That's what happened to me today.. They tried to fool me into believing the HTC Evo was a comparable phone to the Galaxy S2.. When I wouldn't budge they tried to get me to upgrade to the S3 by paying $260+ to buy out my contract and upgrade by signing another two year contract.. I'm pissed off.. I mean why do I pay insurance for?

Ha that's why I think phone insurance is such a joke. Better of just saving that money and buying a used phone out right. All of my android phones have been used purchased on eBay or Craigslist and have never had any problems.

I made a claim on mine the other day and they sent me an Evo 3D which wasnt bad but I just came from the 4G and wanted soemthing different so I complained a bit and they are now sending me a E4GT but I have to wait 5 days

If you raise enough of a stink, probably... but I'd say they're trying to run that stock out before the holidays. (More S3s, more $$$)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmywisdom:
My screen shattered on my black E4GT a couple weeks ago. TEP offered me an original EVO 4G. I said no way, that's a two+ year old phone. They then offered me an EVO Design or a Motorola Photon. I refused. Four different people, including two people from their "Resolution Team" said there was nothing else they could do. My phone wasn't available. Fourth person offered me a supervisor. Within 30 seconds I was offered a white E4GT. Fine by me. UPS delivered it about 18 hours later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
New or refurb?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
Just call and talk to them.

Be persistent but don't try demanding anything from them or you will end up in a 10 call 20 person runaround.

Know your facts and f they try to offer you an inferior device call them out.

Remember... you will catch more bees with honey than vinegar.

Good Luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
It kinda is but if a month in your phone gets destroyed its totally worth it. No ones getting a Galaxy SIII straight out for 150 bucks etc. I lost my last phone the month after I took insurance off it. Bought another on ebay for like 30 bucks until my contract was up (not a smart phone).

The real idea long term when there are little to no replacements available is you have A phone that in general runs most of the software you had before. But yeah its often idiotic the choice they give you and it takes some doing to get a comparable phone. Your alternative choice is buying a phone for 100 bucks of Ebay that is nowhere near what you had, or just going without a phone altogether.

When insurance was introduced most phones didn't even do what these phones did there was less to lose, maybe your phone couldn't run this jar or that jar that was about it. Its a little more problematic now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
sigh, these guys suck.

I've tried talking to them, all they give me is the option to get a Nexus S 4G, the phone from which I paid 200 bucks to upgrade from. The E4GT is backordered, and they said a minimum of 7 days till they have a possibility of it being back in stock.

I don't understand how they can screw a customer who's had TEP for ages like this.

I'm going to give Executive Support a call, let's see what they can do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AthlonII240:
They tried to pull that crap with me when I TEP'd my phone due to a faulty screen. They sent me an EVO 4G and said that it was the most comparable phone they had in stock. I told them I wasn't going to take a phone that was 2 years old when mine had just came out. They said it was all they could do and that they would be sending out the replacement phone within 24 hours.

A couple of days later I got my replacement phone, sure enough, it was an EVO 4G. I shipped it back, and here I sit with my faulty E4GT.

TL;DR TEP is garbage and you might as well outright buy your phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
email Dan Hesse's office and file a complaint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
I don't have that email lol, i'll pm you for future reference.

But after two weeks of this, I finally got a E4GT, but the replacement they sent sucks, the GPS doesn't work at all, and the screen is really dim, they said they're sending me another replacement, but lets see how long this one takes.

At least I can make an receive calls for now/get my email lol. I'm canceling TEP after this, it's not worth the amount of money that I'm paying.

Dear HTC,

I understand that it takes hours and $ to mod Android, and Add Sense to keep the flyer up to date.

I am a very loyal HTC customer and an even greater fan of your products.

If you were to only Give us a complete vanilla bake of Jellybean I have every confidence that we could and would add a Sense twist to it so that we would continue to use the flyer. And not have to sell it on ebay for $150 and get a nexus.

Thank you

[Motorola Droid 4] mark.detroit:
Gummy 1.2 seemed to have moved my Droid 4 to Android 4.0.4, but without proper kernels or radios or some such. I want to know how to get it back to a point where I can install the newer kernel/radios and maybe use a different ROM. As is, my battery life is awful with Android OS eating up 50% my battery. Can someone point me to an appropriate thread on this matter. Searching has just left me confused. Thank you.

No, can you point me to a tutorial or something? Searching and navigating these forums can be really tedious.
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
I'm running the latest ICS Leak/Now OTA and get between 12-24 hours depending on what I set my system on. Normally I run SetCPU on Min:300 Max:800 Gov: Hotplug, and have almost no lag for normal every day use and even playing games here and there. You might try 217 Kernel and see if SetCPU or your choice of CPU monitoring software could help.
[Motorola Droid 4] mark.detroit:
Yes, that sounds good, but how do I go about getting Gummy off my phone and getting the new kernel and the legit ICS so I can put a new rom on that. Right now the Gummy rom is just forcing an ICS over the GB kernel and such. Causes a lot of problems.

