When I go into sprint I just simply unroot.. I did that with my epic 4G touch when I took it in.. Im trying to think how did the Rep even get my phone lol.. I just went in to get a note 2..But rooting came up and She was going on and on with how they don't cover rooted phones.. I was laughing inside due to the phone she was holding has been rooted so many times and it would be no way to tell

Direct from sprints Methods and Procedures

Basically meaning that if you come in with a totally bricked non bootable device and the boot loader shows device as modified we aren't allowed to do anything.

If the device works and is just having issues they are supposed to flash the stock software back to the phone as a resolution before doing an exchange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
interesting. I dont recall seeing that part previously.

of course though if a device doesn't boot...there really is no way to tell if it was rooted

Just asking did you even read THE VERY FIRST sentence of the post you quoted? I stated that I was NOT recommending to physically break it. Then you proceed to quote the post and say the problem you have with the stated method is physical damage claims have a deductible... ?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] emeraldayotte:
I've taken obviously rooted phones for repair and never had any issues. Matter of fact on a couple of occasions I was asked for help with rooting.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] schale01:
Sprint will not provide support for phones that are rooted or running 3rd party software (roms). That is to say that if you are having issues with data, apps or such and running a rooted rom you will be required to return the phone to stock before any is performed. They Justdon't havethe resources to support every software variety out there. That's not to say that mechanical failure is no longer covered. I do still recommend returning a phone to stock before bringing it into a repair center regardless of the issue. If this seems like too much trouble then perhaps rooting and customizing is not for you.

iPhones are a whole different animal however and any jail broken iPhone is no longer covered and employees have been instructed to flag the device. This is due to Apple.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
you made reference to a broken screen and to asurion ...deductible applies

all I am saying ;)

schale01....the information you are posting is incorrect in regards to corporate repair stores. the policy was chamged last year to cover rooted phones
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Maxx134:
in past devices I was using a rom that looked stock and I retuned for repair, or upgrade and no problem.

Also handed two galaxy s2 same rooted & flashed with stock looking rom for the buyback program upon upgrade.

Also in the past I had a phone replaced witbout having a deductable due to charging port broke inside an htc phone,

EDIT:

and another time due to one battery terminal pin cracked off on an samsung epic, which they did not want to replace except thru asurion,

but I solderd & fixed it myself instead of paying 100,

but then the screen ribbon connector broke off and it was great because they replace whole phone for free.

If you are having thsese issues as well, I would recomend U go to them for those issues instead of screen or other issue requiring them to cry about rooted crap. Rooted issue is so lame excuse just go home & flach back & go2 another Sprint location.

Remember that in a year or two they get the phone value in insurance payments anyway, plus I am paying more for a phone running only 3g now, so who is taking advantage of who?

Also I knew a friend who used a cheap pre-pay phone on another carrier for 2weeks untill the sprint coverage took over on. his new evo3d that the screen died and Sprint did not cover first 30days because not purchased thru them.. He didnt pay anything because it was not cracked.

I also know another person who handed in a phone with a hairline crack in it but was not noticlable with a screen protector on it ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] firelizard:
it worked

I rooted and took to carrier and it worked thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Hi,

So I have noticed in my messaging app that the yellow bubble seems to change from a deep yellow to a greenish light yellow randomly. I will unlock my phone and it will be one of the above colours. I have tried ruling out apps as well as resetting the phone and restoring back to factory defaults. Nothing seems to work?

Any Ideas?

Running stock Optus 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
U can change it in the settings

Is there a way to change the colour without the style of the bubble?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] omgtheqbistoast:
Alright folks,

As a Customer Service Associate for a Sprint Preferred Retailer I'm supposed to know it all right? So I feel like a dummy for coming and asking for help from you guys the community, not a true tech issue but related. I've already ordered my LGOG (I got one of only 100 that were made available through our insider channel and now I'm just waiting on it to ship and arrive) but I'm kinda wondering a few things and maybe looking for opinions from the community, so I'll throw out what I wanna know and if you guys could help me out that'd be awesome.

First off, I have a few apps that I know I'm going to HAVE to have to make sure I can not only sell the phone itself but also the Sprint Service as a whole. I haven't ever gotten anything like a benchmark test app before so I need to know what the best benchmark app out there is (to have on hand for people who are REALLY deep techie types who wanna know about benchmark speeds and what not) that's not only easy to understand but not too tough on battery life?

