[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] devoureddreams:
Thier not supposed to open a new phone up for 90 days at least thats what I was told by my local sprint lol I cant stand it when someone takes my phone apart. Gives me a complex.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LAYGO:
Meh. If they didn't I would've had to reactivate my GNex in order to make until the replacement arrived. The rocker wasn't allowing the phone to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theycallmerayj:
Couldn't find this in any other thread, but I was wondering if rooting, installing custom recovery and rom would allow asurion insurance to deny an insurance claim. Glass on my S4 is broken but still works and I want to root it before sending it in to get a new one to decide if I want to keep it or sell the new one when I get it. Is it possible to relock or I guess S-off the S4 so that it looks like it was never unlocked or rooted. I have a good deal of rooting, rom knowledge, but I'm unaware of how it works with insurance claims.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ifiwasperfect:
I returned my rooted N2 to Verizon with a rooted rom running lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theycallmerayj:
Haha, Nice. Off topic, Many times when I've gone to the VZ stores the employees are interested in how I like running a unlocked/rom'd device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bc760:
Depends if they look into it. I've sent several devices back with the bootloader unlocked and or soff and have yet to be charged. I guess if they really wanted to though yes they could deny your claim and charge you full retail.

I've returned a rooted/unlocked to Asurion and they never said anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
No, they will not. It's not even a gray area. Rooting does not affect insurance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZZDoug:
You wouldn't think that modifying software would affect insurance on hardware issues. However, i just got my S4 from a Verizon corporate store and was told in no uncertain terms by several employees (including the manager) that unlocking/rooting would void both warranty and insurance. Doesn't seem right but they were very sure about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theycallmerayj:
Could just be saying that to scare you. It does void warranty, but my guess would be asurion workers don't really care if it's rooted when they can clearly see it is broken physically. Might just take my chances.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
It voids warranty but has absolutely no bearing on insurance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZZDoug:
But why? Don't they make money from the sale of various options like insurance? I was in a hurry and didn't have time to shop around, so probably would have purchased the insurance. So they "scared" me right out of a sale.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oneandroidnut:
this i love the look on their face when i have them activate one or i get new sim and they look at my custom boot animation or unlocked splash screen and are like what is this? how you do that is cool lol

No. Root may void warranty but not insurance. Insurance is made for doing something stupid like dropping, washing, bricking...etc.

In what instance would you update using recovery as in video number 3 in this thread ( xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155576), and in what instance does one use rsd lite?

I just used rsd lite to update to jb, but had seen that video before and am wondering in what case would someone follow that procedure.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Updating from recovery is when the ota leaked or available to update

Rsd lite is use when the full fastboot is available to flash .

Rsd even use if ya have bricjed ya RAZR .

Why are there not OTA files for these official firmwares?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Fastboot that made by some developers and with the help of ota but flashing via rsd lite is more secure then flash ota and the fastboot files is even official.

Ota even is available in the forum but that is old method to update

[Motorola Atrix HD] katlic:
I have a new Motorola Atrix HD. I was using it and the screen went black. i hit the power button to unlock but nothing happened. i plugged it in but nothing happened. i took the back off to see if the battery was disconnected. I didn't know the battery was different than other phones and ripped the power cord connecting the battery to the phone when i took it out. lesson learned. Ordered a new battery and installed correctly. phone won't turn on. The green charge light blinks when i plug it into the wall and then stays on for about 20 seconds and then the phone tries to turn on but while the motorola icon is illuminated, it cuts back out and repeats the cycle. I left it plugged in for a couple hours and still the same thing. i tried holding in power and volume buttons for the boot screen. if i do that just as the phone attempts to turn on i can get the screen up and scroll the list of boot options with the power buttons but i can't select any of them and the phone cuts out after the same amount of time. Everytime. When i plug it into my laptop, the light blinks on and then stays on like with the wall, but the phone doesn't attempt to power up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have read a lot of forums where the battery was acting up because of the chargers people were using. The difference between my situation and those of the people i read about is that my boot screen cuts out and cannot be used. This all happened 2 days after my exchange period ended and because i took the back off myself, best buy won't have anything to do with me so i'm on my own and cannot afford another phone right now. Thanks in advance for your time and concern.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Is it possible that the that connection between the power cord and the phone itself is loose or damaged? I'm just guessing here as I have never opened up the back of my phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] darknessrise1234:
I would check your battery terminals then leave it to charge if it does. You could also try a factory cable. Another thing would be to try fastboot while connected to your laptop and see if it stays on, and if it does, try reflashing all partitions.

Does anyone know where I can buy the plug that plugs into the bottom connector for an XDAIIs?

I've asked everyone I can think of, searched Google, Maplin(UK) and Expansys and I can't find one. :cry:

It's probably because I don't know the correct name for it!

Ideally, I'd like one that has all 22 connections and even cables attached - they look really hard to solder onto by hand!

Any information would be greatfully received :lol:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarzSyndrome:
I was just this moment ago proceeding to move all the photos that had been saved to the MicroSD inside my GT-i9505 to the PC via USB connection. I was using the default MTP/PTP(?) explorer interface to find my photos.

I must've had something like 3GB worth of photos and videos on the card (I went a bit crazy with the camera in recent weeks!) and thought there would be nothing wrong with moving them off the card and onto my PC's hard disk. The whole moving process took quite a while so I thought I'd leave it to do its thing and then come back once it had finished.

