[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogeansai:
I've been searching everywhere for a solid answer on this one. As it stands, it seems that both Irish and European law dictates that all electronic devices sold within the EU are obliged to have a 2 year warranty, which covers manufacturing faults.

It seems that the 'ribbon' cable connecting the screen to the main part of the device has become defective and i'm just wondering if anyone here would be able to give me a somewhat solid answer on where i stand with my warranty rights/status.

I'm eligible for an upgrade for on my carrier (Meteor), and it's a toss up between the One X and the S3, so i'm going to get one of these devices regardless (any thoughts on which one i should get while i'm at it?) but it seems pointless not to get my good ol' desire z repaired as it's been a joy to use especially with ILWTs ROM.

Any help you give me on answering this would be greatly appreciated! As i'm really not sure where i stand on this, and my carrier doesn't seem to be a great help with my query.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcsmart:
In Germany this is definitely covered by warranty. The exact same thing happened to my Desire Z (ribbon cable broken, black screen). I returned the phone to my dealer (electronic store in Germany) and they had my Desire Z repaired within 7 working days. It was all covered under warranty and did not cost a cent - they did not even care for S-OFF and Root (had Virtuous Sense 2.0 on it). At the time of the repair my phone was over one year old. So if the 2 year warranty also applies to Ireland (and my guess is it applies to all EU countries) you should be fine.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogeansai:
Thanks very much for responding, hopefully it does indeed apply to Ireland, i'll go down to another meteor store and try my luck there, it does all seem to point that it is indeed under warranty and i'll post here if i get have some luck getting it repaired.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterscent:
Warranty and rooting

Well it does depend on the repair person. If he is a prick, he can deny to repair your rooted phone. Most of them are cool tho. If you can remove s-off, put stock rom, you will minimize chances of rejection.

thinking bout unlocking and installing cm9 but wanted to know if im all ready rooted before i unlock my bootloader do i just unlock bootloader and install recovery through goo manager? please help.:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Hi Blax,

You will probably want to go through adb here is a link to follow:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601942 that is for installing cwm or you can install twrp which can be found in the developement thread here http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1414

There are a number of good roms out there now which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523719

I did run cm9 for a bit but it had a quirky black screen when rotating that I didn't like. Two of my favorites are androwook and virtuous. If you get stuck there is lots of help in the dev forum, just make sure you search before you ask because chances are the question has been answered multiple times, I have learned from experience if it happens to you it has probably happened at least 10 other times :) All I can suggest is do a lot of reading first, chances are your questions will be answered before you ask....

Also if your doing any adb, it is best to have the file you are working with in the adb directory, this way you don't have to use any paths...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaxican25:
Thanks Gage_Hero does installing cwm have to be done through adb or can i just unlock and install TWRP recovery through goo manager since im already rooted but unlocked
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I honestly can't say yes or no, I haven't used twrp, before you do, I would search the twrp thread and see if anyone has taken the path. Best to find out before you end up in a wreck:) If I am trying something new I always research it first and if you don't find a definitive answer, ask one of the twrp dev's they will tell you for sure if it is possible. I am not trying to scare you but I have seen people do things that they didn't check out first then have to go through alot of trouble to get back when they could have done a couple of extra steps and been up and running in minutes not days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaxican25:
ok everything worked androwook id booting up now yes lol my heart was beating
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Glad to hear it blax :) I wouldn't spend too much time setting up androwook though, version 2 will be out tomorrow... many more improvements apparently :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaxican25:
thanks for letting me know before i did all that setting up and restoring lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Larosche:
you install clockworkmod through adb.

You must have your tprime drivers on ur comp installed

As well as java dev kit (JDK) and Android sdk tools installed on ur computer.

I know no other way of doing it.

I've heard it has a lot of glitches so i'm really skeptical about updating. I care a mostly about battery life and performance. Are those two effected a lot? Is worth it? I don't plan to root, just stay on stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xCrusher:
can someone please reply with the pros and cons?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Personally i would flash thederekjays evolution 3 v7. Experiences vary, but i had bad luck on 5-6 ics roms including 100% stock. Evo3 v7 is so far a bit faster and just as stable as GB. Plus, the bennies of ics (Google ics vs gingerbread if you want all the city details).

But as i said experiences vary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
Worth the plunge....I say do it...you won't look back.... Gb is old news. Why would a new version of an OS be worse than it's predecessor?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kibosh1981:
I didn't notice any difference in battery life vs gb and the upgrade made my phone run better IMHO. I just couldn't stand touchwiz anymore and opted for aokp. Besides, keeping gb when there's an available upgrade it like running windows 3.1 on you computer...... why would you do such a thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
If you are happy about GB, stay with GB.

