Movie Twist is a very cool Android app that basically suggests movie based on your mood.

The app is extremely simple. Basically, you tell the app what your mood is and it will suggests you movies. Now, you can sort your suggestions based on tags and ELEMENTS.

Lets say you want a movie that is filled with horror but NO violence. You just select the HORROR bar ...move it to the RIGHT and move the VIOLENCE bar all the way to the left. It really is that SIMPLE.

lol.. I heard theres an app that can tell count your heart beats and then tell your mood.

I don't remember the name but I know its out there!

So I've been looking for an app that supports hierarchical note taking, but i haven't found anything that really meets my needs. What i was hoping for was something like keynote, which i used to use with windows, or (god forbid) onenote. Preferably open source, and not requiring shady, intrusive permissions. Encryption is always nice.

Any suggestions? Seems like this short of software would be exceedingly common on a mobile platform. Somebody has to have something trustworthy that they use.

Notelynx Outliner. It can be found on Google Play. There is also a pro version available with additional features.

I've used quite a few of the different note apps but I always come back to Google drive. Easily accessible from any computer and printable.

Hey,

I have a razr i xt890 and i really needs it running Adobe Air but in market it says that my device isnt supported and if i tries to install an adobe air apk, it always says it is with "corrupted packages", dont matter where i did get the file. Anyone with a solution? Maybe some way to force an install?

Thanks in advice

File explorer such as es explorer (free to get in market) browse to where you have the adobe air apk and copy, browse to the /data partition (you have to go right out to the root of your phone) copy to /data/app and paste the apk, long hold, scroll to properties , then you will see a change button beside permissions , change to same as scree shot

I've run into quite the problem with my AT&T Galaxy S3. It seems my file system has structure has changed and my internal sd card has been wiped. If I try to install a new ROM via CWM, I get the file choices, 0, legacy & obb...none of which have my rom in it.

I have tried to flash a new ROM via ODIN but it always gets stuck at the aboot.xxx portion of the flashing process (attempting to flash the stock room...just using pda in ODIN). I searched other forums and they suggested finding a firmware with PIT file so that I can repartition the S3.

All the firmwares I have downloaded contain a single file that goes in the PDA part of ODIN. Does anyone have any links to firmware zips that contain the PIT file? My phone doesn't boot past the Samsung bootscreen.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

How exactly did you fix it? I am having a strange issue, where the phone will not boot and in recovery everything fails to mount ex: "e: cannot mount \cache" and so on. I've flashed a few different stock restores with no avail, and I think that the partitions are jacked.

[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Hi Guys,

Recently my HTC One X's screen has stopped working, it remains black and won't turn on although I know the phone is still on.

However, I was on a custom rom so I relocked my bootloader and flashed an RUU before sending it in for warranty repair.

Three UK (my network provider) says that my phone is not under warranty and the cost of repair is:

'Quote 76.59, HANDSET NON GENIUNE SW F400 FLAG BY DIAGNOSTICS BOOTLOADER RELOCKED'

I am a student in the UK with not a lot of money, so I cannot afford to pay this cost :(

However I am pretty sure that the display not working is a hardware fault, and as such has nothing to do with the bootloader which is software-based. In addition, I have used the phone for less than 12 months, so it should still be under warranty.

I have also read this thread which says that other people in the UK got their phone repaired after unlocking the bootloader, so I am a bit disappointed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928479

Please could you guys tell me what I should do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] BenPope:
If Three provided the phone they have a legal obligation to repair or replace it.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thank you for the information sir!

However they are charging me for this, is that illegal? In addition, I would like to ask whether I have actually broken my warranty by unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I don't know if it's illegal to charge you.

I will say they have a legal obligation under consumer law to provide a phone free from defects for a reasonable amount of time. Reasonable would be at least the term of the contract.

It seems unfair to charge you just because the bootloader was relocked, I think they should at least try to determine that that was the cause (which is unlikely).