Second, this is a very deep and I'm sure very divisive question but if you guys could give me some of the best pros and cons on the best launchers out there for the Optimus G. Not saying I'm going to go away from the stock one but if I wanted to show off the phone in a different way, what ones would give me the best of just about everything from being able to be customized to not slowing down the phone or draining the battery?

Third, on the flip side from question 1, are there any apps I should be looking into to replace the stock apps (i.e. camera, default SMS app, etc) and are there any that you guys think can really showcase the abilities of the phone as a whole that you would recommend downloading?

In advance I wanna say thanks to any and all of you who choose to answer, I'm new to the Optimus G community, coming over from a Samsung Epic 4g with RandomROM but I look forward to any info or opinions you all can give me.

Thanks again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Ascertion:
Most people prefer to use Quadrant/Antutu to benchmark their devices. These benchmarks have been known to be somewhat inaccurate and not reflect real world usage, but it's enough to satisfy the techie nerds at your store.

I think the best launcher is Nova Launcher, but it completely varies from person to person. Go Launcher EX is also a good one. I haven't played around with the stock launcher on the LG Optimus, yet. So I'm can't comment on that.

Thing is, about question 3, cameras function on both hardware and software. You can have the hardware for a perfect camera, but software can limit you. I've heard HDR camera and camera ZOOM fx are really good and puts your camera on the edge. I would try both of those out (I think Camera FX zoom is a paid app.)

I used the built in WiFi tether in CM10 and T-Mobile hasn't sent me a text yet, but I did only use it once for like 5 minutes so that might be it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eliwood98:
Hello, Sorry if I inadvertently post in the wrong forum.

Anyways, I dropped my phone, hit the ground, glass cracked pretty bad, and the screen itself doesn't come on.

Anyway to get a repair or anything done? I figure the cost of a repair will still be less than new phone.

Google for "S3 screen replacement", you might be amazed.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
I keep hearing that this is not a bargain like the $199 Nexus 7 or $309 Nexus 4 but it really is.

First, you are getting the highest resolution mobile screen EVER. Second, the dual core A15 is the first of its kind if you don't include the chromebook and will not be used in most mobile devices until mid 2013 at least. Third, they managed to make it only 8.9mm thin, something that Apple couldn't do for the new ipad's. Four, it is one of the only 3 devices running Android 4.2. All that for $399.

It is a steal and in some ways even more of a bargain than the other two.

Ignore this post if you are aware, this is for the people that can't see why this is any different than all the other 10 inch Android tablets.
[Nexus 10 General] sabre31:
Sounds good but if no optimized apps for tablets I will wait on the fence still and see what happens if apps look the same on n10 as they do on my note 2 then what's the point.
[Nexus 10 General] SpenZerX:
I have both devices. They are a good combination. But every app on Nexus 10 looks better.
[Nexus 10 General] locoboi187:
For some reason I find myself on my dad's iPad 4 rather than my Nexus 10. Apple is def doing something right.
[Nexus 10 General] jrpbulk:
I have the n7 and the n 10 ipad2 and just sold my galaxy tab 7.7.

Not all apps look better on the N 10. For example the Engadget app does not scale, yet.

Out of all the tablets i have owned the n7 is the best. However I am getting the note 2 on Monday and I suspect it will be my go to device, then the n 10, and finally my laptop.

Another couple of years and they will have finally have a tablet that can be used for work and play, not there yet.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
The point is that the Nexus 10 does web browsing, the main use of a tablet for most, bigger and sharper and has the horse power to push it extremely smoothly.

No one says I have a cell phone, what is the point of a 55 inch TV, my apps look the same on it. Why would anyone say that here?