Once you go ICS, you can't go back... since you dont want to root.

It's probably the same honestly. No one is going to give you a stock gb vs stock ICS because no one cares about reviewing stock ICS. It is what it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
2 weeks ago I would've said stick with GB, but then I tried ICS/CM9 & I absolutely love it. My battery life has improved drastically & it's more stable than the GB rom I was on before. Now that the ICS kernels are out, things will only keep getting better. I can't really think of any cons, aside from a slight learning curve due to some menu items being rearranged.

Why don't you want to root? By rooting you can try out ICS without being stuck with it if you don't like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khizar:
i sold my phone couple of day before the ics update was released but i heard many ppl report that the stock ics was alot faster and better that gb. but in the end you will have to flash and try it for yourself to see if you prefer ics or gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] theneedhamwrath:
ICS

ICS is the way to go....Always go with the latest and greatest when OS' are concerned. ICS has been out long enough for Google to iron out any kinks. I would also go with Darkside Evo3v7. TDJ's new Venom kernel is incredible and being about to OC to 1785mhz is a bonus. I usually underclock for battery life. ENJOY
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drLouie:
If you go stock, I recommend you wipe it before you flash it. I didn't the first time and had lag issues, to the point that I was regretting updating. I have since wiped, and used Odin to put on the stock Tmo ics and am happier.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MissingBonobo:
If you guys really think that by having "an all out war" benefits the consumer, you've lost your minds.

You know all that talk about how Apple doesn't innovate because they are busy suing? Well, if Google joined in, who would innovate?

Think before you get all childish revenge rage syndrome. All this will work out.

Am I glad this is happening? No. I'm not, but I wouldn't be happy if Google blocked the iPhone either. Competition is good, and stiffling it, NO MATTER WHO DOES IT, is bad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
There is such a thing as defending your business. If Google, htc, Motorola and Samsung do nothing that would be incredibly stupid. Apple will not cease there endless litigation unless companies make it just as difficult for them. Sorry but you don't sound very informed on the subject.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MissingBonobo:
I understand defending your business, and I'm not against litigation by any stretch, but the calls for Google to "destroy" Apple is what I was talking about.

But apply that to Apple as well. Don't you see them as defending their business? So how is what they are doing "evil"? I just don't understand the Apple hatred. This is business as usual, it's just getting press this time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
They are doing evil by refusing to share and just wanting a all out blocking war.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MissingBonobo:
I guess I just don't label it as "evil". I just see it as business with no morality attached, either way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Milly7:
Yes, pointless to us consumers, but a strategy of these big companies. Such a waste of money that could go to further r&d because it will not affect consumer decisions
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I note with interest that people defended Google saying "Oh, Google doesn't do things like this" when Apple took them on, but now that Google is firing back, everyone backpeddles and says "It's about time Google".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
My friend, I've been down the road of attempting to find out why people on XDA don't like Apple, and once you get through the infantile insults and you reach the people who are intelligent about defending their views, it then only comes down to people saying they don't like Apple's business practices.

Don't go down that road, it's long, confusing, and unsatisfying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I had an I pod 4 32gb... Complete waste of money. The iPhone can not come close to competing with my LTE. I look at the specs & features of a phone & apple hasn't tried to make anything new.

And look at the news the gn is banned. Reasons to hate apple business practices, over priced products.

I love how everyone here hates apple as much as I do!!! I love you guys. I hope apple goes bankrupt and falls into a tailspin of destruction. As steve jobs vowed "he would use every penny of apple to destroy android" well guess what? Time to do the same but google has more money lol. Anyways china is the main exporter of Apple products, yet again another thing apple has done is give all the jobs to none americans.

Rant over, I hope google wins. Come on google buy the patent for "a device that allows you to do anything with your finger" then apple will have to pay google every time they make something!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
LiquidSolstace,

Many people hate Apple because it seems to be trendy to hate them now. I don't think that applies here very much though.

Some people hate Apple because many people who know nothing about technology think iPhones are the greatest, most powerful phone in existence, and don't want to hear why they actually aren't. Many of those users also tend to walk around with their noses up to others, much like people do with other expensive, name-brand items.

Some people hate Apple because they charge an extra $200 for 56 GB of storage space, which is a joke in 2012. Or because they release a new phone built around an app basically, which is ripping people off again. I personally don't like companies who blatantly rip people off. Many others feel the same way.

People in xda generally hate Apple because they are hindering the development of amazing phones with top-notch features by trying to patent ridiculous things (shape of a cell phone... really??) and blocking their competition instead of actually innovating, as they claim to do.