IANAL.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks, in the forum that I quoted one guy said 'they are happy to repair unlocked phones as long as its a genuine hardware fault'.

I will contact Three and quote this to them, and ask them to prove that it was a hardware fault, but if they still deny my warranty, how should I proceed? Should I quote my statutory rights (I don't really understand what this means but I understand that since I'm in the UK this should help)?

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] leonforthewin:
The Sales of Goods and Sales of Goods and Services acts both prescribe that retailers must prove to you that you caused the damage – this is only valid for 6 months after the purchase period but I would just proceed with that line regardless of the time limit.

Technically after 6 months, If you feel you have the proof that you did not cause the issue then proceed onto telling them why. Reassure them they have a legal obligation to the 3 R's, repair, replace or refund. Finally ask them for their final position on the matter "because I (you) need that to take it up with the associated ombudsmen."

Remember that politeness and persistence is enough for most people to give in.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

The thing I am scared about however is that since most of Customer Service won't understand this, they will connect their superiors, possibly a manager, who will understand everything that is going on. Then, I don't know if I will have a shot with convincing him.

My official contract with my HTC One X started exactly one day short of six months ago, but Three sent me the HTC One X a few weeks before that, so I have had my HTC One X for more than six months :(. Will this still count as within six months?

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
I called the repair centre and they said that apparently they have to replace the motherboard, even though the problem is with the display. I argued with them about the Sales of Goods act but they said they are working for the manufacturer (HTC) and they have to repair all faults on the phone, and apparently the locked bootloader is one problem.

Please could you tell me what I should do?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Any stipulations by the manufacturer to the retailer is simply not your problem.

[HTC One X] Maximus78:
The same happened with me, Three want to charge me £76 to repair due to what they called illegal software being loaded. So when I picked up my phone I got a letter stating that a circuit board had been replaced. In fact they just gave me a brand new phone instead. Why would you quote for a repair and then give the customer a whole new phone? I smell something here.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks man, you are awesome! But should I take this up with the seller, i.e. Three UK, and not the repair centre? Because the lady at the repair centre was extremely stubborn and said that since they were working for the repair centre, she had to replace the motherboard as HTC requires them to fix everything that is broken with the phone. What should I do in this situation?

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Did you end up paying them the £76 or did you manage to get them to waive the charges? And yes, I completely agree but apparently they have to fix everything that is broken with the phone, even though a relocked bootloader is not a problem.
[HTC One X] leonforthewin:
Sorry for clarification, generally the Sales of Goods Act applies only when you buy a product outright ie. buy the phone from phones4u or online etc. The Sales of Goods and Services act applies when you sign up for a credit agreement/service contract with a phone. However they both protect you in the same way.

The acts protect you with the retailer/the place of purchase. Your argument is with Three (3) and long as they accept fault with the device you are in the clear. Contrary to popular belief 'warranties' can be somewhat useless most of the time, it's your legal rights as a consumer that count.

The fact that you're a week over the 6 month period of 'proof' isn't the big issue here so don't worry about that.

To be really honest all people who flash their phones should fork out for comprehensive phone insurance. My insurance replaces my phone the very next day before 11am if I am ever to lose it.

Back onto your real issue; unlocking the bootloader does not cause the screen to become faulty, neither does installing custom firmware. I cannot provide proof of this however I'm sure that one of out super experienced XDA members can confirm it.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks, but I'm a bit confused over one thing. In the link provided (http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu) it states that:

But I would like to ask what the statutory warranty and the compulsory warranty are? Also, by unlocking the bootloader am I voiding the voluntary warranty or the statutory warranty?

Thanks,

DarkEddy
[HTC One X] leonforthewin:
Your UK/EU statutory warranty also known as general consumer rights and sales of goods act etc is king.

Theres not a single retailer that doesn't offer their own warranty but in my opinion they are just diversion tactics because EU/UK law is in some cases much better.

Try not to confuse EU/UK consumer rights, they are essentially one and the same. If I'm not mistaken the UK has always been good at protecting its consumers!
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Ok, thanks, so the statutory warranty is the general consumer rights, but can I ask what the compulsory warranty is?

