[HTC One X] °Dexter°:
Hi there, I've got a gray one x since may, it works fine, I have just some issues: major one is one dead pixel (or a grain of dust, but I bet on the pixel) placed a bit above the "e" in "one" word at boot...it's hardly noticeable with dark colours, but it's still quite middle-positioned.

Second issue is a stuck pixel, a red one, which appears only on some black/gray gradients (not present on opaque skin dock bar, for example, slightly visible on dark stock Htc keyboard)...it really doesn't bother me at all, but could be "useful" to increase defective pixels count.

Last problem is a bit of space at top and bottom of the display...it doesn't let lights out or stuff like that,it just gathers a bit (not much indeed) of dust which remains between unibody and display borders.

Do you think I could get a repair based on these issues (mainly pixels, as I'm not sure that "dust space" is actually a problem)?

I even dropped my phone once, so it has a liiiiight "dent" on the right bottom corner (amd some light get out,sadly,but I can't ask warranty repair for that)...and I'm guessing if they could refuse repair based on that,and maybe even charge return shipment costs (that's an awful policy in my opinion).

I'm italian, and people here say that I could try and it's most like a toss the coin situation, but since I'd need to wait till September (nothing works fine in this country in August) I'd like to gather some stats to decide to wait more or throw that f***ng bootloader out of the window and start to mod as it's meant to be :D

Thanks for any help
[HTC One X] akshatsourav:
yup it can be replaced :)
[HTC One X] death__machine:
I would try for a repair/replacement. A dead pixel around the center can get annoying.

I have a stuck pixel at around 5 o clock of the screen, but I didn't get it repaired. The stuck pixel like you said is visible in dark or black backgrounds. I barely even notice it when I'm using the phone. Sometimes I'll notice it when I'm watching a video but its still really really small because of the number of pixels on this huge screen.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Get your phone absolutely flawless in terms of hardware defects before you ever unlock the bootloader, because once you do HTC seems to decide that it means that they can throw the warranty out the window.
[HTC One X] °Dexter°:
That's why I'm asking...my previous samsung phones have been modded on day one :D

It's quite sad to think that this community grew upon Htc products and countless mods, and now they're getting that tighter on this matter.

Thanks for your opinion guys, don't you think that the dent will be used as a "caused by user" excuse,then?
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
With a dent and an unlocked bootloader, HTC sure has enough excuses to refuse warranty. But you can always try your luck.

I called HTC UK before unlocking my boot loader to ask about warranty straight from the horse’s mouth. First I was told it voids all warranty, but after some discussion about how HTC dev has worded their T&C and talking to two other people from technical help division I was told that the final decision is upto the repair center. When HTC themselves can’t give a clear answer I don’t think anyone here can.

Rooting on the very first day is a pretty ignorant move.. Even though Samsung doesn’t have an official disclaimer for rooted devices on their web site like HTC does; they too reserve the right to refuse warranty (and its general knowledge). Its discussed many times here and everywhere else. Some carriers specifically state it on their web sites and contracts. Samsung may not be as strict as HTC on the matter, but I personally know a person who was denied a hardware warranty claim for a rooted Samsung Galaxy S.
[HTC One X] WC_EEND:
I've sent in a rooted (and dented) HTC Desire in for warranty 3 times so far (one of which was when it was running CM7) and it was accepted and fixed with no issues at all, so I think it's more like one of those YMMV things.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Yes it is, I have come across threads where some (like you) have managed claim warranty while others have failed. So there is always a risk with any manufacturer. But more so with HTC’s because they have a disclaimer to which you have to agree twice while unlocking the boot loader. So its always wise to at least make sure the device is clear of any factory defects before pulling the trigger.
[HTC One X] °Dexter°:
Wait, I have LOCKED bootloader (eagerly waiting to unlock, but I'm waiting for this warranty reason)...my main concern is the dent (which can't cause a dead pixel, but if they want to act like *****es they could use that :D).

As per Samsung phones, it's so easy to bring everything to stock without traces that it's kind of a non-issue
[HTC One X] godutch:
That's the only way to use Titanium and restore your phone and start testing it though properly :(
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Oh, ok, guess I misread your post.

As for Samsung devices, I know they can be restored, but provided you are in a position to do so. In the example I gave earlier, the USB port was broken, so he couldn't use a tool like Odin/heimdal to flash a stock ROM before sending it in. I just took it as an example to show that even Samsung doesn't tolerate flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FinalTrigger:
Noob question, so ive downloaded EZ recovery and I understand everything about the different recoveries I can use to flash roms. My main question is with the kernels. Can I use any kernel with any rom? And in general is the point of a updated kernel to better how the hardware interacts with the software?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathbynukes:
Well the Beans rom comes with a custom kernel (imoseyon lean kernel or whatever) while Synergy just has stock. Just don't try to flash the lean kernel on the latest Synergy rom or you'll get a bootloop. I learned the hard way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FinalTrigger:
I appreciate the quick response. But what does flashing a different kernel do for me? And whats the difference between using kexec vs cwm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathbynukes:
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) kernels have the potential to increase battery life, increase performance, and allow for overclock. You can read up on the custom kernel here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-imoseyon-test-leankernel-tw-82-v122-kexec/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I tried the imoseyon lean kernel for a while & saw absolutely no difference whatever in the battery life over the stock kernel.