They also blocked our phone for a bit, which is a big strike against them in an EVO 4G LTE forum. Not to mention xda is an Android site, so it is natural for there to be hatred for their main competitor (who's former leader vowed to destroy Android).

It is really pretty clear why people hate Apple. It's hard not too. But I thought I'd give you some reasons off the top of my head. :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
also because they are a monopoly
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
A monopoly? They have a pretty small part of the phone market, and PC market (well, certainly no where near the monopoly level). I guess the iPods pretty much dominate the MP3 player world, but... I don't consider Apple a monopoly, personally.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
at one point they had everything, only phone company (pretty much), had people thinking apple was the best so they where buying apple computers then they would come out with a "upgrade" (buy adding a different number to their phone) and everyone would buy that then 3 months later another and another. It gets old. Also the fact they want to limit all apps and market to themselves. I could go on. They are loosing their grip. I just hope the rope breaks.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

alright im done lol, had my rant. Last words though is "I can't wait till apple fails"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
So you take issue with Google defending itself. And i think your generalizing a bit.

Also your analogy doesn't quite work. That's like saying the country that defends itself from attack is just as guilty as the country that attacked it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'm not sure he's raising his eyebrow at Google in that post, or making an analogy. I believe he is trying to call us hypocritical for first hating Apple when they tried blocking phones, and now supporting Google for doing the same. People essentially changed their tune about phone blocking over patents and stuff.

But really, people have a right to change their minds LiquidSolstace. It happens. Initially something could upset you, and upon pondering it more, you may change your viewpoint. I hated Apple for it too, but not it looks like it's the only way to compete with them, so I'm not hating Google for defending themselves. Sometimes you have to do things you don't WANT to do to stay competitive.

Stupid example: I'm against punching people in the face generally, but if I get punched repeatedly in the face, you can bet I'll punch back to save myself at some point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
And as said above the gnexus has been banned. Or will be if Apple posts the bond and they win their case. Amazing that patents were even granted for those features. Is it really a stretch to wonder why people on xda hate Apple??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LyndenP:
I hate the patent office for granting these ridiculous patents. And the ITC which in my opinion should have no legal authority to ban the sale of a product.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
This reminded me of something I saw recently, it said "How do you know someone owns an iPhone?...They tell you". When I refer to my phone I say "my phone", not "my Android phone", not "my EVO". It's that elitist attitude that drives all of them to say "I looked it up on my iPhone" or "my iPad". It's the same know nothings that make a distinction between an iPad and a tablet. You tell them that an iPad is just Apple's brand of tablet computers and they look at you like you're the idiot.

I would really love to see Google rally the troops and get all the OEM's together and attack. It's never going to happen but it would be fun to watch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Erm, I think you need to look up the definition of "monopoly", because I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean what you think it means.

This is a perfectly fair post. I agree with this, I was indeed only pointing out some of the hypocrisy (granted, not committed by every single Android user) lest anyone decide to conveniently forget about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I agree, many people changed their tune quickly. I noticed that as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I just think of it differently. I don't agree with anyone blocking something like this, but Apple started it so you kinda have to go eye for an eye here. If Google does nothing, and apple keeps winning patents and continues to block android devices.. It will only get worse.

Apple is a smart company, they know android is open source and it isn't really in Googles best interest to play the courts, so it works in apples favor. An all out war isn't gonna benefit us as consumers, but standing by and watching apple force the dumbing down of android devices will benefit us much less in the long run.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Liquid is very good at playing devils advocate or seeing things from an unbiased opinion..but I'm an android supporter and do think at some point they do need to strike back..apple has blatantly taken from android but goes sue happy if they believe a piece of code was takeN from.them..it is an issue for google be open source and apple being closed..apple going after Google's flagship is a statement ..and it could be trouble bc it uses pure android and not a skin..this is a suit against android..not a certain skin developed by a third party like Samsung or HTC..hopefully at some point the itc will see how ridiculous this is getting..and people are leaving apple not bc of these stupid things that's apple claims google stole..but bc they are bored with their iPhone and want to try something else..its crazy bc a lot of my former die hard apple fanboy friends are seeing the new android devices and are finally realizing that android is worth a shot.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theryanfoley:
Google needs to fight...but not in laws suits. They need to let go of past technology disputes and focus on the future...and patent the heck out of it. With Apple focused on laws suits android has the opportunity to devastate on development.

Apple..knock yourself out...they are not gaining market share with these tactics. I know of many Apple customers coming to android all the time. Apple can't compete long term with the consumer freedom and choice of android open source.

Just my opinion
