[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
$470 now $370 next month $270 the following month. Eventually the phone will level off around $225-$300. At that point making sprint deductible of $200 a total ripoff. I guess TEP is a good investment within the first 4 months of a phones released.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pov1:
Well lets put it this way I've had phones since they first came out. Remember that BIG Motorola ! Also one of the first car phones. I've never had insurance or had a need for it. Same with screen protectors. Each to his own.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
Sprint tep has gotten me out of soo many o**** moments that I will continue to pay for it and is probably one of the main reasons I have stuck it out with sprint. No other carrier has "repair" centers like sprint does
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Funny u mention that gfs parents phone is having problems n I was trying to find a vzw repair store w no luck haha so lame n its just a worn charger port cause its a dumb phone n not made well all I could think was really no repair centers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
As my writeup details:

... if you think it's realistic that you'll break more than one phone over the two year contract, or you'll break your phone in the first year, get TEP. Otherwise, you'll be spending more for TEP than you would to just replace the phone outright.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
As soon as it goes up on the 17th im switching to GoCare.com for insurance $97 for 2 years minus lost or theft... $50 deductible and a return of 3 days... Not to bad tbh

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
Can gou cancel any of those insurances any time or are hou locked in for the contract.?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
AFAIK, Sprint TEP can be removed from your account at any time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PaulHBK:
The biggest reason its worth it to me is because i only pay $5/month for insurance on my SERO-P plan which is only a $40/month rate itself...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AB33:
Why is everyone trying to prove why they don't or why they do have Sprint Insurance? What each of us decides to do with our money is our own choice and we all have to live with that. There are pros and cons to both options. Personally, on my account I have 2 OG Evos without it (cancelled a couple months ago) and 1 EvoLTE with it.

Hello everyone,

rhcp did some work with the One S and even bricked a device over it regarding this update. Great news though, he was able to locate the CORRECT method that HTC uses to update via OTA for those who want to flash this.

Before we get to the goods, please understand that I am not responsible for any bricks or other issues. I'm just passing along information from someone who has done great work for the Android community and has already risked his device to locate this method.

Please help him by donating if this was able to help you, this method definitely cost him some money in the end :(.

Thanks guys, I really hope this helps!

This is for TMO user only right?
[HTC One S] nashwing:
We'll all I did was flash the nandroid and then the radio from CWR. It updated appropriately and I have -zero- issues.

What does the update package on the linked site do for the phone exactly? I see if flashes the following:

adsp.img

boot.img

radio.img

wcnss.img

So I'm assuming it does quite a bit...

(I have CWR recovery installed, not TWRP, and see that this is required for this package... so that furthers my hesitation as well as I don't want to flash a new recovery either, as my previous nand's were done with CWR as well)

I don't really want to do anything as my device is currently working beautifully.

Thoughts? Input? Your outcomes?

:confused:
[HTC One S] adrien1977:
Sorry to disappoint but the method did not work for me.

I was able to flash the stock recovery like mentioned and my phone has the original stock firmware.

I was able to keep the OTA downloaded by the phone and used it.

Followed to the letter the instructions, but once it boots in recovery, i see the red exclamation point, then nothing happens, then it reboot and no update was applied.

Phone is not bricked though so that's good.

Hi, i was using a custom ROM on my GT-i9000B. Few days ago, my windows stop recognizing my phone.

I plugged a SGS SII and a Galaxy W at my PC, after that I wasnt able to find my own phone using USB.

I did a system factory reset. Now I am at stock 2.2.1 and I still cant connect it using USB. adb devices doesnt show nothing. Odin shows nothing too.

I also try reinstall kies and samsung usb drivers.

Alog cat shows:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
Try in order:

1) Use other USB port on your PC, preferred is on the motherboard (back side of the case) if it's desktop.

2) Use other USB cable.

3) Use other PC.

4) Check if charging works from PC

5) Check if charging works from charger

3) I tried at my friends pcs and it failed too. At mine pc, when I plug the phone at my notebook , it plays a sound but it didn´t show the phone and the internal sd cards. ;(

4) charge works from usb cable

5 ) charge works from power charger

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andres_a:
Plays a sound on PC or on the phone?

If it is only a phone playing the sound (charging start) then I'd suspect some failure (dust particles or broken connection) in the phone's USB connector - please take a look in to the phone usb socket - does it look ok, are there any bent pins, some large particles etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sektorNBA:
It seems its all ok.

I am worried about what alogcat shows.

I guess i will upload a new rom to my phone using wifi and update it from cwm.

I read about some roms on that format update.zip.

This log part looks like charger connection.

