[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
advice needed..

long story short.

i have insurance. my phone got run over while i was biking and the screen is shattered and the screen will not display ANYTHING but the phone actually still turns on and lights up and i can odin and all that.

so is there anyway i can go about getting the phone replaced WITHOUT paying $100 to assurion?

any advice?

once again, phone seems to actually work fine but it is not functional in that the screen remains black and will not display anything, so a replacement is needed..

EDIT:

also phone is rooted so if i took it into a sprint store, should i odin stock, and if yes wouldn't it then show my odin count @ 1?

would they even bother checking for root if the phone's screen was dead? is there any chance of me getting the phone replaced free of charge or cheaper then via insurance?

1. Get a car.

2. Run over somebody else's phone.

3. Feel better

4. rinse and repeat.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
You pay 10 dollars a month for insurance for these types of problems. If you don't want to use your insurance why pay for it? There is no way around it. No need to Odin anything. Just be happy you had insurance and pay the 100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I think there's no way around the $100 because its physical damage caused by you.

Root won't matter because its a hardware issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
yea that's what i thought.

just didn't wanna take the $100 hit but better than nothing.

i'm pretty sure i pay $8 for insurance..

i guess this thread is done unless someone got some super secret cool idea for me?

You had an accident- insurance is for accidents- they wont be looking for suspicious Roms when a phone looks like it was " run over by a car " ..be glad you have insurance- ask for a new phone- dont settle for a refurb. if you can help it. ( refurbs are usually fixed phones, prior lemons, or returns-) and last thing- cry the blues !!!! get their sympathy- maybe if its a hot sales lady, you might even get her number....:cool: no- but seriously- use a bit of drama to get their compassion....

Why is it I never get full reception on CM9 and aokp but I get full signal reception with Dark side and other roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
I assume you're talking about the signal bars. I heard it's just a display bug.

Check under settings about and see what your db are, and compare that. If those are still different, then this might be a serious issue, but the signal bars don't mean anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Agreed. I have the same issue. but my signal is still the same, if you switch it to display dB value versus signal value then it says the same thing. Im guessing its just a flaw in the XML found in systemui.apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] V6iNSPIRE:
Yes i'm talking about the signal bar. I guess Ill keep searching for some type of fix or something.

Go over to theme an apps, there is a thread for this
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
I've tried searching for the solutions to this, but some of them are difficult to search and I'm struggling to get relevant results. So I apologize if any of this has been covered elsewhere.

Anyhow, I just installed the ParanoidAndroid ROM last night, and it all went very smoothly, and I was pleased. But, there seem to be a couple issues that either I need to iron out, or that the devs need to. And I'm fully willing to believe it's an issue on my end and not theirs, so, here we go:

1) In CWM, the top half of the screen or so has the rainbow glitch going on and there's a de-centered kind of effect happening that makes it very difficult to use.

2) I'm unable to get my external SD card to mount. I've seen plenty of threads about this similar issue, and I've tried tweaking the build.prop entry regarding this, but nothing I'm doing is helping.

3) The flash only works once per boot, even with included flashlight app. I haven't tested the flash's functionality in the camera yet. But in the flashlight app, the flash will turn on, and when I turn it off, it won't come back on until after a reboot.

4) I now have two installations of the stock Gallery app (com.android.gallery3d and com.google.android.gallery3d). I'm sure I can just uninstall one, but is there one that would be wiser to uninstall?

Otherwise, everything else seems to be working just fine. Thank you all very much in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
I've since discovered and fixed a new problem. My phone was apparently not sending or receiving any MMS messages, over WiFi or otherwise. But the APNs described in this post fixed that entirely:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23806717#post23806717

As problem #4 from above goes, I deleted the com.android.gallery3d app and kept the com.google.android.gallery3d app as there were internet and syncing features that were omitted or nonfunctional from the former one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benbos_06:
Just so you know, if you read through the paranoid thread in the dev section or any of the ics ROM threads actually, all of your questions r covered. I cangive you answered/jumping off points for your questions.

1. The rainbow distortion comes from having Froyo bootloaders instead of GB. To fix this you will need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash the GB bootloaders. Look in the ISET Super Everything thread that's stickied in the dev section. BE SURE to flash something else with Odin or Heimdall (whichever you choose) before you try flashing the bootloaders. If you lose your connection while trying to flash bootloaders, you can hard brick your phone which basically means you have a shiny coaster.

2. Your external sd card is found in the emmc folder on ics ROMs. You need a root enabled file explorer to open it.

3. Using your camera flash as a flashlight which I believe is referred to as torch is one of the few known remaining bugs on Infuse ics ROMs. The flashlight app that is included is currently the only way to get it working. The flashlight should turn on everytime you open the app but it won't turn back on if you turn it off while in the app.

