In the slimbean install instructions it suggests performing a "full wipe" then manual format. If you have all your settings and data on the /data partition what is the best way to restore your settings? Is there a way to do it in nandroid somewhere? or do you have to use a separate backup like Titanium?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raphael Desire Z:
Ok now i recently traded my BB 9300 for a HTC Desire Z, I was told that it had ICS on it but the person tried to flash it and it's stock in a boot loop )but i didn't make a fuss because the body of my BB9300 was not in a very good state ) The problem is that it loads to white background with HTC logo, then it cuts off and i'll have to battery pull in order to start it up again. Now when i press and hold volume down with power button for the fastboot menu it starts to load from sd card then it says pc10img.zip no image, idk what to do about this again i tried reading all sorts of forums and no help...

e.g: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2212860 (no help, I already have S-OFF i just want to get my phone to work )

P.s - recovery doesn't work neither does the factory restore settings....

i've READ A TON OF FORUMS but none of those methods seem to work... when i try to flash/ boot/ recovery from sd card i get the no image thing when i try from the pc i get this- FAILED <remote:not allowed>

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickslife89:
My HTC has major build quilty issues. The power button is flush with the top making turning on the phone annoying as hell and one side of the gaples construction has a huge gap on my screen! Ugggg. Can't trade it in at att since I'm pass 14 days and now its getting anoyying.

My question is... How is HTC with their warranty system? Do I just send my phone in to them? Are they good with sending me back a decent unit.. Will it be a new one or mine fixed? I don't see how they can open these phones without heat guns lol. And how long did it take?

Thanks guys!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
AT&T will trade it out for you. You bought it from them so it goes back to them. You can send it to HTC but you will be without a phone for 10 days or longer. They are sending out replacement units I have not heard of them repairing a unit. But as I said if it's AT&T branded take it back to the store and get another one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickslife89:
I've tried I'm pass the 14 days they keep saying there is nothing they can do
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
I would get a manager. They are responsible for the warranty for 1 years time. The gaps in the gapless construction is a warranty issue. You may need to just call into AT&T and they will get you a replacement sent to your house.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LettuceFace:
Hello all,

I've done a lot of searching through the forums and elsewhere trying to get the Treve mod tethering mod to work on my newly rooted phone. Got the ICS/JB (wlan0), wifi encryption (13 letters long), wifi driver reload 1 enabled, 2 disabled, mss clamping enabled and routing fix enabled. Earlier it was running but really slowly (under 1mbps up/down on my laptop while getting upwards of 12 mbps up and 7 mbps down on the phone). I uninstalled and tried previous versions. I've since reinstalled the treve mod (after uninstalling the other versions) and now when I start the tether it doesn't change from 0 up/down. Not really sure what else to do.

Just got the phone a few days ago, have rooted and flashed the Viper Rom. Any other information that would be valuable to anyone who could help? Thoughts on who I might reach out to to get this resolved? Thanks all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
Maybe it has something to do with your PC and not necessarily with your ONE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LettuceFace:
Well on my phone's wifi tether screen (where you can press the "Press to start tethering" and then it shows you the speed) both my download and upload sit at 0.0 kbps. Despite the fact that I just spent the past 4 hours watching a high quality Twitch stream with minor hiccups, my 4g indicator in the top bar is on w/ full reception and I was just able to surf reddit.

I mean, I'm expecting that I'm doing something wrong. Everyone else seems to be having no trouble with their tether. I just don't really know what else to change/where else to look.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LettuceFace:
Well for some reason it's starting to perform better. I reinstalled it and haven't touched any of the settings and it's working well. still about a quarter of the speed I get on my phone but certainly better than nothing. I will update here if anything else changes.

Yep thanks to @BarryH_GEG for pointing this out.

Only time will tell during the reshoot. My daily is the Optimus G Pro so either way that will lose. I do think the HTC One will edge out the GS4, but this should narrow the gap.

All of these phones are great. One just has to choose what is important to them.

I don't frequent the HTC One forum so I didn't see that thread. I was simply perusing around youtube for GS4 videos and saw the one above.

I also saw this one as well that I figured I'd share:

I would imagine it is okay because they are posted in different sections. The way XDA is setup, I don't think there is as much cross board traffic as with other sites.

This might give us the opportunity to hear from pro GS4 consumers vs pro One consumers.

anyone know how to deal with these people ?

Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
I understand you and i also think that it's abnormal that warranty is off when you unlock your tf700 if the issue is not hardware related, and it's also abnormal that we must unlock and install another rom to have good performance of our tab.

