Not at the Best Buy I work for. But then again statwise were also one of the "best" Geek Squads in the entire company, and when stuff comes in under our extended and accidental damage warranties they get full service without question.

I just shipped off a Marines 2010 Macbook to our service center last night that took a three story fall in Afghanistan and literally "exploded" when it hit the pavement. Guess what hes getting in about a week? A brand new 2012 Macbook shipped directly to his door with no questions asked. Try getting Apple to do that for you.

Theres a reason we have the extra accidental damage plans and theyre not anything close to a scam. You need to pay close attention and read the terms of the plan. If you just buy a regular extended warranty, its just that. Its an extension of the same stuff the manufacturer covers, which doesnt include cracked screens, water damage, batteries/power supplies, etc. We replace stuff left and right every single day with ours. I cant even imagine how many shattered pieces of iCrap and other cellphones we replace in a year for people.

I ended up going with the Walmart plan. I just registered it online and confirmed that for 28$ I am covered from 11/25/2012-11/25/2014

Also confirmed that it covers from cracks spills drops outages surges and battery. Let's hope I don't have to use it.

How do I know what version I have c70/80 I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it

Thanks for all your help

I do not know about staples. But Walmart took great care of my on a tv.. The tv had a popping issue about 13 months into owning the tv. It was Panasonic very nice tv.. After a cable box update the tv started popping when connected to hdmi cable. It would make the noise switching from a hdmi port to the tv apps like netflix.. Sometimes the tv would reboot.. Walmart replaced the board in the tv. It did not fix it . They refunded me all of my money.. Two days later the repair shop called tell me they found a fix. they told me where to download the firmware for the tv.. I did so.. Called Walmart back and was told to keep the tv and the money..

So thats my walmart warranty story.. I did go to walmart and buy a new tv and put that 50inch in my sons bedroom for his video games..

I have square trade warranty on my nexus...

I ALWAYS use SquareTrade to warranty any device I have...so easy to deal with & offer very fast turnarounds. Price would have been $29 for 2 yrs coverage & accidents.

[Nexus 7 General] eddie3130:
I have walmarts ins. On my 7. Costed $28. They cover anything thats not covered by the manufacturer. Except theft or lost items. An if rite before the date it runs out if you break it an they dont carry that model anymore theyll just give you a gift card with the same value. Wich you can just use towards the next thing out at that time. Cant beat that. Also have it on my Vaio i bought there. Even the lady in electronics told me herself that i can just throw it against the wall rite before it expires an il get a fresh one or Credit for another one. Hahah
[Nexus 7 General] wavrunrx:
this is insurance fraud.

it is things like this that raise the price of extended warranty coverage for everyone else.

shame on you.
[Nexus 7 General] mchief298:
Eeyup, hit the nail on the head here. I also used to think that things like this were just a franchise's way of getting more money out of you. Then I saw the Black Tie *Now known as Geek Squad Protection (GSP)* in action, and was surprised at how effective it really is. As long as you don't drown your device or shoot it, they'll pretty much repair or replace the device. Sure, they're a little costly, varying from item to item, but well worth the buy if you have any doubts about how well the device will be taken care of.

[Nexus 7 General] Slavestate:
I do know that if you drown it they wont replace it but ive replaced stuff like a laptop that was left on the trunk of a car when the client drove away hehe.

Just to clarify this is the GSP ADH (accidental damage and handling) plan were talking about, not the cheaper regular GSP which is basically just an extended warranty.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] robl45:
looking to get something similar to the below for my wife but she probably isn't going to be crazy for the color. Anyone seen anything like this reasonably priced in different colors? My main thing is the raised lip on the front to protect the screen. She already broker her epic 4g screen and she isn't very careful with her phones. They always find their way into the hands of my 1 1/2 and 3 1/2.

I bought my wife the ballistic SG (Regular version Not maxx) in black with hot pink. Great looking case and great protection over all. Payed close to $17 on ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robl45:
not bad, I could get it in blue for her if she wants. How is the lip on the front, will it protect the phone decently?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
has plenty of lip.. of course if it falls face on a raised object no case is gonna protect that lol. If she needs even more protection than look into the ballistic sg MAXX. But imo its too bulky, thats just me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robl45:
yea, at least when the kids are tossing it off the couch onto the marble floor, it will stand a chance. That happened this morning multiple times, she really doesn't take care of her phones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
that sucks. the sg series is good like i said. It for drop protection. the sg max has few different things like screen cover, port covers, chunkier corner bumpers, and a belt clip
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Speedin07si:
Ha your better then me, I just bought my wife the gs3 a few days ago and told her she had no choice. It's either otterbox defender, trident kraken, ballistic sg maxx, or I just saw Griffin Technology has released their Survivor case for the gs3.