I have T-mobile G-2/ Rooted and running CyangenMod-7.0.2 vision (side note: I had someone root the phone for me I have very limited technical skills and reading these threads for me me is like reading greek.....back to my issue) as with all androids phone a g-mail account is required long story short I had a stalker and deleted my g-mail account replaced it with another. The new account will not sync my contacts or calender. I've looked everywhere and tried asking google for help> my only option it seems is to reset my phone back to factory setting. I'm also having a problem with short battery life, the battery never charges to 100% Ive installed juice defender, should I replace the battery? I don't want to lose my root and I don't know how to root it again on my own. If any one can help me it would be appreciated

factory reset wont loose root

are there multiple gmail accounts on your phone? if you log on to new gmail account from computer can you see your contacts? in phone under accounts and sync is contacts box checked? you can try to reset batt stats first to see if batt life improves
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimm2:
I don't have multiple g-mail account The 1st was deleted the 2nd is the current one using on my G-2 I still get prompted to sign into 1st even tho it doesn't exists. I've tried sync for the 2nd account it doesn't work. when I log into my new g-mail account I only see recently added contacts

I will try batt reset
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
just save all you have on phone. do a nandroid backup via recovery to be safe.

go into recovery and try just wiping cache and dalvik cache, boot backinto phone and see if you can log in and sync

if you cant factory reset and start fresh.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimm2:
I have ROM Manager installed on my phone can I use that to back everything up?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
titamiumbackup for apps and such

sms bckup + for call logs and sms

some launchers allow you to back up home screens

but the crucial thing is boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup

this will make an exact copy of your nand flash and revert it just the way it is

in case something went wrong, always do this if you change roms as well
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimm2:
Thanks for all your help, everything was understanderble, even for me I've followed your advice step by step....like I said I'm technically challenged and It took me all weekend to try this

I backed everything up both nandroid and titanium did the phone reset. the only thing is when I do the restore the old g-mail account is still there, I've wiped the devlic and the cache it's still there

Any thoughts
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
dont use the nandroid to restore, this is just in case other problems arise later. wipe all again and if you need some parts restore those from titanium or sms backup or what ever you feel you need. if your phone dosent have a whole lot of settings tweaked to your desire or a whole lot of apps then just start fresh. i flash a lot of roms and rarley do i use these restore features and when i do its usualy just certain data and not the apps. i spend a good hour or more tweaking and setting up my phone the way i like it after i flash a new rom. if you dont tweak much, just start fresh
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimm2:
Thank you for your patients I have 1 more question

Once I wipe everything & do factory reset will titanium remember my phone when I reinstall it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
titanium will store the info on your sdcard. you would then download titanium from the market and go into and choose a full batch restore or pick and choose what you want restored.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
well as you said that you deleted your old account you will not be able to get your previous contacts. My suggestion is to see if you can restore your old acount(via pc) and then open gmail > contacts > more > export. Export them as a google csv and save on your desktop. later login into our new gmail account > contacts > more > import. now select your previously saved csv file and import. This should help you get all your contacts into google which can be synched to your phone using your new account.

PS: If google doesn't give you a method to restore your deleted account then what i said above is of no use. You should then follow demkantor's suggestions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ubersoft:
I've been playing with various dpi settings on my note (currently running flapjaxx's excellent rom) and I haven't run into any compatibility issues - yet - but I have encountered the tablet mode interface of some of the apps. Is there a way to turn tablet mode off? I'd like to see what the apps look like at 240 dpi using the standard interface.

EDIT: moderator please delete. I should have posted this in the hybrid dpi sticky. I didn't see it because sticky posts are a separate tab in tapatalk.

EDIT TO EDIT: I changed my mind. The hybrid dpi sticky seems to be for a specific ROM, and this is a general question about tablet mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ubersoft:
Yeah, this is a little confusing. After posting this I decided it should have gone in the Hybrid Q&A sticky thread, but after reading that thread I decided it was a sticky for a specific ROM, so my question wasn't appropriate after all.

SO I'm back to this one (since it hasn't been deleted yet.)

I'm using Flapjaxx's ROM at the moment and I really like it, but when I moved the dpi down to 240 I triggered tablet mode, which is interesting but a little cramped in some applications. So is it possible to disable or block tablet mode?

In my defense I have searched for this, but I may not be using the right key words. I've found a lot of questions about enabling it, and a fair number of questions on how to get apps working while it's on, but only one question on how to block it and it was never answered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
So you want to go back to 320 dpi(phone mode), or do you wanna stay at 240 but still have phone mode? Tablet mode should be 213 dpi.

Sent from Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ubersoft:
I want to stay at 240 dpi in phone mode, if I can. Right now I'm seeing the tablet version for my some of my apps.