But at same time, the rules are not hidden by Asus and they are known by everybody : unlocking is a no go for warranty. You did unlock ? That was your choice, not Asus. It's a bit too easy to put responsability on other for your own decision.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It really depends on where you live: I recently linked to an article explaining that in the European Union you cannot be excluded from hardware-related warranty claims just by modifying the software. I cannot vouch for other countries and/or continents. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] CiaronDarcOne:
But you would have agreed to these terms when you unlocked your device. It's not the fairest system to begin with, no, but you signed your warranty away when you unlocked the bootloader. It was all there in the print plain to see. Hate to be blunt, but you can't complain about it after something goes wrong. It's not taking responsibility and it seems a lot of people do that on here. A manufacturer fault turns up and they question why it is the way it is when they knew the way it was when they could have prevented it.

As I said, not saying it's fair. But it is what it is. They're immovable. They have a contract with you so they won't budge if they can get $$$ out of you.

Unless....

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

This works. Has ASUS obided by this in any cases?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Not that I know of at this point in time, but the case has been brought to a close only a short while ago (in the Netherlands). It might take a while.

The downside to this is that manufacturers may decide to permlock the bootloader -- it will take a new round of lawyer mud fights to decide if that is legally acceptable or not. Again, this discussion only applies to the European Union, and ostentatiously NOT to the US of A! Things are quite different on that side of the large pond (possibly unfortunately).

In relation to your first point, and as I posted in the thread I started on this: you cannot sigh away your legal rights by contract with a third party when that right has been secured by law. You cannot sign a document saying someone will pay you a million dollars if only you let him lock you up for a year wothout you being able to get if you so desire: incarceration is the sole privilege of the state when endorsed by law/jurisprudence; you can't sell your daughter or son (or your mother-in-law ;) ) by contract: human trafficking is forbidden by law; etcetera, etcetera.

I wouldn't be surprised if ASUS still takes the stand that your warranty would have been voided by you unlocking the bootloader, but in essence you bought a device, you are free to do with it as you please. Ever bought a kitchen knife? Signed a contract promising not to stab anyone with it? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I don't think that there is much to be done here. When you unlocked the bootloader, you officially forfeited your warranty (coverage from both software and hardware defects). From a legal point of view, it is reasonable for ASUS to reject your warranty claim. It is an unfair system, but since we can't change the rules, we unfortunately have to follow them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I don't get how people can think it's that absurd. If you open up ANY device, hard-or-software based, you break the seal and void the warranty. This has been the case for decades.

If you modify your Xbox software, you void the warranty. If you open up your pre-build computer or install a different version of Windows, you void the warranty. If you modify your car, you void the warranty. The difference is that Asus warns you as you do it, and everyone else puts it in the EULA which nobody reads. Have you ever read that agreement which you click 'yes I have read' on without reading? It always says the exact same thing.

I'm sorry, but voided warranty is voided warranty. It doesn't merely apply to half of the device. They didn't specify "You will void your software warranty only", the agreement concerned your entire warranty. You signed it, you agreed to it.

It has been a legal practise for many, many years. Heck my old Sony Walkman had a plastic sticker on the rim saying "if seal is broken, warranty is void." The EU has simply decided to modify the laws to fit this century. Sadly, every major non-EU company ignores the EU. Instead of the "Your warranty is void, these are the costs", they simply give you "These are the administrative costs."
[Asus Transformer TF700] masvino:
Let's make it clear, that an unlock has nothing to do with the HARDWARE of the device being defective. I thought the law already applied to this on cell phones, and they overturned the cell phones rules, regarding that the company can not make you use the software on the phone, and you can apply your own software, while still retaining the warranty of the hardware. Doesn't this precedent apply ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
In fact, unlocking is doing nothing to hardware, it's only software modification, you are right about that. But the problem is that this software modification allows you to do other modifications that may break your hardware. For example you could have overclocked your tab's cpu/gpu and you cpu/gpu has heated too much and is now broken. This is an example, i am not saying you did that. Only saying that unlocking may allow the tab user to harm its hardware, and that's why unlocking voids your warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dee Envy:
The Asus rules were right on the warning screen before you pushed the unlock button.

Sorry to say is the only way for them to honor a hardware issue after you locked it is to take them to court and have their rules changed, even if the rules as they stand are right or not.

It is unfair but they have more money for lawyers than we do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I'm not aware of a cell phone OEM that will let you unlock the device and keep the warranty. Are you referring to U.S. law or another country? It may be rooting the device no longer voids warranty. I've done that to my phone and TF700 without fear of warranty loss.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It's specific to the European Union, as I've already said above.

I also agree that they probably will not comply with these rules unless forced to in a court of law.