But when I did, I noticed something bizarre - the folder was reported to come in at 2.55 TB (yes, *terabytes*!). I thought it was a silly Windows Explorer bug, but I reopened the window and checked Properties, and yup, still 2.55 TB. The drive partition I moved them to was compressed so I didn't actually need that much space, but it was still worrying. I checked some of the files and realised a fair amount of them were reported to be 3.42 GB each! The compressed size (size on disk) Windows 7 reported on the other hand was only 4 KB. Uh-oh. I tried to open them but Windows' own picture viewer had errors with them. I checked one file through a hex editor and noticed the majority of the file was just blank data followed by a smidgen of data at the very end, with no sign of headers.

So somehow, by doing something as innocent as moving photos and videos off of an S4-mounted MicroSD card, they got corrupted beyond repair in the process! What the hell?!

I'm gutted. Out of a total of 1,029 files and roughly 3GB, I managed to recover only 265 JPGs and 793 MB. Why did this happen? Is this a known issue with the phone or with MicroSD cards? :( I'm wondering whether it's anything to do with the MicroSD card I used - a non-brand specific 16GB one bought from my local Maplin and in a Maplin cardboard packet (online link at maplin.co.uk/micro-secure-digital-sdhc-memory-card-228011). The odd thing is that the phone and the OS reported no problems with the card, and the photos and videos saved to the card were fine and perfectly viewable on the phone just before I moved them off. As it is, I've now got 2 1/2 TBs worth of (presumably) permanently-damaged media files. Is there anything else I can do?

What I'm using, as follows:

Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505

16GB Maplin-brand MicroSD card

Windows 7 32-bit

If you need any other specs, let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarzSyndrome:
No handy words of advice for next time, then? :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krico:
This is what i do if i want to move ANY type of file from phone to other storage. I COPY, NOT MOVE files first to the destination that i want to and if they are successful then i will delete the other files from the phone. That way, if they do corrupt on destination, at least you still have originals because you copied only.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarzSyndrome:
Yeah, sounds like something I'll have to remember for next time.

I wish I knew exactly what the cause was. It could've been anything - the drive partition and/or its compressed state, the MicroSD card, the rather crappy MTP interface forced upon by Google, the large volume of the media I was copying (like I said, it was over 1,000 files).

I have a small feeling it might be the last one somehow, as the photos stored directly on the phone (of which there weren't that many before I switched to MicroSD) moved across to PC in perfect condition, as did the screenshots I also captured. Furthermore, I decided to do a quick test with the MicroSD by picking a random spot and repeatedly pressing the camera button/icon to take as many photos as possible in a short period of time. I managed to make over 100 before I got bored, but when I moved them off the card in the same manner as before (phone mounted to USB, MTP interface) they came out unscathed and not in any ballooned size.

Has anyone else ever come across any issues with moving large amounts of files at once between PC and phone-mounted MicroSD? The only other time I did a very large mass transfer was with some various ROMs for emulator use to my Nexus 7 tablet's onboard storage, and as far as I know they all came out fine.

It's frustrating when it seems like a problem such as this one is totally alien and googling can't help with jack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wkwkwk:
Hi,

Sorry about the cross post but I was wondering if it may be an Android 4.2.2 "feature" or bug rather than a CM10.1.

My original question in the CM10.1 thread:

I recently upgraded from CM10 to CM10.1 and I have a strange issue (with OpenVPN Connect but may not be necessarily related).

On CM10, openvpn was permanently connected. On screen off, the network connection was put on some sort of a standby). On a packet received (from the open vpn server), like a ping, the network would wake up (take about 2-3 seconds) and everything was fine. Push emails came instantly.

On CM10.1, after screen off the connection seems to be completely terminated, the phone is almost always unreachable. On screen on, I often see the 'reconnecting' message from the openvpn connect app.

I've setup a script that pings from the phone the openvpn server (every 3 minutes with wake lock from script manager) and if ping timesout it should send a vibrate. I get it almost every time meaning the data connection is off.

This causes quite a lot of delays with push emails (my server is through the openvpn connection). If I turn on the screen, the data connection will come back in a few seconds but only on screen on.

Is there something I can do so the network won't be turned off on screen off? From what I can see this is mainly on 3G, on wifi the data connection seems to be quite reliable.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] rpgdev:
You can easily "reproduce" this mod on the mini duos. I just did :) you just need to be rooted and have some root enabled file manager. What you need to do is download the zip file posted by OP and extract it, then copy the systemui.apk from your /system/app directory to a place where you can then see it from your computer. Once you do that from your computer you can use 7-zip to explore the contents of the apk and move the sim icons from OP's zip to the corresponding directory on your systemui.apk and then copy this apk back to /system/app. The name of the images and the path are the same so don't worry about renaming. Also, I think you can do all that while on android but I just feel more comfortable doing it from my computer :).

You're right, I can see this too but it is WAY better than having the stupid sim icon just standing there doing nothing. I believe OP can't do anything about this, what his mod does essentially is to replace the stock sim images for some 1x1 pixel dots: you can't get smaller than that. Since the space there it's bigger than a pixel this mod doesn't seem to be the cause of it. Maybe the system just reserves some space there, I have noticed that with two sims signal indicators the space is almost unnoticeable (OP's screenshot shows a two sim signal indicators configuration), like the second signal indicator eats that space.

Another thing, if you just want to remove the sim icons from the status bar but still want the special icons showing up in other places just replacing the ones with filename like stat_sim_*.png will suffice, no need to replace the sim_icon_*.png. I don't know if replacing those removes the icons from other noticeable places but I suppose it does lol.

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] Scrabbledo:
I can't write back the modified apk into system/apps -> permissions denied

I assume that the android system can't overwrite a running file.

My phone is rooted and I've used the ES Explorer with activated root explorer.

Any idea without that I should use the zip-file from post 1?