10 inch is the sweet spot like Steve Jobs said in my opinion. Laptop is too clunky and the Nexus 7 and Note are too small. That is my opinion.
[Nexus 10 General] rookiegenius:
To me, an android phone is the best (love my S3 to death). But for a tablet, iOS is the best. I decided to return my nexus 10 since Im not patient enough. I got frustrated with apps on the nexus 10. Apps do not look good and run well on the nexus for now (this will be fixed, of course). But apps for ipad are also much better. ALso never think more pixels are better. WHat matters is its contrast and color accuracy. More pixels only drain the battery.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

actually apps will look different on the nexus. specificly, they look worse since they haven't been optimized for high resolution screen .. yet
[Nexus 10 General] mrdinosaur:
These arguments are pretty pointless. The notion that there must be a one great almighty device that trumps all seems silly to me. They're both great, just buy which one fits your needs. Its a tablet you use to watch YouTube, its not a big deal.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
There is no denying that the iPad 4 is the best all-around tablet out there - build quality, performance, smoothness, tablications, battery life, everything is cool. I'm buying the Nexus 10 however because:

- better bang for the buck, the $100 it's cheaper can be use for the surely coming keyboard dock

- 16:10 - if you're not watching video content why even go for 10", the AR is a nice compromise between 16:9 and 4:3

- Adobe Flash - be honest, you'll miss live streaming and all the flash-based content, and it's not going away anytime soon, N10 runs it well

- extras: higher res screen, NFC, USB-OTG possibilities (media play without root), front-facing quality speakers, lighter weight
[Nexus 10 General] CreepyDroid:
I don't agree with these two points. I bought a 10 inch tablet mainly for Web browsing. My note 2's size is just fine for videos but not for heavy web browsing.

And the Nexus 10 doesn't support Flash natively, you need to sideload the apk and download a third party browser. On the ipad there are pretty decent Flash-supporting browsers so it's a tie in this area.
[Nexus 10 General] Valynor:
Flash is a dying/dead platform on Android, so no big loss there IMHO. And the sooner it's gone completely, the better it is - Flash had its place but today it's just a bloated and very dangerous piece of crap software.
[Nexus 10 General] pierrekid:
Of course you would make a thread like this lol. The moderators must be getting tired of closing these things...
[Nexus 10 General] Watcher64:
Who gives a flying frack what the app "looks" like!! Does it do what it is supposed to do? Does it do it fast? Do movies look better than just about anything else out there? Is the sound great compared to most tablets? Is the resolution higher than ANY tablet out there?

Personally I am about getting **** done with a tablet, you can have your pretty apps, because I already got my **** done, and ran 17 more apps while you are "oooh'ing and ahh'ing" over how pretty your apps are...

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed here are purely my own, don't expect you to or even care if you agree, move along :good:
[Nexus 10 General] SeanHacker:
you don't have to agree. personal opinions are just that. personal opinions. sideloading or not, i'm not quite sure of the difference. apps are apps. we all use them. so whether or not you have to install an app to get something to work the way we want it doesn't really take anything away from the devices we choose. some cars have ugly rims on them when we buy them from the dealer. we buy and put custom wheels on them. your "point" is moot at this point. but an ipad or buy a nexus 10. who cares. ;)
[Nexus 10 General] mi7chy:
Nexus 10 is so big it doesn't matter how thick it is within reason. Actually, I would've preferred they gave it a bigger battery for longer life unplugged.
[Nexus 10 General] chartig:
Yes Nexus10 is awesome, but I'm a little bit desapointed by Android 4.2 regarding "no flash player" I know the reasons but currently I cannot benefit from web TVs I planned to watch with my new tablet (Orange TV, Canal+, Pluzz...).

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I agree CreepyDroid. I tried to sideload the apk and to use other browsers without success. I would apreciate to read a good step by step link

i am really disappointed from google now! say what ever any body wants to say against me, i dont care cause reality aint gonna change!

i am a Samsung Boy... everything i own is from samsung (electronics ofcourse)

in my point of view, Google is a Huge company, Bigger than Apple. google can produce tablet oriented apps! YES IT CAN! i dont really dont find not more than like 10 apps that are ESPECIALLY made for my tablets! i owned Nexus 7, sold that cause of lag in browser, Now i own NOTE 10.1!

an Excellent Tablet! but No Apps!

when i was in search of good tab i had to choose between iPad 3 and Note 10.1 and i went for Note 10.1 cause i love Google but i AGAIN got disappointed! not from the tablet, but the SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND APP AVAILABILITY!

i am thinking of getting Nexus 10 but i am keeping my self away from the idea of getting it cause of app support!

mark my words, THERE WILL BE NO APPS FOR NEXUS 10 AT LEAST NOT FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 4 MONTHS!