And [MENTION=3264549]ShadowLea[/MENTION]:

As you already point out here -- and I think that's the sore point -- your old Sony Walkman put forward a voided warranty label because you cannot repair it yourself (according to Sony) and have nothing to do in there. The same goes for the inside of the TF700, with which we have no business. However... the software side of things was a non-issue on your Walkman, whereas it is the main issue of the rooting/jailbreaking/unlocked bootloader 'controversy'.

You rightly state that the companies just stick to the old-law values and practices, and screw the customer over in the process.

As far as the comments above with regards to ASUS clearly stating that you void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader -- and I'll say it again and again till it sinks in: in the European Union this is probably against the law. No one can make you sign anything that is extrajudicial and hold it against you in whatever scenario.
[Asus Transformer TF700] masvino:
Forgive me, but, I was given the device by a third party as a GIFT. I did not sign anything. If so, ASUS, must show I signed anything agreeing with any terms of the warranty. ASUS, show me my signature! The cable input I/O as they call it is broken, it has nothing to do with overclocking etc...
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Now you are just being ridiculous. Warranty is associated with the device itself, so it doesn't matter who unlocked it, as long as it is unlocked, there will be no warranty service. By using ASUS Unlocking tool (which connects to ASUS servers), the previous owner has given explicit consent to forfeiting the device's warranty. To put it simply, if you received the device unlocked from your friend as a gift, you should blame that person for giving you a device without warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
And it's not because you received your tab as a gift that you may have the warranty yiu want ! You didn't sign anything, don't worry the person who bought it has signed for that warranty and the warranty conditions were given to you as part of the gift.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Again -- you guys don't seem to read -- depending on the location of the user, you may or may not be able to void the warranty: if in the European Union, warranty is a legal right and cannot be voided at all by signing anything, because that would go against said law, and therefore be illegal per se.

I cannot recall to have seen a location for the OP.

EDIT/ADDITION: being given an unlocked device is not legally different from having bought it yourself and subsequently unlocking it yourself, provided you have a receipt. If you do not have a receipt, you're screwed anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
Until now, that european warranty is pure legend : nobody in Europe as yet been able to win against Asus for that reason, maybe a case is in progress but not yet finisged and we don't know what will be its conclusion.

PS : i'm european (France)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Asus is irrelevant for the European warranty - the seller is responsible for all your warranty claims under this law, not the manufacturer. The manufacturer is free to offer you any additional warranty they want, under whatever conditions they want.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
Yes and no : that was always true years ago but now i'm seeing that more and more sellers are using the manufacturer warranty : they tell you that in case of issue, you have to call the manufacturer (they give you the phone number). I had that case a few months ago for a baby phone that I had bought at Amazon. After a few weeks it was not working anymore and on Amazon web site it was indicated that for this product I had to call the manufacturer (which I did and my device was replaced without any problem).

So the warranty was from my seller but the repair was done by the manufacturer. And if we go back to our tf700 tabs, what I will have with my seeler (french shop FNAC) : i give them my tab, they send it to the manufacturer that answers them that it has been unlocked and then the warranty is over, and the FNAC shop would answer me the same. ps : i have not unlocked my tab and i'm waiting that my warranty if over before i unlock it
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I know that the topic of warranty law in the EU have been brought up quite a few times before in other threads, but I am not aware of anyone being able to unlock without voiding the warranty from ASUS, ever, regardless of regions. Back to the problem of the OP, since ASUS has already rejected the warranty claim from the OP, are you suggesting that he should sue ASUS if he lives in the EU? Otherwise, I can't see how this whole discussion about warranty law can help at all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
I've been looking though all different ROM's and still can't see one with a working camera. I'd prefer 4.2.2, but will go with 4.2.1, 4.1.x and even 4.0.x if needed. I just need a stable, FAST build with a working camera.

Thank you in advance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maraton:
Seems like developers' interest to G Tablet (and to most of old devices) is cooling down day by day. And we ain't gonna get 4.x with working cameras ever.

I tried lots of ROMs and for everyday use (at work and home) stopped at CyanogenMod7.2.0-RC0 BUILD98 REPACK | GTablet | 2.3.7 GWK74 (see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144847 ) with some build.prop tweaks. Not the best ROM ever built, but much better than others. Skype works fine, office software, too, children play some games, bla-bla-bla... The only issue is SOD time to time, mostly after leaving the tab charging for all night long. In the rest - fast and stable enough.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToadVine:
Even when working, the camera itself is so poor that its not really useful for much. However, a hi-def usb webcam works fine with Dirty Bean and gives you a great picture.