Or she can get a dumb phone like her old BlackBerry.

My wife is accident prone when it comes to phone + our 18 month old likes to try and eat cell phones.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
Too much of a lip can be a problem. At least for me. You lose quite a bit of area around the sides of the screen, where your fingers can touch. For me that's especially a problem at the bottom since the back and menu keys on the S3 are only touch sensitive close to the edge of the phone.

I do find it important to have a lip to protect the screen from scratches, when I put put it screen down on a table, just not one too big. I don't have a problem with the case I'm using. Maybe it won't offer as much protection as the one you linked but it does a good job and it doesn't make me hate to use my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fangstien:
Is there an online version of the kitchen? I ask because it is the last resort to get a fully functional Rom on my evo before I allow my daughter to have it other than using my nandroid of my original and unrooting.

I use a 64-bit system Windows 7. Done research and it says a 32-bit Java will work but that is false. I have spent from 9am until an hour ago (3:30pm here now) formating my hard-drive and reinstalled my OS because it didn't work. Still the kitchen doesn't find Java although I tried to instal a 32-bit version. Online is the only way I can do anything or I need a step-by-step on what I need to do to an apk where I can do it on my phone or I am in need of someone building a Rom. So.....is there one online?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
What are you doing? Making a fully functional ROM? Why not take a stock rooted or a working GB ROM like reloaded?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy78:
Yea just get a stock 5.07 rooted rom. Not really sure what you're trying to do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fangstien:
I am letting my daughter have my Evo. She has been hardcore blackBerry but given their status she is wanting to try Android. I have flashed every Rom on the first 10 pages of Development and what she has settled on as far as wanting most is Energy Rom. There are 3 problems stopping her from being totally happy with it. First is the 9016. After a lot of searching all I can find is it is tied to the Phone.apk. I have been unsuccessful at changing it out. The carousel shows only a grey screen when looking in Personalize but have been unsuccessful at getting the one from Mik3D installed and working since I know the one from that Rom works. The browser not going to mobile view and being to wide unless in landscape has been the only thing I have fixed. i used Root Explorer and deleted it and moved a basic stock in. Somehow it worked although the other things haven't. I had decided to try my hand at the kitchen to see if I could make the changes that way but it doesn't work on my PC regardless of what i try and believe me when I say I have taken extreme measures to make it work. So my hopes are that either someone can point me in the right direction on how to exchange an apk using only what tools I can find for my phone or in the direction of a kitchen online. For my phone I have installed: Root Explorer,File Manager and ZipSign2.

Even she is smart enough to know the first flip phone I ever purchased from Sprint way back when they finally got small enough to fit in your pocket is still better than the best Apple ever released.

However,with a little help I think I can make my life easier. I flashed Derp3D again and only 2 small things needed. First is the keyboard. How do I get the HTC back on and with dictionary? Last is how do I get the weather widget with sound? Those are the only things needed. Themes will be easy enough to handle.

+1 on jellybread..its worth a flash..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
The kitchen won't help you for fixing the things you want to fix )besides the fact that there isn't an online version). The kitchen just essentially makes it easier to do the things you're already doing. But EnergyROm is a Sense 3.5 ROM, which is not what the EVO natively comes with. So, there will ALWAYS be issues with it, like the VVM 9016 texts, no 4G, etc. And trying to swap things in from a Sense 3.0 ROM (Mik3D) will only cause more issues. I think you're going to have to "put your foot down" and let your daughter know she can either have a fully functional ROM that doesn't look exactly as she wants, or she can have the eye candy she wants without full functionality.

There are plenty of fully functional ROMs out there with a Sprint base that don't have the 9016 issue. Honestly, those all seem to be extremely minor issues to me. Sounds like you should just bite the bullet and get her an EVO LTE, lol.

I have seen a lot of good reviews of Kendall's ROM, though. But I'm going to assume that's not what your daughter is looking for. Sounds like she likes the look/widgets of Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiplashh:
I remember back in the day I tried a sense 3.0 rom that didn't do the 9016 or whatever, but I don't see how that bugs her. Its just a text message that would only take 2 seconds to delete. When I ran those roms, it wasn't a big deal to me.

With the sense weather part, still didn't have a problem with that either. Just had to turn sound up.

Hey guys,

I need to record my screen, showing a live video of the usage of a myself created website. I need to show the Android screen version.