I'm not worried about it anymore as I am now using the Hyperion extended battery which has ridiculously long life no matter what kernel you are running......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adriang1984:
My question is....is it possible to run invisiblek kernel without it bootlooping or is there any other kernel that can run in conjunction with synergy1.4 without bootlooping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
Yes you can load the imo 12.2 kernal just need to load busybox first

[General Questions and Answers] warkaos:
Hi folks,

This is my first topic and it's very nice to participate in this kind of forum where we can share our opnions and information.

I'm looking for a mid-range smartphone and searching in Amazon, i found this ones:

Samsung galaxy Advance i9070

and

Sony Xperia P

both ander U$350,00, dual core, 4 inches screen and hope both going to update with ICS.

i would like to know yours opnion of which one are better, or if there is another one that I should consider to buy?

Right now I'm going with sony xperia P because of camera (8Mb x 5Mb) and design.

Thx in advance(not i9070) =)
[General Questions and Answers] Forssound:
I9250

I don't think the advance is a dual core...I belive it's a faster clocked I9000 Both are very good phones...I still use my I9000 now with Jelly Bean ...

Maybe look at the Samsung S2 or the google Nexus I9250 both are in your range.

Personally I would go for the I9250 because the upgrades are official and the screen real estate is 1280x720 which is very nice for reading webpages
[General Questions and Answers] warkaos:
Thx for reply.

I didn't see that the price of google nexus was close to S2 advance and Sony Xperia P, you save me =).

Really, i'm surprised, I thought that it was above U$500 the Google Nexus.

Now I'm sure what phone to buy.... thx a lot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mike131:
Hi I recently received an AT&T Skyrocket and I unlocked it to use on T-Mobile and flashed it to Juggernaut/Faux009/VK1 and everything was going great.

I changed the ROM to SKY ICS, from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 and only updated to D-9

I also changed the radio to the Blaze 4G.

I then started changing between radios to try to find the "right" one, I used Blaze 4g, UVLE. Then I started not getting any signal and went to check APN settings and I received the error "Insert SIM Card", but the Sim card is already in the phone.

I then tried to flash a bunch of different radios including the above and also VK1, and Telus radios.

Please, I need some help. What should I do? Do you guys need more info?

I got the S3 after having the Evo and then the SII. The SII was a step up in almost every way from the EVo but the big step down for me in the S3 is the keyboard. Why does it have so many more problems then the S2 keyboard?

I tried other keyboards that are supposed to be like the S2 but none are as good.

I love Swype myself but if you want a good standard keyboard the stock ICS keyboard I have attached is better than both the S2 and S3 stock keyboards IMO.

I reported the thread to have a mod close it because there are already existing threads discussing this as mentioned. I didn't report you and you had better have a good reason for reporting someone.

Also I could have kept my mouth shut and let the other users chime in and give you more grief over posting a duplicate thread.. but I didn't.

So I took the plunge and rooted, flashed beans ROM. Loving it so far.

My only issue is that my notification light doesn't blink it now stays on constantly.

I've kept my setting the same bit cannot get this corrected.

Has anyone else had this issue?? If so how'd you fix it.

The notification light is supposed to blink? I didn't stay on stock long enough to notice.

Lol, its supposed to blink. I'd like to hear from someone running another rom to see if it is happening to them as well.

I'm running Beans R6 and my notification LED is also not blinking lol

I too am just stock rooted using noxious ninjas method and since seeing this thread i've only had a facebook notification and that is just a solid red, not blinking but i'm not sure about other notifications since I haven't had any yet.... But before I rooted, I could've sworn a FB notification showed up as a kind of purple light and now its just red!?

[Edit] I just sent an email to myself to test the notification and it does blink blue, so it is working and per the comment below, FB wouldn't make it blink anyways.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Time for another meaningless question (from me)...

I'm looking for a good audio player. I've been using the stock player, since it's the only one I've been able to use where the EQ actually works (external EQ's haven't worked at all for me for some reason)

So, here are my desires:

Good working EQ

Widget with cover art would be nice

MP3/FLAC/ALAC (not a firm requirement on ALAC) support

I'd prefer cheap, or at least a fully functional trial so I can decide if it's right for me. Most that I've seen that have a "Pro" or paid version have crippled the free version so it's not what I want (Winamp, doubleTwist, Rocket Player come to mind).

Recommendations? I don't mind paying for it, but I want to know what I'm getting into first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