Apple is only better in APP support and software support than google! GOOGLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! WHEN U CAN ACTIVATE MILLIONS OF DEVICES EVERY DAY WHY NOT THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT THEM! DONT TELL ME ITS DIFFICULT FOR GOOGLE! ITS A BILLIONS OF $$ COMPANY!! AND HECK IT HAS SUPPORT OF MONSTER COMPANIES LIKE SAMSUNG, LG, HTC AND OTHERS.....!!!

google is destroying its image in minds of customers like me, who change their gadgets very frequently!

accept it or not dude! u can not deny the reality! SMARTPHONES IS ANDROID THING NOW, TABLETS ARE APPLE THING NOW... and only for the fact of no app and software support!
[Nexus 10 General] fredphoesh:
On the INTERNET, Flash is by far the most popular video format... and until HTML5 has agreed on a format that Chrome Firefox IE Safari Opera etc can agree on, flash video is still the choice for many web designers. If you are interested in seeing that content, you can either get flash a capable browser, or not see the video... crap or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saunakarora:
I had paranoid android installed on my phone running 4.1.2 and it kept crashing sometimes so I decided to go back to cm-10 which i used before but didn't prefer it. I did the exact same things I did last time but this time my phone would just stay at the cm-10 logo and never turn on. I had backup for paranoid android created before i flashed the cm-10 and so I tried restoring but it wouldn't work it my phone would turn off in middle of the restore. I tried that a few times and I just tried to retore the ORIGINAL 4.0 before i rooted my phone and it stopped in middle for that too and my phone just turned off. Idk what to do can anyone PLEASE HELP?? :crying:

I tried factory reset & clear data partition open it would also freeze in middle and turn off.

Also it says this at the bottom when i go to CWM recovery

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log

PLEASE HELP ME CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PHONE RIGHT NOW :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aplastar:
You should try and redownload the ROM and place it at the root of your sdcard

I normally do...

Wipe Data/Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

install zip from sdcard

go to Advanced

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe battery status

Fix permissions (just incase)

Reboot Device

wait about usually 3-8 minutes depends on the ROM. if it's longer then that then your stuck in a boot loop

this is all on done on CWMR v6.0.1.5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saunakarora:
It wouldn't let me. That's the problem, anything I tried to do in recovery mode it would freeze and then turn off. And now it doesn't even go to recovery mode anymore! It just stays black the whole time. any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Grntrenchman:
Last time I had this problem, I had to revert to stock using Odin and download mode.. works great now. It's a big hassle, but it is good to do a full reset every now and then. Then again, had so many problems with cwm that now I'm a twrp only man. That might help too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pradeepjoshua:
Guys i've started this thread to discuss about stock and cm based custom roms

1)which is better in what way

2)battery life

3)gaming performance

4)tweaks available for each

i felt that there is no thread related to this that's why started one
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ramyelbadry:
for battery, stock is the best
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] side_effect:
Stock FTW

Better battery,stable,camera,dialer,music and mms are very good.

Personally I miss tw goodies like integrated task manager button,camera and music player in CM7 so Stock is better for me
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TjBurn:
Yeah stock is stable, but so is cm7.

However, you miss out on the newer features offered in the cm9/ cm10 /aokp/ paranoid android roms.

I'm using PAC by nims11.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 121C4:
The main reason I personally prefer cm7 over stock is multitasking. On stock if I am using one application and switch to another, then switch back, my place is lost and often the first app has been killed and has to restart. That might be why cm7 supposedly uses more battery (I don't notice a difference personally, but I use my phone a lot:D)

I'm also not a fan of touchwiz and prefer the customization of cm7.

I love trying new roms no matter what the android version; 2.3.6, 2.3.7, 4.0 or 4.1

Kudos to all the Dev's working hard to make my old crappy ace awesome!

A little bit battery drain than stock but has more costomization for daily use..also has no bugs.. all the things is working and stable..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Actually our opinions always have a touch of personal experience. Some people use the stock based just the way they are & some people tweak it more. I've seen that the sgs II v10.1 has a great multi tasking capability ( atleast for me...) . Kranti.ace has really brought out a revolution as his name says. His rom is pretty smooth & he's promising further improvisation. What else to expect? Just the devs to bring out the better of what's already best...;)