I bought Screencast screen recorder, which needs SU to record.

So I recorded it all.. but after recording and opening the recording.. I only see the boot screen. Nothing of my screen was recorded. Somehow it recorded the bootscreen.

Anyone a suggestion?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobykeegan:
Hey everybody,

I am here to ask the much dreaded question. How can I root my DHD? I don't really want to use AAHK and downgrade my firmware, I need a 2.3.5 root please. By the way I have woven through many forums, so none of those "search before you ask" posts. After all, forums are for asking questions. Many thanks

P.S I am a new member, so bear with me :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Forums are for asking new questions, but they are not for asking questions that have been asked and answered many times previously, like this one. With that said, I can believe that you have at least searched a bit and just not found what you're looking for, since the only other solution is significantly less popular (for good reason). So: you can use HTCDEV to unlock the bootloader. It give you fewer ROM options (you can only flash ROMs intended for your phone, not ported ROMs), and you need to flash the boot.img from your computer each time you flash a ROM. (Those restrictions are the reasons why HTCDEV is less popular than AAHK; I usually recommend AAHK.) Why don't you want to downgrade using AAHK?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usman_fareed:
first try this software http://www.unlockroot.com/ if it didnt work then use aahk
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
There is no way to gain S-OFF and root without downgrading. That is why the Hack Kit does that. SuperOneClick, unlockroot and other stuff wont work in your device.

The other choice is to unlock the bootloader as bananagranola said, but that wont give you total control of your device nor root.

What you can do, is after running the Hack Kit, flash a 2.3.5 custom rom that you like, but that is of course your call.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiCk.JaY:
Why don't you just downgrade and root? I did the same way
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobykeegan:
OK guys, I guess AAHK is the way forward. It won't wipe my data will it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruemi:
Sadly, it will wipe your data during the downgrade process. There seems to be no way around it :(

But aahk is quite save and will tell you before it destroys any data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
The only chance that I see, is that run zergrush or tacoroot to gain temp root and then back up your stuff, then downgrade and root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILA:
Finaly a question that I need an answer to... Ok, I actually want to use the aahk, but my waranty is still valid so I wish to make a backup of my stock ROM so I could unROOT if something goes wrong in the future... Now, the aahk will downgrade my phone and thous not give me a chance to backup mu current ROM... Is there any way I could back it up somehow?

Here's how it was:

I downloaded PA, started ROM Manager, went to flash my device and when it should go to recovery, well, it didn't. This was the screen I saw.

Restarted my phone, pulled up ROM Manager again and when I tried to fix permissions, I saw this:

Hi,

I am currently trying to open a KML file from my application to view a tour of point locations.

I am creating this KML on a webservice and passing this to the device, then save the string to a file locally with kml extension.

The problem is that when I pass this KML file to Google Earth app it returns a 'Not Found :" error after the google earth app opens.

I am opening the app using the following snippet:

if(file.exists())

{

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml");

ntent.putExtra("com.google.earth.EXTRA.tour_feature_id", "flight");

startActivity(intent);

}

If I browse with Astro to the file location and click on it the Google Earth app will load the tour and start playing!

Any ideas or anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks!

For some reason, I can't connect to data anymore in LTE/CDMA mode. I recently went back to visit my folks in the Bay Area and was in a fringe area where LTE was active. I tried putting the phone into LTE mode only to try to maintain the connection, but have since changed back to the default setting.

Now I can only connect to data when I set the data mode to CDMA Mode only. I tried updating profile, PRL, wiping caches, and even restoring an old back up with no luck. Anyone ever have this problem?

The 3G icon is on in LTE/CDMA mode, but I can't open any webpages.

My wife's iPhone 4s connects just fine in the same areas.

That's the biggest bunch of Sprint crap i ever heard. I was talking with Sprint today for over an hour and a half about this bull crap. a couple days ago i got a error 67 code on my HTC EVO (og, i went back to it because of this issue). Yesterday I switched back to my EVO LTE. I still got the error code. They said to wait for an hour for it to get its mobile network. I waited all night and still nothing. this morning. i contacted Sprint. The lady tried for over an hour, resetting everything known to man kind

we did the ##3282# and reset everything. We Changed and reste everything on the phone. activated my old EVO and back to the new EVO and still nothing.

I am sick of Sprint saying this is a tower issue. If by some miracle it is, disable the towers LTE until you are done with everything. I know this isn't effecting everyone but your pissing a lot of people off with this crap. At least just replace the phones that are not working.

anyone know what CDMA HDR stands for?
