAO fail threads)
[HTC One S] CryoBolt:
That could be the point. Since the bad news seems to be more prominent then the good news, that may cause them (carriers or people) to stay away. I don't know though. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Personally, I am going to wait to mid-June and if there is not even a hint of a U.S. MAO, I am going to just get the grey one. I don't think I could wait any longer.

Think I figured it out. My voicemail notification wasn't going away so I went to settings call clicked voicemail service made sure my network was checked then I clicked on clear voicemail notification and it went away.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
I had this problem when I first got my device. I understand that this can happen with many Android devices under different circumstances. Best thing to do is use another phone, call your device, leave a voicemail, then clear it. The notification icon will unglitch. Seems you already fixed this though :)

Yeah I tried that a few times but didn't work. Don't know thanks tho. Just thought it may help someone.

I had that problem too but it didn't work when I called my voicemail through that phone. So I did leave a short voicemail but I access my voicemail from a different phone and deleted the message. After that the voicemail notification went away for me

[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Hi guys

I have religiously followed the steps needed to install cwm. i.e. I downloaded the nitro.. bootstrap -> then on recovery reboot installed the J.Y. Daddy Global cwm zip as well -> then denied superuser permissions to bootstrap. This is all shown in http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1511616.html - I just wanted the first two steps...

However after doing these when I reboot my phone it does not boot into cwm. It just boots into the stock recovery thing. I dont understand what I did wrong or whether this is a unique case for some reason.

I was thinking of allowing superuser access to bootstrap and then reinstalling the JY Daddy cwm but I don't know if this is safe? And I dont want to go thru the pain of bootloop.... I havent touched it coz I thought would ask the experts what the way to go about this is...

I really want cwm recovery as the I was stuck on bootloop earlier and the process to flash to stock and recover everything was extremely painful. I do want to try another rom but of course cmw is needed before I dare try and end up worse than I started...

Thanks!

Please help if anyone knows a solution...
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
This may sound simple but did you hit "bootstrap recovery" when you first opened bootstrap?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Yes I installed the JY daddy after I did the reboot recovery through bootstrap.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
also its safe to reenable su for bootstrap
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Ok thanks for letting me know that bootstrap is safe to reenable su permissions - i just hope this does not conflict with cwm if it was successfully installed the first time..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
it could be as simple as rebooting again. I think it takes 1 full cycle before it actually sticks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Just did it again. Rebooted. Granted permission to bootstrap then reinstalled JY Daddy and then denied su permissions to bootstrap and rebooted and no cwm recovery came up :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
reboot again without changing anything. it may take a few times for it to take effect.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Reinstall bootstrap, hit 1st button, then 2nd, reinstall cwm on boot (global), then reboot, deny su to bootstrap when it asks, then reboot again.. should stick then.. then you can uninstall bootstrap app if you don't want it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Just did that i.e. reinstalled bootstrap and then cwm and rebooted 3 times but still nothing...this is truly puzzling...
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
I had a problem with cwm not sticking on stock 2.3.6 and it was because there was init support. I had to flash an init zip to get it to stick.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25115356&postcount=17
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Ok so basically can you tell me if this is what i should do:

1. grant su to bootstrapper.

2. reboot in bootstrapper recovery.

3. Flash the init zip thing you linked me to. (also are you sure this will work on atrix 2 coz it doesnt mention in the link - also is it the cwm file or it is something else to enable me to install JY Daddy??)

4. Now install JY Daddy.

5. Deny su to bootstrapper

6. Reboot.

Is that right? Problem here is I dont really know what init means...
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
Yes, it's for Atrix 2. Boot into recovery, flash the init zip with cwm, reboot, deny su in the bootsrapper, and install jydaddy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
Just did this - booted in bootstrap recovery, installed the init zip - then rebooted and reinstalled jy daddy - then denied su to bootstrapper - then rebooted twice but still cant get cwm recovery to boot up... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Are you sure this "stock recovery thing" is not simply recovery? It looks pretty stock and basic... though it says clockworkmod recovery somewhere on the screen... if it stops somewhere besides just straight booting to your homescreen, that most likely is cwm recovery mode...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
rebooted thrice now and still no change..
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
No it doesnt say clockwork recovery anywhere and that stock recovery I get only my manually turning on phone in recovery mode...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dheerb:
When I boot up it just boots up normally...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bilalakhtar:
One question: Did you mean yakjuxw or yakjuwx? The builds are different I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Google has provided the images on their site. It is very simple to flash them to your device. No hacking required... all official methods. See the "flash" link in my post. Many of us will guide you though it if you have issues.