Gotcha. Misunderstood. Can't help ya there. Sorry. :(

Sent from Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ubersoft:
Ah well. Thanks anyway!

... hm. I'm thinking a little more about what you wrote, and I think I'm confusing terminology here. I saw Tweetcaster display in a multi-column format so I assumed the note was in tablet mode--but it's not, because it's not showing the tablet-style software buttons at the bottom of the screen. Is there some kind of no-man's land between tablet mode and phone mode where the dpi triggers the tablet interface for apps that have it? I guess that's what I want to suppress.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
If actual tablet mode is 213 dpi, then technically you're not in tablet mode. Not sure why the apps would see it as tablet mode. Maybe raise the dpi just a hair higher and see what happens? Just a thought.

Sent from Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ubersoft:
It doesn't trigger at 280.

It does trigger at 260. Somewhere between the two it gets activated...

I think I'm probably just going to have to live with it or settle for higher dpi setting...

Well I have an HD2 that won't restore for some reason. I did a task 29 and when it restores, it just goes to the rainbow screen. And when j restore, using the T-Mobile HD2 software, it gets stuck at 8%. Am I doing something wrong or is the phone bricked or something?

There are no partitions to restore to!
[HD2 General] Sum14u2nvy:
Well I tried the second part but no luck. Thanks though man :).

OK...and how do I do that?
[HD2 General] shanman-2:
Use the hd2 nand toolkit and select either magldr or clk, depending on what your backup rom was.

You need to know the partition size for it also, you will find that on the rom thread.

Have a read here for more info and link to hd2 toolkit

If you get stuck let me know.
[HD2 General] Sum14u2nvy:
Thank you. Ima PM you right now.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No the HD2 NAND Toolkit partitioning is just a tool for Android. I creates partitions on the system partition of the NAND memory for Android to use. Also what ever custom Android Recovery also does this partitioning for Android. It has nothing to do with the native partitions of the HD2's NAND memory. When you flash a Windows Mobile ROM or any other .nb or .nbh file with a RUU the RUU does all of the partitioning of the NAND.

If it is hanging at 8% while flashing with a RUU then it is getting stuck and encountering a problem while flashing the radio.
[HD2 General] Sum14u2nvy:
So what do you propose I do?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xirin:
After installing Viper ROM, I had a brilliant idea to uninstall a bunch of apps that I don't use.

So I wonder, did that break the zip alignment? Should I go back and reflash it?

Thank you!

Xirin
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
You haven't quite yet detailed what leads you to believe that you broke zip alignment... can you give further details?

What are your symptoms, what did you delete.... ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xirin:
The only symptom is my general paranoia :) I just recently read about what zip alignment means, and started wondering whether or not I should have done it.

As far as what I deleted. Swype, Sense launcher, most of sprint stuff, google music (I use the other music player), google movie player, ringtone widget, live wallpapers, mail, gmail, clock, etc.

So far the phone works fine, quadrant scores come out a bit lower than what some people mentioned (comes out at about 4800). My point is that I did all that stupid stuff to make it work faster, but I have a nagging feeling that I may have made it worse. It's not noticeable either way, I'm just trying to understand it better.

Am I doing something wrong I have had many android phones, and this is giving me trouble. I tried holding power and down volume rocker and the screen just stays dark. I also turned off fast boot. Any tips.
[HTC One S] hitmanblood:
Sorry wrong section.
[HTC One S] frdd:
A bit harder than on for example the desire. Try holding it down for longer or uncheck quick boot in settings. Only got it to work once, now I usually just adb reboot recovery from command line on PC or use the reboot to recovery option on shutdown menu (Leedroid)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Yeah its abut weird basically switch of phone completely then press power you will feel a vibrate then quickly start holding down vol down button or switch on and keep holding power and volume and release every few secs how I do it hope it helps
[HTC One S] brwetz:
You don't really have to hold Power for long. If you hold it for a period of time, you will see the capacitive buttons light up meaning it's going to force a restart. Hold Volume Down the entire time though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I wonder if this incorrect picture for the i777 is contributing to the brickings due to flashing i777 roms on the Skyrocket. Still not a good excuse, but this could be very confusing for a noob...

EDIT: Wasn't sure who to report this to, so I found a mod in the i777 forum and pm'd him...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Heck- most if the Samsung phones look pretty close anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
True, most do look similar. But i777 and i727 look pretty close as device names to a n00b, which really doesn't help either. That physical menu button on the og sgs2 might be just enough to make them stop and say, "Hey, that doesn't look like my phone..."

But as I said, it's still no excuse for not being careful when flashing roms. The risks are known and if you need to learn the lesson the hard way by bricking, so be it. All it takes is one hard brick to slap some sense into people (most people, at any rate).