Thank you so much for your help!
[HTC One X] leonforthewin:
Statutory rights are compulsory - same thing. If its not I think you are going into too much detail. Try not to go into it too much.

Stick with your UK/EU statutory rights, they act as your compulsory warranty! I hope that makes sense?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes, you need to take it up with your retailer.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
I just lol'd when Reading their reason code.

Illegal software bootloader relocked

Wtf the fact that it boots with relocked bootloader means it's running official software

Unless they can prove that your illegal software caused the damage which they can't because its not running it anymore then they are obliged to treat it as stock
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Ok, thanks! I'll see how it goes when the Three Complaints team call me back :)
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Ok, thanks :)
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
I called Three Customer service and they gave me some bull**** excuse from some clueless call centre worker about it being physical damage, so I am going to be contacted by the Three Complaints Team.

BTW ur connection is awesome! 0MS!
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
I'm hoping for more updates on your situation. They haven't charged me yet until my next bill but I will be ringing 3 customer service and ask them for proof that my unlocked bootloader was the root cause of the fault.

Oh and I should say that my phone went into apx mode that I couldn't access bootloader. Drivers did not recognize the phone too. Three told me they couldn't flash to my old phone due to illegal software. So they sent me a brand new one, not my old one with a new motherboard. And a letter saying they fixed it!
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Status Update that confuses me:

Letter from Three UK, received today, states that cost is due to physical damage.

Repair tracker on three UK website says that cost is due to bootloader being relocked.

Repair company says that cost is due to bootloader being relocked.

Does this prove that Three is conning me?
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Lucky you, hopefully you didn't get charged £76!

I know that three is giving me some crap reasons, because first they say the problem is bootloader being relocked, and now its physical damage, there are no signs of physical damage that I'm aware of as I keep my phone in a case.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
I completely agree with you, the purpose of large TNCs like HTC is just to earn money :( Quick at taking your money, not so easy for them to lose money

Congratulations on your achievement! Was it the Sale of Goods Act that finally convinced them to send you a replacement?

I think I might send a complaint letter as well, but how long did it take them to reply to your letter? And did you actually send the letter to CISAS as well?
[HTC One X] n1kos:
i guess it was the Sale of Goods Act and also the fact that i asked them to cancel my contract and let me go.

At the end of the day it wasnt about the phone or the money for me , its the principles of selling you faulty items and they take no responsibility.... F.U. HTC!

i hope you sort your issue and dont have to pay a penny <3
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks man, do you mind if I send a letter similar to yours? It has a strong argument and succeeded for you.

BTW have you received your replacement phone?

The blank screen is apparently a known problem. And yep **** HTC I'm going with Samsung on my next contract or the Ubuntu phone http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/2/3827922/ubuntu-phone-os-announcement
[HTC One X] n1kos:
feel free to use the letter, that's y i posted it in case someone finds it helpful. my replacement is coming tomorrow morning so i'll keep you updated when it arrives. hoope its an htc one x and not any other crap phone...we shall see lol
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks man you're awesome. Fingers crossed for you! BTW did you ever talk about the HTC One X issue with the ever useless customer service call centres?
[HTC One X] n1kos:
hehe, i tried 3-4 times the tmobile store that i had returned the phone, they werent helpful at all, then tried through facebook and twitter and customer servive, all appalling.....

Then i realized that the last option was to sent the letter to the complains department and see what happens. I was thinking also to use the small claims court but no needed anymore. if u send a complain letter to 3 dont forget to send it registered so u have proof that they got it.

forgot to tell you that i didnt send the complaint letter CISAS or HTC, and it took them 2 weeks to reply, tho it was christmas and i was expecting small delay...
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
You may want to include this in your letter.

There is physical damage to your screen. Not caused by you which should be covered under warranty

They are providing misleading information to you by telling you one thing, then telling the repair company something else.