4. MMS is an issue with the APN settings. Look at the last few pages in the dev section. I know it was recently covered on a couple different ics ROMs threads. To get to the APN settings, go through the following path in the settings.

More (under data usage) > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, click on the AT&T listing, then change MMS Proxy to 66.209.11.32

I'm pretty sure that is all you have to do to fix MMS but read some dev threads for more info. I think you can also try to look in the Dev Tools app if it is included with the ROM. In the app, click connectivity then start MMS. Again, further reading should give you more info.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
Yeah, the flashlight thing, I knew was a known bug. But the latest update claiming that "all bugs squashed" misled me, I guess. Because that bug obviously persists. But, c'est la vie.

As the rainbow glitch goes, I never installed Froyo on here, I went from stock to Gingerbread to... actually, here's specifically what happened:

•Initially, I installed 3e Recovery and CWM on my stock Android 2.2 per the instructions here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09p-J_g_Rg, and everything went fine.

•Then I flashed Gingerbread UCLB3 per this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508619, but unfortunately, I made a dumb mistake. I neglected to disable Voodoo Lagfix first and softbricked my phone.

•So, I went back to the Infuse Super Everything Thread and found this fix, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092021, brought my phone back to stock, just fine.

•Then I flashed to UCLB3 the same way as before, only this time disabling Voodoo and it all worked perfectly.

•Then I immediately flashed to ParanoidAndroid and everything went as described in the thread and now here I am with the CWM glitch.

So I've only been stock or Gingerbread ever before on my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infyzzled:
Anyone know how to simply change the font or install a new one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
I use ROM Toolbox Pro.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benbos_06:
Edit: Check the Paranoid Android dev thread end of page 32 and beginning of page 33. The guy that maintains the PA port just posted a link and instructions for the fix to rainbow recovery.

I'm no expert so I may b wrong but I'm pretty sure that if you had a stock AT&T infuse then it most likely came with Froyo originally. Just bc you flashed a GB ROM doesn't mean you got the bootloaders. To get the GB bootloaders, you need to run Heimdall a second time with the "Install Bootloaders" checkbox checked. I'm not exactly sure how it works in Odin but I think you have to have a file in the PDA slot in order to get the bootloaders installed.

I do know that if you have rainbows, it is bc you have Froyo bootloaders. Our at least that is the only reason I've ever heard of and I've read of people with the issue numerous times. I would just read through some of the dev ics threads bc there have been a few times in the last week that I've seen people pay steep by step instructions explaining exactly which Heimdall or Odin to use. I just know that you have to take extra steps to install GB bootloaders. With Heimdall that means checking the flash bootloaders checkbox. They do this bc it can hard brick your phone so they don't want you to install them unless absolutely necessary.

Boz™
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
Ah-ha! Very good, someone else is having my same problems, lol. I'll definitely be using Odin, as that's how I fixed my softbrick issue and I could never get Heimdall to install on my computer properly (Java issues or something, couldn't figure it out and Odin worked anyway).

Do you know if flashing the bootloader will cause any loss of information or settings? Or will it affect nothing else?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benbos_06:
I'm not 100% sure on that one. When I did it, I was using Heimdall to fix my soft bricked phone at the same time so I was basically starting fresh. I'm not sure if it is possible to just flash bootloaders in the Odin PDA slot and keep everything else. I would assume that you would lose everything and have to reflash the ROM from recovery but that's just an assumption.

I would get titanium backup (if u don't already have it) and backup everything and sync with your Gmail account just in case. That way u can save it apps and their settings.

You may b able to ask that question on the PA dev thread and get a better answer.

Boz™
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dstarr3:
There's an XDA Forum restriction on newbies. I can't post in any Dev forums until I've... done something, I forget. Ten posts or ten thanks. I forget what. Either way, I'm not allowed in there yet. lol

Anyhow, based on some threads I've found, it seems possible to flash only the bootloader in Odin. I'm still just waiting to find out how much information is lost in the process before I dive into it.

But yeah, I do have Titanium, and now that I have everything installed and set up just the way I like it, it is time for a backup anyway.

Supposing I need to, is there any problem restoring system apps and data once I do this? Because everything will be identical, minus the bootloader. I just know I've read enough about the dangers of restoring system data on the threads here to be cautious. Even though I'll just be going from ParanoidAndroid to the same flash of ParanoidAndroid, plus a new bootloader, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for all your help, man.

Appears as though that question's already been answered here:

It easy and less time consuming to get a logcat using your device instead of asking here. Am I right? I don't think average people are tend to flash something that doesn't work just to help you out. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just trying to understand why don't you use your phone to get a logcat.

I've could have helped you but just now i've made a backup of my stock rom (I was out of a one v for a month from the moment I returned my previous devices) but I know someone just did it for you.

Now to be on topic, project butter will be possible when the sources will be out? I'm thinking that adreno 205 is capable of running things at 60 fps without a hunch, so it will be possible also for our device, right?