I'm running Safestrap 1.09 and the Gummy 1.2 ROM. Can someone please tell me how to safely upgrade to a better ROM with actual ICS kernels and such. I keep reading and reading through the forums but I don't see anyone explaining how to do this particular scenario.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
well i guess amazon will not ever sell the nexus 7 unless google contacts them and tell them they want to sell their tablets through amazon, of course google (and apple) would never do that. 3rd party sellers are selling the 16 gig version for about $300, i thought that's crazy but i remember i have to pay tax and shipping if i buy from google play store, i live in california, anyone live in CA bought this tablet from google play store? what was the total cost including tax and shipping? do they have free shipping?

the reason i want to buy on amazon is because i have some money in my gift card balance, this seems like a good tablet to buy,

Buy locally. You will avoid the shipping costs. You can buy online from Walmart, Office Depot/Max, or Staples & "ship site to store" & avoid shipping too. Also, when you buy locally, if there is a problem with the screen, you can return/exchange immediately.

Flashed over to CM10 today. I had to flash the kernel manually through fastboot. This is not normal.

It was off the charger from a full 100% to 42% in only two hours?? I haven't been using my phone to watch videos or listen to media either. it was just casual texting. The brightness is dimmed as well with the screen sleeping at 5 sec. Any idea with a fix?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Yep, you've got a wakelock

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Use either betterbattery stats or GSAM battery monitor to determine the culprit
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
i generally start, to get a high level view and without adding any 3rd party apps, under settings and battery status. there is a decent graph and list of apps running on the phone. i'd start there and see what is going on.

generally, if you're on the same cm10 as everybody else and nobody else is experiencing the issue, then i'd be in inclined to lean towards a 3rd party app causing the issue.

as is normal with these types of bugs, it could be quick or it might take some time to narrow down the issue ... many variables involved. best approach, as suggested above is to start analyzing battery usage, which is closely tied to how often and long applications are running.

feel free to post up some details around your research and we can help provide feedback/suggestions.

hope that helps!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmugrad04:
I have run into a few wakelocks with cm10 as well. Another thing you can try to do is analyze the alarms within terminal emulator. Launch terminal emulator > su > dumpsys alarm. Scroll to the bottom and see if anything jumps out at you in terms of holding a wakelock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Outkastzgotti:
I used GSAM and it said I had a wakelock but never pointed to where..i rebooted the phone and let it charge over night.. if it happens again today i'll look further into it. I used the stock battery app and seen mediaserver was the main culprit but after doing some research it can be a numerous number of apps..so i looked at GSAM like suggested but it didn't specify. I'll update later with any definite results..im sure im not the only one with the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmugrad04:
Another app that I have found useful is "autostarts". It allows you to limit what apps startup at various times (i.e. startup, charging, etc.). I disabled a lot of autostarts for programs like "maps" and it seems to have prevented some of the battery drain that was occuring to me. Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jmg1andonly:
I have CM10 M1 and mine has not been draining that fast, but seems to be going down quicker than usual. My phone was kind of warm today as well. Samsung specs of the phone state like 10 days of stand by time so it should be lasting a LOT longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
It does if you just check the stats for longest wake or something like that, quite accurate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jmg1andonly:
After you find wake locks how do you kill them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
You just have to find which apps are causing them and either play with the settings to try and prevent it or uninstall/freeze them. I get some pretty bad wakelocks on cmx also...I use BBS to monitor what's causing them.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Force close the apps but most of the time they do come back, freeze them in titanium, uninstall them, or if you can, adjust any settings that could affect wake lock I.e. maps, there's an option to allow it to randomly update your relative position to acquire faster lock, this can be turned off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jmg1andonly:
So in Titanium backup it's only showing my user installed apps as options to freeze no system. Any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmugrad04:
You sure system apps are checked in the filter menu?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jmg1andonly:
I found them and had a wake lock. Thanks man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jmg1andonly:
No more wake locks. I guess 17 hours without a charge and still at 35 percent is a battery increase from touchwiz. I think heck yes!

Then do yourself a favor.... Go back to stock, relock your bootloader and don't look back. If you've read the thread you would need to ask about it here. The first couple posts tell you everything and no one can answer your questions about it better than the dev. Yes, it will work with any android device. Some platforms have different things that need to be done than others (last I looked at it at least) and there are instructions and links for everything in the first few posts.

I've used the supercharger script on the aeroevan's unofficial CM9 rom and macrodroid's ArcticICSed rom with no issues.

Warning....., if you installed the AndyBones tweaks for the Arctic rom (or Tazz's 3.6 ICS) and then run the Supercharger script, you will end up with a blank wallpaper and a reflash is needed to fix it. The Supercharger script will modify your build.prop and init.d scripts (plus install a S99 script) will may conflict with the tweaks program (the Rosie tweaks in the tweaks program include modded winfree values which may be the cause of the conflict).

Has anyone used V6 SuperCharger with TSM UKB II 1.3.1 with success?

"service.jar patched for v6 supercharger"

(i would have posted in the OP thread, but I don't have permission :eek: )

Can someone chime in that has used V6SC with the ROM in question?

Better yet... give me a "howto" for implementing it?

My sd card is fried. I tried loading it on my pc with no luck. I am planning to go and get another one. However, will the phone still boot without the system files that were on the sd card? If not how can I fix it.

Thanks

"If your problem is that you cannot mount the SDCard (as opposed to being able to mount it but it is empty) I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.

I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:

1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)

2. Select "Mount"

3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"

4. Connect device to PC via USB cable

5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP

6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"

7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)

8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows

9. Reboot the device

Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased."