If that is too much "fooling around" to get "the latest and greatest", would you mind if I asked you what you are doing on a developers' site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geemaan:
He's probably waiting for a direct link to the yakjuxw update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
I guess he meant that google should provide better support for Galaxy Nexus, OTA for some and not for others makes no sense:confused:. Atleast they should provide better information. Since you see him asking here instead of an official google or an android site, then it confirms that XDA provide better answers than google and android combined. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I understand exactly what he is looking for. What I was trying to get across to him, is that it is just as easy to switch to yakju, and it comes with more benefits. No one has demonstrated any benefits to being on a non-yakju/takju build, only detriments.

Google does provide better support for the Galaxy Nexus than any other device. Can you name me a device that Google provides better support for? If the OP is asking here on a dev site, he should expect to get a dev answer, like "flash it yourself".

What you are talking about is non-yakju builds that are NOT supported by Google - they are supported by Samsung. So, if you want to get your updates once they have gone through two bureaucracies (Samsung and Google) and double the time, then stay on a non-yakju build, If you want to get them once gone through only one (Google), then flash yakju or takju, and you will get them much sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fpbasilio:
i felt the same way as the OP.. until i grew some balls and flashed to yakju. hihi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mirox3m:
I had my GNex for just 3 days before it lost completely any GSM/Data and WIFI signal - permanently!!!

I am now very happy that I didn't follow your instructions an move to "yakju", because they replaced it with a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you had a faulty device, that has nothing to do with yakju.

And besides, there have been reports that people returned their non-yakju device with yakju installed, with NO issue. On the contrary, there have been NO reports (that I have seen on XDA anyway) of anyone being denied warranty because of installing yakju (which by the way, is the factory image...).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zmydust:
Understandable question for sure, but I joined this forum when I was researching my first Nexus device and all roads led here. Any question could be answered here, any information found. Just because I don't dive into flashing my phone doesn't mean questions don't come up or I don't have the urge to know what's coming out or available now. Basically XDA has become my authority on cell phones even though I don't mod mine to its fullest potential.

Touche
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zmydust:
Another quick question, if someone local flashes my phone to Yakju , is there a way to not lose all my current data? ( texts, mms, data for the games and apps I'm currently using, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. Given you are on 4.0.2 (or 4.0.1), you can follow this step-by-step to root. Then you can install Titanium Backup, which will back up everything for you. Then follow this step-by-step to flash yakju.

It's not difficult at all -- actually quite simple. I'm sure it looks much more daunting than it actually is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Updates are rolled out in BATCHES. Not everyone or every firmware version receives updates at the same time. That's how it is and how it's always been.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Correct, but yakju and takju will ALWAYS get updates before the other GSM builds. Case in point: only yakju and takju are on 4.0.4, and they were on 4.0.2 first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
still they should make nexus in a one build GSM, one build CDMA. No point of having a nexus phone that is behind in support! Atleast they should print on the box "this product is not supported by google"

Hey All,

I just picked up my new EVO and want to protect this baby. Currently, Best Skins Ever is having a buy one get one free sale and I was wondering what your thoughts were on the front skin fitting from a ONE X? In other words, will a screen protector made for the HTC One X fit on the EVO LTE. Right now, BSE does not stock any protectors for the EVO LTE, only for the variants of the ONE X
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bikemechanic0128:
I don't think there the same. May be close enough to fit OK. It looks like the One X is rounded at the corners of the screen, where ours is a right angle. I wish BSE had ones for the Evo LTE. I would love to pick up a couple more to have for spares. I had the same one from BSE on my OG EVO for a year and a half. Still looked good.

I went with the XO skins for now and it was perfect. No orange peel at all. Not that the orange peel really ever bothered me before. They were the only ones shipping when I preordered.