All in all this is a common hardware fault not caused by illegal software. And your device is not running any illegal software at the point that it is in their possession so unless they can prove that you caused the damage, they don't have a leg to stand on.

Usually you should get sorted by contacting a companies complaints department
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I'm not gonna quote you guys individually but I will say this.

The guy with the letter saying the liquid indicator is red means nothing. I mean, red is generally considered bad, but also, red might mean normal. Wtf?

Also, having your "HTC warranty" invalidated is irrelevant, EU statutary rights overrule warranty. It's like, you can't tell somebody that it's ok to murder you, statutory rights prevail. You can't relinquish your rights, even by ticking a box.

Hardware faults are the responsibility of the retailer (not the manufacturer), so hit up your retailer, don't hit up HTC.

In Hong Kong I bought my phone from HTC, but AFAIK, there are no HTC retail shops in EU.

[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Just got contacted by the Three complaints team, and apparently my warranty is voided because of illegal software. I quoted the General Sales of Goods Act but he said that nevertheless my warranty was still void, he also said that Three didn't have their own repair centre so they have to send it to HTC, I think that's where the manufacturer warranty is actually voided.

Can I check with you guys whether sending an email to Three's CEO office is viable?

Just one last time, the Sales of Goods Act states that illegal software doesn't void the warranty right?

Plus the guy on the phone agreed that it was a hardware fault...
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Well done n1kos! You are my hero
[HTC One X] obsydian:
Just go into a 3 store, ask to see a HOX, give them yours with a note saying your happy to swap back (with some legal statutory rights stuff) and off you go.
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
I have a feeling that wouldn't go down too well, I'm appalling at publicly speaking. Have u done that though?
[HTC One X] huxleypig:
A Manufacturers warranty is actually irrelevant. Contrary to belief a Manufacturer does not have to offer a warranty of any kind they just do as an accepted service.

This is where the sale of goods act and the phrase inherent fault come in useful the phone must be fit for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time. The 12 months manufacturers warranty would probably not be considered reasonable actually in a court. Washing machines for example are expected to last 5 years as are TV's

The screens on some HOX are faulty at the point of manufacture This is pretty well documented and you would have very little problem proving that.

The onus is on the supplier to prove that the fault was caused by you with a full engineers report not simply a tick in a box.

HTC do not come into this issue in the UK either since your contract is with the company you bought the phone from not HTC. It makes no difference what HTC say to them as you are covered under UK and European consumer law. Not the whims of HTC .
[HTC One X] DarkyHero:
Thanks, could you please tell me where you found the HTC Screen problem documented?

I have this letter planned out.

Could you please tell me what else I should write to make a convincing argument?

Should I write that the bootloader cannot have destroyed the screen? Their sole argument against me is that relocked bootloader voids warranty

Thanks,

DarkyHero

Sorry for barging in...i have another problem regarding HTC warranty void in my country....i have cid_44, H-BOOT 1.36, Jelly Bean, stocked all, unroot, Relocked....this is the state when im sending it to warranty center...before i got my phone it was in ICS..and updated to JB using JBFWTOOL21...so because of this i cant downgrade back to ICS...but because i want to send for claiming warranty, i have flashed using my RUU and all back to stock and also unlocked it....after that i got a call from the warranty center that claiming i have rooted my device so my warranty is void because of this...what confusing me is, i have follow all the method to go back to stock and it work and i also formated all my internal memory...but how could they know i have rooted my device....can any developer or anyone tell me is there a trace for unlocking the bootloder in HTC because i do it using HTC DEV method....if it does, then it useless for restoring back to stock if HTC already know about it.....i hope anyone can give a highlight to me on this.....tq

I have send it, and i have a call from them that my warranty is void because i have rooted my phone...i think the problem is in what i heard....when the HOX is factory state...the bootloader said LOCKED...when you relocked it it says RELOCKED...i think this is how they know and voided the warranty...can the bootloader from RELOCKED change to LOCKED....i hope anyone with knowledge can give some pointer...tq
